Compared to Gotoh Hitori, who had no reaction even when her Stand went out of control, Kato Megumi's body was currently showing some minor reactions because her Stand hadn't fully awakened yet.
Miyauchi Hikage just swept his gaze over Kato Megumi and knew that her body was currently in a low-grade fever state.
However, because of the support of Hamon Breathing and Kato Megumi's own personality, the current low-grade fever truly wouldn't have a significant impact on her.
That was why she could stay in Shiina Mashiro's room right now, chatting with people as if nothing was wrong.
But when her Stand fully awakens, and during the potential Stand rampage that might occur right after awakening, Kato Megumi's body would probably show much more obvious reactions.
And as she realized Miyauchi Hikage's gaze falling on her, Kato Megumi felt a bit strange at first, but she still remembered that Miyauchi Hikage had just mentioned the matter of Stands.
"So... you mean, it's me?"
Feeling Miyauchi Hikage's gaze, Kato Megumi blinked, seemingly realizing something. She pointed at herself inquiringly and asked in a low, unconfident voice.
Miyauchi Hikage nodded gently at Kato Megumi.
"Although it hasn't taken shape yet, your body has already started emitting that special power fluctuation. If you feel it carefully yourself, you might also be able to sense the changes in your body."
It wasn't until Miyauchi Hikage said this somewhat abruptly that Miyauchi Hikari realized her brother was talking to Kato Megumi. Her gaze instantly went back and forth between Miyauchi Hikage and Kato Megumi several times before she finally understood what her brother was saying.
"Ah, you mean Megumi is going to awaken a Stand?" Miyauchi Hikari said, then hastily observed her friend carefully with a scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't resist reaching out to poke Kato Megumi's ticklish spots to see if she would have any special reactions.
Eriri on the side was equally surprised. She was still adapting to the fact that this classmate of hers in the same grade was a "superhero" with extremely powerful strength behind the scenes.
And in the blink of an eye, she learned from Miyauchi Hikage that Kato Megumi, a girl who looked completely ordinary at first glance, was also going to awaken a Stand.
To be honest, after knowing that one is likely to awaken a Stand when their skills reach a certain level, she still had some small expectations for herself inwardly.
After all, she had started learning to draw from a young age. Although she mistakenly went down the path of no return as a doujin artist later on and was still waiting for an opportunity to go mainstream, regarding drawing skills alone, she felt that among her peers, currently only the already famous Shiina Mashiro could steadily surpass her.
Compared to other high school artists, she never felt her drawing skills were inferior to anyone's. At most, she lacked creative ability and couldn't create a story that everyone would like.
But even someone as strong as Shiina Mashiro had the same problem in this regard. It's just that Shiina Mashiro found Miyauchi Hikage, and she currently hadn't found that person who perfectly matched her.
So, inwardly she still felt she had a considerable chance of awakening a Stand.
Even before resting in bed these past few days, she couldn't help but wonder if she obtained a Stand ability, whether she should tell Aki Tomoya about it?
As a hardcore otaku, that guy was more or less a bit chuunibyou, so it shouldn't take him much time to accept these things, right?
Perhaps, using this as an opportunity, could successfully let the two of them reconcile?
It's just that whenever she had such thoughts, she would remind herself not to let her imagination run wild.
Because of Kasumigaoka Utaha's reminder, Eriri had already repeatedly pondered for a long time about her relationship with Aki Tomoya, and what exactly her feelings for him were.
Perhaps over a long period of time, due to the unwillingness in her heart, she had indeed misunderstood this broken friendship into another kind of emotion.
But for the current Eriri, she still wanted to at least turn her relationship with Aki Tomoya from negative to positive again.
Just, she didn't expect that it would actually be Kato Megumi and that guitar player in the band who awakened Stands?
It seemed she truly wasn't that lucky yet.
And as Eriri pondered this, Kato Megumi also looked at her hands somewhat puzzledly, seemingly not feeling any special power. She then asked Miyauchi Hikage why she would be the one to awaken a Stand.
Obviously she was so ordinary and inconspicuous, had no blood relation to Stand users, and possessed no masterful skills.
Her only hobby was probably just scrolling through news and forums on her phone.
Regarding this, watching Miyauchi Hikari almost pressing her nose against Kato Megumi to sniff her scent, Miyauchi Hikage directly grabbed his sister backhanded and lifted her away, then continued speaking to Kato Megumi.
"Megumi, you haven't been ordinary from the very beginning."
Miyauchi Hikage waved his hand.
"After all, you look very pretty and have a good personality, but inexplicably, few people in the class notice your presence, and many even subconsciously forget your name. This point alone already represents that there must be something special about you."
Kato Megumi let out a soft "Eh", her face blushing slightly due to Miyauchi Hikage's statement.
But it was only slightly.
Miyauchi Hikage then briefly talked about the ability Sakurajima Mai awakened: "In a sense, the abilities of you two are still somewhat similar."
"It's just that her ability is more direct, able to make everyone forget her existence. No matter what she does, no one will notice her. This ability can even act directly on the internet, so that anyone affected will not see any content related to her online, no matter what."
His gaze fell on Kato Megumi again: "As for Megumi, I don't know if the Stand you awaken will be related to your constitution, but a Stand is a manifestation of human inner consciousness. Your thoughts will all be fed back to the unformed Stand on you."
This could also be considered an attempt by Miyauchi Hikage, instilling this concept of "restraining one's own consciousness to obtain a greater and stronger Stand ability" into someone who was in the process of awakening a Stand.
Although no one had done this in the original work, Miyauchi Hikage felt the probability of success wasn't small.
DIO had only awakened a Stand for a few years before he directly started researching ways to reach Heaven, and eventually really came up with a bunch of secret words and flashy rituals.
And what was the result?
Enrico Pucci really succeeded in evolving his Stand several times relying on these secret words, growing little by little from Whitesnake at the beginning to Made in Heaven in the end.
One certainly can't say DIO's secret words and rituals were useless, but Enrico Pucci's own willpower obviously played a very important role in this as well.
It was due to multiple reasons combined with the influence of fate that led to the final ending of JOJO Part 6.
Miyauchi Hikage had no intention of hiding it from Kato Megumi either. He stated his thoughts, and under the circumstance that Kato Megumi herself had no objections, asked her to ponder in her heart what she truly needed inwardly.
If she really awakened some overpowered Stand ability, it would naturally be a good thing, and would also allow him to make some preparations in advance for his family's awakening later.
Even if she didn't awaken any excellent Stand, or even awakened a negative Stand, Miyauchi Hikage could also use the hodgepodge of sealing arts he learned from the diary, Jujutsu High, and Tohru to find a way to seal her Stand. It definitely wouldn't affect Kato Megumi's daily life.
"I understand, I will try my best." Although Kato Megumi lacked motivation most of the time and seemed indifferent to everything.
But now that Miyauchi Hikage hoped she could help, it wasn't impossible for her to try a little harder.
After all, having been accustomed to being subconsciously forgotten by her friends and even family members since childhood, encountering the Miyauchi siblings, who seemed to have never ignored her, was already something that made her quite happy.
For the sake of her friends, Kato Megumi's mentality was still quite positive.
"But don't force yourself. The awakening of a Stand is inherently a test of a person's mental willpower. The stronger the Stand, the greater the impact on your body during awakening naturally. You already have signs of a low-grade fever now. It's only because of the effects of Hamon breathing that you can still maintain a normal state."
Miyauchi Hikage said this, and then briefly instructed Kato Megumi on some breathing rhythms of Hamon.
For this, he pondered for a moment, raised his hand slightly, and Projection Magecraft activated silently.
In just a few seconds, a specially made mask appeared in his hand.
"This is a specially made breathing mask. Wearing it can increase the speed of mastering specific Hamon breathing methods. The breathing method adapted in this mask is something I prepared in advance specifically for your situation. You can try it."
Miyauchi Hikage's usage of Unlimited Blade Works was becoming increasingly proficient now. Although this thing only existed as knowledge in his mind, and he had never truly seen its real appearance.
But because he understood Hamon breathing and the composition of this mask well enough, he could freely use the materials it could project, forge and transform them into the shape he wanted in his mind, and then directly project it in one step.
Of course, this only applied to items with simple procedures and no special powers.
But for those magical weapons and Cursed Tools, or even Noble Phantasms extorted from Heroic Spirits, these were things Miyauchi Hikage couldn't completely project in his mind all at once.
Forging them required consuming and attaching more magical energy, and also required Miyauchi Hikage to invest more of his own effort into them.
For this reason, Miyauchi Hikage even specially opened up a forging workshop for himself within Unlimited Blade Works, to facilitate his blacksmithing inside it.
So right now, there really were quite a few messy sundries added inside his Unlimited Blade Works.
Like trying to modify Caliburn and Excalibur into arrows to use as consumables for Broken Phantasm, or modifying things that weren't swords into the shape of swords, which could both increase power and reduce some unnecessary consumption during projection.
The work of drastically modifying Caliburn into an arrow was going relatively smoothly, and it was estimated to be completed before long.
It was just a pity that the process of modifying Gae Bolg into a sword was somewhat tricky. Basically, just slightly modifying the projected Gae Bolg would cause it to lose its ability to reverse causality and forcefully hit the target.
But as Miyauchi Hikage gradually figured out the principles of Domain Expansion, the development work of a multi-functional Unlimited Blade Works with a guaranteed-hit Domain effect was already proceeding quite smoothly, so Miyauchi Hikage wasn't too bothered about this Gae Bolg sword either.
Seeing Miyauchi Hikage casually taking things out, Miyauchi Hikari let out an envious and stubborn "Tch".
She knew her brother carried a magical space with an exceptionally expanded space, which could also be considered a specialized storage item.
Obviously, she had already tried to pester Miyauchi Hikage over these days, stating that she also wanted such a convenient item.
That way, she wouldn't have to carry so much shooting equipment and props around all day to compete with people for news.
It was just a pity that although this thing was in use now, there was only one in Miyauchi Hikage's hands and one in Jerry's hands. He himself didn't have extra materials to make new ones, and could only wait until later to figure out a way to get suitable materials in the other world on Tohru's side before making them.
In the end, Miyauchi Hikage could only stuff an advanced version of the breathing mask to Miyauchi Hikari, who liked to slack off, and also reminded her that this thing would take at least an hour to unlock after putting it on.
After all, he had previously forcibly adjusted Miyauchi Hikari's subconscious breathing rhythm for a month using his own Hamon, allowing Miyauchi Hikari to practice while "AFK" for a month.
But who would have thought that a month wasn't enough for Miyauchi Hikari to develop the habit of maintaining Hamon breathing. After losing the AFK cheat, Miyauchi Hikari's progress began to visibly slow down a lot.
With his current Hamon strength, he could of course keep giving his sister "refills" like this.
But since there was this thing to prank his sister with, he didn't mind using this method to slightly force his sister, making her mature a little.
As for Kato Megumi's side, using this mask could better allow her to concentrate on Hamon breathing. So compared to directly using a cheat, this mask was more suitable for her current self.
And after giving out the second one, Miyauchi Hikage glanced at Eriri, who was staring at him somewhat eagerly.
Under the other party's somewhat expectant gaze, Miyauchi Hikage finally gave Eriri an entry-level Hamon mask, leaving the rest for Eriri to figure out herself.
After doing all this, looking at Kato Megumi who had put on the breathing mask, Miyauchi Hikage focused his perspective on her, continuing to observe the changes in her body.
