Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: The Inertia of Fate, Eliminating Obesity

Kira Yoshikage's lunch break was from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Today, as usual, he took a sandwich he had just bought from St. Germain and walked into the lakeside woods, ready to enjoy his delicious lunch.

This lake, close to Grape Hill High School and also near Kameyu Department Store, was the only lake in all of Morioh.

It was the most likely place for both parties to meet. In the original story, the unlucky Kira Yoshikage probably ran into Fatty here, which led to a series of events that exposed him.

But now, he hadn't brought his girlfriend this time, so even if he did run into the protagonist group, they wouldn't be able to recognize him.

After all, who would suspect an unremarkable, ordinary-looking, timid office worker?

You see, Kira Yoshikage's rich but ordinarily timid appearance made him the first target for thugs to rob. In JoJo, where Stand Users wear bizarre outfits, he wouldn't be suspected at all.

Even if he openly strolled in front of the protagonist group, he wouldn't be suspected of being a dangerous Stand User, at least not until Reimi appeared.

Holding a hot dog bun with sausage in one hand, he chewed elegantly bite by bite, his body leaning against a thick tree, sitting on the lush green grass.

While enjoying his delicious lunch, Kira Yoshikage's gaze constantly darted around, searching for a suitable prey.

His urge to kill was becoming a bit unbearable; after all, he wasn't the original Kira Yoshikage, and the first onset of his condition always made it hard to control.

However, the park was still a bit lively, with several groups even setting up tents in the hall, preparing for a picnic, and perhaps even sleeping there. There were too many people, making it difficult to act.

Fortunately, there were still some secluded corners around, such as swaying bushes and the depths of forest paths, where many couples were quietly meeting.

There were also some who looked like students from nearby, judging by their uniforms, who were getting into early relationships at such a young age... Well, in Japan, high school students probably don't count as early relationships.

But they still needed to be disciplined. He would use his righteous Killer Queen to teach these delinquent youths a lesson, ensuring they never relapsed!

After finishing the hot dog in his hand, he took out another warm pork cutlet sandwich, then glanced at the shimmering lake in the distance, his gaze locking onto a student couple far away.

It was a delinquent with a steak-like hairstyle and a short-haired girl, cooing at each other and walking deeper into the woods, seemingly about to do something exciting.

Thinking of how he was framed for no reason in his previous life, looking at this young couple made him even more annoyed. Since he had been drenched by the heavy rain, no one else should think about using an umbrella!

Moreover, that delinquent wasn't Higashikata Josuke, so the danger he posed to him was almost zero. In front of a combat-type Stand User, ordinary people without hot weapons were practically no threat.

But just as he stood up, ready to deal with this couple and vent his gradually rising murderous desires, he froze.

Because with a turn, he saw a boy who looked... distinctive—Fatty.

His durian-like head left a deep impression on anyone who saw it. The moment he saw him, Kira looked back at the lake again. This familiar feeling?

In the anime, he seemed to have run into him here, which then led to a series of events that directly exposed him.

"Is this the inertia of fate? Everything that is meant to happen will eventually happen..."

Looking at the short, stout boy walking towards him on the path, also carrying a bag of sandwiches, Kira Yoshikage's brows furrowed deeper.

He had considered the possibility of meeting someone from the protagonist group here, but he hadn't expected a scene so consistent with the plot. One must know that fate truly exists in JoJo, but if it truly followed the original plot of fate...

He was bound to lose... "Forget it, I'll think about those things later. It's too early to consider them now, and besides..."

'Didn't I win with Bites the Dust? Isn't that also a kind of fate?'

Composing himself, he watched the short, stout boy who was almost running towards him. Kira Yoshikage wasn't in a hurry. He simply walked onto the path, then pretended to reach into his right pocket, as if taking something out.

And a hundred-yen coin was brought out just as he pulled out his nail clippers, rolling down and falling into the grass.

Kira Yoshikage pretended not to see it, merely calmly clipping his nails, holding the bag with his unfinished sandwich tucked under his shoulder.

By then, Fatty had approached, only two or three meters away. Through his peripheral vision, Kira Yoshikage could even make out a dangling snot on his face.

And Fatty naturally saw the hundred-yen coin Kira Yoshikage had just dropped.

But he merely rolled his eyes, looking at the grass where the coin had fallen, without making a sound. He just continued walking forward, and soon he was in front of Kira Yoshikage.

He had already secretly called out to Harvest in his mind. As a cute and ugly child, his biggest problem wasn't his stupidity, but his stinginess and greed.

'Oh, did this uncle drop a hundred-yen coin? He doesn't seem to have noticed...'

'What did the teacher say? Ah, right, things you find should be returned to the owner, but he hasn't looked for it for a few seconds, so he must not want it! Then it's ownerless.'

'Harvest, pick that thing up, the round thing that looks like a coin. Yes, bring it to me quickly.'

Several colorful little figures, resembling cockroaches, immediately appeared behind him, then jumped to the ground and rushed towards the coin. They picked it up directly, then carried the coin through the grass for a short distance.

Finally, he rendezvoused with Fatty, who directly took the hundred-yen coin from his Stand's hand. He flipped the coin, looked at it, and after confirming it was a hundred-yen coin, he gleefully put it into his wallet.

Then, as if guilty, he looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Kira Yoshikage hadn't noticed and was still clipping his nails, before continuing towards the school.

But he walked faster and faster, almost running, carrying the sandwich in his hand, laughing sharply as he ran, his snot almost shaking off.

"Hee hee hee hee!"

He saw everyone looking at him, but he didn't care at all, just continued to laugh sharply and run.

'Killer Queen's first bomb has been deployed.'

And when he started running, listening to his footsteps, Kira Yoshikage calmly turned his head and glanced at his retreating figure. This time, his murderous desires were released, and the clues that could expose him would also be cut off.

Calmly finishing clipping his nails and collecting all the clippings, preparing to put them in his collection jar when he got home, Kira Yoshikage also turned and followed Fatty's footsteps down the road.

With a cold smile on his face, he calmly followed. It was lunchtime, and there were many students running towards school on this road, but also many secluded, deserted places.

And as an office worker on lunch break, having just finished his meal, it was perfectly reasonable for him to walk anywhere on this street, because no one knew where he worked. As long as he didn't enter places like schools, few people would suspect him.

And the foolish and pitiful Fatty happened to find a quiet place to enjoy his lunch, and incidentally let Harvest check if there were any other scattered coins around.

The coin Kira Yoshikage dropped earlier instantly made him think that there might be other leftover coins here. He planned to have Harvest search thoroughly nearby while he ate lunch, to see if people eating had dropped anything valuable.

"The police uncle at the station said that if you find small coins under 100 yen, you don't need to bring them in, it's fine, hee hee hee hee!"

"I hate doing bad things, but this shouldn't count as doing bad things, ah hee hee hee hee!"

But he had only just summoned Harvest when Kira Yoshikage couldn't hold back anymore.

"A pillow comes when you're sleepy. Indeed, fate isn't immutable. Didn't my arrival change fate?"

And behind a tree in the distance, Kira Yoshikage smiled, revealing half his face, looking at the short, stout boy who had just pulled a sandwich from his bag. Killer Queen materialized behind him.

"Killer Queen, first bomb!"

After the pink big cat pressed the button in its hand, the first bomb was activated. Under the influence of the coin, which had been previously transformed into a bomb, Fatty was detonated.

A silent explosion erupted, and Fatty was instantly annihilated in the blast. The hundreds of Harvest he had sent out also disintegrated and were completely obliterated while running.

Only a hundred-yen coin remained quietly on the ground.

"It seems fate is indeed not unchangeable."

"And killing with a Stand doesn't seem that difficult either."

Those killed by Killer Queen left no trace, not a single drop of blood disturbed him, it was exceptionally calm.

Chewing on his unfinished pork cutlet sandwich, Kira Yoshikage checked the surroundings again.

Sure enough, there was still a Harvest struggling, twisting and crawling on the ground. "Killer Queen's second bomb: Koware Chimamire!"

Killer Queen waved its left hand, directly throwing out a small car. The small car instantly ran over the struggling Harvest. The small car erupted in a terrifying explosion, and Harvest was completely blown to dust.

At this point, all traces of Fatty completely vanished.

"It's still the inertia of fate, I suppose. Even if I killed him in advance, a Stand still remains, but this time you can't tell tales."

Although the main body was dead, the short, stout boy didn't have a spirit like Gold Experience. This little thing couldn't last for a few seconds, and without its own essence, it was already a miracle for a Stand to exist for an extra few seconds.

But it still needed to be completely cleared to be safe.

After checking again and confirming that there was no remaining evidence around, Kira Yoshikage finally picked up his hundred-yen coin with peace of mind.
