JoJolion - Chapter 45
Love Love Deluxe, Part 3 (ラブラブデラックス その③, Rabu Rabu Derakkusu Sono 3), originally Karera Sakunami the Runaway (逃亡者作並カレラ, Tōbōsha Sakunami Karera) in the UJ release, is the forty-fifth chapter of JoJolion and the eight hundred ninety-second chapter of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga.
Summary
The A. Phex brothers question people as to the whereabouts of Karera while she and Josuke continue on a day of shopping. Although Josuke's patience with the girl begins to wear thin, his interest is reignited when she suggests they go to 'his' home and she indicates she knows the location of where his former identity used to live.
The two get into a taxi and when at first Karera's methods don't seem to be getting the best of the driver as they usually do, she tries to exploit him further, proving how comfortable she is with debasing herself. The two eventually end up walking and find their way to Kira's apartment, which is where Karera implies Josuke was staying as well.
Josuke finds it relevant to finally disclose to her the fact that Kira is dead and has been for a few weeks now, much to the immediate shock of the girl. Suddenly imbued with an intense fear and paranoia, she begins to question Josuke as to the exact circumstances while theorizing his death is due to his knowledge of the "Locacaca" and that she must also be in danger.
Moments later, the A. Phex brothers converge on the duo and the elder brother sneaks up behind Karera to use his power to cover her in the fuel of an adjacent vehicle by transporting it out of the tank. He sets her ablaze and considers their target done for. To the surprise of the twins, Karera is saved by a myriad of mysterious soap bubbles which put out the flame before it can do any lasting damage to her.
Revealing his power Soft & Wet and telling Karera to flee, Josuke engages in combat with them and initially seems to have the overwhelming advantage until their superior numbers level the playing field. The brothers remark that Karera can be left to flee for now, as Josuke is the more dangerous opponent as of now.
