That Girl's Bags Groove, Part 3 (あの娘のバグス・グルーヴ その③, Ano Musume no Bagusu Gurūvu Sono 3) is the eighteenth chapter of The JOJOLands and the nine hundred seventy-fifth chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.
Summary
At floor "B1" in the hospital, Dragona, Paco, Jodio, and Charming Man are struck by the bullets from Bobby Jean's Glory Days. While waiting at a lobby on the floor above them, Lulu asks Bobby if he can adopt her since she has no parents. She begs to be his daughter and says she loves him, but he dismisses her because he already has three kids and his wife doesn't even know Lulu. He also disapproves of Lulu's constant whining to buy her something, claiming he'd give his kids a spanking if they acted like that. In Lulu's case, he only buys them for her because they're together for work. Lulu starts crying, so Bobby tries calming her down. Lulu and Bobby figure that their targets should be dead by now, though Bobby thinks it's possible not all of them are since they're in a hospital and could heal their injuries. He asks what Lulu plans to do once they go back to the basement, wondering whether she has other orders, but Lulu states that she just needs to make sure whether they're dead or not. Bobby receives a photo of a younger Paco on his phone, having identified him by his appearance. He used to be in the military but was dishonorably discharged.
Meanwhile, the bullets slowly drill into the gang's bodies, with six of them digging into Paco's skin. Dragona uses Smooth Operators to remove each of them from Paco's body. Charming Man stops the bullet from entering his skin by using Bigmouth Strikes Again to crumble the skin on his neck. The bullet pierces through Jodio's cheek, but he then uses November Rain within his mouth to push it off trajectory. Two hospital staff members ask the gang if they're okay, but Paco has them leave by saying there's no problems. Dragona realizes that the bullets aren't automatic tracking types, meaning the Stand user already tracked them down. Nonetheless, Jodio feels hopeful about the situation; the enemy pursuing them means that the Lava Rock is working and made the enemy lose 50 billion dollars, and that value is now moving toward them.
Paco points out that Usagi is in the process of making an MRI with THE MATTEKUDASAI. Lying inside the MRI scanner, Usagi continues babbling about acronyms like DNA standing for "Deoxyribonucleic Acid" and NDA standing for "Non-Disclosure Agreement" while laughing and coughing out blood. Paco orders Charming Man and Dragona to take the photographs of inside Usagi's brain, while he and Jodio will stand guard. Jodio and Paco discuss their enemy's ability while Jodio stitches the hole in his cheek; 12 shots were fired and Jodio didn't hear any gunshots, but Paco was able to hear one. Jodio assumes the shooter can control the speed of the bullets with their Stand. Paco figures out that they must be hiding on a floor above by taking the nearby elevator, so he and Jodio need to be ready for another attack when they return.
Dragona tells Usagi to do his best to stay still. Charming Man warns Dragona not to get too close to the entrance of the MRI due to its magnetic resonance, but he is too late as Dragona's bracelets get stuck to the door. Charming Man also brings up that tattoos can cause burns which Dragona should be careful of. Since they're in a hurry, Charming Man looks through the photos to find the lesion in Usagi's brain, but the strong magnetism pulls a cart holding various items toward the MRI.
When the elevator opens, Paco and Jodio take alert. Paco decides to check the first floor and tells Jodio to stay there. Bobby Jean and Lulu exit the elevator just before Paco enters it. Lulu is shocked to see that all of them are okay. Bobby is holding his gun behind him, but it disappears as they walk out. Alone inside the elevator, Paco hears a gunshot sound again. Suddenly, several bullets are headed toward him. Thus, he realizes their enemies must be the two that just walked out. Paco uses THE Hustle to grab onto a wall panel, which he folds around his body to shield him from most of the bullets. He desperately tries yelling out to Jodio that the two who look like a father and daughter are the shooters. Meanwhile, Dragona worries that Usagi isn't going to make it if they don't head into his body soon, but the MRI isn't done taking photos.
Outside of the hospital, Mack laughs about Howler's situation. He plans to collect the 30 billion dollar loan from Howler before Howler gets an arrest warrant and his assets are frozen. However, Mack claims to have stomach pain from his nerves due to the situation involving a large amount of money. As he is about to enter the hospital to pick up a prescription for stomach medicine, he is suddenly shot in the head by a stray bullet from Glory Days.
