[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

The snow on the American continent seems to be rougher and more casual than that in the Land of the Rising Sun.

The heavy snowflakes are like goose feathers, thickly piled up, and the color of the snowflakes is gray and white due to serious industrial pollution.

But just like everyone else who adapts to this land, Koto welcomes and sends away Gotham's winter happily as always.

And when the snow melted and spring came, she got a surprise just in time for the season.

A new magical girl is about to be born in Gotham City.

The wonderful fate indicates the lingering roots between the flowers that are about to bloom and the mature flowers, so on this spring day when all things are revived, another witch will come to Gotham to pick up the descendants with the same roots as her.

That witch is Sakura Kyoko, who is also Japanese. Although Xiaojiu doesn't know her, she does know her friend—Senior Asami who drank tea with her at the tea party.

This surprise was exactly what Ba Mami told her through the mail function of the magic website.

Another friend of theirs will also come to Gotham together - originally there will be a total of five people, but because the other two have received temporary tasks and cannot spare time, only three people will come.

It happened to be the weekend when they arrived in Gotham, and they didn't have to go to class, so Xiaojiu enthusiastically offered to pick them up. After all, Gotham's route is complicated, and it's a bit easy to get lost.

Ba Mami did not refuse. The last time she saw Xiaojiu was two years ago, and the impression is still deep.

They have very similar pasts - which is not the biggest reason she remembers them well.

She is full of hope, bright and dazzling, as long as she is seen once, she will never be forgotten.

She is the kind of frank and sincere good boy, and she has no reason to refuse this invitation that comes from her heart rather than courtesy.

And she is also quite concerned about Xiaojiu's current situation.

Part of the content on the magic website is only open to witches. Witches have more information than magical girls, and they will also exchange confidential content that they care about in the forums belonging to witches.

For example, the ▇▇ gate that descended on Gotham.

The door that descended on Gotham has attracted the attention of many witches.

90% of the ▇▇ gates connecting the two worlds of the dark dimension lifeforms are in Japan. This is not to say that the dark dimension lifeforms particularly like Japan or are in conflict with Japan.

The truth is on the contrary, they don't want the door to come to Japan.

It is the witches who hope and cause the gate to come down in Japan.

Although Japan is not the birthplace of magical girls, it is the most suitable land for the birth of magical girls.

In order to minimize the threat of the door to the world, a certain witch and several witches teamed up to create a twisted barrier.

That enchantment can distort the 'path' created when the world connects with the world, change the coordinates set by the life forms in the dark dimension, and make the gate descend on the Japanese island.

Occasionally there are fish that slip through the net and are also wild islands in various wastelands.

The place where the gates of Gotham descended is the suburbs of Gotham. Although it is not a densely populated urban area, it can easily contact people and develop alienation.

This is a not so good phenomenon.

They couldn't be sure whether it was a coincidence or whether the dark dimension lifeforms had a way to deal with the enchantment.

The former is best, but the latter must be guarded against.

However, the Witch Council did not give the task of going to Gotham to investigate. It is impolite to offend the local magical girls to rush there without reason, so no witch has been aware of the specific local situation so far.

Of course, the number of witches and magical girls active in the American continent is relatively small, and they are relatively busy, which is also one of the reasons.

Who is the magical girl guarding the city alone?What kind of girl is she?

Most of the witches who paid attention to this matter had never met Kobato herself, nor did they know her name. They only knew that she was the strongest magical girl of this generation.

But this does not prevent them from silently paying attention to this city through forums, news, and the Internet, caring about this junior who has never met, and giving him sincere care and blessings.

Ba Mami knew about Koto, but she didn't tell anyone else about it. She didn't mention it to Sakura Kyoko and Miki Sayaka until before departure.

Sakura Kyoko didn't particularly care about what Asami called "Gotham's only magical girl" Sawajo Kobato, nor did she care much about Gotham's door.

Now she only wants to see her junior as soon as possible.

Although Kyoko would deliberately act calm when mentioning it to Sayaka and the others, she actually cared and looked forward to it in her heart.

She is not a person who can hide her thoughts very well.

Among the five of them, probably only Sayaka, who was lively and innocent, couldn't see that she was actually very excited.

That feeling that all witches can empathize with--'I will finally become a senior who guides magical girls! ' the excitement.

Every witch grows from a magical girl. They accept the guidance of their predecessors and yearn from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that one day they can become such a powerful and beautiful existence.

The guiding relationship between the witch and the magical girl is destined.

Maybe they will find the magical girl who is destined to be guided by them when they first become witches, or maybe they will not meet until decades, decades later.

Sakura Kyoko just became a witch for a year, and she was able to find her junior magical girl, which can be said to be very fast and very lucky.

A large part of the reason Sayaka couldn't see it was because she was more excited than Kyoko.

I don't know why she is more excited than Kyoko.

The night before she left for Gotham, she still suffered from insomnia because of it, as if it wasn't Kyoko who had a junior magical girl, but she had a junior magical girl.

However, considering that although the two of them were always at odds when they first met for a few years, they later became—or became best friends when they were still fighting, and vaguely developed feelings beyond friendship, she would It's no wonder they're so excited.

Thinking of this, Ba Mamei couldn't help showing an understanding and funny expression.

"Okay, we're going to meet the magical girls of this city soon,"

She showed a gentle and reliable smile: "Although it is not a junior we specially guide, but it is also a junior, you have to show the appearance of a senior witch."

"Of course, I'm very reliable!" Sayaka shook her hair confidently.

Kyoko laughed at her, and re-tied the bow tie she had loosened.

The four of them brought two suitcases together, but Xingzi carried a bag, which was full of snacks before departure, and most of them were emptied overnight on the plane, and now there are only a few sticks left Tang's backpack was just stuck flat on her back.

Ba Mami has brilliant blond hair, Kyoko and Sayaka also have conspicuous red hair and blue hair, and they are both very iconic, so they are very conspicuous in the crowd.

In addition, Ba Mami had told Xiaojiu about their characteristics before, as soon as they left the airport, Xiaojiu who was waiting near the exit found them.

"Senior Mami!" The girl's voice was a little strange, it was softer than the impression, and it was a bit sweeter than a girl.

But as soon as she saw that smiling face, Ba Mamei was sure that she was Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu's facial features have opened up a lot, and her height is also a bit taller, which hasn't changed a lot in the past two years, but the bright smile that is almost dazzling is still the appearance in Mami's memory.

There was also a boy beside her, which Ba Mamei had heard about from Xiaojiu beforehand.

Xiaojiu said that she would bring her best friend with her, and he was also approved to use some magic props to fight against the dark dimension lifeforms with her.

Ba Mami was a little surprised that Koto's partner was an ordinary boy, but after chatting for only 10 minutes on the road, she understood why Koto's partner was this boy named Richard.

They are the same kind of people.

The same frankness, the same sincerity, the same likability.

And the same sparkle.

According to Mami's plan, they will go to the hotel to drop off their luggage, then have lunch together, and after lunch, they will go to the newborn magical girl together.

But plans don't always keep up with changes.

On the way to the restaurant recommended by Kobato and Dick, Kyoko suddenly stopped and said that she sensed the breath of another magical girl.

"She's nearby! I can feel it! I want to find her first!"

Kyoko, who always regards eating as very important, puts another thing before eating for the first time.

Of course, it was impossible for the other people present to let Kyoko go to eat alone, so their original route to the restaurant was abruptly turned in another direction.

At first, Kyoko just walked quickly, ignoring the eyes of passers-by, and they also followed her quickly. The group of people looked like travelers in a hurry.

After Kyoko followed the magic guide to a remote path where there were no people, she started running.

Kyoko runs fast, her movements are smooth and quick, the dirty path full of garbage and debris seems to her no different from a flat road, she passes by like the wind, and can't even touch the floating leaves her skirt.

If it was anyone else, she must have been left far behind.

Sayaka also used a little magic power to keep up with Kyoko.

Bamami was a little surprised that Koto and Dick could easily keep up with this.

Even if it is the strongest among the magical girls of this year, it is very rare to be able to achieve this level at this age... Let's consider this as the level that the strongest should have, then how did that boy achieve it?

His speed may be a little bit too much, but his flexibility is not inferior to Xingzi.

As an ordinary person, with such a level, it's no wonder that he and Xiaojiu can deal with life forms in the dark dimension.

After all, even with magic props, not everyone can fight those monsters.

Rounding a moss-covered corner, passing crumbling eaves, and passing through dilapidated houses in the old city, Kyoko stopped in front of a house with a slightly older feel.

Stephanie was going out to buy some bread and see which nearby bar her mother had gone to after a night of hangover.

As a result, as soon as she opened the door, she saw a strange woman who was obviously not a native of Gotham standing at the door of her house.

Or a young girl, she doesn't look very old, she seems to have just grown up, but she may be in her 20s, after all, Orientals look small.Stephanie thought wildly.

She took care of her mother for half the night last night, and she has not been very clear-headed until now.

"Are you lost?" Stephanie asked uncertainly.

Such a person in Gotham, especially in this kind of old city, is a shining fat sheep. She couldn't figure out why this woman came here, it was far away from the scenic spot (although Gotham didn't seem to have any scenic spots).

As for the conjecture that 'she seems to be looking for her', it did pop up in Stephanie's mind, but she really couldn't think of any reason for a strange oriental woman to look for her, so she was caught by her within a second of appearing. rejected.

Before Kyoko could answer, Mami, Sayaka, Kobato and Dick also ran over.

Suddenly surrounded by several people, Stephanie's hairs stood on end.

It's not her mother who messed with some East Asian violent group.

"I..." "Let's guide you to become a magical girl!" Sayaka held Stephanie's hand.

Unbearable, Kyoko slapped Sayaka's head away, and snapped her fingers with the other hand.

The enchantment unfolded.

The malicious people who spied on the gathering of outsiders left in a daze. They would completely forget what they wanted to do and what they met.

Looking at the light red water curtain rising from the ground all around, and the neighbors who seemed to see nothing outside the water curtain, Stephanie was completely stunned.

"I'm Sakura Kyoko, and as you can see, I can use magic."

Kyoko spit out a string of authentic English fluently, in a sense, it is also the result of her hard work in English.

Her English is so bad that Mami failed to save her after staying up late for remedial classes. In order to be able to communicate well with future generations, Kyoko immediately gave up learning English and bought Konjac, a translator.

Stephanie nodded her head blankly, something flashed through her mind.

"I came here because you and I are of the same kind." It was rare for Kyoko to look serious, and Sayaka also obediently kept her voice down.

"We can all use magic to protect the world and maintain love and justice."

"Would you like...to be a magical girl?"

Kyoko held out her hand to Stephanie.

She looked very calm, as if this was an extremely simple invitation.

In fact, her palms were sweating.

Sayaka calmly took her other hand hanging by her side, and gave Stephanie a friendly smile.

Mami who was standing behind Kyoko also smiled softly at Stephanie.

Stephanie felt that it was weird to be looked at by strangers with such a smile, but maybe it was because their eyes were too gentle, so she gradually relaxed.

Xiaojiu and Dick, who seemed to be a few years older than her (Stephanie felt that one of the girls seemed to be about her age), also made her feel more at ease.

She began to digest Kyoko's words.

Magical girl, Stephanie is no stranger to this word.

In the past six months, since that strange door appeared in Gotham, this word has also appeared in everyone's mouth.

Use magic to fight against monsters and protect the girl of Gotham.

The blue magical girl and the pink magical girl are much more high-profile than Batman, and many people swear that they have met them.

Others claim to have seen them fighting crime with Batman.

Stephanie also saw them once from a distance.

It is not for nothing that magical girls have become the No. 1 dream job of little girls.

They look like princesses from a fairy tale, dreamy and beautiful like a distant dream.

She stood at the entrance of the alley that day, watching them fly across the night sky like shooting stars.

Wearing a beautiful dress and flying in the sky, guarding the city and exercising justice, she wants to do the same.

Stephanie Brown, a Gotham girl whose father is a third-rate criminal and whose mother is an alcoholic, wants to be a partner in justice.

It sounds like a joke.

Stephanie took a deep breath, and she put her hand on Kyoko's extended hand.

She said in a quivering voice that seemed to be joking, "You know, I once saw a magical girl flying across the sky, like a shooting star."

"So at that time I made a wish."

"I want to be a magical girl too."

"I didn't expect it to come true."

The little girl with blond hair has big eyes, blue, darker than Sayaka's hair, and lighter than the color of the sea.

Kyoko felt something familiar deep in her eyes.

They have similar things deep in their souls, and the connection between witches and magical girls who have the same root is so wonderful, like sisters, and it seems to be better than blood.

"My name is Stephanie, Stephanie Brown."

The scene in front of her reminded Xiaojiu of her first meeting with Anna.

The moment when every magical girl meets her guiding witch and becomes a magical girl is so touching, no matter how long it has been, it is so clear, and every time I think of it, I feel happy and happy from the bottom of my heart.

But speaking of it, she was also an invitation and witnessed Dick become a 'magic girl'.

Can she also be regarded as Dick's half senior and half guide witch?

At least remembering the first meeting with Dick and seeing him become a 'Magic Girl', her heart will always be filled with happiness and joy.

Although most of the time they were together would make her laugh uncontrollably.
