This is what Giorno saw when he rushed over.
Although he had already noticed Kotobuki's inhuman identity, there had never been a moment more certain of this than now.
Bright spots of light fell around them, and there was not a trace of regret on their faces. Giorno looked into the silver-haired boy's clear purple eyes and was stunned for a moment.
Is it his illusion? I feel like... Kotobuki-sensei seems to be a little different.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Giorno watched the twins disappear in silence, then looked at the mess on the ground.
As mentioned before, the battle between Stands is measured in seconds, so even if a lot of things happen in between, the actual time that has passed may only be a few minutes. Giorno and Mista's speed can't catch up, but they arrived here only a few minutes later and completely missed the battle.
The face of the man lying on the ground was the same one that Giorno had seen on Melancholy Blues—the face of a passionate boss.
Mista didn't seem to notice this. He just grabbed Giorno's arm and pointed to the place where the two disappeared, stammering, "Am I seeing things? Did you see it just now, Giorno? They disappeared!"
Giorno nodded. "It disappeared."
Mista: "Why are you so calm, Giorno? They just disappeared! Are they enemies?"
Giorno was silent for a moment, looked at the man on the ground, and replied, "Maybe."
They had not expected Diavolo's death at all. But when they thought about the fact that Kokuko had been with Diavolo for more than ten years, it didn't seem surprising at all.
Kotobuki knows all of Diavolo's weaknesses and habits. Moreover, if the original body is attacked, even the most powerful Stand will disappear.
Everything ended so quickly that everyone looked as if they were dreaming.
The only good thing is that they are all still alive, and that the child named Terry will no longer be threatened in the future.
With Diavolo here, they naturally realized immediately who the daughter was - and then after a little investigation, they found out that Trish had always been an ordinary person and had no idea who his father was.
Just because of that identity, she almost fell into danger... But Diavolo's rule was over, and the child would never be threatened like this again, nor would she enter this bizarre world. It was hard to tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
After everything was over, Jotaro Kujo talked with Giorno and left Italy with two friends. When he returned home, his daughter had recovered and hugged him in surprise. However, his wife, who was always generous and enthusiastic, asked him after welcoming him home, "Where is Catfishtail?"
Jotaro Kujo fell silent.
Seeing her husband's reaction, Kayla knew what was going on. This was Kayla's first unnatural separation, and she didn't even know what happened.
She has always known that her husband has a secret that no one knows about, and she also understands that her husband is protecting her. She understands all of this, but it does not mean that she can accept it.
Amidst the intense emotional fluctuations, Kayla had a big fight with Jotaro Kujo for the first time.
The more familiar the person is, the more hurtful the words said in anger are. Jotaro Kujo is not the type to argue for himself, so he accepted it in silence.
Kong Tiao Xu Lun was sandwiched between her parents, looking left and right, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.
When Kayla saw her young daughter rushing in, her anger suddenly subsided. After coaxing her daughter back to the room, she questioned Jotaro Kujo: "Xu Xu is still so young, she doesn't even know about death and separation - how do you want me to tell her that her favorite little brother will not come again?"
"This time it was Catfish Tail who left, but what about next time? What if Xu Xu encounters danger?"
Kayla's words made Jotaro Kujo suddenly think of the child named Trish - if the coward twins had not resolved everything in time, the danger of Diavolo's identity and their behavior at the time would have put the girl named Trish in danger.
Just because Terry has a father with a special identity.
Is it really okay to keep it a secret from them? Can he, Jotaro Kujo, really catch up every time? Will Dio's remnants let them go just because he showed that he didn't care about his wife and children?
Jotaro Kujo couldn't help but recall that when he first decided to get married, Kakyoin showed him a helpless and worried look and asked him, "Are you really ready, Jotaro?"
At that time, Jotaro Kujo just thought that Kakyoin meant to be prepared to accept a family. At that time, he still had the vigor and enthusiasm of a college student - he naturally believed that he could do his best.
It wasn't until a life was born - a daughter connected to him by blood - that Jotaro Kujo panicked. He was worried that Dio's remnants would harm his family, so he went home less and less frequently and devoted all his time to dealing with the Stand user's issues.
Kakyoin Noriaki and Catfish had reminded him more than once that his wife and daughter were not weak and that they were not unable to accept these things. Catfish even once held the two-year-old Xu Lun in her arms and made faces at him, complaining that he was "male chauvinism."
Jotaro Kujo was silent for a long time, and then he asked his doubts to Noriaki Kakyoin and Polnareff, who were staying in a nearby hotel as they did not want to get involved in his family affairs.
They have been friends and companions for more than ten years. This alone makes it impossible for Jotaro Kujo to tell them these things. But this time, Jotaro Kujo needs others to give him the answer.
Polnareff, who was always unreliable, did not laugh at him. Instead, he said with a serious expression: "You underestimate women, Jotaro."
Kakyoin Noriaki also looked a little surprised: "I thought it would take a few more years for you to realize this... No, if it was you, Jotaro, you might not realize it at all."
Kakyoin Noriaki has always been a careful person. He lowered his eyes and obviously realized what changed Jotaro Kujo's mind: "Is it because of Catfish Tail..."
"You know Jojo, I have been on the same team with Catfish from the beginning." Kakyoin Noriaki showed a slightly bitter smile. In the past ten years, Catfish has almost always been with Kakyoin Noriaki. It can be said that in Kakyoin Noriaki's heart, apart from his parents, Catfish can be ranked first with his companions and is a very important friend.
Now that Catfishtail has left, the saddest person is Kakyoin.
It's just that he left so suddenly and in such a short time that none of them could recover from the shock.
Seeing what Kujo Jotaro wanted to say, Kakyoin Noriaki waved his hands: "Don't comfort me, Jotaro."
"I have already vaguely sensed it from the beginning..." Kakyoin Noriaki picked up the ice water on the side, "That child... has his brothers in all his memories. Conversely, if there is no Kotobuki's memory, there is no him either."
The incompleteness of the memory is one thing, and there is more of a sense of incompatibility, all of which are acquired during the more than ten years of getting along with each other. It's just that Kakyoin Noriaki subconsciously ignored it and didn't think that the other party would leave.
Kakyoin Noriaki obviously didn't want to talk more, so he changed the subject and suggested to Jotaro Kujo: "Want to give it a try, Jotaro?"
Jotaro Kujo: “What?”
Kakyoin Noriaki: "This time when we go to Japan, bring Xu Lun with you."
Without waiting for Jotaro Kujo to refuse, Kakyoin Noriaki immediately added: "This time, Polnareff and I will go together. We will protect Xu Lun. Don't you still trust us?"
Jotaro Kujo pulled down the brim of his hat. How could he not understand what Noriaki Kakyoin meant.
This time, it was not only for him, but also partly because of Polnareff. Without their knowledge, their companions were in danger. Kakyoin Noriaki didn't want to see his friends get hurt again, so this time he had to take Polnareff with him to Japan.
But if it's just said like that, Polnareff, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, will never agree. If there is a reason, like now, Polnareff will of course agree.
Polnareff's reaction was exactly as they imagined. He had no intention of going to Japan with them, but now that Kakyoin Noriaki had said so, he would not deny his companion's face, so he nodded blankly: "Yes, Jotaro, Kakyoin and I will protect your daughter."
But the next words were beyond the expectations of Jotaro Kujo and Noriaki Kakyoin.
Polnareff said, "You are a hero, Jotaro."
"Although I know you won't like this, you can't deny that your daughter is a hero's daughter, and she is also a JOJO."
Jotaro Kujo was silent. He lowered his eyes and said in a very complicated tone: "I just hope Xu Lun can grow up like an ordinary girl."
Jotaro Kujo couldn't make a decision, and when he returned home, Kayla was in the kitchen and his daughter was sitting alone in the empty living room, watching Tom and Jerry on TV.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Xu Lun widened his eyes in surprise, jumped off the sofa, and sprinted into his father's arms: "Dad!"
Looking into Xu Lun's eyes, Jotaro Kujo's expression naturally softened. He half-knelt down, put his hand on Xu Lun's hair, and asked his daughter's opinion for the first time.
He asked, "Would you like to go to Japan with me, Xu Lun?"
Xu Lun jumped up and down happily and replied, "Sure, sure! We're going to Dad's house, right? Xu Xu hasn't seen Grandma for a long time!"
"Will mom go with us?" Xu Lun's eyes lit up.
Jotaro Kujo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "You need to ask your mother about this."
Xu Lun nodded in confusion. In her mind, this was a rare family trip together. The black-haired girl smiled and said, "What about Catfishtail? Is he going with us?"
"He promised Xu Xu that he would go out together!"
The ignorant little girl waved her fist and said this to her father.
