CHAPTER XVIII
Two weeks after going to the birthday banquet of the Boat King.
As soon as Joseph and Jona, who had finally returned from the airport, stepped into the house, Holly rushed over and hugged them tightly, almost crying with joy.
"Great, Dad, Jona...... You've come back safely and without incident! ”
"Hahaha! You are worried about your baby daughter, think about who the old man is, those things are not worth mentioning! ”
Joseph put his arms around Helly and laughed. Jona watched him quietly from the sidelines, and couldn't help but complain, "If there hadn't been a vehicle accident, we wouldn't have suffered those things at all." ”
"Ahem!" Joseph coughed dryly a few times and looked around as if changing the subject, "Anyway, Jotaro is coming back in the next few days, and the old man plans to stay in Japan for a few more days." ”
"Oh, great, are you going to live with us, Daddy?" Helly looked at him expectantly.
"No, the old man has something to do to go to Duwang Town." Joseph waved his hand uncomfortably, looking a little vague, "Let Jotaro come to Duwang Town to find me when he comes back." ”
"......" Jona didn't say anything, they all knew about it, and Joseph went to Duwangcho every time to see his illegitimate son. Obviously not much older than her, but he has to call his uncle's Dongfang help.
Although Jona doesn't have a problem with Kansuke, and in fact they have a good relationship, it's not a glorious thing in itself, so she has always avoided mentioning the Dongfang family in front of her mother.
"You talk slowly, I'll go take a shower first, I feel like I'm about to stink." Jona stretched, but as if she remembered something, she suddenly turned around and asked Joseph, "By the way, Grandpa, can't you really give me that arrow?" ”
"Can't! That arrow is a very dangerous thing, and if used incorrectly, it will lead the world to ruin! Joseph's tone suddenly became stern, "Our SPW consortium originally wanted to recycle and destroy those arrows together, and we can't let you mess with them, and now the old man will keep them, you know." ”
"Tsk......" Jona snorted unwillingly, she was a little angry, if she hadn't been recognized by the arrow at the critical moment and evolved the daughter of the forest green into the form of the soul song, they would all be dead by now. However, after Athena came to the Papal Palace, Sachar's self-determination attempt failed, and the arrow fell off from the substitute's body, and the abilities and effects of the soul song state also ended. Grandpa Joseph was actually going to retrieve the arrow, she thought that the arrow must belong to her!
"Anyway, you're too young to own something so dangerous!" Joseph righteously said, "If Jona wants to steal it, the old man will let Jotaro talk to you!" ”
"Cut, if you don't give, you won't give." Jona rolled her eyes and ran to the second floor in a rage.
As she passed by the guest room, she remembered that there seemed to be another guest in the house, so Jona naturally went in to greet him.
"Yo, how have these two weeks been?"
Jona approached the young man in the colorful shirt, as if the other party had known about her arrival, and looked back at her with a smile, "It's quite clean, there aren't too many noisy sounds." Speaking of which, you seem to have grown a lot. ”
"Oh? You can see this, huh? Jona pinched her neck and smiled happily when she saw the good dress, "Did you wear it in Hawaiian style?" Pretty good for you. ”
“…… It's okay if you don't go out. Not knowing what Asakura was thinking, his smile stiffened slightly. Of course, what Jona didn't know was that after Oka Sakura's cloak stinked in it, Helly would bring her son's elementary school uniform, and finally chose the Hawaiian-style shirt that Jona bought as a replacement.
Maybe it's because Helly always reminds her of her mother, so it's hard to refuse her.
"Then you can do it yourself, I'll go take a shower first." Jona waved her hand and rushed to the bathroom, almost terrified when she came back from the plane, lest she be affected by the aura of Joseph's vehicle and crash, but fortunately, except for a few fluctuations in the air current, she finally returned home!
After all that almost out of breath after all the stuff that happened, she really needed to get some rest!
Next.
It happened to be the weekend, and I originally planned to have a good day off, but I received a message from the student union on my mobile phone: At 10:00 today, the practice match between the Ice Emperor and Lihai University was held at the Fukada Gymnasium in Tokyo, which was related to the honor of the Ice Emperor, and those who had nothing to do remembered to watch and support.
Tennis?
Jona, who was originally in a daze, was awake the moment she thought of tennis. She still remembers what she did on the Thoreau family's luxury cruise ship, which caused an indelible psychological shadow on the son of the ship king, and presumably Julian Thoreau must have held a grudge against them from now on......
I guess I'm back a long time ago, right? Jona suddenly remembered that she had only retrieved her phone from her mother yesterday, and after recharging it, she received an email from an unfamiliar address: "If you can still see this message...... Please be sure to reply to me, please".
At the time, I thought it was spam and deleted it, but I heard from Heli that after that, the trace department also came to their house to look for her a few times, saying that she seemed to be worried about her, probably an email from the trace department.
In that case, let's go watch the game, and thank you to the trace by the way.
So Jona got up from the bed, dressed and dried her hair, ready to watch the tennis practice match between the Ice Emperor and Lihai University.
After going downstairs, I didn't see Asakura, this boy has been haunted, except for sometimes looking at pine trees in the yard, and often can't find anyone else at other times. However, Jona didn't care about him, and after saying hello to her mother, she went out, and after taking a few subway stops, she finally came to the Fukada Gymnasium, where the practice match was held.
Only the Ice Emperor has such a big deal, the practice matches of other schools are basically in the school or the street venue, when Qiao Na came to the Fukada Gymnasium, she found that the venue was rented, and she had to show the Ice Emperor's student ID to enter.
"Huh? I forgot to bring my student ID. Jona was stunned, "I'm also a student of the Ice Emperor, can you let me in?" ”
"No, rules are rules." The security guard explained, "In order to prevent spies from other colonels from trying to infiltrate, this is also a request from Jibe-kun." ”
"Huh? That's a hassle. Of course Jona was not happy to go home to get her student ID, she originally wanted to just stop in at the right time, but there were a few goddesses of Class A around who were gloating at her, and it didn't seem appropriate to disappear directly in front of so many people.
After all, in today's Japan, everyone only believes that superpowers that appear in sports competitions are (not) justified.
Oh, if they find out the secret that she can stop time, won't it prove that she cheated on the exam?
She never admitted to cheating, and cheating that wasn't discovered wasn't cheating.
I really can't help it, so let's try to contact the trace department.
So Jona sent a message to the unfamiliar email address, and although the content of the previous email was deleted, the phone automatically recorded it. Then less than a minute later, she received a reply.
Where are you? 】
Jona: [Right at the main entrance of Fukada Gymnasium.] 】
Almost at the same time as she sent a message, the other party sent another message.
[I'm coming for you.] 】
Jona put down her phone, and a few minutes later, two girlish screams rang out from the crowd, "Ahhhhhh It's a trace-sama! ”
"Trace-sama! Go for today's game!! ”
Jona turned around and saw Keigo running towards her panting slightly, and Jona immediately waved to greet him, "Yo Keibu, long time no-"
"What the hell is going on with you guy?!"
Before Joanna could finish speaking, Tracebe interrupted her, and there was no change from when she was in Greece, but Tracebe frowned, and seemed to be angry and pressed Jona's shoulder, about to go crazy, "What did you and your grandfather think about jumping into the sea at that time?!" Impatient to live?! Wouldn't it be nice to leave that kind of thing to the police, what are you meddling in?! ”
"Huh?" Jona was taken aback by the big reaction of the trace department, but she quickly slapped the trace department away and pressed her hand, and said quite easily, "It's okay, I don't worry about grandpa going after the monster thief Kidd alone." ”
"You should stop your grandpa and not get nervous with him!"
Blue tendons floated on their foreheads, and their voices were so loud that they couldn't help but attract the attention of many people around them. Qiao Na didn't like this feeling very much, she frowned, and said helplessly, "How can it be so easy to stop, and grandpa is old, it's good to let him do what he wants to do......"
"Is this something that older people can do if they want?!" Traces of anger.
"Is this?" Jona changed the subject, "But why are you so angry, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with you." ”
"......" The question finally made the trace department stunned for a moment, and then he immediately replied very uncomfortably, "Out of concern for his friends, is Uncle Ben worried that you can't do it?!" ”
"Huh? Are we friends? Joanna was slightly surprised, "I always thought you didn't have friends, what a surprise, I didn't expect you to be friends with me...... Well, then we're friends. ”
Jona happily held out her hand to the trace.
"......" looked at Jona, and the corners of his forehead jumped again. Suddenly I felt unpleasant for some reason, why did I feel like I thought he had no friends and reluctantly agreed to be friends with him?!
