Chapter 310: Fate Favors Kira Yoshikage
The sun hangs high in the east, casting infinite light.
Li Qing not only did not feel warm, but also felt a lingering chill:
In a moment of trance, the heaven and earth changed and the sun moved eastward.
Did he fall asleep for some unknown reason all night, or did time skip half a day?
Or has the whole world undergone unusual changes?
Li Qing was a little confused.
But he adapted quickly:
Anyway, this is not his first time "traveling through time".
Instead of being stunned in an unknown world, it is better to find a way to dispel the fog in front of you as soon as possible.
Therefore, Li Qing immediately thought of a crucial question:
Where have all my companions gone?
Are they all safe?
Li Qing fumbled around his body and unexpectedly found that his cell phone was still there.
He dialed the familiar number without hesitation.
During that brief and tense wait, Giorno's voice came from the speaker:
"Hello, Li Qing?"
"Where are you now? Why did you disappear so early in the morning?"
"Eh?" Li Qing was slightly stunned.
It’s not because there’s anything strange about Giorno’s tone, but because his tone is too relaxed and calm.
It seemed that the strange events of heaven and earth changing and time leaping had never happened to him.
"Where are you? And the others, is everyone safe now?"
Li Qing did not answer, but asked about everyone's whereabouts with great concern.
Giorno heard the anxiety hidden in Li Qing's words.
His tone also became serious:
"Of course it's safe."
"We are all at Dongfang's house. We just woke up and are having breakfast now."
"Li Qing, are you in any trouble?"
"You suddenly acted alone this morning. Did you find some clues that could lead to Diablo?"
“…”
Li Qing was silent for a while.
He found that he and Giorno were completely on different wavelengths.
Giorno obviously doesn't have the memory of his strange journey, even...
He can’t even remember what happened yesterday... No... it’s his memory that’s “wrong”!
"Diablo... also found clues..."
"Have we not found Diavolo's whereabouts in Giorno's mind?"
"But that guy was almost beaten to death yesterday!"
"Giorno was there at the time, how could he remember this wrong?"
Li Qing was deeply shocked, and a great deal of uproar ensued:
There is something wrong with this world.
And this matter... is most likely related to Kira Yoshikage!
Li Qing quickly focused his suspicion on the man he had once ignored.
In Li Qing's impression, this man has always been a country villain with decent fighting ability but limited knowledge. He is not valued as much as the members of Diablo's personal guards that he once had.
But now, Li Qing was deeply afraid of this man.
Because he clearly remembered that at that time Diablo had already become a dying useless man, and the situation could no longer be reversed.
But just when he was about to execute Kira Yoshikage... the world changed.
"Kira Yoshikage."
Li Qing asked Giorno on the other end of the phone with great seriousness:
"Since everyone is fine, I will ask one more question."
"Kira Yoshikage, where is this guy now?"
"Kira Yoshikage?"
Giorno's voice became a little strange.
Hearing this voice, Li Qing could even imagine Giorno on the other end of the phone with his brows slightly frowned and worried eyes.
"What?" Li Qing felt something was wrong.
However, Giorno asked in a serious tone on the phone:
"Kira Yoshikage... who is this person?"
※※※
April 6, 8:05.
An ordinary hotel in Morioh-cho, near Kameyu Department Store.
"Good morning, this is Morioh Town Radio."
"I am your neighbor Harada Kai, and today is another refreshing morning..."
Melodious music and a relaxed male voice played from the radio in the hotel room.
Kira Yoshikage stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, meticulously adjusting his neat and stylish white suit and tidying up his smooth and shiny golden hair.
Until there is not a single wrinkle on the suit and the hair is not a bit messy.
He smiled and stroked his bulging pockets:
"Dear Mona Lisa."
"Our new life is about to begin."
Kira Yoshikage's smile was extremely relaxed, just like every relaxed and ordinary morning in the past ten years.
However, at this moment, his cell phone started buzzing like an agitated little beast.
Kira Yoshikage frowned slightly.
He picked up the phone, and as soon as the call was connected, a gloomy and serious voice came out:
"Kira Yoshikage."
"Do you know what happened yesterday?"
"It was the evening of April 5th just a few minutes ago, and I was still struggling to survive under the feet of Lee Sin and Jotaro."
"Why did I appear in my residence in Morioh Town unscathed in the blink of an eye, and why did time jump to the next day?"
The one who spoke was Diablo.
His tone was extremely cold, but even ordinary people could tell that behind this coldness was an unsuppressible surprise and fear.
Even the once invincible Dark Emperor could not accept the shock brought about by the changes in the world.
What surprised Diablo even more was that when he was still at a loss...
Kirara Yoshikage, the rookie Stand user whom he once looked down upon, actually answered him in a calm tone that showed he was in control of everything:
"Diabolo, you still have memories of me."
"That's good. It seems that you are indeed my comrade on the same front."
"W-what?"
Diablo was horrified.
He heard the earth-shattering truth from Kira Yoshikage's words:
"It's you. You did all this?"
"How is that possible... Your Stand's abilities are only capable of creating explosions and controlling toy cars!"
"How could you heal my injuries in an instant and allow time to come to the next day?"
"Wait, could it be..."
Diablo suddenly fell silent.
He thought of the only possibility, the mysterious power that he had always regarded as a life-saving straw:
"Kira Yoshikage, you used the power of 'arrow'?!"
"I didn't use the arrows."
"The arrow chose me."
Kira Yoshikage indirectly acknowledged Diavolo's guess with awkward words.
"This!" Diablo on the other end of the phone was so angry that his eyes were about to burst:
The ultimate power he had always dreamed of was actually taken away by such an unknown extra? !
"Put away your useless jealousy."
Kira Yoshikage's demeanor completely changed.
He no longer had the panic, fear and powerlessness he had felt yesterday when he bowed his head in front of the strong.
What replaced it was a kind of unprecedented confidence.
Diavolo knew that he once had this kind of confidence when he was still known as invincible.
But now, he could only listen to the "little brother" he had just recruited giving him instructions in an unquestionable tone:
"Indeed, my Killer Queen has awakened the ultimate ability of 'Third Bomb'."
"I know you will be unwilling, so..."
"Diabolo, I will give you the arrow."
"I'll leave this arrow in my hotel room. You can come and get it anytime."
"Not only that, I will also teach you how to use arrows--"
Kirara Yoshikage paused for a moment and said meaningfully:
"The method is not difficult, it just depends on whether you dare to try it."
Diablo simply ignored the last sentence.
He was excited and suspicious at the same time: "Why did you give me the arrow so readily?"
"Arrows are no longer of any use to me."
Kira Yoshikage answered very frankly:
"And since this 'world' has allowed you to retain my memory and saved your life."
"That means you have gained my approval."
"We are on the same side now. Your presence will only help me. It doesn't matter if I give you the arrow."
This is indeed the case.
Diablo put aside his instinctive suspicion and asked excitedly:
"How powerful the arrow is."
"What ability have you awakened?"
"Is it the same time reduction as mine?"
When he said this, Diablo's tone was like that of a neighbor kid who smelled the aroma of fried chicken legs next door, feeling greedy and jealous.
His Crimson King can only slash for a dozen seconds at a time.
You can actually jump directly to the next day?
If you compare yourself to others, you will die; if you compare goods, you will be thrown away.
The Crimson King beside him suddenly stopped smelling good.
But Kira Yoshikage's answer was surprising:
"No, my ability is not to cut away time."
"If I must say——"
"That means fate favors me, Kira Yoshikage!"
"At the most desperate moment in my life, it responded to my most sincere wish!"
Kira Yoshikage's voice suddenly became passionate:
"Because yesterday when Li Qing broke in, it was a complete nightmare for me."
"So fate sent down its divine power to free me from the nightmare and sent me to today, to a perfect world created for me, Kira Yoshikage!"
"In the present and the future starting at 8 a.m. on April 6th..."
"Neither the extremely troublesome Li Qing nor his equally difficult companions will be a threat to me anymore!"
"I, Kira Yoshikage...want to live an ordinary, happy life!"
After this round of obscure and fierce declarations, Kira Yoshikage finally calmed down.
He carefully adjusted his cuffs, walked to the bedside and picked up the briefcase on the cabinet, while speaking calmly into the phone:
"I've said everything I need to say."
"Li Qing and his companions can no longer hurt me."
"Diabolo, the war from now on will only be between you and Li Qing. It has nothing to do with me, Kirara Yoshikage."
"I hope you can awaken the power of arrows and truly solve these troubles."
"And I, Kira Yoshikage..."
"There are more important things right now."
Kira Yoshikage said this in a deep voice.
At the same time, he walked to the door and put on a pair of shiny leather shoes.
Passing by the bathroom door, he checked his posture in the mirror for the last time.
Diablo was somewhat shocked and puzzled:
"What are you going to do?"
"What is more important than dealing with Li Qing?"
"work."
Kira Yoshikage opened the door and walked out with a smile.
