Who the hell would have thought Kasumigaoka could be connected to JOJO!?
Was that old man Kasumigaoka really that incredible?
"Belfast, we have complete surveillance over the entire Solar System, right?" Jiang Lianqiu asked, his tone somewhat unsteady.
Belfast nodded. "That's right. What is it, Master?"
"Then have you found Kars floating outside Earth? I mean an ultimate life-form that stopped thinking and has been drifting through space like a meteorite..."
Kasumigaoka and Machida Sonoko: "????"
Belfast smiled confidently. "I can absolutely guarantee that there is nothing like that within the Solar System, nor are there any supernatural powers or incidents on Earth—at least, not before that day."
That day naturally referred to the day Jiang Lianqiu turned fifteen.
So Old Man Kasumigaoka's claim that he had taken part in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure had been complete nonsense?
"Say, senior, didn't you ask your grandfather why, if he could fight back and forth alongside JOJO against Kars, he didn't teach you Ripple?"
"How do you know about Ripple?" Utaha Kasumigaoka's eyes widened. "Forget it, I'll ask about that later. When I was little, I innocently asked Grandfather whether I could become as powerful as he claimed, but he said..."
Kasumigaoka explained with an extremely strange expression.
"...To protect the future of the world and prevent humanity from sliding into the Abyss, he and his companions sacrificed humanity's chance to take another path. At that price, they turned the entire world into an ordinary one without superpowers, magic, or all sorts of magical creatures."
"It sounded like he couldn't be bothered anymore. That excuse couldn't have been any more perfunctory. I always treated it as a story."
Thinking of all the bizarre things that had happened recently, Shiyu Kasumigaoka could no longer keep herself together.
"Grandfather wasn't lying, was he?"
"Your old man was quite the legend in his youth." Jiang Lianqiu raised his head, overwhelmed with emotion.
He had cut off Earth's possibility of heading toward the extraordinary?
Old man, even Aleister would have to raise a toast to you for an achievement like that, you know?
At that moment, Jiang Lianqiu could never have imagined that the truth was even more absurd than he thought—and that it was inextricably tied to him.
