Chapter 3: All Aboard

After the demon's shout there was a dead silence. Broken by the current Santa Claus.

—…Excuse me, Krampus then, but you must let me go. You know, this is very dangerous. There is no time to lose.

—You're right, there isn't. I'll let you go as soon as I finish what I have to do.

Krampus's voice trembled with extreme emotion.

—What are you going to do?

His red gaze made Santa Claus tremble with worry.

—Something I should have done a long time ago, and this time you won't stop me.

...----------------...

—Josuke, come down at once!

That morning the sky was clear, unlike in his dream. As he supposed, it was just a dream, still...

—Going!

They had to meet Giorno first, and then go for Jolyne and Jotaro. His mother bought an incredible minibus, for such a large family, it is perfect.

—Grandpa, do you need help with that?

—Don't worry, it's just this bag. You already helped with the rest.

He had been looking forward to the trip since early in the morning. His mother told him that since he was awake before the sun, he might as well help carry what was left.

—Everything ready, say goodbye to the house for a while.

"Goodbye, home!" Grandfather and grandson said in unison, smiling.

A few blocks away, they arrived where Giorno was waiting for them with his two suitcases.

Josuke waved at him from the window.

—Giorno, do you only have those two?

—That's all I need.—He waved back.

—Where is your mother Giorno?—Tomoko also looked out her window.

—She won't be able to come, she left me this note for you, Miss Tomoko.

Josuke went down to help him carry the things, while Giorno quickly approached Josuke's mother with the note.

—Ugh, what are you wearing here, Haru? —Josuke could only carry one of the bags with all his strength.

—Only what is necessary. —He looked away embarrassed. Picking up the other easily.

—Next stop, Kujo house! —Tomoko spoke loudly, followed by her son and her nephew far from her.

—To the house of the Kujo!

When they arrived in front of that large house, they took a moment to look at it, and greet the 4 relatives who were waiting for them at the entrance with several suitcases.

Tomoko came down to greet Holy and Sadao. While the boys loaded the suitcases into the vehicle with the help of their grandfather.

—What's wrong Jolyne, worried about the cold? They are a lot.

—Hush, most of them are from my parents, I only need a couple...— She proudly carried her two suitcases. Followed by Jotaro.

—So these other ones with starfish stickers are from…—Josuke looked at Jotaro.

—Only the necessary.—Said defensive Jotaro.

Josuke chuckled lowly.

—I didn't say anything about that. Four suitcases, Mr. Practical?

Jotaro growled something at him that he couldn't hear, but that sounded like "give me a break."

—One of them is pure communication devices,— Jolyne intervened, delighted to annoy her brother. —He talks to her sweetheart every day.

—Don't be a gossip—Jotaro looked at her seriously and slightly blushed. —It was just his luck to have such a sister.

Everyone who heard it laughed and Jotaro gave up for once.

—Good job everyone.— Tomoko agreed happily after getting back into the minibus with the twins' parents and seeing how they arranged things.

—Take a seat, we have a long trip ahead of us.

After everyone was seated. Tomoko took the wheel and accelerated.

Josuke hoped his mother would hold back a little this time, since it was a longer trip than normal and they had other passengers.

He looked sadly at Mr. and Mrs. Kujo, his grandfather was already taking a nap and the twins were listening to music quietly. Giorno took him by the hand, since he got dizzy too easily even though it wasn't the first time Tomoko had taken him somewhere.

Josuke handed him some motion sickness pills.

And, began the journey down the road.
