Chapter 154 - 155: Decision "Yare yare, you woman..." In the corridor, Shinobu stood there a bit uneasily. Seeing Jotaro, her face turned red, she smiled awkwardly and waved her hand, then straightened her face and pretended to be natural. "I didn't intentionally eavesdrop on your conversation. I just wanted to gently remind her about the dosage of the medicine, and it just so happened..." "I know." Jotaro looked at her and interrupted her. This woman was one of the few women he understood, after all, they had been together for a long time. He was clear on what kind of temperament she had, not someone with such bad taste. Shinobu looked at Jotaro's light green eyes and knew the other person didn't misunderstand, and she let out a breath of relief. She didn't want to be treated as a pervert by Jotaro just because she happened to overhear something from the corner of a wall. Just like she said, she only wanted to wait until Akira woke up to remind her how to take the medicine, but unexpectedly heard such bold words. Thinking about it, her snow-like crystal cheeks became even redder. To be honest, in her heart, she was a little envious of Akira, envious of that kind of courage to boldly express love. "She's already awake. If you have something to say, just say it to her directly." "No... no need. Her physical condition is better than I imagined." Shinobu looked at Jotaro faintly, "Moreover, her illness isn't something ordinary medicine can cure." At least she had no way of making the other party recover. And she, who had no experience in love, wasn't good at dealing with girls in a heartbroken state. Thinking again and again, she felt it's better not to disturb Akira. She smiled slightly. "Then I'll take my leave first. Jotaro-san, you still have important matters tomorrow, you should rest early." Gazing at the back of Shinobu as she left, Jotaro said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking. After a long time, he moved and slowly left the corridor. Having been swept into other worlds by the system, up till now, although the world he came from was frozen in time, his own time was still flowing. In the original world, his age was already quite close to eighteen. Adding to that nearly a year in the Demon Slayer world, and more than a year of experience in the Ghoul world, now he was already over twenty years old. He suddenly realized a problem, and that was, he might collapse on the journey before reaching the original world. Even if he didn't die by accident, in the end, he would age and die. During adolescence, all functions of the human body were at their peak. As age increased, even with purposeful training, some abilities would be hard to maintain at their original strength. That is to say, after exceeding a certain age, his situation would become more and more dangerous. It was fine for himself, but what about Shinobu and the others? He simply didn't know how long this journey would still last. Them following him wouldn't only lead to danger but would also waste a woman's most precious youth. Akira was right about one thing, women and men are different. Some things he didn't care about, were extremely important to women. 'Let them stay in this world?' Jotaro shook his head. He indeed didn't like to show his emotions, but it didn't mean he was dull towards love. Nezuko and Shinobu's feelings for him, how could he not sense them? Compared to Akira, the silent companionship of those two moved him even more. They would never agree to stay in this world. Originally, he wanted to finish the journey quickly and send the two back to their own world, but now it was clear, such a thought was unrealistic. As he aged, so did the two of them. Nezuko's visible changes reminded him of this every moment. Originally just a small girl, now she had grown up and become graceful. Her height had already surpassed Shinobu's, although not by much, but it showed she was rapidly growing. The once thirteen-year-old girl had now become a sixteen-year-old beauty. Shinobu needed no mention, she was a few months older than Jotaro. If they continued traveling through different worlds, they might become old and haggard before even returning to their own world. Jotaro had never faced this problem head-on, but Akira's words reminded him, and now he had no choice but to face it. Whether out of responsibility or love for the two of them, perhaps he would marry them both, maybe... "Yare yare..." When he made this decision, Jotaro closed his eyes, a bit helplessly. "Didn't think I'd one day become just like that old man." Just like when Joseph's affair was revealed, and he laughed at the show, now, without needing to think, he could guess, if Joseph knew he had two wives, he would definitely laugh hard at him. Thinking of the old man's annoying laugh, the corner of his mouth curved up slightly. He looked at the dark night outside the window, at least that meant he had returned to the original world. Men of the Joestar family all died young, with this kind of bloodline, it was very likely he'd die on the road home. ——— "I'm uneasy!" Eto raised her head and looked at Jotaro. Just before heading out for negotiations, she suddenly said this. Jotaro remained calm as usual, composed to the extreme. Beside him, Irimi glanced at Eto and said unhappily, "Why are you saying this now?" "The situation has indeed changed, but from the beginning, BOSS planned to use force." "The enemy's power may be stronger than the Washuu clan, but we've also made ample preparations." "I know!" Eto pouted, "But I'm still uneasy!" "What's wrong?" Jotaro frowned, he didn't want someone on his side to mess up at such a critical moment. Eto thought for a moment and said, "I secretly cooperated with a doctor." "Not long ago, he disappeared. Not only that, his research equipment and various research data also vanished completely." "Just a doctor, who cares!" Irimi said coldly. "He's not just an ordinary doctor!" Eto argued. "He was very talented, and I had him conduct research on half-ghoul transformation." As she spoke, she lowered her head like a child who did something wrong. "Back then, I didn't know you yet. I thought only the One-Eyed King could lead ghouls to a new path, so I carried out that research." "Half-ghoul transformation?" "Simply put, it's turning humans into half-ghouls like me." To Jotaro's question, Eto quickly explained. Irimi shook her head. "Such bad taste. Only a lunatic like you could think of something like that." Ignoring Eto stomping her foot angrily, she glanced sideways and asked, "So, what are you uneasy about?" Eto calmed herself and became a bit serious. "Even I couldn't see through that person. What he did might be even more dangerous than I imagined." "His disappearance not long ago was really suspicious!" While the two talked, Jotaro had been thinking on the side. He suddenly asked, "When did he disappear?" "Right after I started cooperating with you." Hearing this, Jotaro's eyes flickered. That indeed was very suspicious. Irimi held her head. "That was so long ago, and you're only saying it now?!" Eto stuck out her tongue lightly, then hugged Jotaro's arm, smiling as she said, "Can't help it~ Who told me to feel so safe beside him. I already tossed this matter out of my head long ago." Jotaro said nothing, pulled his hand out from between Eto's cleavage, glanced over the ghouls behind him, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═❀═ patreon.com/XenosX ????Joining Patreon keeps me motivated and eager to work diligently, so please consider joining.????
