JJL Chapter 18
Summary
The chapter begins with Josuke thinking about the previous events: His double identity and the need to question Norisuke Higashikata. When he sits at the table for a normal breakfast, he sees that Hato comes in a swimsuit and later Daiya and Norisuke. After hugging Josuke, Daiya explains that the reason the family is wearing swimsuits to breakfast, is due to having missed their flight to Hawaii.
After a short argument between Joshuu and the rest of the family, Josuke asks Norisuke for a phone and permission to go to school. Norisuke agrees, but orders Joushuu Higashikata to escort him.
Shortly after Norisuke drops them off, Joshuu threatens Josuke about his relationship with Yasuho. Josuke has trouble understanding Joshuu's foolish nature, but he questions to himself whether or not he may be a stand user. Joshuu decides to test Josuke's intelligence using a math problem, to which Josuke solves with ease. Joshuu suggests that since Josuke is obviously not at a Middle School level, that he travel to Hasekura High School down the road. This is different then Joshuu's high school in S City, but he asks Josuke for a favor to help him handle some thugs that had robbed him before going down the road to Hasekura. After a short conversation, Josuke and Joushuu travel to down the street known as Robbing Road.
On the way, Joshuu spots a gang hanging around nearby, and asks Josuke to help him get a picture of them commiting a theft, in order to provide evidence to the police. A little girl begins to cry nearby and a woman walks up and starts interrogating Joshuu. Joshuu realizes that he had accidently stepped the woman's child's toy. Joshuu attempts to apoligize, but the woman begins loudly questioning Joshuu's upbringing, which in turn causes the people nearby to investigate. Joshuu is forced to pay the woman for the damaged toy, and him and Josuke try to escape.
An old man nearby asks Josuke why he has blood on his elbow, but reveals later on that Josuke has actually rammed himself into a nearby pet shop window, and killed a turtle in a tank. Josuke is confused, but the old man demands recompense. Joshuu had captured the entire thing on his camera phone, and watches the footage, revealing that Josuke had somehow instantly gone from his location meters away from the window, broke it, and returned to his original spot just as fast. He notices that the leaves under Josuke's feet seem to be acting strange as well. He decides to keep what he saw on his phone hidden from Josuke, the latter still confused as to how he accidently killed the turtle.
