CHAPTER IX

"Master Thoreau." Joanna looked at Master Julian who walked in, nodded slightly to him, and said hello.

"Call me Julian." Julian Thoreau smiled gracefully at Jona.

As he spoke, he quickly looked at the eye, politely or asking, "Are you?" ”

"Keigo Keibe." I don't know if it's because the other party is the son of the richest man in the world.,The attitude of the trace department is much more restrained than when I was usually in school.。

"Oh, you're the son of the director of the securities company." Young Master Julian immediately knew who the other party was, and there was a slight disdain in his expression, but he didn't show it obviously, "Do you know each other?" ”

"Well, we're classmates." Without waiting for the trace department to say anything, Jona had already answered the question in place of the trace department.

"yes, that's a coincidence." Julian looked surprised.

Neither Jibu nor Jona had a common language with Julian, but they couldn't ignore Julian and continue to play, so Joanna could only speak, "Tomorrow is your father's birthday, so you must be very busy." ”

"I'm not very busy, I may not be able to spare time tomorrow, but I don't have much to do right now."

His gaze stayed on Jona, and he didn't seem to want to leave, "Are you guys playing tennis?" ”

"You can see this at a glance." Traces frowned.

"It just so happens that I'm pretty good at tennis, if you don't mind, can you allow me to join you." Julian Thoreau.

He is the son of the host who held this queue, and they all said so, even if they were reluctant to be interrupted, they couldn't refuse, but fortunately, Jona didn't love to fight, she replied briskly, "Then you guys play a game first, I'll be the referee." ”

Traces glanced at Jona, "I have no opinion. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Alas? This answer was a little different from what he expected, Julian didn't have any interest in Keigo Keibe, he just wanted to have more contact with Jona Kujo, this girl's previous attitude of not taking him seriously aroused his interest, he had absolute confidence in his charm, Julian didn't believe that any woman would really be able to refuse him.

But it's okay, as the son of the boat king, he has received an elite education since he was a child, and a mere tennis ball is nothing, so it's good to take this opportunity to let Miss Jona see what he can do.

Thinking of this, Julian Thoreau's lips curled slightly, and he confidently said to the trace, "Then please advise." ”

"Please advise." Without much nonsense, he walked to the center of the court and raised the racket in his hand, "which." ”

β€œright。” Julian took Jona's racket. He didn't mean to replace his shoes.

Jona didn't bother to remind him, she sat down in the referee's chair and began to score them.

Then on this day, Joanna finally understood the rumor that only superpowers could become the main candidate of the tennis club among the major universities.

Because the tennis ball played by the trace is the same as having superpowers, which completely violates the normal laws of physics.

β€œ0-4。”

Joanna showed the current score without a face, since the start of Master Julian's serve, he has not scored a single point from the hands of the traces, it is simply tragic that she can't look at it directly, she can't stand it anymore. However, Keigo Kibe didn't seem to have any intention of accepting mercy at all, and he didn't even want to give a ball to Julian Thoreau.

"Indulge in Uncle Ben's beautiful skills!!"

It seems that the Ice Emperor's call suddenly sounded in his ears......

β€œ0-5.”

Jona's voice was calm, and the score was reported again. Julian's face was blue and panting like a cow, and his new shiny white shoes had been creased.

To be honest, this young master's physical fitness and reflexes are at the level of a normal person, but at this time, Jonah found out that Kibe-kun didn't seem to be an ordinary high school student, and his tennis was so terrible that he not only hit a serve that would not bounce, but also used the stunt "Broken Wheel Dance" to directly knock down someone else's racket when hitting the ball back.

This doesn't seem to be the same as the normal tennis common sense that Jona understands.

"Hahaha-Uncle Ben is kin-g!!" (Japanese pronunciation)

…… Inexplicably, he fell into a state of excitement.

Suddenly I don't want to play tennis with this guy.

"0-, winner atobe."

Jona's expression was numb and she reported the final score. Julian Thoreau fell.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's too much. Joanna finally couldn't hold back her voice.

"Hmph." Tracebe sneered, not intending to explain.

Then Jona and Jibe carried Julian back to his room, and no one mentioned anything about continuing the exercise.

The day passed for the time being.

Next.

When I woke up early in the morning from the guest room of the luxury giant ship, I found that Helly was no longer in the room, and the quilt on the bed had been folded.

Jona wondered if her mother had gone for a walk on the deck, so she got up slowly, and when she walked out of the room to go to breakfast, she found that the trace was at the entrance of the room.

"Morning." Jona waved at him.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ahhh It seemed as if he was waiting for someone, and when he saw Jona, he nodded to her as well.

"I was going to breakfast, have you eaten it? If you don't have it, don't you want to be together. ”

"Thank you, but I'm waiting for my mother." Traces shook his head, "You go first." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I'll talk to you." Jona, who seemed bored, stood next to him against the wall, though there was nothing to talk about between them.

"......" Jibu glanced at her, didn't say anything but smiled softly.

"Didn't you want to ask me about the stand-in? If there's anything you want to know, just ask. Joanna looked bored at the ceiling.

"Yes, about this ......," Trace hesitated for a moment, "did you do anything before you awakened that ability, or did any signs appear on your body?" ”

"I don't remember this, how could I remember it when I was so young."

"And what about your brother? What's going on with him? ”

"I don't know, I don't think he's the kind of person who would remember such things...... Wait, I can't see that you still want that ability? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Isn't that nonsense! ”

Tracebe turned his head, out of self-esteem he didn't speak again, so Jona put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "Don't be discouraged, maybe one day it will awaken on its own, if you're curious, you can go to Duwang Town, there are a lot of people like me...... But I don't know what's going on.,When I went there last summer, I suddenly added a lot of stand-in abilities.,I heard that it seems to be related to some golden arrow.,I'm not very sure about the specifics.。 ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Such. ”

Traces fell into deep thought, when a beautiful woman came out of the guest room, her eyes turned to this side, and then smiled kindly at Jona and Tracebe.

"Your mother is here, I'll go first."

"Hey, you-"

Without waiting for anything to happen, Jona patted him on the shoulder and walked away briskly.

"Who was that girl just now?" When Jibe's mother came over, she saw the back of Jona who had run away, and couldn't help but ask her son with a smile.

"My classmates from school happened to meet here." Traces replied distraughtly.

"Won't you invite her to dine with us?" Trace's mother's eyes were crooked with a smile.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ No, let her be. Traces waved their hands. She won't come anyway.

In the afternoon, the police on the ship suddenly strengthened compared to the previous day, and many guests knew about the notice sent by the strange thief, but they did not think that the strange thief had the ability to escape from the ship after stealing the gem, and the king himself even said that the appearance of the strange thief was only to add to the fun of his birthday feast, and stated that if any of the guests present could catch the strange thief, they would give the gem that the strange thief wanted to steal directly to the guest.

It's really a rich man's game, and it completely turns the arrival of the monster thief into a national pie.

"The King doesn't seem to care if the gem is stolen, so it doesn't matter if we catch the thief or not, right?"

Jona, who was gathered in the room, looked at Joseph calmly, each of them had already changed into the dress they were going to wear for the evening, and at this moment Joseph was staring intently at a camera, as if he was preparing something.

"If you let that thief escape, you'll also bring shame on the ship's king! We've got to catch him anyway! ”

"But we only had a camera, and we didn't take any photos of ourselves, and if we broke it, it was gone......"

Before Jona could finish speaking, Joseph had already activated the purple "click" of the substitute Hermit to smash the camera, and Jona suddenly sighed in disappointment.

Joseph Joestar's double, Hermit Purple, can be read and written through a guΓ² connection medium, but each use consumes a 15W camera (price has been reduced).

"Then we'll have to wait for the thief's information! See who he really is, even if he mixes in the crowd, find him out! Joseph smirked.

Spit out a photo from the smashed camera, and Jona immediately leaned over to look at it, but what gradually appeared on the photo was the appearance of Young Master Julian with his hands and feet tied behind his back, his mouth taped with adhesive tape, and a crying face.

Joseph and Jona were stunned.

…… What's the situation?
