Chapter 70 Father and Son (Part 2)

The sea breeze was blowing, and the waves were gently rocking.

Josuke, with medical tape on his face, felt a bit uncomfortable and couldn't help but adjust his hairstyle.

Jotaro pressed his hat brim, "Josuke, there's no need to be nervous."

"I... I'm not nervous." Josuke denied decisively.

He paused, then changed his words, "I'm just wondering, why hasn't Brother Jon come yet."

A trace of worry flashed in Jotaro's eyes.

Of course, he wasn't worried about Jon.

But worried about the owner of that mysterious Stand...

'Whoo'!

Just as he was thinking.

A steamboat came from the distant sea.

On the hull, the logo of the 'SPW Foundation' was printed.

Josuke froze all at once, his heart beating faster and faster.

In no time, the steamboat docked.

The cabin door opened, and out came an old man with a large skeleton and a walking stick.

The old man was wearing a deep red woolen coat and a yellow spotted hat. On his nose, he also wore a pair of quite exquisite reading glasses.

"Thank you." Joseph thanked the surrounding crew in a muffled voice.

"This is what we should do, Mr. Joestar." The crew respected the old man and hurriedly returned the courtesy.

But Joseph's ears didn't seem to work very well, he kept asking, "Ah? What did you say? I can't hear."

Helplessly, the crew had to raise their voices, "This is what we should do! Mr. Joestar!"

"Hard change? You guys do modifications?"

The old man was stunned for a few seconds, showing a look of sudden realization.

Jotaro couldn't stand it anymore, he walked up the boarding ramp onto the ship.

He nodded to the 'SPW Foundation' crew, "Leave the rest to me."

"Jotaro." The old man recognized his grandson, "You know, these people seem to do modifications, I remember, you seem to have a motorcycle..."

"Yare yare." Jotaro supported Joseph, who was mumbling, "This is not a place to chat, let's get off the ship first."

"Oh, okay." Joseph nodded blankly.

Staring at the old figure, Josuke's mood was extremely complicated.

"Is this my father?"

He had imagined many scenes of meeting his father.

But not including this one.

"Old man, this is Higashikata Josuke..." Jotaro helped Joseph off the ship and whispered, "Your son."

"Josuke."

Joseph reached out his hand, wanting to touch Josuke's face.

Unexpectedly, Josuke instinctively stepped back.

A vague sense of loss flashed in Joseph's murky eyes.

Josuke reacted and waved his hands, "No... I..."

He couldn't finish his sentence halfway through.

Jotaro looked at Josuke, who was silent, and then at Joseph, whose eyes were red, and pressed his hat brim with a headache.

All three of them were silent, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

At this moment, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.

"Hello, did you miss me?"

Josuke and Jotaro's eyes lit up.

Joseph looked around blankly, "Who, who is talking!"

"It's me, Dad."

Jon stepped out of the 'inner world', with a relaxed smile on his face.

As if deliberately playing a prank, he suddenly jumped to Joseph's side and hooked the old man's shoulder without any hesitation.

"Brother Jon!"

Josuke found his backbone and looked at Jon with eager eyes.

Jotaro breathed a sigh of relief, "Yare yare."

"Who is this young man?" Joseph looked puzzled.

Jon smiled without saying a word, and quietly passed some life Ripple.

Joseph suddenly widened his eyes, "Ce... Caesar!"

Good guy, he was inexplicably shocked.

Jon shook his head, "Joseph Dad, I'm not Caesar, my name is Jon, Jon Joestar."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jotaro added, "Old man, he is the one I told you about on the phone, a Joestar from another world."

"Oh! I remember, it seems there was such a thing."

Nourished by the life Ripple, Joseph's mind seemed to clear up a bit.

He looked at Jon, as if seeing himself fifty years ago, and murmured, "Like, really like..."

"Alright, alright, no need to keep emphasizing."

Jon tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "You must be tired from crossing the ocean by boat, sir. Let's go, we'll take you to eat."

As he spoke, he winked at Josuke, "Josuke, what are you still dazed about, hurry up and lend a hand."

"I... I got it."

Josuke scratched the back of his head, like a little girl, and awkwardly helped his father.

He blushed and deliberately turned his head to the other side.

"Let's get one thing straight, I haven't forgiven you."

Jon laughed.

How come I didn't notice before that you, a thick-browed and big-eyed guy, also have a tsundere attribute?

With Jon acting as the 'lubricant' for the father-son relationship, Josuke and Joseph got along quite well.

The four of them got into a rented car.

Jotaro drove, Jon sat in the passenger seat.

As for Josuke and Joseph, they were arranged in the back seat.

"I haven't asked you yet, that mysterious Stand that attacked Josuke..." Jotaro started talking while driving.

"That guy won't cause trouble again." Jon answered with absolute certainty.

Hearing this, Jotaro almost stomped on the brake.

Jon had three black lines on his forehead, "Jotaro, in your heart, how dangerous am I?"

Jotaro was silent.

Jon said annoyedly, "I just implanted the thought imprint of not using the Stand for evil in his subconscious, other than that, I didn't do anything!"

Jotaro held the steering wheel and said solemnly, "Being able to enter someone else's subconscious and implant ideas is a very dangerous ability in itself."

Jon pursed his lips, unable to refute.

Not knowing what he thought of, suddenly, he hooked up a smirk, "Dear nephew, have you been particularly fascinated by dolphins recently?"

Could it be!

Jotaro suddenly looked at Jon in the passenger seat.

Jon spread his hands, "Don't be so nervous, I'm just joking."

A joke...

Jotaro was a bit unsure, and quietly communicated with 'Star Platinum' in his heart, asking, "That guy didn't do anything strange to me while I was sleeping, did he?"

Star Platinum: ┐(￣ー￣)┌

"I see."

Jotaro was relieved.

But on second thought, he has indeed been liking dolphins more and more recently.

Star Platinum: Σ(゜ロ゜;)

Sensing Jotaro's emotional change, Jon laughed like a peony in his heart.

"I may not be human, but you are really a dog." The familiar sarcastic voice echoed in his mind again.

Jon's eyes narrowed, and he transmitted, "Shut Up!"

Seeing Jon suddenly change his face, Jotaro thought something was wrong, and repeatedly confirmed with 'Star Platinum'.

"That guy really didn't do anything strange to me while I was sleeping, right?"

Star Platinum: ...
