Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Preliminary Planning

A fried egg, two crispy strips of bacon, two pieces of toast, a vegetable salad, and a glass of juice.

This was Kira Yoshikage's breakfast, exquisite and delicious, enjoyed while listening to relaxing music.

Kira Yoshikage placed his breakfast on the table, then took out his fresh, still-unrotted girlfriend, and enjoyed his delicious meal in her company.

'No wonder Kira Yoshikage enjoys this lifestyle so much; it's indeed peaceful and comfortable, though this hand is a bit of an eyesore.'

'In that case, for the sake of my peaceful and beautiful life, I can only apologize to you all. Farewell, righteous protagonists.'

To be honest, when he first thought of killing the protagonists, he was still considering if it was worth it, as the protagonists' combat power was quite considerable.

But now, Kira Yoshikage was certain: it was very much worth it. In the original story, he would rather die than leave this city, so his willingness to fight the protagonists to the death was understandable.

No matter what, he refused to lose this peaceful and beautiful life. Morioh was the calm sanctuary in the heart of Kira Yoshikage, a murderer.

After finishing breakfast, Kira Yoshikage carefully preserved his girlfriend, then picked up his briefcase and went to work.

He worked at Kameyu Department Store, starting at 8:30 AM every day, never late or leaving early. This was also part of his stable life. At least until he dealt with the protagonists and Kira Yoshihiro, he would completely maintain Kira Yoshikage's behavior.

Of course, after that, he wouldn't need to keep up the pretense. He liked a stable life, but he didn't want to be a workhorse.

With power, with a Stand, this bizarre ability, who would still want to be a workhorse? A weapon in hand, a murderous intent arises.

Power inevitably breeds ambition, especially with a powerful combat-type Stand like Killer Queen, capable of perfect assassination. Such power is bound to give rise to vast ambition, or a twisted mind like Kira Yoshikage's.

And Li Tian was both the former and the latter. He was actually unwilling to accept the fetish for hands, but he was very happy to accept a stable, unchanging life.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the tidy room, the table full of trophies. 'If he didn't have a killing addiction and a hand fetish, he would probably be a very excellent person, but unfortunately, there are no ifs.'

He shook his head with a bitter smile, dispelling the unrealistic fantasies in his mind. Whether to maintain a stable life or to fulfill his obsession, he had to kill next. It was best to get rid of those idle fantasies.

Stepping into the morning sun, Kira Yoshikage walked out of his house, casually pushed open the villa gate, and followed his memory into the garage, where a well-maintained car was quietly parked, awaiting its owner.

According to the original setting, he used a Nissan Skyline R31 in the anime and a Ford Mustang in the manga.

This choice suited his identity as a low-key office worker—it avoided the crowds of public transport and allowed him to maintain his independence, being both ordinary and comfortable.

And the car in the garage was indeed a Nissan Skyline R31. It seemed to be the anime version. Kira Yoshikage's face darkened. Jotaro in Season 4 of the anime was much more ruthless than in the manga.

That invincible Star Platinum was ridiculously strong in the manga, only able to tear Koware Chimamire with terrifying brute force, and even if his time stop couldn't match Black Jotaro, his strength was not to be underestimated.

Not to mention in the anime version.

'However, even if it's the invincible Jotaro, if he tries to stop my peaceful life, I will eliminate him.'

A fierce glint appeared in Kira Yoshikage's eyes. Having experienced a life on the run, he craved this peaceful and comfortable life more than a normal person.

Whoever tried to stop him would die!

If he truly couldn't defeat Jotaro, then he wouldn't hold back. He had a bow and arrow in his bedroom right now. If it came down to it, he wouldn't be polite.

Unleashing a Stand battle across the entire town, letting people randomly awaken Stands, was not out of the question for him, as long as he could live a stable life.

Opening the door, turning the key, stepping on the accelerator—all in one smooth motion. Although he hadn't learned to drive or gotten a license in his previous life, using Kira Yoshikage's muscle memory and memories in his mind, he could manage a fifteen-minute drive.

The morning light filtered through the sparse leaves, dappling the road like golden coins scattered by nature. He slowed down, enjoying this rare peace and beauty.

At the same time, his gaze swept around, checking for familiar faces. Stand Users attract each other, and they might suddenly appear at any time.

But along the way, Kira Yoshikage didn't see any of the familiar characters from the anime. He only saw the intermingling of the bustling atmosphere of a distant breakfast stall and the scent of wildflowers by the roadside, forming a warm tableau of life.

A faint smile unconsciously appeared on Kira Yoshikage's face. He took a deep breath of the fresh air, thinking to himself, 'How wonderful it would be if such days could last forever.'

The way to work wasn't far; Kira Yoshikage arrived at the company in just over ten minutes and started his work on time. He was never late.

The work at the company was tedious and peaceful, very boring, but without any twists and turns. With the experience from his memories, Kira Yoshikage could easily complete his tasks.

His boss was also quite friendly and didn't bother him with random tasks. Well, probably because any boss who caused trouble would be blown to smithereens.

After all, Kira Yoshikage was not a good person. He didn't like people making things difficult for him.

While working, Kira Yoshikage was also silently calculating the time in his mind.

Jotaro would likely arrive here around April 5th, and then on that day or the next, Angelo would kill Higashikata Josuke's grandfather.

Three days later, the two would defeat Angelo and turn him into a stone. Next, they would face the Nijimura brothers; one brother would die, and the other would join the protagonists.

By time estimation, this would take a whole week.

After that, they dealt with Tamami Kobayashi, Surface, and Koichi's romantic problems. He couldn't quite recall the exact time elapsed in between, and he wasn't sure how far along these three events were.

Taking out a piece of paper, Kira Yoshikage made a brief plan and decided on his initial strategy.

"First, use them to eliminate the other murderers in this town, and then eliminate them."

"Tamami Kobayashi and Nijimura Okuyasu are easier to deal with; I'll strike first. Koichi Hirose is weaker, but lucky. I'll find an opportunity to ambush and deal with him personally."

"As for Higashikata Josuke, tsk, the protagonist of this season, the team's healer—if I don't eliminate him, I won't be able to take down anyone else in a team fight. I'll find an opportunity to use his mother to eliminate him."

After planning, Kira Yoshikage's brow furrowed. To be honest, eliminating the protagonists now would probably be easier.

Joseph Joestar hadn't arrived yet, and Jotaro was mostly staying in the hotel, which effectively limited two important combat powers. As for the remaining people, if he used Killer Queen well...

He had absolute confidence that he could eliminate all of them within a day. With Killer Queen's power, he could completely destroy all overt enemies.

But the other murderers in town also annoyed him. Those guys were also disrupting his life. Perhaps the original Kira Yoshikage wouldn't have cared about these details, only thinking about eliminating the protagonists and being done with it.

But the current Kira Yoshikage wanted a truly stable life. He would not allow murderers other than himself to run rampant in town, otherwise his peaceful life could easily be suddenly shattered.

Using the protagonists to eliminate them according to the original destiny was the most stable and secure approach.

However, if he waited, Joseph Joestar would arrive soon, and Kishibe Rohan, the author's self-insert, would also be pulled into the protagonist group. Then things would become difficult to manage.

"This is troublesome, damn it!"

Kira Yoshikage bit his fingernails hard, grabbing his head with one hand and thinking desperately for a solution, even breaking his perfectly manicured nails. At the same time, an excitement unknowingly surged through him.

The thrill made his killing addiction flare up, and his fingernails began to grow uncontrollably.

'Damn it! Of all times, it had to be now. I already measured this morning; it shouldn't be acting up now... Never mind, I'll go test the waters first.'

He looked at his watch; it was already past 12:40. The morning's work was about to end. He would take a walk in the park during his lunch break, which would be a good opportunity to release his desires.

If he was lucky, he might also learn about the protagonists' current situation.
