stand-in creed

"Hahahaha!"

"By the way, Jotaro, after I have a child, will you come godfather?"

"I'm fine, although I'm not religious either."

"It's not a big problem, I don't believe in religion either."

"Yah ah ah..."

At this moment Abdel glanced at his watch.

"It's almost time, we should start."

Everyone swarmed outside.

And when Nero handed Xiao Xulun back to her mother and was about to leave together, Jotaro suddenly grabbed Nero and asked in a low voice.

"That thing, are you sure it's destroyed?"

"Don't worry, even the ashes from the burning are spilled into the Atlantic Ocean, no third person in this world will know."

"That's good."

What Jotaro and Nero said was found in the wreckage of the mansion that was crushed by the Power——

Dior's diary.

Nero himself burned the notebook and scattered the ashes into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving ashes to ashes.

Soon after.

Under the bells of St. John's Cathedral and the priest's "Amen", Kongjo Xulun completed her baptism ceremony and was declared the goddaughter of Nero Zeppelin.

This year, Nero is 19 years old.

Chapter 1 [-]

time flies.

At the end of March [-], Joestar's home in the United States.

After traveling around more than 120 countries around the world, leaving footprints in 740 cities, and successfully growing to "1.9 meters five", Nero came to Joestar's house in New York, USA after a long absence.Just as he was greeted by the housekeeper and walked into the courtyard door, before he had time to enter the house, there was a roar from the luxurious villa.

"Joseph Joestar—!!!"

Hearing the roar, the butler's hand that opened the door for Nero froze.

The butler, Rogers, is an elderly, muscular white male in a scrupulous suit who has worked for the Joestars for decades.At this moment, the butler who opened the door shivered subconsciously.

Nero didn't rush into the house when he heard this movement, so he started chatting with the housekeeper.

"What's the matter, Mister Rogers?"

"Actually……"

Rogers was organizing his words, thinking about how to say this matter.

However, at this moment, the hostess Siji Q, who was in a state of rage in the room, had already told the story first.

"How dare you look for a woman outside!

"Not only found another woman, but also gave birth to a child?!

"How dare you, how dare you..."

Nero probably did understand.

Nero, with black hair, just stood at the door with the butler, walking or entering the door, which seemed a little awkward.

"How is Mr. Joestar's health now?"

"Alzheimer's early stage. Mr. Jotaro should have told you that it was caused by a brain attack by a substitute messenger with a "lover" on the way to Egypt, causing sequelae. "

"Well, I heard Jotaro mention it. You don't have to worry too much. There are so many wonderful substitute messengers in this world. Even if the medicine of this era cannot overcome Alzheimer's disease, there must be some substitute ability that can solve this problem. Oh—by the way, how about Alessi?"

Although Nero hadn't seen Areci since leaving Cairo that year.

But I heard from Jotaro and the others that Arlesi, the stand-in messenger who can rejuvenate people, was really scared of being beaten. He has been working in the SPW consortium obediently for these years, and he is also very kind to people.

He said he was friendly, but in fact Arresi didn't dare to breathe aloud when he stood in front of adults, let alone turn adults into children rashly, because Platinum Star's fist was even more terrifying.

Rogers had a strange expression when he heard the name Aresi.

"Although Mr. Joestar is in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, he still knows some things. For example, every time Arreci is mentioned, he will suddenly start interrupting.

"I guess he wants to use the name of his own Alzheimer's to get over Miss Siji's anger period. After all, if he returns to his physical condition before he got sick... then he has to explain it carefully?"

"...Is he really Alzheimer's?"

"Really...probably."

Rogers muttered something in a low voice, and the corners of Nero's mouth twitched.

Immediately, Nero waved his hand and walked towards another villa in the distance.

"Since Ms. Siji is angry, I will come to visit later, and I will go to see my lovely goddaughter first."

"Bon voyage, Mr. Zeppelin."

"Ah."

Jotaro has returned to live in the United States since he went to college, and now his family, including his parents, live in this high-end villa area.

The butler of the house naturally recognized Nero as a frequent visitor, and respectfully welcomed Nero into the room, and then Nero saw Jotaro sitting on the sofa reading a paper.

"Yo, Jotaro."

"Here we come, Nero."

"So what's going on with my lovely goddaughter?"

"42 degrees high fever."

"Isn't that super bad?!"

Jotaro sighed: "The doctors of the SPW Foundation are watching...Although I really want to say that the doctors of the SPW Foundation are the most professional, but I still have to help you, the godfather. In addition, I have to ask you to accompany me during this time." Xu Lun, I have to go to Japan to deal with the old man's problem, yeah yeah yeah."

Nero waved his hand: "I'll talk about the Japanese affairs later, I'll go and see little Xu Lun first."

Jotaro nodded, "Alright."

Immediately, Nero walked towards Xu Lun's boudoir on the second floor.

Nurses from the SPW consortium were guarding the door of the boudoir, and the room next door was also cleared out to house a team of private doctors.Just like when Wang got the new crown in his previous life, the injections cost millions, the medical treatment that Xiao Xu Lun enjoys is definitely not bad.

After all, the private medical field is the main business of the SPW consortium after its transformation from an oil company half a century ago. As the great-granddaughter of the boss Joseph Joestar, it is reasonable to enjoy such medical treatment.

"...Please come in."

The nurse opened the door lightly.

Nero walked into the room and saw the doctor in the ward, Xu Lun on the bed, and Mrs. Kong Tiao beside the bed.

Nero recognized this doctor, and he and this doctor nodded to each other. It was this doctor who treated him in Suez back then—wait a minute, aren’t you from the trauma department?You know how to have a fever in internal medicine!

Mrs. Kong Tiao also whispered softly: "Nero, are you here?"

Nero also spoke in a low voice, pointing to little Xu Lun who was dazed on the bed: "How is the situation?"

"The fever hasn't subsided...Xu Lun, are you awake?"

Just as Mrs. Kongtiao opened her mouth, little Xu Lun, who was burning on the bed, seemed to hear the movement and opened his eyes.

Nero immediately sat on the other side of the hospital bed.

"Hey, Xu Lun."

"...Uncle Nero?"

"It's me." Nero gently stretched out his hand and scratched Xu Lun's nose, and at the same time a burst of golden ripples enveloped Xu Lun's body, "How do you feel, Xu Lun?"

"...Is it more comfortable?" Little Xu Lun blinked, "What is that sparkling thing? Magic?"

Not to mention that Xu Lun thought it was magic.

The SPW consortium, who had been monitoring Xu Lun's body temperature in the room, was the doctor watching Xu Lun's body temperature drop from 42 degrees to 38 degrees, and continued.If the doctor hadn't known about Ripple and the double, even he would have thought it was magic.

"Want to learn, Xu Lun?"

"miss you!"

"Then Xu Lun should recuperate obediently, take medicine obediently, listen to the doctor and mom and dad carefully, and how about uncle teaching you when you grow up?"

"Ok!"

Xiao Xu Lun nodded seriously.

Nero smiled and stretched out his index and middle fingers to pinch Xu Lun's nose: "Close your eyes and go to sleep—you should also rest for a while, seeing that you haven't closed your eyes for a long time, right? I'll accompany Xu Lun .”

"...then I'll trouble you."

Mrs. Kongtiao nodded, and felt relieved seeing the intimacy between Xiao Xulun and Nero, and decided to catch up on sleep.

But Mrs. Kongtiao had just left, when little Xu Lun, who pretended to be sleeping obediently, opened his eyes again.

"I want to hear Uncle Nero tell me stories!"

"What story do you want to hear?"

"Hmm...a story you haven't heard?"

"it is good."

Unknowingly, Mrs. Kujo left the room and handed over the space to the godfather and goddaughter.

The Goddess does not need a storybook to tell a story, the story comes as soon as she opens her mouth.

"Once upon a time there was a man who had many beautiful houses, and he had all kinds of gold and silver tableware, carved furniture, and gilded carriages. But unfortunately, this man had a blue beard..."

Are you sure this story is suitable for children aged six or seven?

The doctor who didn't say a word was thinking like this, and a few drops of uneasy sweat appeared on his head.

Chapter 2

Xu Lun finally fell asleep.

Seeing that Xu Lun's body temperature returned to 37 degrees on the thermometer, both the doctors of the SPW Foundation and Xu Lun's parents and godfather all breathed a sigh of relief.

Jotaro stood outside Xu Lun's room smoking a cigarette, while Nero quietly closed the door and came out.

"What were you trying to say just now?"

"I have to go to Japan to deal with the aftermath of the old man's affairs."

"Do you have to be in a hurry for a few days?"

Nero kept his voice down so as not to disturb Xu Lun's rest in the house.

Immediately Nero pointed to the door: "How about going after Xu Lun recovers from his illness? You don't want your daughter to recall when she grows up that when her fever reached 42 degrees, her father boarded the plane and left herself alone home, and then fall out with you?"

"...Aren't you here?"

"I am the godfather, you are the real father!"

The corner of Nero's mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but asked, "I said, Jotaro, think about how you were sick when you were young..."

Jotaro answered subconsciously.

"I've never been sick."

"...?"

Nero looked at Jotaro blankly.

Jotaro looked at Nero's puzzled eyes, and nodded solemnly.

"real."

"Just like you can smoke five cigarettes in one go and drink juice by the way?"

"Yes."

"You guy is the man of the pillar!"
