I, the little cat, am a substitute for others who are starving and thin

"You have something to eat too."

Joseph took out a piece of gum and handed it to Iggy.

Iggy stopped barking.

"Mr. Joestar."

Abdel reached out and grabbed Joseph's arm.

"Ah, I understand. So before that, could you please get some sleep? It won't be dangerous."

Joseph gently placed a glass cover on the cage and stepped aside to allow the employee who was forced to become a programmer to inject the appropriate amount of anesthetic into the cover.

He was going to get on a plane soon, and if he let these two powerful kittens start a fight there, he would have to relive the tense moments of his youth.

Ichi fainted without any resistance. After relaxing, he finally subconsciously canceled the ability of the Cat-Cat Fruit and turned into the Boston Terrier that Joseph and the others knew.

Seeing this, Joseph also praised: "Before falling unconscious, he activated his Stand ability to transform himself into a dog to intimidate the enemy? Although he is just a cat, he is a natural warrior."

But Yimi was unmoved and lay in another corner of the cage, biting the piece of meat that Jonathan put in.

"Eh? This relatively well-behaved cat isn't unconscious, and it's even looking up at us with a 'did you do something?' expression... I'm totally worried."

If Yimi faints here, she can actually unlock the achievement "Hanma Yujiro".

"It seems that as long as there is food, it won't move. It has already eaten two bowls of cat food. Is its stomach a bottomless pit?"

-

Although psychological anxiety was inevitable, I was able to bring it back safely.

About four years ago, in 1983, a fishing boat salvaged a Western-style coffin from the sea, which contained the remains of Jonathan's generation... Actually, it was just Dio Brando, the old enemy since Joseph's grandfather.

Just like how Dio jumped out of the coffin, he was a vampire, a vampire transformed from a human. Joseph had been an enemy of this kind in his youth, and he had defeated the strongest vampire among them.

Even so, Joseph did not dare to be careless. On the one hand, he neglected to practice the 'Ripple Qigong' which has the effect of longevity in order to spend his old age with his wife who is just an ordinary person. On the other hand, he had the Hermit Purple on him.

He knew Dio was rescued not through the stories his grandmother told him, but through his telepathic ability. Or more precisely, it was because Dio had awakened his Stand ability that he, possessing Joestar blood, was able to awaken his Stand right after.

Joestar's bloodline is a very metaphysical connection, and Dio, as a vampire, killed Joseph's grandfather with only a head left, and cut off the other's head and occupied his body. In a sense, they are now clearly enemies but are connected by blood.

"Meow."

"Mr. Joseph, the cat food is gone. Three big bags. Even pigs can't eat that much."

Abdel shook the cat food package in his hand and handed the empty bag to Yimi, wanting her to eat it herself.

These despicable humans, seeing that the cat couldn't be anesthetized, insisted on feeding the cat for three hours on the plane, and fed her one pill at a time to control her.

Yimi carefully observed the iron cage. It was a very large cage, so large that an adult could curl up in it. But any cage would definitely have a lock. Even if he didn't use brute force to break it open, it wouldn't be a threat to Yimi.

Koneko looked at the three words "going to heaven" in confusion, which were even more vague than becoming a Hakurei shrine maiden, and had no idea what they meant.

I can only ask someone first. Cats are not allowed to speak as cats, it will scare others.

"Joseph, seriously, where have you been?"

The person asking the question was Joseph's wife Siji Q, a very dignified old lady who gave up the corrugation exercise to grow old with him.

"Why are you here? I'm working."

Joseph did not tell her about DIO because he was afraid that his family would worry.

"Work?"

Siji Q's voice suddenly began to tremble, which puzzled Joseph.

Joseph saw her tremblingly stretch out her finger and pointed behind her: "Is this your job, Joseph? What on earth are you doing behind my back?"

After saying this, she even grabbed the parasol that the servant held for her and hit Joseph with it.

"It hurts, what are you doing?"

Joseph raised his arms to resist, feeling confused and aggrieved, but he saw a subtle expression in the servant's eyes.

He turned his head following the servant's gaze.

In the big iron cage he brought, a pretty little girl was holding the railing and looking at them. She was wearing a cheap-looking short-sleeved shirt and shorts (novice combat uniform) in the cold weather. There was an unconscious dog lying in the corner of the cage with her.

Little girl in a cage with a dog.

"Oh my god! Siji, listen to my explanation!"

Joseph covered his face with his hands, tears in his eyes: "Abdel, hurry up, help me explain!"

Siji Q clenched her fists, calmed down for a moment, and looked at the innocent and pitiful little girl in the cage.

"Well."

Yimi took the cat food that Abdel stuffed into his mouth, stretched out his hand to open the bag that was difficult for a cat to open, took out the remaining cat food and put it in his mouth to chew.

Siji Q is familiar with this cat food. Rich old people will keep some cats and dogs.

Joseph straightened his hat and pointed at Siji Q: "Your next words were 'I didn't expect you, Joseph, to be such a scumbag! Go to hell!'"

"I didn't expect you to be such a scum, Joseph. Go to hell!"

Chapter 5: Are the Enlightened Always Happy?

"You're a very brave cat. I don't know what you've been through, but it must have been tough, right? That's why you have this Stand ability that allows you to transform into a canine."

Abdel showed Ichi a row of white teeth and smiled brightly: "I don't know if you can understand, but we don't plan to keep you locked up forever. From now on, just be a cat without any worries. I won't..."

"Woof woof woof woof!!"

Even though they were separated by an iron cage, Abdel still took a step back.

"No, it doesn't seem to be cooperating."

I don’t know if it’s the ferocious nature of the wild cat itself or the fact that it understands human language but is unwilling to admit that it is a cat.

Compared to Ichi who is still imprisoned here, the other cat that was previously in the same cage with it was treated much better.

Seeing Yiqi screaming, before Yimi could say anything, Siji Q carried her aside.

"Don't be afraid, have a lollipop. Do you want one?"

"think."

"Come, let grandma help you to open it."

"Madam, just leave this matter to me..."

Yimi was held in Siji Q's arms and coaxed, and she was covered with a coat made by Joseph. The weather is still quite cold now, how can a child be allowed to wear only summer clothes?

Ignoring the ears on top of the head and the tail behind the back, the child looks like a white and cute mixed-race child who has only inherited the good qualities.

As for these only two differences, Joseph just regarded them as changes brought about by her stand. In fact, even without the influence of the stand, it was not a scary thing for him who had seen vampires before.

Yimi reached out to grab the lollipop she had peeled, but Siji Q deliberately held it away: "No, no, you have to call me grandma first before I give it to you."

"grandmother."

"Good boy, so cute."

"Huh... I almost got mistaken for one of those vulgar, old men who, even in an expensive, luxurious nursing home, still gets urinals placed on their heads."

Joseph tried to fix his broken prosthetic hand in a panic. Although they had been a loving couple for many years, Siggie Q was really ruthless when she attacked him.

"Really? Who told you not to explain clearly... Oh, you can't eat anything in that bag anymore."

Siji Q snatched the cat food from Yimi's hand, feeling a little ashamed towards her husband.

They have been married for so many years, how can they doubt each other's character?

"I was shocked, too."

Joseph looked at Yimi.

It has been confirmed that she can speak human language. This is actually a little girl who has the ability to turn into a cat.

No, if that's the case, isn't it a very serious kidnapping case to take a little girl on a plane and leave Manhattan without permission?

"Oh shit!"

“Oh shit.”

The kitten followed his example.

"Joseph!"

Siji Q raised the umbrella again.

The crisp childish curse words were the worst sound she had ever heard in her life.

Joseph dodged quickly: "It's just my tone, my tone!"

Siji Q ignored her, lowered her head, and put on a gentle expression: "Don't be afraid, child. Since he brought you back, he must be responsible for sending you back. Where do your parents live?"

"In another world."

Yimi answered honestly.

"Um, do you have grandparents? Or aunts and uncles who raised you?"

"There is grandma, also in another world."

The two old men were silent for a few seconds, and Siji Q asked again: "There must be an adult by your side, right?"

"There is one, Lao Deng."

Yimi answered honestly.

"That doesn't sound like a very nice name. So where is he now?"

Yimi thought for a moment: "Sometimes he's here, sometimes he's not."

"I don't understand at all."

Joseph scratched his head with his repaired prosthetic hand. "So why are you on that street? Is your home address nearby?"

Communicating with children under ten years old is still very difficult.

“I’m traveling.”

Yimi actually didn’t quite understand the word travel, but the system had just introduced that its function was to help the host travel.

She looked at Joseph and began to ask for information: "Do you know where heaven is?"

Joseph squatted down and looked at her. "What an incomprehensible and difficult question! I've almost guessed it, but may I ask why you ask that?"

"I want to go to heaven and go back to my mom and grandma."

"Poor little angel."

Siji Q hugged her tighter, "Oh my God, how could you have the heart to..."

-

"Boinge."

Cairo, Egypt.

The blond man, hidden in the shadows, placed the book back on the shelf and turned his gaze to his most inconspicuous subordinate. By inconspicuous, I don't mean he had an ordinary face, but rather that he looked like a child.

"Master Dididio."

The boy knelt on one knee with his head lowered, not daring to make a sound.

The man he called Dio slowly walked down the shadowed steps and came to his side.

"The ability to predict the future, even I consider it a remarkable Stand. But if it can only 'predict' and cannot interfere with the contents, what is the meaning of such power?"

Boinge's head was shaking, not just out of simple awe, but also because of the other party's terrifying aura.

"Big big big... maybe Coco can be prepared in advance."

“Are the enlightened always happy?”

Dio wrote this sentence in his notes, paused, and then marked a question mark at the end.

He is said to be the mortal enemy of the Joestar family for generations, but in fact, in his eyes, the enemy is not only the Joestar bloodline but also the illusory thing called "fate". For this reason, during the time he walked out of the coffin, he has been collecting ways to "reach heaven".

He even scoffed at the saying "knowing what will happen is happiness". In his eyes, this is not paradise.
