You woke up to a brand new day, knowing things would be alright, because you had some of your girlfriends looking out for you. 

And then you turned to see- 

???: MMMMMMM! 

Hato was in her swimsuit, and stretching. 

(Y/N): (blushing and with a bit of a nosebleed) Oh my God. 

???: HI (Y/N)! 

Daiya appeared out of nowhere and gave you a big hug! 

She was also in her swimsuit. 

A cute little pink bikini. 

(Y/N): (blushing) H-Hi Daiya. So, why is everyone all in their bathing suits? 

You then looked at your breakfast, prepared by Kei, who gave you the biggest helping of chocolate chip pancakes. 

(Y/N): Looking out for your brother, aren't you, Sis? 

Daiya: A typical morning in Morioh, eating pancakes in our swimsuits. There's never been such an unfortunate event in the history of the Higashikata Family. 

(Y/N): Uh ... 

Daiya: We had to cancel our family trip to Hawaii. So today, we put on our bathing suits just so we have the feeling of a poolside breakfast. 

(Y/N): A trip to Hawaii?! Why wasn't I told about this?! 

Daiya: You can thank Hato for that. She didn't get the passport, so we can't leave Japan. 

Hato: Hey, nobody told me that Hawaii was in America. Stuff like Pearl Harbor is written in Kanji, and Kamehameha and stuff.

(Y/N): Uh ... right. I thought that was common knowledge that Hawaii is one of the 50 states of America. 

Hato: Daddy, won't you get us back into a good mood? 

Norisuke: How should I? I just learned how much of an idiot my own daughter is. 

(Y/N): (sweatdrop) Okay, ouch. So what if Hato isn't exactly that bright? 

You then saw Joshu in his normal clothes. 

(Y/N): Joshu, why aren't you changed? 

Joshu: You really expect me to get into an insecure vehicle like an airplane? No way! I'm not going to Hawaii not now, not ever! 

He inspected the milk carton. 

Joshu: Hey, Ms. Nijimura, the milk is past the expiration date! 

(Y/N): Oh calm down, milk is still fine if it's just one day past the date. Everyone knows that. 

Joshu: Listen here (Y/N), I don't believe in God. You can't blame me for not wanting to walk a tightrope of"it's just one day" without having any basis for thinking. 

Hato: Come on, Joshu, God definitely exists. I mean the cow that made this milk and us humans exist because God made it for us! 

Joshu: There's no way I'd be friends with just some cow! You can't blame me for being uneasy about grouping humans together with cows! 

Norisuke: You guys are really being pains in the asses today. (Y/N), I would like it if you watched over Joshu so he doesn't get into trouble. 

(Y/N): Alright, fine. 

Joshu: WHAT?! DAD! ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I DON'T WANT THIS GUY AS MY FUCKING BABYSITTER! 

(Y/N): Believe me, dumbass, you're the last guy I want to take care of. And you remind me of one friend who really gets on my nerves sometimes. 

You began to picture Zenitsu simping over Nezuko. 

(Y/N): Yeah, way too much like him. Even sounds like him. Either way, I better get this over with. 

Much later... 

Joshu: Well, how smart are you? Can you solve this? 

He showed you a Math Problem. 

(Y/N): That's easy! 180 Degrees! 

Joshu: Uh ... 

Joshu looked at your work. 

Joshu: If you think you've beaten me, then I'll kill you! Just so we're clear! 

(Y/N): WHAT IS YOUR DEAL?! 

Joshu: Yasuho is my girl! She even let me kiss her; it was a deep and hot one! 

He stuck his tongue out at you! 

Joshu: Back at the Wall Eyes, you just got lucky, there's no way in hell I lost to you or some shit like that! No ay in hell! So don't screw around with my Yasuho! 

(Y/N): Is Joshu even a Stand User? Or did he just say those idiotic proclamations naturally? I still don't know a thing about the Higashikatas. Either way, I can't drop my guard. Not even for a second. 

Joshu: Hey (Y/N), you see that road over there? 

He pointed over to a street nearby. 

(Y/N): What about it? 

Joshu: A few years ago, I got my money extorted from me on this very road. They really fucked with me. So now I'm going to get some payback. Since you're stuck with me, you've got to help me. 

(Y/N): What's up with this place? 

Joshu: For some reason, people get shaken down on that road, including me. This era is all about appearance. People only pretend to follow the rules. They just dress up all nice so the surface is pretty. A guy like you, you'll get torn apart. So you got to rip them off for me. 

(Y/N): Fine, let's go. 

You both started walking down the street. 

(Y/N): So people here stole from you at a place like this? 

Joshu: I don't go down this road every morning, but it's something pretty much everyone in Morioh knows about. 

He then saw three guys nearby and Joshu tensed up. 

(Y/N): Was it them? 

Joshu: No, I don't think so. 

Woman: Excuse me, Young Man. If I've made some mistakes, I'm sorry. I apologize from the bottom of my heart, but I believe you stepped on something. 

(Y/N): Huh? 

Woman: It's just, I was looking at a store window and it happened in just an instant, but there can be no disputing things that are certain. Some things are certain, aren't they? 

Joshu: Are you talking to us? 

Woman: What are you talking about?! Just now, you stepped on it and broke the toy my daughter was playing with! 

Little Girl: WAAAAAAAAAAH! 

(Y/N): Uh ... 

Woman: It was you who did this! You broke her compact! 

Joshu: Hey! What's going on?! Quit acting so familiar, Old Lady! 

(Y/N): JOSHU! DON'T EVER SAY THAT YOU IDIOT! 

Woman: BRAT! CAN'T YOU SEE HOW SAD MY DAUGHTER IS?! ARE YOU JUST GOING TO STAND AROUND?! 

Joshu then noticed a little bear stuck to his shoe. 

Joshu: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! 

Little Girl: WAAAAAAAH! MY COMPACT THAT SANTA GAVE ME IS BROKEN! 

Everyone turned to Joshu. 

(Y/N): They're looking at us. 

Joshu: (Y/N), I swear on my life, I'm telling the truth. I didn't break it! 

Old Man: Hey, Ms., are you okay? What happened? 

The woman was comforting her daughter. 

Guy: If there's some kind of trouble, I'll go and call the officer over there. 

Joshu: NO! COME ON! I DIDN'T MEAN TO STEP ON IT! Maybe it was knocked over! Look, Kid, I'm sorry, okay? 

He looked at the compact. 

Joshu: Wow, the footprint matches my shoe; maybe I did step on it. 

Woman: Just what kind of upbringing have you had? It looked more like you were apologizing just because you got caught and you were told to. That's a result of your upbringing, I say! 

He then gave her some money. 

Woman: I'll accept it, but this still won't return her wounded heart. 

Joshu: I mean, you could always buy a new one. 

They then left. 

Joshu: ARGH! DAMN IT! 

(Y/N): So, was it her who swindled you before? 

Joshu: NO! No, it's different. Last time it was two old guys! 

(Y/N): Well, did you step on it or not? 

Joshu: At this point, I don't know. If I didn't pay her, she wouldn't let me hear the end of it! I can't believe I let that shitty woman get hte better of me! 

He then had an idea! 

Joshu: (Y/N), I'm going to record you while talking with others. That way, we'll be the ones to score some cash! We'll extort the money back and milk these bastards for all they've got! 

(Y/N): Is everyone really like this? 

Joshu: Yeah, they call it Shakedown Road. 

Old Man: Hey, you there! 

Joshu: PISS OFF, OLD MAN! 

Old Man: Not you, the other one. 

(Y/N): Me? 

Old Man: You have blood on your sleeve. 

(Y/N): HUH?! 

You look at blood on your shirt sleeve. 

(Y/N): That's not my blood! 

Old Man: I see. Whew, that's a relief. The fact that you're unhurt really is what matters. But you just broke my shop's water tank, didn't you? The goldfish are fine, but please don't try to do anything sneaky like just not say anything and walk away in the confusion, now. 

(Y/N): But I- 

Old Man: That would cost 330,000 Yen. 

You and Joshu were speechless. 

Old Man: Well? Say something! Or are you thinking about running off? 

(Y/N): But I didn't break it! I wasn't even near it! 

Old Man: Haven't you heard this is Shakedown Road? Also known as Deadman's Curve. I'm a seasoned veteran of this place. I'll track you both down no matter how long it takes. 

(Y/N): No, you probably splashed the blood on me from behind my back! We were recording everything, so we can look at it! 

Joshu: YEAH! Good idea (Y/N)! 

Joshu played his smartphone's recording

And on there, there was a gust of wind that pushed you right into the goldfish tank, and broke it! 

What was funnier was that you were pushed back after stepping in some leaves. 

Joshu: The Ginkgo Tree Leaves! 

(Y/N): What is it, Joshu? Did you see anything? 

Joshu: Uh ... I think I forgot to hit the Record Button! What is up with these leaves? It's because of them that (Y/N) got pushed back. Does everyone know about this? 

Old Man: Hey, are you listening to me? 

Joshu: I just pushed the record button now! 

Old Man: Hey, I'm just telling the truth, you know. Whatever motive you had in doing that, whether it was on purpose or not, that's not the issue. You just broke my water tank. That's all that happened. 

(Y/N): NO! This has to be a trick or something! 

Old Man: YOU CALLING ME A LIAR?! Well, those two over there are police officers, I'll call them over here! 

You grabbed his neck with Mimic. 

(Y/N): Tell the truth, are you a Stand User?! 

You looked at him, and noticed it. 

(Y/N): He's not a Stand user. He doesn't seem to be able to see Mimic. So what's going on? Look, I don't have that much money on me. 

He was touching your pants with his cane. 

Old Man: Wait, there's something in your pocket. 

(Y/N): NO! Wait! This isn't my money! This is just some stuff that the guy who owns the house I'm staying at owns! 

Old Man: Don't talk to me about that! What do I care? Well, I can just charge your friend or whatever. If you give me 20,000 right now, I'll forgive you. When you come down this road next month, pay another 20,000 Yen! Then you can just keep paying that every month! 

He took 20,000 and then left. 

Joshu: ARGH! What do we do?! 

(Y/N): Where the hell is the Stand?! Someone must be in control here! Joshu, did you not see anything?! 

Joshu: Hey, I'm a victim here too you know! Maybe we should just go. 

(Y/N): No, there's something fishy about this street. We're not leaving until we figure things out. 

Joshu: YEAH! THAT'S THE SPIRIT! Time to earn me some cash! I'll be unstoppable with this guy helping me! I wonder if (Y/N) will figure it out soon, about the leaves. Maybe the Old guy knows too, he was avoiding them. 

(Y/N): Joshu, I'm going to start using a video. I need to make sure things are recorded. 

That's when the three men from before arrived. 

Guy: Hey, this is seriously bad. 

Guy 2: Are you screwing around? We've seen you prowling around this road for a while now! 

You both didn't say a thing. 

Guy 3: Nothing to say? Practicing for when the two of you become corpses? Or maybe they're going with that already, the old foreign language. 

Joshu: WHAT?! We don't speak Human ... Piece of ... Shit ... Ese! 

They just snickered. 

Guy 3: That guy's taking a photo with a camera huh? 

Guy: This will be quick. HOW DARE YOU BREAK MY CELL PHONE! I'LL KILL YOU! Look at that puddle! 

You saw a phone cracked in a puddle. 

Guy: Don't even think about moving! 

Guy 2: You just knocked it onto the ground, do you have any idea what's going to happen now?! 

Joshu: It looks like they're talking about you. 

(Y/N): Well, I've got it this time. 

The video had Joshu covered in leaves as the phone was being dropped into the puddle. 

(Y/N): My elbow hit his arm and it seemed to fall back! I didn't even feel a thing! This road moved. But how? Does everyone here know? Who is the Stand User?! 

Guy: Look, hand this package over to that girl over there, and we'll let this go. 

They brought something over and pointed to a girl smoking where two men in coats were nearby. 

Joshu: What's in it? 

Guy 2: Oh, I wonder what would happen if you were to find out? 

Guy: Just hand it over to her. 

You picked it up. 

(Y/N): Hey, Joshu, are we on the same side? 

Joshu: (sweating) Y-Yeah! Of course! We're in the same family! 

You inspected it with Mimic's Soap Bubbles. 

Guy: Come on, just give it to her. 

Guy 2: Just nod before handing it over to her. 

(Y/N): Wait, are teh guys over there officers? 

Guy 3: Who? 

Guy 2: You people ask a lot of questions. Can you think of any time today when some cops wre following you? 

Joshu: No, not really. 

Guy: Then we have no problems. There are no police officers anywhere. We're all totally unrelated. Nobody is being followed by the cops. 

(Y/N): There's definitely something moving on this street that can't be seen with the normal eye. Someting here is causing me to slip around without me knowing it. And everyone else knows what it is. 

You and Joshu walk over to the girl who pulled up her skirt a bit. 

(Y/N) and Joshu: AGH! 

You both got a bit excited, with you blushing and turning, but you nodded. 

Joshu turned and saw them moving the leaves. 

Joshu: THOSE GUYS! 

The leaves were moving onto you and Joshu as you were about to give the package. 

And then teh guys in coats came over. 

One of them was hit in the face! 

Guy 1: HEY YOU! 

You hit the other one in the neck with your elbow unexpectedly! 

(Y/N): HUH?! 

Joshu: THAT WOMAN! She made something move, and she put it on top of the leaves! 

The two men grabbed you! 

Officer 1: BASTARD! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST! 

Officer 2: For obstructing officers from performing their duty and possessing narcotics! 

Joshu: That woman! Her bag isn't black anymore! It's white! She made it move with the leaves! And what those guys have in the bag was what the woman had! They were planning to use the leaves to perform a transaction all on their own right from the start! And because the police were watching, they set it up so (Y/N) would get arrested! 

You saw under the leaves, Stands! 

(Y/N): Those tiny things, they're Stands! 

Guy: Okay, transaction complete! We got the money and- 

But the bag was empty. 

Guy 2: Where's the money?! 

Joshu started running! 

(Y/N): JOSHU! WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU IDIOT?! 

Guy: THAT FUCKING BASTARD! 

Joshu: HAHAHAHAHA! YES! I GOT THE MONEY FROM THE BAG!!! 

Guy 3: He took the contents from the bag while it was moving! 

Officer: We have a suspect in custody and one on the run! Requesting backup! 

As Joshu kept running ,the three thugs got ahead of him! 

They then grabbed him! 

Guy: You ain't getting away! We're experts at using movement on Shakeodwn Road! 

Guy 2: You're dead meat! 

But then one of their hands was jabbed with a bolt with a little nut around it! 

Guy: WHAT IS THIS?! WHERE DID IT COME FROM?! 

Joshu: A screw?! 

His hand came off! 

Guy: WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME YOU BASTARD?! 

He grabbed Joshu's neck with his other hand, and three more bolts came, with the nuts popping off and the hand disassembling! 

Guy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! 

Joshu: Am I doing this?! 

In the confusion, Joshu saw his chance and started to run! 

Guy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AH! Huh?! 

He saw his hands were fine. 

Guy: Whew, they're back! Was that adream or something? 

Guy 2: I saw it! Your hands came off! 

Joshu: HAHAHAHA! 300,000 Yen! And it's all mine! So, I guess (Y/N) got arrested. It was pretty creepy how he just came into my house, and Dad accepted him on the spot. But, you know, he's a pretty nice guy. It was fun hanging around him. Maybe once he pays for that crime, and gets freed, I'll treat him to some okonomiyaki. I've got all this hard earned cash to spend. 

But as he opened up the envelope. 

Joshu: LEAVES?! THE FUCK?! WHERE's MY MONEY?! I KNOW I SAW IT! WHERE DID IT GO?! 

Out from the package back where you were came candy! 

Officer: Candy?! What?! 

(Y/N): Heh, so candy was in there. That was a decoy from the three douchebags. 

Officer 2: What else do you have?! Let me see your clothes. 

(Y/N): Hang on. 

You pulled out the money 

Officer: Are these yours? 

(Y/N): It may not be my place to say this, but if you're looking for a transaction of illegal goods. You should follow the lady with the big boobs from before. This is Shakedown Road, and this cash doesn't belong to anyone at all. 

Bubbles appeared around you. 

(Y/N): Everyone who walks here knows about how it works. But everyone here gets deceived. That's the rule. I used Mimic to send the bubbles into Joshu's clothes. With that, the money moved right into the envelope that he stole. After I put some tree leaves in, the money Joshu ran, I brought the money back from inside the envelope. Officers, I just need to pay the Pet Shop owner for a gold fish tank. So, I've won. 

You walked off with a smile. 

Officer: What about his charge of obstructing officers from performing their duty?! 

Officer 2: That money won't be any proof. The girl. We need to follow her. 

Meanwhile... 

Yasuho was in class and had to block Joshu. 

Yasuho: If I have to keep rejecting him like this, I'll have to consider Joshu a stalker. Even so, he's pushing his luck. 

She then saw him on Shakedown Road. 

Yasuho: Shakedown Road. What's he doing over there? 

She then saw someone named Joestar Jizou. 

Yasuho: Joestar Jizou? That sounds weird. But ... where have I heard that name before? 

She looked it up. 

Yasuho: Joestar Jizou, a stone monument located in S City of Morioh dedicated to the repose of the soul of American Racer, Johnny Joestar. Oh yeah! For some reason, even Ms. Holly said to go and check that family tree! I didn't see any details, but I know that name was on there! (Y/N) even said that Ms. Holly was on the Higashikata Family Tree! 

She saw an article related to 1901. 

Yasuho: "The evening of the 11th. An American Racer named Johnny Joestar moved to Japan. He was passing through the main road nearby Kutsukabe Shrine in S City, Morioh. He was bludgeoned by someone with a boulder. His death was confirmed in the early morning of the 12th. The authorities ruled it a homicide. And called out to any witnesses to provide information. They heard information from his wife, Rina, as a main suspect. A large boulder wa laying on the head of his corpse. Johnny Joestar had come to Japan on a request from the Japanese Government to teach horsemanship. He was also contributing to the information of foreign fruits to Japan. Rina, huh? 

She activated her Stand! 

Yasuho: "The authorities that announced American Horseman Johnny Joestar's death as a homicide, altered the cause of death to being an accident and gave his wife, Rina, an apology and released her. Furthermore, they judged the cause of the accident, the boulder to have naturally fallen from the hill of Mutsukabe Shrine. Half a year later, a izou has been constructed in dedication to the American Horseman who died in an accident. Lamenting the death of this man who died in Morioh, a land foreign to him." 

She got up and stared to leave. 

Yasuho: Rina was on teh Family Tree! She was a member of the Higashikata Family who was the wife to Johnny Joestar! She was the daughter of Mr. Norisuke's great-grandfather! Ms. Holly really is connected to the Higashikatas! Is this a coincidence?! Could (Y/N) be connected somehow to all this?! I have to find him! Where are you (Y/N)?! 

Meanwhile... 

You and the girls found the statue. 

Ruby: So, this is the Joestar Jizou? 

Blake: It even has a little sailor hat. 

Medaka: (Y/N), does it remind you of your friend, Johnny? 

(Y/N): I guess. 

???: Yes, dedicated to the man who died in this location. 

The Old Man from before appeared. 

(Y/N): YOU! 

Old Man: Easy there. I don't want to extort you anymore. You paid me the money after all. I just want to talk with you. 

Sunset: It looks very clean. 

Old Man: Yeah, everyone here in the neighborhood looks after it. We even leave flowers too. I think the hat salesman from somewhere in town put that hat on. The shop is called SBR. 

(Y/N): SBR?! Steel Ball Run. Tell me. Johnny Joestar, did he actually die here?! Johnny died? How?! 

Old Man: Not many people know the story of Johnny Joestar. But you know about him? 

(Y/N): He was ... a good friend of mine. 

Old Man: Well, Sonny, who knows if he ever really lived. Even if you check the library, there are all kinds of interpretations to the story. It's a fantasy story told by my grandfather. 

Nora: Wow, you are really old. 

Rin: NORA! That's too rude! 

Old Man: HAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, here's how it goes. It happened a long time ago. Johnny Joestar came to Japan to teach teh army horse riding techniques. However, it was all a front. He actually came here to marry a Japanese Woman named Rina Higashikata. The two of them crossed the Pacific and got to know each other on a passenger boat. 

(Y/N): Of course, the last time I saw Johnny, he was leaving on a boat. And that was after we went to bury Gyro back in Italy! 

Old Man: Rina and Johnny were very much in love. They lived a happy life on a farm. Rina worked for his sake, and Johnny gave her moral support. He eventually became recognized by the nation as a horseman. But after that, the happy life had gone for several years, Rina was struck by a disease. None of the doctors the world over could cure it. The disease was unnatural. At first, she started to lose her memories one by one. Then they would come back and disappear again. Over time, they say it became so severe that it threatened her life. And in appearance, origami-like lines grew on her skin and it became hard. That's when Johnny decided to bring Rina back to Japan. He had decided that it would be best for his wife to live out her remaining days at the town where she was born in. And after a great amount of aganonizing, Johnny Joestar decdied to do someting he never should have done. Johnny believed in a certain power when he was young, before he got married. That was sleeping in a certain place deep below the city of New York. A power held by a Holy Corpse. 

You realized what the old Man was talking about. 

(Y/N): NO! Johnny, you didn't! 

It was too hard to believe it, but it was true. Johnny had unearthed the Holy Corpse. The same Holy Corpse that you, he, and Gyro were looking for during the events of the Steel Ball Run Race. The same Holy Corpse that Funny Valentine desired. The same Holy Corpse that nearly killed Lucy! The same one that the alternate Diego tried to get! The one that you and Stephen Steel sealed away! 

(Y/N): (tearing up) Johnny. Why? You idiot!
