The treasure hunters that stupidly mistook my casket on the ocean floor
as a treasure chest or something naturally became one of my hundreds or
thousands of slices of bread. Yet those were only a few people. Only three or four
people's worth of nutrients. Not something I could say could cure the hunger in
my stomach that had been empty for 100 years.--- And it was located in the
middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
With the midday sunlight pouring down, even if I was riding inside a
cabin cruiser, I could not hide completely.--- If Enya the Hag had been just a few
days later in meeting me, I would likely have completely dried up.
Either because of the sun or because of hunger.
Enya's coming to get me on the sea like that was, yes...
"I learned it from a tarot card reading.---"
That is what she said, though I did not believe it.
There were people who knew that a hundred years ago the monster that
is me sunk into the sea in that area 100 years earlier.--- I thought she simply
heard that information and spread a net. I even had the conjecture that the
treasure hunters may have been her subordinates.
It was no result of fortune telling.
She merely had some ambition and was looking for an opportunity, I
thought.--- But it seems I was reading too much into things.
She told me.
While for me it was if I had suddenly been transported to the future
from 100 years earlier, she gave me knowledge of the present and most
importantly, she taught me about Stands. When I asked her just what it was she
was after, this is what she answered:
"My desire is to be by your side......
"Stands are guardian spirits...... And your guardian spirit possesses an
incredible power! That is the effect of leading a strange life with very bad luck......
"I want to see your life!
"That alone is enough for me......"
Perhaps that really was all.
