Chapter 79. Bad Woman
---
"Ah? Mom, are you kidding me?!"
Jolyne Cujoh, fortably reing in a chair at home, was incredulously listening to the voi the phone.
"So Dad, that cold guy, is actually jealous that I made the old man the protagonist and is now making you plead on his behalf?!"
Well, Jolyne khat "Battle Tendency" had already started airing.
In fact, it was her idea to have it released early.
She had also seen the viewership data for the first episode of "Battle Tendency".
As she had expected, the numbers were very high.
Even higher than those for "Phantom Blood"!
After all, this was the sed part.
Giveuation with "Phantom Blood", even if the viewership data for the sed part's first episode had dropped, it wouldn't have been a drastic fall.
So Jolyne g the first episode's data and didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.
What she was really ied in was the sed episode's data.
What did the first episode's data matter?
For Joly was just a way to gauge hoeople had watched "Battle Tendency" and saw that Jonathan not only hadn't revived, but even his heir had been ruthlessly killed off.
As long as the plot was aired,
Those viewers attracted either by their love for the first part or by the rumors spread by the "White Snake" would iably face greater disappoi and aowards "Battle Tendency"!
As a result, not only would the viewership of "Battle Tendency" be affected,
But even the BD bonus sales of "Phantom Blood", which was still providing her with ine and reized as one of her revenue sources by the system, might be impacted!
Ihis was why Jolyne chose to produce "Battle Tendency" for the sed part, even though she k would naturally attract a rge following!
Without the fan base from the first part,
A sed part of a work would only be left with its fws!
And it wasn't over yet!
After summarizing the lessons learned from the first part, Jolyne had e to realize that the issue was with the actors!
Because the actors performed so well, "Phantom Blood", despite not having a popur star, a well-known studio, or a famous director, had bee a hit!
So, starting from where it had fallen, she po include some notorious actors in the sed part of "Battle Tendency", like adding a rotten apple to spoil the bunch, driving away the new viewers attracted by the sed part!
It could be said to be perfect!
After realizing that she seemed to have turned into a bad woman, Jolyne's smile hadn't faded for days.
Everything was under trol!
Therefore, when she received this phone call from her mother,
Jolyne was so bewildered.
Let alohe fact that her father—Jotaro Kujo—arently jealous, which seemed as ridiculous as saying Zeus was a gentleman and wouldn't get up to mischief.
Given the level of "Battle Tendency", Jolyne couldn't imagine what exactly Jotaro was envious of, as he sidered himself offended by both old and new audiences.
Was he envious that her great-grandfather's name was used for scolding?
Jolyne didn't uand.
Could it be that Jotaro, beh his cold exterior, was actually a masochist,
And her geher was actually a sadist, which is why they got together and had her?
"Wait a minute, why am I even w about this?"
"If Dad's true identity is a masochist, what's it to me?!"
Even if knowing Jotaro was a masochist might mean that the filial things she did wouldn't affect him and might even please him, she wasn't going to stop.
It was impossible!
She would do it out of defiance!
She didn't like Jotaro, who had never cared for her but always used his fatherly status to oppress her!
The idea of giving him a beating and making him suffer was her geention.
It wouldn't ge just because Jotaro was a masochist!
So...
"Don't worry, Mom." Jolyne, having these thoughts, tinued firmly on the phone: "After finishing the shoot for the great-grandfather's project, I'll have another project made with Dad as the protagonist."
Although she envisiohat "Battle Tendency" would eventually lose money,
And that the "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" IP would lose its ercial value,
This was the case for ordinary people.
For her, with the system where losing money is equivalent to making money, a losing IP was a truly valuable IP.
Creating a new JOJO with her dad as the protagonist ihird part of "JOJO's Bizarre Adventure" was no problem at all!
And more importantly...
"By the way, Mom, didn't you say Dad was envious of great-grandfather?"
"I just thought of a very iing idea. I guarahat by then, great-grandfather will end up envying Dad!"
Jolyne eagerly promoted her pn.
Although she khat the call was likely initiated by her mother without her father's knowledge,
Siaro had beeending in front of her for so long, how could he suddenly reveal he was a masochist now?
So it was highly likely that her mother saw through Jotaro's thoughts and used this excuse to rey the message as a third party.
In other words, what she said on the phone would likely be veyed to Jotaro.
Even if she couldn't hit him in real life,
In this plete virtual world...
Just wait and see if he doesn't call out for his mother!
"Alright, Mom! It's settled!"
Click———!!
After quietly finalizing the matter with her mother and happily hanging up the phone,
Jolyne tio hum the tune of "Roundabout" and maintained her good mood while cheg the viewership data for the sed episode of "Battle Tendency"...
