Last time, if you recall, The Gang Aces and Chazz were in many problems in F City, including the Stand Users in the area, caused by a bow and arrow.
The first they encountered was Anjuro Katagiri, who was a serial killer from Morioh, circa 1999, wanting revenge on the Higashikata family for running him in, including Josuke Higashikata. After Angelo was defeated, one-by-one, Stand Users appeared in F City, creating trouble for The Gang and Chazz Princeton:
Sekai Saion-Ji – Three Hundred (deceased)
Kotonoha Katsura – The Hook
Juvia Lockser – Acid Rain (Apprehended)
Akari Hanao – Double Jeopardy
Enju Saion-Ji – Grease Lightning
That Man 2019 – The Lock and Key
Haruko Haruhara – Blade Runner (Retired)
Tonio Trendy Jr. – Green Jelly (Friendly)
Kazuki Sendo – Heaven's Gate
Two rats – one being called Ratatouille (Both deceased)

Though they were subsided, and with some of them out of commission, F City has become peaceful as ever. Until…

Chazz was by the payphones at the bank, as he was annoyed. He said, "Good grief…"

He roared, as he read his receipt, "HOW COULD I ONLY HAVE 285 YEN IN MY NAME?! Last I checked, I had 20,000 Yen in my savings!"

He looked at his wallet and groaned, "JUST TWELVE YEN?! Shit! Why does everything happen to me now? I gotta work on my spending habits. I promised that Asa and I would go on our date… But damned the Old Hag and her baby stuff! I had 20,000 Yen in my savings, and I've wasted them all, because of that hag's greedy shopping! AAAAGH!"

He growled, "Even after she said that she was confused by which was which, I should've joined in! Damn her, and damn that invisible baby!"

He sighed, "Eventually, she paid me back the 130,000 Yen, after she apologized, and Fatass and the Blonde vouched to chip in… after that, I got bit by a spending bug, and all of it went out the window!"

He panicked, "BUT STILL, WHY DID I HAVE TO GO AND SPLURGE, WITHOUT EVEN THINKING TWICE? NOW I'M BROKE!"

He sighed, "Oh, who cares… Maybe I'll find a thousand Yen lying in the street, somewhere… but what are the odds of finding it, in town? That's so impossible…"

He heard a small sound, and turned to the trashcan. A figure walked on its hind legs, in a white form, with blue stripes. It was the shape of a small mouse, as it was carrying a 1 Yen coin.

"A… Is that… A Stand?" Chazz shivered.

The mouse blew dust off the coin, and shouted in a high-pitched tone, "Mine! Got 1 Yen! Hehehehehe!"

It scampered away, as Chazz thought, "Was that a Stand? And why did it take a 1 Yen coin?"

It run up the walls and ran to the exit. He cried, "You bastard! GET BACK HERE!"

The mouse Stand ran away, as he whispered, "A Stand? So tiny… But… Why take a coin? Just when this day just couldn't get any worse off…"

Episode 48 – Chapter 1: Harvest Mice!
Cute Android Girl, a Thousand Stands!

Chazz chased after the mouse Stand, as he yelled, "GET BACK HERE, YOU MOUSE BASTARD!"

He thought, "A tiny Stand, shaped of an anthropomorphic mouse! Just where is it heading?"

A second mouse Stand appeared, as he gasped, "Eh? Two Stands? Is this…"

A third mouse Stand appeared, as he growled, "Bastards! Assholes will pay for this!"

A female voice shouted, "HOW DARE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU?"

He recognized the voice, "ASA?"

Asahi was running, as she was extremely angry, "YOU CREEPY LITTLE FURBALLS! I'LL SQUISH YOU FLAT!"

Chazz called, as he ran with Asahi, "Asa? Baby?"

Asahi said, "OH! Chazz! There's no time! I'm afraid we'll have to cancel our date… LOOK! Enemy Stand, and they're mice! I HATE MICE!"

She cried, "WAAAGH? There's three of them? But…"

He said, "I know. There was one of them at the bank, and scampered away with a Yen coin. By the way, did it hurt you?"

She replied, "No… well, sort of. I was buying me some Capri water, and that little bastard scared the daylights out of me, and spilled all my water onto my blouse! It came out from under the vending machine, and I was drenched!"

He asked, "WHAT? It didn't attack you?"

She cried, "I had no idea they'd multiply! WHY DID F CITY RUIN MY BEST BLOUSE?"

Another mouse appeared, and called "Found one~!"

Asahi gasped, "Hey, there's four of them now!"

But the Stands continued to multiply, as they chanted, "Found one~! Yeah, mine! Let's go!"

He growled, "Damn! Remember Hatsuharu Sohma? From what I learned from Heather and Yamabuki, back in Pakistan, one year ago, he had a Spirit Caller that can multiply, fooling the enemy. It's the weakest Spirit Caller ever, but…"

She said, "So… It could very well be one person. Stands and Spirit Callers are used by ONE Stand per user. And I don't even recall. I was back in New York, while you were there fighting Haru!"

He stated, "What about back when we were searching the old house with Tsukasa? Apparently, Sekai Saion-Ji had multiple Stands and Spirits, like it was an army."

"Sekai deserved it, after she was killed by Acid Rain; albeit she didn't deserve it!"

He explained, as they were chasing the mice, "Okay, okay! Since they're obviously retreating, they're different than Sekai Saion-Ji. Let's tail them!"

Asahi cried, "RIGHT!"

They arrived at the forest, as the mice retreated to a tree. Chazz called, "Be careful! The Stand user's nearby. Focus!"

They ducked behind the bushes, as they waited. But then, the mice shot out projectiles in the air, and they hovered down into a pile. They were coins, in different Yen amounts. Asahi whispered, "Yen coins? What the wha?"

He replied, "Now that I think about it, this little bastard found a One Yen coin, under the trashcan. So many 1 Yen and 10 Yen coins, and all real! What the hell is this?"

A female figure with blue hair, wearing a red scarf, white and black cow-print cat ear hat, and a blue blouse and skirt, with thigh-high socks, approached the pile of coins. She called, "Good work, boys! Wow, this is a lot from recently!"

She looked at the pile and said, "Many a nickel makes a mickle. There's got to be about 5,000 Yen in total!"

They gasped, as the girl smiled, "Heh-heh~! As long as I have you, Harvest, I won't be worried about money again~!"

Chazz whispered to Asahi, "So… Asa, that's the Stand User… She's talking to her Stand. See if you can analyze her."

Asahi whispered, "Chazz, I'm not a robot. Mech-Asahi cannot do that, anyways."

She explained, "But the way I see it, this kid's fell victim to the same bow and arrow from before. I bet she's made this way, but she doesn't seem hostile."

Leaves were rustling, as the girl approached them. She glared at them, as she beeped, "Humans… Two of you…"

They gasped, as she stared down. But then she grinned, as they were stunned. She called, "I bet you saw me, did you? Don't tell me that you saw my Harvest!"

Chazz and Asahi were stunned, as the girl smiled, "Come now… Anyone who chases my Harvest Mice must have seen it. I believe that they are called… Android Mice!"

Chazz explained, as he and Asahi reveal their powers, "No. They're called Stands."

The girl gasped in shock, "OHHHH! You got mysterious powers?"

Chazz said, "Yes. However, my girlfriend has a Stand. What you see here is similar to a Stand. It's called a Spirit Caller."

He introduced himself, "I'm Chazz Princeton. And this is Asahi Sakurai, my girlfriend."

The girl wept in excitement, "OH, SO COOL! You guys are awesome!"

She introduced herself, "My name is Minatsu Amakase. I am a second-year student in St. Culture Academy, after being transferred from Kazami Academy… which I was unfairly expelled from. Spare times: I happen to run myself a detective agency, downtown in Tokyo. I was thinking of visiting F City, to learn more about my roots."

She continued, "The other day, I witnessed a huge urban legend about two female robots that died in a huge explosion in this city, long ago. See? This was the girl I mention."

She held up a picture of Ropponmatsu 1 and said, "She's my idol, despite that she's a screw-up."

Asahi asked, "Huh? You know Ropponmatsu Unit 1?"

Chazz viewed the mice and asked, "Hold on… Minatsu? These mice bastards… are called Harvest? Are they really the ones that grabbed all those coins?"

Minatsu smiled, "Yep. And before you answer, I found these coins in hard-to-find places… Ditches, underneath vending machines, all sorts of things there. But I am NO thief, if that's what you're thinking!"

She protested, "A policeman ignored me, saying that I cannot turn in lost denominations that are less than 100 Yen! I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!"

Chazz exclaimed, "Whoa there! That's a not bad thing you are doing! I'm saying that it's a generous thing that you're doing… Though, it's not much, but you're putting all of the forgotten change back into the Japanese economy. I mean, change is never found a lot, but you're doing great."

DING!
Minatsu cheered, "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I can't believe it! I'm the best!"

She scooped up the change, as Asahi asked, "Is this what you call a blind spot for ideas?"

He explained, "Well, she did steal loose coins in every hidden area. Technically, no one knows about it, and it's not illegal."

She huffed, "I'm jealous… and you're smart. We can't arrest her, if it's that trivial."

Chazz growled, "Good grief, Asa. Do you mind go Off-Duty Mode, for once?"

She snorted, "Hmph!"

Minatsu stopped, as she sobbed, "Did you just say… I'm smart? No one ever said that to me… You humans are all the same, but you two are special~! I have picked up about 120,000 Yen today, and let alone-."

Chazz and Asahi screamed out, "A HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND YEN?!"

Minatsu smiled, "Yep. And I still got it!"

He asked, "Yeah, but… 120,000 Yen, and all in F City?"

Minatsu explained, "I never left F City, collecting lost and loose change! I may be with an incredible sense of direction, but I would never leave this city! This is a pure gold mine for humans to leave pocket change they forgot!"

Chazz was forlorn, "120,000 Yen… and I only have twelve… and she's rolling in it…"

Asahi backed away, as he glared at her, "ASA!"

She squealed, "EEP!"

She bowed her head and moved her left foot. She then sniffled, "I am so rotten… Why would I force myself into-?"

He yelled, "ASA! Why the hell were you trying to steal a coin from an innocent Stand user?"

She complained, "There were three 50 Yen coins I found! Minatsu may have found it, but I would've found it easily!"

He huffed, "WHY did I ever agree to date you, you moron?"

Minatsu sighed and offered a can of change, "Well, if you're that needy, have half of mine, since we're friends and all."

They asked, "Eh?"

Minatsu said, "I mean, we have kindred spirits, so to say, so I'm offering to give you my fortune, and split it down the middle. Only I get more, since it's only 60,000 Yen… What's 30,000 Yen to friends? …and you two humans need a little cash. 12 Yen in your allowance? Talk about stingy."

Asahi gasped, "SERIOUSLY?"

Chazz cheered, "LUCKY~!"

He then gasped and rejected the offer. He said, "Now, hold on a sec. You shouldn't be giving away your own money or things that easily."

Minatsu pleaded, "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE~! THEN I'LL GIVE YOU ALL I GOT! BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOW PENNILESS! I CAN ALWAYS GET MORE!"

Chazz roared, "HEY! WHY ARE YOU HARDENING YOUR EXPRESSION, JUST NOW?"

Asahi said, "It's no use. She just doesn't understand the value of friendship."

She grabbed his collar, and then hissed, "Besides, you and I need to talk… privately…"

They were in a meeting, as she whispered, "Look! For once, stop acting like a Scrooge! If she says that she'll offer it to us, that is charity, not a bribe!"

He whispered, "Sorry, Asahi. The Chazz is NOT into greed! I have pride, you know!"

She complained, "DARN IT! Come on, baby! Take the money! As long as it's not disease-ridden, I'll take whatever I need!"

He calmed her down and said, "No! I can't… but still… I'm actually broke, too. But I know a perfect way to get rich, and to make everyone happy. The Chazz knows how to make you happy, and I don't mean sex."

She pouted, "I'm no prostitute…"

He sighed, "Oh, good grief…"

He then smiled and winked, "You leave this idea to me!"

Down the street, near the shopping district, Miss Aiko was on the phone with a friend of hers. She called on her cellphone and said, "Hello? Well, yes. I do believe that it's all relative. My shop's been successful, since Miss Stevens came along. But that's alright, Melana. Hey, after this, how about we go for a drink or two? Sounds good?"

She kept walking, as Akari and Enju walked passed her. She stopped, as she said, "Melana, I'll call you back, after work. Remember, we meet at the bar, at 8. Bye."

She hung up, as Akari and Enju kept walking. Miss Aiko whispered, "Those two… They're from a while back. The blonde, Hanao, and there's the other girl… But who's she?"

She watched on, as she said, "You know, aside from their massive bust size, they'd be perfect mannequins… But c'est la vie."

She went to them, and then called, "Excuse me! Ladies? Ladies!"

Akari and Enju stopped, as Akari said, "Oh! It's that lady from that clothing shop."

Enju glared at her, as she said, "Hmm…"

Miss Aiko bowed, "Forgive me, Hanao, was it? You must be enjoying your life… as a human."

Enju glared and huffed, "What? You are the boss of the place that you ejected Akari?"

"Hey, I didn't reject her! We had room for one more… and Miss Stevens is an excellent and experienced employee, being she's a foreigner."

Enju thought, "She knows Farra Stevens, the wielder of Phoenix Sun?"

Miss Aiko said, "Permit me to introduce myself. Haruno Aiko, owner of the small clothing shop, Yume no Tochi."

Enju asked, "Dreamland?"

Miss Aiko asked, "She is Akari Hanao… And you are?"

Enju said, nervously, "Enju Saion-Ji, ma'am."

"I see. You two know Miss Stevens, the woman from America… Correct?"

Akari smiled, "Yeah! I once hated her for taking my job, but…"

"Don't! Hate is such a strong word. Embrace that hate, and set it free, to experience happiness."

Akari was confused, as Enju asked, "Uh, did you-? Uh… What did it mean?"

Miss Aiko said, "Well, perhaps you and I need to come with me to my shop. Miss Stevens is not here, at the moment. Also, I am in need of newer merchandise, uh, employees… Ahem! Come with me."

She beckoned Akari, and then turned to Enju, "You, too, Miss Saion-Ji."

Enju nodded, and headed to Akari, "Oh, okay!"

She thought, as they were walking together, "I have a bad feeling about this… Just who is she?"

Miss Aiko was taking the two ninjas to her shop, as she has plans for them. On the way, they passed Chazz, Asahi, and Minatsu, at a park, not far from their direction. At the park, they were sitting in a bench, as Asahi talked with Minatsu.

"An android? Really? I have never heard about you before, but no wonder you are fan-crazed for Ropponmatsu 1." Asahi said to her.

Minatsu smiled, "Indeed. You can still consider me a friend, right?"

Chazz said, "Yes. We already got an android for a friend, but that's not the reason why we're talking here alone. But good to know about you, uh… Minatsu…"

"I don't share myself of who I am, often." Minatsu remarked.

He explained, "Alright, Minatsu, let's talk. Look, what you're trying to do just now is the same as trying to buy your friendship with money. THAT is something you cannot you. So that's why we cannot accept it. I believe that friendship is something that grows between people through a common bond. I learned that from Asahi and her friends, and look where I ended up."

Minatsu sobbed, "I know… but…"

He explained, "Now-now, I know how you feel. Thanks to Asa's annoying Power of Friendship, I made new friends, and left my old ones behind. And we're all Stand and Spirit Users, too."

He then offered, as she was intrigued, "And so… Why don't we make a little business endeavor and strike up some dough, as friends?"

Asahi asked, "Business? Like moonlig-?"

Chazz shushed her and said, "Yes! A business using all three of our powers. Basically, I have an idea on how we can use your Harvest Mice to do something special… Loose change is one thing, but… I have an idea that gives us more than loose change for Harvest."

Asahi cried, "An idea that'll make us more money, rather than picking up change? Chazz, all Harvest can do is pick up change!"

Minatsu barked, "That's not true! Harvest can pick up even the tiniest thing they could find, as long as it's needed."

He smiled, "Exactly! That's where the business part comes in! And as a consolation fee, you give Asa and I half the profits; the other half goes to you, as you like. And you get the rest, since you get more, being that Asa & I split it evenly. We're going to try a huge project that will make everyone very happy, but when it's all said and done, we're finally gonna get the payday we deserve."

Minatsu said, "Okay, I like the idea… but what should I do? And what is this thing you seek for?"

He held up a stamp with a blue turtle on it and explained, "See this, Minatsu? This is a Kameyu Sticker. These were introduced in 1998, in Morioh Town, and had become a franchise item in Japan. When you shop at one of the Eastern Japan's biggest department store chains, you get one Kameyu Sticker, for every 100 Yen spend. But there are people who collect these stickers, and just throw them away."

He even showed coupons and vouchers, and explained, "And there're also these, too… A voucher for a stationary shop, toy store, CD store, laundromat, the works. Now, this is where the Kameyu Sticker gets its trait. At Kameyu, for example, you can get cash back for these."

They were smiling, as Asahi said, "OH! I get it! That's a brilliant idea!"

Minatsu summoned Harvest, as she cried, "GO GET THEM, YOU GUYS! Never mind the loose change, find what Chazz said! Kameyu Stickers, vouchers, tickets, you name it!"

They scampered around F City, locating missing and thrown away vouchers and stickers. Asahi said, "With only one or two, it'd be scraps of paper. But with Harvest, millions are found, even in hidden parts of town."

The mice scampered around town, from trash cans, doghouses, under the machines, and even on the ground. They grabbed every slip of paper, including vouchers and stickers. They returned in hordes, as they shot out every slip of paper to the ground. Asahi managed to keep them in a pile, preventing them from being blown away. Asahi cheered, "LOOK! Look at this pile of slips!"

Chazz laughed, "SEE THAT? YOUR STAND IS THE COOLEST!"

Minatsu laughed, as she was excited, "AMAZING! THIS IS TOO COOL!"

Chazz said, "Asa will gather them, preventing them to be swept away by the wind, while I can fix the ripped pieces with Ojama Star."

Asahi smiled, "So, is it like tens of thousands that we collected?"

Chazz smiled, "Even better! It's about 100,000 of these beauties!"

They high-fived, as they held Minatsu high. Chazz cheered, "Minatsu Amakase, you're a genuine Stand User Champion~!"

Asahi cheered, "The three of us are invincible!"

She glared, "Hey, wait a minute… What was that going on about your pride and such?"

Chazz smirked, "Hey, as long as everyone is happy, even me, I have no worries on my end."

Minatsu was in awe, as she gathered the vouchers in a huge bag, "So many… So many… Humans… as friends…"

XXXXX

Meanwhile, in the department store, Asahi and Minatsu waited outside for Chazz.

Minatsu asked, "Are you sure this will work? Turning those itty-bitty things into money is tricky."

Asahi said, "Relax. He knows what he's doing. We're both reasonable adults here."

While they were waiting, Tsukasa was on-patrol, as she spotted them. Tsukasa thought, "Is that…? Agent Sakurai… and… Who is this girl?"

She called out, "Agent Sa-!" but then gasped in fright, as she sensed something.

She looked around, and saw a figure looming behind her, from far away. She whispered, "That… Oh, brother… I have to go…"

She walked off, running away from the figure. The figure, however, vanished, and Chazz returned from the market. Asahi asked, as Chazz was upset, "What happened? Did you get the money, or was it not the place to exchange it? You can tell me."

He sighed and said, "I asked them about the stickers, and… I didn't get much… though, I failed to get cash back for the vouchers ,which in total is about 400,000 Yen worth of CDs and Video Games. But still… the stickers were of no use, as I got less than that…"

He held up a huge wad of cash and cried, "…ONLY 61,500 YEN'S WORTH!"

Asahi laughed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OH MY GOD!"

Minatsu laughed heartily, as she took the money. Chazz said, "Minatsu Amakase, it's all yours!"

Asahi cried, "MY GOD, THAT'S LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE!"

She cheered, "YOU'RE AMAZING, AMAKASE!"

Minatsu pouted and asked, "You think I'm amazing? I don't get complimented too much."

Asahi smiled, "Have faith and a little more confidence, Minatsu. Androids can have feelings too, right?"

Minatsu smiled, "I suppose you're right… Chazz… Asahi…"

She walked off and said, "Ahhh… So much money… Ten times the amount I get from collecting loose change."

She then called to a woman, "HEY! I got greenbacks! Wanna paint F City Red?"

Chazz and Asahi screamed, as they panicked, "TOO FAR, TOO FAR, TOO FAR, TOO FAR, TOO FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

XXXXX

She walked with the others, as she was fanning herself with the 61,000 Yen. Chazz and Asahi were concerned, as he said, "It's not like her to act this arrogant."

Minatsu said, "Oh, by the way…"

She offered 10,000 Yen and said, "Here. 10,000 Yen, for the fee. That's your share."

She gave Chazz the Yen, as she stuffed the rest in her pocket. She smiled and said, "I don't do much for humans, but you're no different. We're friends, after all."

She grinned evilly, "Just a token of our friendship… Heh-heh-heh…"

She walked off, smiling. But Chazz called out, "Hey, wait! This isn't what we promised on, Minatsu! You agreed that we'd split it half-and-half, only Asa and I split our half. What's 15,375 Yen between us?"

Minatsu stopped and said, "Yes, we agreed to it, but… Did any of YOU find the Kameyu Stickers? NO!"

Chazz roared, "SAY WHAT?"

Minatsu explained, "It's not fair, you know! MY Harvest found ALL the Kameyus and vouchers! It was ALL ME! All you two did was just talk, kiss, and do nothing! Lazy humans! That's why I gave you 10,000 Yen, out of friendship!"

Asahi snapped and yelled at her, "CHAZZ THOUGHT OF THAT IDEA! IF HE DIDN'T, YOU WOULDN'T HAVE GATHERED ALL OF THOSE, IN THE FIRST PLACE!"

Minatsu whined, "AND YOU TELL ME THIS NOW? I would've thought of it, eventually!"

Asahi yelled, "NO! YOU'D IGNORE IT! ALL YOU ARE IS A GREEDY LITTLE GYNOID THAT GOT LUCKY!"

Minatsu was crushed, as she was hurt. Chazz restrained Asahi and cried, "ASA, BABY! WHOA THERE! Fall back for a sec!"

He dragged her away, as he said, "Just calm down. Lemme have a word with her."

"LEMME GO!" Asahi screamed, as she was pulled away.

He sighed and said, "Just great… Band's broken up, already. About a thousand, she's happy, but over ten thousand Yen, and she is hesitant to pay up. Greed gets the better of her. I don't think she meant anything by it, since she's a robot. But since she's like a kid, we might as well let her have it all. We are the reasonable adults here, so just let it be. We're doing this for a friend, and such a clever person. So take the damn 10,000 Yen and call it a day!"

Asahi calmed down and said, "Fine… But I almost lost myself there. I almost struck an android girl."

He said, "No, Asa, violence solves nothing. Just let her be and take the money. Besides, she needs to learn a lesson on how to split it even-steven."

Asahi asked, "Eh? You mean you have a new way to make money?"

Chazz said, "Not new, per se, but… I'll explain later."

He said to Minatsu, "Minatsu, we'll accept the 10,000 Yen."

Minatsu smiled, and said to Asahi, "Hey, Miss Sakurai… Want a drink?"

Asahi said, "Oh, sure. Can you buy me a Capri Water?"

Minatsu turned away and huffed, "Get it yourself, human! I'm not buying it for you! If you want water, drink some!"

Asahi growled, as she snarled, "I don't… know… how much… I can take…"

She went back to the bench, as Chazz tossed away the vouchers and coupons. Asahi cried, "HEY, CHAZZ! What do you think you're doing?"

He said, "Leftover junk tickets for year-end lottery and such."

She gathered the tickets and said, "I remembered asking Minatsu to gather these, too! Winning lottery tickets are not to be ignored."

He asked, "You mean losing lottery tickets? No one in their right mind would throw away a winning ticket."

She barked, "HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?"

He said, "Because people hardly win the lottery, now and then. But they usually keep tickets to find out if they would win, dumbass."

She explained, "Well, a lot of people forget to confirm numbers and they miss out of their cash prizes."

She pointed at Minatsu, "Remember, I found the ticket and winning number, you got Harvest to pick it up for me. We split half, if it's a winner! GOT IT?"

Minatsu said, "Whatever. Half is fine. I mean, would you get lucky? If it's a sheet of stamps, you have it."

Asahi growled, as she searched the tickets, "Watch and see, loser!"

Chazz sighed, as he sat down, "There she goes again… She likes to go cheap, despite that she's a famous celebrity."

Asahi kept searching, as she said, "Say, Chazz, is it wise to exchange it, even though we're pretty young?"

"You and I are adults. If kids win the lottery, it should be fine, so long as you have an ID and name stamp."

She searched and said, "SG 121314… Payout period: Jan. 1st, 2019 to Aug. 21st, 2019… Hmm… Nope, another one. I thought for sure it's one…"

She held up a magazine and looked for the winning numbers. She read and whispered, "Let's see… No… No… Nooo… uhhhh…"

She widened her eyes, as she saw the number "SG 121314" on the page. She then asked, "Uh, Chazz? Between you and me, would we have it to the police, should we win by chance?"

He barked, "Idiot! There's no reason to take it there. All Harvest did was pick it up, after it was thrown away. And shouldn't you be worried about winning, after bragging so much? And besides, even if you win in some magical coincidence, it's a moot point."

Asahi cried, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?! THIS SAYS SG 121314?!"

Chazz and Minatsu gasped, as Asahi shrieked, "IT'S A WINNER! A WINNER! SG 121314! I FOUND A WINNER!"

Chazz roared, "What the hell are you yelling about?"

Asahi looked at the prize, and gasped: Five Million Yen (or around $46,000 US). Asahi was stunned, as she shrieked, "F-F-F-F-F-Ffff… FIVE MILLION YEN?!"

She rolled on the grass and laughed, "I FOUND A WINNER! I WON! I WON!"

Chazz cried, "OH, BS! You better not be messing with us, Asa!"

He looked at the magazine, and gasped. They laughed hysterically, as he shouted, "MY GOD! IT IS TRUE! GREAT!"

Asahi screamed, "I DID IT! IT'S A POP IDOL'S DREAM TO MAKE MILLIONS! AND BEING A FORMER IDOL TURNED CELEBRITY IN AMERICA, THERE'S NO OTHER EXPERIENCE!"

But Chazz took the ticket and shouted, "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT! Asahi, calm down. We have to be sure."

He looked at the ticket and said, "Good… SG 121314… Third Prize: Five Million Yen… And it's still active for a couple more days, before it expires… Well, there you go. It's hard to believe, but it's true! And this was a lottery ticket that was thrown away; if you hadn't found it when you did, it would've met its end in the incinerator. We have to get this to the bank. Even if we get annoying questions, we can say that we bought it together."

He said, "Be sure to remember that!"

She said, "Ah, right. That'll be too worth it for that. I'll fake it, for once."

He smiled, "Which means… This is our Five Million Yen~!"

He laughed, as he smiled, "Now, what should I buy? Oh, maybe a new designer coat, like back in my days as a duelist. Black and onyx, NO Obelisk Blue! Maybe some suede shoes… OH! And dine out that the most expensive restaurant, possibly Tonio's, and get his most expensive plate. And maybe I should go abroad on vacation."

Asahi called, "But that's too much to splurge! I'm using it for my savings!"

He jeered, "You had to be so fickle!"

She laughed, "Ya got me!"

They laughed, as they too, likewise Minatsu, were stricken by greed. As for Minatsu, unfortunately… she was completely ignored and furious. She whispered, as her aura was coated in a dark aura, "That's my five million Yen… My Harvest found it… not her… No way would I split half with those two…"

She growled, as she was determined to get the money that Chazz & Asahi won, even though they agreed to split it evenly, but the greed inside her started to blossom.

Tsukasa was walking off, as she avoided seeing the mysterious figure. She whispered, as she walked, "Ever since the issues with many Stand Users, I have a feeling I was being watched… But who?"

She kept walking, until she ran into Kazuki, in his suit. She gasped, as she shrieked, "AAAAAAGH! KAZUKI SENDO?!"

Kazuki said, "Surprised to see me? Well, it's a bit coincidental, but don't worry, I mean you no harm. My days of causing you harm are long past."

Tsukasa barked, "I don't care what you do to me, you bastard! I'll attack you if I have to!"

He explained, "No, stand down. After reading your memories, via Heaven's Gate, I want to admire you as a buddy. Do not worry, I'm not dating you, as you would think. I'm happy being single, for now."

He glared at her, "Besides, you're like the perfect stereotype for a manga heroine…"

He stepped back and asked, "Listen, I have a favor to ask of you…" he pulled out a map and said, "Some of my former classmates used to live in F City, during my high school days, before I went into doujinshi. For nostalgia's sake, I'm looking for the house that my friend used to live in. Manga artists can get great memories through childhood memories… However, seeing that these memories are from when I was only a child, they're hazy at best."

"How old were you, when you met your friend?"

"Oh, about nine years old… She used to go with me to my high school, until she transferred away. This was long before I met Mizuki."

He viewed the huge map in F City and said, "LOOK! This is the map to the city, including the buildings that follow. In order, a soba shop, small clothing shop, convenient store… all faced to the right of us, from right to left."

He pointed at the area, and said, "NOW! Look closely at the buildings!"

He pointed at each building, as he stated, however… he halted at the convenient store, showing a huge alleyway, in-between the clothing store and the convenient store. He asked, "Huh… There's no road between the store and the clothing place. How careless of them to overlook it."

She replied, "Why would they suddenly build an alleyway, all the way here, and not on the map? Such sloppy work."

"Tsukasa, how would you like to accompany me there?"

Tsukasa shivered, "Huh? Me? Well, I don't know…"

He huffed, "You would refuse a request from Kazuki Sendo? Typical. I suppose asking you to walk ten meters with me is also too much."

He walked off, as Tsukasa grumbled, "Man, you're so stubborn…"

She walked with him and protested, "Five minutes! After that, you're on your own! I've only been in F City for a while now, so I could show you a few places to try out."

Kazuki said, "Thank you. I should look around, and see what to find…"

Something tells me that Kazuki and Tsukasa are about to go on their OWN adventure, together…
Well, we'll check with Chazz, Asahi, & Minatsu, later. Next time, let's follow our intrepid adventurers, as they walk down this mysterious alleyway! Stay tuned!
