[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

Mami's tea party, Sakura Kyoko and Sayaka's experience as witches going to various places to fight against monsters, and the newborn magical girl Stephanie... A series of recent events undoubtedly took Kobato's attention.

Although she and Dick were still glued together like glue, they did spend less time together than before.

Only two people spend less time together than before.

But this does not mean that the relationship between them will be diluted. In a sense, this even makes Xiaojiu realize how much she cares for Dick more than before.

It is Ba Mamei who caused this change.

March is the month of Dick's birthday, and Xiaojiu remembers it very well. She and Alfred have been planning a birthday surprise for Dick since early March.

In preparing the gift, she asked Ba Mami for advice.

The young senior witch is gentle and elegant, intellectual and generous, as if she can give perfect answers to any questions.

For a girl of Xiaojiu's age, Ba Mami is undoubtedly the kind of reliable adult woman who is full of longing and respect, and is willing to ask her to answer her puzzles.

"Want to make him the most special, practical and beautiful gift?"

Ba Mamei put down the black tea in her hand, and looked at Xiaojiu in front of her with a smile.

"Yes! Because it's Dick's birthday, I'm giving him a birthday present for the first time, and I want to give him a super awesome one... well, I want to give a super awesome one in the future, but now I have to think about this gift first."

Regarding Ba Mami's rhetorical question, she nodded her head seriously, with an expectant smile on her face, and when she blinked her eyes, it seemed that there were stars dangling in it.

The name 'Dick' appeared quite frequently in Kobato's mouth, whether he was present or not, this name was very easy to come out of Kobato's mouth.

And whenever she mentions this name, her eyes will always become bright like now, and a natural and sweet smile will appear on the corners of her mouth.

She liked that his mood was so clearly presented in front of everyone, but she herself didn't notice it at all.

The perception of the world comes from emotions, and the blond witch with a more delicate and sensitive heart than others couldn't help showing a helpless and loving smile, and reached out to touch Xiaojiu's head.

Just as she saw that Xiaobao actually had extraordinary feelings for Dick, she also saw Dick's love for Xiaojiu in just a few meetings.

It's just the two of them, one likes each other but doesn't know the specialness of this liking, the other knows that he likes each other, but doesn't know that the other party actually has the same feelings for himself but doesn't know it.

But as long as they are given a little time, they will definitely be able to gradually realize that they have different feelings for each other, and change from best friends to best lovers.

To be precise... it should be that as long as Xiaojiu realizes this liking, which is different from other likings, they can become the best lovers.

After all, Dick and Kobato are not as awkward as Kyoko and Sayaka, even if they realize that they like it, they hide it and don't want to say it.

She's the kind of girl who is incredibly outspoken and can express her love for people and everything naturally.

When she discovers the love that has long been buried in her heart, she will definitely tell the boy she loves generously.

"Hmm~ Xiaojiu really likes him. I haven't been so entangled in thinking about birthday presents for other people before, have I?"

Dick is also a likable boy (although his appearance as a magical girl shocked Ba Mamei a lot...), so Ba Mamei kindly added fuel to the flames.

"... Huh?" This sentence made Xiaojiu's thinking interrupted and stuck.

In the past... She really didn't worry about what birthday presents to give other friends so seriously.

Because you know what other friends like, you can just do what you like?

No, in terms of knowing what she likes, she obviously knows what Dick likes.

It wasn't that she didn't know what Dick liked, so she couldn't think of a present.But although I know it, I want to give him the most special, practical and beautiful gift, so I am troubled by it.

This feeling seems a bit incredible, why is it like this?Because it's Dick, right?so……

"Yes, it's the first time I'm so tangled up." Xiaojiu nodded her head.

Looking at Xiaojiu who seemed to have started to think about it, Ba Mamei secretly encouraged Dick in her heart. After Xiaojiu thought about it for a while, she continued to discuss the original question with her——what is she going to give Dick? .

When talking about good-looking and beautiful things, people's first reaction is often flowers and accessories.

The flowers were beautiful enough, but not special enough, and Dick wasn't the type to care for them.

What about accessories?

Dick is that rare man who is suited to be adorned with all kinds of accessories.

Deep blue gemstones, fine diamonds, brilliant crystals... His previous appearance as a magical girl has proved that he can control any jewelry that may seem too gorgeous.

——After all, even if there are mountains of diamonds, they will not shine brighter than himself.

"How about ear studs? There are convenient disposable ear piercing machines for sale on the website. It won't hurt and the wound will heal immediately."

Ba Mamei showed Xiaojiu her ears. She wore citrine flower earrings today, which shone brightly under the warm light, cute and delicate.

Kobato imagined Dick wearing earrings.

As for Dick...the sapphire studs seem to fit perfectly.

But the earrings alone don't feel special enough.

"For gemstone earrings, can you add eternal magic effects to them?" Xiaojiu suddenly thought.

"If you use magic gemstones containing high-purity magic power, you can indeed achieve a near-eternal effect."

Ba Mamei gave an affirmative answer, she has some research and practice on this.

"However, adding magic lines to items is a very complicated magic. If you learn it now, you may not be able to catch up. Do you want me to help you?"

She doesn't mind helping Xiaojiu make magic props. She usually makes her own enchanted weapons and bullets and sells them on magic websites. She is familiar with most of the enchantments.

But she felt that according to Xiaojiu's character, she would have different opinions.

"Thank you, Mami-senpai. But I want to ask you to teach me how to do it." Xiaojiu gave Mami another answer as expected.

Mami laughed lightly, and she took a sip of her black tea before asking her, "Why? That's hard to learn."

Xiaojiu looked serious: "Because I want to make a birthday present for Dick by myself, so it's special, isn't it?"

"It's a very precious heart, he can definitely feel it," Mami looked at Xiaojiu tenderly: "Your precious love."

"Hmm! I like Dick the most!" Xiaojiu tilted his head slightly, his eyes completed a crescent moon, revealing not very neat but very white teeth, bright and innocent like flowers in the midday sun.

Mami couldn't help being infected by this smile, and the corners of her mouth that had just been put down for a while were curled up.

But, why did the council let such a... still immature and innocent magical girl garrison this city alone?

Xiaojiu's strength is strong, but her personality is very simple. From what she has seen in the past few days, she really feels that she is incompatible with this dark city full of crimes.

Could it be that the council had already expected that she would reach such a deep cooperative relationship with the city's vigilante police?

The man named Batman he met that night seemed like a reliable and resolute man.

But it was Dick who relieved Mami of most of her worries.

This boy is very similar to Koto, as shining, frank, optimistic, pure, sincere and bright.

But he is more mature than Koto, and the maturity here refers to the maturity of life cognition brought about by experience.

Growing up in this city full of crime, while being optimistic and sincere, he also knows how to stay vigilant and avoid danger when necessary.

He and Xiaojiu have a good relationship like one person, they always stay together, Mami also feels at ease with him by Xiaojiu's side.

This worry and reassurance come from the heart. Even if it is not a relationship of guidance, most witches always have a care mentality for other magical girls, and will give help within their ability when they meet.

Ba Mami is also a more sensitive and gentle type among witches. She has always been used to taking care of the same kind and younger generations around her, but in the past it was because she was afraid of being lonely. Now the emotion that drives her to do so has changed from fear to love.

She likes to take care of young juniors, she likes to see the smiles on girls' faces when she relieves her troubles, and she likes to treat young magical girls gently and see them happy by her side.

This is Ba Mami's growth as a witch.

"Then, let's start from the first step." Mami looked at her young junior: "You want to make an earring for him, what effect does it have?"

"Well, that's what I thought..."

The sky outside the window is dim, but the warm yellow light inside the house is as gentle as the evening sunset. The white contracted beast named Beibei and Qili are quietly eating the cake they made in the morning on the tea table. Xiaojiu and Mami are sitting At the desk, discuss technical issues about enchanting in a low voice.

On the other side, Dick in Wayne's old house had just finished training for the day. Through the transparent glass window, he looked at the gray sky of Gotham with some feeling.

What is Koto doing now?The boy stood up from the ground and wiped off the sweat that rolled from his chin to his chest with a wet towel, and the girl's face appeared in his mind.

She seems to be busy with things he doesn't know about recently.

I have to say that I am very concerned.

But let her tell him later.

Anyway, she wouldn't deliberately hide anything from him.

Dick waited for 12 days, and on his birthday, he finally knew what Koto was up to during this time.

There's a reason she's so busy.

She and Alfred (and Bruce) planned an awesome birthday party.

There were no other guests, just their family and their new friends, Mami and the others.

Just Bruce himself firing the triangle confetti salute, saying 'Happy birthday, Dick. ' It's enough to surprise (scare).

They also hung a lot of yellow, green and red ribbons and balloons in the hall, with blue flowers in between, and a banner with the words Grayson in flight.

The three-tiered cream cake is decorated with Dick's favorite fruit and is very circus-inspired, with a blue bullfinch robin on the top and a line written in strawberry jam: 'Hope you Fly forever, happy birthday'

Xiaojiu quietly told Dick that they asked Bruce to write it.

Then she presented Dick with the birthday present she had prepared for half a month——

An exceptionally large pot of blue irises in full bloom.

There is a small gift box in the center of the flower.

Xiaojiu originally planned to send a bouquet of flowers, but she was influenced by Poison Ivy, so she felt that it would be better to send a pot of live flowers.

This pot of iris is not an ordinary iris. It is a flower cultivated with magic seeds. During the growth process, a lot of magic power belonging to Xiaodove has been infused. The flowering period is longer than that of ordinary irises, and its survival ability is also stronger.

But the most special thing about this pot of irises is that it can calm down negative emotions such as anger and depression, and relax people's mood.

Although it was just an accompanying flower, Xiaobao wanted to give Dick the best.

After putting the flower pot on the table beside him and opening the small box, Dick fully understood why Xiaojiu wanted to use the magic tool for piercing ears with him yesterday.

The gift she gave him was earrings. He also vaguely guessed it yesterday.

The earrings are beautiful blue, made of perfectly cut round sapphires, the gemstones are shining brightly under the light, and streamers can be vaguely seen swirling in them.

Although she is not a real magical girl and does not understand the craftsmanship of making magic items, Dick can also see that this gift is very thoughtful.

It's always a joy to be valued, especially when that person is someone you like.

"Can you put it on for me?" Dick looked down at Xiaojiu.

The boy's eyes are full of blue, shining more than jewels, gentler than the ocean, and the light of stars dances in them.

He looked at her expectantly.

No one can refuse such words, such gazes.

Xiaojiu felt his heart beating very fast suddenly.

"Okay," she heard herself answer.

Dick put the box in her hand, bent down, and put his head in Kojito's hand.

The girl's hands are warm, and the boy's ears are cold. When they touch each other, the senses will be amplified by the temperature.

Xiaobao was very careful, and slowly put on the pair of earrings for Dick.

They were so close she could smell the peppermint shampoo on his head and the lemon shampoo on his neck.

He could smell a childish fruity scent on her, too.

"This, I added constant temperature magic,"

As if unconsciously covering up the incomprehensible panic for a moment, Xiaojiu suddenly explained: "Touch the earring on the left side around, it can be hidden and will not be found."

"If you touch one circle on the right, you can communicate with me directly, and touch another circle to turn off the communication."

"That way, we can contact you anytime!"

"Ah, there is also the effect of expelling the dark power. Although this effect is not very strong, but if it can be added, I will add it."

Xiaojiu let go of his hand, looked at Dick who straightened up, and suddenly relaxed.

The strange panic just now seemed like an illusion, and it had disappeared without a trace.

"Thank you, I like it very much." Dick laughed, then lowered his head and kissed her cheek again.

"This is the best birthday present I've ever received and the best birthday I've ever had."
