Jiang Lianqiu sat on a sofa. Across from him, Lisa Lisa's gaze was a mess as she sorted through her thoughts.
After a long while, the woman well past fifty finally came back to her senses. She vigorously rubbed her face and stared at Jiang Lianqiu with an incredulous look.
"Sorry, even though you've said so, I still find it hard to believe. You all truly came from a world eighty years in the future!?"
Compared to before, Lisa Lisa was now far more respectful toward Jiang Lianqiu.
As for why, one only had to look at the group of Soldiers around them. Clad in silver-white combat suits, they gave off not the slightest trace of living presence when they stood silently.
It wasn't as though Lisa Lisa had never seen soldiers before. Her late husband, Joseph's father, had even been an Air Force pilot during his lifetime.
But soldiers like these...
Lisa Lisa merely swept her gaze over the Soldiers stationed throughout the hall and immediately knew that they were killing machines who would not hesitate in the slightest once they acted.
The occasional looks they gave her and the others did not resemble the way one looked at a living person at all.
"That question isn't important. What matters is that we came to this time period while tracking Dio. Of course, right now, I'm more interested in the Yellow Seal Holy Emblem you mentioned earlier."
Jiang Lianqiu hadn't expected this trip to bring another pleasant surprise.
In the original timeline, the Carcosa Cult seemed to have completely gone into hiding. The spy Mech Servant Belfast had arranged had never received any messages from the cult's High-Level Officials.
"I want to know whether the 'madmen' you mentioned earlier were the Carcosa Cult?"
Sure enough, Lisa Lisa's pupils contracted slightly.
Although she did her best to control her microexpressions, Jiang Lianqiu, whose five senses were now astonishingly sharp, still caught that detail.
Jiang Lianqiu could not help turning to look at the adjacent table some distance away.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was currently staring dumbfoundedly at Utaha Kasumigaoka, who sat before him leisurely sipping tea. "Are you really my granddaughter?"
He touched his own face again, unable to believe it. "A crooked-looking guy like me actually has such a beautiful granddaughter!?"
The senior found it hard to imagine that the kind and benevolent grandfather in her memories had been so unreliable in his youth.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
"Ohoho!? Grandson! Come give me a hug!"
"You're so damn loud, old man!"
"Come on, give me a hug!"
"Ora Ora Ora Ora—!"
They were fighting! Jotaro Kujo and the younger Joseph were fighting!
The two were locked in a stalemate. Jotaro Kujo finally had enough and turned to shout at Lisa Lisa, "Hey! You old hag over there! How did you raise that old man!?"
"Pfft—!"
Lisa Lisa spat out a mouthful of black tea and glared murderously at Jotaro Kujo. "Old hag!?"
"Is that how you speak to your great-grandmother!?"
This time, it was Joseph's turn to be dumbfounded.
Even now, he still had no idea that Lisa Lisa was his Mother.
"W-Wait—you're my mom!?" Joseph unknowingly released Jotaro Kujo's hand and stared blankly at Lisa Lisa.
"Tch!"
Having let it slip in her emotional agitation, Lisa Lisa clicked her tongue and studied Jotaro Kujo for a moment.
"You there, turn around and let me see the back of your neck."
When she saw the star-shaped birthmark on the back of Jotaro Kujo's neck, Lisa Lisa was certain. He truly carried the bloodline of the Joestar Family.
Taking a deep breath, Lisa Lisa, who knew that Joseph was currently the only direct descendant of the Joestar Family in this world, finally completely believed Jiang Lianqiu's words.
Looking at Jiang Lianqiu again, Lisa Lisa said seriously, "Sir... what is it you wish to know?"
