Chapter 11: Return, Classic Reproduction

Pushing open the transparent door, it's a new world again.

Looking at the bustling streets, Jon suddenly felt a sense of deja vu.

Finally...

I'm back!

"Hey hey hey, young man, this won't do, you can't be walking around the street with such a dangerous thing."

Suddenly, a casual policeman came up, looking displeased as he weighed the rubber baton in his hand.

"Name, age. And, where did you get your sword? Be honest, don't play tricks!"

"This sword, I bought it from a toy store."

Jon chuckled dryly.

After a few seconds, he asked, "Sir, this is Egypt, right?"

"Nonsense! If this isn't Egypt, where else could it be?"

The policeman gave Jon a glance.

This kid, he must be out of his mind!

Jon asked again, "What about the time, is it 1988 now?"

"I say, are you deliberately picking a fight? Anyway, come with me to the station first!"

The policeman didn't want to answer any more idiotic questions.

With a glare, he was about to take action without saying a word!

Jon's face flashed with a hint of helplessness, and his figure disappeared on the spot.

This time the patrolman was frightened. 

His legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground, unable to speak for a long time.

Tens of meters away, Jon, who had just walked out of the 'inner world', touched his smooth chin.

"Anyway, let's go to the SPW Foundation first."

.....

...

America, Los Angeles, Joestar Mansion.

"Ding dong! Ding dong!"

The heavy brick phone rang with an annoying ring, but Joseph Joestar didn't answer it, just leaning on the sofa smoking his pipe.

Perhaps he wasn't used to the taste of nicotine, after a few puffs, the old man started to cough.

"Really, old man, how long are you going to be negative?"

On the side, Jotaro, dressed in a long student uniform, spoke in a mature tone that didn't match his age: "Do you want Jon to see you in this unambitious state?"

"You're really strict, Jotaro, I'm your grandfather after all."

Joseph gave a bitter smile.

Putting down his pipe, he seemed to be talking to himself, and also to Jotaro.

"Jon, that kid, perfectly inherited all my strengths, logically, he shouldn't die so easily."

"He's just missing."

Jotaro corrected him expressionlessly.

Joseph was silent.

After a long time, the old man began to speak word by word, "It's all my fault, if my reaction could have been faster that day, Jon wouldn't have been ambushed by Dio!"

Jotaro's heart trembled.

Closing his eyes, the scene of the fierce battle with Dio flashed through his mind.

At that time, he, Joseph, Polnareff, Avdol, Kakyoin, Iggy, and Jon, six people and a dog, had already pushed Dio to the brink, even the ability to stop time couldn't turn the tide!

However, the arrow that Dio threw out in his dying counterattack cast a layer of tragedy on this battle that should have been a complete victory.

Jon.

Jon, who could have avoided the arrow with his Stand ability, chose to resist with his body because he was worried about Joseph behind him!

"Old man, if you say that, then my mistake should be bigger. After all, I was the closest to Dio."

Jotaro slowly opened his eyes.

"Things have already happened, no matter how much you regret it, it's helpless, instead of living in regret every day, it's better to give an account to the living."

After a pause, he said again: "Polnareff and Avdol have arranged everything, just waiting for tomorrow's funeral..."

"You also said, he's just missing!"

Hearing this, Joseph suddenly became excited.

Even though he had seen a lot of storms, in the pain of a white-haired person sending off a black-haired person, the old man still lost his sanity.

Jotaro was silent.

After tens of seconds, he lowered his hat brim.

"Rest well, there's still work to do tomorrow."

...

...

The wind was cold.

It felt like a knife on the face.

Joseph touched his face.

It was wet.

Is it raining?

"Mr. Joseph, leave this kind of thing to us."

Polnareff, who was carrying the coffin, couldn't help but speak.

Next to him, Avdol also added, "Yes, you should be with Mrs. Suzi Q..."

"What nonsense!"

Joseph's expression became serious.

"I'm not so old that I can't carry things!"

"Yare yare daze."

Jotaro lowered his hat brim, making it difficult for others to see his expression.

This was a rather simple funeral, not held in a cemetery, but moved to the backyard of the Joestar mansion.

The coffin was filled with Jon's old clothes, which were picked out one by one by Suzi Q and Holy.

Accompanied by solemn funeral music, several people steadily placed the coffin into the hole that had been dug long ago.

Polnareff coughed lightly, turned around to face Jon's family, and began the routine memorial segment.

"To be honest, I didn't know Jon for a long time, all in all, it was less than two months, but this kid and I got along the best, thinking about it now, it was a happy time.

He is a smart guy, and a partner worth relying on, no matter where he is, may he find happiness and peace."

As soon as he finished speaking, the naturally lively Polnareff couldn't control the tears in his eyes.

Avdol patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jon and I have known each other for a long time, a few years ago, we went around the world to visit martial arts masters, at that time, he was still a kid..."

Polnareff, Avdol, Kakyoin, and even the dog Iggy, all expressed their longing for Jon.

The air was filled with the smell of sadness.

Joseph hugged his wife and daughter, crying silently.

Jotaro still kept his hat brim down.

Just then, a familiar voice broke the heavy atmosphere.

"Why are you all crying?"

Jon, who had just returned from Egypt, looked puzzled.

"What happened?"

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

A full ten seconds passed.

Not a single person could speak a complete sentence.

Jon scratched his head, "This is really baffling."

"Jon!"

Jon's mother, Suzi Q, was the first to react, she quickly ran to Jon's side, and reached out her trembling hand, "Good boy, is it really you?"

"Of course it's me, mom."

Jon laughed and nodded to his sister Holy, "Long time no see, you look pretty good."

"Hey, you brat, how can you call your sister like that!"

Joseph was furious.

But this instinctive anger was soon replaced by joy.

He's finally back.

It's good that he's back, it's good that he's back!

"Jon!"

"Woof!"

"Where on earth have you been these days, I've been looking for you all over the world!"

"Jon, welcome back!"

Polnareff, Avdol and others laughed and rushed towards Jon.

Only Jotaro stood still.

But upon closer inspection, you would notice that the corners of his mouth were turned up.

"Yare yare daze."
