Chapter 9. The Big Shots Hiding in The Crowd

  ---

  "It doesn't matter if I forced it. It's the fact that I kissed her first!"

  "This way, her retionship with JOJO will be ruined!"

  "I will never let JOJO have any friends or lovers!!"

  Loneliness is a terrifyiion.

  Just like the most feared punishment in prison is not the warden's baton or the electric chair, but a simple, empty solitary cell.

  This isotion ot only hollow out a person but also drive them mad.

  And this is Dio's goal.

  To turn Jonathan into a depressed, useless idiot and then slowly take everything Jonathan has.

  This way, the Joestar family's iance would belong to him alone!

  This is why Minamizawa Jyuhachi suggested to Pucci after watg Dio's performance from start to finish.

  --We should call the police!

  After all, a person's subscious 't lie.

  Even though Dio's subscious about "evil" had been amplified using the full-dive device, there were still fws in this method.

  At present, teology ot turn someone ily weak into a cold-blooded killer by merely amplifying their tent feelings of ruthlessness.

  From Minamizawa Jyuhachi's uanding of the full-dive device, Dio's portrayal as a vilin wasn't just due to the device's influehe device merely enhanced his innate evil nature from a o a ten.

  Simply put, he suggested calling the police to thhly iigate Dio's past!

  This insight came from his experiences, having been forced by financial issues to work on some love-a films at a pure XX academy, meeting all sorts of people.

  And seeing how skilled Dio was, it wouldn't be surprising if he'd done simir things before.

  Even if he hadn't, given Dio's dangerous subscious, it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye on him.

  "I see, that's what you're worried about."

  "But rest assured, Minamizawa. I know the procedures and processes better than you."

  Pucci replied fidently.

  After all, anyone who discovered their roommate was Dio on their first day after crossing over would immediately call the poliless they had no idea who he was.

  Fortunately, Pucci had watched "JOJO" before crossing over.

  So, he anonymously reported Dio and eveher roommates to the police.

  He suggested the police duct a thh iigation and even hired famous detectives from this world to iigate them.

  However, since Dio and the others were still sharing the same dormitory and hadn't been arrested, it either meant the polid detectives found no evidence or, in this parallel world, Dio and the others hadn't itted any crimes.

  "Moreover, instead of w about something that might never be discussed iure, as directors, we should focus on the current filming."

  Steering the versation back to filming, Pucci said, "Although Dio's performance is already strong, I think we elevate it further by using special camera teiques to highlight his vilinous aura."

  "By the way, Minamizawa, do you have any ideas on this?"

  Indeed, Pucci was genuinely seeking advice.

  Because if the name Minamizawa Jyuhachi might n a bell, then Akiyuki Shinbo certainly would, even to those who don't watch muime!

  He is a big shot!

  "Monogatari Series," "Magical Girl Lyrianoha," "Puel Magi Madoka Magica," "Nisekoi"...

  Oer ahese representative works instantly made Pucci reize the person behind the pseudonym.

  Of course, with Akiyuki Shinbo still using the pseudonym Minamizawa Jyuhachi, he wasn't yet the future director who would boldly use freeze frames, filled with rge, bold text "KO NO DIO DA," repyed in a loop.

  But rather...

  "I think..."

  "What are you guys discussing?"

  Interrupting Shinbo's thoughts was Jolyne Cujoh.

  "Did something happen that warrants calling the police?"

  While saying this, she kept asking her system.

  If she reported herself and got the entire crew arrested, could she bypass the system's restri that required her to release the work and wait until the settlement date to get the system rebate?

  "Nothing much, it's just that our actor's intense performance scared Direinamizawa."

  "Oh."

  Hearing the system's ive answer, Jolyne replied with a face full ret.

  As for Pucci's expnation about the actor's intense performance...

  Jolyne, who had seen Minamizawa Jyuhachi's resume and personally recruited him, knew well that this bearded middle-aged man, who seemed perverted, actually was a director of such films.

  Initially, she wondered how to persuade Pucci to give Minamizawa Jyuhachi an important position.

  But she hadn't even finished her sentence when Pucci, reizing the name, enthusiastically insisted Minamizawa join his team, the position of assistant director!

  Hmph, men~~

  Therefore, Pucci's expnation naturally made Jolyhink he was implying something vulgar and violent.

  --If even a professional director like Minamizawa Jyuhachi thinks this film is vulgar and violent, then the final product must be extremely inappropriate for children and will definitely be banned?!

  --And am I destio lose money?!

  --As expected, my decision to choose Pucd Minamizawa Jyuhachi was correct!

  Extremely satisfied, Jolyne no longer focused on this minor issue and turo her real purpose for ing today: "By the way, is the crew's budget still suffit?"

  "Why do I find, when cheg the ats, that it seems you haven't spent much money?"
