[Comprehensive English and American] Magical Girls in Gotham

Stephanie was in awe of Dick for a while.

At that time, she had returned to Gotham for about half a year. Not only was she recognized by Batman and knew their true identities, but she also often went to Wayne's house for dinner and learned fighting with Barbara or Dick.

Compared with the stern Batman, Barbara who is unequivocal during training, Alfred who is always kind but no one wants to commit crimes in front of him, Dick is in a family, whether it looks or gets along, Both are the gentlest, best-spoken ones.

He'd tell bad puns on night watch that weren't funny but would lighten the mood, give her a sports drink with added sugar when she couldn't make it through practice, and deal with teachers who asked her why she was absent...

He was the handsome, gentle and pampering big brother that little girls dreamed of.

At the same time, Stephanie also felt that he was a bit like her mother-not that Dick was really like her mother, nor that Dick was very motherly, but that Dick was so considerate that people couldn't help but think of the legendary mother's love.

So Stephanie was always a little skinnier with Dick.

until that day.

Since that war, the 'door' on the outskirts of Gotham City has never been opened again - if Stephanie didn't know that as long as the door exists, it means that it may be opened, and she must be like everyone else I feel that the door will not be opened again.

After all, the door that made people tremble and fear just by approaching it, now looks like a dusty stone door.

The surrounding vegetation is no longer scorched, and new shoots are tenaciously growing.

People only feel a little anxiety when they are close to the door itself, but few people will die like this. Only Bane will run here every time after escaping from Arkham, breaking the iron gate built by the Wayne Group. The railing, while chanting words, kept touching the door.

The door opened without warning during their night patrol.

Stephanie heard two vibrations, one from her own wand and one from Dick.

But he didn't speak, and she only saw the smile on his face disappear without a trace, and his demeanor almost made her feel a little strange.

"The door is open." She was stunned for a few seconds before she could say the news, and before she could finish, Dick shot out like an arrow.

Later, she and Bruce, Barbara, meet an angry Dick in the street near the door.

Perhaps the word anger is too light.

He wasn't insanely furious, and every one of his attacks (Stephanie didn't expect Dick to have all those magic items on him) was precise, the kind of precision that would knock the shit out of dark dimensional life.

Stephanie just couldn't move.

Batman didn't stop Dick either, he also stopped Barbara who wanted to go forward.

The life form of the dark dimension finally screamed and disappeared in the flames with disintegrating magic power.

At the time, Stephanie was just a little bit in awe, a little bit intimidated by Dick... after all, Dick was so different then and usually.

An incident about Stephanie herself that happened not long after that incident allowed her to understand Dick's other side in a daze.

She believed too much in her abilities, so she was kidnapped by Black Mask and had one hand broken.

When Dick came to rescue her, he was also in the same posture that almost beat those criminals out of shit, but this time he didn't kill them like he killed the dark dimension lifeforms.

Then he untied the rope for her very gently, comforting her who blamed herself and cried with a completely opposite attitude from before.

On the way, he stopped Bruce from speaking harshly and took her to the dessert shop.

"You do need to be more cautious in the future, but it's not your fault, don't blame yourself, okay?"

Those azure blue eyes will burn with a frighteningly cold anger, and also be as gentle as a calm ocean.

All unease and awe in Stephanie's heart disappeared at that moment.

Only the touch, admiration, and guilt that almost overflowed from the eyes remained.

Later, she quietly asked Alfred why Dick was so angry that day-in various senses, Xiaojiu was killed by life forms from the dark dimension.

Stephanie always thought that Xiaobao just went back to Japan. She liked the girl who was as enthusiastic as Dick, but since no one mentioned it, she never asked.

In the end, did she actually die...?

Stephanie belatedly felt sorry for Dick for a long time.

She remembered that they were very good friends.

When she was in danger, Dick would be so worried and angry, let alone Xiaojiu had an accident.

Now that she learned that Koto was not dead, and that she and Dick had returned to the Wayne house, Stephanie was as happy as the others.

Dick and Xiaojiu came back this time and stayed at Wayne Manor for two days - if it wasn't for the final attendance assessment, Dick would probably stay with Xiaojiu for a little longer.

And Qili came over on the evening of the day they came back.

Qili doesn't really want to recall the experience that he came out of Wonderland, but learned that Xiaojiu had gone to the United States, and then was forced to stealthily carry a plane and followed Xiaojiu's breath all the way to find him.

What makes it even more puzzling is that it is only a little late, and Koto and Dick have quickly developed into a partnership.

Although this is also expected by it.

It's just that this matter was too fast, and after all, it still made the petty contracted beast unhappy.

So after Qili arrived, taking advantage of only Dick, Xiaojiu and Stephanie in the living room, he immediately exposed his new skills without hesitation.

"Bring me a glass of milk, please." This sentence managed to scare Dick alone.

As witches and magical girls, Kobato and Stephanie knew that when they got their magic contracted beasts, they knew that when they became witches, the contracted beasts could also have the ability to speak normally in this world.

The only one who would be shocked by this was Dick.

It was Dick's subsequent behavior that was beyond Qiraculous's expectations—after the shock faded, Dick yelled, picked up its front paws, and ran to the room where Alfred was.

"Alfred!! Bruce! Jay! You guys come on! Kid raccoon can talk—!"

Qili kicked Dick coldly.

On the other hand, Stephanie rubbed her corgi-like and pig-like contracted beast full of longing, wishing she could become a witch tomorrow and listen to the real voice of her contracted beast.

10 minutes after Dick took Qiliu away, he returned to the room with paw prints on his face full of disappointment.

After Qili was brought upstairs, he refused to speak at all, and even kicked him several times.

Now Alfred is going to prepare cat food for Qiraculous.

Kobato sent her girlfriend's sympathy for this, and gave Dick a tender kiss-this made Stephanie and Jason Ziqi, who came down with Dick, feel a little bit bright, like a light bulb.

But they don't think it's a problem.

Let's give the big brother who lost his sweetheart a little bit of privilege.

When Dick told Kobato that he planned to drop out of school, Kobato also told him that he planned to go to college.

During the two days at the Wayne House, Xiaojiu not only taught Stephanie some new magic, but also learned about many emerging technological products from her——Stephanie is the girl who is at the forefront of trends in her family. She took Xiaojiu to buy I bought a new mobile phone and pasted a bunch of colorful Bluetooth stickers on it.

Moved by the advancement of technology, Xiaojiu decided to go to university to major in product design. She wanted to understand the design and operation of these things, and then combine them with magic.

Many witches are also outstanding in their fields. Xiaojiu can easily get a letter of recommendation to go to Brudhaven University, and can continue to be classmates with Dick (although there is a big difference between college classmates and junior high school classmates)

The additional wish of going to the same school with Dick was broken, but Xiaojiu was not too disappointed, after all, Dick's own choice was the most important.

After asking Dick why he made this choice, Koto gave Dick sincere support.

There was nothing wrong with Dick's reasoning that his college courses had affected his ability to fight criminals.

Now that he's found the job he wants to do, it doesn't matter whether he goes on to college or not.

"I didn't choose my major well at the time," Dick shrugged. "I probably just wanted to get out of Gotham."

"I wanted to be a police officer when I left school, and that didn't conflict with what I wanted to do."

He carefully analyzed his plans with Xiaojiu, and Xiaojiu listened carefully.

But Xiaojiu didn't make any rebuttals or suggestions throughout the whole process, she just asked him a few times if he really thought about doing this.

After Dick gave an affirmative answer, she gave Dick a thumbs up: "Then, let's do it like this!"

"Since you seriously think it's okay, then it's totally fine."

Different from most couples, Xiaojiu and Dick are unanimously 'independent' on the issue of each other's choices.

Although they are sticky like two gummy bears, they don't overly interfere with each other's choices. To be precise, they make their own decisions on issues that don't involve getting along with the two of them.

Advice is given when the other party needs it, and support is given when it is not needed.

But no matter which way they go, they walk side by side.

The choice that would cause the two to part ways never existed in the options from the very beginning.

They have always been like this.

The evening light quietly fell into the room, and the light refracted by the blue earrings and the pink necklace merged in the warm yellow corner of the wall.

Dick smiled at Koto's answer, as if he knew she would answer like that.

"I knew you would say that," he said.

Koto blinked.

He gave her a soft kiss on the eye.

"Speaking of which, there is one more thing." After Dick finished kissing, Xiaojiu suddenly raised his head and gestured with his fingers.

"Shall we take advantage of tomorrow's Friday to get a marriage certificate?"

This time it was Dick who blinked blankly.
