  Chapter 173. Don't e Any Closer

  ---

  "Director Pucci... y-y-y-y-you... what exactly are y to say!!?"

  After experieng great sorrow and joy, seeing the mess that Cujoh Joly behind, and watg Pucci, with just a few words, male these misfit actors and, despite all the limitations and suggestions, produething resembling a passable script, the reinvigorated staff members now felt as if someone had gripped them by the throat, stumbling as they uttered the above statement.

  "What am I trying to say?... Didn't I just say it? This is the Kira Yoshikage I know," Pucci replied calmly.

  Of course, the staff already khis! After all, being part of Pucci's crew, how could they not be familiar with the "Kira Yoshikage," who had some serious es?

  Plus, pared to many popur celebrities, Kira Yoshikage's looks were certainly not g. He had numerous admirers—though that might be an exaggeration—but the staff had a general uanding of him.

  They were also deeply impressed by the self-discipline and strict routine Pucci revealed, something that 99% of the world might not even manage.

  At least, they were impressed until now.

  Maybe it was the example Pucci gave earlier, or maybe it was the odd tone Pucci used wheing Kira Yoshikage's "self-introdu," but now the staff felt nothing but uheir bodies instinctively began to distahemselves from Kira Yoshikage. Suddenly, a rge open spaed around him.

  After all, staying up until two or three in the m was already the norm for most of them, and some even pulled all-nighters. Kira Yoshikage's disciplined lifestyle seemed unnervingly abnormal in this crowd.

  Especially since Pucci had used his own face to deliver this bizarre "self-introdu" of Kira Yoshikage. This wasn't just a case of something unusual being suspicious; there was definitely something wrong here!

  "Oops—!"

  Suddenly, a female staff member tripped ao the ground. Naturally, in such a crowded space, as people began to push outward, it was iable that someone would actally knoto someone else, causing them to fall. And sidering the situation, women were often at a disadvantage in such circumstances.

  "Are you okay?"

  Due to his proximity, Kira Yoshikage was the closest person to the fallen woman. While he felt strange about Pucci singling him out aioning his basiformation, which seemed full of malice, these details werely secret.

  Besides, everyo Araki Manor already knew about his habits. He didn't uand why everyone was suddenly rushing away from him, and so, with a smile, he extended his hand to help the .

  "I'll help you," he said kindly.

  "Eek... Aaaahhhhhh!!!"

  Almost instantly, as soon as Kira Yoshikage's smiling hand touched hers, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice crag as she shouted, "No! Don't e any closer!!"

  She scrambled backward on all fours, her face streaming with tears and snot, as she frantically tried to escape into the crowd.

  Kira Yoshikage was left frozen iill holding his hand out, looking utterly awkward.

  "..."

  "Cp, cp, cp! Alright, now you've all seen it for yourselves," Pucci cpped his hands to recapture everyone's attention. "How terrifying a person be whehe doctor says they're perfectly normal?"

  He tinued, "An ordinary office worker, carefully hiding among the masses, trying desperately to act like a normal, yet secretly perverted serial killer... Isn't that terrifying?"

  "Mm-hmm, mm-hmm," everyo Kira Yoshikage nodded furiously. It was as if anyone who hesitated for even a moment would be "offered" up to Kira Yoshikage.

  "If no one has any objes, this is roughly the dire the story for Part 4 will take. I'll write up a more detailed script ter," Pucci said casually. "But since we're not yet filming Part 4, there's no rush. After all, we still have a lot of 'Stardust Crusaders' left to shoot."

  Judging by how much of 'Stardust Crusaders' was left to film, Pucci added lightly, "Plus, President Cujoh only tasked us with preparing for this uping project. We're not starting produ on Part 4 just yet. Who knows, we might not evehe oo ha wheime es."

  sidering that Jolyne had split the duties between him and Akiyuki Shinbo, each direg different parts of the 'JoJo's Bizarre Adveories, it was entirely possible that Akiyuki Shinbo might end up handling the filming for Part 4.

  "So just get familiar with the story of Part 4 for now. We don't want tet it by the time Director Shinbo steps in to help."

  Fet it? How could they possibly fet!? Kira Yoshikage was standing right o them! They couldn't fet, even if they wao.

  However...

  "Wait, how did I bee a perverted serial killer?!"

  Finally realizing he'd been thrown uhe bus, Kira Yoshikage excimed, bewildered, "I'm just an ordinary office worker!"

  "Hey, Pucci! Expin it to them!"

  But by this point, nobody was listening to Kira Yoshikage's protests—especially since Pucci had already cast him as the vilin of JoJo Part 4.
