[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

The dark blue curtains were not fully drawn, so the morning sunlight passed through the glass window like water, and slanted into the bedroom, casting a layer of golden light on the sleeping person on the bed.

Xiaojiu blinked in a daze, stretched out her hand to block the sun for a few seconds, then turned over and buried her head in the arms of the young man beside her.

Turning on the air conditioner all night, the temperature in the room is unavoidably low. The girl's toes shrunk out of the thin quilt. She didn't need her brain to think and process, so she instinctively put her legs under the quilt, and curled her legs into the man. between the legs.

He also subconsciously rubbed the other side's strong calf bones with the soles of his feet.

Warm - she thought vaguely.

Smelly—Dick always smelled good, and she wriggled her nose and slept peacefully.

The delicious(?) Dick suddenly lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

Surrounded by the breath of the person he likes, even a sudden kiss can't make Xiaojiu open his eyes.

Anyway, it's Dick, no one else.

Good morning kisses.

It's just that I'm still sleepy...

"Sleep for a while..." The girl closed her eyes and rubbed his side chest with the tip of her nose.

It was a little itchy, like being licked by a newborn puppy, and even the heart was itchy.

But Dick held back and didn't move.

He woke up when Xiaojiu turned over.

Although everything in front of him almost gave him the illusion that he was still in a dream.

He kept his head down and stared at her peaceful sleeping face, watching her long eyelashes drooping like flower buds, trembling slightly with her even breathing.

Looking at her shiny fair face, you can see the slender neck with blue blood vessels, and the slightly messy but smooth and beautiful black hair.

She was so alive and healthy in his arms.

Dick gently moved the hand encircling Xiaojiu, his fingers slowly moved down along her spine, stroking her smooth back like a massage.

His movements were very gentle, and his fingers, which were rougher than ordinary people, were more likely to give people a comfortable feeling at this moment - Xiaojiu instinctively hummed twice, and rubbed Dick's neck again.

Early morning is an easy time to start a fire.

Especially when the two pieces of flint had just experienced a fire the night before, and both felt that the ignition was smooth and comfortable.

As a result, it was already ten o'clock in the morning when Koto and Dick finished dressing and washing, and sat down at the dining table.

Dick's T-shirt can almost be worn as a skirt on Koto, and it is a very standard five centimeters above the knee.

In fact, it's not impossible to use magic to quickly clean yesterday's skirt, it's just that I can wear my boyfriend's clothes, so why use magic to clean it early in the morning?

The tables and chairs in the dining room are brought by the apartment. They are very American in style, size and height. Sitting on such a tall mosaic wooden chair, Xiaojiu can freely let her calves dangle in mid-air.

She was half lying on the table like a cat, resting her chin on both hands, and dangling her calves to watch Dick prepare breakfast for two.

He said he was preparing breakfast, but in fact Dick just took out a box of Cheerios with anthropomorphic chocolate patterns from the cupboard, poured the Cheerios into two bowls, and then poured iced milk from the refrigerator into them.

After finishing this set of movements smoothly, Dick seemed to be belatedly aware that it seemed inappropriate to treat his long-lost reunion—girlfriend like this.

So he dug out two more apples from the refrigerator, peeled and cut them into pieces, put them neatly on a plate, and put them on the dining table together with Cheerios milk.

No one could accuse a young man juggling college and vigilante work of not having fresh ingredients at home, and it was a miracle that Dick didn't have expired food in his fridge.

Most of the time, Xiaojiu always eats a nutritious, healthy and delicious breakfast.

However, she is not a picky eater, and her adaptability is always very good.

And Cheerios are not hard to swallow.

Cheerios soaked in cold milk still maintain a crispy taste. While the cold milk effectively reduces the sweetness of the Cheerios themselves, the Cheerios are also dyed with a sweet chocolate flavor and become like chocolate milk.

For as long as she could remember, Dick had always liked this fast food, although Alfred didn't approve of it very much.

"I thought you were going to go to college in Gotham, so I went straight to Gotham last night." She took a few mouthfuls of Cheerios and continued the topic of last night.

After they arrived at Dick's apartment last night, they first sat on the sofa and had a few sips of tea, then they chatted, and then—in fact, it didn't take long, it seemed that they just chatted a few words, and then they kissed again.

There's nothing to talk about after kissing and kissing.

"At that time, I had some disputes with Bruce..."

Dick didn't talk about it in such detail to other people, but in front of Xiaojiu, he easily told what happened and his mental journey.

Rather than saying that he can't stand Bruce's desire to control, it's better to say that they were destined to separate many years ago and take two different paths (of course the former is also one of the reasons)

Robin is not Batman's little sidekick.

Robin won't be Batman either.

He had a fight with Bruce when he decided to go to Bludhaven for college, and then they had another fight when he didn't get to him in time.

He was confused about this for a while, he spent two months to go to New York, to the metropolis...to many cities, the conversation with Superman strengthened his heart, so he changed from Robin to Nightwing.

Not long after he acted as Ye Yi, she appeared in front of him again.

This is not a serious conversation, Dick said calmly and relaxedly while eating Cheerios, Koto also listened carefully while eating apple slices.

There was no need for any additional explanation, nor any special comfort and encouragement. The two chatted about the whole process of Robin becoming Nightwing as if they were talking about a very ordinary thing.

Koto felt that Dick's transformation from Robin to Nightwing was no different from her transformation from a magical girl to a witch.

It's all very natural, logical, and congratulatory growth.

And I have to say, Dick's growth looks more obvious than hers (specifically on the outside)

Koto, who looked like a junior high school student, poked Dick's forearm, watching his muscles tense instinctively, revealing smooth and beautiful lines.

Although Dick used to have muscles, but now this muscle is too obvious, and it is very big.

In contrast, why is she not even tall?

She'll grow taller afterward though, and maybe she'll be as tall as Dick if she drinks more milk.

"But that is to say, have you slept in something like a nutrient solution for a long time? How does it affect your body?"

Dick is very concerned about Kobato's condition.

Although he could feel that Xiaojiu was in a healthy state, the description of 'soaked in the magic pure liquid for a while' always made people feel uneasy.

In response to Dick's question full of deep worries, Xiaojiu explained to him the principle and the benefits of the Witch Trial in detail.

She also told Dick all about the trials she encountered.

"Although that dream is really great, I still prefer to live in the real world."

Xiaojiu ended with this sentence, although she quickly changed the topic to another place: "This side's hair color is a bit darker than yours before, but it's all a beautiful blue!"

Her mind always jumps very fast.

Luckily Dick could keep up.

Although the two talked about it for a while, Dick regretted that the magical girl Titi would no longer appear.

After looking at Dick's strong and tall body, Xiaojiu had to agree with this.

"But Jay may be able to work part-time as a magical girl like I used to." Dick looked excited.

"You went to Gotham first, did you see him? His name is Jason, Bruce's newly adopted boy, my brother, I gave him the Robin uniform and let him take over as Robin."

"I saw it. I thought it was you from a distance, but I found out it wasn't when I went over."

Xiaojiu nodded her head and rested her chin on her hands: "Then does he have magical girl friends? Has Stephanie returned to Gotham?"

"Yes, she'll be back in Gotham the next year," Dick paused. "I'm not sure, but I think they'll be good friends."

Although he reconciled with Bruce, Nightwing's identity, university studies, and Titan's activities all took up too much of his time, and he didn't have much time to go back.

He hasn't been back to Gotham in a while.

"But I know that Stephanie has a good relationship with Barbara, and Barbara is Batgirl, one of Bruce's new partners."

Xiaojiu blinked, and she suddenly realized that more than three years is actually a very long time.

Over three years, Dick went from a slender boy to a tall, muscular man.

Robin next to Mr. Batman is already another boy, and there is a new partner called Batwoman.

Stephanie has also grown into a magical girl who can guard a city alone.

When she became a witch, she felt that the world opened up a new side to her. Now that she realizes the power of time, she seems to have a new perspective.

In fact, when watching Yuno and the others use their new mobile phones and discuss new cartoons, they vaguely felt this way.

It's just that at that time, most of her attention was on meeting Dick, and she didn't notice her own feelings.

After three years of slumber, she faced this ever-changing world again, almost as ignorant as a newborn baby.

New magical girls, friends who have grown and changed, and technology that has advanced by leaps and bounds... In just over three years, the world can seem completely different.

This is really... so surprising!

Xiaojiu looked at Dick with sparkling eyes: "Let's go back to Gotham and have a look! I really want to know what Gotham is like now, and I really want to meet the new companion you mentioned!"

She has always been curious about all kinds of people and things, and the world is like a big playground and a big museum to her.

Now the world has almost changed again, isn't it like a playground where the old and the new are introduced, and the museum that has not been explored before has a lot of things that she has never seen before?

New technology, new magic, new buildings, new companions... just thinking about her makes her happy.

Although the three years of sleep seem to delay the pace of exploration, isn't it good to wake up and face a more interesting world?

And the old friends and elders are still by my side, and the three years of sleeping are not completely wasted (so she also met the witch sisters who are good at healing)

She has nothing to lose.

And now a new adventure with her best friend - and now best boyfriend.

Is there anything better than this?

As if infected by the smile in the girl's eyes, Dick also smiled softly: "Okay, we'll set off later, and we can still catch up with Alfred's lunch."

—so Dick completely forgot that it was Tuesday and he had classes in the morning and in the afternoon.
