"Ehm... Jotaro, are you sure she'll trust us? It's like, we are only- well, Travelers."

Bucciarati asked back in both anticipation and anxiety.

"Beat me. They couldn't even believe me just yet. Just consider it a thank you for what happened last night."

He said, tugging his cap, and what he said was not a lie, at least from his perspective. Contrary to Jotaro and Bucciarati's overly serious mood, Caesar, the flirtatious boy, was not even a bit affected by Jotaro's statement.

"Don't worry, dude. I can give you guys some tips in flirtation, so-"

*SLAP*

Caesar immediately received a slap on the back from Jotaro, making Caesar a bit stunned before he could even finish his words. Angered, Caesar looked back at Jotaro in confusion, but as his eyes met Jotaro's menacing gaze, he gulped before his mouth could speak a word.

"I hate annoying women. Don't think about using them as a women-magnet. Let's go."

Jotaro responded to Caesar's words with a terrifyingly cold tone, startling the blond Italian.

'Damn, even though that birthmark proved his words, I still can't believe that this delinquent is JoJo's nephew!'

Caesar thought. Although he had seen the star-shaped birthmark on the nape of Jotaro's neck, he couldn't believe that a hot-blooded, aggressive best friend like Joseph would have a nephew as cold and prickly as Jotaro.

Flashback.

"Hey, hey, what do you even think you're doing?!"

Amber shouted, annoyed by the fact that there are two strangers entered her friends' inn without permission, or at least she thought so.

"It's okay. They are allies, not enemies."

Jotaro tapped her shoulder as he step inside. And Amber was caught off guard, surprised by his casual tone of voice. Surely, even she couldn't let her guard down that kind of easily when she met a stranger, let alone someone as cold and quiet as Jotaro. Maybe the two strangers inside are his friends?

"Jotaro, you said that they are allies, but are they your friends?"

Amber said, indirectly demanding an explanation from the mysterious trio of travelers. She was having enough of the secret-keeping from Jotaro.

"They just helped me sort out something, so I lend them someplace to sleep. Is that okay with you, woman?"

Jotaro said. He was annoyed by her rightful suspicion. But he didn't want to be rude to her, who treated him to a meal he couldn't afford just yet.

"Ah, yes, yes. Sorry if this is a bit rude to you, but could you give us some private time to talk?"

Bucciarati requested, trying to help Jotaro handle the troublesome situation.

"No! How can I believe that you two are reliable?! Even if-"

*SHH*

Caesar put his index finger in front of his lips, signaling Amber to stop first. And she did stop, when not only she, but they realized that they may annoy the neighborhood if the pressure gets high and higher.

"I know you couldn't believe we just yet, signora. But, I swear on the honor of the Zeppeli, we are your allies, not your enemies."

Caesar kneed down as he said, promising with all of his honor.

"You kind of... reminding me of Eula back there. But, oh well, fine then, Jotaro."

Amber waved her hand as she left the inn.

"Remember, you two better treat me to another meal. And better be sober at that time. Sheesh, it took me some time to clean up her pukes."

As her silhouette was gone entirely, there was a silence between the three, until-

"Did she just say... Eula?"

Caesar asked himself, not sure if his ears were working properly or not when he heard that name.

"Doesn't matter. Did she forget about Paimon just now?"

Paimon appeared from nowhere, surprising the Italian guests.

"Mamma mia!"

They said in unison as the little girl flew around them.

"No, I didn't."

Amber's voice echoed back at them.

"Aww! But *yawn* Paimon felt sleepy now. Goodnight, Jotaro. Goodnight, strange men."

Paimon sleepily said, before vanishing into thin air.

"So, uh... regarding some probably small details, signor, we only came here because you said you would explain everything to us."

"As much as I hate how rude you are, Caesar, I was thinking just the same. No offense."

"None taken."

The two Italians said as they stood still, waiting for the answer from the Japanese delinquent.

"Good grief... To keep things short, we are stuck in a world name-"

*SLAM*

"We already know that, you idiota! Did you think that we wouldn't notice the difference? I mean, how the hell would they not have a jukebox in a pub?!"

Caesar shouted in irritation as he slammed the table.

"Mamma mia, is that the only thing that got in your mind? You don't even mind about how we got here?"

Bucciarati said.

"How is that even important? We were both dead before coming here."

The two started to argue, making Jotaro sigh. He was a bit surprised that they said that they were dead before getting teleported into this world. But again, he already knows their fate before getting teleported into this world.

Suddenly, an idea ran into the delinquent's mind. He said nothing, as he took off his jacket.

"Hey."

He called them, and successfully gained their attention.

"Is this birthmark proves my words?"

Flashback End.

"Caesar? Did you just space out? Jotaro went ahead us for quite a bit now."

Bucciarati waved his hand in front of Caesar's face and snapped him out of his thought.

"Huh? Ah, uh, I'm fine. Let's catch up to him before he disappears."

Caesar said before he and Bucciarati followed Jotaro.

"...If you come to think of it, things took us a bit of a surprise, didn't they?"

Bucciarati's sudden words brought Caesar's attention back to him, looking back at him with a questioning look. Hee

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, look. We've all died at different times. And yet..."

The time meeting the two did not escape Caesar's thoughts, causing both to start walking while reminiscing about Jotaro's story yesterday.

The story of their sacrifices in their world, as well as the success of the hope they had entrusted to their remaining comrade.

But...

"...Why did we appear in this world?"

Caesar and Bucciarati froze at this thought. They looked at Jotaro, both in wonder and suspicion.

"Hey... Did we forget to ask another question?"

"Here we come."

Jotaro said, then looked back at the two behind him, those who were gaping at the construction in front of him.

"Merde... This look like an Italian castle from the Middle Age."

"Goddamn, it reminded me of hotel Notre Dame..."

Jotaro groaned.

"Italian this, Italian that... Good grief, get your Italian shit back together first."

*Knock*

He raised his hand and knocked lightly on the large door of this building, oblivious to the people standing behind him. But, not a single reply back outside where he stood.

"Huh, they must be here much sooner than us. How the hell-?"

*CLACK*

With a loud clack, behind that door revealed familiar figures.

"Ms. Lisa, you really don't have any information about a country called Italy-"

The blue-haired girl's words came to a halt as she stood in front of them.

"E-Eh? Eula? What are you doing here?"

Caesar asked back in surprise, but responding to him was just a 'Hmph' from her, like a stylish aristocratic woman.

"Hmph. Didn't I tell you? As the captain of the Reconnaissance Company of the Knights of Favonius, it wouldn't be a big deal."

She then looked at Caesar suspiciously and approached him.

"And you too, Caesar. Why are you here as well?"

For some reason, Caesar was doing his best to avoid Eula's gaze, with sweat running down his cheeks and spine.

'Oh, sono così morto ora (I'm so dead now)! Is she mad at me because I left halfway last night?'

The Italian boy thought in anxiety, not even daring to face this girl face to face.

"Ara, you're the boy from last night, aren't you? What a coincidence, Bucciarati."

Lisa cheerfully said while taking Bucciarati's hand gently.

"Ms. Lisa? I thought you were a librarian, why...?"

"Well, I AM a librarian. But you didn't even ask where I work, cutie."

She then locked her gaze straight into Bucciarati's eyes, with an uncanny 'affectionate'.

"Speaking of which, where did you go yesterday? I thought you just went out for a bit, didn't expect until today, we didn't meet again."

Jotaro looked at the other two with a puzzled look. Good thing that he didn't even need to introduce them, but now it confused him when all four of them immediately started talking like acquaintances. Well...

"Then don't waste any more of my time. Let's get on with the business."

*whistle*

Amber softly whistled, while adjusting her bowstring.

"Huh, weird. I remember asking them to come here at this time. Why did it take so long?"

She thought to herself, looking back at the trail leading to the Four Winds Temple. And after a long while, a small figure gradually revealed herself and approached.

"Speaking of which..."

Amber stood up from the stone, sighing in anticipation.

"I've been standing here since the afternoon, Lumine. After all, what are you doing so slowly?"

Amber put her hands on her hips and sighed, staring at the other person trying to breathe like running a marathon.

"You... don't... understand what I have to do..."

She uttered, trying to take in as much air around her as she could.

"Oh, I see. It's just probably because you drank too much yesterday or something."

Amber brought her hand to her face and sighed in frustration.

"But, this is it. One of the deserted temples of The Four Winds."

She reached out her hand at the gate of the temple and introduced the shrine next to her.

"These temples have also been left to waste for years now, and the people of Mondstadt almost never come here. There's a chance there's a monster nest or a hilichurl camp inside.

Amber spoke carefully, but that didn't seem to be what Lumine was interested in.

"Yeah, but Jotaro... Is he here?"

Lumine asked lightly while trying to put strength into her feet to stay steady on the ground.

"Huh? What are you saying? Isn't Jotaro-"

"-come with you- OH MY BARBATOS!"

In a split second, the tall figure appeared behind the blonde, before he sighed in his usual annoying tone.

"What the hell are you two talking about?"

Amber was so startled that she slipped her feet backward and fell to the ground.

*GRAB*

Jotaro summons Star Platinum to catch her. But unfortunately, Star Platinum only managed to grab a red gem strapped to her waist, not stopping her from falling to the ground.

"Hey, Amber, are you okay?"

Lumine approached and helped her, reaching out to help the other girl up, going past Star Platinum. However, Jotaro continued to observe the stone in Star Platinum's hand, mainly its patterns.

"Hmm... What is this?"

He stroked his chin thoughtfully, then looked back at the two people on the other side.

"Ow, I feel like I saw a ghost appear in front of me before I fell."

Amber stood up, then pushed the dust off her body.

"Ah, you mean Jotaro's Star Platinum? It's still here."

Lumine pointed towards Star Platinum, who was holding the gem from her waist, however, in her eyes-

"H-Huh? What do you mean? But..."

Amber pointed at the gem in Star Platinum's hand, and she shivered as if Star Platinum didn't exist in her eyes.

"Why is my Vision floating in the air?"

She gestured toward Star Platinum's hand, before slowly approaching it and picking it up. And just as she took it back in her hand-

"HOLY-!"

Startled, she jumped back like last time, but this time, fortunately, she did not fall again.

"Hey, Jotaro."

A small voice whispered beside his ear.

"Paimon knows why Lumine-"

"Go away. You came too late."

He said, immediately receiving an annoyed pout from Paimon before the little girl disappeared into the air.

"Having the elemental power means that you could see Stand? Good grief... Now it's messing my head up."

He sighed in exhaustion, before opening the gate of the Four Winds Temple.

"Wow! This temple is so beautiful! It's like we're standing outside when midnight!"

The blonde girl spoke admiringly, constantly rolling her eyes around the interior of this black house. However, no one even cared about that expression of hers.

"Could you just shut the hell up, woman? I don't want to waste my time in this ruin."

Jotaro grabbed her collar and pulled her away, while she was still frozen in awe. Then that door opened, revealing a beam of light that illuminated most of the cave in the deepest part of the temple.

"Wow, I can see... so far into the temple!"

Amber admired, then followed that path and ran to the other light source. However-

"Hmm? Amber? Are you okay?"

Paimon asked softly, as soon as he saw her stop right next to the turn to go deeper into this temple.

"Hilichurl... Who did this?"

In front of her was now a group of Hilichurl, but they did not stand up to receive her, on the contrary,

"Looks like someone came before us."

Jotaro sighed, before approaching one of them. He looked down at their dead bodies- no.

"There don't seem to be any slash wounds on their bodies. There are indeed a few scratches, but..."

He flicked their hair to check their heads, and-

"The hell...?"

Fortunately, with his cold head, he didn't shout that sentence out loud.

"...A bullet hole?"

Damn it, now things just got worse.

*BREAK*

Their target's light suddenly went out, followed by the sound of a stone being broken down.

"What? The light just..."

They passed through the large doors and reached the area. But another problem came across when the distance between them and the place where the light started was not small.

"It's so high... Seems like there was something up there."

Amber said, trying to find another way up the top when the path in front of them was a collapsed bridge

"Isn't it... a Pyro Monument! If we-"

*GRAB*

Before Paimon could finish her sentence, an arm immediately grabbed her and the two other girls beside her.

"Huh?"

It was Jotaro's Star Platinum who suddenly grabbed all of them by the collars.

"Huh? Hey! Jotaro, what are you doing?!"

Amber and Lumine panicked and struggled to get out of Star Platinum's arms. But with enough power to crush a diamond, none of these movements could move a single finger of it.

"Hold tight."

Jotaro said, before-

"ORA!"

With a tremendous bounce, everyone flew straight up like a bullet, so strong that it cracked the stone floor beneath their feet, adding to the screams of the girls.

.

.

"Huh... Nothing left but rubble."

Jotaro picked up the remaining crushed stone and thought. Looks like someone smashed this thing called 'Dragonbreath' before them.

"This is worth noting, it seems... someone wants to help us too, right?"

Who is she kidding, Amber could understand that this 'help' isn't something to be happy about, on the contrary, it only makes matters worse.

"Perhaps I'll report this to Jean. But, Jotaro, did you find any clues?"

In response to her was Jotaro's strange silence, making both her and Lumine a little nervous.

"Hey-

"No."

He interrupted Lumine's words, before getting up and leaving.

"...Okay."

They then followed him, but because of that, he was able to smoothly-

"St. F- Academy...?"

In his hand was what appeared to be an information card, but the information it contained was almost obscured by scratches, leaving only the name of an academy named St. F-, with the end part wasn't even intact.

Perhaps, he should ask Bucciarati or Caesar.

"Whoo, okay! Let's just call it a day."

The Outrider Knight sighed in satisfaction, before looking back at the other two. It looks like they're not feeling so different from her, right?

"What are you going to do, Amber?"

Lumine asked back in wonder, in response, she just smiled lightly and put away her bow.

"You know. As an Outrider of the Knights of Favonius, I need to check around here, in case someone is watching us."

Amber said, before turning to leave, prepared to leave.

"Huh... But honestly, do you need my help?"

Lumine worriedly asked her back, but, Amber's courage immediately quelled the blonde girl's thought.

"It's okay, Lumine. How do you think I can become a Knight of Favonius if I can't even handle this little thing?"

She said, then pointed in a certain direction.

"By the way, Jotaro's gone. Catch him."

Lumine grumbled a bit with a slight blush on her face, before going in the direction Amber pointed.

"And now..."

She began to enter the forest, readying her bow and arrow.

Because, with her intuition, Amber can sense the presence of someone. But she didn't want to ask the other two, because last time she offended them, so stop.

"Slowly and carefully, Amber."

She thought to herself, walking slowly toward an old tree stump.

The closer she got, the louder the breathing became. But why...

"...Why is this breathing sound so soft? It's like someone is sleeping here."

And indeed, when she got there, her eyes were met with a tall thin man lying with his back on that tree. On his head is a serrated hat that acts as a headband. And indeed, when she got there, her eyes were met with a tall thin man lying with his back on that tree. On his head is a serrated hat that acts as a headband. His hair is long and light, split into spikes pointing outward or upward at their ends, growing longer until halfway down his torso.

With a body like this, although it is not called attractive, Amber can't help but blush at this appearance, especially when he is still sleeping!

'Wait! What are you thinking, Amber?! Don't let these thoughts interfere with your duties!'

She took a deep breath to keep her composure. Then exhale, slowly reaching out your hand to wake him up.

"It's okay, this is just a quest. This is just-"

*GRAB*

Before she could finish her sentence, a hand grabbed her wrist, startling her.

"Hey, brat... What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

And that's part 5!
