Chapter 25 - Chapter 12: Yellow Temperance

"Alright, Takatsuki, you go shower first. Aren't you going out with your two little girlfriends later?"

As soon as he entered the door, Polnareff threw his luggage, which looked like a trash bag, by the bed.

"Okay, I'll go first then."

Takatsuki didn't bring luggage, or rather, he, Kiana, and Raiden Mei didn't have any luggage, as they were suddenly pulled over. He had mentioned this to Joseph on the ship, so Joseph said he would fund them to buy some clothes once they reached Singapore, as this trip wouldn't be over in a day or two.

"Oh, right, this thing isn't convenient to bring in."

Takatsuki took out a small notebook from his pocket and threw it on the table next to the TV.

"What is this?"

"Oh, nothing, just Dio's information. I wrote it down to prevent myself from forgetting."

With that, Takatsuki walked into the bathroom.

Listening to the rushing water sounds from the bathroom, Polnareff's eyes darted to the notebook on the table.

After standing there for about half a minute, Polnareff reached out and opened the small notebook.

But what met his eyes was not any so-called information, but a clown-like doodle.

"!!!"

He quickly closed the notebook, but then he suddenly found that he couldn't exert any strength.

"How…"

As his body collapsed to the ground, the bathroom door opened.

Takatsuki had no water stains on him and looked expressionlessly at Polnareff, who was lying on the ground.

"Takatsuki… What's going on… What did you do…"

Ignoring Polnareff's words, Takatsuki walked to the small notebook he had dropped, picked it up casually, and threw it into his system's backpack.

"It should be about done."

As Takatsuki's words fell, Polnareff's face suddenly burst open, turning into a yellow liquid that slumped to the ground, revealing the true face of the person inside, whose face had transformed into pages of a book.

Heaven's Door!

Just now, after entering the bathroom, Takatsuki had switched to Kishibe Rohan's character card, using the Stand ability to transform others into books by having them view his drawings.

After all, he couldn't be sure if Polnareff in front of him had any issues. If there were no issues, this ability wouldn't harm the innocent, but if there were issues…

"Let me see…"

Heaven's Door's ability is unsolvable, or rather, Stands with "Heaven" in their name are very powerful. There are only two outcomes when Heaven's Door is used: the ability cannot be activated, or the ability activates and directly overwhelms the opponent.

"This time, Emperor, Empress, Hanged Man, and Devil also came."

Except for Devil and the Yellow Temperance in front of him, everyone else should have appeared only after reaching India. It seemed that his appearance had caused changes.

As for Polnareff, after seeing Hanged Man also arrive, he knew that he had probably been deceived by the opponent.

After all, Takatsuki had already told him that Hanged Man was his enemy.

After flipping two pages, Takatsuki's conjecture was confirmed, but Yellow Temperance didn't know the subsequent plans, as they seemed to have chosen different methods to prevent revealing information if captured by the enemy.

All he knew now was that he deliberately left some Yellow Temperance slime in Jotaro Kujo's room to mislead them.

After all, according to that old woman, some of their Stand information had been exposed.

Takatsuki hadn't expected that the information he released just a few days ago would be exposed. He didn't know if it was because walls had ears or some other reason.

However, Takatsuki wasn't worried. He had long been prepared for his Stand use to be discovered by others, even Heaven's Door. He directly wrote commands on Labasso's, that is, Yellow Temperance's, face.

"Do not use your Stand to transform into any of our eight appearances, forget everything you experienced today, have extreme hatred for Dio, and want to kill Dio immediately."

Heaven's Door's ability is very inhumane; it can completely control a person's consciousness.

By writing on a person's pages, it can not only enforce commands but also modify their subconscious.

Takatsuki had no psychological burden regarding the Yellow Temperance in front of him. He knew what kind of person this was, and the original ending was that he was killed by Jotaro Kujo.

Looking at Yellow Temperance, who left like a walking corpse due to Heaven's Door's effect, Takatsuki once again sighed, as an A-rank character card, this Stand was overly overpowered.

Perhaps its rating decreased because of Kishibe Rohan, a user with little combat ability?

Heaven's Door has only one activation condition: the opponent must see a drawing made by the user. In the original work, Kishibe Rohan used it by drawing his Stand in the air or tricking others into looking at his works, which Takatsuki found very cumbersome.

If he were a little shameless, he could just draw on his clothes, and then as long as the opponent saw him, the ability's activation condition would be triggered, wouldn't it?

However, Takatsuki still chose to self-seal this method, and usually didn't use this ability at all, because the feeling of being able to control others so recklessly was too terrifying, just like a wild beast in a cage. If not restrained, once released, it would cause immense harm.

Just as he walked out of the room, preparing to find the others, Takatsuki saw the two girls running towards him.

"Oh, Kiana, Mei, you're here."

"Takatsuki! How are things here? This young lady and Mei were attacked by a Stand user!"

Kiana rushed over and quickly said with urgency.

"I was attacked by Yellow Temperance, but it's already resolved. What about you?"

Hearing Takatsuki's words, Kiana immediately took a stance: "Yellow Temperance! Are you really Takatsuki?!"

Everyone knew that Yellow Temperance could transform into other people's appearances. Looking at Kiana, who was on alert, Takatsuki said somewhat exasperatedly: "Your vigilance is good, but it shouldn't be used so carelessly."

"But if I have to prove it…"

Takatsuki took a bouquet of flowers from his backpack and handed it to Mei: "I haven't had a chance these past few days, but I finally found some flowers today."

"Takatsuki, these flowers…"

Seeing Takatsuki's action, the two naturally knew that the Takatsuki in front of them was real, after all, only the three of them knew about this in this world. However, Kiana still showed some strange expression: "Are they from the vase in the guest room…"

"Cough cough…"

Takatsuki coughed twice, looking at the unknown flowers in his hand and said: "I thought they looked pretty good too."

"It's okay, I like anything you give me."

Before Takatsuki could say anything more, Raiden Mei smiled and took the flowers, making Kiana grind her teeth beside her.
