I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

While the two were not paying attention, Aresi rolled and crawled into the alley behind him.

In short, just pretend nothing happened. The old man seemed to have seen the conditions for triggering his Stand. His Stand power would be destroyed once Jotaro got close to him.

-

"Sure enough, it should have been on Kakyoin's head."

On a tall building somewhere, Dio, flying back, crumpled up the necrotic granulation tissue that had been removed by Diablo, feeling confused.

The pink-haired man who successfully injured him once was not in the same group as Joestar and his crew. It seemed that those guys used some means to graft the flesh buds on Kakyoin's head onto the pink-haired man's head.

Judging from the language, the pink-haired girl should be Italian.

Dio stood at the edge of the roof, propping up his face and gazing down at Polnareff, who was being toyed with by the Hanged Man, level with Kakyoin.

"Is that the case with Polnareff as well?"

So the question is, on whose head was the bud tissue on Polnareff's head implanted?

Having been implanted with this kind of mind-altering bud, and without receiving any specific orders, they should have instinctively approached him at the first moment. It is true that it is instinctive, but this does not prevent normal people from engaging in social behaviors such as "buying a ticket and taking a plane."

Chapter 17 Dio's Helper.

At the gate of Dio's mansion, there should have been a fearsome guardian deity. Petsha, that was its name.

Yes, 'it'.

One of the few non-human Stand users under Dio, it is a falcon. As a bird of prey, it has the ability to hunt small mammals. In addition, as an animal like Iggy, it naturally has the same simple and crude abilities.

[God Horus] has the ability to create and control ice. The icicles it creates can even penetrate cars directly. Even if Ichi, who is also an animal, is here, he may not be able to defeat it head-on.

"Yimi! Mr. Joestar!"

Abdel, who was accidentally left behind by them, rushed to the fourth floor with his head held high. It was not because he was afraid that he could not catch up with Yimi, but simply because he was delayed for a while.

He blew on the roasted bird meat in his hand. Although it was roasted on the spot without even removing the internal organs and without any oil, the surface was still a bit stimulating to his taste buds as he had not eaten anything since he had gotten up at night.

Abdel didn't know what was going on. Just when Yimi followed him disobediently, the bird suddenly flew out and stopped him. It also showed its amazing ability to create icicles at him while breathing fire.

This was the first time Abdel had regained his confidence since he was scared by Dio, even though his opponent was not even a human.

"Did he jump from here? Could it be that he ran into Dio?"

Abdel lowered his head and looked at his feet.

Even though the hero's shattered pieces were scattered all over the floor, that shrunken appearance was most likely caused by Dio, the vampire. Judging by the situation, Dio probably chased them out. Otherwise, it couldn't be that Mr. Joestar and the others suddenly forgot about him and went after Dio directly, right?

Abdel leaned over the half-open window and looked down. Through the street light, he could vaguely see a passerby walking below.

They were about 2:30 in the morning when they set out from the hotel, so they might be enemies.

Without wasting any time, Abdel jumped down and controlled his stand to grab the window sill as a buffer. At the slight cost of having his hands scratched, he jumped directly in front of the passerby.

This is not the kind of attire you should wear in Egypt.

He didn't remove his Stand, but stared warily at the young man in front of him: "What on earth did Dio give you to make you work for him?"

"The only one I'm loyal to is the Lord. Friend, are you drunk? How did you fall from the building? Do you need my help?"

The white-haired man asked with concern, looking around as if he was looking for a phone booth where he could call the police.

Are you overly suspicious?

Abdel, who failed in his first attempt, controlled his stand and punched out, but stopped in front of the opponent's face.

The other party did not make any move to evade. A closer look revealed that the clothes he was wearing seemed to be those worn by clergymen, or rather, the attire of places like clergy academies.

"No, the night is not so peaceful, you should be more careful yourself. By the way, did you see a few people suddenly jump out of the fourth-floor window of this house?"

"Oh my God, you have to be kidding. People who fall from the fourth floor will definitely not have an easy time."

The answer was flawless and Abdel could not find any flaws at all.

"Don't go near this house. I heard there's a murderer hiding in it."

He reluctantly ran towards the place Kakyoin had agreed upon. Possessing the spirit of gold, they certainly wouldn't embarrass an ordinary passerby.

After he left, the boy rubbed his eyes and stared at his back solemnly. He had a hunch that this address should belong to that man.

He gently touched the papilla on his forehead: "Although I don't understand what happened, I always feel that person needs me."

Unlike the others, he was not directly controlled by the granulation for unknown reasons. His intuition told him to come to this place to help the man who cured his congenital defect in his feet and got along well with him.

-

It seems like they lost her. I don’t mean they lost Dio, but Joseph and Jotaro lost her.

Yimi wagged his tail and looked behind him. He was so focused that he didn't notice that the person behind him had stopped following him.

Yes, it was not convenient for her to climb up and down when she was still in human form. Humans are really fragile creatures. But the cat has almost found the approximate location of the owner of the coffin.

Yimi wagged her tail, but what caught her eye was not Dio, but Kakyoin and Polnareff, who had just been treated like monkeys by Dio.

"Finally... Shirley, did you see that?"

Polnareff sat on the ground, looking at the man not far away who was pierced by him like a sieve and impaled on the railing. He was already doomed to death, but was still moaning and unable to get rid of it.

If it were any other opponent, he would be willing to respect them, even if they had hurt him, but for this guy who dared to insult and kill his sister, he was willing to temporarily put aside the chivalry he had long upheld in his heart.

They didn't find Ichi, it was just that the other party attacked them.

Knowing the appearance, even if the opponent has the ability to make a stand move continuously with the help of reflective objects, they can find the real body and kill it in the first time. The extremely angry Polnareff even intercepted the light at that moment.

Kakyoin didn't say anything to comfort him, but just patted his shoulder.

Polnareff wiped his face with his arm to wipe away the tears: "Hey, don't say anything when you get home."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"You actually asked what it meant..."

"What are you doing?"

Cats stand on tiptoe without making any sound, and then suddenly scare the other person with a clear childish voice!

The effect was so good that Polnareff almost stabbed it with his sword.

"Ah, are you following me too? No, don't look at this thing!"

Polnareff quickly covered Imi's eyes, and controlled the Silver Chariot to mercifully kill the Hanged Man and reunite this scumbag with his mother.

"Shouldn't you be with Jotaro and the others? Never mind, let's just meet up at the agreed place."

Kakyoin held Yimi's hand.

Polnareff opened his mouth to say something, then closed it again and uttered a simple nasal sound in response.

After all, she had helped him kill his enemy, so saying, "Now that he's done with us, let's part ways" was too heartless. Even if they were only together for two days, he wouldn't let this innocent girl be put in danger in front of him.

"That's the girl."

Dio narrowed his eyes from his high position. "Observing closely gives me a peculiar feeling. What do you think?"

A man stepped out from the shadows: "I will help you solve all obstacles, Master Dio."

"At least when it comes to loyalty, there's no one else I trust more than Vanilla."

Dio crossed his arms and showed no intention of attacking even though the target was right in front of him.

"Go."

At his command, the man in front of him summoned a terrifying stand. Although it looked like an anthropomorphic stand, it swallowed the entire lower body directly into its mouth like an Ouroboros.

It opened its mouth wide and swallowed Vanilla, the main body, into its stomach, and then swallowed the rest of the body including the arms and disappeared.

At the same time, a perfectly circular hole appeared in the wall of the top floor where Dio was.

"Really."

Dio walked down the stairs again to greet the next guest. "I didn't expect that the person who planted the buds would be you. I'm sorry, but it was a bit disrespectful to control you with the buds."

He appeared in front of the young man and reached out to help him remove the granulation tissue on his forehead.

"Pucci."

Chapter 18: Sub-air miasma.

Dio's scent was cut off, and the final direction was still the situation that Yimi hated the most.

heaven.

Dio flew away, but Imi couldn't fly. Also, it was difficult to leave a scent for continuous tracking without touching anything in mid-air.

"three people."

There was the scent of two other people besides himself around him, one of whom was taken away by him, and the other one who had disconnected in this room by himself.

"He ran away? What a pity."

Kakyoin walked over and gently picked up Yimi, holding her in his arms. He looked at the round hole in the wall and said, "I have a bad feeling. Is Polnareff still not well?"

The first target is right here. Dio can't go far, but since he didn't go to meet them, he should have left behind a subordinate he trusts.

"Let me see... Tsk, I remember in the movies all you had to do was match up a certain circuit. What a hassle!"

Outside, Polnareff stood next to a car, summoned a silver chariot, and inserted a sword into the keyhole of the car, trying to force start this old model produced in 1980. He actually succeeded in starting it by bluffing.

He consciously sat in the passenger seat and waved to Kakyoin: "Please."

"What do you expect from a 17-year-old high school student?"

Kakyoin opened the back door and got in, selectively ignoring the fact that the knight was actually trying to steal the car.

"What? You're five years younger than me? Even if you say that, the only thing I'm proficient in is motorcycles."

"It's clearly hinting at a stand-in for the chariot."

Kakyoin looked around uncomfortably. "What should we do next? Should we confront Dio? We were less than two hundred meters away from him just now, and he actually watched us kill his subordinates without doing anything?"

"Of course, the priority is to reunite with Jotaro. Listen, this isn't a question of running away. At least right now, our top priority is to protect this child."

Polnareff made his decision.

He moved his butt to the driver's seat and studied the handle in his hand: "Speaking of which, what is this handle used to adjust?"

……

Then the situation became more dangerous.

"Meow meow, meow meow meow."

In cat form, Yimi was sniffing the location of Jotaro and the others while steering.

"Come on, Yimi, overtake that arrogant car in front!"

Polnareff, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked unhappily at the rich man's car driving on the night road in front of him.

When they left, they were not attacked by Vanilla, perhaps because this guy would become blind after using his ability, or perhaps because the car was running too fast for him to catch up.

Kakyoin clutched the handlebars tightly from behind, sweat pouring down his face. "Can you even brake in this situation? Mr. Joestar's teaching methods are even more daring than I thought. Jotaro, that guy, probably knows how to drive, too."

Polnareff looked forward. "Is the window of the car in front open?"

Kakyoin leaned forward cautiously, his eyes widening slightly as he said, "He actually gave us a thumbs-down sign! Yimi, pass him."

"Meow!"

Yimi Cat Claw performed several moves that Kakyoin couldn't understand.

Then, with her superb driving skills, the two cars quickly became parallel. The driver in front saw through Yimi's open window that two men were gesturing to themselves with their hands, while the one driving was a cat.

"(Arabic shock)!"

The entire car's trajectory spun slightly, and it quickly drove to the side of the intersection, no longer daring to drive parallel to them.

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the achievement [Reasons for the Short Average Lifespan of Men], rewarded with 5% portal energy."

"Meow? (*^_^*)"

"Hahaha!"
