I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Because our teacher has changed," Chida Yo said to Kurokawa Kazuya.

“I’ll tell you myself, I’ll tell you myself.” Interrupting Chida Yo, Kazumi stuck out her tongue and said to Kurokawa Kazuya, “Um... our previous teacher had some trouble, I heard it was a car accident, and she seems to have died... Now we have a new teacher, and she wants to visit our home.”

"When?" Kurokawa Kazuya frowned slightly.

"It should be this weekend... I remember it was at my house around that time." Kurokawa Kazumi thought for a moment.

“That’s right, it’s the weekend for your family, and tomorrow for mine. Sanae’s is tonight, right?” Chida Yo said, looking at Kawamoto Sanae who was playing with Kohana.

"Hmm...the teacher will be coming to my house tonight." Sanae Kawamoto thought for a moment and nodded. Perhaps because it had been a while, she wasn't as nervous as she had been at the beginning, but she was still a little reserved.

"I'm full! Ye! Sanae! Let's go." Kurokawa Kazumi said, finishing her milk in one gulp and picking up her bag.

"Be careful!" Kurokawa Kazuya shouted.

Then, when he and Mei were about the same distance apart, he quietly followed them.

He was taken to school, then returned home to continue creating new comic character designs that he envisioned.

.....

night--

The day is over.

Kurokawa Kazumi lay on the bed and fell peacefully asleep.

but...

"Where is this place?"

When Kurokawa Kazumi came to her senses, she found herself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by a misty fog. She had no idea how she got there or what she was doing there...

I was just wandering around aimlessly.

Then... at some point, a white-haired man appeared in front of her.

"I've finally met you, Kazumi Kurokawa. You've answered my call."

"who are you?"

The man's features were obscured by a mist... He was quite tall, but compared to her, he was shorter than Kurokawa Kazuya, with whom she had always lived; he was probably around 1.8 meters tall.

"Who I am is not important. The question is you...who are you? Do you even know?"

"I am... Kurokawa Kazumi..." The girl's eyes were a little confused, not knowing why this person was asking her this, but... one thing was certain: she didn't notice anything different about herself than usual. In real life, she would never say so much to a stranger.

She is very wary.

But for some reason, the person in front of me exudes a sense of reassurance.

"Yes, you are Kurokawa Kazumi, that's for sure. So... do you know who you live with?"

"Living together? My brother... is Kurokawa Kazuya."

"Really... Is he really Kurokawa Kazuya? You're not mistaken, are you?"

"Huh?" Kurokawa Kazumi paused for a moment, inexplicably recalling the changes in her brother over the past period of time, no, to be more specific, about two years ago—it was as if he had become a completely different person.

"No...no, he is my brother—!" Suddenly, her eyes hardened, and her confusion vanished.

The dream shattered, and when she came to her senses, everything had changed. She was back in her room, and her brother, Kurokawa Kazuya, was standing at the door.

"That's strange, you didn't sleep in today?" Kurokawa Kazuya said in surprise.

"Um... well, I had a bit of a nightmare." Kurokawa Kazumi smiled.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Re-entry

“Failed? As expected…” the white-haired man said.

The girl's obsession with Kurokawa Kazumi was within his expectations, but the past and future of Kurokawa Kazumi that he saw were not so perfect.

However, that is based on the premise that Kurokawa and Miya do not change.

Things are different now—

Kazuya Kurokawa... This man is an enigma; his record spans only two short years... Before that, there was another completely different person also named Kazuya Kurokawa...

Someone tampered with his records, or rather... he really was born two years ago.

Whichever it is, it signifies his extraordinary nature.

However—he was a little too ordinary, not in any particular sense, but in terms of magical talent. His talent in this area was practically zero.

On the other side... Kurokawa Kazumi is in a similar situation.

He's just an ordinary person.

Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but for an ordinary person, the fact that his future has changed from known to unknown is something that puzzles him.

However... although it is unknown, it is not entirely without clues.

Human destiny is like a formula. Each person's destiny is a number, and then—these countless numbers combined, fitted with a formula, yield the final answer: the destiny of the world, the destiny of all humanity, that is, the "general trend."

But—now things have changed. Kurokawa Kazuya has gone from being a known number to an unknown. At this point, the only way to predict his future is to set his fate as an unknown variable X.

This is very disadvantageous for him, and extremely disadvantageous for him who wants to accomplish great things in the future.

Originally... it would have been best to kill Kurokawa and Miya directly at this point.

Once this unknown is gone, everything becomes simple—

But... by sheer bad luck, he actually gained the favor of the Root. Although the reason is unknown, that's just how reality is.

In this way, not only himself, but even Gaia and Alaya were unable to directly attack him.

So... he chose to subtly and slowly influence that person... to influence Kurokawa Kazumi, and to control this person who was closest to Kurokawa Kazumi.

If Kurokawa Kazumi doesn't hinder his plans, then so be it. But if she does, then it's time to use Kurokawa Kazumi as a trump card.

However—none of this is worth his attention right now.

Because, in his eyes, Kurokawa Kazuya is now powerless, just an ant that can be crushed at any time—if it weren't for that root cause!

This was something he completely couldn't understand. Why? The root cause... something that should have been completely unconscious seemed to have developed its own consciousness? And even took action? He just couldn't understand it!

......

Watching Kurokawa Kazumi step into the school gate, Kurokawa Kazuya frowned slightly: "Something's... off. Kazumi's acting a little strange today. My intuition tells me she's hiding something from me..."

However... it was just a fleeting feeling.

After that, she became more natural.

Was that a disguise? No... At her age, she's still just a primary school student, so she couldn't possibly understand these things... Even if she were slightly more mature than other primary school students of this age, it wouldn't make sense.

That means, in her eyes, it wasn't a big deal... Did she not care?

"Well, if she doesn't even care, then it probably isn't a big problem..."

The most likely explanation is that he really had a nightmare...

"Let's go back. Let's get back to drawing the concept art..."

Last night, he entered the world of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" once again... and then—once again became the policeman named Jerry... starting all over again!

However, just like before, one night was simply not enough for him to reach the crucial part of his dream.

So, before the plot could unfold, he had already woken up.

The important thing is tonight—

Tonight is the time to face Dior once again—

......

"JOJO—I'm not human anymore!!!"

With a roar from Dio, he donned the Stone Mask once more and became a vampire.

Everything is just as it was before—

"Go to hell, Jerry!"

Dio charged straight at Kurokawa Kazuya, grabbing at his head!

brush--

"Huh? You dodged it? You actually dodged my attack, DIO?" Seeing Kurokawa Kazuya forcefully bending down to avoid his attack, Dio shouted and charged forward again: "Wryyyyyyyyy——————"

"DIO! I can't let you kill anymore—!!!" Jonathan Joestar roared, grabbing a pure steel spear—a decorative piece in his home that most people couldn't even lift—and charging at DIO.

"Huh? JOJO————!!"

*Pfft*

The spear pierced through DIO's palm, but he blocked it!

"He...he actually blocked it...he actually blocked it even though his palm was pierced—ah! Speaking of which, that guy's wounds...have healed!" Spitwagen said in despair, "Immortality! Complete immortality!"

whoosh-

*Pfft*

Just then, Kurokawa Kazuya also moved. His gun was empty; it was unclear how many bullets he had used on Dio. He picked up a similarly decorated sword lying nearby—

He could still swing that thing, and he swung it directly at Dio's head!

but--

Just like Jonathan, DIO caught the sword!

Completely ignoring the injury on his hand, he grabbed it directly!

"Weak, weak!" DIO laughed, gripping the tip of his spear with one hand and the blade of his longsword with the other, rejoicing in his own power.

*Pfft*

The next moment, the longsword and spear were snapped in two by his immense strength—

The sword flew towards Kurokawa and Miyako, piercing his arm. The spear tip flew towards Jonathan—stabbing into his shoulder.

"JOJO—" Dio said with a smile, his back to the two of them, "Let me hold on a little longer... let me enjoy this wonderful power a little longer, because I don't know just how powerful this power can be!"
