Chapter 43: Yoshikage Kira Just Wants to Live Quietly
Y/n's POV
Josuke suddenly called me and told me to meet him somewhere, when I arrived there were a bunch of people I was unfamiliar with. A girl with pink hair was holding a photo
"There's no doubt about it. This boy is dead. Shigekiyo encountered him, and was killed by him. I can tell. Though I don't know why he encountered him, or how he was killed, but it was definitely him. I can tell it was him because he killed me" The girl says
Wait she's dead?
"I looked for Shigechi everywhere, but couldn't find him. He disappeared within just five minutes after Okuyasu and I got separated from him. Shigechi's books and school supplies were all left behind, and his parents have requested a police search. That probably means.." Josuke trails off
"Y-You're saying, the culprit is a stand user?" Koichi asks. Me, Jotaro and Joseph looked at eachother
"You guys probably don't know much about Shigechi, but I can't imagine there's anyone who can beat Shigechi's Harvest. This guy killed Shigechi within five minutes, and managed to hide his body somewhere within the school" Josuke says
"Jotaro, Y/n, now that it's clear we're dealing with a stand user, we'll have to help out, as well" Joseph says
"Josuke. I heard you picked up a button" Jotaro says
So no one tells me anything, I guess
"Yeah. One of the Harvests brought it to me. This is it" Josuke says taking it out of his pocket. Jotaro grabs it
"This is Shigechi's final message. It could be that Harvest ripped it off of the murderer's clothes and brought it to you. Let me hold on to this button. I'll do some research" Jotaro says
"Y-You can locate the guy with the kind of button you could find anywhere?" Josuke asks
"It's possible. We might be able to figure out the brand of the clothes and where it came from" Jotaro says
"I see.." Koichi says
"I-If we're done talking, I'm gonna go home. I-I'm kind of in a weird mood. I-I'm really annoyed. Let's go home, Dad" Okuyasu says walking away as a blob follows him
"There's something wrong with Okuyasu" Koichi says
"Yeah, Shigechi was a greedy, irritating little punk, but he was the type you just couldn't leave alone. We can't believe he's gone. Not to mention, he must feel annoyed because he can't tell if he should be angry or sad right now. We both feel that way. I'm sure Okuyasu feels it far more" Josuke says
"It appears something awful has happened outside my notice" A girl with long black hair says
"I'm going to warn all the customers who come to my restaurant" a blonde man says
"Phew, I don't think he'll come to my place, but just in case..." a blonde lady says
"Stand users eventually attract other stand users. Though I never want to meet that guy" a short boy with black hair says walking away
"So now everyone's going to take action, huh?" A man with green hair asks. We all begin walking in separate directions. I was walking with Jotaro, Joseph and the baby Shizuka.
~Time Skip~
Jotaro was look at some book while we were standing on the sidewalk
"Ah, H-Hello, Jotaro, Y/n. Um, did you find anything out since last time? Like, about the murderer's button, or.." Koichi trailed of
"No, not really. There's nothing yet" Jotaro says walking off
"I-I see.." Koichi says. We both follow Jotaro
"Um, where are you going?" Koichi asks
"Nowhere, really" Jotaro says
"You dragged me along to go nowhere?" I ask
"Yes, just over there" Jotaro says
"Ah.. that's a very lovely coat!" Koichi says
"Isn't it? I bought it for him" I say
"This store appears to be a shoe store" Jotaro says
"Huh? Oh! Yes, it's a shoe store. Is there something wrong? It's a shoe store, but they also do things on the side, like fixing waist measurements on skirts and hemming pants. There's also an electronics shop that sells flowers. Is there something wrong?" Koichi asks
Electronics and flowers?
"I heard about all of the tailors around Morioh, but I didn't think to ask about places like this" Jotaro says pulling out the button. We all walk in and have the guy look at the button
"Something wrong with this button?"
"No, if you haven't seen it before, don't worry about it. I just couldn't remember what it was originally attached to" Jotaro says as Koichi takes the button back
"Little boy, would you like an animal cracker? I always eat the camel last, so you can have any of the others"
"No, thank you" Koichi says
"Oh, okay, but not only have I seen that button before, but look, I just finished repairing the suit it came off of. A customer came in yesterday, asking me to put on the exact same button. See? It's the exact same button"
"Jotaro!" Koichi says
"Good grief. We found it, Koichi" Jotaro says
"Found it?"
"Oh, n-nothing. M-More importantly, what did the customer look like? Do you know his name?" Koichi asks
"His name? Well, of course I do. What do you take me for? I remember all of my customers' names. That's how you're supposed to treat customers, even if you have hundreds or thousands!"
"Really?" Jotaro asks
Something tells me he doesn't actually know it
"Yes! That's amazing! Could you tell us his name?" Koichi asks
"Anyway, the jacket has an order tag on it. Of course I remember it, even out of hundreds. But I figure it might be faster to look. Let's see. The last name is, how do you read this? I think it's.."
"Wh-What is it? M-May I see it?" Koichi asks getting closer
"Um, um..." Suddenly something had shot the man's hand. I rushed to his side to begin healing his hand
"Look over here" someone said.
"Y/n, get back!" Jotaro says. I stopped healing the man and got back
"Wh-What the?! My hand!"
"Look over here" the stand said on the man's shoulder
"J-Jotaro! Y/n! L-Look!" Koichi says
"Watch out, Koichi! Don't go any closer!" Jotaro says
"Hey, I told you to look over here" the stand said. The stand then went in the man's mouth. Jotaro pulled Koichi back
"Is that his stand?!" Jotaro asks
"Most likely" I say
"J-Jotaro! Y/n! H-He's here! He's taking the jacket!" Koichi yells. We see an arm take the jacket
"Good grief. Who would've though he'd come to get his suit now?" Jotaro asks walking closer. The stand started to move
"It's still moving! The jacket is evidence!" Koichi said as he began running towards the jacket. Jotaro grabbed him
"Wait! Don't run after it without thinking. The way that jacket is being pulled is suspicious. Something about that stand.." Jotaro trailed off as it began to tick
"Is dangerous!" Jotaro yelled as he suddenly wrapped his arms around me and Koichi. I used my stand to put up a shield as an explosion went off
