The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

“I see—” Sonosaki Saeko understood.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent.

After all, he still had a mission to complete, and Jon didn't want to stay here, so he took the initiative to say, "Let's talk next time, we still have things to do."

Princess Wakana suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Okay."

Then, she looked at Sonosaki Saeko and said, "Big sis, I'm going to work."

"Be careful on the road, Wakana." Sonosaki Saeko responded with a smile.

Although these were words of concern, Jon could clearly hear the coldness in them.

He glanced at Princess Wakana and Sonosaki Saeko calmly.

It seems that the relationship between these two sisters is not as simple as it seems.

"Okay, let's go in." Sonosaki Saeko was still smiling, as if nothing had happened.

Jon naturally didn't refuse.

After entering Sonosaki Manor, he kept looking around.

"What's wrong? Haven't you been here before?" asked Sonosaki Saeko.

Jon's expression remained unchanged. "Last time I came here just to investigate a case, and you dragged me into the kitchen and we talked for the whole afternoon. How could I have time to go anywhere else?"

Sonosaki Saeko said meaningfully, "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

I can't accept that.

Jon chose to remain silent.

The widow didn't care and led Jon directly into the villa.

Except for the head maid who had been arrested, the rest were familiar faces. Amid the surprised eyes of many servants, Sonosaki Saeko led John to the study.

Standing at the door, Sonosaki Saeko unconsciously restrained the expression on her face.

Taking a deep breath, she raised her hand and knocked gently on the door.

"Father, it's me. I brought you Jon Joestar."

After a while, a response came from the study.

"Come in."

Sonosaki Saeko pushed the door open and walked in.

Jon followed closely behind.

Although it is called a study, it is more like a small library.

Amidst countless documents and materials, a sixty-year-old man with a slicked-back hair sat in the middle. He wore a pair of brown sunglasses and looked serious.

John thought that this must be the head of the Sonosaki family, Sonosaki Ryubei.

"Are you the John Joestar that Saeko often talked about to me?" Staring at John, Sonosaki Ryubei took the initiative to speak.

Jon was naturally not afraid of the stage, and said calmly, "It's me."

After receiving a positive answer, Sonosaki Ryubei showed a rare smile on his face, "I have heard Saeko talk about you many times. Yes, you are a very capable person."

"You're too kind, old sir." Jon waved his hand.

Sonosaki Saeko took the opportunity to say, "Jon, father admires you very much, especially the investigations on Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider J."

As she said this, she patted Jon's shoulder gently, "You did a great job."

Jon said half-seriously, "As a detective, this is just my job. And you've already paid the deposit, so of course I'll do my best."

Sonosaki Saeko wanted to say something else.

At this time, Sonosaki Ryubei suddenly interrupted and said, "Okay Saeko, there is nothing for you to do here. I want to talk to this young man alone."

Upon hearing this, Sonosaki Saeko's face changed.

But she never dared to openly disobey her father's orders, so she could only bite her lip and nodded reluctantly.

Turning around, she lowered her voice and reminded Jon secretly: "Be careful with your words and actions."

Jon's heart suddenly trembled.

After Sonosaki Saeko left, Sonosaki Ryubei extended his hand and invited her, "Stop standing and talking. Sit down."

Jon followed his instructions and sat down on the sofa.

Sonosaki Ryubei hesitated for a moment and spoke directly, "Although we have only met once, I know you must be a smart person.

Let's be frank, Saeko likes you and has strongly recommended you to me, wanting to bring you into the Sonosaki family. I have been taking a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.

But since you have investigated the true identities of Kamen Rider W and Kamen Rider J, it means that you do have some skills.

So, I can give you a chance.”

what is this?

Recruiting a son-in-law, right?

Qiao An felt a little disgusted.

But I remembered the instructions given by Shotaro Sae and the others.

He neither agreed nor refused, but simply said, 'I'll think about it.'

This kind of reaction actually made Sonosaki Ryubei admire her even more.

After thinking for a while, he said, “I don’t have the habit of forcing others to work for me.

But are you interested in taking a tour of the "History of the Earth" with me? "

When Jon heard this, he knew the main point of the play was about to begin.

He nodded and said, "It's my pleasure."

Jon's thoughts were still a little shallow.

The manor where the Sonosaki family lives is not just a manor, but a completely autonomous territory.

Villas and manors are only part of the territory.

Two kilometers away from the villa, Sonosaki Ryubei brought John to a ruin that looked very mysterious.

The old man calls this place a "museum".

"Compared with the Earth, human history is too small." Sonosaki Ryubei said lightly.

Jon couldn't agree more.

No matter what, he is also a man with "time and space authority", and no one has more say than him about this.

Sonosaki Ryubei then said: "Humans need to evolve."

and many more.

I don't understand what you said, the jump is a bit big

But Jon was still rational and didn't say anything.

"You are a well-known detective in Fuuto, and you must have taken on many cases related to memory. I think with your intelligence, you should be able to think that there is an invisible driving force behind all this." Sonosaki Ryubei smiled.

"I think this is why you approached Saeko and me on purpose, right?"

As expected of an old fox, he is very vigilant.

Jon, who was well prepared, spread his hands and said, "Sometimes it's not that I want to investigate, I just follow the clues and find out something I shouldn't know.

Haha, you also said that I am a smart person and I know that there are some things that can be touched and some things that cannot be touched. "

Subtext: You can do whatever you want, it has nothing to do with me.

Sonosaki Ryubei did not dispel his suspicions because of a few words. He was still smiling, "It doesn't matter even if you admit it. In fact, it's no secret that the Sonosaki family sells memories. It doesn't matter if you tell anyone."

Be confident!

Sonosaki Ryubei, this old fox, exudes an air of dominance from the inside out, as if no one else can do it better than him.

Yes~

I do have some courage to become the master of all mankind.

Jon didn't want to talk too much about the issue.

Changing the subject, "I am definitely against the Sonozaki family. However, I am very curious about Gaia Memory. In fact, I have always wanted to try this power."

What is this called?

This is called a pledge of allegiance!

Words are not enough. I will turn myself into a doped body first, so that you can dispel your suspicion.

You know what, this method really works.

Sonosaki Ryubei's wariness instantly dissipated. He pushed up his sunglasses and said, "It's great that you have such a forward-looking vision. Survival of the fittest, the future will definitely belong to the "new humans."

It doesn’t matter whether humans are new or not, the main thing is that I want to get some benefits.

Jon twitched his lips.

Suddenly, a person came from a distance.

Like Sonosaki Ryubei, he had a slicked-back hair and wore a white robe.

Sonosaki Ryubei seemed to be familiar with the man and took the initiative to greet him, "Kato, you're here."

The young man called 'Jiatou' nodded expressionlessly.

Then, he stared at Jon and asked, "Who is he?"

"He is the person Saeko strongly recommended to be accepted into the family." Sonosaki Ryubei answered truthfully.

Jon saw it clearly. When this 'Jiatou' heard the word 'Saeko', his pupils involuntarily shrank.

Look at this situation

It's definitely a secret crush.

Jon's eyes were a little amused.

"How come I have never heard of the person Saeko recommended?" ''Jiatou'' still looked half-dead, and there was no emotion in his voice.

This is somewhat against the rules.

Sonosaki Ryubei asked back, "Why do you have to hear this? Don't forget, we are just partners.

"

After saying that, he took the initiative to reveal the identity of the young man in white, "He is Jia Toushun from the X Group."

X consortium?

First time hearing the name.

Jon silently memorized the key information.

Jia Toushun looked at Jon for a long time.

But in the end, he said nothing, just nodded slightly, and walked away.

Sonosaki Ryubei stared at his receding figure and smiled coldly.

From this performance, it is not difficult to see that although the Sonosaki family has some cooperation with the X Group, the relationship does not seem to be that close.

Moreover, the Sonosaki family is small in number. Apart from Sonosaki Ryubei himself, there is only Sonosaki Saeko left.

Oh, right.

And there is Princess Wakana who I saw today.

There are only three people in such a big family, no wonder Sonosaki Ryubei and Sonosaki Saeko are keen on finding a son-in-law.

First there was the gold medal salesman 'Sonozaki Kirihiko', then there was the all-purpose detective 'Jon Joestar'.

Unfortunately, the omnipotent detective's purpose is not simple.

Sonosaki Ryubei and John talked a lot and for a long time.

Jon countered every move without any flaws and finally managed to get through the day.
