It was another morning. Dorothy went downstairs yawning and saw Alfu busy at work. Dorothy said good morning to Alfu.

"Good morning, Miss Dorothy."

"Mr. Wayne and Tim are not here?" Dorothy asked Alfu while eating bread.

"The master should still be resting. Master Tim has already gotten up and gone to school." Alfu carefully added a quilt of milk to Dorothy.

"You've worked so hard." Dorothy nodded after hearing what Alfu said, then looked out the window. Today was one of the few sunny days in Gotham, and the leaves on the trees in the courtyard were still dripping with morning dew.

"Miss Dorothy, I want to ask you something." Alfu looked at the absent-minded girl in front of him and suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Dorothy turned her head and looked at Alfu.

"What do you think of Master Bruce?" Dorothy looked at Alfu. There was no emotion in his eyes, and they even seemed a little indifferent. It seemed like this question was asked casually.

"I don't know." Dorothy shook her head and turned her head to continue looking out the window. "I know I may have disturbed this family, but this is not my choice..."

The question of whether Dorothy should stay or go is a headache for Bruce. After all, she is weak and cannot adapt to Gotham. But it was he who decided to bring her back, so he must handle her affairs properly.

Of course, this relationship with Bruce is naturally the most uncomfortable thing for Dorothy. This kind of bond called kinship is the most difficult to deal with.

"He is my father, I have to admit that, because my mother... has told me the same thing since I was a child, but I never felt that a father was necessary in my life." The same goes for my mother.

"But I'm grateful to Mr. Wayne for adopting me."

So be it. After all, Dorothy has no interest in playing house with Bruce.

Stop here.

After breakfast, Dorothy said she wanted to take a walk in the garden. After Alfu's repeated warnings, Dorothy only went to the greenhouse closest to the mansion.

"Did the kid really say that?" Bruce was a little surprised. He thought Dorothy would be a little "unreasonable", like not letting her leave, or having some emotional or material demands.

"Miss Dorothy is just a child, a poor girl who lost her mother, was seriously injured under the protection of her father whom she had only met a few times, and was even targeted by unknown people." Alfu's words pierced Bruce's heart like a sharp arrow.

Bruce suddenly reflected on whether he was really that extreme.

But if this little bit of excess is just to ensure Dorothy's safety, then it should be... nothing, right?

No ghost! Oh, no, he started to think about random things again.

Dick was right before, he still couldn't treat Dorothy as his own daughter for the time being.

Sitting on the chair in the glass greenhouse, Dorothy looked at the blooming and beautiful flowers, then raised her head to look at the blue sky.

"Good morning, Dorothy." A voice suddenly appeared behind Dorothy.

"Good morning." Dorothy raised her head and Akutagawa's face appeared in front of her.

Regarding last night, those tasks that were not considered as tasks of clearing cursed spirits were also settled after the last cursed spirit was eliminated, and the settlement rewards obtained were also very strange.

[Non-Sukuna's fingers]

That's what the mission reward says, and it also has notes.

"It can neutralize the pain caused by all the Ryomen Sukuna's fingers in Yuji Itadori's body and prevent Ryomen Sukuna from causing any harm to the host, making it easier for the host to use the vest."

How can this broken system have any conscience?

"How are they?" Dorothy turned her head to look at Akutagawa, but he seemed to be still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, so Dorothy quickly used the system to change Akutagawa into a new set of clothes.

"Still alive." Akutagawa said simply and clearly, "What happened to you yesterday?"

"It must be the system mechanism that allowed me to meet the guy inside Yuji's body." Dorothy pulled Akutagawa's sleeve and motioned him to sit next to her.

Akutagawa did not resist and sat down expressionlessly. Dorothy then lay on his legs. Dorothy could feel that Akutagawa's body obviously stiffened for a moment, but soon relaxed.

Dorothy sensed something, but she didn't say it.

"Yesterday, I beat up that man called Green Lantern. It won't affect your plan, right?" Akutagawa looked straight ahead and suddenly recalled what happened last night and asked Dorothy.

"Oh, it's okay, don't worry about it." Akutagawa's stage is not Gotham. He appears in Gotham now simply because Dorothy is still in Gotham.

"By the way, you heard what they talked about yesterday." Because of Dorothy's contact with Akutagawa, she shared what happened from his perspective after she left Akutagawa.

"Well, two things. One is about that energy channel, and the other is about the man who captured the human-tiger and sold it to Hydra." Akutagawa lowered his head and met Dorothy's eyes, but he looked away first.

"If nothing unexpected happens, these two things will be related to the system task. However, if the system task conflicts with what I want to do, what do you think I should do?"

Akutagawa finally discovered something wrong after listening to Dorothy's words. When he looked at Dorothy again, he suddenly felt a pressure, a strange sense of oppression.

Fear? No, no, no, impossible. How could he be afraid?

"You just need to do what you think you want to do, and we will all be at your service," Akutagawa said after a long time.

"Pfft." Dorothy laughed, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere. Akutagawa also came back to his senses. He looked at Dorothy seriously, but at this time Dorothy sat up with a relaxed look on her face.

"I will remember what you said today. Next, you should complete the tasks I asked you to do before and train those guys. I should also look forward to when my butler will come online." Dorothy stood up, took two steps forward, turned around and looked at Akutagawa and said.

"I... understand." This strange feeling, has something happened to Dorothy?

The day goes on as usual.

Gotham Airport——

"William, are you there yet?" A male voice with a pure English accent came from the phone. The young man picked up the phone and listened to the words on the other end.

"Well, I just got off the plane, teacher, it's four o'clock in the afternoon, US time." The young man looked at his watch, then took a bag and went to the baggage area to wait for his luggage.

"You should have understood what I have explained to you. This job was requested by the current employer of an old friend of mine. You had good grades in school, so I recommended you to him." The man on the other end of the phone continued.

"This is your first job out of school. I look forward to hearing good news from you, William."

"Thank you, teacher. I will be responsible for it." The young man replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, the young man looked at the black electronic watch on his right wrist, reached out to adjust some data, then he put his hand down, took the suitcase that happened to be in front of him, and left Gotham Airport.

-

Inside the safe house, Xiao Jia was talking on the phone with Dorothy.

"Dorothy, say it again, who's here?" Xiaojia held the game console in one hand and supported the phone on his shoulder while talking on the phone to Dorothy.

"My butler." Dorothy was not idle either. She was talking on the phone using headphones and operating the data on the computer.

"No, no, tell me again who is coming? Name, name!" Xiaojia's voice became a little more anxious.

"Xiao Yi." Dorothy had no intention of teasing him and directly said the name "Xiao Yi".

"WTF!!!! Why! Why!"

"What? No?" Dorothy's tone suddenly dropped, with a strong threat and a sense of shutting up.

"No, ah, this...I..." Xiaojia suddenly became scared.

"I've had Akutagawa and Itadori live in the safe house for a while, and after Xiaoyi comes, I will go to the safe house in person before leaving Gotham. If you haven't grown up by then, do you know the consequences of me taking your brother there? Dear Xiaojia." After Dorothy used a new gray vest card, she actually discovered a new function: "Confirm relationship."

And this Xiao Yi naturally used a card to trip Bruce in order to facilitate Dorothy's movements, but the waiting time was a little longer. After all, you need to be careful when investing in the gray vest card.

Their life stories are randomly assigned by the system after their relationship is confirmed, and after being released into the real world, their manipulation ability will subconsciously change the memories of the people around them. The longer they get along with the vest card, the clearer and deeper their memory will be.

There will be no situations like "I have never seen this person before", "He seems to have appeared suddenly", or "The person's information cannot be found".

They are more like the natives of this world than other vest cards.

Xiaojia was originally called Assassin A because Dorothy needed such a role, and now Dorothy needs a butler, so he is Butler B.

Look, how simple and crude.

Bah, of course that's impossible.

It just so happens that the system assigns occupations with attributes that are more homely.
