Morning on the Cruise Ship

Jilan opened the door, Ibara Shiozaki was breathing evenly on the bed, showing no signs of waking up.

Jilan didn't turn on the light. She went to the bathroom and changed her clothes while thinking about the androids released by Dark Shadow.

Although it is called an artificial human, it has no thinking ability or stress response. It is just a prosthetic body with an empty shell. However, it is quite suitable for Jilan to use now.

Jilan is already planning to order one after disembarking. As for appearance, an old lady CBA would be nice, but of course, not one with a head that can rotate 360 degrees.

Although the price was high, Jilan could still afford it, but all the concert revenue would have to be invested in it. One thing that surprised Jilan was that even though a month or two had passed since the concert ended, Camie Utsushimi was still constantly transferring money to Jilan's card, saying that this was a share of the record sales. Although it was not as much as her personal income during the concert, it was more than what Jilan usually earned from her part-time job.

Was she being kept by her? The thought had barely formed in Jilan's mind when she remembered Ibara Shiozaki, who had once asked her if she was being kept, now fast asleep on the bed outside... If Camie Utsushimi knew about this, would she yell at her—"How dare you use my hard-earned money to support another woman!?"

A slight smile appeared on Jilan's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

Himiko Toga. If he wasn't mistaken, when Toga her final exit, she stared at Little Red Riding Hood lying in the coffin with a predatory look, as if her target was the Evangelion Unit-01 that the Werewolf had mentioned? But what good did it do? After all, according to the Werewolf, they only needed to wait two months to get a brand new one.

Biotechnology is currently the most cutting-edge technology, but Dark Shadow uses it to create sex toys. Is sex truly the driving force behind human development...?

As Jilan pondered the incongruous things, she removed her disguise, and soon a handsome blond young man appeared in the mirror.

Cowboy hat, beard, gray T-shirt... Jilan wrapped these things up together, and after a series of soundless and lightless special effects, they disappeared from the world.

From now on, the identity of Joseph Joestar will no longer be needed; it would be best to erase all evidence of his existence.

The next day.

Kaminari and Mineta sat opposite Jilan, having breakfast at a paid restaurant.

Yesterday, with the restaurant manager's approval, the two of them were granted the freedom to move around as they pleased, only needing to help out when there was a shortage of staff for dinner. Therefore, they can now sit openly across from Jilan.

"So sleepy..." Kaminari yawned and complained, "Last night, the captain must have been out of his mind. He woke us temporary trainees, who had only been practicing for two and a half days, up at three in the morning and made us wander around the casino, serving some customers, until we weren't able to go back to sleep until after five."

Jilan paused for a second while stirring his coffee, then continued stirring. He had indeed seen many waiters when he left the casino last night; although most of them looked tired, they were definitely serving those who had just come from the casino. It turned out the captain...

Kaminari continued to complain, "You know what? Last night I ran into a chubby guy with dark skin. He spoke English with an accent I couldn't quite place and asked me to help him find someone who could take care of his genital problems."

"Are there any places like that on the ship?" Minoru Mineta asked curiously.

"I don't know either, but what's terrifying is what happened next." Kaminari showed horror as he said this, "You know what? That fat guy actually told me that if I couldn't find it, I should help him deal with it. I was so scared that I electrocuted him on the spot!"

Ueno's face showed disgust. "What a disgusting guy. I must say, you did a great job this time!"

Nakiri elegantly wiped his mouth and smiled, saying, "It's rare that I agree with you on this point. I wonder what you think, Jilan- kun?"

This morning, Ueno came to Jilan's door and invited him and Ibara Shiozaki to have breakfast together, with Erina Nakiri treating. Although Jilan wasn't afraid of being poisoned by the demoted kitchen helper, he was more afraid of being targeted by a thief than of theft itself, and he didn't want to see that face again, so he accepted Jilan 'Ueno invitation.

Kaminari and Mineta were summoned by their supervisor; their job today was to accompany the guests for meals and drinks.

"That guy really can't resist meat... You should do the same." The first half of Jilan's sentence was an exclamation, and the second half was an instruction to Ibara Shiozaki.

As he spoke, he placed a piece of beef on Ibara Shiozaki's plate, saying that eating only vegetables wasn't a good idea.

Ignoring her expressionless yet mournful gaze, Jilan turned to Kaminari and asked, "So, what happened next? Were you punished for attacking the passenger?"

"Now that I've mentioned this, I'd like to tell you the whole story!" Kaminari excitedly put down his milk. "I originally thought the captain would scold me, but to my surprise, after hearing what happened, he didn't say a word and just threw that guy into the sauna, leaving him dressed and locked in that room all night, with the sauna blasting!"

Hisako exclaimed in sudden realization, "No wonder there were so many people at the entrance of the public bathhouse when I woke up this morning!"

"It sounds like a cruel punishment. If plants were in that kind of environment, they would definitely wither and die from dehydration... However, it would be a suitable punishment for that kind of person," Ibara Shiozaki said calmly.

Jilan looked at Ibara Shiozaki with some surprise. She hadn't said a word while interacting with the others on the ship, and this was the first time she had heard her respond to anyone else.

"... What's wrong?" Ibara Shiozaki's face flushed slightly. "Is something the problem?"

"It's nothing," Jilan shrugged.

Ibara Shiozaki was somewhat dissatisfied with Jilan's answer, but didn't know how to react, so he just stared at him with some resentment.

The group chatted casually, and breakfast time soon came to an end.

"What should we do next? Does anyone have any good suggestions?" Nakiri asked with a smile.

Yesterday, the supervisor took them on a tour of the entire ship, and they even saw a Broadway show in the evening, but he doesn't have time to continue with them today.

"How about the rooftop swimming pool? With all you beautiful girls around, you're sure to attract attention!" Minoru Mineta excitedly suggested, raising his hand first. His gaze involuntarily drifted towards Nakiri. If he could see the blonde beauties in their swimsuits, this trip would be totally worth it!

He completely ignored Jilan's words, believing that Jilan was only saying such things because she wanted to monopolize these girls.

"Rejected." Hisako stepped in front of Nakiri, coldly stating, "Erina's body is not something lowly commoners like you are fit to see."

Tsukimi Machi quietly raised her hand and asked in a low voice, "How about going to the library? They have lots of books about marine life there."

Nakiri, like a domineering CEO, said indulgently, "What books do you want to read? I'll buy them for you when we get back."

Tsukimi Machi nodded and hid behind Nakiri, remaining silent.

"What are we waiting for? We're going to the casino!" Ueno shouted. "Don't forget, we can go anywhere else anytime, but casinos are illegal in this island nation. We're going to have a blast!"

Minoru Mineta was still somewhat unwilling. "Isn't Japan known for its pachinko? But sunbathing at sea isn't a common sight!"

"I have no interest in that kind of stuff old people play with!" Ueno said without hesitation, then, with sparkling eyes, began to seek Jilan's agreement, "Right, Jilan, that's what you think, isn't it?"

"Ah, yes, that's right." Jilan replied with a wry smile. She felt like she'd been shot in the knee...
