Tonio was also seeing other humans with supernatural powers for the first time. Especially since Miyauchi Hikage looked like an official staff member, and inexplicably gave him a sense of intimacy.
Therefore, being naturally extroverted and having quite a bit of a desire to share, he directly told Miyauchi Hikage and these girls how he obtained this so-called "Stand" ability.
"It should have been when I was traveling in Europe. It has been several years since I got it until now. The feeling it gave me was that after my culinary skills broke through to a certain level, I then naturally obtained it, and also understood its function."
After some confirmation, Tonio also basically confirmed that his ability should indeed be that so-called "Stand".
Because of this, he could not help but sigh: "Do Stand users attract each other? It sounds like a truly wonderful fate."
"I have searched for so many years and only vaguely heard of some specious special events. I came to Morioh Town entirely to find a way to obtain abalone. I did not expect that there would actually be a mysterious power here that could actively make others obtain Stands?"
His gaze looked towards Miyauchi Hikage, asking if the other party had discovered other Stand users, or if they had just arrived in Morioh Town and discovered him, a Stand user from out of town.
Actually, he had already mentioned the names of a few Stand users using the mysterious person's alt account, such as Kishibe Rohan who possessed Heaven's Door, and Kira Yoshikage who had already been sent to hell.
There was also Kobayashi Tamami, who could rely on others' guilt to blackmail and extort, and the absolute pitfall that was Cheap Trick.
Therefore, after hearing Tonio's inquiry, Miyauchi Hikage nodded gently: "We have currently confirmed the existence of several other Stand users in Morioh Town, and are still continuing to search. Moreover, we also discovered a perverted serial killer here who used his Stand ability as a cover to successively kill dozens of innocent women over a period of more than ten years."
Hearing this, Tonio's face looked a bit unwell. He did not expect that such a dangerous guy was actually hidden in this seemingly peaceful small town.
"To think there would be such a thing..."
Miyauchi Hikage nodded: "After all, among Stand users, or rather, supernatural beings who obtained supernatural powers through various channels, there will naturally be some people who get lost in the power after gaining it. Of course, he has now paid the price for his actions."
After Miyauchi Hikage finished speaking, he also told Tonio to relax and not be nervous: "However, the number of such guys is still not large, and the Inner World also has dedicated ways to deal with those criminals, so you do not need to worry either."
Then he reminded the other party again not to use this ability casually in front of ordinary people: "Currently, the Inner World's attitude towards ordinary people is still mainly based on secrecy. The effect of your ability is quite obvious. If it is noticed by someone, it is estimated to cause no small impact. So when you cook in the future, it is best to restrain your ability. The situation with my older sister today is still quite scary for ordinary people to see."
Miyauchi Hikari indeed looked much more energetic now than before, but between her eyeballs shriveling and squatting in the toilet for ten minutes, this process was indeed somewhat terrifying.
Tonio rubbed his head somewhat embarrassedly. The activation process of his ability was indeed a bit scary, so he would normally control it as well. It was only for those customers who came alone that he might slightly increase the dose to make the dish's effect more obvious.
Knowing that he noticed the uniqueness of the group and thus probed by exerting his ability to the maximum, which caused her to suffer such an ordeal, Miyauchi Hikari's eyes looking at her younger brother could not help but become a bit resentful.
In response, Miyauchi Hikage countered that it was Miyauchi Hikari herself who did not pay attention to her health, and her Hamon training was only a three-minute passion, which was why she suffered.
Look at Kato Megumi. She had not practiced Hamon, and her physical constitution might not be as good as Miyauchi Hikari's, but she basically had no special reaction after eating these dishes, indicating that her body had absolutely no problems.
On the other side, while listening to the chat between Miyauchi Hikage and Tonio, Kasumigaoka Utaha had also been sending what she heard to the group, letting the girls analyze it.
Because Tonio's Stand name perfectly matched the naming rules set by that manga artist for Stands, the people in the group quickly confirmed that this chef from Italy should also be a character appearing in that manga.
Then, judging from his lack of malice, his desire to peacefully research cooking, and his performance of using his dishes to heal more people, he did not seem like a villain, but rather a member of the protagonist group.
Moreover, this ability to use cuisine for rapid healing might even make him the designated doctor of the team.
Yukinoshita Yukino: "According to the mysterious person, the source of Stand abilities comes from those alien meteorites possessing special power. Then, if one's ancestors had possessed a Stand, the descendants might also regain the Stand ability due to their bloodline."
"Perhaps this is the case with Tonio. His ancestors once obtained a Stand ability, and then this ability remained hidden in their family's bloodline until Tonio's generation, where his culinary skills reached the pinnacle of perfection, thereby inducing the power within his bloodline to awaken a Stand."
This guess was also quite consistent with the mysterious person's explanation about Stand users in the diary.
But in this case, there would be no way to analyze how to obtain a Stand ability from Tonio's side.
After all, they did not know whether their bloodlines contained the power of a Stand, but there was a high probability that they did not.
If they wanted to obtain a Stand, they would probably still have to find other methods.
Doma Umaru: "But Miyauchi Hikage's ability to lie through his teeth is really strong. It was clearly the mysterious person who took Kishibe Rohan to finish off that Kira Yoshikage, but coming from Miyauchi Hikage's mouth, it became him coming over to investigate Stand users as a supernatural being from Jujutsu High. He just directly credited the mysterious person's achievements to himself like this."
Kuroneko: "If you had his strength, you could do the same. Also, I must remind you, although our messages in the group should be shielded from outsiders, if you really say bad things behind his back, his ability might also sense your complaints about him."
Upon hearing this, Umaru instantly became well-behaved, and hurriedly said several words praising Miyauchi Hikage both in the group and privately.
She had heard quite a few things from Shinomiya Kaguya about how miserable those assassins who went to assassinate Miyauchi Hikage ended up.
Just in case she accidentally said bad things about him behind his back and also triggered the other party's power of fate, even if the bad luck he inflicted on her was merely making her hit the hard pity every time she pulled in gacha games, it would be a pain she could not bear.
