Kakyoin Noriaki looks gentle, but in fact it is extremely difficult for him to truly open his heart to others and give them trust. This is due to his childhood experience that is different from that of ordinary people.
Kakyoin Noriaki is a natural Stand user, and his Stand has been with him since he can remember. But except for him, no one has ever seen his Stand - the Green Hierophant.
It is said that there is a kind of attraction between Stand users, but this law has never been manifested in Kakyoin Noriaki.
Perhaps there is also a certain reason that the power of Stand in this world appeared a little late. It can be said that Kakyoin Noriaki is one of the first people who naturally possesses a Stand. Even the two people in the Joestar family awakened their Stands because they were influenced by Dio.
There are only a few dozen Stand users in the world, and most of them serve Dio or hide. Living in an island country, it is indeed unlikely that Kakyoin Noriaki will meet people of his kind.
Because no one can see the Emperor, Kakyoin Noriaki is isolated from the outside world. He has been a child who is unwilling to communicate with others since he was a child, which makes his parents particularly worried.
However, this situation changed after he met Jotaro Kujo and the others. He met his own kind.
But apart from these few partners he recognized, although Kakyoin Noriaki was full of complaints about Tokiwa at the moment, he was still on guard.
Kakyoin Toriaki didn't really go to the airport - or rather, the route they took could indeed reach the airport, but they had to go a long way, and if they really wanted to go to the airport, it would be better for them to take a taxi.
If you really want to help someone who is lost and going to the airport, the latter is the best way. But Kakyoin Toriaki didn't seem to have thought of this simple solution.
With the system, Tokiwu knew that he was being taken a detour by Kakyoin Toriaki, but this was also within his plan. As long as they were together long enough, he would always have a chance to join the protagonist team!
This was enough time for Polnareff, who had returned from the toilet, to realize the problem and find Mr. Joseph before the time they agreed on to determine his location. Kakyoin Toriaki made such a plan in his heart when he was communicating with Tokiwu.
As for Polnareff, who he had high hopes for, at this moment... well, let's just wait for him to leave the restroom.
Chatting with Tokiwa about everything, Toriaki Kakyoin realized that the knowledge possessed by this Josuke-kun was indeed only at the level of an ordinary high school student - even his academic performance was probably at the bottom of the class. You
can't tell from his appearance at all, Toriaki Kakyoin sighed in his heart, and when making this evaluation, Toriaki Kakyoin selectively forgot that he and the other party were actually the same age.
When Tokiwa heard Toriaki Kakyoin mention homework, he felt that something was wrong - he was only 14 years old! He had never been to school! What on earth are these chemistry, physics, and politics you are talking about! I really don't understand!
What laws, equations, integral tables, etc., are you sure you are talking about high school courses and not some heavenly book?
Tokiwa does understand some common sense knowledge, and he is not bad at calculations either - after all, he has to calculate the timing of battles and so on. But when it comes to making a table or a formula, Tokiwa is completely confused.
So after going deeper into the topic, Kakyoin Noriaki unexpectedly discovered that maybe "Jousuke-kun"'s grades were not as bad as he thought, but when it came to knowledge that needed to be memorized by rote, the other party would show a certain confusion and bewilderment.
And, unexpectedly like literature? Kakyoin Noriaki noticed that when he mentioned some famous writers, Tokiwa reacted as if he was triggered by something.
I like detective novels, especially those written by Ranpo Edogawa. Kakyoin Noriaki added this to the personality traits of "Higashigata Josuke" in his heart.
But... aren't Polnareff and the others too slow? If they don't show up, he will really send this "Josuke-kun" back to his country!
- But even if he really does that, there is generally no problem. Having experienced so many enemies during this period of time, Kakyoin Noriaki thinks that he can still distinguish between enemies and not. Although
this Josuke-kun does have some contradictions, it is too coincidental to find an elder who looks very similar to Jotaro in this case. He even has a stand in the same situation. I don't know why he released the stand and then took it back in the first place.
Doubts come one after another, but it does not mean that all Stand users are enemies, nor does it mean that "Azuma Josuke" will be a threat to them.
At least in this short half-hour of getting along, Kakyoin Noriaki felt that if they had not met under such circumstances, a month earlier, before he chose to face Dio, he would definitely make friends with the other party - after all, they are rare "peers" with non-disgusting personalities.
Tokiwa, who was described by him in this way, almost cried in his consciousness.
"I chose to approach them for English, but why did Kakyoin Noriaki mention mathematics?" Tokiwa complained to the system aggrievedly: "I really don't understand..."
The system's response to this was: [In the next world, I will send you to school. 】
Toki:
When I put a question mark, it’s not that I have a problem, but I think you have a problem.
But after hesitating for a while, Toki finally didn’t refuse.
He pursed his lips in his heart, "I don’t want junior high school, I want high school——"
He must understand those formulas that Kakyoin Noriaki said today!
The system’s voice was accompanied by a smile: [Okay. ]
Toki found that he was becoming more and more proficient, or in the process of Kakyoin Noriaki understanding him, he also understood each other more and more, and could predict the other party’s reaction to a greater extent, so he could prepare in advance. This gave him time to continue communicating with the system.
At this point, both Toki and Kakyoin Noriaki were trying to find topics to delay time——the purpose of both people was to let Jotaro Kujo and the others catch up.
As a result, when it was dark, Kakyoin Toriaki did not bring Tokiwa to the airport after all. Instead, he stood at the place where they first met. The red-haired high school student showed an awkward but polite smile: "Sorry, I seem to be lost too."
After talking nonsense all day, Tokiwa, who had not seen anyone except Kakyoin Toriaki, tried hard to keep smiling, but this vest made him unable to do even this action.
Tokiwa could only say in this calm and cold tone: "It's okay."
After a slight pause, he added: "Can you help me book a room? The kind that I pay for!"
As if worried that Kakyoin Toriaki would misunderstand, he added: "I just don't know how to communicate with them..." I
always feel a little sorry for Josuke-kun. Kakyoin Noriaki sighed inwardly and smiled: "Of course."
"By the way, you need an identity document to book a hotel, such as a passport or something..." In fact, it is not necessary. Kakyoin Noriaki said this just to confirm the explanation given by Shiwu before.
I don't know if Shiwu has realized this, but fortunately, the system has all these things ready. Shiwu found the relevant documents in his trouser pocket and breathed a sigh of relief.
He handed his passport to Kakyoin Noriaki. And this action, to a large extent, reduced Kakyoin Noriaki's vigilance against Shiwu.
However, this reduced vigilance only lasted for five seconds. When Kakyoin Noriaki walked into the hotel and opened the passport that Shiwu had forged by the system, his eyes stopped on the date of birth on the passport.
Since the hotel was booked by the system and the air tickets were handed over to the system, the system can modify certain information on the Internet. When Shi Wu was practicing the dialogue, he also tried to buy an air ticket, but he did not take out his passport at that time. He just wanted to practice.
So from beginning to end, Shi Wu never opened his passport to look at it. No, even if he opened it, he would not think there was anything wrong with it.
Kakyoin Noriaki looked at the year of birth -
1983? But isn't this year 1987? It can't be that the high school student in front of him who is the same age as him is actually only 4 years old!
Kakyoin Noriaki tried hard not to let his body become stiff, nor did he look at Shi Wu with a vigilant and defensive look. Instead, he took a few deep breaths secretly while maintaining his original pace, turned around again, and planned to speak to the blue-haired boy standing next to him to test.
Only this time, his dearest companions interrupted him in this situation.
"Kakyoin!" Polnareff's voice came from the door, which made Kakyoin Noriaki stop talking and turn around.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Polnareff, who looked particularly ferocious, with wounds all over his body from being scratched by glass. Because his body was covered in blood, Kakyoin Noriaki couldn't judge the severity of Polnareff's injuries for a while.
Kakyoin Noriaki was ten seconds slower than Polnareff before he turned around. It seemed that he just reacted. He seemed to be startled by the blood on Polnareff's body, and then Polnareff was startled by his face.
"Hana-Hana-Hana Kakyoin! He's not--" Is that the man in the photo!
And the reason why he used the term "partners" when he interrupted Noriaki Kakyoin's speech was because--Polnareff was not the only one who came back at this point in time.
Before Polnareff could finish his next words, Jotaro Kujo, Joseph and others also returned to this position, looked at them in surprise, and shouted: "Kakyoin! Polnareff! What's going on?!"
"Wait! He's not--" This time, it was Joseph and others who noticed Tokiwa standing next to him.
Noriaki Kakyoin: ...
Noriaki Kakyoin silently clenched the passport belonging to Tokiwa in his hand. Tokiwa turned around slowly, looking at his passport that he had not used many times with some heartache.
In this world, there is a strange and special law, that is, when encountering an enemy, it will always inexplicably turn into a one-on-one battle. No matter how the protagonists want to find partners, their companions will pass by them due to various accidents or even blindly. In short, they can't see anyone and can't provide help - what a joke.
Kakyoin Noriaki took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.
Because he was closest to Kakyoin, Tokiwa hesitated and swallowed back the words "Maybe I can cure him" a beat slower.
Tokiwa felt that if he spoke at this time, Kakyoin would make a note of him.
The author has something to say: Tokiwa: I'll listen to you and go to school in the next world!
