Stand users live in an invisible world. Sometimes this world can peek into the world of normal humans, but more often than not regular humans can't see the world of Stands. However, just because a person has a Stand, doesn't mean they can see everything in the world. A serial killer has been hiding in Morioh for the last fifteen years, committing crime after crime without ever leaving a hint of his presence. With no evidence to go on, even the six Stand users living in Morioh who have chosen to work together are unsure how to proceed.

But right now Josuke was having other interests. After his father Joseph paid him back for the purchases for the baby, who's parents still hadn't been found, Pinkie was coaching him on how not to overspend. This let Josuke breath a sigh of relief since he was able to save the money for a new pair of shoes he had his eye on. 'Thank goodness for a girl like Pinkie. Otherwise I'd probably be broke right now.' As he thought this, he heard a rustling noise under the banking machine he was near.

When a cockroach came out, he paid it no mind. But then a tiny bee-like humanoid appeared from beneath the machine, carrying a one-yen coin. "Is that... A Stand?" The Stand blew the lint and dust off the coin, then tossed it into a container in its head and ran off. "Come to think of it," Josuke said, "We never found all the Stand users Keicho created. This must a new one." He ran out to follow the Stand, only to see Okuyasu following a similar Stand. Pinkie was nearby, doing the same. "Pinkie, Okuyasu."

"Oh, Josuke," Okuyasu said, "I saw that little critter in the bushes nearby grabbing loose change. Now I may not be smart, but I know a Stand when I see one." "I found that third one near the vending machines picking up dropped change," Pinkie said, "It's pretty weak, so I'm guessing it's remote-controlled, and since there's more than one it's likely a swarmer." "Well let's follow them," Josuke said, "They'll probably lead us back to the Stand user." As the followed, they found more of the Stand's bodies showing up, each with a coin in its head.

"Just how many are there?," Okuyasu said, "I think they've already outnumbered Bro's Stand." The Stand gathered under a large tree, and the trio hid in a nearby bush. The Stand ejected all the coins and gathered them into a pile. Nearby, they saw a teenage kid who looked just a couple years younger than them, and looked even shorter than Koichi. His head somehow looked like there were spikes on it. Okuyasu and Josuke looked at Pinkie. "Don't look at me, I never met this kid," she said, "I do know who he is though. That's Shigekiyo Yangu. So he's a Stand user too."

Shigekiyo did seem to be speaking with the Stand. "Good job, you guys. The grains of sand make the desert, as they say. That's five thousand yen total." He chuckled happily, as the trio looked surprised. "Can he really get away with gathering up all those coins?," Okuyasu asked. "Sure," Josuke said, "By law, anything dropped that's less than a hundred yen is legal for anyone to pick up without being charged for theft." Okuyasu looked at him. "My grandfather was in the police, remember?," Josuke reminded him.

Shigekiyo smiled as he held one of the Stand in his hands. "With your help, Harvest, I'll never have to worry about running out of money. People drop small change in this town all the time. I'm so glad that arrow hit me, now I have you to help me from now until I'm finally old enough to get my own job." He then heard the trio in the bushes and came over. "Hi there!" "Uh... Hi," Josuke said. "You guys can see it, right?," Shigekiyo asked, "My Harvest, that is. I kinda overheard ya over here."

"Oh yeah," Pinkie said, and the three of them revealed their own Stands. "No way!," Shigekiyo said, "This is the first time someone else has been able to see Harvest. I had no idea other people had these things as well." "You're Shigekiyo, right?," Pinkie said. "Yeah, but my folks call me Shigechi," Shigechi said. "So you call your Stand Harvest, right?," Josuke asked. "Is that what its called?," Shigechi said, "This is my first time seeing others like me. I called it Harvest because of its ability to gather tiny things in one place."

He pointed to the pile of coins. "Like these. A nice police officer told me if I found any item worth less than a hundred yen, I was free to keep it legally. So I started sending Harvest out across Morioh to gather loose change. They find them everywhere, under vending machines, in sewer drains... People lose spare change all the time and never notice." "That's pretty ingenious," Josuke admitted, "And a bit admirable that you're putting that money back in circulation."

"Ah, you really think so?," Shigechi said, "I already knew it was a genius idea, but I never thought of it as admirable." "How many of these little guys are there?," Okuyasu asked. "I think there's around five hundred in total," Shigechi replied, "They tend to bring back an average of five thousand yen total per day. I only send them out once a day, you see, or else it wouldn't be long before the town ran out of spare change to pick up." "You said you got hit by an arrow," Pinkie said, "So did I actually."

Shigechi got surprised. "Them too?" "No, they more or less inherited their Stands through bloodlines," Pinkie noted, "So when did you get hit?" "Last February," Shigechi explained, "Since then I've gathered 120,000 yen in total. And I've learned a lot of other things about Harvest." "All in Morioh!?," Josuke said in shock. Shigechi nodded. "Uh-huh. I never leave here because I don't like getting lost and I'd hate to get kidnapped." "Hey, I just had an idea," Okuyasu said, "We can maybe have Shigechi help us out. If his Stand can spread throughout Morioh to gather change, maybe they also find information about that mystery killer."

Shigechi gasped. "A killer? Here is Morioh...?" "Can you see through your Stand?," Josuke asked. "Sure, if I focus," Shigechi said, "But it's like looking at a bank of security monitors, I can't see through them all at once. If there's a killer here, I'm sure Harvest can find him." "That's perfect!," Pinkie said, "And even if the killer is a Stand user, Harvest may just escape notice since its so small!" Shigechi smiled. "So... You really think I can be off help?"

"Definitely," Josuke said, "And you seem like a nice guy. Honestly, we get nervous every time we hear about a new Stand user, but you haven't been antagonistic at all." Shigechi chuckled. He then thought. "If I could I'd like to help out by gathering more money for our cause, but pocket change can only take us so far." Josuke rubbed his chin, then snapped his fingers. "I think I got an idea." He explained a system of gathering torn store coupons that could be exchanged for cash, using Crazy Diamond to restore them like new. "Most people ignore those types of paper scraps!," Okuyasu noted, "If we use Harvest to take advantage of that, we could gather tens of thousands worth of yen!"

The plan worked out perfectly, with a total of sixty-five thousand yen gathered from the venture. "There were some technicalities that actually got us a lot more money than I expected," Josuke noted, "Turns out some of the coupons were so old they were actually more valuable." Shigechi was amazed at seeing actual paper money, but a look from Pinkie made him behave. "Don't forget it wasn't just Harvest that made this possible," Pinkie reminded him, "Most of those coupons would be useless without Crazy Diamond." "What are you doing?," Josuke asked Okuyasu said as he looked through the paper scraps.

"I saw a lotto ticket in here and I wanna see if someone threw out a winning ticket without thinking," Okuyasu explained. "Even if you find one," Pinkie said, "You'd never be able to cash it in because of the wrong name on the endorsement. Those things are tracked, you know." "Ah man...," Okuyasu said, "This one I just found is worth five million yen at the SG Group." "Yeah, but look on the back," Pinkie said, "That's someone else's name and phone number. We try to turn that in and it'll send off warning bells at the bank." She then got an idea. "Unless we use Crazy Diamond to rearrange the letters and numbers!" "Pinkie that sounds amazing!," Shigechi said.

It was tense, but ultimately the cocky bank clerk wasn't able to prove they hadn't stolen the ticket and was forced to let them leave with the prize. However, that's when Shigechi decided to do something stupid. He grabbed the check for himself, then offered so-called "pity-money" to the trio for what he called their meager efforts. "That's it...," Pinkie said, and she snapped her fingers. Shigechi got surprised by a giant anvil falling flat on his head. "You don't betray your friends on a whim, Shigechi!," Pinkie said, "We agreed to share and share alike on this! We even Pinkie Promised! Nobody breaks a Pinkie Promise!"

Shigechi got up. "Don't think... I'm just a weak nobody..." Okuyasu grimaced as one of Harvest's bodies punched him in the ear, taking a chunk out of it. Then it grabbed the check and ran for it. "I'm the reason you were able to gather this money," Shigechi said, "So I should get more of it!" His eyes turned dark. "Come any closer... And I'll kill you..." Okuyasu growled. "Just try it! One little scratch to my ear and you think you have us!? We've fought way stronger Stands than yours!"

Shigechi smirked, and Okuyasu suddenly found himself tripping to the ground. "The hell!?" He pulled up his pant leg to reveal more of Harvests bodies scratching and biting at his legs, digging into the flesh. "Smile!," Pinkie called out, casting out her toon world. Smile then brought out a large industrial fan that blew away the Stand bodies. Shigechi quickly started running for it. "He'll never get far with that stout little body," Okuyasu noted. "And there's also the banana peel," Pinkie said with a giggle.

Shigechi then fell over. "Ha," Josuke said, "He hit it!" "Uh, no he didn't," Pinkie clarified, "That looked like too normal a fall." Sure enough, Shigechi had actually laid down to let Harvest pick him up and start running with him, a grin on his face as they ran around the banana peel Pinkie set up. The zoomed away and up a nearby wall. "Great, it's like tank treads," Josuke said. Shigechi chuckled as he got to the top. He kept running when he reached the roof, only turning back when he thought he heard a slide whistle sound. It was the trio flying up to the roof using umbrellas.

"Good thinking, Pinkie," Josuke said, "Smile's toon world makes it easier to scale buildings." They followed Shigechi over some industrial pipes between the roofs, but Shigechi already had Harvest remove the nuts holding it together. "Nuts...," Okuyasu commented. Shigechi chuckled as they started falling. "You guys were so focused on all the other stuff I can do with Harvest, you forgot its basic ability." He then gasped as the nuts flew right of Harvest's hands.

Pinkie, Josuke, and Okuyasu flew up with the pipes as Crazy Diamond repaired them. "And you must have forgotten that Crazy Diamond levitates what it repairs," Josuke pointed out. Pinkie then pulled out a special "Harvest Magnet". "Guys, look out!" Suddenly, she started to feel extremely woozy. "Pinkie! What happened!?," Okuyasu asked. "Booze...," Pinkie said, "Tiny needles... Promise-breaker's fault..." "The hell...?," Josuke said.

"I was planning on getting all three of ya," Shigechi admitted, "See, I grabbed some alcohol while running through the shopping district. I then sent Harvest to inject it into ya." Pinkie got up, and pulled one Harvest's bodies off her with some oversized tweezers. "You little culo brain... Don't you know not even booze can keep a cartoon character down..." "What's a culo?," Shigechi asked. "IT MEANS ASS!," Pinkie yelled, her head getting bigger and her voice sounding like it came from a megaphone, "But that's not important... What's important is that my ACME Harvest Magnet can keep your little busy bees away from Josuke and Okuyasu."

Shigechi looked confused. "A... Harvest Magnet?" "Patent pending," Pinkie said, "You probably thought our powers were lame because we weren't using them to fight, but we've fought and beaten opponents with way tougher powers just using our wits alone. You haven't even noticed, that drawing in all your Stand's bodies... Has gotten you just a little closer to us." Shigechi gasped when he realized he had indeed been dragged closer. "That's the power of my toon world, created by Smile," Pinkie said, "Logic and reason doesn't have to apply. If I need a magnet that can draw in your Stand, I can get it."

"And now," Okuyasu said, "You're right in The Hand's range!" The Hand scrapped at the space between them and Shigechi, causing the check to fly into Okuyasu's hand. Shigechi growled. "You think you can just take the check back when I have your surrounded!?" "Kinda," Josuke said, "Especially since I can do this." He immediately ripped the check in half. Shigechi watched in horror as Josuke continued to rip the check to shreds. "What the hell are you doing!? Inconceivable!"

"What, are you gonna kill us now?," Josuke said smugly, "Don't forget if you do, you lose the one person who can repair the check." Shigechi stopped. "Oh... Yeah, that's conceivable." "And this," Josuke said, as he tossed the scraps into the air, "Cements your loss!" Shigechi freaked out. "What have you done!? Harvest! Go gather it quick! Why would you do that!? Inconceivable!" As Harvest ran off to gather the pieces, Shigechi realized Pinkie was right behind him.

"You keep using that word," Pinkie said, for some reason taking on a Spanish accent, "I do not think it means what you think it means." She then switched back to normal Japanese. "You just sent your Stand out. So now you have a pissed off drunkard and her two male friends to worry about, and nothing to protect you." Shigechi gasped. "Ah... That's conceivable..." He gulped, and Pinkie slammed her foot into his crotch. "That's for breaking a Pinkie Promise! Boys, he's all yours!" Josuke and Okuyasu approached. "Let's make this...," Okuyasu started. "Great!," Josuke finished. Shigechi found himself pummeled by Crazy Diamond and The Hand.

Ultimately Pinkie recovered from her intoxication, and the check was successfully retrieved and restored. Rohan didn't need any of the money, and Koichi declined, so the five million yen was ultimately split evenly between Shigechi, Okuyasu, Pinkie, Yukako, and Josuke. "One million in the bank account," Josuke noted, "Most high school kids never see that kinda money." Shigechi apologized for his awful behavior, and started sending Harvest out to see if any clue to the mysterious killer's identity could be found. It turned out he wouldn't have to search long.

Hope you like the shout-out I snuck in there, and enjoyed drunk Pinkie. Things come to a head next chapter.
