Crossover Anime: Saiyans Starting from Dreams

He had carefully selected these men, but none of them were qualified to be stand-ins, which made him feel ashamed.

He called away the group of clueless subordinates and summoned a new group of people.

While waiting for the others to arrive, Kiryu also reported some of his recent discoveries to Qin Chuan:

"By the way, Lord Qin Chuan, ever since I became a Stand user, I seem to often see some unclean things..."

You mean the one in the back?

As Qin Chuan spoke, he raised his hand and pointed with his thumb behind him—at the entrance of the bar, there was a huge black evil spirit floating there.

"That's an evil spirit. You can kill it with a substitute."

"So... there really are evil spirits."

Even Kiryu, a tough guy in the underworld, had his eyebrows twitching after hearing Qin Chuan's nonchalant explanation.

After awakening his substitute yesterday, he went inside the bar before leaving and was startled to see that it was filled with countless black shadows.

Some of the shadows floated over and asked him if he could see them. Kiryu instinctively used his Stand to slash them and successfully cut them down.

So when Qin Chuan entered the bar today, he could hardly see any evil spirits anymore, except for one newly born evil spirit floating at the bar entrance.

I'd heard all sorts of urban legends about souls before, but I never imagined they were actually true...

"Wait, Lord Qin Chuan, if some powerful and influential people need to deal with haunted houses, could we...?"

However, Kiryu was, after all, the leader of an organization, and the first thought that came to his mind after learning about this was that it was related to those powerful and influential people.

There are quite a few powerful and wealthy people who are afraid of ghosts. I've heard before that many of them would hire yin-yang masters or priests to exorcise demons in their homes.

Whether those guys are the real deal or not is unknown, but my substitute's ability to exorcise spirits is genuine.

As a gangster, it's impossible to operate without protection, and those powerful and influential people are the best targets.

Kiryu felt that he could take this opportunity to further develop and expand the Kiryu Group.

"Sure, do whatever you want, just try to develop the organization as much as possible."

Qin Chuan nodded, having guessed Kiryu's thoughts, but he didn't intend to stop him.

"Once the organization grows to a certain size, I will need your help to gather intelligence, so please try to recruit some relevant talents."

Of course, Qin Chuan also remembered Saeko Busujima from the kendo dojo, and the meaning behind that name.

Gathering intelligence is still something that needs to be done.

……

"Pochi, little Pochi! Are you alright?"

In an underground music performance space called LiveHouse, Goto Ichiri is woken up by her new friend, Ichi Niji Natsumi.

Although Goto Ichiri wasn't asleep, her dazed expression made it seem as if she were.

"What's wrong with Xiao Boqi? He was perfectly normal when he left yesterday, so why is he acting so absent-minded today?"

Ichi Nijika looked at Goto Ichiri, who had barely come to her senses, with a worried expression.

"Did something happen? You can't come to work tomorrow looking like this."

A few days ago, Ichiri Goto was brought here by Niji Natsumi Ijichi, and they formed a group called the End Band, which they plan to perform here.

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, the performance was not very successful, so he realized that it would be difficult to reach the quota by performing alone, and he had to work part-time to make up for the shortfall.

Goto Ichiri is socially awkward, making her work is worse than death for her, so Ijichi Nijika decided to let Goto Ichiri start working at this store next week, so that she can have a familiar environment.

But now it seems that with Goto Ichiri's strange condition, it will be difficult for her to find a part-time job.

"Is the guitar broken?"

Another band member sitting next to him, Ryo Yamada, made a very calm guess.

"No, I think Pochi's guitar is perfectly fine."

Nijika Ichi glanced at the guitar that Ichiri Goto had brought; it seemed to be perfectly fine.

"She must have a crush on someone."

Ryomi Yamada made a wrong guess the first time, and immediately made a second guess—but Nijika Ijichi saw through it and realized that she was just guessing blindly.

However, as soon as she said that, Goto Ichiri's ears immediately picked up the word "boy," and then the image of the boy she had last seen came to mind.

It's Qin Chuan.

"Ughhhhhh! I didn't say anything, please have mercy on me!"

The next moment, Goto Ichiri reacted as if on cue, scurrying away with his head in his hands, startling both Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo.

"Liang... This commotion, rather than indicating a crush, seems more like the presence of a boy he's afraid of?"

Seeing Goto Ichiri's reaction, Ichika noticed that while Goto often exhibited strange behaviors due to social anxiety, her reaction this time was still a bit too intense.

Chapter 85 The Overly Weak Goto Ichiri

"Very good. From today onwards, you will stay by my side for the time being."

After several changes of personnel, Kiryu finally found another person with Stand potential among his subordinates, and with the help of Arrow, successfully awakened his Stand.

Moreover, the Stand is a close-range power Stand, and like Blackbird, it is humanoid, which makes Kiryu a little envious.

Kiryu was quite satisfied because another Stand user had finally been born—although this subordinate wasn't one of his favorites, now that he had become a Stand user, his influence had increased.

He chose to bring this new Stand user with him as an important member of his campaign.

"As long as you do a good job, you will be the vice leader of the Kiryu Group in the future. Don't let me and Lord Qin Chuan down."

"Yes! I understand!"

The new Stand user was originally just a minor figure in the Kiryu Group, but now that he has suddenly gained the power of a Stand and the appreciation of his boss, he is naturally overjoyed.

Of course, despite the surge of enthusiasm in his heart, he still dared not show the slightest disrespect when facing Qin Chuan, and was even more respectful.

After all, after awakening his Stand, he watched helplessly as Qin Chuan's Stand separated a small crow that flew into his ear and perched on his brain.

Qin Chuan could kill him with a single thought if he wanted to, so he was naturally both grateful and fearful of Qin Chuan.

"A regular melee-type Stand... that'll do."

Just like when he faced Kiryu's Stand before, Qin Chuan tore off a piece from the arm of this new Stand, had the black bird devour it, and gained its power.

To Qin Chuan's disappointment, this Stand didn't have any special abilities; it was just a pure melee Stand. The only thing worth mentioning was its A-level power and speed.

In fact, there are quite a few Stands in the original JOJO series that don't have any special abilities, such as Silver Chariot and Gray Tower, which fight purely based on their stats and appearance.

Although he doesn't have any special abilities, his strength and speed are already far beyond that of ordinary people. As long as he's not surrounded by firearms, he should be able to fight his way in and out of the enemy ranks seven times over.

"It seems that you two are the only ones in the Kiryu Group with Stand qualifications."

Qin Chuan looked at Kiryu and the newly awakened Stand user and said.

"Strive to expand your influence and bring other forces under your control. As long as you have more people, new people with Stand potential will always appear."

"Yes, we will try our best."

Kiryu bowed again to Qin Chuan and said respectfully.

With the power of Stand users, one can continuously expand one's influence, and as influence expands, new Stand users can be added.

Kiryu certainly hopes to see more of this virtuous cycle.

……

"That's all for today, Pochi. Remember to come to work tomorrow."

After all, Goto Ichiri usually acts so unreliable that Ichiri Nijika is afraid that Goto Ichiri will forget about her important part-time job.

In response, Goto Ichiri could only awkwardly smile and wave, before leaving in a disheveled state.

It might be a bit strange to describe Goto Ichiri as being in a sorry state, but her actions do easily give people that impression.

It was getting dark, and Goto Ichiri had to hurry back for dinner—her house was a bit far from here, and she needed to get to the subway station quickly.

However, Goto Ichiri stopped shortly after walking out.

She had returned to the entrance of the bar she had mistakenly entered that morning, and now there was music playing inside, indicating that it was time for the regulars to gather.

Whether it was the atmosphere of these lively people in the bar, or the memory of what happened this morning, Goto Ichiri was a little hesitant to move, afraid that she might bump into someone she shouldn't be seeing at any moment.

"It...it can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"

Goto Ichiri's expression twitched. He secretly mustered his courage and jogged to rush past the bar's entrance to avoid any further contact with the place.

Sprint, sprint!

However, just as she started running, the bar door opened and a figure walked out—coincidentally, right in the path of Goto Ichiri's run.

Bang!

As expected, Goto Ichiri's body crashed straight into Qin Chuan, who had just come out of the bar.

Logically speaking, Goto Ichiri, who was running and carrying a heavy guitar case on her back, should have been able to knock over any ordinary person, even if she was a girl...

Unfortunately, Qin Chuan was no ordinary person. Goto Ichiri felt as if he had crashed into an unmoving wall, and he fell backward.

"Ok?"

Qin Chuan was somewhat surprised. When he came out, he naturally sensed that "qi" was approaching, but he thought that the other party would stop.

But unexpectedly, Goto Ichiri kept his head down and didn't see anyone coming out in front of him at all. He just crashed straight into Qin Chuan and ended up being knocked over by him.

Both attempts to perceive "qi" were thwarted by Goto Ichiri's various social anxieties, leaving Qin Chuan momentarily speechless.

"Be careful when you walk, and don't keep your head down all the time."

Qin Chuan's reaction speed was naturally beyond that of ordinary people. Just as Goto Ichiri was about to fall, Qin Chuan reached out and grabbed her hand, barely preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Ah...yes, it's you..."

Goto Ichiri was pulled up and then saw clearly who she had bumped into.

Her face flushed slightly, probably because Qin Chuan had looked quite handsome when he pulled her up, but her face was quickly covered by fear again.

"I'm so sorry..."

Looks like she's thinking about something terrifying again—a common trait of social anxiety: overthinking.

"You really need to change your personality."

Although Qin Chuan found Goto Ichiri's personality quite interesting when he first encountered it in the work, to be honest, it was only after actually interacting with him in 2.4 that he realized how troublesome this personality was.

She can hardly communicate normally, her voice is soft, she often falls into self-doubt while talking, and she often imagines strange things and then breaks down.

Qin Chuan originally wanted to teach her personality a little, and then awaken a substitute for her to see if it could be of any use.

Looking back now, the few people in the original work who could have a proper conversation with her were truly incredibly patient.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

As expected, Goto Ichiri trembled and began apologizing again, his expression still filled with panic as he looked at Qin Chuan.

The respectful attitude of the group of people she saw at the bar this morning towards Qin Chuan came back to her mind. She looked at Qin Chuan with a somewhat confused expression.

"Please...please don't sink me into Tokyo Bay..."

Chapter 86 Pochettino, the Target

Qin Chuan ended up taking the same subway train as Goto Ichiri.

In fact, the two of them took the same subway train when they arrived at Shimokitazawa Station. However, Goto Ichiri's house was farther from Shimokitazawa, so they did not board the train at the same station.

According to Goto Ichiri, her home was far from Shimokitazawa and her school because she wanted to attend a school where she didn't know anyone.

Now, the two boarded the same subway train, and Qin Chuan unceremoniously sat down next to Goto Ichiri.

"Are you always like this?"

Qin Chuan looked at Goto Ichiri sitting next to him. The guy was still looking down, trembling all over, and looked very scared.

"Well...not entirely..."

Goto Ichiri looked as if he might cry at any moment, and his voice was hoarse.

Although she is usually very shy, she was acting quite differently today.
