As Yukino raised this point, the surrounding girls instantly stared at the shadow on the ground with scrutinizing gazes.
Indeed, up until now, although the shadow on the ground had been constantly making provocative gestures, it had completely not left the one-meter radius around it.
"Is it that when appearing in shadow form, she cannot move freely, or does she need some special medium to move?"
Kaguya stared at the shadow on the ground, but if the other party really couldn't move automatically...
"You guys step back a bit first, let me see what's going on with this shadow."
Her Psychokinesis acted directly on the ground. Accompanying a heavy exhale, she instantly exerted her Psychokinesis to the highest degree.
Fubuki's Psychokinesis indeed had a limit at the Grade 1 level, but going all out, forcibly lifting a ten-square-meter piece of land from the ground was still no problem.
And Hitori's shadow also indeed seemed to be restricted to this piece of land. Even though the land she was attached to had been lifted several meters into the air, she didn't make any means of resistance.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't this a bit exaggerated? We can feel the ground shaking over here." Hikari, sitting not far away, looked at Kaguya floating in mid-air, virtually holding up a large piece of land with both hands like a god, and couldn't help but mutter to her brother in a low voice, "Can you do this kind of thing too?"
It had to be said, the visual impact of Kaguya's operation was indeed quite high.
Hikage reminded his sister with a look, telling her not to act so sneaky.
"The nature of our abilities is different. The supernatural power she possesses is Psychokinesis, which can be considered her most adept attack method. I don't have an ability similar to Psychokinesis, so naturally I can't reach this level."
"That's true, Hikage. Although your ability is indeed quite mysterious, they all seem to be passive abilities. It's fine for being a hidden mastermind, but it's not surprising that you can't create this kind of scene."
For Hikari, she indeed preferred this more direct type of superpower.
Hikage thought about his Unlimited Blade Works and the dragon-slaying holy sword hidden in his head that could directly destroy a city when fully released.
"It is indeed a bit regrettable. I'll find a way to make my ability look more expressive in the future. But it's probably a bit difficult, so I should just think carefully about whether I can awaken a particularly powerful Stand."
Hikari also nodded seriously: "After you awaken, help me awaken a Stand too. With the bond between us siblings, we can definitely awaken a particularly powerful ability. At that time, you'll be responsible for scheming, and I'll stand in front of you to draw fire."
Hikage replied with a smile: "Of course, then I can let others say my twin sister is invincible in the world."
Eriri, sitting on the other side, looked at Hikari's intoxicated posture already lost in her imagination. She felt that Hikage was probably just simply teasing Hikari, but she had no proof.
In comparison, she was more concerned about whether things over there were over.
As the only ordinary person at the scene who could still remain clear-headed, she felt like sitting on pins and needles every second she sat here.
Seemingly seeing through Eriri's inner emotions, Hikage gently reminded her: "Relax a bit, no need to be too nervous. With me here, you won't encounter any danger."
"Moreover, you are Mashiro and Utaha-senpai's friend, and you yourself have pretty good supernatural talent. You will definitely continue to come into contact with these things in the future."
Eriri nodded towards Hikage somewhat embarrassedly.
"I was just wondering... are they about to finish here?"
Hikage frankly shook his head: "This has only just begun. Her Stand ability hasn't even been fully activated yet, and even the way she is now is just deliberately showing weakness."
Hikage couldn't see the true ability of Hitori's Stand, but the Eye of Destiny allowed him to roughly sense that it wouldn't be that easy for the girls at the scene to subdue Hitori.
So, Hitori's Stand obviously still had some hidden ability it hadn't used, and it must be an ability that would make it very tricky for these girls to deal with.
On Kaguya's side, after finishing all this, fine sweat also slightly broke out on her forehead.
Fortunately, the hardest step was already done. The rest was just maintaining the output of Psychokinesis, keeping this piece of land floating above the ground.
With the assistance of the Hamon breathing method, she could at least maintain this state for about half an hour.
"We'd better hurry and bring Bocchi over. Once she's here, she should be able to take her shadow back."
But in the next moment, those passersby sitting in the cafe, including the cafe clerks, suddenly stood up somewhat stiffly and walked towards the girls' location.
"These passersby have indeed all been controlled by Bocchi's Stand. They are probably going to attack us, so I'll trouble you guys to subdue these ordinary people."
"Be careful not to hurt these ordinary people."
As Kaguya finished speaking, Utaha had already started using her water magic to hinder those controlled people.
Besides that, the web-shooters could similarly serve a hindering purpose.
Due to the diary's rewards and the materials Kaguya helped gather, after these days of research, Ai had successfully replicated the spider silk of the Spider-Man suit.
Aside from adding a defense and offense method for the Cat's Eye three sisters, Ai also gifted web-shooters to many girls she was familiar with.
It was quite suitable to use at this time.
After all, the biggest feature of this spider silk was that it was extremely tough when just shot out, able to withstand several tons of pressure, yet wouldn't harm ordinary people.
At the same time, a few hours after being shot out, it would self-dissolve, causing no environmental pollution. It was considered a quite black technology material.
Hikage and the others, acting as "passersby", had just pretentiously stood up when they received the treatment of being tied up by spider silk.
Of course, under Hikage's control, it still left the few of them in a relatively comfortable posture, and wouldn't affect their line of sight to watch the scene.
"I saw this thing in Mashiro's room, so this is how it's used?" Hikari comfortably rested her head on Megumi's shoulder, seemingly remembering something, "Oh right, wasn't there a news report recently saying that the Phantom Thief Cat's Eye recently used this special silk thread to assist in theft at a crime scene. Did you guys pilfer this from Cat's Eye?"
"Is there a possibility that on the day we took the bus to Morioh Town, you had already met Cat's Eye in person on the bus?"
"Eh, really? Why didn't I notice it at all?"
Eriri weakly answered on the side: "It should be those three Kisugi misses, right. When they introduced themselves, they mentioned that the cafe they run is called Cat's Eye."
"I thought they were Cat's Eye fans, turns out they are the real Cat's Eye. Then after we go back, I'll have to find them for an autograph... By the way, do you think Cat's Eye and the others know Kaito Kid? Everyone is in the same phantom thief trade, they should more or less have some private connections, right. I wonder if we can use their connections to conveniently meet Kaito Kid. Maybe I can even become the first reporter to interview Kaito Kid."
"..." Hikage was silent for a while before saying to his sister, "No need for such trouble. If you want to meet Kaito Kid, after we return to Tokyo, I can directly take you to his house without any problem. For now, just talk a little less."
After Hikari settled down here, the girls at the scene had almost controlled everyone else as well.
"Even though they are restrained, they still seem to be struggling constantly. I don't know when they'll recover." Utaha approached and frowned as she looked at the stiff expressions on those people's faces.
"But they are just some ordinary people after all. Even if Bocchi's Stand wants to use these people as hostages, it won't pose any threat to us, right? What exactly is she trying to do?"
A few other girls also approached to check the situation of these ordinary people.
"Could it be a dying struggle?" Umaru swung the mahjong tile in her hand and reached out to poke the controlled person in front of her.
But Yukino on the side always had an inexplicable sense of worry, seemingly feeling that something was wrong with all this.
"No, something is very wrong..."
As the girls' sight fell on her, Yukino looked at Shadow Hitori restricted in mid-air.
"If Bocchi's Stand can control these people from a distance, then why hasn't she tried to control us from beginning to end? Even if she can't control us due to the diary's assistance, we should at least receive a warning from the diary."
But from beginning to end, the diary hadn't sent any warnings.
Umaru on the side waved her hand with a relaxed tone: "Regarding this, I think it's because as Bocchi's Stand, she, like us, is under the restriction of not being able to attack girls who hold diaries."
Girls who obtained the diaries in the same batch had a suppression against harming each other. However, this restriction was relatively idealistic; as long as one didn't harbor emotions of wanting to harm the other party, normal sparring was fine.
Even accidentally causing minor injuries during sparring was still within the diary's permitted range.
But as Umaru said such words, Kaguya's face on the side couldn't help but look somewhat bad.
Although she indeed never had the thought of wanting to harm Hitori, the idea of using violent means to control Hitori's Stand had arisen in her heart.
Normally, doing this shouldn't be allowed either.
If what Umaru said was true, she should have received a reminder from the diary on her end as well.
But until now, she hadn't felt any restrictions on herself.
In other words, either Hitori's current Stand wasn't considered a part of Hitori.
Or in the diary's judgment, they hadn't caused any restrictions to Hitori's Stand at all.
But connecting it with earlier when Bocchi's Stand obviously showed that she could hear those words related to the diary, it represented she indeed belonged as a part of Hitori, and wouldn't be shielded by the diary's power like other people.
That is to say, the latter was the real truth.
Hitori's Stand had probably already secretly tried using her ability to control them when they first appeared.
Just because such behavior violated the diary's restrictions, she couldn't attack them, so she could only give up this plan and put on this appearance of being controlled by them.
Then, exactly why did the other party do this?
Thinking of this, Kaguya hurriedly wanted to speak this point out. However, at the moment she wanted to say it, she felt some kind of change occur in her body.
This feeling was as if she herself was no longer complete.
It was still Yukino on the side, under the Byakugan's perspective, who first realized the change on her body and hurriedly warned her.
"Kaguya, your shadow!"
Kaguya looked down, and then saw a special kind of distortion appear in her own shadow.
She hurriedly stepped back a few paces.
But her shadow didn't follow her. Instead, within a few seconds, it gradually began to become three-dimensional, and finally directly generated a Shadow Kaguya in front of everyone, identical in appearance and attire to Kaguya, just with a darker color!
"This... this is my shadow." As Kaguya realized this point, the Kaguya in front of her also waved at her.
"Hello there, my main body. I am your shadow," Shadow Kaguya politely greeted her main body.
"What do you want to do to my shadow?" Kaguya looked at her shadow, while also issuing a question to Bocchi's Stand.
Following Kaguya's question, Shadow Hitori also reverted to human form.
She lay on the edge of the floating piece of land, looked at the exceptionally nervous Kaguya, and revealed a smile of unclear meaning towards her: "Rest assured, I didn't do anything to your shadow. After all, we inherently cannot harm each other. Even I cannot give your shadow any commands detrimental to you."
"So, just have a good chat with your own shadow."
After saying this, Shadow Hitori turned back into a shadow.
Only this time, she extended all the way down along the shadow, reaching under Shadow Kaguya's feet and becoming her shadow.
Shadow Kaguya also looked at her feet in some amazement: "Even a shadow like me can get a shadow? Stand abilities are truly magical!"
Kaguya looked at her empty feet, and then looked at her own shadow in front of her.
At this moment, her shadow instead seemed more like a real human than she did.
