Collapse, but Stand users

At twenty, Velvey comes to Twilight Street to perform a magic show, and you take Aponia, Seele, and Paddo to watch.

You're not planning to contact Velvi first; you believe she'll find herself.

As you suspected, Velvi discovered that someone was manipulating Twilight Street behind the scenes.

Surprisingly, it was three months later that Velvi contacted you.

"Oh? You're the priest?"

"...Isn't my clothing obvious enough?"

Father Pucci was shopping in the store when he heard what Wilvi said and made a comment.

"No, I meant the 'priest'."

"I thought it would be some kind of fierce-looking guy, but you don't look like a bad person at all."

Vivi circled around Father Pucci, speaking with a puzzled expression.

"So, Miss Magician, is there anything I can help you with?"

Hearing Father Pucci's question, Vervi clapped her hands and said, "Father, are you interested in the cause of saving the world?"

"Actually, you didn't need to seek my help, did you?"

"But having an ally makes things easier, doesn't it?"

Father Pucci chuckled and handed a crucifix to Vervi.

"Join us, and I can help you."

"Oh? What will happen if I don't join?"

"No one else besides the organization knows of my existence."

“But I can make an exception for you this time, Miss Magician.”

"Oh? If you're so sincere... then I'll agree."

After saying that, Vivi took the crucifix that Father Pucci handed her.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Vervi."

"……I see."

"Alright, what is our organization going to do?"

"To save all of humanity."

"Wow! That's good! We're on the same page now."

"Miss Vilvi, won't you tell me why you've come to see me?"

"Let's find a secluded spot later to talk about it."

Father Pucci nodded and walked towards the sanatorium after buying his things.

Seeing this, Vervier followed. Father Pucci glanced at her but said nothing.

"Welcome back, Father. And this is... the lady who performed the magic trick?"

"Yes, she wants to join the sanatorium."

"Huh? Yes, I'm here to join the sanatorium."

"We should definitely celebrate! The sanatorium is a bit short-staffed lately."

“Father, I’ll take care of the cooking today. You can show this young lady around the sanatorium.”

After saying that, Aponia took the cooking ingredients that Pucci had bought and went to prepare lunch.

“Then, come with me, Miss Wilvi.”

Afterwards, Father Pucci led Virvi to the room where the previous priest had been.

"Hey, if the sanatorium is short-staffed, why don't you call your gangsters to help?"

“I don’t want those people coming to the nursing home; it’s upsetting to see them.”

Vilvi shrugged and said nothing.

"This will be my room from now on. You'll still provide room and board here."

"However, isn't this space a bit too small? Let me make it clear first, I need..."

Father Pucci interrupted Vervie by raising his hand and walked to the bookshelf on his own.

Push the thickest book back, and the bookshelf opens from the middle, revealing the staircase hidden behind it.

Father Pucci went downstairs, and Vervier followed.

"Oh, wow! Secret chambers and mechanisms, you seem to know quite a bit about them."

Father Pucci shook his head.

"This was left by the previous priest. How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied. There's so much space down here, enough for me to mess around with."

"Oh right," Wilvi said, patting her chest. Then, as if remembering something, she added, "I haven't told you why I'm looking for you yet."

"I recently discovered a suspected evil organization that is conducting human experiments!"

"A moth drawn to a flame, right?"

"Hey, you know that? That makes things easier."

Let's expose their true colors!

Seeing the excited expression on Vervie's face, Father Pucci nodded.

'Let's not tell her beforehand.'

[Afterwards, Velvi gave you a list of the materials and equipment she needed.]

[You agree to try your best to meet Velvi's demands, but on the condition that Velvi needs to manufacture weapons for your gang.]

Meanwhile, Velvey is investigating the Fire-Chasing Moth, and you send the Church's substitute messenger to help her.

“John Gerry A., go and help Wilvie.”

After Father Pucci finished praying in the church, he said something to the empty space next to him.

"Yes, Father."

A sound came from behind the statue in the church, then silence returned.

'The White Serpent doesn't absorb Honkai energy and convert it into energy for my main body like Killer Queen.'

'Each Stand should have its own ability to adapt to the Honkai world.'

'Or is it that this skill of stealing others' abilities can be used on Herrschers?'

'Looks like I'll have to borrow a Herrscher core from the Flame Chaser to try it out later.'
