Looking at Jeanne like that, Cecilia felt a sense of relief for some reason. Yes, a sense of relief; the feeling she had before was now completely gone.
"Okay, okay." Cecilia said, wiping away her tears with her hand, and went over to help Miss Hudson lift the tray in her hands.
Yes, regardless of what the future holds, there are no problems right now, at least not right now, and as long as there are no problems right now.
Then the two girls will inevitably enjoy their own story.
And now, this story is about to turn a new page.

A Frenzy of Ripples and Blood: Chapter Thirty-Six - Jojo's Graduation Thesis
Just like a few days ago, the weather was unusually good.
Such weather means no wind or rain today, which is an unexpectedly good opportunity to gather material for an archaeological paper.
"it is good!"
"Let's go, Cecilia. Our destination is the town of the Wind Knights." Surprisingly energetic early in the morning, Miss Jeanne said this to Cecilia, who had dark circles under her eyes.
"Why do we all have to go to Jojo's thesis?" Cecilia's voice was full of weariness and languor, indicating that she hadn't slept well last night.
"It's okay if more people come, just treat it as a way to relax." This sentence was a slight reminder to Cecilia.
Yes, perhaps going out really is a good way to relax.
With this thought in mind, Cecilia got into the carriage, only to realize afterward that she might have been tricked again.
"Alright, alright, I won't talk about being tricked into coming here. Jeanne, Jojo and the others said they were going somewhere to gather material for their research paper." Cecilia asked this while sitting in the carriage, trying not to fall asleep suddenly, but it didn't seem to be very effective.
"Go find the burial site of Takas and Braho." After briefly recalling the meeting place the two men mentioned, he explained it to Cecilia in this way.
“No wonder you went to Wind Knight Town. It has a training castle for knights, and it's also said to be the place where those two died.” Despite being sleepy, Cecilia still accurately stated the information about the place.
"Yes, but Wind Knight Town isn't that far away, is it?"
"Well, it's not very far." After glancing at the area in front of the car, the young woman saw a place that wasn't too unfamiliar—the place where Jack the Ripper had attacked last time.
"Ah, isn't this the place where Jack the Ripper did it?"
Looking at this place, Miss Na felt a slight sense of nostalgia. Yes, the last time she walked through this place was when she went to see Moriarty.
"Yeah, that's right." Reminded by Miss Jeanne, Cecilia also realized that this was the place where she was attacked by Jack the Ripper, but Jack the Ripper was really weak.
"This time we returned, we stopped Moriarty, dealt with Blackwood, and faced an enemy that surpasses even vampires." Looking at the situation here, Cecilia recalled the events of the past few months and said these words.
"I think I should say that I can finally rest." Recalling the events of the past few months, Ms. Jeanne stated the truth. Yes, she can finally rest, a rest that she has earned after working herself to the bone for the past few months.
“I don’t think I should have come out with you guys to do research for my thesis. I should have stayed home and rested.” Cecilia said this, completely out of character, just like her usual self.
"Alright, everyone's on the bus, so stop talking, okay?" Seeing Cecilia's resentful expression, Miss Jeanne couldn't say much more, since it was indeed her fault for dragging Cecilia out.
At the time when Cecilia needed rest and a change in mindset the most, Miss Jeanne pulled Cecilia out without hesitation, so it's only natural that she would be complained about.
"I really want to keep complaining, but isn't that person Speedwagon?" Cecilia looked out the window, about to continue complaining, when she suddenly spotted someone extraordinary.
"Huh? That's strange, Speedwagon shouldn't be here." Following Cecilia's gaze, Miss Jeana saw the person running along the road.
"Speedwagon, what are you doing?" The carriage stopped beside Speedwagon, and the driver asked him, "Should I get off?"
"Isn't this Miss Joestar? What are you doing here?" Speedwagon, who had been puzzled when he saw the carriage stop, instantly understood something when he saw the person getting off the carriage, but what exactly he understood, who knows?
"Well, actually, I'm here because I'm worried about Joestar, so I secretly followed him."
"I see. Shall we get in the carriage?" After hearing this explanation, Miss Jeanne decided not to delve any deeper into why Speedwagon was there, since Miss Jeanne didn't have the habit of making inferences about the people around her.
Since that's what they said, Miss Jeanne should just listen to it. After all, there's usually a reason why a friend won't tell you.
Now that we know the reason, let's not worry about whether we believe it or not; just accept it as true, and that's the best course of action.
"So, Miss Joestar, are you also going to work on your graduation thesis with Jojo?" Speedwagon asked as he boarded the carriage.
"Yeah, who knows why those two brats called Jeanne and me over there." Her tone was full of resentment, but unexpectedly, there was a slight sense of unease.
Although it wasn't that serious, Cecilia still felt a slight sense of unease.
After all, Cecilia had been very concerned about this ever since the Jeanne incident, because she didn't want anything to happen to the people around her.
However, with Miss Jeanne right now beside Cecilia, Cecilia's intuition might be wrong. But if anything, Cecilia doesn't intend to let her guard down about that slight sense of foreboding right now.
As for why, the reason is simple: I just don't want what happened to Miss Na to happen again.
However, this premonition came true several hours later, in a completely unexpected way.
But let's set aside Cecilia's premonition for now.
The two of them finally arrived at the castle, the castle where the knights trained, several tens of minutes later.
However, at the door, Cecilia's ominous feeling reached its peak, unexpectedly so, but this time it wasn't Miss Na who felt it, which was quite strange in itself.
However, regardless of my premonition, I still have to go in. After all, it seems that Jojo and Dio have already gone in.
So the only option is to go inside and find those two brats. After all, no one knows what strange things those two brats are capable of doing, and it's not impossible that they might tear this place down, especially given the example of the Joestar family.

Ripples and Blood Frenzy: Chapter Thirty-Seven - Why So Much Trouble Could Happen from Just Choosing a Thesis Source
The air was damp, the castle was dark, and every breath you took carried a distinct musty smell.
The training ground for the knights, the Hall of the Two-Headed Dragon, is named so that only by killing another person whose neck is chained can one obtain the key to the chain around their own neck.
As for why it should be introduced this way?
The reason, of course, is that a mischievous child opened this mechanism.
Once the mechanism is activated, the chains will be forcibly attached to the person, who will then be dragged into the room.
"That concludes the explanation for this place," Miss Jeanne, suspended in mid-air, said to Cecilia.
"By the way, Cecilia, are you heavier than me?"
"Get lost! You can't just say whatever you want about a girl's weight, okay? Besides, I only weigh 55 kilograms, where did that weight come from?" Cecilia, who was hanging in the air because of her weight, couldn't help but blush after hearing this complaint.
"It is indeed heavier than me, after all, I only weigh 44 kilograms." Then she revealed her weight, but Miss Jeanne has always been indifferent to her figure and weight, since she has a good figure and a low weight.
Actually, if you calculate it carefully, Miss Jeanne's body fat percentage is at a normal level, the level of a normal person. Should we say that a height of 1.59 meters is too short? After all, even Cecilia is 1.69 meters tall.
"You two, how can you not care at all that you're locked up?!" Speedwagon watched the two of them exploding each other's weight.
"It's alright, it's just these chains. Cecilia, how's it going with you unlocking them?"
After being reminded by Miss Jeanne, Speedwagon realized that Cecilia was already using the tools she carried to pick the lock.
Generally speaking, the chains here are specially designed to fit the knights' necks, so these chains are surprisingly loose for Cecilia and Jeanne.
Similarly, it is precisely because of this spaciousness that Cecilia has enough room to open the lock.
As for why they knew how to pick locks, it's fair to say that picking locks and sneaking in was a required skill for detectives in this era, so it's impossible that Jeanne and Cecilia didn't know how.
However, since Miss Jeanne is currently suspended in the air, it's not easy to clean her, which is why Cecilia is the one unlocking the lock.
"Alright, it's open. I didn't expect this lock from hundreds of years ago to be so difficult to open." After a little while, Miss Jeanne finally heard Cecilia's words.
First, pull open the chain, then take out the key from inside and toss it to Miss Jeanne, who was still hanging in the air.
"Thanks." After unlocking the chain around her neck, Miss Jeanne said this to Cecilia.
"URYYYYYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" But the moment Miss Jeanne landed, she heard such a sound, a roar that didn't sound like a human's.
“Cecilia!” There was no further explanation, for a simple reason: Miss Jeanne knew that Cecilia would understand what she wanted to say.
"Okay!" With that, the two started running, and Speedwagon followed behind them.
I ran in the direction the sound came from, but if I had to say, something was already too late, it felt like it was already much, much too late.
Yes, when the two arrived at the location of the sound, they saw something unbelievable.
Despite being beheaded, Jojo remained full of energy, while a ghoul wore an unusually peaceful expression, as if he had recalled something. (Even after being beheaded, Jojo could still mutter to himself...)
"Dior, what happened?" After only a few seconds of realizing that the beheaded Jojo might not be able to answer Jeanne's question, she asked Dior directly.
"Sister Na, please take care of Qiao Qiao's head and body. As for Takas, I'll take care of him."
After glancing at Jojo, who was still full of energy despite being beheaded, Miss Jeanne began to doubt something: did this person really need care? However, despite her thoughts, she still gestured for Cecilia to look after Jojo's body.
“To be honest, Takas, I really didn’t want to do it myself. Jojo and I grew up together, so I know very well that Jojo is stronger than me. That’s why I had Jojo deal with you…”
"But I was too naive. Seeing Jojo fall down made me realize that I, Dior, should not have a vulnerable side in terms of my mental state."
"Now! I no longer hesitate, I will tear you to pieces!!!"
But what interesting thing did Miss Jeanne analyze after hearing this?
For example, the true identity of the knight in front of Dio.
As for the reason for the resurrection, Miss Jeanne has already made a pretty good guess. It's probably because Dio's blood accidentally came into contact with the two knights who were essentially corpses, which is why it turned out like this.
"Me too, I feel absolutely no guilt about ruining you!!!"
But then Ridio stopped talking and jumped in front of Tusca, looking at the dead man who had been revived by his blood.
"Stop talking big, Tasca. I will utterly crush you, and you will be forever shrouded in the darkness of history!" Dio said, adjusting his breathing slightly.
"Hahoohoohoohoohoo!" Then, ripples of light flashed across his hand, and his hand began to melt.
"My youth was spent with Qiaoqiao; we grew up together."
