Zeppeli embarked on a journey to find a way to deal with vampires and search for the whereabouts of the Stone Mask, where he encountered Ripple and Jonathan.
In reality, although Dio was destroyed by Izayoi Sakuya and the Stone Mask was destroyed by Yang Xiying, Zeppeli still came to England.
He also came into contact with Jonathan and taught him Ripple, even though he had heard that Stone Mask and the vampire he had turned into had been dealt with.
However, seeing Jonathan's potential and martial arts foundation, Yang Xiying couldn't help but admire his talent. It was through Jonathan that she got to know him.
He was also willing to befriend him, after all, he was a warrior who knew he would die on the path of fighting vampires and finding the Stone Mask, yet he still went on.
Having already qualified to comprehend the Heavenly Book, it's quite fitting to let someone like that act as a chivalrous hero under the name of Gensokyo.
But one cannot accept something for nothing. In order to make him feel at ease, Yang Xiying made a deal with him, asking him to help search for information about a certain kind of stone.
However, before he could receive any news, his companions returned to Gensokyo, and now he sees Jonathan's telegram saying someone wants to see him...
"In that case, I'll go see my old friends," Yang Xiying said, preparing to leave before glancing at the girls around her.
"Young Miss, Fran, Alice, because I'm going to meet a human next, I'll be acting alone for a while."
Because there are new members, Yang Xiying also needs to explain some precautions, such as the current actions.
He was going to meet with Zeppelin Jonathan, both of whom were human, and they might bring more humans with them.
Therefore, it is inconvenient for the eldest and second young ladies to appear on camera. At least they should wait until he has finished making clothes that will allow them to blend into the crowd, such as covering their wings.
Although Alice and Sakuya are no different from humans, he can handle negotiations with people all by himself.
"If you're curious, you can watch from the side through Zi-jie's gap," Zi said, because the gap allows her to basically stay out of sight in the other world.
“It’s daytime now, and it’s not suitable for Fran and me to go out,” Remilia said slowly. She wouldn’t be going with us at this time.
—After all, this is my first time in another world, so let's familiarize ourselves with the surroundings first.
"Big brother, if you encounter any trouble, you can ask Fran for help."
Flandre wouldn't mind this arrangement, since her older brother had his own things to do and only needed to play with her in his free time.
—Yesterday I talked to myself about the comics she was reading.
“Let me see what you’re going to do in this other world, Yang,” Alice said.
Upon arriving in this new world, Alice understood the importance of familiarizing herself with her surroundings, so she would stay put and wait for orders.
"Alice, you're about to see something really interesting," Yukari Yakumo suddenly said with a playful expression.
"An interesting scene?" Alice wondered, and then she watched as Yang Xiying moved through the gap to another place.
This ancient Western European room is not actually a real house, but a painted world created by Yukari Yakumo using her boundary power.
—They are inside a painting in a room, quite discreetly.
"You are... Mr. Yang Xiying?"
Yang Xiying landed in the courtyard of Joestar's mansion through a gap, and was recognized by the servants inside.
"It's me. Is Jonathan home?"
"Of course, young master has been worried about not being able to contact you lately," the servant replied directly, leading Yang Xiying inside.
"Mr. Yang! You seem even more impressive than before!" "Last time I saw young people, I was amazed by their abilities, and you are even more so now."
After the servant brought Yang Xiying to the living room, Jonathan noticed her, as did the middle-aged man in a white suit and hat.
—This is Zeppeli.
“A lot has happened during this time, Jonathan, you’ve grown a lot too, and Uncle Zeppelin looks very energetic.”
Yang Xiying exchanged pleasantries with him, and at the same time noticed that there were three other people from out of town in the living room. They were Qi Beilin's master and fellow apprentices.
The next step is obvious.
He took the gift box out of his pocket.

"I didn't really notice it on ordinary days, but now that I'm watching from the sidelines, Yang Xiying seems so glib and smooth-talking?"
Yang Xiying had already started chatting with the people inside Joestar's house, while Remilia, who was watching all this from a distance, had a strange expression on her face.
Because Yang Xiying's conversations with these people went very smoothly, especially with the three out-of-towners she was meeting for the first time.
This guy immediately saw through the group's preferences and pulled out a gift, which was indeed a gesture of goodwill.
However, without a good explanation, it can feel a bit abrupt, but Yang Xiying was able to do that, and thus the two parties were brought closer together.
Then came a martial arts contest, which earned the three men even more respect and fear, making their serious discussions go more smoothly.
Remilia found this rather odd. She hadn't noticed before; was this guy really that eloquent?!
"Haha, what are you saying, sister? Big brother has always been like this, hasn't he?" Flandre didn't think there was anything wrong with it at all.
“…As expected of Yang,” Alice murmured to herself. She particularly admired Yang Xiying’s ability to communicate with others.
After all, she is not particularly good at communicating with others, so she easily offends others through her words and doesn't make many friends.
The only way to make changes now is by performing puppet shows in front of the public, but the effect is still not very good.
"That's why Brother Yang has gathered so many believers, and just as Little Fran said."
"—Isn't Yang the type who usually says one thing to one person and another to another?"
“Heh…” Remilia snorted softly, then continued to eavesdrop on Yang Xiying’s conversation with Jonathan and the others through the gap.
They are making a deal now, and Yang Xiying has just obtained a red stone from those outsiders.
"Aizhe Redstone, is this the item you mentioned that enhances the Stone Mask's effects?"
After Yang Xiying finished talking with those people and returned to the front-line base living room in Gensokyo, Remilia asked a question, but more to confirm.
Having overheard Yang Xiying's conversation, she had learned some things; the stone this person had obtained was no ordinary object.
—This is the item that the Pillar Men intend to use to enhance the Stone Mask.
"Yes, but this is not the most perfect Aja Red Stone. Even if it is embedded in the Stone Mask, it will not be able to turn the Pillar Men into Ultimate Life Forms."
“However, the sincerity they showed by entrusting me with this task and the deposit are enough,” Yang Xiying replied directly.
The deal wasn't over yet, because those people treasured the Aja Redstone, something they had guarded for generations, and wouldn't give it up easily.
Even if Yang Xiying were willing to impart the knowledge from the Heavenly Book to these people, it would be the same, although the thing was quite tempting to them.
After all, they are martial artists, and there are even more powerful methods of immortality above them than the Ripple Qi Gong they cultivate.
But after weighing the options, those people still felt it wouldn't work, because the Aja Redstone was something that couldn't be exchanged for treasures.
—After all, those who have guarded this thing for generations know the effects of Aja Redstone.
Therefore, whether this thing falls into the hands of a Pillar Man or a person with evil intentions, it will bring disaster to the world.
Although they got along well with Yang Xiying and felt that she was not a bad person, they were just afraid of the worst-case scenario.
They couldn't guarantee that Yang Xiying wouldn't join forces with the Pillar Men or transform himself into an Ultimate Being after obtaining the Red Stone of Aja.
Unless Yang Xiying can do something for them to prove herself, all the redstones can be sent over after the matter is accomplished.
Therefore, the current redstone is only a deposit given to ensure the authenticity of the transaction.
"That's true. After all, you're just collecting these things to increase the quantity, not to become the ultimate life form."
When Remilia first heard Yang Xiying want to trade with those people for Aja Redstone, she assumed he wanted to become the ultimate life form.
Well, because Remilia had heard that the ultimate life form possessed incredible power, she thought Yang Xiying would be interested in it.
If this person's retrieval of Aja's Red Stone was truly only to prevent the Pillar Men from becoming Ultimate Lifeforms, then that doesn't quite make sense.
After all, the best way to stop it would be to destroy the Aja Redstone, but Yang Xiying did not do that; she simply wanted to collect more Aja Redstone.
Whether it can amplify the Stone Mask's abilities is not important, but it still makes those people worried...
"Because I still want to confirm the extent to which humanity can achieve through its own cultivation, it is too early to talk about changing the race."
Yang Xiying responded that he has not yet fully grasped the limits of humanity, so he will not change his race.
Moreover, he himself resisted this, because he did not believe that the upper limit of an ultimate life form could be higher than his current self as a human.
Moreover, it's quite difficult for humans to become that kind of thing; after all, the Pillar Men who designed the Stone Masks conducted numerous human experiments without success.
Ultimately, living in Gensokyo, he wanted to live as a human to preserve the local biodiversity.
“So, instead of doing that kind of thing, it’s better to use it as material to make weapons and armor,” Yang Xiying changed the subject.
Now his forging skills are improving, and he can create more amazing tools, like the scarf he used to keep warm last time.
Now, using Aja Redstone as a building material, one can create even more amazing things. Seeing the properties of Aja Redstone gave him inspiration.
This thing can amplify sunlight into laser light because Aja redstone allows light to reflect hundreds of millions of times within it and then radiate from a single point.
In the original JOJO manga, Ripple is similar to light, and in reality, Ripple is not much different from his internal energy.
Therefore, Aizhe Redstone can be used as an amplifier for internal strength and energy. Just a little bit can amplify one's own energy several times over!
Using this as material, then...
"Really? How long do you plan to take to complete their request? I might be willing to lend a hand next."
Remilia spoke again, having overheard the group's request earlier—to annihilate the Pillar Men.
Although Yang Xiying took the initiative to make this request, since the initial request was simply to share information about the Pillar Men.
But Yang Xiying wanted to be more flamboyant and directly eliminate the Pillar Men, which was also a way for him to show his sincerity.
—So Remilia never considered the possibility that Yang Xiying would join forces with the Pillar Men.
Regardless, Remilia was quite eager to fight these guys, since she had heard that they fed on vampires.
Although the vampires in this world are not the same as hers, and she is not a pure vampire herself, they are all called vampires.
If I don't take action, the dignity of vampires will truly be trampled underfoot by something like the Pillar Men.
"Fran, Fran wants to help too," Flandre had also heard the previous conversation, so she guessed what Yang Xiying was going to do next.
—For this reason, Flandre also wanted to join in the fun, and besides, fighting is so much fun.
“Strike while the iron is hot. I can eliminate the Pillar Men at any time,” Yang Xiying replied. “We have found four Pillar Men so far.”
"They split into two groups, one in Mexico and three in Rome, so we'll start by dealing with the smaller group."
Last month they found the place where the Pillar Men were sleeping, and they could reach their destination instantly by going through the Yakumo Shiki Gap.
"Let's use it to test the characteristics of the Pillar Men race, well, because of the characteristics of you, young ladies."
"Let's do it tonight."
Both the eldest and second young ladies are nocturnal creatures. Although the Pillar Men are also nocturnal, their strength is far inferior to that of the two sisters.
"Let's rest at the front-line base during the day," and that's how our first team-building activity since returning to the JOJO world was decided.
night.
Yang Xiying and her group went directly to a cave in a ruin in Mexico, which was the place where one of the Pillar Men was sleeping.
"Is this how the Pillar Men... sleep?"
Looking at the pillar in front of her, which resembled the roots of an old tree, Alice couldn't help but speak. It was covered with a large number of stone masks and a stone statue.
Alice could sense the life force emanating from the statue, though it was very faint, it was enough to prove that it was alive.
—Then, based on the fact that this guy is hanging on the pillar, it wouldn't be wrong to call him the Pillar Man.
“Yes, they have remained in a state of slumber for thousands of years,” Yang Xiying replied directly.
"And this is also a good opportunity for us, since he has no ability to resist right now."
Facing the Pillar Man, Yang Xiying had no intention of practicing martial ethics and waiting for him to wake up before attacking. She would instead deliver a severe blow to him first!
If the opponent can survive this attack, he wouldn't mind sparring. Yang Xiying charged forward with a powerful kick!
"Typhoon Chop Chop—!!!" In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the pillar and hurled a series of chop chop chops at it!
Swish, swish, swish——!!!
