《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 17 : To the Next Part!

She looks at me with a confused expression as I am staring at her with a shocked expression. I know this lady in front of me. Her name is Penelope de la Rosa.
She is a character in the light novel named Jorge Joestar. When she was forced out of her home, Erina allows Penelope to live with them and Penelope starts working in the La Palma office of Erina's trading company, Star Mark Trading. While living with the Joestars, she acts as an elder sister to George and tutors him. George Joestar is Joseph's father. Just guess what will be her age.
Now that I look at her, she looks a lot older than her counterpart from the novel. If so, I can assume that I am safe from that Kars with copied Stands. Yes, Kars with multiple copied Stands. Just thinking about it makes me shudder.
"Are you okay, sir?" she asked me.
"No, nothing Miss. I was just wondering if you have *Wound* on you," I replied with a secret code of my own. And lo and behold. She flinched at the word 'Wound'. Good gracious, I am going to get fucked by Kars, aren't I? Wait, Kars didn't know about me but he only knows about Joseph, right? Well, good luck with your future, Joseph. I will remember you, always.
"I see. Don't worry about it. I will not mention it to anyone," I nodded understandably at her. She doesn't want others to know about her ability and I won't mention it again. Her ability is scary on its own.
Her name is Coulrophobia. And its ability is simple. It is called 'Locked Room Suicide'. If I want to explain it in a simple way, it is the ability to make a murder look like a suicide inside a room by locking all the doors and windows so that nobody can leave. And that was before she was able to overcome her fears. I remember reading a line said by a clown inside the locked room which sent a chill up my spine at that time. That was, "If you're not Penelope's friend, you'll have to hang yourself!" Let's just not talk about her Stand, okay?
Now, that we are inside the room, we see that there are already three people inside there. They are Erina Joestar, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, and Rudol von Stroheim. Wait, what is Stroheim doing here?
"I thank you for coming on such short notice, everyone. There are some problems as people who already dead are coming back to life," Nanny Erina told us after letting us sit.
"I see. The prime example is Straizo, isn't it? Don't worry Nanny! I will deal with it!" Joseph cheekily grins. I think it is because he doesn't want his grandmother to worry.
"Let us help too," Old Joseph also chimed in. Even after many years, he still couldn't shake off his love and admiration for his grandmother, huh?
"And you are?" she simply asked.
"It is nice to meet you again, Nanny Erina! My name is Joseph Joestar," he immediately stands up and introduced his real name. I slap my forehead with my right hand. And it seems I was not the only one. I heard multiple facepalming sounds across the room. I saw Joseph, Caesar, Akame and even Jotaro are facepalming.

Erina said nothing and look around the room and was lost in thought. She took in everyone's reaction to this news. Glancing at Joseph and Caesar's face.
"Show me your birthmark," Erina asked, no, she ordered.
"Yes, Nanny!" He immediately takes off his coat to show his birthmark to his grandmother. Seriously Joseph, how much did your grandmother whipped you before she died? For you to be scared of her this much is very amusing to see. I then glanced at young Joseph. When he noticed my glance, he crosses his arms to show me a 'No' sign.
"The birthmark is real. So, are you really Jojo?"
"Of course, Nanny Erina!"
"Then what are you doing here? Wait, younger Jojo! Introduce me to the people inside this room!"
"Coming right up, Nanny Erina!"
"The one with white hair over here is called Urien Gregorios! The black hair lady over there is Akame and from what I've heard, Urien's future wife. The one with yellow hair is Caesar Anthonio Zeppeli. And the one standing right there with a cap on his head is my supposed grandson from the future, Jotaro Kujo," he introduced each and every one of us to his grandmother.
Just when Erina was about to say something, Jotaro put down the turtle. Ah, that is Mr. President, isn't it?
"What are you doing, Jojo? You were taking too long." Speedwagon appeared from inside the turtle. Then he looks around the room, "Hmm? Are you in some kind of meeting?"
"Well Speedwagon, meet Erina Joestar, Robert E. O. Speedwagon, and Rudol von Stroheim," Old Joseph introduced them.
"Wait, Joestar? And isn't Erina is the name of that fine woman that fancies Mr. Joestar?" He just stares at the old lady inside the room. Then quickly ran back into the turtle and came back with fully healed Jonathan.
"Did something happened, Speedwagon? You just came and asked me to come with you," the perfect gentleman asked his trusted friend. Yes, I will be calling him the perfect gentleman. Get over with it.
"Mr. Joestar, doesn't the lady over there seems familiar to you?"
Jonathan looks at Erina who has tears in her eyes and some of them are falling down while covering her mouth with her hands softly.
"What are you talking about, Speedwagon? She is obviously Erina. She might look older but the feelings I get from her are the same as I got from Erina," Jonathan replied without skipping a beat. Wow, smooth.
At that moment, the woman of Steel, Erina Joestar wailed deeply not caring about the people inside the room. Well, she might be relieved that her husband who died on their honeymoon will remember her even after many years of parting. But… he is from the time when Dio was not defeated yet. So technically, they are not married yet but meh, who cares.
"Mr. Joe-Joestar!" Old Speedwagon quickly came and hug Jonathan with a bear hug. "After so many years, I've finally got to see you again!" Oh yea, they didn't know that this Jonathan is their Jonathan. We haven't explained to them about the situation.

"EH?! Speedwagon?! You look old!"
"Sorry to interrupt but, Speedwagon, do you have a camera?" Old Joseph interrupts the drama going on in the room.
"I might have it in my car. I will go and take it," Old Speedwagon replied and went outside to get the camera.
After a while, he came back with a camera in his hand.
"Thank you. And now, time to find out who is the ringleader behind all of this mess," purple color thorny vines are coming out of Old Joseph's hands. Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, and I are standing around him and waiting for the result.
Yes, although I've known the fact that this is Dio doing Dio, they didn't know. And as a good friend, I am staying near them. Not because Akame is looking at me with crazy looks in her eyes. No, sir! She became like this after Joseph introducing us to his Nanny.
"Here I go! Hermit Purple!" The dude smashed the camera with his hand and immediately grab the photo that came out of it.
When the photo becomes clear, all of the people surrounding Old Joseph except me and young Joseph were shocked. All of them shouted at the same time, "DIO!"
"Did someone say Dio?" a voice came from inside the turtle. Then came out of it is the young man with golden hair of moderate length tied back in a short, braided tail, with three distinctive oversized curls arranged in a row over his forehead. He is wearing a two-piece suit with a checkered coat tail and several ornate features, including wing-shaped emblems on the collars and a heart-shaped opening in the chest area. Wow, even the famous pianist himself came out of the shell after hearing his dad's name.
"You are… the young man from Italy!" Old Joseph immediately recognized the boy. "How do you know Dio?" he asked.
Giorno takes out his wallet and shows them the picture he had put in it. "Dio… is my father."
"Nani!" This time, all of the people inside the room who knew about Dio shouted. Of course, I and Akame are not included in it.
"Hey, Urien! Why are you not surprised?! You knew it didn't you?! You already that Giorno is the son of Dio!"
I don't know who shouted that but all the looks on their face make it worth the yell I am getting.
"Yup!" I just replied with the popping p sound.
"Then you must know how did it happen. Can you tell us, Mr. Urien?" This time, it was Nanny Erina who asked me. She didn't look at Giorno with hate like I've expected. She must hate the man who killed her husband, right? But her hate doesn't extend to his child. What a woman.
"Yes, I do. You remembered that Dio doesn't have a body when he died together with Mr. Jonathan, correct?" I asked to which she nodded at the question.
"The truth is he didn't die right there. He finally took over Mr. Jonathan's body after many years. And on his way to Egypt, Dio had fun with many women and kill them without mercy. But for some reason, Giorno's mother survived and gave birth to Giorno," I then continued to explain. "So, you can say that Giorno has Joestar blood in him as Dio sired him after taking over Mr. Jonathan's body, also making him the son of Mr. Jonathan."
Nanny Erina thinks for a while and writes something on a paper and gave it to old Speedwagon. I don't know what it is but I think it will be related to Giorno.
"Wait, that means someone younger than me is my uncle?!" Young Joseph shouted in horror.
"He is still haven't born in this time but yeah. He is your uncle."
"Oh no!"
"But back to the topic, there is no way the mastermind behind will be Dio!" Old Joseph tried to change the subject.
But Jotaro looks at me. "You already knew about this too, aren't you?" he asked.
"Correct!"
"But we turned into dust ourselves!" Old Joseph argued.
"Well, that might be Dio from your dimension," I replied.
"What do you mean, Urien?"
"Well, there is a Stand that can travel between dimensions. So, you can guess it yourselves," I answered.
"Hah, this is getting ridiculous. I just trying to become a Gang-Star and yet pulled into dimensional mess," Giorno heaves a sigh.
"The mess that started by your father, mind you. And yes, I thought I just need to deal with the Pillar Men yet here I am standing among the Joestar family members from different generations."
"We need to defeat this anomaly quick and find the Holy Corpse," Old Joseph gave his idea.
At that time, we hear a knock on the door. "Excuse me, we had found the location of Straizo."
"Well, let's go!" I immediately rush out of the room. But Jonathan stayed in the room for a while before following us.
And yes, we beat the hell out of Straizo. And the anomaly who came with him was another vampire, Jack the Ripper. The dude is very ugly, unlike a certain loli. I won't be telling how we beat the shit out of extras.
Because we are near the Capitoline Museums after beating them, we decided to visit the place for some cool down. And what do you know? The Holy Corpse responded. It seems the body part of the Holy Corpse is in the Museum.
After letting Joseph grab the Holy Corpse, we are now going to travel to another timeline.
People who will be going together on the journey from this timeline are Joseph, Caesar, Lisa Lisa, Stroheim, Akame, I, and surprisingly, Penelope. I won't deny that her would be useful.
And which timeline we are going now? I do not know. But I am sure as hell it will be bizarre just like any others.
