Chapter 155 - A Pervert Who Longs for a Peaceful Life and Inner Calm

Ding-ling…

As the bell rang, the tavern door slowly opened.

Everyone inside instinctively looked over.

A tall man entered their field of vision.

He had blond hair and a lean face. Beneath a purple suit, he wore a green striped shirt. From head to toe, he carried the air of an elite office worker.

The newcomer was none other than the final antagonist from the JoJo world—

Yoshikage Kira.

He was also the very first otherworldly guest with the "pervert" trait.

On the surface, he looked like an ordinary salaryman.

Someone who loved living a quiet, inconspicuous, stable life.

But beneath that exterior lay the truth—

A textbook serial killer with a severe hand fetish.

His level of abnormality was beyond doubt.

At this moment, under the gazes of everyone in the tavern, Yoshikage Kira felt immense pressure.

Yet his powerful mentality allowed him to calmly accept one fact—

This was another world entirely.

He swept his eyes across the tavern.

Spacious. Luxurious. Spotless.

The air carried the intoxicating aroma of alcohol that drinkers longed for.

Hmm…

For someone who pursued a high-quality lifestyle like Yoshikage Kira, this was undoubtedly a perfect place to drink.

His gaze slowly passed over every customer.

A wolf walking upright.

Two monsters pouring their hearts out to each other.

Angel sisters arguing loudly…

If it were anyone else, they would've fled in terror.

But Yoshikage Kira merely straightened his posture and spoke calmly:

"My name is Yoshikage Kira."

"I am thirty-three years old."

"I live in the northeast section of Morioh's villa district. I am not married."

"I work at the Kameyu Department Store."

"I return home no later than eight every night. I don't smoke, and I only drink in moderation."

"I go to bed at eleven p.m. sharp and always get eight hours of sleep."

"Before sleeping, I drink a glass of warm milk and do twenty minutes of stretching to relax my body."

"Almost every night, I sleep straight through until morning."

"When I wake up, I feel like a newborn baby—without fatigue or stress."

"Even the doctors say I'm perfectly normal."

His self-introduction echoed through the tavern.

Not a single pause.

As though he had rehearsed it countless times.

But—

The tavern had fallen deathly silent.

Everyone stared at him blankly.

What the hell was all that?!

Which doctor said you're normal?

Bring that quack here—

I swear I won't stab him…

Seeing the atmosphere turn strange, Ron broke the silence:

"Welcome, Mr. Yoshikage Kira."

"My name is Ron. I'm the owner of this tavern. Please, have a seat."

Yoshikage Kira nodded and calmly walked to the bar.

By pure coincidence—

Deep Sea and Homelander were seated right beside him.

The three of them exchanged a single glance and reached the same conclusion in unison:

This guy is definitely a pervert.

Soon after, Tohru placed a bottle of liquor in front of him.

"Your drink. Please enjoy."

"Thank you."

Yoshikage Kira nodded politely—

Then, without drawing attention, glanced at Tohru's soft, slender hand.

Beautiful.

Too beautiful…

It was the most exquisite hand Yoshikage Kira had ever seen.

None of the women he had killed before could even compare.

But in the very next second—

That delicate white hand suddenly transformed into a dragon claw covered in green scales.

Yoshikage Kira froze.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

When he confirmed he hadn't imagined it—

He heard something shatter.

Yes…

His heart had broken.

The feeling was like spotting an unmatched beauty, preparing to strike up a conversation—

Only to realize the next second that it was actually an "ugly Hua," picking her nose.

Pain.

Too much pain.

"You'd better restrain yourself here."

"Otherwise…"

"You won't even know how you died."

Seeing something was off, Deep Sea warned him quietly.

"No. You don't understand how I felt just now."

Yoshikage Kira twisted open the bottle, poured a glass, and took a light sip before muttering:

"When I first saw the Mona Lisa…"

"How should I put it…"

"Well… this might sound vulgar, but I got hard."

As he said that, his expression returned to calm.

"Forget it. What's gone is gone."

"This hand is fine too."

After speaking, he took a severed hand from his coat and admired it carefully.

The way he looked at it—

Was as if he were gazing upon the most beautiful woman in the world.

Seeing this scene—

Both Homelander and Deep Sea fell completely silent.

Originally…

They thought drinking freshly squeezed milk and fooling around with sea creatures was already perverted enough.

Who would've thought the tavern would welcome someone even more extreme…

"Kid, isn't this a bit too twisted?" Rayleigh shuddered.

"You don't understand," Ron explained in a low voice.

"Yoshikage Kira is indeed a pervert."

"But what he desires is a peaceful, harmonious life that never attracts trouble."

"It's very real—just like an ordinary person."

"The only difference between him and normal people…"

"Is that he expresses the darkness inside his heart, and all the repressed instincts, without holding anything back."

If one observed Yoshikage Kira's entire life from a god's perspective,

They would inevitably see fragments of themselves within it.

Rayleigh nodded thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Yoshikage Kira asked with curiosity,

"Boss, you seem to understand me very well."

Ron nodded.

"Of course."

"A pervert who compares his urge to kill to the uncontrollable growth of fingernails…"

"It's hard not to want to understand you."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Yoshikage Kira gently stroked the severed hand and spoke softly:

"But those are merely my inner desires."

"All I truly want is a quiet, peaceful life."

"I want to live happier than anyone else."

Even so—

The "peaceful life" Yoshikage Kira envisioned was fundamentally different from that of ordinary people.

Inner calm mattered above all else.

Killing was merely a necessary means to obtain peace.

For that, he could ignore every rule and law in the world.

Ron smiled faintly.

"I wish you happiness."

Hearing that—

Yoshikage Kira fell silent.

Could he really live happily?

What was happiness?

The uncontrollable bloodlust?

Or the inner tranquility he so desperately pursued?

Countless questions flashed through his mind.

But soon—

He found his answer.

If this life could continue…

Then he could keep getting hard forever!!

At that moment, Deep Sea grinned and said:

"I once heard Brother Xiao Zizai say—"

"You and I are perverts who revel in death and fall into darkness."

"But if there's still even a trace of light in your heart…"

"Then point your blade toward those who deserve to die."

"Doesn't that sound cool?"

Yoshikage Kira froze briefly—

Then looked at Deep Sea as if staring at an idiot.

"Sorry."

"But that sounds incredibly stupid to me."

"I only kill women."

"If I don't kill women, I can't go on living."

"Only by destroying and possessing beautiful things…"

"Can I feel true peace!"
