Chazz and Asahi were walking together, as Asahi has something to share for him, along with the rest of her allies. Not only that…

"Why did I agree with you to go on a date, after we had to go through danger?" He grumbled.

She replied, "It's alright. I agreed to our date, after many distractions. However, I have the biggest news to share."

"How so?"

"Well, I'll tell you, after we get there…"

She nudged herself and rubbed her shoulders, "Man… I couldn't sleep, after hearing the big news… SHE was the reason I got my Stand, in the first place. I can't stop thinking about it."

"What are you talking about?" He asked, "Why are you suddenly stressed? And who's she?"

Asahi replied, "Like I said, I'll tell you later. By the way, where's Kotonoha?"

Chazz said, "Iwata and the others accompanied her to the cemetery, to visit Sekai. You know how she is… Of course, the Ropponmatsus stayed with Makoto. They figured he needed someone to hang with, since it's pretty lonely…"

She stated, "Yeah, I know. Tell her to give my condolences to Sekai, even though what she did was wrong. And I hope that we find this Stand that stole the bow and arrow, soon enough. The others are already at the F City Grand Hotel. But I made sure to NOT go near any electrical devices."

"Right… This is just great. The one time you take me on a date, it's during this whole bizarre investigation!"

"I didn't want this either, but I wanted to tell you something important!" She complained, "In any case, what I have to say is strictly confidential, until the matter is at hand."

He sighed, "Whatever. I'm not really hungry."

She viewed a building, close-by, and then said, "Huh. What is this? An Italian Restaurant? And it just opened. Also, it's close to the cemetery…"

He said, "So? No one's going to eat there, if it's close to a place that is morbid."

She explained, "It's fine, Chazz! It's not like they're feet away from the place. Besides, they usually build stops, for certain faraway travels. But this place?"

She grinned, as she was excited, "FORGET THE USUAL PLACE! We'll dine here~!"

He grumbled, "Alright, babe. Calm down! We'll go in!"

He stated, "Still, didn't this place used to be run-down?"

He looked at the sign, as Asahi stepped in:
"Today's Special: Depends on the Customer – 3,500 Yen"

He thought, "Huh? Depends on the customer?!"

They stepped inside, as it was a pretty small restaurant with a couple tables. Asahi whispered, "This looks rather beautiful."

Chazz said, "Yeah, but I don't see any customers."

"Ah, customers?" A man in a chef's outfit appeared, speaking in an Italian accent, "Benvenuto!"

Episode 46 – Chapter 1: Trendy Italian Food!
A Dinner Date with Junior!

He offered them a seat, as he said, "Two today? Here, signora, please feel free to have a seat."

"Oh, uh, thank you." Asahi sat down.

He offered a seat to Chazz, "And you, signore?"

"Thank you."

They sat together, as the chef said, "Well, then, feel free to have what you like."

Asahi asked, "So, are you like a foreigner or something?"

The chef said, "Ah si, signora, I am originally from Japan, but my Papa was from Italy. My name is Tonio Trendi Jr., but people call me Tonio, just like my Papa."

Asahi gasped, "THIS IS AMAZING! You're the son of the famed chef, Tonio Trussardi?"

Tonio Jr. said, "My role as chef has taken me into many countries. Learning from my Papa, I use my homeland's recipes, and fused them with the culinary sensations of the world. Now, I made my way to my home in Japan, with newer opportunities. You see, Tonio, my Papa, was traveling all over the world, to find the delicate cuisine… And about twenty years ago, he visited Morioh Town, and it was such a magnificent town. Your F City, however, is more than that. It's splendid. You can find fresh farms with many fresh produce, its fruite de mare is great, too. I enjoyed it here. North City was under a roadblock, so I ended up here… I figured, I'd start here in this lesser known but splendid commute. So, using F City's somewhat alluring culture, I dedicated myself to continue Papa's work, by making everyone happy."

Asahi giggled, "Sweet! This is so awesome! I don't know what to order… Oh, I'd like a menu, please~!"

She smiled, but Tonio Jr. replied, "Sorry, but we do not have menus here."

Asahi asked, "Eh? Wait a minute? If you do not have a menu, then how are you going to order food?"

Tonio Jr. said, "What I serve, it depends on the patron I am serving."

She protested, "What kind of place has food without a menu? How can you tell?"

Tonio Jr. said, "Well, first I examine the customer, and they'll know what I give them."

She asked, "Huh? That seems awfully ridiculous."

Chazz said, "No kidding…"

Tonio said to her, "Signora, let me hold you…"

He held her hands and said, "Let's see… You've got a stomach-ache, last night… Your intestinal walls are inflamed, and you had very little sleep, last night, lasting up to four hours a day… which of course explains the puffy eyes."

He held her left hand and added, "Just as I thought. Your right foot has suffered a blister and fungus from walking too long. You also have a cavity in your mouth, and your left shoulder is stiff, yes?"

She shrieked, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"

Chazz asked her, "Wait… You had a fever?"

Asahi moaned, "No, it's not that! I mean… I was overworked, since I arrived here…"

He sighed, "Oh, good grief… Asa, you need to calm yourself."

Tonio Jr. said, "It's all in the hands, amico mio. They are like a window to your health."

He offered them water and said, "Now, please excuse me."

He poured water into wine glasses, and he asked Chazz, "Now, signore, what about you? Would you like something?"

Chazz said, "No, I'm not hungry… but I'd like a coffee. No, make it a cappuccino."

Tonio Jr. smiled, "Ho capito, signore."

He leaves, as Chazz was concerned. He whispered to Asahi, "Hey, Asa, listen… If you don't mind, be careful of what this guy prepares… Health food tastes like dog shit."

Asahi said, "Not always. Besides, I was worried about how he cooks."

"Well, if he does create something bad, shut it down. You are a cop, right? Whatever he has, if it's terrible, we'll walk away and leave."

"Right. But I think we should trust him, for now… New places can be fancy, but…"

She took a drink of water, as he asked her, "By the way, what was the news you wanted to tell me about?"

Asahi's eyes opened, as she was speechless. She looked at her glass and cried, "No way! This is…"

She cried out, holding her glass, "This water… No, it has to be mineral water!"

"What about it?" He asked her.

She replied, "I can't place my finger on it, but this is the best water I have ever tasted!"

"What? Best water?"

"It's like a mountain princess playing a harp would drink, if she was strumming a beautiful melody!"

Chazz took a sip and gasped, "WOW! You're not joking! This is amazing!"

Asahi chugged it all down and then cheered, "DIVINE!" and she smiled, "It's so beautiful. I normally get water before a meal, when I eat, but this is so sensational!"

He added, "You're right. It's first-rate! Wish we knew what kind of brand this water is."

Asahi was sniffling, as she sobbed, "Yes… but even so, I'm going to cry now…"

Chazz huffed, "Come on. A little sip of water isn't going to make one burst into tears."

Asahi wept, "It must be its purity…" and she started to cry tears out of her eyes. But the tears wouldn't stop.

Chazz gasped, "Asa, you're acting weird! What's gotten into you?"

She bawled, "I can't help it! I cannot stop crying!"

She was crying an endless stream of tears, as if it was falling like a waterfall. She cried, "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!"

He shouted, "Asa, baby, I can't say for sure, but your eyes, well, the white part of your eyes, they've gone shriveled and dry!"

Tonio Jr. returned and said, "Momento, please, try to remain calm."

Chazz shouted, "You bastard! What the hell did you do to her water?"

Tonio Jr. smiled and said, "Tranquilo, signore. Her eyes have only temporarily withered. She had fifty thousand year old mineral water made of melted snow, from Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. It flushes the eyes' interior of harmful contaminants, and it's a special cause for sleep deprivation. The reason you didn't cry, after drinking the water, was because you had an adequate amount of sleep, last night."

Asahi's eyes returned and she smiled, "Chazz, he's right! I don't feel sleepy, anymore~!"

"Wait a second!" He shouted, "You mean there's nothing wrong with your eyes?"

She smiled, "Exactly! I know you're saying this is bizarre and dark, but hear me out. When you drink lots of water, you're bound to cry out tears, sooner or later. Trust me, babe, you know me. I even let out tears, whenever I perform on movies, back in the day. I even cried to certain romance movies, and I still let it out. Thanks for caring, though."

She sat down, as he said, "Well, I guess I was wrong."

She huffed, "You should be. But that's alright."

Tonio Jr. served some coffee and said, "Here's your cappuccino, sir."

Chazz said, "Oh, thanks."

XXXXX

Tonio's next dish was antipasto. Asahi blushed, as she said, "So delicious~!"

This was his antipasto – five tomato slices and four slices of mozzarella cheese, thinly sliced in a pattern, complete with his special house dressing.

Steffi explained, as she appeared in the background, "House Dressing's recipe includes one anchovy fillet, wakame, olive oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, salt and pepper, basil on the top, toasted bread, and lettuce for garnish. Sounds tempting, I know!"

She vanished, as Tonio Jr. said, "For antipasto, I've prepared Insalata Caprese with mozzarella."

Asahi asked, "Mozza-what now? I know what the cheese is, but I never knew it was from your kind."

Tonio Jr. said, "Goodness, you never knew much about mozzarella? It's a soft low-fat cheese that's quite tasty."

Asahi smiled, "I see… Like when Peter has his pizzas~!"

Tonio Jr. nodded, "Si, signora. It is a national favorite in Italy. The first people to use tomatoes as a culinary ingredient were the Italians. The Italian World is best known for its tomato-based cuisine. I'm not bragging, but it's the honest proof. My Papa, he was born in Napoli, and he take pride in our work, likewise all of us. Now then, I hope you enjoy your meal, ma'am."

Asahi smiled, "Trust me, I will!"

She took a bite of the cheese and said, "Not bad. But… the cheese itself doesn't seem pretty good. Should I have it with tomato? It does seem like a raw pizza, if you ask me."

Tonio Jr. pleaded, "No-no, signora, it's not meant to be eaten by itself, and yes, you got to add tomato to it."

Asahi said, as she took another piece, "Well, okay then. But like you, I'm Japanese. So, we have sensitive pallets; but you would know, since you're part-Japanese. This is going to have to be a mind blower, to impress Asahi Sakurai."

She took another bite of the antipasto, and she suddenly freaked out in delight, "SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD! IT'S AMAZING HOW THE FRESH TOMATO AND NECTAR FUSE WITH THE DELICATE CHEESE! WHAT A COMBINATION! THE CHEESE AND TOMATO ENRICH EACH OTHER!"

Tonio Jr. smiled, "Grazie! Nothing makes me happier than to see someone enjoy my cooking~!"

Chazz gasped, and offered, "Hey, baby, how about sharing some for your boyfriend?"

Asahi giggled, "Sure…"

She offered him a small bite, but Asahi jerked it away and snickered, eating the bite, "PSYCHE! Not gonna happen, baby! You're not taking my Insalata Whatever, even if you'd beg me!"

"DICK! I knew you'd be such a greedy wench, but you're too pushy! Fine then!"

He called, "I'll have what she's having, and don't skimp the tomato!"

Tonio smiled, "If you like, signore… but I can assure you, the one with the shoulder problems will be the little lady, next to you."

Asahi asked, "Eh? What are you talking about?"

He asked her, "Signora, would you kindly remove the straps on your dress?"

She said, "Uh, okay…" and then showed her bare shoulders from under her dress. She then asked him, "Okay, now what?"

She moaned, as she was sweating, "What the hell? My body feels like it's getting warm… and…" and suddenly her arm started to scratch onto her left shoulder. She whimpered, "I had no idea what it is, but I'm getting itchy!"

She kept scratching her left shoulder, until she peeled off most of her skin. She shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Chazz cried, "ASAHI! What the hell?"

Asahi sobbed, "What is that? What is this stuff from my shoulders?"

Tonio Jr. said, "It's dead skin."

Asahi cried, "Dead skin?!"

He explained, "This is proof that we greatly improve your metabolic function and circulation. The calcium and minerals in the antipasto has increased your thyroid and metabolic conditions. The harmful cells are being expelled as dead skin, which is why you've been overcome with an itching sensation. Molto benne, keep scratching like that, because at the rate you're going… the dead skin will be gone, in no time."

Asahi continued digging, as she screamed, "GONE? For all we know, my arm will fall off, if I keep going!"

Chazz called, "Take it easy, babe! This dead skin's the size of a softball! The dead skin's getting into your shoulder's muscle now!"

Asahi stopped, as she gasped, "NO… I feel…"

She stretched her arms, "My arms and shoulders are flexible now! How amazing!"

She sighed, as she stretched her arms back, "This is so cool… I never knew how much muscle stress I had, back in my idol days. This stiffness is gone~!"

Chazz was concerned, but also a bit suspicious over Tonio Jr. who held Asahi's dead skin in a plate. He said to them, "If you'll excuse me, I'll be heading back to the kitchen. That pasta isn't gonna cook itself. But first, I shall dispose of signora's dead skin."

He left, as Asahi smiled, "He's amazing, way better than his father! This is where we eat, from now on!"

Chazz huffed, "No. I don't trust it…"

He thought, as he glared at Tonio Jr., "I don't know what's going on, but there's something definitely wrong with this chef… and his freaky cooking…"

Chazz has something about Tonio that he knows, but Asahi doesn't. What could it mean?

GANG BREAK!

Steffi returned, as she was outside Tonio's restaurant. She said, "Before we continue this chapter, there's something about Tonio's father, Mr. Tonio Trendi…"

Steffi Matheson's Morioh Town Archives – #3: Trattoria Trussardi

She explained, as she was behind the building of Tonio Sr.'s place, "Behind me is TrattoriaTrussardi, the diner of THE Tonio Trendy… with a Y, not an I. Anyways, not many people know this, except for a select few… Tonio's a Stand User… Sorry for spoiling it, but it's true. Twenty years ago, Tonio Trendy visited Morioh, to try out new challenges. He befriended Josuke and Okuyasu, after Okuyasu visited his brother's grave. This place opened to the public, and served to people to make everyone happy. I, myself, would love to be in here… but I run Steffi's, which is behind in the ranks. A culinary arts student's work is never done!"

She pumped her fist and shouted, "Someday, I want to know more about this food that Tonio and his family made!"

She giggled, "But anyways, since his father was a Stand User, what of the son? We'll let you know, in a short time. For now, on with the chapter!"

Tonio Jr. returned, as he served Asahi some spaghetti. He said, "And now, signora, today's pasta – spaghetti alla Puttanesca."

Steffi said, as she narrated, "Known only as a delicious meal, with spaghetti, mixed with pitted black olives, olive oil, anchovy fillet, garlic, chili flakes, cherry tomatoes, Parsley, salt and pepper, and a dash of parmesan, served piping hot! Such a delicate spicy dish!"
The narrator added, "Also known as Whore's Pasta, this dish originated with prostitutes who created it with easy preparation. While cheese is not usually added to pasta, prepared with garlic, this dish is a notable exception."

Steffi giggled, "Ohhh, so the cheese is in this spaghetti! My bad." And then she vanishes.

Asahi took a bite, and said, "Hmm… Uh, did someone break the 4th wall and say chili flakes?"

Tonio Jr. smiled, "Oh, yes, it is."

She protested, "OUT OF THE QUESTION! You know I'm not good with spicy food! Peter once ate a spicy Buffalo chicken frank, and he got the shits for two days! And Farra's too good on spiciness… which is why I should've guessed she pranked him to eat that Buffalo dog."

Tonio Jr. said, "You did say that it has chili flakes, right? The spaghetti alla puttanesca is one of the oldest dishes in Italian Cuisine. And not to brag again, but Papa's hometown, Napoli (or Naples) is considered the birthplace. So, of course, I give it the highest possible recommendation."

She whined, "But it's too spicy! Aw man… Eimi used to hate onions… and me, I always hate spicy stuff… It's even worse than goldenrod bouquets, which I'm allergic to!"

Chazz huffed, "If you want my advice, The Chazz will tell you how to avoid this spicy food – DON'T eat it!"

Tonio Jr. glared at him, and then smiled, "If it's not to your liking, don't force yourself. I'd be more than happy to remove the pasta from your bill. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll prepare the main course."

He walked off, as he added, "Oh, by the way, I make my spaghetti much more enjoyable, even to those who have the lowest tolerance for spicy foods."

He departed, as Asahi sobbed, nervously holding her fork, "Oh, I can't do it! It's too spicy! It's like eating fire!"

She said, "I know Tonio's a master chef, and so is his son, but this isn't his best work… I don't think I can stomach it, even if it is his best work, I wouldn't appreciate it."

Chazz said, "No. You lucked out on your spice intolerance."

He said to her, in private, "Don't you think it's a bit shady about this guy?"

"Shady? What are you talking about?"

"Well, there's something freaky about this food and water. I know you're trying to eat, but you scratched off a softball-sized mound of dead skin, and you even cried a freaking waterfall, beforehand."

"I guess I did…"

"Do you think you can figure it out, Asa? You're the ONLY person with the mental knowledge of bizarre stuff."

"Wait, are you saying that he's a Stand User?! I know what happened with my back was weird, but that one time in Inagawa's onsen in Kobe, I lost a lot of dead skin and stiffness, and my back feels even better now, back then."

He pounded his hand and shouted, "LISTEN! Remember that conference call you and your loser friends had? Stands are drawn together by fate!"

"Chazz Princeton, you're being ridiculous!" She barked.

She sighed and said, "But… You may be right…"

She took a bite, but did not eat it. She yelled, "OH, COME ON! I can't even touch it with my tongue, and already it's too hot for me to handle!"

He shouted, "Look, I said don't eat it! Don't act like you're scared of touching it!"

She sobbed, "I'm trying… but spicy foods are not my cup of tea… but I couldn't resist the sauce…"

She inhaled the bite, as he cried, "WHAT? YOU DID IT? You said that you wouldn't eat spicy foods!"

She was eating the spaghetti, as she was amazed, "It's like in an anime, and not the other anime that we are doing… It's like that anime Food Wars… Normally, I'd stay away from spicy foods… but this…"

She continued to chow down, as she shouted, "THIS IS MADNESS! SHEER BRILLANCE, EVEN! After the first bite, it bit back and wouldn't let go!"

He yelled, "Stop eating that crap!"

She cried, "I can't explain it, but I'm getting even hungrier!"

She finished, as she suddenly moaned, "Ungh… Why do I have a feeling that my stomach is about to burst…"

Chazz cried, "WHAT? No, Asa, please no-!"

SHOT!
Asahi's tooth suddenly flew out, and shot onto the table. Chazz gasped, "Holy shit, your tooth!"

Asahi held her mouth and gasped, "What the-? That's my tooth! And look, a cavity? Now that you mention it, Tonio Jr. did say that I had a cavity in my teeth… but he didn't say where."

Her jaw started to contort, "Chaaaaazz? What's wrong with me?"

Another tooth shot out, and she screamed, "WHAAAAAAAAA?"

Chazz asked, "Hold on, were you cheating on your sweets intake? I should've guessed those chocolates I gave you had nuts in it!"

She pleaded, "No, it's not what you think, babe! I…"

She was screaming in pain, as Asahi's two teeth that were flung out started to grow. She shrieked, as he cried, "WHOA! A new molar is growing in! Wait… Can this be real?"

Asahi's mouth was fully healed, with brand-new teeth. She was amazed, as she blushed, "Oh, WOW! My teeth are beautiful!"

Chazz roared, "Okay, that does it! I'm putting an end to this chef's heavenly cuisine from hell!"

"DO IT, OJAMA STAR!" He called out, unleashing Ojama Star, and it smashed the spaghetti plate with one punch. The plate regenerated, and suddenly, the spaghetti was turned into pieces of dry pasta and cherry tomatoes.

"Awww, I was not finished with it!" She sobbed.

He said, "Sorry, but I had to revert the pasta back to its original ingredients."

The pasta reverted to its normal ingredients, but suddenly, small vegetable monsters appeared from the pasta, and dashed into the kitchen.

Asahi gasped, "Is that-? NO WAY! Those are Veggie People…"

Chazz replied, "So I was right… It was a Stand."

Asahi then groaned, holding her stomach. He said to her, "Babe, it's alright. We know now that his Stand is able to-."

She pleaded, "No… He's innocent… My shoulders are loose, my teeth are perfect, and my eyes are fixed… but…"

She shouted, "MY STOMACH HURRRRRRRRRTS!"

He said, "WHAT? Stay right here! I'll handle this!"

He ran into the kitchen and shouted, "Tonio! What the hell are you trying to pull?"

He ran inside and looked around to find the chef. It was pretty dark, as Tonio was serving his food to a small puppy. He smirked evilly, as the dog was eating it, "Eat it, little one."

Chazz snuck around, as he then viewed a plate of lamb chops, and thought, "So, he's already finished our main course…"

Tonio Jr. smiled, "Eccellente. I hope you enjoyed it, little one. Judging by this, my lamb with apple relish was a success."

The dog finished eating it, and suddenly…
SPLOOSH!
Guts and entrails emerged from the dog's mouth. Chazz gasped in horror and cried, "WHAT THE WHAAAAAA?"

Tonio Jr. turned around and gasped, "You… You were in the kitchen! DID YOU SEEEEEEEEEE?"

He threw his knife at him, nearly nicking his face. The chef roared, "ANSWER THE QUESTION, PAR FAVORE! DID YOU ENTER MY KITCHEN TO SPY ON ME?"

Chazz shouted, "You got a lot of nerve asking me something that YOU'RE doing!"

"YOU'LL PAY DEARLY FOR THAT!"

"You threaten me to pay? I SHOULD BE THREATENING YOU! NOW COME CLEAN! WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT FOOD OF YOURS?"

Before an answer was made, Asahi suddenly appeared, devouring the lamb dish. Chazz turned around and cried, "WHAT THE-? ASAHI?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"

Asahi was munching, as she moaned, "I can't help it… My stomach hurts, but… I wanted more to eat! I just can't stand it!"

Chazz shouted, "ASAHI SAKURAI, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DROP THE MEAT!"

Asahi cheered, "MMMMMMMMMMMMMNGH, THIS IS THE BEST DATE EVER! THE FOOD IS SO AMAZING!"

SPLOOSH!
Her guts and intestines spilled out, as she gagged out blood. She cried out, "Wait, what? WHAAAAAAAAAT?"

Chazz screamed, "DAMN IT! NO! ASA!"

She sobbed, as she was croaking, "What the hell is this? My body is-? URK!"

He screamed, "NOOOOOOO!"

Tonio Jr. held up a brick and roared, "YOU! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"

He lunged at Chazz, and held at his face… … … a bar of medicinal soap?

"You dare enter my kitchen with your filthy hands? You clean up your hands with soap, this instant!"

Chazz asked in confusion, "Eh? Soap?"

"Honestly! Entering a kitchen without permission is inexcusable! Ascolti, cleanliness in the kitchen is priority number one, amico mio!"

Chazz asked, "Wait… Wash my hands? You weren't trying to kill me?"

Asahi called, "Hey, Chazz!"

She was whole again, as she cried, "You cannot believe it! My stomach is no longer cramped, and I'm fit as a fiddle! Also, my stomach-ache is gone!"

"WHAT?!" He cried.

Tonio Jr. laughed, "Oh, my, that is wonderful to hear, signora! I love it when my cooking gives happiness and health to a customer. Believe me, there is no greater accomplishment than nurturing a hungry soul."

The puppy barked, as he was whole, too. He gasped, "Wait… Why the puppy? But… I saw…"

Tonio Jr. explained, "Well, it's hard to explain, but like your lover, this furry friend had a stomach cramp, as well. With such unconventional flavors, I figured I would have him taste test it."

Chazz asked, "So, you only did this to…"

Asahi sighed, "What a relief. Chazz thinks you're doing your cooking for, uh, other means."

Tonio Jr. asked, "Why do you say that? Other means? What else could a chef want but to have his customer enjoy good food? It's everything I could ever hope for, just like Papa…"

Chazz asked, "Curious… but is your father a Stand User, like you?"

Asahi showed her Stand, and said, "Sir… Answer the question…"

Chazz showed his Spirit Caller, as Tonio Jr. cried, "Oh, my! So it's true!" And he, too, unleashed his Vegetable Stand.

He explained, "Where to start? Well, you should know, that long ago, my father was blessed with an amazing power, 20 years ago, when he set foot in Morioh. I was, of course, born with this power, when I came to F City, and suddenly, as soon as I opened shop, my skills that Papa passed down onto me were awakened. Never in my wildest dreams that, like my Papa, I would meet someone with amazing abilities, like myself…"

Asahi giggled, "Well, that's true, except his is a Spirit Caller, while mine is a Stand."

Chazz grumbled, "Why do people keep calling my Ojama Star a Stand?"

Tonio Jr. scolded, "Well, introductions aside… IT'S NO EXCUSE TO YOU, SIGNORE! YOU HAVE TO POSSESS COMMON SENSE! You touched my kitchen, without washing your filthy hands! I know Papa told me once that Stands are drawn to others, as enemies, but in the kitchen, the TRUE enemy of all is GERMS! If I was crossed with you earlier, this is the reason why!"

He gave Chazz and bucket and rag, as he pleaded, "Wha-? No, I had no idea! I'm sorry!"

Tonio Jr. yelled at him, "I'll overlook this fiasco, but I hope you're ready for the hard work coming!"

He turned to Asahi and smiled, "As for you, signora, let us continue the meal."

Apparently, Tonio Jr. is friendly, and Chazz and Asahi mistook him for an enemy. But in the end, Chazz and Asahi gained a new friend.

"Dessert is… flan?" Asahi was served flan pudding, as she was annoyed, "I was expecting much… but oh well. I never had flan before."

Asahi ate the pudding, as she was completely moved and excited.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! SO DELICIOUS~! HE REALLY IS A GENIUS~!"

As for Chazz, however, he heard Asahi's cries of pleasure and joy, while scrubbing the kitchen.

"This is so amazing! The pudding in my mouth is so creamy and tasty!" She cried out.

He grumbled, "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Laugh it up, Asa!"

Tonio Jr. smiled, "It sounds as though she is enjoying dessert."

He glared at Chazz and roared, "That kitchen isn't gonna clean itself!"

Chazz scrubbed harder and growled, "Oh, maaaaaaaaan! This is the worst date ever! WHY? WHY? WHY DO I EVEN DATE HER, IN THE FIRST PLACE?"

End result, Asahi was happy, and moreover, those blisters on her foot were gone, too.

XXXXX

In the end, Chazz and Asahi enjoyed Tonio's, but…
Tonio Jr. bowed, "I look forward to meeting you two again, my new friends. Molto grazie!"

He winked, as they left the restaurant, satisfied and a bit happy. … … …well, except for Chazz.

He asked her, "Oh, by the way, we never got that news from you. What was it?"

Asahi then said, as she was worried, "Uh… I forgot…"

[Tonio Trussadi Jr. – Green Jelly: Friendly; NO hostilities, but hates germs; a worthy Stand User for health and happiness; inconclusive report]

Now that Chazz and Asahi are full, we move on. Asahi has forgotten about Michelle Nevins arriving in F City Port. But… Will Acid Rain make an appearance again?
