The girls who had left the band, probably because of Qin Chuan, no longer ignored Kato Megumi, so Kato Megumi was happy to spend time with them.
Although this completely changes Kato Megumi's experience from the original work—from making new friends through games to making new friends through a band—it's not so bad, is it?
I wonder if Megumi Kato will ever consider joining the band.
Although they wanted Qin Chuan to come along, he had already made plans to meet Yukino Yukinoshita and Miko Yotsuya after school, so they could only let them go and have fun on their own.
……
In the Service Department's room, Miko Yotsuya sat in a chair, glancing at the door every now and then, looking quite anxious.
Lately, she's felt there are more and more evil spirits outside, and almost only the school and that special road to school remain clean, so she's eager to find the person who exorcises spirits at the school.
She wanted to know if the other party had a way to solve her problem. She didn't need to get rid of the evil spirit; she just wanted to be able to stop seeing it.
Yukino Yukinoshita said she had contacted the person "who might be related to the person she was looking for," but it had been more than ten minutes since school ended and no one had come to the Service Club's door yet.
"There's no need for Yotsuya to be in such a hurry. Many people have things to take care of after school, so it's impossible for them to rush here right after school."
Yukino Yukinoshita was sitting in her seat reading a book, but when she saw Miko Yotsuya looking towards the door every minute, she couldn't help but sigh.
“Since he has already made an appointment to come, he will not go back on his word, so you can rest assured about that.”
School has only been over for a dozen minutes, but Yotsuya Miko runs to the Service Club's office almost as soon as school is over, even earlier than Club President Yukino Yukinoshita.
This made Yukino Yukinoshita somewhat worried about Miko Yotsuya's mental state—she didn't think the evil spirit theory was true, but she felt that Miko Yotsuya might have indeed suffered more severe psychological trauma.
In fact, the reason Qin Chuan was called here this time was because Qin Chuan had previously said that he could solve Yotsuya Miko's problem.
For Yukino Yukinoshita, who believes in science and not superstition, she thinks that Qin Chuan's "solving the problem" must mean that there is a way to restore Yotsuya Miko's mental state.
"Is Qin Chuan very familiar with Yukinoshita?"
Yotsuya Miko realized she had been too hasty, so she quickly sat up straight and asked Yukino Yukinoshita another question.
Because Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to know very well that Qin Chuan would keep his promise, Yotsuya Miko was a little curious.
She had heard of Yukino Yukinoshita and Qin Chuan, both of whom were quite famous at school—especially Qin Chuan, who had recently been the subject of much discussion because of his relationship with a girl from Shuchiin Academy.
However, she had never heard of any connection between Yukino Yukinoshita and Qin Chuan.
The fact that Yukino Yukinoshita and Hata were seen together near the soccer field initially caused some rumors among the soccer club members, but these were quickly suppressed by Shizuka Hiratsuka.
As for Yotsuya Miko, who doesn't particularly enjoy gossiping about other classmates, she naturally didn't know much about this matter.
"We're not particularly familiar with each other. His friend made a request before, and I helped him complete that request."
Yukino Yukinoshita paused in her hand holding the book, then answered in a calm tone.
"After that, I helped him a little... I guess you could say we were classmates who could talk to each other."
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door of the Service Club. Qin Chuan opened the door and walked in, smiling as he said to Yukino Yukinoshita:
"I heard you guys talking about me as soon as I got to the door."
"You've arrived. This must be Miko Yotsuya."
Upon seeing Qin Chuan arrive, Yukino Yukinoshita nodded—although her expression remained calm, a slight curve could be faintly seen at the corner of her mouth.
"Hello, Qin Chuan."
When Yotsuya Miko saw Qin Chuan walk in, she stood up a little nervously—but soon, she sensed that Qin Chuan was emanating an aura that was different from that of ordinary people.
Qin Chuan narrowed his eyes as well, realizing her special qualities upon seeing her.
However, unlike Yotsuya Miko, who sensed something herself, it was the "arrow" that Qin Chuan had hanging on his chest that immediately moved as it approached Yotsuya Miko.
The feeling was as if it were about to break free from the ropes Qin Chuan had used to bind it, almost flying out and piercing through Yotsuya Miko's body.
Qin Chuan certainly couldn't let the arrow do something so outrageous in front of Yukino Yukinoshita, so the moment he sensed the "arrow" was about to fly out, Qin Chuan summoned the "Black Bird".
Without hesitation, the blackbird reached out and pressed the "arrow" firmly against Qin Chuan's chest, preventing it from escaping.
To those who cannot see the Stand, Qin Chuan appears unchanged, and Yukino Yukinoshita is unaware that the arrow pendant under Qin Chuan's clothes is struggling frantically.
But this scene was a completely different picture in Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
"Qin... Qin Chuan, what's this...?"
In Yotsuya Miko's field of vision, a black figure wearing a cowboy hat and covered with a bird feather shawl appeared next to Qin Chuan and placed his hand on Qin Chuan's chest.
Clearly, even though she's not a Stand user yet, Yotsuya Miko can see Stands—this is the most unusual case Qin Chuan has seen so far.
Even Trish, who possessed Stand potential in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 5, could only see some shadows of Stands before awakening his own, without being able to see anything more concrete.
"interesting."
Upon hearing Yotsuya Miko's statement, Qin Chuan knew that she had indeed seen his stand-in "Black Bird," and she saw it very clearly, not just a shadow.
She has far more potential than Gabriel and Vinette, the angel and demon, respectively.
Thinking of this, Qin Chuan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita and said with a smile:
"I think I have a way to solve Yotsuya Miko's problem, but I may have to take her somewhere else."
"what?"
Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned; she hadn't expected Qin Chuan to take Yotsuya Miko away alone.
"Are you... sure you want to help her solve the problem?"
Chapter 214 The "Price" of Awakening a Substitute
It's no wonder that Yukino Yukinoshita would have such a misunderstanding; Miko Yotsuya is indeed a cute girl, the type who might be approached by strangers at any time.
Yukino Yukinoshita originally thought that what Qin Chuan meant by "solving the problem" was to help Yotsuya Miko adjust her mental state, but now it seems that's not the case.
Just as Yukino Yukinoshita was wondering if Qin Chuan had developed some other feelings for Yotsuya Miko, Yotsuya Miko spoke up:
"It's alright, Yukinoshita-san. I think Qin Chuan-san can solve my problem."
That's right, after seeing the "black bird" behind Qin Chuan, she realized that the one who had been dealing with evil spirits at the school was Qin Chuan.
Although she initially mistook the figure behind Qin Chuan for some kind of evil spirit, it now seems that this "evil spirit" is clearly under Qin Chuan's control.
Having finally met someone who might be able to solve her problem, Yotsuya Miko was naturally overjoyed, so she unconditionally accepted Qin Chuan's request.
"This……"
When Yukino saw the look on Yotsuya Miko's face, as if she had found a savior, she was also a little troubled for a moment.
I initially thought it might be psychological counseling, but now it seems to have completely changed its nature.
However, since Yotsuya Miko had no objections, Yukino Yukinoshita Yukinoshita seemed to have no grounds to stop them, so she could only sigh and say:
"Alright, I still believe in Qin Chuan... but I hope you can tell me the results later. After all, Yotsuya also made a request to the Service Club, so I need to confirm the final result."
……
After leaving the Service Department's office, Qin Chuan brought Yotsuya Miko to the rooftop.
Unfortunately, after school, almost every classroom is occupied by students who have nothing to do, so it's difficult to find an empty room to use.
So, just like Eriri before him, after failing to find an empty classroom, he thought of the rooftop.
Anyway, I've gotten quite familiar with going to the rooftop at lunchtime these past few days, so going there again after school shouldn't be a problem, right?
And so, Qin Chuan and Yotsuya Miko entered the rooftop—to prevent anyone from accidentally entering, Qin Chuan even locked the rooftop door.
"Qin Chuan, did you kill all those evil spirits in the school?"
Seeing that Qin Chuan had locked the door, Yotsuya Miko's heart was racing a little, but she still quickly asked the question she had always wanted to know.
"If the evil spirits you're talking about are those things that keep asking me if I can see them, then I definitely took them down."
Qin Chuan nodded; he had guessed why Yotsuya Miko had come to see him this time.
To be honest, it would have been even better if another evil spirit had appeared at that moment to help him out, and it would have been more convincing to have "Blackbird" tear an evil spirit apart on the spot.
Unfortunately, Qin Chuan had already cleaned up all the evil spirits in the school.
However, Yotsuya Miko clearly didn't care about that. Seeing that Qin Chuan had admitted it, her eyes shone with even more hope.
"Um... actually, I'm being tormented by evil spirits right now..."
……
After pouring out her grievances, Yotsuya Miko finally told Qin Chuan everything that had happened to her during this period.
Just like what Qin Chuan saw in the work before he transmigrated, Yotsuya Miko suddenly became able to see evil spirits some time ago, and was constantly asked by the evil spirits if she could see them.
Although she didn't know the reason why these evil spirits harmed people, Yotsuya Miko knew from listening to them that if she answered "I can see them," the outcome would definitely not be good.
So she pretended not to see the evil spirits all this time, even when they were right in front of her, she could only pretend to be indifferent.
After this state continued for a while, she felt that she was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
It wasn't until recently, when she suddenly discovered that all the evil spirits in the school had disappeared, that she finally felt like she had found a glimmer of hope, and eventually found Qin Chuan through Yukino Yukinoshita.
"So, Qin Chuan, do you have any ideas on how to solve my current problem?"
Yotsuya Miko sat on the bench, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and grab Qin Chuan's arms, asking somewhat nervously.
"Please, please help me solve this problem, even if it's just to make me unable to see those evil spirits, I'll do anything!"
That's a statement that could easily lead to the wrong interpretation.
"Making you unable to see evil spirits might be a bit difficult... but if it's just about solving the problem of not being able to deal with evil spirits, it's quite simple."
Qin Chuan looked at Yotsuya Miko, raised his hand and pointed with his thumb at the "black bird" next to him, and said.
"You should be able to see the figure next to me, right?"
·· ··Requesting flowers··· 0
"...Yes, what is this? Is it also a type of evil spirit?"
Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, then nodded—she had seen it the moment Qin Chuan summoned the "Black Bird" in the Service Department.
However, she wisely refrained from asking until Qin Chuan seemed ready to reveal the matter to her, at which point she dared to ask.
Perhaps she had become overly cautious due to the influence of the evil spirits, for even when mentioning "blackbird," her tone was hesitant.
“This is called a ‘stand.’ My stand is called ‘Blackbird.’ As you can see, it is the embodiment of spirit and soul, and therefore can attack evil spirits.”
As Qin Chuan spoke, "Blackbird" released its hand that had been pressing on Qin Chuan's chest—the "arrow" flew out of Qin Chuan's collar like a wild dog that had broken free, and shot towards Yotsuya Miko's forehead.
...... ........ 0
However, even though Qin Chuan caught him—although awakening a Stand requires an "arrow," stabbing him in the forehead was still a bit too extreme.
"This...is this?"
Startled by the arrow that suddenly flew out of Qin Chuan's collar, Yotsuya Miko almost fell off the bench.
However, seeing that the arrow was caught by "Blackbird" in time, she asked with some curiosity.
"This 'arrow' can also awaken your Stand and make you a Stand user."
Qin Chuan looked at Yotsuya Miko with a smile. He was also quite curious about what kind of abilities Yotsuya Miko would have after awakening her Stand, given her high Stand aptitude.
However, awakening a Stand comes at a price—after all, Qin Chuan and Yotsuya Miko aren't very close; they're just classmates.
Qin Chuan was indeed very curious about Yotsuya Miko's Stand aptitude, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed:
"Kimi, with your Stand potential, the awakened Stand should be a pretty good ability, and it will also give you the ability to destroy evil spirits on your own... But in exchange, you may have to entrust your future to me."
Qin Chuan wouldn't help someone awaken their Stand just because they're a cute girl—like Hayasaka Ai, if someone awakens their Stand, they have to be prepared to be controlled by Qin Chuan.
He had no intention of engaging in any spiritual energy revival or creating a world of Stand users—the Stand users of this world should naturally be kept under his control.
Chapter 115 The Stand User, Miko Yotsuya
"The rest of my life..."
Yotsuya Miko was stunned; her initial relief turned into tension again.
"What do you mean? Does this mean Qin Chuan is actually a devil, and to solve my problem he has to take my soul or something...?"
"No, it's just that if you want to become a Stand user, you might have to listen to me from now on."
Seeing Yotsuya Miko's frightened expression, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh and say, "He's not a demon. The real demon is still trying to make money to buy back the Doomsday Horn."
"If I need anything in the future, I might ask you to do some things for me, and you might have to take some time to do it for me."
