Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

If Joseph hadn't told him, he would never have been able to imagine that these arrows could unleash such incredible power in a Stand.

“Mr. Speedwagon, let’s leave here first. This ruin is no longer safe.”

The person behind Speedwagon reminded him.

He noticed as soon as he entered that many of the walls had serious cracks.

If left unchecked, it will naturally collapse in a few years at most.

After their arrival, even the slightest violent action could have serious consequences.

"I see."

Nodding, Speedwagon readily agreed.

He had no intention of staying or lingering.

His goal was these few arrows, and now that he had them, there was no point in lingering here.

If you want to appreciate it, you can take your time to enjoy it when you get back.

Soon, the SPW Foundation withdrew from the ruins.

Standing at the entrance to the ruins, Speedwagon couldn't help but marvel at how smoothly the operation had gone.

In fact, they also discovered quite a few mechanisms in the ruins.

However, as time went by, most of these mechanisms lost their original power.

It poses no threat whatsoever to a well-armed squad.

Before long, news of the arrow's discovery reached Joseph.

“Found it?!”

Joseph, who was still sleeping in, jumped out of bed.

It woke up Siji Q who was next to me.

"What's wrong, JOJO?"

Rubbing her eyes, Siji Q said with some dissatisfaction.

She was sleeping soundly.

"The arrow seems to have been found."

Joseph, hurriedly putting on his clothes, said without turning his head.

After hearing Joseph's words, Sigi Q understood Joseph's reaction and simply got up with him.

When the door opened, Lisa Lisa, with a teasing smile on her face, was standing in the doorway.

"I said, you two..."

"Let's put that aside for now, where is Luo Zhen?"

Joseph said somewhat excitedly.

You can't blame him; he's been waiting for this day for far too long.

Although the SPW Foundation kept both arrows in the future, neither of them had the ability to activate Requiem.

These two arrows are the one in Dio's hand and the one in Nijimura Yukinoji's hand.

Joseph actually had a question when he received the arrow from Dio.

Why didn't Dio use this arrow to mass-produce Stand users?

In this way, they wouldn't encounter just one Nine Glory God on their way to Egypt.

He believed in all ninety of the gods.

Given his personality, he probably wouldn't care how many people die, right?

Ultimately, it can only be attributed to his disdain for doing so.

"I'm here."

Luo Zhen stepped out from behind Lisa Lisa and said.

He also took a rare break during this period.

I stopped thinking about any unusual creatures and the mission.

It was a long-awaited moment of relaxation for him.

"Let's go."

Seeing Joseph's excitement, Rōjin immediately raised his hand and summoned a dimensional barrier.

Clenching his fist, Joseph strode inside.

Chapter 252 A Requiem to Make Up for Regrets

After crossing the dimensional barrier, Joseph arrived at the SPW Foundation's laboratory.

Six arrows were placed in the most conspicuous spot in the laboratory.

"Wait for me, JOJO!"

Sigi Q, who had been running all the way, crossed the dimensional barrier and arrived in the laboratory.

Although she was neither a Stand user nor a Ripple warrior, she still came.

Because Joseph is here.

She had heard about his ideas from Joseph before.

How could she possibly feel at ease in this situation?

"JOJO, aren't you in a bit of a hurry?"

Then, Luo Zhen and Lisa Lisa also stepped out of the dimensional barrier.

The dimensional barrier remained intact even after the two appeared.

Before Joseph could ask any questions, Caesar followed him into the laboratory.

Are you surprised to see me?

Seeing Joseph's surprise, Caesar gave a slightly wicked smile.

Before leaving, he asked Rozen to call him if Joseph needed to use an arrow.

Although he knew there was nothing he could do, Joseph was, after all, his friend.

"No, not at all. After all, I know you very well, Caesar-chan~"

Joseph deliberately dragged out the last syllable of his words.

A vein suddenly popped out on Caesar's forehead.

The two continued to tease and banter with each other as always.

Joseph's initial tension eased considerably.

After a few jokes, Joseph turned his attention to the arrows.

Is this the one?

As he picked up the arrow with the worm-shaped decoration on its tip, Joseph's gaze hardened.

Although he never actually saw the arrow.

However, in the future, after Giorno becomes the boss of Passion, he contacts Jotaro Kujo of the SPW Group at Polnareff's request.

Upon learning the news, Jotaro rushed to Italy overnight and met Polnareff, who had turned into a turtle.

After catching up, Jotaro learned about the existence of the Insect Arrow.

However, he did not ask for it back and left the insect arrow in Italy.

Then Polunarev was sent to his hometown.

This was his wish; he had been trapped in Italy for far too long.

"Whoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Joseph began to recall various scenarios of the future.

Scenes of his friend's death kept playing in his mind.

His tightly clenched hands almost crushed the wooden shaft of the arrow.

"Respond to my expectations!"

Joseph raised the insect arrow high and plunged it into the Hermit's Purple in his forearm.

In that instant, he felt a strange power enter his body.

The Hermit's Purple, which had originally resembled thorns, began to writhe wildly.

The rampant thorns quickly coalesced into a giant 'cocoon' in mid-air.

Something seems to be growing inside.

"Woo——"

Almost simultaneously, Joseph broke out in a cold sweat.

If you want to carry the Requiem, you can't do it without a strong will.

"JOJO!"

"Caesar called out with some concern."

All he could do for now was pray for Joseph.

"Come forth! Hermit's Purple - Requiem!"

Joseph suddenly opened his eyes and shouted.

The large purple cocoon behind him exploded.

A humanoid figure, entirely purple, appeared behind Joseph.

Unlike Star Platinum, who exudes power at first glance, Joseph's Stand appears more delicate.

When it floats quietly in the air, it gives people the feeling of a contemplative sage.

"Is this my requiem?"

Turning around, Joseph looked at the Hermit's Purple Requiem behind him with some shock.

Of everyone present, only Joseph and Rojin could see the Stand.

Therefore, Caesar and his companions were unaware of what changes had occurred.

"Did you make it?"

"I'm so nervous," Siji asked.

To be honest, she didn't care much about people she had never met.

This is also very normal.

Just like you can't judge a person's character based on only one side of the story.

It's impossible to develop a liking for someone just because of a few words from others.

"Of course it was a success."

Joseph smiled.

Although the power of the Hermit's Purple Requiem surprised him somewhat, it was still within an acceptable range.

"Next is..."

Taking a deep breath, Joseph began to fully activate the power of the Hermit's Purple Requiem.

His life was filled with far too many regrets.

And these regrets always seem to have just missed the point where they would have happened.

Actually, it's not difficult to make up for regrets.
