JJL Chapter 87
Summary
Ojiro Sasame is now in the commercial district of Morioh, gulping down an ice cream from the Higashikata fruit parlour as well as a quantity of snacks; in truth he is watching the parlour itself. When an old lady complains about him trashing the place, he puts his trash in a bag but then sticks the bag to a passerby's luggage with his chewing gum. Watching the Higashikata Family, Ojiro prepares his next move.
Meanwhile, Tsurugi dozes off near a fountain, dreaming about the new Rokakaka. Near him are sitting a mother and her baby, and the child almost touches Tsurugi's origami only for the mother to take it from him. Tsurugi suddenly wakes up and seeing what is happening cries in panic and flees. The mother then realizes that her baby is drowning in the fountain. Feeling the first symptoms of the Rock Disease, Tsurugi impatiently awaits for the new fruit and is determined to keep silent about his condition so that Norisuke doesn't plan to perform an equivalent exchange. Seeing a group of older kids passing by, Tsurugi asks himself if he will be as happy as them when he reaches their age and what must be done to be happy.
Tsurugi has arrived to a cliff but is then confronted by Ojiro. Ojiro exposes his research about Tamaki Damo's dry cleaning business and tells that he knows about the Rokakaka Organization's money laundering scheme. Insisting on the punishments the members could suffer if they ever were uncovered, Ojiro corners Tsurugi to the border of the cliff. Mentioning that his "friend" Yoshikage Kira died here and the Rokakaka itself, Ojiro says that he knows about Jobin's smuggling of the fruit and demands to be introduced to him or else he'll denounce him to the police, sending him to jail. Distressed, Tsurugi seems he's about to fall off the cliff, but it is Ojiro who finds himself falling. Grabbing a nearby pine tree's branch at the last moment, he realizes that he's been affected by Tsurugi's Stand and that he's dealing with Stand Users.
Tsurugi flees to the the Higashikata House and tells his father about Ojiro. Worried about this unknown man, Jobin checks whether anyone has entered the house and then goes to check on his hidden Rokakaka, followed by Tsurugi. Everything seems fine but Jobin and Tsurugi realize that the latter has a mark on his hand and that he's been holding a phone that isn't his. Indeed, Ojiro has taken control of Tsurugi's hand and has seen through the mobile phone the location of the new plant. Calling Makorin, Ojiro tells her that he's gathered the proofs that will ruin the Higashikata's reputation and sends her the location of the fruit. However, Ojiro plans to take one for himself while Jobin and Tsurugi think of a counterattack.
