"I said, is this really a pyramid? It's surrounded by incomprehensible codes..." Joseph stomped his feet hard, he wanted to say "only these khaki boxy stones still look like It's a pyramid", but thinking about how these stones can move people like an elevator, shut up.
"Young people's cognitive world, you know a ball, the old guy goes home and plays your Thomson submachine gun." As a game character who travels through time and space, Liz is much more adaptable than Joseph.
"I'm not Cesar, but I don't have a hobby of playing guns... Besides, I still have a Walkman, although I hate Japanese people." To be clear, "JOJO World" does not have a smartphone for the time being. It is already a very advanced electronic product, and the old man can still keep up with the times.
Jotaro sighed lightly, he was tired of listening to his grandfather's dislike of his father's remarks, and walked to the sarcophagus in front, "... Rather than boring topics, let's determine Sakura Futaba's secret treasure first, regardless of the final decision. Take it away."
"Secret, secret treasure!" Morgana, who was excited whenever he saw the secret treasure, chased after him excitedly.
With the power of the "Platinum Star", the lid of the mere sarcophagus was not much different from the wooden board, and it was easily removed.
but…
"...Empty." Not to mention the materialized secret treasure, there is not even a vague twisted desire in the sarcophagus.
"How is that possible?! No matter how you look at this place, there are hidden treasures. Is there a mezzanine in the sarcophagus?!" Morgana hurriedly jumped into the sarcophagus and searched carefully, but no matter how carefully you searched, you couldn't find anything that didn't exist. .
[—Didn’t I say it before? You can't steal it.]Sakura Futaba suddenly appeared next to the sarcophagus. Because this is her home court, even Leeds failed to sense her arrival in advance.
"Could it be that you deliberately hid the secret treasure elsewhere?!" asked Morgana, who jumped out of the sarcophagus.
[…]Sakura Futaba was silent.
"Or you are the secret treasure." Jotaro said coldly.
"Ah, I was a little suspicious at first, but look at the container of the treasure? But the 'sarcophagus' is not suitable for other things." Joseph agreed.
"I think you should be a fusion of 'distorted desire' and 'true self', so that you can explain why you are causing us trouble and giving us hints along the way." The answer given by Liz In more detail, "And your desire is 'death', a desire that can only be satisfied by being attached to 'self', and the possibility of such a situation cannot be ruled out."
[Wonderful, I don’t need to take the time to explain it to you, it’s really worthy of being a famous phantom thief group.]Sakura Futaba did not quibble, and directly admitted his identity, [But so what? There is no way for you to take the treasure from me, but if you destroy me, Sakura Futaba of the material world will be dehumanized.]
"I really want to give an unexpected answer in a handsome manner, but..." Liz spread his hands and turned to look at his companions, "If there is a good plan, now is the time for your performance, I'm here to pass."
"It's not like you don't know our abilities, there's no way to do such a thing." Joseph and Jotaro's stand-in abilities are getting stronger day by day, but they are mainly reflected in the strength of physical attacks, the increase in attribute moves, and the range of special abilities. Augmentation and duration have been extended, and no new special abilities have been added.
Amamiya Lian proposed: "... revealing the whole truth to Futaba in the material world, is it possible to relieve her heart knot?"
"Who knows... Anyway, this is the only option left now." Liz said helplessly.
No one noticed that Touhou Jousuke was carrying his small schoolbag and sneaking behind the sarcophagus without knowing what to do.
[… It seems that you have given up… But neither I nor "she" will let you leave casually.]Sakura Futaba, like before, squatted down and put his head in his hands.
"Wow, a bad premonition!" Everyone immediately became alert.
Unfortunately, almost everyone is alert in the wrong direction.
The enemy does not come from around, but from above!
(Boom!) The triangular top of the pyramid was slapped down by something.
Due to its huge size, even the "tons" of stones used to build the pyramid were swept away like building blocks. And after the top of the obstructing tower disappeared, everyone finally knew what the enemy was - it was a "sphinx", the size was roughly the same as the sphinx in the material world, and the head was the mother of Futaba. - Isshiki Wakaba's head.
"It's too exaggerated?! Is this thing also Shadow?!" Joseph exclaimed.
"No, that's cognition! It's a monster created by Futaba's cognition, probably because the desire for suicide and guilt distorted past cognition, making the mother's image become like this..." Morgana didn't blame Futaba , has only deep sympathy for her.
"...Do you need to retreat?" Jotaro didn't think they could defeat such a huge monster with their stand-in abilities. Do you really think that long-range attribute attacks don't need to consume energy? Taking into account the previous conclusions, it is a very reasonable choice to escape from the palace now.
"That's not so... Hey, Captain Lazy, didn't you fight with Waum in the air for hours? Don't tell me you can't deal with a monster that is only relatively large~" Joseph laughed road.
"Hey~ what did you say~" Liz and Sakuya rose into the air.
…
[Wow, my head hurts! It's about to crack...!]The sphinx exacerbated Sakura Futaba's inner guilt, causing him to have a splitting headache and unbearable misery.
"...It's very painful, right? Not only do I feel guilty for my favorite mother, but I'm also hated by my favorite mother. To be honest, I can't even imagine it." A high school student with a dung-like flat nose came out from behind the sarcophagus.
[You... who are you?]Sakura Futaba doesn't remember such a person in the Phantom Thieves.
"My name is 'Oriental Jousuke', the last member of the Yellow Turban Thief Phantom Thieves, codenamed 'Cow Dung Head'." Jousuke approached Sakura Futaba step by step.
[… Cow dung head?] This name was inadvertently engraved in Sakura Futaba's heart.
"I'm four years old this year. I drank the potion and grew up temporarily, because I need to make my stand-in 'Crazy Diamond' grow up." Jousuke stopped less than two meters in front of Futaba and called out his stand-in.
[… What do you want to do?]
"It might hurt a bit, but I'll fix your distortions brought about by the bad guys! Beep!"
"Crazy Diamond" punched Sakura Futaba's body with one punch.
