Chapter 99. I Will Love Only Suzi Q for My Whole Life
---
As mentioned before, the Stand template prepared by Pucci for "Stardust Crusaders" was different from the original generic actor template.
After finding Kars, Pucci had him use his Pillar Men abilities to modify and create a special actor template designed specifically for the Stand settings in "Stardust Crusaders".
Naturally, not only were Jotaro and the others, who had never experienced filming before, unfamiliar with this template, but even someone experienced like Dio felt a bit uncomfortable when first using it.
They had to explore and get familiar with the template through various experiments, like shooting with guns, to gradually understand and adapt to it.
So, after finally getting used to the Stand, old Joseph Joestar, who could effortlessly use "Hermit Purple" just like he might automatically lift a part of his body when thinking of a particular artist, decided to relax and catch up on the episodes of "Battle Tendency" that he had accumulated.
Of course, the episodes of "Battle Tendency" didn't just end there. With the automatic play feature enabled, old Joseph and Jotaro continued to watch...
Just as Joseph in "Battle Tendency" used magic tricks to make Esidisi careless, exploiting the joy of victory to create an opening that led to Esidisi's defeat, Esidisi also put his knowledge to use.
Taking advantage of the Pillar Men's unknown capabilities and Joseph's momentary lapse in victory, Esidisi successfully separated his brain and attached it to Joseph's back!
Initially, this wasn't a big deal. With Hamon protection at all times, Esidisi's detached brain couldn't harm Joseph. But the real issue was that after defeating Esidisi, Joseph was supposed to report the matter of the Super Aja Stone to Lisa Lisa!
"Since you said I have to wait thirty minutes, there's nothing I can do."
Looking at the figure outside the circle that seemed to be mailing something, and understanding that he was now alone with Lisa Lisa, who was bathing, Joseph quietly and smilingly calculated the time for Suzi Q's return.
He arrived at Lisa Lisa's bathroom door!
"But if I have to wait thirty minutes, it's best to wait right in front of Lisa Lisa's door!"
"During this time, you mustn't peek through the keyhole like this! Ohhhhhhhh——!!"
Contrary to his words, Joseph's actions followed his true desires. With no qualms about gambling or drugs, he unabashedly focused all his attention on the beautiful bathing scene behind the lock!
He let out a low scream of joy and praised the god who had arranged such benefits for him: "NICE~~!!"
From now on, Joseph Joestar would be a devout believer!
Ah, this god is so white...
No, I mean, this angel is so big...
"..."
Watching Joseph completely immersed in the joy of peeping through the keyhole in "Battle Tendency", both Jotaro and old Joseph had remarkably vivid expressions.
The difference was that Jotaro's expression was a mix of "Well, that's just like you"—a blend of helplessness, embarrassment, and a bit of schadenfreude.
Old Joseph, on the other hand, had already forgotten about negotiating with Jotaro and was shouting in despair: "OH! NO!!"
His lifelong reputation was now destroyed by that fraud named "Gintoki Sakata"!
And most importantly...
"Old man, do you think Grandma Suzi Q is watching this episode like you are?"
Jotaro's devilish whisper, resembling a grim reaper, reached the shocked old Joseph's ears: "Though it seems that Grandma Suzi Q also has quite a few scenes based on Jolyne's advice…"
"But unlike us, who need to adapt to Stand templates, Grandma Suzi Q doesn't need to adapt to Stand powers."
"Gulp..."
This was the sound of someone swallowing nervously, and the involuntary noise of someone thinking about a terrible future.
Because if this was actually seen...
Even though the person peeping in "Battle Tendency" was not the real old Joseph but rather Gintoki Sakata in his place, the similarity in their demeanor, especially after Gintoki dyed his hair brownish-black in the actor template, made even old Joseph often feel that Gintoki was like his younger self.
In this case, how would Grandma Suzi Q react if she saw this scene?
Even if they were an old married couple, what if Grandma Suzi Q got jealous? Would she become suspicious and want to investigate thoroughly?
"Old man, you haven't done anything to wrong Grandma Suzi Q, have you?" Jotaro asked.
"... What are you talking about, Jotaro!"
Old Joseph, with a somewhat unnatural tone, shouted loudly: "How could I do anything to wrong Grandma Suzi Q?!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"I, Joseph Joestar, love only Suzi Q for my entire life!!"
"..."
"So Jotaro..."
Although it wasn't necessary, old Joseph instinctively controlled his full-dived body to move closer to Jotaro: "How about we negotiate?"
"If Grandma Suzi Q hasn't seen this episode yet, as long as you keep it a secret, how about I teach you some tips for controlling your Stand?"
"And what about the things you said I need to tell you...?" Jotaro asked, thinking of something.
"What things? Did we say anything about that before?" Old Joseph said with righteous indignation: "Would your dear grandpa be the type to withhold tips from his own grandson?!"
"No other conditions?" Jotaro asked again.
"No!" Old Joseph shook his head firmly.
"Just don't tell Grandma Suzi Q about this episode!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"This sounds pretty good." Jotaro said.
"Right!"
"But, I refuse!"
"Well, since you agreed, Jotaro... eh eh eh eh eh eh?!!"
