I'm the Man You Can't Have / Rohan Kishibe's Decision

"See? Although these wandering shadows are a collection of negative emotions from the masses, they also have their own personalities. There are quite a few cowards among them. As long as you encounter this type of shadow, you can easily get a lot of things out of them."

"Of course, the premise is that you have to have the strength to make them feel desperate, like someone like me."

As long as Miyauchi Hiyage activates his Pure Yang Body, these low-level shadows can feel his aura. Without him saying anything, these shadows, knowing they can't escape, will even come to curry favor with him.

"In short, whether you want to help more people, improve your strength here, or make money with the Impression Space, it's up to you. As long as you don't cause any big commotion, I won't interfere. Even if I write about the Impression Space in my diary in the future, I won't write that it's something I gave you. Do you have any other questions?"

After resolving a young girl's inner conflict and quickly guiding her through the beginner's tutorial, Miyauchi Hiyage planned to step down.

At this point, Matsushita Ayami only had one last question left, "That Death Note Fragment can't possibly compare to the program you gave me, can it? You really don't need me to do anything for you?"

Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand. "It's just out of interest. I was originally thinking of finding a time and opportunity to give this thing away, but it just so happened that I ran into you, you unlucky guy."

"If you really want to thank me, you'd better get stronger quickly. I'm really looking forward to the future potential of your Persona."

Chapter 287: I'm the man you can't have.

The effects of Cognitive Change are immediate.

When Matsushita Ayami and a lot of worthless trinkets, used the Otherworld App under Miyauchi Hiyage's guidance to leave the Impression Space and return to his room, the shouting and cursing downstairs had long since stopped.

She tried to go down to check on her parents, only to find that her mother had already fallen asleep in the bedroom.

You should know that usually after her mother and father had a fight, they would stay in their room and lament for half the night, eventually crying until they couldn't shed any more tears and couldn't fall asleep.

Her stepfather also locked himself in his study without saying a word. It was Miyauchi Hiyage who told her that he was currently rewriting the divorce application and the division of property after the divorce.

When the sun rises tomorrow, their broken family should be able to start anew.

Although she had expressed her gratitude to Miyauchi Hiyage more than once in the Impression Space, seeing the changes in reality, she couldn't help but express her thanks to this You Know Who whose face she couldn't see once again.

Given her personality, she even quite directly revealed that she was willing to become Miyauchi Hiyage's lover if he wanted to.

Such explicit words made Miyauchi Hiyage take a closer look at the girl in front of him.

Although I haven't seen her work, it's quite rare to see a female lead who is so decisive in this regard.

If she hadn't already investigated and known about his clean romantic history, Miyauchi Hiyage would probably have considered her as one of those experienced, promiscuous female protagonists.

"I'm not the kind of animal who'd sleep with someone the moment we meet. If I really wanted to do that, I wouldn't be here in this form," Miyauchi Hiyage waved his hand, telling Matsushita Ayami that she didn't need to do that.

Matsushita Ayami blinked, showing no sign of discouragement. "So, Mr. You Know Who prefers the 'raising' type? Do you mean that as long as I can find your real-life identity, you won't refuse?"

"Let's talk about it if you can actually find it," Miyauchi Hiyage shrugged noncommittally at Matsushita Ayami's inexplicable idea, then gestured to leave.

Matsushita Ayami wanted to keep the other person at his home for a while longer to see if he could get more clues about the other person's identity from him.

But when faced with a woman who had ulterior motives and was lusting after him, Miyauchi Hiyage said, "I think I've given you a lot of clues," and then decisively teleported back to his residence in Beika Town.

Watching the other person leave as silently as they had come, Matsushita Ayami, whose face had previously shown reluctance, silently withdrew his expression.

However, compared to how she used to hide herself like a hedgehog, her mood is actually much more stable now.

After all, so much happened tonight.

By casually following Shinomiya Kaguya, she correctly guessed the location of the You Know Who and obtained the Death Note, which could control the life and death of others. After hesitating for a long time before deciding to write her stepfather's name on the paper, she actually attracted the You Know Who directly.

Finally, there was the Otherworld App that the You Know Who used to make a deal with her. In less than an hour, the complicated situation in her home was resolved by the other party in a bizarre way.

Even she herself, after successfully persuading her mother to give up her obsession with that man, resolved her inner conflict and gained that incredible power called "Persona".

Judging from the You Know Who's attitude, it seems that Tomoe Gozen, whom she awakened, still has many secrets. According to the person, after she is fully trained, she may be able to unleash combat power of at least Special Grade in the Impression Space.

If she encounters some extraordinary event in the future, she might even have the chance to summon Tomoe Gozen in reality.

Matsushita Ayami felt that the other person had subconsciously glanced at the back of her hand several times while saying this, but she didn't know what it meant.

But she didn't have the energy to think about it carefully anymore.

While the You Know Who was still around, she remained tense and excited, and kept maintaining a Ripple Breathing pattern to stay alert.

Now that the other person is gone, the exhaustion she felt after awakening her Persona overwhelmed her, and all she wanted to do was get a good night's sleep.

Let's talk about sharing my Impression Space with the girls in the Chat Group tomorrow after I wake up.

The You Know Who probably wouldn't think they were slacking off just because they slept in.

Thinking this, Matsushita Ayami, who had changed her name back to Sudo Ayami, fell into a sweet sleep after more than half a year.

Miyauchi Hiyage couldn't figure out anything from the Death Note Fragment, but he could sense that it was connected to the Law of Calamity in the world. However, since it involved the power of laws, the thing behind it should be the laws of death in this world.

Miyauchi Hiyage tried it out. Although the Mana in his body was not yet massive, it was already quite substantial compared to a standard level one Sorcerers like Kento Nanami.

With his current Mana, he could only barely project one page at a time, and each time he wrote a name on it, he had to consume a large number of names again.

Most importantly, this thing has quite a few limitations in the realm of the extraordinary. Although this fragment would definitely be considered a Special Grade Cursed Tool in Jujutsu High, using so much Mana just to kill someone who can be killed by conventional methods (suicide methods that ordinary people can perform and the default cardiac arrest) from a distance is not very worthwhile for Miyauchi Hiyage.

With so much Mana wasted, Miyauchi Hiyage would be better off projecting more fragments that could activate Stands. Those things also contain the power of laws, but they are much more harmless. Maybe one day Miyauchi Hiyage can even find a way to evolve his Stand again.

Besides, if he really wanted to kill someone, with the Impression Space right here, eliminating a villain would be too easy for him.

Even if he were to assassinate someone in real life, it would be much easier than using the Death Note.

It can be said that the most precious part of this thing is the power of the laws it contains.

Miyauchi Hiyage could think of was that when his realm was higher in the future, he would be able to infuse these laws into his projected weapons, and then create weapons with instant-death effects.

As for now, let's leave that for Tohru to come back and study slowly.

However, Tohru was in a hurry to go back to his hometown to call for reinforcements after obtaining the projected version of the Soul Crystal. It's unclear when he will be able to return to take over the increasingly heavy research work from Miyauchi Hiyage.

Fortunately, besides Tohru, Miyauchi Hiyage also has Jerry as an assistant and Shadow Yuuko as a useful lab rat, so it's not a problem to have them help share some of the research work.

He now plans to stuff meteorite fragments into Shadow Yuuko's body to see if she can awaken her Stand on the spot.

Chapter 288: Kishibe Rohan's Decision

[I spent a night exploring Kishibe Rohan with Morioh, and we also visited some places with ghost stories to verify them. We initially confirmed that this world is based on the worldview of Kishibe Rohan's manga.]

It can only be said that Kishibe Rohan in this world view can indeed be considered the author's alternate account, as he receives top-notch treatment in every aspect.

Moreover, because he gained the ability of a Stand from a young age, he learned to control his power early on, and his personality was not as bad as when he first appeared in the original work. Although the main reason is that his Stand is ineffective against me with my mental defenses at maximum.

In short, after showing him the comics and letting him know the concept of Stands, he created the prototype of the Stand in one night, and might even be able to further evolve the Stand in the future.

Such enviable talent! Theoretically, my Stand's growth potential should also be A, but I wonder when it will be able to complete its evolution.

However, Stand evolution is essentially a transformation of the Stand User's own mental will, somewhat similar to the Persona in the Persona series.

Someone like me, whose personality was basically set in my past life, and who received a Stand as a reward from Diary, would probably find it hard to choose even if you threw the Insect Arrow, which allows Stands to evolve, in front of me.

Even if my current Stand's growth potential is most likely A, it's probably just a simple numerical increase.

Anyway, let's investigate the bosses in Morioh Kishibe Rohan me to the location of the Wall Eyes that can activate Stands, so it wouldn't be a problem to help him get revenge.

In fact, based on the eight JoJo manga I've read, compared to the villainous forces in the other parts, Morioh is just a small town, and the overall atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

The villains in the other movies include Vampires who wants to dominate the world, an ultimate life form that is immortal, the king of the Italian underworld, a priest who wipes out the main characters and attempts to end the old world to become a god of the new world, and a president who can travel between parallel worlds and will stop at nothing to maintain national hegemony.

The villains in Morioh, although they possess power comparable to the characters mentioned above, simply live a low-key life in this town, hiding their evil deeds under the guise of peace.

This is also why I don't recommend you come to Morioh in the next few days.

Both bosses in Morioh have focused their skill points on stealth.

One is a hand fetishist who cannot control his murderous urges. He possesses a Stand called "Killer Queen," which can turn anything he touches into a bomb, leaving no trace after the explosion. Later, it evolved to have the power that anyone who knows his identity will automatically become a bomb and detonate if his information is revealed to the outside world.

The other is Stone Humans has lived for an unknown amount of time. He possesses the Stand power that no matter how many people are there or where they are, as long as they have the idea of investigating him, they will be entangled by his Stand "Wonder of U" until they die. Moreover, he also has many subordinates with Stand abilities.

Although these two guys look harmless, they never hold back when they strike... no, I should say that if you two were targeted by the former, you'd probably only end up with your hands.

Even if you want to try awakening your Stand, you should wait a few days until I've dealt with these problems.

Miyauchi Hiyage wasn't exaggerating. Morioh seems to be the setting for Part 8, with the Higashikata Family and Hirose Yasuho as the female lead, so the Stone Humans should exist. It's just unknown whether Tooru and his Stone Humans subordinates are still in Morioh researching his new Locacaca Fruit.

However, Tooru is really not much of a threat to Miyauchi Hiyage.

They are all Stands of the same nature. As a reward for the Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage can confidently say that her Wonder of U is male and Tooru's is female, and that the other party's power cannot affect her at all.

Conversely, if the authority of the Law of Calamity is higher than that of the other party, Miyauchi Hiyage might be able to let the other party experience the effects of his Stand.

In addition, due to the absence of the Joestar Family, Kira Yoshikage in this world does not have the Joestar bloodline to suppress and control his hand fetish. Ever since he killed Sugimoto Reimi when Kishibe Rohan was a child, he has completely become the bomb maniac in Part 4.

In comparison, Kira Yoshikage is indeed a greater threat.

After all, if this guy were really forced into a corner and awakened the third bomb, Bites the Dust, and self-destructed to rewind time, then even Kira Yoshikage himself might not know who it would affect, and that would be Wonder of U indexing mechanism could not trigger.

Although the probability is very low, under extremely coincidental circumstances, there is still a few percent chance that Kira Yoshikage Miyauchi Hiyage be killed by Kira Yoshikage.

Therefore, Miyauchi Hiyage felt that he should be more cautious when facing Kira Yoshikage. He should either avoid contact altogether or make sure that he could kill him with one blow as soon as he made contact, so as not to cause any unforeseen complications.

"So what do you want to do?" Miyauchi Hiyage asked Kishibe Rohan, who had been so excited all night that he hadn't slept.

They confirmed it last night: Kira Yoshikage does exist, and his residence is the same as in the manga—he lives alone in a villa area northeast of Morioh and works at the Kameyu Department Store chain.

However, no evidence has been found yet, since Kira Yoshikage is not killing people every moment.

Under normal circumstances, he would kill about two or three women a year, and then the hands of those women would be destroyed after a month of use.

He only loses control of his murderous urges when his fingernails grow rapidly.

Clearly, Kira Yoshikage is not yet at that stage. Even though Miyauchi Hiyage used the full map to observe him, he couldn't find anything wrong with this office worker.

All that can be confirmed is that this guy's clothing style is about 40-50% similar to Kento Nanami's, and their personalities are also quite similar.

Who would guess Kira Yoshikage's quirks just by looking at his appearance?

Having read the manga and learned about Kira Yoshikage's personality and abilities, Kishibe Rohan looked at his Heaven's Door, which had finally fully awakened, with a resolute expression.

"I will get close to investigate that guy, and if he really did those things, I will make him be devoured by Evil Spirits in that alleyway of no return, just like in the comics."
