[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Ada slept soundly.Until she woke up from the dream, she still felt lazy, every cell was telling of relaxation, even the bones were soft.

What woke her from sleep was the aroma of apple pie.

The tempting smell of butter, sugar, and wheat flour in the oven dances with the rich sweetness of apples. Just smelling it awakens the memory of the taste buds, causing the empty stomach to gurgle.

Ada sat up in bed, fumbled for the armrest beside the bed, and lowered herself into the wheelchair.

——It's Sakiko's special baked apple pie!

she thought happily.

"Good afternoon, miss."

Sakiko opened the curtains, and the sunlight outside the glass window fell on her face all at once, and her hands, which were still immersed in sleep, warmed up.Sakiko straightened the hair sticking to her cheeks with slightly cold hands, and pushed her wheelchair towards the bathroom.

In fact, Ada was very resistant to the fact that someone washed her for herself at the beginning... But due to the physical limitations of this body, and the fact that Sakiko's service is too thoughtful, Ada soon got used to it. Knowing this, I even gradually enjoyed her services.

...Anyway, AI has no gender, so what are you afraid of?

↑Pojar Poshuai is probably the same.

Sakiko not only helped Ida wash up, but also changed her into a clean and soft new dress. Ada even felt that she had braided a delicate fishbone braid for herself. Yes, it is very beautiful and very beautiful in the CLAMP comics. The troublesome kind.

Occasionally, she meant occasionally, Ada would also feel a bit confused about who was more like a woman, herself or AI.

But the focus of the problem now is obviously not that——

"Is the apple pie ready?"

This is the only concern of foodies.

I just want to know when I can have a delicious apple pie!My stomach that has eaten nothing but two slices of fruit pizza since last night can't wait!

"If you eat it now, the temperature is not perfect." Saki Seko's answer is very AI, "I suggest waiting for another 12 minutes and 35 seconds."

"That means you can eat it now." Ada said decisively, "Cut a piece for me first!"

"it is good."

Sakiko didn't object to her proposal, and after pushing her to the dining room, he cut a small piece for her, and Ada couldn't wait to take it and bit it, her tongue shrank from the heat left in the stuffing, so she had no choice but to Eat in small bites while blowing.

"Still eating in the room today?" Sakiko asked while cutting the apple pie.

"Hmm... let me think..."

One side of Ada's cheek was stuffed with food. She tilted her head and thought about it. She put her hand on the dining table and felt the temperature of the sun on the back of her hand. She shook her head after a while.

"It's sunny today, so let's eat in the yard."

It's hard to have such good sunshine in Gotham.

She thought regretfully.

"it is good."

In terms of daily life, AI has always been responsive to Ada.

It's the same this time.

Sakiko quickly set up a gardening table and two cat leg chairs in the yard, and spread a snow-white tablecloth on the table.She put the steaming apple pie on the table, and put the bone china tea set filled with good black tea on the other side.By the way, a soft cushion was stuffed behind Ada's wheelchair.

The whole process, by the way, took less than 7 minutes.

In short, when Ada sat in the lazy afternoon sun and picked up the apple pie in front of her, she was not surprised to find that it was the most suitable temperature for eating as the AI ​​said earlier.

Ada couldn't help but smiled at this discovery, and was about to put the apple pie in her mouth, when she suddenly turned her head away as if aware of it.

"Want to eat together, Billy?" she said, smiling at the boy lying on the fence. "As you can see, there's more than enough for the two of us to finish this big plate of apple pie."

Although she couldn't see it, she could still feel the boy's gaze.Because of that sense of familiarity, Ada even quickly recognized who it was.

Billy Batson is a little boy living nearby. It is said that he is a child of a foster family. Ada is not very clear about the specific situation, but he knows that his family does not seem to treat him well. I don’t know if this is the reason. He Only then did he always want to escape to find his biological mother.

Ada is usually busy with her studies and work, so she can only ask the familiar community workers to take care of him, or invite him to come over and have some good food together like this.

And Billy Batson also climbed over the fence, ran to wash his hands familiarly, then sat on the chair beside her, and took a large glass of orange juice from Sakiko.

"Thank you, Sakiko."

The seven or eight-year-old boy was very polite, put his legs together obediently, and sat on a chair to drink his juice.He looked at the apple pie on the table, waited quietly for Sakiko to give him a large piece of apple pie, then quickly put down the glass, took the plate obediently, and took a big bite impatiently.

Ada didn't go to eat her own until she heard the crunch of the pie crust in the boy's mouth.The properly baked pie crust plays a joyful movement between the lips and teeth, and the filling will not lose the unique taste of the apple itself due to the high temperature.Sakiko's seasoning has always been very precise. The filling that melts on the tip of the tongue not only retains the sweetness and sourness of the apple, but also does not appear sweet due to too much sugar. It is a very refreshing sweetness, like a song A perfect composition of tunes and harmonies.

After eating a small half of the apple pie, Ida picked up the teacup to drink black tea.

The warm apple pie soothed the emptiness in her stomach, and the mellow black tea diluted the sweetness that was still lingering on her tongue, which made her face look a little bit satisfied.I don't know if he misunderstood her expression. The little boy looked at her teacup for a while, and he seemed to think that this cup of black tea was particularly delicious, so he also made his own request.

"Can I drink this?"

Ada was a little surprised: "Black tea? Well, it's okay, Sakiko pour him a cup, just a small cup."

Sakiko poured Billy a cup as promised, no more, no less, exactly one-third of a teacup, which was the "small cup" she instructed.The little boy eagerly took the bone china teacup, but when he drank the first sip of black tea, he wrinkled his face in bitterness.

"Hey..." He stuck out his tongue and pushed the cup away, "This is so bad."

"Of course, you're not old enough to enjoy black tea yet."

Ada chuckled, delighted at the little boy's voice strained by bitterness.A slightly sinister pleasure.

But after all, she was not bad-hearted. She gestured to Shizi Saki, and put a spoonful of sugar in Billy's teacup. After all the sugar had melted into the tea, Ada raised her hand and gently Touched Billy.

"Try again now?"

Billy gave her a suspicious look, apparently already aware of her previous evil intentions.But he reluctantly took another sip, and then opened his eyes slightly in surprise.

"……much better?"

"Right?" Ada squinted and smiled, and couldn't help rubbing the cute little boy's hair.

"Don't touch my head." Billy emphasized to her like an adult, "Girls are not allowed to touch men's heads casually."

"man……"

This time Ada really burst out laughing, her shoulders trembled for a while before she managed to suppress the burst of laughter, but she still laughed until her waist went limp.She leaned back in the wheelchair and rubbed Billy's head again with a smile.

"Well, would our little man have another ham sandwich?"

"want!"

The elder and younger enjoyed Sakiko's special ham sandwich, and each of them ate it together. Their stomachs were so full that they had to slump on their seats together in a daze.Billy suddenly tilted his head to look at Sakiko as she tidied up the tea set and tableware with the tinny clink of china.

"I heard that you are moving."

"Yes." Ada didn't mean to hide, "I'm going to move to Gotham because my job is there."

"Gotham?!" Billy sat up straight suddenly, and the chair screamed, "That Gotham with so many super criminals???"

Woohoo...Has Gotham's reputation spread so widely?Even any kid in Philly knows?

While complaining inwardly, Ada nodded to Billy.

"That's not a good city..." Billy's voice sounded worried. "I heard that a girl from the school next door moved to Gotham because of her father's job transfer, and she got involved with that... crow man?"

"Scarecrow." Ada corrected him.

"Yes, they were involved in the scarecrow's gas attack, and it is said that none of them survived..."

"In fact, the scarecrow's fear gas is not fatal." Ada added, "Although long-term inhalation may cause irreversible brain damage, as long as the antidote is injected in time, it is not life-threatening."

"But Gotham is still very dangerous." The little boy looked at her worriedly, "Can't you not go?"

"Well. This is the trouble of adults." Ada smiled, "It's impossible not to go."

Leaving aside the fact that she still needs to find that little bastard who stabbed her in the back... Taking a ten thousand step back, the target is still there!Staying in Philadelphia can't beat the flowers of Gotham!

"I promise you, I will be careful in Gotham." She pinched the boy's face and smiled slightly, "And Sakiko will always be with me, don't worry too much."

"Okay..." Billy sighed like an adult, and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid either. Batman will protect you."

Ada really couldn't help laughing this time: "You like Batman very much?"

"Although adults say Batman is a bad guy, we all think he's super cool!" Billy said and waved his little fist, "Every time he hits a bad guy! Then he must be a good guy I hope Batman catches all the bad guys. I read on the news that he catches the bad guys and puts them in jail every time - he and Robin win every time! Super handsome !"

"Well, I also think he is a good person." Ada recalled the Batman in the news report, her voice suddenly dropped, "Although I think it is very bad to employ child labor..."

How old is Robin?

She thought very painfully.

Although there are often plots where elementary school/middle school/high school students save the world in Japanese comics...but that's a manga!It's not Two-dimensional here!People will die if they are killed!Why do you let children engage in such a dangerous occupation, tell me!And if I remember correctly, he has a minor protection law in the United States!Batman, feel your conscience and say that Robin is not of legal working age!

"He has done a lot of violations of law and discipline, is this one more?"

AI was very speechless and complained about Ada in her mind.

"I think his violent law enforcement is a bigger problem than his child labor problem?"

"We generally ignore this." Ada waved her hand in her mind, and passed the question carelessly, "After all, if it is really pursued, all the vigilantes who are involved in these activities will now have to be locked up in prison. Besides, try them It's a matter of the judicial system, and we ordinary people who are protected by them should not think about it, otherwise it would be nothing... But child labor is the bottom line! Bottom line!"

Nothing else to say.

Ada thought bitterly.

Can you stop dragging minors around the city all day long, children can't stay up late - otherwise they won't grow taller!

"Stop talking about that..."

Ada reached out and stroked Billy's hair again, not that she said, the little boy's hair felt too good.She withdrew her hand, took out her small notebook and ballpoint pen from the storage compartment of the wheelchair, wrote a line of numbers on the paper, tore it off and handed it to Billy.

"This is my mobile phone number. If you have anything to do, you can call me...anything is fine."

The boy put away the note silently, then leaned over and stretched out his arms to hug her.

"I will." His voice was muffled, but he gave her a hug anyway.

……

……

……

That day's apple pie ended up being packed for Billy to take home and share with the other kids in the foster home.

In return, Billy would come to help out when he had free time in the next few days, such as helping with collecting books, putting on box tape, cleaning the table and other small things.

And Ada often invites him to have afternoon tea or dinner together.Saki Seko's cooking skills are very good, and every time he can make the little boy sit on the sofa and can't walk.

Time passed like water, and the luggage that needed to be sent to Gotham was packed and loaded into the moving company's car, and the people arranged by Schneizel put them in their residence in Gotham.

And it's time for Ada and Sakiko to go to Gotham.

The hardest thing about leaving is saying goodbye. Before leaving Philadelphia, Della and his wife specially arranged to close the business for one day and held a farewell party in the fried chicken restaurant.Every one of Ada's friends in Philadelphia showed up, with gifts of all kinds (which led to her having to arrange another delivery later), and countless hugs and kisses.Everyone quarreled until midnight, so that Ada could hardly get out of bed the next day.

Because most of the things have already been sent to Gotham, and the house in Philadelphia is also registered in her name, there is no need to take many things away——on the day of the trip, she and Sakiko only took a commuter bag, which is considered to be a commuter bag. Light and simple in this sense.

She didn't send any friends to see her off, and just got on the train to Gotham.

To be honest, she had a beating heart all the way, and she was very uneasy.It is not only the residual reaction of post-traumatic stress disorder, but also the worry and fear of the unknown future.

Is the city any better than it was when I left?

Is it really as dangerous and scary as the news and the Internet say?

……

……

……

And all these questions were answered after she arrived in Gotham.

——Ada heard the earth-shattering siren before she left the station.

She took a deep breath and pressed the throbbing veins on her forehead expressionlessly.

... well, it's Gotham.
