Chapter 58: Relief.

"I said, I can help your father to be relieved from this world." Jon repeated it again.

Nijimura Keicho looked doubtful, his eyes full of vigilance.

"Jon Joestar, who are you really!"

"Ripple inheritor, Stand user, great pirate, professional hero... I have many identities. But for you, you just need to know that I'm someone who can help you."

Jon pointed to the ceiling above his head.

"Take me up there, everything will become clear."

Not only knowing the condition of his father, but even knowing that he hid him in the attic?

Nijimura Keicho took a deep breath, feeling as if he had been seen through by this black-haired young man who was not much older than him.

"Um um um...um um um..."

At this time, Nijimura Okuyasu started to make a fuss again.

Nijimura Keicho came back to his senses, a hint of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

"Do I..." He raised his head, looking straight into Jon's eyes, "Have no choice?"

Jon smiled without saying a word.

"Alright, as long as you can help my father to be relieved from this painful world, the arrow is yours."

"A deal is a deal!"

Both parties agreed verbally, and Joseph and Kakyoin let go of Nijimura Okuyasu.

The young genius Okuyasu wanted to make a big fuss, but seeing the expression on his big brother, he was scared and dared not move.

"I'll settle the score with you later." Nijimura Keicho, pale-faced, looked stern.

Nijimura Okuyasu couldn't help but shiver.

Big brother, listen to my explanation!

"Their father used to work for Dio, and after Dio died, the flesh buds in his body went out of control..." Jon looked at Kakyoin, "It's the kind of flesh bud that was once in your body."

Upon hearing this, Kakyoin opened his mouth.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

That was a past that was unbearable to recall.

"Every time I think about it, I get a chill."

"My Ripple technique is naturally designed to restrain these kinds of unknown evils, you all just wait here patiently, there's no need to worry."

After briefly explaining, Jon gave everyone a reassuring look.

Then, he followed Nijimura Keicho and Nijimura Okuyasu up to the attic.

The attic was very dark, almost no light could be seen.

The monster locked in the corner squinted its eyes, instinctively looking towards the door.

"If I don't make a move, he can live, if I do, he will die, have you thought it through?"

"...Yes."

Getting an affirmative answer, Jon slowly walked into the room.

He took a deep breath, spreading his palms expressionlessly.

In an instant, the Ripple spread.

Creating layers of ripples.

"Ugh...roar..."

The bloated monster let out an indistinct roar.

Nijimura Okuyasu showed a look of reluctance, tears streaming down his face as he clung to his older brother's sleeve.

"Do we really have to do this, he...he's our dad!"

"Okuyasu..." Nijimura Keicho's eyes were also red, "It's precisely because he's our dad, that we can't let him continue to suffer in this world."

"But."

Nijimura Okuyasu seemed to want to say something else.

Suddenly, the pustules on the monster's body exploded, splashing out streaks of foul-smelling green liquid.

Jon's eyelids twitched.

It was a bit disgusting.

"Ugh...it's so uncomfortable...kill me..."

Under the effect of the Ripple, the monster's eyes regained a bit of clarity.

Jon looked at Nijimura Keicho.

Nijimura Keicho took a deep breath, stiffly turned his head away, "Continue."

Jon understood, and released the golden Ripple without reservation.

"Sizzle."

Like frying oil meeting fire.

The monster burst into intense flames!

Tears blurred his eyes instantly, Nijimura Okuyasu wanted to rush to his dad's side like a madman, but was firmly held back by Nijimura Keicho.

Perhaps it was a final burst of energy.

Just before turning into ashes, Mr. Nijimura miraculously regained consciousness.

"Keicho...Okuyasu..."

He looked at the two brothers at the door, squeezing out an extremely ugly smile.

"I'm sorry."

"Dad!" Nijimura Okuyasu cried out in pain.

Nijimura Keicho gritted his teeth.

In just a few blinks of an eye, Mr. Nijimura's figure completely disappeared.

Jon quietly left the attic, leaving the brothers some alone time.

Back in the living room.

Meeting the eyes of Joseph and others, he nodded slightly, "The matter has been taken care of."

"Ah~" Joseph sighed.

Jotaro and Kakyoin remained silent.

A thousand words condensed into one sentence: Damn golden vampire!

(Unable to rise again, Dio: wryyyy?)

After waiting for a while, Nijimura Keicho and Nijimura Okuyasu finally came down from upstairs.

It was clear to see, the brothers were very downcast.

Sweeping over the people in the hall, finally, Nijimura Keicho's gaze fell on Jon, his tone complicated, "No matter what, I have to thank you."

"This is part of the deal." Jon said lightly.

"Yeah, the deal..."

Nijimura Keicho pursed his lips.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jon asked.

Nijimura Keicho was silent for a while, then said, "In any case, first take care of this silly kid..."

He looked at Nijimura Okuyasu, who was crying and sniffling.

"First, raise this little fool to adulthood."

"Then... you keep going." Jon tugged at the corner of his mouth, handing Nijimura Keicho the promised check and a business card, "If you encounter any difficulties, you can call this number."

Nijimura Keicho took it, didn't even look at it, and casually stuffed the business card into his pocket, "You don't need to worry about us"

Well, he was putting his warm face on a cold butt.

Jon didn't mind, waved his hand, and directly left the abandoned house with the 'arrow' and Jotaro and others.

Outside the house, the sun was shining brightly.

They had already obtained one of the two 'arrows', and everyone was in a pretty good mood.

Joseph suggested, "Why not just go ahead and find the other arrow too!"

Jotaro and Kakyoin had no objections.

Jon thought for a moment.

Given their team configuration, Kira Yoshikage should be as powerless as Nijimura Keicho.

Well, this team can fight.

Just as he was about to agree.

Suddenly, his Stand reflected a desire to evolve...

No, it's not a desire!

But a more human-like emotion.

Just like a person who is full but still wants to lick a few more ice creams.

His Stand, 'craved'!

Jon was stunned for a few seconds, and changed his words, "There's no need to rush, let's go to the hotel and rest for a night first."

So steady, my good son.

Joseph stroked the beard on his chin and nodded lightly, "He's steady, quite like me when I was young."

Jotaro pressed the brim of his hat in a somewhat speechless manner.

"Yare yare daze."

...

...

That night, at the Hotel.

When there was only him left in the room, Jon summoned his Stand.

A transparent Door leaf about five meters high, engraved with nebulae and the World Tree, quietly appeared.

There were three nebulae lit up on the Door surface, representing the 'Pirate World', 'One Punch World', and 'Demon Slayer World'.

Jon had a slight thought, and let the Stand that was poking into the ceiling return to its normal size.

And then...

He started 'feeding'.

'Ziya'

The Door leaf opened wide, and a sound similar to a wooden door opening inexplicably sounded in Jon's heart.

The wind in the room was swirling.

Numerous thin threads stretched out from the 'Door', entwining around the 'arrow'.

Here it comes, here it comes, that indescribable feeling of pleasure is back!

"It's... it's even more refreshing than changing into a brand new pair of underwear on a clear New Year's morning..."
