[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

As twilight fell, there were stars twinkling in the dark night, and a few wisps of thin clouds could not cover the full moon. Obviously, tomorrow would be a fine day again.

Dick and Koto enjoyed a very delicious Texas-style dinner at Sheldon's.

Sheldon's mother was still trying to stay with them, but Anna had already booked a hotel for Xiaojiu, so she drove them to the hotel after seven o'clock.

Before leaving, Sheldon lent Dick the unfinished Superman Monthly and asked him to return it intact tomorrow.

That instruction was so long-winded that Dick almost had to sign an agreement.But in Missy's opinion, this is still unbelievable and terrifying... After all, their elder brother George Jr. can't bring Sheldon's comic books to the bedroom to read.

"Call me if you have anything to do. Our house is very close to here." At the hotel entrance, Mary stuffed the note with her phone number written on it into Xiaojiu's hand.

She always bends down when she talks to them, and her tone is very gentle: "We will pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow for breakfast."

"Thank you, Mary, we will." Xiaojiu stared at the soft facial features of the woman, and brushed the scattered blond hair to her ears for her: "I wish you a good dream when you go back."

Mary Cooper reminded Xiaojiu of her mother.Although one of them is Japanese and the other is American, and they have different personalities and appearances, they all have a gentle heart and are full of care and respect for their children. .

Sheldon often mentioned his mother in his letters. He missed Mary very much. Even though he was in college, he had to go home once a week.After seeing Mary today, Xiaojiu understands Sheldon's nostalgia for his mother even more.

If her mother and father were still there, she would probably be very reluctant to leave Japan.

Mary gave Koto a hug, and Dick another.

Before she left, she told Xiaojiu and Dick not to open the door to strangers, just like a mother telling her children, and they should pay attention to safety and not do that kind of thing. Her words were very tactful, but Dick quickly understood the meaning ——

Although he had explained that they were friends, for some reason beyond his comprehension, they had clearly not listened at all.

Xiaojiu has a face of 'Although I don't understand, but I understand! ' expression.

"May God bless you, you are two good children, thank you for being Shelly's friend." Mary crossed herself.

Xiaojiu and Dick watched her back until she got into the car and waved to them, then drove away before walking into the hotel lobby together.

"Mary reminds me of my mother," Xiaojiu whispered to Dick.

"Me too." Dick took Xiaojiu's hand, just now he also fell into the memory of his mother.

He remembered her calling him 'my little Robin Bird', wrapping him in warm arms, making him marshmallow toast...

Memories about my mother are warm and sour, covered with a layer of mist-like sadness.

He is always busy, dealing with various people, fighting criminals... It has been a long time since he had such a mood, such a quiet memory, although he has never forgotten it.

"You'll be back in Japan soon, will you see your mother? Or will she come to Gotham." Dick shook his head, trying to divert attention and comfort Kobato.

"I think when I go back next year, I can visit her and her father's grave." Xiaojiu got the room card from the front desk, and walked to the elevator with Dick while talking.

The odd raccoon on her shoulder licked her side face lightly.

"...What? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that." Dick's eyes widened in astonishment. They had never talked about family matters before, and neither Xiaojiu nor he took the initiative to bring up related topics.

Thinking about it now, it is also very obvious.

They discussed all kinds of things and talked endlessly, but they never talked about each other's parents and family members. Xiaojiu never only called friends and Anna on the phone.

And if her parents are there, she shouldn't be worried about her coming to the United States alone.

They have many similarities, but in this tragedy, should they be so similar?Dick met Xiaojiu's eyes, as if she felt something, she shook his hand hard.

"It doesn't matter, because we haven't talked about this before." Xiaojiu opened the door with the electronic key card, Qili jumped off her shoulder, and she also took Dick to sit on the bed.

"I do often think that it would be great if they were still alive." Xiaojiu squeezed her sore shoulders, fell back, and lay down on the bed.

She looked at the ceiling, as if she was in a trance and thinking about something important: "But I also know that even if they are not in the same world as me, they are still looking at me and loving me."

The ponytail spread out due to the movement, and Xiaojiu lay on the bed with his muscles relaxed, breathing evenly: "From the day they died, I have always thought this way. I used to be afraid that it was just my own delusion. Fortunately, Senior Anna told me later. , another world exists.”

"As long as there are people in the world who remember them, they won't really die."

Xiaojiu moved his hand, which was a little sore due to the posture problem, changed the direction, and inserted his five fingers into Dick's fingers, changing into a more comfortable interlocking posture under the current state.

"My father and mother always told me to help others, and they also like to help others. I think many people will remember them. It doesn't matter if they forget, at least I will always remember them."

Having said that, Xiaojiu paused for a moment, turned her head to look at Dick, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, there is selfishness in wanting to become a great witch... It is said that if you reach the level of a great witch, you can Go to that world freely."

"I want to see Mom and Dad again." When the car accident happened, she passed out before she could do anything, and it was already the third day when she woke up again.

She was the only survivor in a car accident involving a family of three.

Before she had time to say or do anything, she suddenly couldn't see her favorite father and mother again.

Although I know that they just went to another world, I still feel lonely and want to see each other again.

Dick saw his own reflection in her moist dark brown eyes, and he let go of their clasped hands, stroked her smooth forehead, and wiped away the tears seeping from the corners of her eyes.

"You will become a great witch." The young man who had no concrete idea of ​​a great witch said in a very affirmative tone: "When you become a great witch, take me to that world and let me meet my father and mother again. "

"Dick's parents are also there." Xiaojiu pressed his hand on the back of Dick's hand and sniffed: "Will they become good friends like we became good friends?"

"Maybe they will. They are very good people. Xiaojiu's parents must also be very good people. If they meet together, they will become friends."

Dick also slowly lay down next to Koto, they were so close, so even in the unfamiliar environment of the hotel, they could completely relax their muscles and lie down, making it easier to calm down.

"That's right. Speaking of which, my father is a doctor and my mother is a policeman. Will I continue to be a doctor and a policeman in that world? Sometimes I think about this question."

After Dick lay down, Xiaojiu leaned towards him subconsciously. She always liked to have intimate physical contact with her friends.

"Yes, the other world is probably similar to the current world? But it's not bad to find new hobbies and start a new career."

Xiaojiu’s eyes were still blinking even though they were covered, which made Dick’s palms itch. He had to withdraw his hand, and turned half sideways to meet Xiaojiu’s eyes and continued to speak:

"My mom and dad were trapeze artists and I used to perform with them when I was little, and everyone called us 'Flying Graysons.'"

"You are flying now, still flying Grayson." Xiaojiu said.

"Well, actually Robin is my nickname given to me by my mother, she always calls me Little Robin Bird."

"It's such a good name." Xiaojiu looked into Dick's eyes, his eyes were like the overlapping sky, so beautiful blue, she always felt that Dick's way of swinging through the street was smooth and beautiful, like a bird bird.

"I think so too." Dick smiled slightly. "I think they're flying too. We're all still flying."

When people have a sincere conversation, they always look directly into each other's eyes. Dick suddenly found that they had gotten so close without realizing it, so close that he could see himself clearly in her eyes.

The girl's eyes were as clear and clean as glass washed with water, and his face was reflected in the tea-brown pupils. She was staring at him so intently, as if there were only the two of them in this world.

A strange emotion and impulse suddenly rushed into Dick's heart, and that impulse drove him, making him couldn't help but move closer to Xiaojiu——

pop chirping.

It was the sound of the raccoon falling from the sky, the bungee jumping of the cat, and the elastic pads stepping on Dick's face.

"Hey, what's wrong with Qiliu?" Dick held Qiliu's forelegs and lifted it up, and at the same time he had to sit up.

Dick, who still had a faint red mark on his face, looked at the contracted beast in his hand with a little curiosity, and was even a little flattered—it had never been so intimate with him before: "Have you suddenly become intimate with me?"

"Wow, Qili is so enthusiastic suddenly." Xiaojiu was also very surprised: "Did you do anything to make him happy today?"

She hasn't even been thrown in the face by a raccoon, huh?Xiaojiu stared at her contracted beast with "I want it too".

Picked up like a cat, Kiri had no expression on his face—although it seemed to Kobato and Dick that there was only one expression on its furry face.

It's not okay to just kiss casually.Qili thumped his lower limbs a few times, and reluctantly kicked his master's lovely face.

No one can refuse a cat, especially a beautiful cat like Qili.

Dick, who was rubbing the raccoon with Kobato, had completely forgotten what he was planning to do.

The clock pointed to ten o'clock, and the two underage children were driven by the cat to take a bath in their own room, and then ran into a room after taking a bath.

The presidential suite that Anna booked has two bedrooms, a single room and a double room, and each bedroom has a bathroom. She booked it for the sake of ensuring safety.

But obviously, she overestimated Xiaojiu's gender awareness and clinginess, and also overestimated Qili.

Turn off the chandelier, close the curtains, in the hotel bedroom, only the night light on the bedside table exudes a soft warm yellow light.

Across the short distance between the two beds, they looked into each other's eyes and said good night.

"Good night, Xiaojiu." They were within reach, and their eyes blended in the warm light.

"Good night, Dick." Xiaojiu blinked at Dick, then closed her eyes reassuringly: "Good night, Qiliu."

Qi raccoon didn't answer, it stretched out a paw to turn off the night light, quietly coiled a fur ball on the bedside table between the two beds, and closed its tourmaline-like eyes.
