〖JJBA - EN〗- Last Judgement

Chapter 58: His work of art.

Morioh, Japan. June 25th, 1999.

Very few people had seen (Y/N) in the past few days. Strangely, she had stayed locked in her room most of the time, immersed in the investigation. Because Kira's father had run away with an arrow. And it was going to cause a hell of a mess in town. But above all, because she preferred not to waste any more time. The sooner this case was solved, the sooner she could return to Italy. She missed her boys. She missed Risotto. And... she missed Bruno. Easy to realize now that he was no longer answering her calls. She was completely lost. And the best thing to do in these cases was to close in on her work. And if there was anyone who understood this feeling...

It was Rohan Kishibe.

Rohan had had a bad day. He had to face a poor kid's Stand with "rock, paper, scissors". And he was particularly irritated by this meeting. However, when he passed by the hotel on his way home from the gym, he had no idea that his evening would end in a much better way. Indeed, he had just laid eyes on (Y/N), leaning over her work, the window open to air her room. And that determined look on her face suddenly reminded him of their little altercation a few days earlier in the locker room. After a moment of hesitation, he cleared his throat to try to get her attention, but she had no reaction. So he rolled his eyes and bent down to pick up a small rock and threw it at her. Upon receiving the projectile on her shoulder, (Y/N) turned to throw a glare to the culprit of this idiocy. But as she looked at Rohan, she rolled her eyes.

"...what do you want," she muttered.

"Speak louder, I can't hear you from where you are."

She groaned and got up to come talk to him directly at the window.

"What do you want?!

- Get out of there. We haven't seen you for five days. Did you at least eat?

- Aw... listen to him, he's worried about me!" she sneered, her voice full of sarcasm.

"Tsss, in your dreams."

Silence. But (Y/N) never took his eyes off him, and that was enough to disconcert Rohan Kishibe himself. He groaned, before looking away.

"No, I haven't eaten," she finally replied.

"... I went to get some lasagna at Trattoria Trussadi. Come and have dinner with me, you'll take the opportunity to share your reports with me. At least you won't have worked for nothing."

No matter what he said, he always managed to turn everything to his advantage. Then she gave a small amused smile.

"Wow, the great Rohan Kishibe is inviting me, poor miscreant that I am, to share his divine meal.

- Okay, okay, fine, I understand! I haven't been cool. Come down now, it's going to get cold.

- Mm-mmh, I'm coming."

So that, he was clearly not expecting. After all the time she had spent locked up in the hotel, he would never have believed that she would agree to come to dinner with him. Especially since he really hadn't been the most tender with her. And until he saw her coming out of the hotel, files under her arm, he still couldn't believe it.

"... you look awful," he sighed.

"You too," she replied, ignoring the attack. "Bad day?

- Mm-mmh. Stand Attack.

- I see. You're gonna explain this to me, it will perhaps help us making some progress."

Rohan's villa was absolutely splendid. It was the first time that (Y/N) had access inside, and she was not disappointed.
