Chapter 2724 Your next sentence is—!
"Hoo-hoo. Hmm?!"
The young man suddenly opened his bright blue eyes wide.
My drowsy feeling vanished instantly.
Instead, they possess a keen, almost animalistic, alertness.
Without even getting up, all the muscles in his body immediately tensed up.
His gaze quickly swept across the surrounding environment.
Starry sky? Round table? Boy? Lolita? Uncle?
"OH MY GOD!"
Joseph Joestar, who had just turned eighteen this year, suddenly jumped up from his Libra seat.
He put his hands on his head, striking an exaggeratedly shocked pose and shouting.
"What kind of hellhole is this?!"
"Didn't I fall asleep in the hotel bed?"
"Could it be that those damned Nazis have done something again?"
"Or is it that Santana guy isn't actually completely dead?"
"Or did some other 'pillar man' appear and drag me into this hallucination?"
Joseph's voice is loud and energetic, and he has a very strong desire to perform.
But deep in his eyes was a cunning and wary look that didn't match his appearance.
"Calm down, new friend."
Aizen pushed up his glasses.
A gentle voice seems to have a magical power to soothe the soul.
"This is not a dream or an illusion."
Joseph's gaze locked onto the source of the sound.
The person wore black-rimmed glasses, a pure white haori, and a black kimono underneath.
His smile was gentle and warm, and his demeanor was humble and polite.
It's like a learned scholar entertaining distant guests in his own courtyard.
But in Joseph Joestar's exceptionally keen intuition...
Beneath that flawless exterior, there seemed to lie a bottomless depth of cunning.
"so?"
Joseph lowered his hand, his burly body leaning slightly forward, and stared at Aizen with a suspicious look.
He was neither arrogant nor humble, and showed no fear.
"Where is this place, and why am I here?"
"You can't fool me, Joseph Joestar."
"Joseph Joestar?"
Aizen repeated the name softly, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.
"So this is your name."
"Welcome to the Council of Stars. I am the administrator here, Aizen Sousuke. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"The Council of Stars?"
Joseph raised an eyebrow, his eyes darting around.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and he abruptly pointed to Aizen.
Before the other person could finish speaking, he shouted, "Your next sentence is—"
“'Congratulations on being elected as a member of parliament,' right!”
The air seemed to freeze instantly.
Subaru Natsuki stared in disbelief, while Perona blinked her big eyes.
Even Aizen's smile faltered slightly.
He then regained his perfect gentleness and depth, watching Joseph clap his hands lightly.
"A brilliant prediction, even though it seems meaningless."
"Hehe, you guessed it!"
Joseph smugly rubbed his nose with his thumb.
His previously tense body relaxed slightly as he sat back down in the chair.
The main reason was that he sensed no hostility from the three people present.
"Since I guessed right, let's chat about it!"
"Um... Mr. Joseph?"
Natsuki Subaru cautiously looked at the burly, carefree man and introduced himself:
“I am Subaru Natsuki, from the Kingdom of Lukenica on the continent of Osara. I was also chosen to become a councilor, but before that, I lived in another modern world.”
"Horo horo horo~"
"My name is Perona, I'm ten years old, and I'm a student at the Starfish Yin-Yang Bureau~"
"You're so tall!"
Perona, whose soul had returned to her body, spoke.
She curiously looked at Joseph, who was sitting next to her on her right.
"He looks a hundred times stronger than Subaru!"
"But should I call you brother or uncle?"
"A hundred times is too exaggerated." Natsuki Subaru smiled wryly after hearing this.
However, he also knew that at only 1.72 meters tall, he was indeed too thin and small compared to the other person.
At this moment, Joseph raised his hand and struck what he considered a cool pose.
"My adorable little princess, she's only eighteen!"
"When you grow up, you can ask me out anytime~"
His words gave Aizen, Subaru, and Perona a basic understanding of him.
He has a lively and witty personality, a touch of cynicism, and an exceptional ability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
But he said he was eighteen? Eighteen years old at 1.95 meters tall?
"Then I'll continue."
Aizen gently pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, the lenses reflecting the shimmering starlight, and spoke again in a calm tone.
"This place is called the 'Council of Stars,' created by the 'Lord of the Stars,' and is a node of consciousness that can traverse endless worlds and connect different destinies."
"Your Excellency is the fourth member of parliament selected."
As for why it was you, it can only be said to be the result of fate.
"The Council of Stars: Different Fates Across Worlds"
Joseph frowned and muttered the words to himself.
It sounds utterly absurd and completely overturns our understanding of the world.
But the starry round table within reach, the incredibly realistic sensory experience, and the presence of these few people in front of you.
All of this proves that it was indeed not a dream or hallucination.
Joseph took a deep breath, as a gentleman of the Joestar family.
He was never lacking in courage, but he was never blindly obedient.
"Then let me formally introduce myself."
“I am Joseph Joestar.”
He straightened his broad back and solemnly announced his name and identity.
"Son of George Joestar, grandson of Jonathan Joestar."
The conversation turned.
Joseph's gaze toward Aizen sharpened like a knife.
"Then I have a question: how can you prove that all of this is not an elaborate hoax?"
Natsuki Subaru's face immediately showed a wry smile of empathy.
"Josta, your suspicions are perfectly reasonable."
Natsuki Subaru frankly stated, "I was also shocked at first."
"But when I was certain that I could speak freely about 'Return of Death' here."
"And through listening to and sharing their experiences and the world around them."
"There's nothing to doubt then."
Aizen listened quietly from his Gemini seat, tapping the table lightly with his fingertips without interrupting.
"That's right, that's right, we'll understand everything once we talk about it."
Perona nodded repeatedly in agreement: "For example, you probably don't know about the World Government, right?"
“World Government.” Joestar frowned slightly. “Isn’t the name of this organization a bit exaggerated? What a boastful tone.”
Aizen spoke up at the opportune moment: "Words alone are indeed somewhat insufficient."
"Then take a look at the recording of our previous meeting."
"This way, there's no need for each new person to repeat their own experience every time they arrive."
Okay, I'm looking forward to it!
After hearing this, Joseph sat down, crossed his arms, and put his legs up.
"But where is the 'Lord of the Stars' you mentioned?"
"He is the true master of this place."
The eyes behind the blue-dyed glasses flickered slightly:
"The greatness of the Lord of the Stars is beyond imagination. If you have the chance, you should be able to meet him."
"However, you can get to know them through videos first."
The voice just fell.
He then used his 'administrator' privileges.
The video recording of the first parliamentary session was played in a holographic virtual format at the center of the Starry Round Table.
"Wow--"
Such a sci-fi scene prompted Joseph to exclaim instinctively.
After all, he lived in 1938.
But he was immediately drawn to the content being played.
Especially the mysterious figure sitting in the Leo seat, shrouded in starlight.
"That is the Lord of the Stars," Joseph murmured to himself.
