Actually, Kato Megumi and Miyauchi Hikari were not very clear about Miyauchi Hikage's true strength either.
After all, they hadn't seen Miyauchi Hikage take action much.
Miyauchi Hikari had only watched Miyauchi Hikage teach Katsura Kotonoha swordsmanship in the yard in the mornings, and briefly experienced the ability of Wonder of U firsthand.
To avoid worrying the family and to prevent Miyauchi Hikari from scaring herself.
Miyauchi Hikage obviously wouldn't tell Miyauchi Hikari about the assassinations by Inner World forces back then.
So Miyauchi Hikari actually only vaguely knew a bit about her younger brother's strength from the attitudes of the girls around him.
But Miyauchi Hikari had been in the Journalism Club for over a month now and had written quite a few news articles; her ability to make things up had improved a lot compared to before.
Now that Eriri wanted to hear, she was spouting all sorts of nonsense about her brother's "deeds".
Things like having the strength of Menkyo Kaiden (full mastery) upon his first contact with Kendo, easily slicing through steel with one strike;
Or that during the filming of those videos, their group had actually encountered dirty things, but they were easily slain by Miyauchi Hikage, and what was shown to the audience was only a small, insignificant part of it;
And that every night he would go out disguised to eliminate the increasing number of evil spirits in the darkness of Tokyo, to the point where he occasionally got injured fighting enemies, but Miyauchi Hikage never spoke of these things, only silently guarding the peace of this world.
As she spoke, Miyauchi Hikari herself somewhat believed it, truly shaping her brother in the direction of an unknown tragic hero.
Seeing Miyauchi Hikari hypocritically wiping the corners of her eyes as she spoke, looking moved by her own words, truly almost bluffed Eriri.
After all, she hadn't really spent time alone with Miyauchi Hikage in private. Now with this "true revelation of feelings" from Miyauchi Hikari, his biological sister, her mind also added many new imaginations about Miyauchi Hikage, this young man who usually didn't talk much at school and always got along gently with others.
Miyauchi Hikari originally wanted to continue shaping her brother to be even more heroic, until a hard object suddenly hit her head.
"Ouch!" Miyauchi Hikari instantly clutched her head and wailed.
She looked up, only to see that a crystal from the crystal chandelier above her had fallen off at some unknown time and happened to hit her head.
Kato Megumi and Eriri on the side also immediately leaned over with concern to check if Miyauchi Hikari was injured from the hit.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, just bad luck..." Miyauchi Hikari rubbed her head while waving her hand, indicating she was fine.
It was Kato Megumi on the side who sighed slightly, walked over, gently rubbed the injured spot for Miyauchi Hikari, and also took out some potion specifically for treating bruises and handed it to her friend.
"Hasn't Hikage-kun already told you many times? His ability automatically defends and searches his surroundings, so don't speak ill of him behind his back. This is already the seventh time, right..."
This one sentence instantly pulled Eriri, who was still imagining Miyauchi Hikage covered in various scars while unknown to others, back to reality.
The look she gave Kato Megumi also became somewhat puzzled.
Regarding this, Miyauchi Hikari also felt very wronged.
"I was just adding a bit of sensational elements, okay? When did I speak ill of him? Isn't our Journalism Club's style just like this? I just didn't expect this could also trigger that guy Hikage's defense mechanism. It's simply that he himself is too sensitive."
But after being hit like this, Miyauchi Hikari indeed became well-behaved.
Facing Eriri's puzzled expression, she could only honestly confess that she had indeed spoken a bit exaggeratedly just now.
"Alright, actually my brother isn't that miserable. Although he indeed often disappears all night, not knowing where he went to maintain justice, because he is very strong, he basically hasn't been injured much."
She pointed to the chandelier above her head.
"This is the superpower my brother awakened a while ago. It's roughly being able to bring good luck to those who treat him well, and bad luck to those who treat him badly."
Eriri blinked her eyes.
Just a moment ago he was a lonely hero with his back to the myriad lights of the city, how did he turn into an invincible style of turning his back on all living beings and being the sole sovereign in the blink of an eye?
Although she didn't know much about the Inner World, just hearing Miyauchi Hikari's description, she could roughly imagine how powerful this force was.
Being able to change others' luck, in other words, isn't this manipulating others' fate?
Miyauchi Hikari just made up a few sentences and encountered bad luck in the blink of an eye. Even without knowing where the limits of this ability lay, just from this, Miyauchi Hikage's figure instantly became unfathomable to Eriri.
"But normally Hikage-kun wouldn't use his ability randomly either. It's just that Hikari always refuses to believe it and constantly tries to find loopholes in Hikage-kun's ability, which is why she repeatedly tests the edges of this ability and suffers losses so many times," Kato Megumi explained to Eriri with a gentle tone.
"And truly speaking, as long as you don't speak ill of Hikage-kun and don't do things that might be detrimental to him, the luck of us who know Hikage-kun is actually quite a bit better than ordinary people. So you just need to communicate with Hikage-kun with a normal mindset. Hikage-kun is a very warmhearted person; if people he knows encounter any trouble, he is generally willing to help solve it."
Compared to the image of a tragic hero Miyauchi Hikari shaped earlier, this Miyauchi Hikage in Kato Megumi's mouth indeed appeared more consistent with her usual understanding of Miyauchi Hikage at school.
Back when she accidentally lost her wallet on the way to school, it was Miyauchi Hikage who found it, and to avoid gossip, he specially asked Miyauchi Hikari, a girl, to bring it to her.
Including the Miyauchi Hikage she later learned about from Shiina Mashiro and Kasumigaoka Utaha, he was indeed a warmhearted and almost omnipotent figure.
"Since that's the case, why didn't they ask Miyauchi Hikage-kun to help find that Stand?" Eriri muttered with some curiosity.
"Of course it's for the sake of fun."
The one speaking was Miyauchi Hikage.
Only his voice came from outside the room's door.
Then, Shiina Mashiro's door was knocked.
Hearing her brother's voice, Miyauchi Hikari's little face instantly fell, while Kato Megumi briskly walked to the door and opened it for Miyauchi Hikage.
"Thanks, Megumi."
Miyauchi Hikage thanked Kato Megumi, and also nodded in greeting to Eriri, whose gaze towards him was slightly nervous.
Then, he walked in front of his sister.
"Just now I sensed my ability was triggered again. Feeling it slightly, I found you were speaking ill of me behind my back again. You truly have carried forward the charm of journalism."
"Fortunately, I have always been restraining the ability. Just now was only the lowest level of bad luck, otherwise it would have at least made you sprain your ankle for a few more days."
He reached out his hand, a trace of Hamon flashing from his palm, and in just a few seconds, the bump on top of Miyauchi Hikari's head subsided.
Although the healing effect of Hamon doesn't have the outrageous healing speed of the Reverse Cursed Technique, let alone easily regenerating severed limbs.
But for Miyauchi Hikage, who was a little sun himself, using Hamon to treat those ordinary injuries was still easy-peasy.
It's just that his own strength was far higher than his healing ability, so normally people wouldn't specifically come to ask him to help with healing. At most, when instructing Katsura Kotonoha and the others, he would simply teach them how to breathe to maximize the maintenance of Hamon's healing effect.
"I was just slightly processing your deeds artistically. So, you still have to find a way to make a whitelist for this ability," Miyauchi Hikari responded stubbornly.
To this, Miyauchi Hikage didn't speak, just lightly tapped his sister's head with a hand chop.
He could actually make a whitelist, but there was truly no need for it.
"Alright," Miyauchi Hikage glanced at Kato Megumi on the side, and then said to his sister, "You guys should be talking about the Stand user matter, right? I came for this too."
Hearing Miyauchi Hikage's words, Miyauchi Hikari instantly became energetic.
"So, bro, you've already awakened a Stand?"
"What kind of ability did you awaken? Can you let your sister incidentally awaken a Stand too through that bloodline connection or whatever?"
Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand.
"If you want to awaken a Stand, you can awaken it anytime. But if your Hamon is still half-baked like it is now, your body and spirit might not be able to withstand the power of a Stand."
"So, for the sake of your body, I can only forcibly suppress my own power and not let it awaken."
"You know, Renge has already far surpassed you in Hamon training now. If you continue like this, it's really hard for me to feel at ease."
Miyauchi Hikage was casually making things up, but Miyauchi Hikari obviously took it seriously.
She instantly looked at her brother with shining eyes, rubbing her hands together, her tone unavoidably becoming fawning.
"It's fine, it's fine. If you can awaken a Stand, then I will definitely practice Hamon properly and definitely won't fail your good intentions!"
"Then let's wait until you show some performance. I don't want to see you half-dead when you awaken a Stand then."
Miyauchi Hikage wasn't joking with these words.
With the projections of these meteorite fragments in hand now, it's really not that hard to make someone awaken a Stand, he just needs to research with Tohru and the others how to make someone awaken without side effects.
Although Stand abilities are uncontrollable and negative abilities might appear, that is ultimately determined according to each person's own willpower, and there are not many negative Stands in the entirety of JOJO.
Like Cheap Trick's Kinoto Masazo, before awakening a Stand, he didn't like people seeing his back, and probably had some self-destructive tendencies. The Stand completely amplified this desire in his heart, which was why it became a purely negative Stand that wanted to drag more people down with him even after he died.
The mental condition of the Miyauchi family is still relatively healthy. The only problem is the eldest sister's overly laid-back personality and his twin sister's overly flighty personality, making Miyauchi Hikage somewhat worried whether their bodies can withstand the awakening of a Stand.
In JOJO, there are quite a few people mentioned who had problems due to Stand awakening.
In Part 3, the purpose of the Stardust Crusaders' crusade against DIO was to stop Kujo Holy from awakening a Stand, because her body and willpower couldn't bear the pressure of a Stand awakening.
Parts 4 and 5 both mention that Higashikata Josuke and Giorno fell ill when awakening their Stands. Higashikata Josuke almost died from a high fever, and Giorno directly underwent an atavism from black hair to blond hair after falling ill.
Miyauchi Hikage obviously didn't want his family members to encounter these problems.
In comparison, the girls who obtained diaries don't need to worry about this problem.
One reason is that after obtaining the diaries, they have been using Reading Value to improve their proficiency in Hamon.
One point of Reading Value is equivalent to an ordinary person's practice for a week. Over more than two months, even if they only spent 50 Reading Value points on Hamon, it's equivalent to a normal person practicing Hamon for over a year.
This is enough to cause significant improvements in a person's body and spirit. Coupled with the seemingly non-existent connection in early discarded settings where Stands were also called Ghost Hamon, allowing someone to safely awaken a Stand isn't a huge problem.
Moreover, if they truly encounter any mental pressure, using Reading Value can easily remove the effects of these pressures.
Like Gotoh Hitori, her awakening was very smooth, even to the point where she herself felt nothing at all, she had already completed the awakening of a Stand.
The only problem was that because she herself didn't realize her Stand had awakened, that highly intelligent Stand she awakened ran away on its own during the Stand awakening period, the most unstable period for a Stand.
If Gotoh Hitori wants her Stand to be obedient, she'll probably have to put in quite a bit of effort, but overall it's actually not too difficult.
In comparison, for these girls without diaries to awaken a Stand, they would more or less have to suffer a bit.
Miyauchi Hikage's gaze fell on Kato Megumi.
Relying on her relationship with Miyauchi Hikari, after joining the Journalism Club together, because they had to run around outside all day and consume a lot of physical strength, at Miyauchi Hikari's request, Miyauchi Hikage also helped Kato Megumi master the simple Hamon breathing rhythm.
Kato Megumi's talent was considered not bad, but after all, she had only mastered it for a month, which was about the same fifty-fifty level as Miyauchi Hikari.
Originally, Miyauchi Hikage had wondered if it would be the Cat's Eye three sisters, whose mental and physical aspects were basically completely mature, who would awaken a Stand, and also thought about Eriri, this well-known doujin artist, gaining a Stand ability relying on her drawing skills.
Including Fujiwara Chika, this cancer of the Earth, Miyauchi Hikage had also thought about her obtaining a Stand.
It's just that, who could have imagined that after coming to Morioh Town, the second person whose body showed signs of a Stand awakening would actually be Kato Megumi.
