[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

The day after Dick's birthday, Mami, Kyoko and the others took the flight back to Japan and left Gotham.

After all, they are adults, and they also have jobs and normal status in ordinary Japanese society. It is really difficult to stay in Gotham for too long.

But to everyone's surprise, Stephanie agreed to go back to Japan with Sakura Kyoko.

To be precise, Stephanie was hesitant at first.

Her mother was an alcoholic, always drunk in taverns, and didn't even communicate with her as much as her father, who was always in prison.

Their relationship wasn't great, but she was her mother after all, and she couldn't help worrying about her.

But the woman who was always too drunk, unable to think normally, and looked much older than her age due to chronic alcoholism, made the decision for her.

She didn't know that Stephanie was a magical girl, and she didn't know anything about witch magic.

All she knew was that Stephanie looked 'better' than in the past, and the three young Japanese women seemed to have discovered something special about her, and they intended to finance and cultivate her.

And they seem like nice people.

People who grew up in Gotham, especially those who are not rich, are always better than ordinary people at judging a person's character, whether a person is dangerous, and whether he is worthy of trust, otherwise it will be difficult to live here.

This is Stephanie's chance.

She would rather let them take Stephanie to study abroad, or simply go to Japan and never come back.

It's better than being in Gotham. If Stephanie stays in Gotham, her life can be seen at a glance just like her.

She knew that she was not a good mother, she dropped out of school early, fell in love, and got married in a hurry because of Stephanie.

Her marriage was as bad as her life, and she'd pretty much given up on her life all along.

It's hard to say how much she loves Stephanie, but with such an opportunity to gamble in front of her eyes, she feels that she must push Stephanie.

This is probably the only good thing she can do for her as a bad mother.

On the day Stephanie, Kyoko and the others left, it was rare for her not to drink, she tidied herself up, and sent Stephanie to the airport like an ordinary mother.

Kyoko gave her her phone number and address. Although she felt that she would not call or send a letter to Stephanie, the mother, who was actually in her early thirties, carefully put away this contact information.

"Study hard over there, Stephanie." She said to Stephanie with a nonchalant look.

"I know, when I come back in a year, you will see a very finished sentence and then drag Kyoko to the security checkpoint, leaving her alone looking at her back in a daze.

Stephanie adored Kyoko, and she adored Sayaka and Asami, and they brought her into a whole new and wonderful world.

But she still decided to stay in Japan for only one year. After studying with Kyoko and the others to become an excellent magical girl, she still wanted to go back to Gotham.

Not only because her mother is here, but because she loves the city where she was born and raised.

She also wants to be Kobato and Titi... or should I say Robin (Stephanie gets a little stomach ache every time she thinks that Titi is actually Robin), Batman guarding the city and making it better .

When she returns from her studies, she will teach her father to be a good man again and stop committing crimes!

Stephanie stepped onto the plane with confidence.

After Kyoko and her party left with Stephanie, Koto and Dick's life returned to the rhythm of the past.

However, after Dick's birthday, the relationship between the two has undergone imperceptible and continuous changes like seeds sprouting.

He is my favorite person.

I don't like him as much as other people do.

After realizing these two things at the same time, the girl gradually began to think about it.

As long as you are aware of it, as long as you start thinking, then it is not far from fully discovering what this love represents and what kind of existence it is.

If there were no accidents, they would probably discover, confess, and change from best friends to best lovers naturally, as Ba Mamei speculated.

Xiaojiu is one month younger than Dick, and her birthday is in mid-April. Just like Xiaojiu prepared a birthday present for Dick earlier, Dick also prepared a birthday present for Xiaojiu as early as the end of March.

Dick doesn't know magic and is not good at handcrafts, so he finds another way and asks someone to customize a gemstone necklace.

Wayne Group is involved in various industries. A certain well-known jewelry designer is also an employee of its subsidiary company. With the status of the young master of the Wayne family, the other party easily accepted Dick's order, and they were not even willing to charge extra.

The sketch of the necklace was finalized on April [-]nd. After the general production was completed, it was supposed to be sent to Wayne's house for Dick to make sure that it was correct before further finishing.

However, considering that Kojima might find out in advance, Dick made another trip by himself.

The main body of the necklace is two pink diamonds of similar size, together with a pink tourmaline cut and polished into a petal shape with a lighter color, to make two delicate and lovely cherry blossoms, which are then fixed to the platinum chain, and you're done.

Dick was very satisfied with the finished necklace. After the designer asked if there was anything to modify and adjust, he thought for a while, recalled Bruce's usual gift-giving style, and asked the designer to add another line of words on the back of the cherry blossom—— —'Dedicated to my dear little dove'.

If you say that a playboy like Bruce has a woman's name engraved on jewelry, it will make people feel like a veteran in the field of love.

When the 15-year-old Dick made such a request, people couldn't help but smile knowingly, and it felt good to be young.

Looking at the boy who wrote this sentence on the notepad with a serious face, so that she would not engrave the wrong name, the designer who is famous for his rigor couldn't help laughing and asked him: "Don't you want to add your own name?"

"Huh? My name... next time." Dick subconsciously stroked his earrings.

"Very good sapphire," the designer interpreted Dick's movements as shyness of a teenager: "I would like to help you design next time."

"Thank you, I think your design is really great." Dick looked at the necklace in the velvet box, and he could almost imagine how Koto would wear this necklace, it must be very suitable: "She will definitely like it."

Nothing else needed to be changed on the necklace, and Dick wasn't invited to stay for tea, so the whole process took less than an hour.

The biggest reason why Dick didn't accept the invitation was that he and Kobato had made an appointment to go to the library together in the afternoon.

In half a year, they will enter the third grade of junior high school, and the schoolwork is no longer as easy and simple as before. This time, they are going to the library to borrow books about the history of Gotham in order to complete a small collaborative essay.

The designer's studio is a certain distance from the Gotham City Library, and he needs to take the rail train, but before Dick enters the station, the circular magic sensor in his pocket emits a crazy siren.

The way the sensor used to sound an alarm was a vibration, but this time it was a high-pitched siren.

Dick took the sensor out of his pocket and found it was still blinking red.

According to the previous explanation, the sound of the siren meant that what appeared this time was not an alienated body, but a strange story, but what did the red light mean?

Dick didn't have time to think about it, he quickly turned off the sensor, and ran straight to the nearby public toilet.

Just as no one could hear the magic siren, the people hurrying to and fro did not pay attention to this fast-running boy.

After changing into the magical girl uniform in the backpack in the men's room and flying into the sky with his wand, Dick finally touched the gemstone on his right ear with his hands free.

"Dick?"

The wind blew past her ears, but the girl's voice was transmitted directly to her brain through the earrings that were close to her skin, as clear as if she was right next to her.

"I heard the alarm and have changed my equipment. Where are you?"

Dick subconsciously tilted his head to the right, as if this would help Xiaojiu hear better.

"I'm in the sky in the library! I also heard the alarm. It's a strange story, or the red light with a first-level alarm... It's very rare. It took me a long time to remember."

Xiaojiu at the other end has already flown to a height where she can almost overlook the entire Gotham. While answering Dick's question, she also sends her location to Qili in her mind and observes the situation of Gotham from a height. .

The comeback of the dark dimension lifeforms this time is slower than in the past, and it is also very different from the past.

After being brutally beaten by six magical girls, witches, and a false witch (referring to Batman), even the life forms of the dark dimension suffered great trauma in their hearts.

It was an indescribable pain, full of complicated and sour unwillingness.

After that battle, the dark dimension life body felt that it was no longer the same person it used to be. It learned to accumulate strength, learned to wait for opportunities, and also learned to hide its body shape, and launched a physical exploration of Gotham.

It's okay if you don't investigate, once you investigate it, you will find out what kind of resources you have wasted in the past——

Gotham is a perfect place for materialized ghost stories.

And the past failures are not completely useless. Those dark energies have more or less infiltrated into the city's underground, and now they can be taken out and reused.

After confirming that the other three witches and the new magical girl had really left Gotham, the dark dimension life body carefully planned the materialization of the strange talk of 'Gotham'.

In this city full of darkness and crime, there are countless urban legends about criminals, vigilantes, and ancient families.

But in reality, the city itself is a giant monster.

All kinds of unimaginable horror stories are constantly being staged, the old and condensed crimes are like the real darkness, and the heavily industrialized sky is always dark and gray, making it suspicious that this city, where the sun will never rise again one day, can be a boarding house. The 'Ghost City' of countless monsters.

Outside the apartment near the Wayne Botanical Garden, Poison Ivy stared at the sky, which was darker than usual, and frowned slightly.

In the next second, she sideways avoided the oncoming vine whip, and looked at the corner of the alley in shock - there stood a woman with no facial features and covered with leaves.

In another block, facing the 'man in black robe' composed of countless bats, Batman took out a pink bat dart from his universal belt expressionlessly.
