"Mm-mmh. Tell them to be careful, if it leaks we'll have problems.

- I don't think he noticed anything.

- For the moment. But it will be too late when he notices it. I'll say it again, I know it's tempting for the money. But it will fall on us. Especially if it is discovered that I have left. Really, Riz', stop them from doing stupid things.

- They don't listen to me as much as they listen to you.

- Bullshit. It won't work as an excuse. Keep them away from the Boss' little business, that's all I'm asking of you.

- ... very well.

- Thank you. I want to go home and find all my boys.

- ... it's been over a week. Are you progressing?

- Honestly, not really. It's hard to concentrate with Jotaro around. Especially now that his whole family is here.

- Your ex, hm?

- Errh... I don't even know if there's ever really been something between us, but yes, we'll say that.

- Take care of yourself. It's not for me to tell you that, but you know better than anyone that it's on your mission that you have to focus.

- ... I know."

But since she had arrived, she had had trouble applying that. Overwhelmed by emotions of all kinds, she'd almost forgotten why she was there.

"Ah, we're engaged by the way.

- ... eh?"

(Y/N) let out a mocking chuckle.

"I may have lied a little to see his reaction.

- And he believed it? When he's supposed to know you? Everyone knows it's against your principles...

- He's a little slow.

- I can see that

- Oh, hello (Y/N)!"

(Y/N) looked up at the boy who had just greeted her, a big smile on his face. She gave him a small wave.

"Hello Okuyasu. Riz', I have to leave you.

- Take care of yourself.

- Take care of yourself. And of them.

- Yes, capo.

- Mmh, very sexy when you call me that."

She heard him growl on the other end of the line, before hanging up. She bit back a laugh and turned to Okuyasu who was still there, patiently waiting for her to finish her call so he could talk to her.

"Hello (Y/N)!" he repeated.

"Hello Okuyasu. Can I help you?

- Yes! Josuke told me that you gave him advice!

- Um yes?

- Then I came to see you for that! What was the advice? I need it too!"

She blinked slowly and raised her eyebrows, amused by his childish attitude.

"Well... I told him to go out with the person he's got his eye on, give them compliments he wouldn't pay just anyone to avoid misunderstandings, and examine reactions to see if the feelings are shared or not. But in any case, if you want to know if someone likes you, you might as well ask them directly.
