It's a truly unpleasant fact.
There was absolutely no sign of it being pulled out; rather, the arrow seemed to be penetrating deeper and deeper.
The shape of the arrow is even visible on the skin of the shoulder.
(What to do? If stopping time doesn't work, is backtracking the only option?)
At this critical moment, Homura Akemi is desperately trying to figure out how to save Miyu.
If it weren't for the maid interfering with her time-stopping, she wouldn't have ended up in this predicament.
(But if I use that power, I can't be sure to what extent time will rewind.)
That's right, if things were the same as before, she would definitely go back to where she was a month ago.
But here, we certainly can't go back to that "distant past".
The most likely scenario is that it will return to the moment when Miyu first summoned herself.
(The arrow will activate her Stand ability. In return, you need to help me kill Josuke Higashikata, Jotaro Kujo, and others.)
Recalling the old man's words, Homura Akemi frowned and hesitated.
If Miyu can truly awaken her so-called "Stand," it would mean gaining another combatant.
This would be a good result for her as well.
"!"
However, the sight of the arrow gradually sinking into Miyu's body also made her somewhat worried.
"It's alright, Archer."
"If there are any problems, you can use it again."
Suppressing her inner fear and panic, Miyu could also sense Homura Akemi's hesitation.
Thinking of the "despair" she had experienced and the obsession she had endured through hundreds of reincarnations, Miyu wanted to help her.
This war is for myself and for her.
Miyu wanted to do her part.
"Meiyu."
Upon hearing this, Homura Akemi paused for a moment, sensing the other party's determination.
She then released her grip on the arrow's fletching.
The arrow then pierced into Miyu's body.
.........
"Is that so? Bites the Dust should have activated, but instead of returning to an hour ago, it returned to a few minutes ago."
Kira Yoshikage sat in his office, listening to the report from his servant and pondering.
What exactly went wrong?
The ability of Bites the Dust is "invincible," so there's no reason for it to have any oversights.
If that's the case, why wasn't time rewound to an hour earlier?
"Furthermore, the fact that Rohan Kishibe was not killed by the bomb again as he was destined to die proves that Bites the Dust was not actually successfully activated."
"But in reality, time was rewound by a few minutes."
"Could she be his servant? Possessing the same type of ability as me?"
Based on the available information, he discussed the matter with Itachi Uchiha.
Yoshikage Kira was momentarily anxious, but then calmed down.
"Forget it, even if it exists, so what? I will never die."
Chapter 170, Encounter 169!
"Miyu, are you alright now?"
"Um"
Seeing Miyu slowly waking up on the sofa, Homura Akemi sat down next to her and asked, to which the latter responded somewhat dazedly.
Have you noticed any changes in yourself?
When she pressed for details, Homura Akemi handed her a glass of water.
If Miyu truly possesses a "stand" in this world, then its specific abilities and powers become very important.
Perhaps it can change their current predicament.
"Wait a moment, what is it?"
She could vaguely sense something connected to her, and Miyu took the water, looking at the rippling surface, and whispered.
Although it is still very weak, it feels like a "child" drawing on her magic and spiritual power to grow.
Perhaps this is what is meant by a "stand-in"?
"It seems unusable now, but we should be able to see some initial results in a while."
After drinking the water, gradually becoming more awake, Miyu suddenly felt a sense of peace for some reason.
A sense of familiarity
"Really? Then you should get some rest. I need to go out for a bit."
"Be careful, Archer."
"Don't worry, as long as you're still alive, I'm almost certainly not going to die."
"Remember to bring an umbrella, it looks like it's going to rain in the morning."
"understood"
.........
"Seriously, I was woken up so early in the morning, and now I can't even go straight to that bastard Yoshikage Kira."
As Josuke walked to school with Koichi and Ikuyasu, he seemed rather irritable, as if he hadn't woken up properly.
"Isn't there no other way?"
"If you rush into battle without understanding your opponent's strengths and weaknesses, you might die."
Seeing Josuke's dissatisfaction, Kang could understand his feelings.
We finally have a lead on that serial killer, but we can't touch him.
"I'm telling you, why worry about all that? Just watch me take down that Servant of his!"
Nijimura Okuyasu, however, spoke up as if he didn't care.
His stand-in, "Bombard Space," is capable of "shredding" away all matter, including space itself.
Even if that Servant is very strong, once you catch them, no amount of defense will work.
"Yi Tai is right, I've come up with a good idea."
"Eh?"
"How about we find out Yoshikage Kira's commute times and routes, and then take him out from a distance?"
"With Saki Caster and Assassin working together, can't we do whatever we want?"
Suddenly, as if he had just thought of something, Josuke clapped his hands excitedly.
"Use Okuyasu's Stand ability to pull Kira Yoshikage close and kill him while time is stopped."
"Maybe it will work."
Kang Yiye carefully considered this possibility and subconsciously nodded.
(Kira Yoshikage's Servants may have the ability to rewind time, but they may not have the means to stop time.)
(Why is Rohan-sensei so certain?)
(If the other party could do that, I should have died in the initial time stop, instead of after I obtained information about Yoshikage Kira.)
(So that's how it is. If they could have kept it hidden, they would have definitely killed him before anyone else found out.)
"But how do we find out Kira Yoshikage's commute route and specific times?"
"If we get discovered, it will only alert the enemy."
"Hmm, this should be fine. Sakuya, it's all yours now. You've already seen the photos."
(Don't call me by my name.)
"Oh, sorry, Caster."
Josuke casually mentioned the other person's name, scratched his head, and looked somewhat helpless.
While their own servants can be quite cooperative in some ways, they can also be a bit "unapproachable".
