The End Part 4 (Chapter 13)

Jotaro waits, as Mitsuha, Yotsuha, Toshiki, and Hitoha all gather up in the living room. Tomoko walks up to Jotaro and says "Is everything all right? Did you find something out, Jotaro?" Jotaro nods and says "Yeah, I think I did. Would you mind leaving me to them for a bit? It shouldn't be too long." Tomoko raises an eyebrow, but then says "All right… Let me know if you need a hand, okay?" Jotaro nods and says "Sure, thanks Tomoko."

After Tomoko leaves the room, Jotaro turns to the family, and silently brings forth Star Platinum, causing the women to look on in shock as Mr. Miyamizu looks around, confused by their reactions. He says "Are you all alright? What's going on, Jotaro?" Yotsuha then turns to her father, and yells "What'd ya mean, 'what's going on', Dad? Don't you see that crazy looking ghost thing behind Mr. Jotaro?!" Mr. Miyamizu shakes his head, and says "I can't see anything!"

Jotaro think for a moment, and then decides on how he will explain things, as he says "It seems like the women of this family can all see it, correct? This 'spirit' that is hovering behind me?" Hitoha stands up and says "You must be possessed, young man! We need to do something!" Jotaro motions her to stop, as he says "This is in fact, not a possession or any sort of 'evil spirit'. This thing behind me, is my Stand, Star Platinum!"

Everyone gasps, as Mitsuha stares, still confused. She mumbles, "A stand…? Huh…?" Jotaro explains, saying "A stand is a physical manifestation of a person's will and fighting spirit. They can take many shapes and forms, and they can have many different abilities. Mine is rather simple, as it takes the form of a strong person, that can move and react with extreme speed and precision. Josuke and his friends also have stands."

Mitsuha then gasps, and says "Josuke's got a stand?" Then she thinks for a moment, and then says, "Wait… was that how my ankle got better…" Jotaro nods, and says "Correct. Josuke's stand Crazy Diamond has the ability to return anything to their original form, or in other words, heal them from injuries." Mr. Miyamizu sighs, as he rubs his head, saying "This is all so strange… But why can't I see it then, Jotaro?"

Jotaro answers, saying "Ordinarily, only other stand users can see stands, so I would like to find this out myself. The main way that a stand awakens in another is through a special kind of arrow, although there have been cases of stands awakening through other methods." Jotaro pauses, and then says "So what I would like to know is, why can all of you see my stand? I don't believe that any of you would be stand users, and it would be far too late in life for you to develop one, Ms. Miyamizu."

Hitoha thinks for a few minutes, as everyone remained quiet, until she looks up and says "I think I understand. We, of the Miyamizu family, have always been closely attached to the religious practices of the local temple, including weaving for ritual purposes. Do you think that our close connection to the spiritual could have made us more aware of things like what you describe as stands, even if we do not possess them ourselves?" Jotaro nods, and says "That could make sense. But this could prove to be an issue in the future."

Mr. Miyamizu raises an eyebrow, and asks "And why would that be, Jotaro?" Jotaro answers, saying "Well, in our research, we have discovered that stand users naturally attract other stand users. And stand users tend to be dangerous, as the sudden acquisition of power can cloud their judgment and sense of restraint. But I have never met people who can see stands, but who do not possess them themselves, so I don't know if just the ability to see stands can attract the users. I would suggest being careful from now on."

Then Mitsuha rubs her head frantically, and yells "Wait, so we could be in danger? What do we do?" Mr. Miyamizu nods, and says "This all sounds dangerous… Do you have any suggestions, Jotaro?" Jotaro answers, saying "I have met many stand users in my travels, as I awakened my stand when I was around 17, and many of those stand users were dangerous and devoid of morality." Mitsuha's eyes widen, as she yells "That's sounds really scar…"

But Jotaro raises his hand, and Mitsuha stops, as Jotaro adds, "But, when I first came to the town of Morioh, I realized that there were many stand users who held a strong sense of justice, Josuke being one of the kindest of them all. I think that if you remain in this town, you should all fare well, as this town has a strong heart of justice within it."

Mitsuha sighs with relief, as Mr. Miyamizu says "Well, they have taken a liking to this town already, and Mitsuha already has a few friends. This could be a good next step for us. Thank you, Jotaro…" Jotaro smiles, and says "Don't worry about it. And you've all been a good help with my investigation. In fact, I think it's about me to head out. Take care, everyone." And then Jotaro leaves the room, says goodbye to Tomoko and Josuke, and walks out.

Jotaro was able to find out a lot about the Miyamizu family, but one thought remained: why did Mitsuha visit Rohan Kishibe and why did he use Heaven's Door on her? But he knew that Rohan would be at his home by now, so he hails a cab there, so he can speak with him next.

Jotaro rings the door bell, and Rohan answers, and laughs while says "Well, isn't this a surprise! What brings you here, Jotaro? I thought you weren't much of a manga person these days?" Jotaro replies, saying "I'm actually here on a request from the old man, and I was hoping that we could chat for a bit." Rohan nods, and says "Sure thing, Jotaro. I'll make us some tea." Jotaro then walks in, ready to question Rohan on his involvement with Mitsuha Miyamizu, and if that stretched back to even the comet in Itomori…

Notes

I hope you guys enjoy the chapter!

This main storyline will be ending pretty soon (probably in a few more chapters at most)

What will follow will be a few more slice of life kinds of things, where Mitsuha meets some of the other Morioh natives.

That will probably be in its own story, but I'll make sure that this series is designated as Part 1 and the next series is designated as Part 2

After those are finished, there will be a 3rd set of chapters that will detail how Mitsuha and Taki meet again, in this crazy new storyline. There are a lot of fun things planned, so look forward to them!

Let me know if there are any specific Part 4 characters that you would like to see share some of the spotlight. There are some that I'm already planning on adding, but there could be some that I didn't think of.
