"Quick, Luck! Take away his Doctor's Coat! If you do that, he'll get jumped by a whole pack of horse girls, and you'll get the entertainment you wanted!"
This was never a fair duel to begin with.
Tang Han had no means of harming Misfortune God [Over Heaven], and the only thing protecting him—his Doctor's Coat—was controlled by her ally, Luck.
So long as Luck reclaimed the coat right now, Tang Han would lose this battle completely.
Everything should have been nothing more than two goddesses toying with a mortal.
That was how it was supposed to go.
"Come on, Luck! What are you waiting for? Strip off his Doctor's Coat already!"
Misfortune shouted several times, but Luck made no move to take it back. She only stood there, staring at Misfortune.
Luck: OMO
Misfortune: ?
"Luck! Why are you just watching?!"
Luck: OMO
"Luck! Have you betrayed me?!"
Luck: OMO
"What the hell is Luck doing?"
Misfortune God [Over Heaven] frowned at the Luck hovering over Tang Han with that blank OMO expression.
Why wasn't she doing anything?
Had she been frightened senseless by Misfortune's overwhelming power?
"…Forget it. I'll think of something myself."
Using her tiny little brain, Misfortune God [Over Heaven] came up with what she thought was a brilliant idea.
In anime, how do members of the protagonist's party usually die?
"Oh hoh, Tang Han, look over there!"
Following the direction Misfortune pointed, one could see Aoi Kiryuin and Happy Meek, both still in basketball uniforms, hurrying this way to take shelter from the rain.
"I may not be able to hit you, but I can hit innocent bystanders!"
Misfortune God [Over Heaven] hurled a punch toward Aoi Kiryuin and Happy Meek.
"This punch carries twenty years of power. If it hits, they'll fall into a long coma and become vegetables. Their dreams will be reduced to nothing!"
The fist of condensed bad luck flew far too fast. Even if Tang Han ran at full speed right now, he would never make it in time to pull them away.
There was only one way he could save them.
He had to put himself in front of them and take the hit in their place.
"The knife has already fallen. Will you ignore them, or will you save them? Tang Han, what will you do?"
But the question was pointless.
The instant Misfortune God [Over Heaven] attacked those innocent passersby, irrational Tang Han had already started moving.
Before, when Misfortune used Hiroshima Baozha as an example, irrational Tang Han had failed to stop it.
This time, he refused to let another innocent person suffer because of him.
"Mmgh!"
He threw himself in front of Aoi Kiryuin and took the blow for her.
"Trainer Tang Han?"
Aoi Kiryuin stared at the man who had suddenly appeared before her, completely at a loss.
The bad luck began seeping into Tang Han's body.
"Yes! It hit!"
Misfortune God [Over Heaven] cried out in excitement.
The duel was decided now.
And that meant she finally got to say those lines she'd been waiting for.
"You were two moves too late, Kujo Tang Han."
"The Joestar family drew strength from pride and courage in their bloodline, and kept overcoming fate…"
"But blood is also their weakness."
"Kujo Tang Han, your weakness… is innocent bystanders."
Having finished her speech, Misfortune felt utterly refreshed, like the crisp comfort of putting on brand-new underwear on New Year's morning.
Now then, which horse girl would come jumping Tang Han?
Or would she hit the jackpot and summon Tokai Teio directly?
Oh hoh, that would be truly tragic. Surely Luck must be dying to watch that happen too.
"Hm?"
Just as Misfortune thought Tang Han was done for, something strange happened.
A thin protective barrier appeared around Tang Han, blocking the misfortune energy and forcing the already-invading bad luck back out of his body.
"Hm? What's this?"
Irrational Tang Han pulled a lucky charm embroidered with a little sheep from his pocket.
It definitely had not been there a moment ago.
Who had given it to him?
Luck: OMO
"Luck, you bitch! So you really did betray me!"
Misfortune God [Over Heaven] roared.
She had thought Luck had been stunned by her power, which was why she had just stood there instead of taking Tang Han's Doctor's Coat.
Who would have thought she'd done it on purpose?
"Luck, did you betray me because you found an even bigger joke to enjoy?" Misfortune demanded.
To her surprise, Luck shook her head.
"This isn't for fun."
"This is the trap I set."
"A trap? Don't tell me—!"
Misfortune instantly understood what Luck meant, and flew into a rage.
"Luck, you whore! I'll blow you apart! I'll blow both of you apart!"
Countless fists of bad luck slammed against the barrier, making it tremble as though it might collapse at any moment.
Luck descended and came before irrational Tang Han, then pointed seriously at the unconscious girl lying on the ground—Meisho Doto.
"The barrier won't hold much longer. You have to get that lucky charm into the hands of the girl lying there as fast as possible. Only then can Misfortune be driven out."
Then Luck raised a fist toward irrational Tang Han.
"Do it for me, okay? Hit her with the Lucky Punch."
After hearing that, irrational Tang Han gave an awkward but polite smile.
"Okay."
Clutching the lucky charm tight, he staggered toward Misfortune God [Over Heaven].
As Tang Han drew closer with the charm in hand, Misfortune finally panicked and screamed, "Don't come any closer!"
She desperately attacked him with waves of bad luck, but nothing she did could slow him by even an inch.
Very soon, irrational Tang Han was standing right in front of her.
"I'm putting one million horsepower of lucky energy into this—Lucky Burst Punch!"
Boom!
His fist crashed into Misfortune God [Over Heaven]'s face.
"Waaahhhh!"
A tremendous surge of lucky energy poured into her, colliding with and canceling out the bad luck within her spirit body, which began to crack apart.
"Stop it!"
"Kono Dio da! Kono Dio da!"
"I'll come back for revenge!"
After spitting out one last threat, Misfortune God [Over Heaven]'s spirit body exploded.
Boom!
Tang Han was blown away by the blast and slammed to the ground, unconscious.
Luck, hovering over him, looked just as drained.
"Finally… we did it…"
Her spirit was flickering weakly, as though it might disperse at any second.
"It wasn't for nothing… all that acting…"
"Pretending to be a chaos-loving spectator… forming an alliance with Misfortune… tricking her into gathering the power of all her fragments… and then destroying it all in one stroke…"
"For a very long time to come… she won't have the strength to interfere with the mortal world again…"
"Thanks, Boss Tang Han…"
"Now then… go enjoy the real surprise I prepared for you…"
With those final words, Luck's spirit shattered and dissolved into starlight.
Ding. Doctor's Coat duration extended by three months.
