"Wh-what do you know?"
Kai Ishida emerged from behind the door, freezing Anasui's movements mid-air.
Kai Ishida's words also gave him a bad feeling, and he cautiously asked, "Did Mr. Jotaro tell you something?"
At these words, Kai Ishida's expression grew even more solemn.
Then he silently nodded.
"Dr. Jotaro said that he thinks I'm a good person, my family background is relatively clean, and especially when fighting enemies, I protected Jolyne very well, so he intends to marry his daughter to me, making me the son-in-law of the Kujo Family..."
Kai Ishida hadn't finished speaking when his collar was directly grabbed by Anasui.
"So, you, this guy, just now when you saw me summon my Stand, you thought I knew about this news and wanted to attack you?"
"Isn't that right?" Kai Ishida tilted his head in confusion, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.
However, Anasui, consumed by rage, clearly didn't notice this.
Love ending before it even began was too much for this pure-hearted young man to bear, and he immediately roared:
"Since that's the case, I'll tell you, you guessed right! I'm going to show you what true bone and flesh separation is today!"
However, just as Anasui was about to throw his punch, Kai Ishida unseasonably burst into laughter.
"Puhahahahahahaha--"
And Weather, who was watching this farce from a nearby seat, also showed a rare slight upward curve of his lips.
"Eh?!"
Seeing this, Anasui immediately knew he had been tricked. His fist, suspended in mid-air, was about to smash into Kai Ishida's face.
However, he did retract the Stand on his fist.
Clearly, he just wanted to vent some frustration.
At this moment, Weather Forecast stopped him and calmly said, "Alright, according to scientific research, appropriately livening up the atmosphere before a big battle can make the subsequent actions go more smoothly."
"Huh? What kind of scientific research is that?" Anasui was a bit confused.
It didn't make sense that Weather, an amnesiac, would know something he didn't.
In response, Weather held up the comic book in his hand and said with a serious expression, "It says here, a famous scientist, Swartz Kishorde, said it."
"Exactly, exactly." Kai Ishida also nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Hearing this, Anasui's face darkened.
He felt like he was being treated like a fool, but he still let go of Kai Ishida.
"Phew--"
"That was a close call." Kai Ishida wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead.
"Let's go meet up with Jolyne and the others now. Unless something unexpected happens, Father Pucci should have one more helper."
At the same time.
On the streets of Orlando.
A couple on a date was enjoying their happy time together.
However, just then, an urgent phone ring unseasonably sounded.
"Dururururururu--"
"Dururururururu--"
"Dururururururu--"
The man with the donut-shaped hair standing next to the woman frowned slightly, seemingly displeased at being interrupted.
But when he saw the note on the phone, he still chose to answer the call.
"Hello, this is Giorno."
"Mm, alright, I understand."
"Mm."
Trish, standing nearby, quietly watched Giorno on the phone. When he hung up, she asked, "Is it organization business again?"
"No." Giorno shook his head. "It's someone from the SPW Foundation."
"SPW Foundation...?" Trish recalled for a moment, then said, "Is that the foundation behind your nominal nephew, who is actually decades older than you?"
"Mm." Giorno nodded.
"Their people sent word that Mr. Jotaro is bedridden, and my ability might be able to help with his condition. I might have to go to Texas. I'm sorry, our trip together might have to end for now."
"...No, it's fine. It's just a treatment, it won't take long. After that, we still have plenty of time, don't we?"
As she finished speaking, Trish actively linked her arm through Giorno's.
"Alright, we should go early and come back early."
Seeing this, Giorno's apology deepened. "I promise, after this is over, I'll spend some quality time with you."
As for the organization's affairs...
Mr. Polnareff will surely handle them well, right!
"Then it's a deal!"
...In a flash, night fell.
The helicopter from the SPW Foundation to pick up Giorno had already landed at a suburban helipad outside Orlando, Florida.
The rotation speed of the rotor blades was slowly decreasing.
The helicopter also landed steadily on the ground.
And in addition to the SPW Foundation staff, three adult male figures also disembarked from the helicopter.
"Oh, who are these three?"
Giorno looked at the three figures, especially the man wearing a white flat-top hat with two small horns on top.
At this point, the staff member quickly introduced the identities of the three.
"They are Kai Ishida, Weather Forecast, and Anasui. They have important business in Orlando, so they flew over together."
"I see." Giorno nodded.
He felt a familiar aura from Weather, somewhat similar to that Father.
More importantly, this man gave him a long-lost sense of familiarity.
Just like that Father.
However, compared to that Father, this man seemed purer.
With this in mind, Giorno suddenly took off one of the ladybug brooches on his body, and then, using the technique he had honed at the Naples airport, he pinned the brooch onto Kai Ishida, who was closest to him, at the moment their bodies crossed paths with Weather and his group.
After the group had walked away.
Trish also watched their retreating figures and looked at Giorno in confusion: "Do you know him?"
"I haven't seen him in my memory; he's a complete stranger."
"Then why would you give him such a precious item? For ordinary people, that thing could be considered a second life, couldn't it?"
"Who knows, maybe it's fate. Fate is guiding me to do this."
