hero?it must be me

"Humph……"

Jotaro didn't answer, but the smile on his mouth was the best answer.

"My words... I'm going back to France."

Polnaluf's words made the atmosphere sink a little bit.

"Are you going back to France anyway, Polnaruff?"

Er Qiao asked: "You don't have any acquaintances over there, do you? Why don't you go to New York with me and Abdel?"

"Even so, it's still my homeland."

Polunaruff said with a smile: "My hometown carries my memories. No matter where I go in my life, I will return there in the end."

"Of course! If anything happens again, just contact me! I will rush over immediately!"

"..."

Looking at Polunaruff, Er Qiao was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted his shoulder.

"By the way, how about the two of you?"

Polunaruff changed the subject somewhat abruptly.

He looked at Horthos and Anubis.

"Of course we are following Master Zheng Qi!"

Holmes said naturally.

"I have already decided to follow Master Zheng Qi."

Anubis also responded seriously.

"So, where's Iggy? You're going back to New York, too?"

Polunaruff looked at Izzy.

Izzy shook his ears, looked lazy, and said nothing.

"Your character is really unpleasant! It's about this time!"

Polunaruff looked at Izzy helplessly.

Immediately, he turned his head and looked at Zheng Qi, who was sitting a little further away from everyone, always looking this way, with a serious and peaceful expression.

"Zheng Qi, what about you?"

For a moment, everyone's eyes turned to Zheng Qi who was sitting there.

"...I'm not in a hurry, Joestar-san, Jotaro, this."

Zheng Qi did not directly answer the question.

He just took out a thick notebook from the magic book space, walked over and handed it to Er Qiao.

"this is?"

"Gift."

"Gift?"

Er Qiao opened it, and there were densely written in English and Japanese on the pages inside. After reading the first two lines, Er Qiao's expression was still a bit puzzled, but as he turned the page, Er Qiao's expression suddenly changed.

became more and more serious.

Jotaro on the side also looked over.

His expression, like Er Qiao's, began to change.

"...Zheng Qi, are these all?"

"Well, you can take it as the result of my prophetic dream."

Zheng Qi nodded: "In the future, it will definitely become a useful reference."

"...I understand. Even though I have said it more than once, I still have to say it."

After closing the notebook, Er Qiao patted Zheng Qi's shoulder with both hands.

"Thank you, Zheng Qi!"

Zheng Qi said nothing, just nodded with a smile.

"Then, regarding my future plans, first of all I want to say sorry, Horus, Anubis, I can't let you follow me."

"Why, why?! Is there something we can't do well, Mr. Zheng Qi!"

Anubis shouted in panic as if struck by lightning.

On the contrary, Holmes seemed to have noticed something, pressed his cowboy hat, and said with a somewhat melancholy expression: "I can't help it... It's not that I don't want to, but I can't help it, sir."

"Well, no way."

Zheng Qi replied calmly, "Because I'm going home soon."

Going home, why can't the two of them follow?

Anubis couldn't figure out this question.

But before it could speak, it was stopped by Hoerhaus.

"So...then Master Joestar, do you lack people there?"

Looking at Er Qiao with a hippie smile, Holmes gestured: "It's hard to find a cheap and practical combination like ours!"

"Hey, Hoerhaus, you—"

"You will come with me too, Anubis."

Holhaus smiled and looked at Anubis: "It's hard to find an employer like the SPW consortium, which has a lot of money and good benefits."

"..."

Anubis choked, and looked back at Zheng Qi.

Zheng Qi just responded to it with that kind of gentle gaze.

"……I see."

"Okay, I successfully defeated Dior and ended this trip. How about we take a photo for such a memorable moment?"

At this moment, Kakyoin suddenly suggested.

He was holding a camera in his hand, which was the "survivor" that Er Qiao hadn't used on the way of reading and writing before.

"Oh! What a great idea!"

Polunaruff clapped his hands and immediately took action: "I'll find a clerk to help!"

"How about choosing this side? It's just facing the sun and the city!"

"Not bad, let's take a seat!"

"Here, here, Zheng Qi is too tall, come to the middle!"

"Hey! Yiqi, don't jump on Zheng Qi's head! Oh, stop, stop, stop!"

"Jotaro, stand here with me."

"Hey, of course I want to be by Master Zheng Qi's side, and I have to bring Anubis with me, this is a position for two~"

"Okay, Izzy, let Polnaruff's hair go, come over here quickly."

For a while, the atmosphere became active amidst everyone's high-spirited laughter.

After some tinkering, the waiter with a camera stood in front of the crowd, looking at the group of soldiers bathed in the sun with a smile on his face.

"Guests, are you ready?"

Izzy with a lazy face on top of his head, Er Qiao and Polunaruff hooking his neck on both sides, and Hornhaus lying on his side in front of him and hanging around his neck Anubis in front of him, with Jotaro, Kakyoin, and Abdel standing sideways behind him.

Zheng Qi, who was sitting on the ground, faced the camera with an unconscious smile on his face.

That may be the most relaxed and happy smile that Zheng Qi has shown since he came to this world.

Looking at the relaxed and sincere smiles on everyone's faces, as if infected, the originally polite smile on the waiter's face softened.

"Well, look this way—eggplant!"

With the pressing of the shutter, the scene of this moment is left in the photo.

Kujo Jotaro.

Noriaki Kakyoin.

Joseph Joestar.

Mohammad Abdel.

Jan Pierre Polnaruffe.

Hall Hoss.

anubis.

Izzy.

and also……

Zheng Qi.

All nine members gathered here to end the 50-day journey.

"Wow, Izzy, why are you still like this at this time, please be happy!"

"It's a good shot, and it shows my handsomeness."

"Hey, I was really a handsome guy when I was young, right?"

"Well, it would be a good picture to put in a prominent place."

Sitting on a bench at one side, watching everyone gathered there, commenting on the photo in his hand, and laughing constantly, Zheng Qi couldn't help but lower his head and look at the photo in his hand.

Everyone, here.

Not a single one.

"……ended."

he grumbled.

"What kind of expression is that on your face? You even smile so ugly."

At this moment, Jotaro's voice sounded nearby.

Sitting on the right side of Zheng Qi, Jotaro took out a cigarette from his arms, picked one up, but didn't light it.

"Jotaro, now, do you believe in fate?"

Zheng Qi asked suddenly.

"What nonsense did you suddenly say?"

Jotaro raised his head and looked at the sky: "...Believe it."

"I believe it too, that's why I'm here."

Zheng Qi stared at the photo in his hand.

"Jotaro, someone told me this, he said, [Fate is a sleeping slave]."

"And today, I successfully liberated this fate."

"Honestly, that's great—I think so from the bottom of my heart."

Hearing this, Jotaro was silent for a moment.

"...I never asked, where is your home?"

Then, he asked.

"It's a very far away place, very far away."

"Sounds like a good place."

Jotaro said: "It can make you think that you must go back even if you have traveled so far."
