A solution or another problem?

Lily looked at me blankly, and then at the man, he seemed familiar to her.

"Who was that, Natsuki?"

I looked over at her and didn't reply. I couldn't let her know. I then pulled out my phone and said: "....Lily, I can't catch a break, I need something to get me to relax. Maybe if I turn you into a stand user, maybe it'll help me get my dad back to life? How do I do this?-"

"...You could try." - She then gave me her hand.

I then heard Monika teleport next to us, saying: "D-Don't.. I don't trust her!"

"She could be a solution!" - I then looked over at Monika, with the arrow in my hand.

Monika tried to get the arrow out of my hand but I saw Lily stab her hand on it, I looked surprised.

"Are you okay? Jeez.. Why did you do that?" - I asked Lily but she stormed outside, looking upset.

*Lily's POV*

"It was supposed to be an act of love.. Why did she have to interfere?!" - Lily thought to herself.

She then looked up and saw her stand.

- ArcheoHistory -

Stand user: Yuri Kunai

Destructive Power: S

Speed: A

Range: C

Durability: S

Precision: A

Development Potential: S

Ability: Gains knowledge of history by digging on the ground and uses it as a way to trap and/or attack enemies.

She then saw it start digging the ground, Lily also started digging next to it. She started feeling information flow into her brain as she dug more holes in my front yard. She closed her eyes and ArcheoHistory faded into Lily's body again.

*Natsuki's POV*

"What is she doing to the front yard-? Wh-" - I then looked over at her stand.

Monika looked at Lily and then looked at me, asking: "Why did you let her have a stand?"

"I told you before, didn't I? She could be the solution."

"Solution for what? Your father's death?! He's not coming back, Natsuki, I don't have his file! If even I can't save him, what makes you think you can..?" - She turned away, opening her keyboard, looking through the files.

".....Get out." - My eyes flashed red as I turned to her.

"W-What do you mean?" - She locked eye contact with me, surprised.

"I mean: "Get. OUT!" Are you deaf? You're supposed to be on my side."

"Not when you speak like someone who's out of their mind..!"

"Out." - I pointed at the front door.

Monika then walked out of the house and Lily walked back in. She looked over at me and saw my eyes flashing red and hugged me. She didn't speak a word but I took a deep breath and calmed down, which then resulted into me tearing up.

"Monika's right, maybe he's not coming back.. Fuck, I just wanna die right now, I can't handle a world without him being here with me. I- I JUST CAN'T.. I.. W-What should I do?.."

"You're not just stressed because of that, are you?" - Lily asked me, still holding me.

"....How do you know?"

"My stand ability.. When I dug some holes in the ground along with my stand, it let me access information about you and what happened here at this house. I only dug a bit though, but I know that you're hiding something."

"...I'm stressed about a lot of things.. Including Killer.Chr, who is disguised as Seth."

"...You just confirmed my theory."

"I have a plan to throw him off. But I need to talk to Sayori about it.." - I said, looking away.

Lily let go of the hug and then said: "While you're at it, I know there's something that happened at Monika's place. I'm going to investigate further.. When I get back, tell me about it." - She gave me a blank stare but a little smile.

Both of us went down the neighborhood, she stopped by Monika's place, I assumed no one was inside. Monika must have gone shopping with Atsui or something. Meanwhile, I went to Sayori's house. I jumped to her balcony and opened her window, saying: "Knock knock!"

"Oh hey, Natsuki! Are you feeling any better..?"

"No time for chit chat.. I need to tell you something important. I know you weren't there to see it but.. I know that Killer.Chr is disguised and monitoring me. He made me put up an act in front of Lily, and she already knows about the situation.. I have a plan to let me have a break from everything and to ALSO throw him off."

"Wait, wait, wait! That is a lot to take in. Okay, so let me get this straight.. Killer.Chr is back.. He is disguised and watching your every move?.. Are we in danger?! Also, a plan?"

I then told her about the plan. Sayori smiled and said: "Yeah.. I'm in."

I smiled and hugged her, saying: "Thank you.. Thank you so much.."

*Lily's POV*

Lily started digging on Monika's front yard, along with ArcheoHistory, information about Monika started going into her brain and she took deep breaths.

"Not enough.."

She then went into Monika's house, opening the living room window and then closing it. ArcheoHistory destroyed the wooden floor and started digging down, Lily sat down next to the hole as more information flooded in.

ArcheoHistory dug further and further, and soon enough stopped, due to the range being limited. As soon as ArcheoHistory stopped in its tracks though, Lily's eyes widened.

"....Oh.. So that's what he meant." - She then stood up and got out of Monika's place, her face as emotionless as ever.
