Issou knew about the mass escape of the Arkham Asylum prisoners.
He also knew that it wasn't just Bruce. Other than his own mother, Coubé, all the superheroes and supervillains went out to help bring the escaped prisoners back to the Arkham Asylum.
However, Izu didn't know that the Clown's name wasn't on the list of criminals that were brought back to Arkham Asylum. Similarly, she didn't know that the Clown, who came to New York only to be rejected by the Clown, was so angry that he almost blew up Wayne Manor when he found out that they were having dinner at Bruce's place.
But it didn't matter if he didn't know.
Anyway, Issou would soon find out.
Because when Barry came to eat at "My Chinese Restaurant" when it was open for business again, he casually mentioned it to her.
"Uh."
When he heard Bari say this, even if he didn't say the result, Issou knew that Joker definitely didn't blow up Weyne Manor.
After all, whether it was the explosion or Weyne Manor.
Both were easy to attract attention.
Not to mention, if they were added together, the effect would definitely be 1 + 1 > 2.
So Issou, who didn't see such a news report, was very sure.
Joker definitely didn't blow up Weyne Manor.
Or rather, he didn't blow it up.
But …
Whether he blew it up or not wasn't the point. Issou felt that the point was —
Joker was targeting Bruce again, right?
"Bruce is so pitiful."
Issou thought to himself.
Although it was normal for Joker to target Batman (Bruce), after all, they represented both sides of Gotham. But the problem was —
Bruce wasn't the only one at this dinner.
So Joker was venting his anger on Bruce's Weyne Manor.
Issou felt that Bruce was purely helping them block Joker's fire.
She heard Issou's sigh.
Even if she didn't say "Bruce is so pitiful,"
Bari could roughly see it from her face, but …
After he learned from Clown about the New Year's Eve dinner last time, the criminals in Arkham Asylum, such as Poison Ivy, were now very curious about the delicious food emitted by superheroes/supervillains.
Bari wasn't surprised that if they continued to investigate, they would trace it back to Issou. After all, the existence of Issou and "My Chinese Restaurant" was becoming more and more obvious.
So …
Bari felt that compared to Bruce, Issou seemed to be more pitiful.
This was because Bruce was targeted by a bunch of supervillains and treated as a big boss that they had to fight on their way to becoming a criminal. But Izu was different. She was a little girl who was terrified when she was targeted by a clown.
"Bari?"
Issou, who didn't know that she was about to be targeted by a group of supervillains, noticed that the young man in front of her seemed to be looking at her strangely. She looked at him a little strangely. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? "
"Uh, no."
Bari quickly shook his head. He wanted to tell Issou about this, but …
Just like when she was targeted by Joker, it didn't seem to be useful to tell her. It would only make her worry.
But if he didn't tell her, Bari was really worried that something like last time would happen again, when Joker came directly to her and caught Issou off guard.
So after thinking about it, Bari changed his mind and said, "Okay, actually there is."
Hearing Bari's change of words, Issou couldn't help but smile. She crossed her arms on the table and leaned forward slightly. Her bright and beautiful eyes contained a gentle smile as she looked at the young man in front of her and said, "Tell me about it."
Meeting Issou's focused gaze, Bari's cheeks were a little hot, so hot that he wanted to take off his vest again.
"Emmmm, there's something that I don't know if I should tell you."
Bari avoided Issou's gaze and said, "If I tell you, I'm afraid that you'll be worried, but if I don't tell you, I'm afraid that you'll be unprepared."
"Pfft."
Issou suddenly couldn't help but laugh, not because of Bari's words, but because the conflicted expression on his face was just too cute. She said, "Then let's not tell you. Although I want to know, you know that with my current combat ability, I can't be too careful even if I'm prepared."
If that was the case, then why bother to satisfy that little bit of curiosity?
Hearing Issou's words, Bari looked up at her. His two dark eyebrows that were originally a little Q furrowed together. He looked at Issou and blinked slightly, then suddenly moved —
"But I want to tell you."
"Issou, do you know that you're about to be targeted by those lunatics from Arkham Asylum?"
"Although you said that you can't be too careful, I'm really worried that you'll be taken away by them."
Bari's body flashed to Issou's side at an extremely fast speed. When he finally returned to his original position, he saw the black-haired girl looking at him with her big, smiling eyes.
"Okay, I won't tell you."
Bari, who pretended that he didn't use his superpower to "tell" Issou what he wanted to say, shrugged at the black-haired girl, and then said, "But Issou, don't worry too much, there won't be any danger."
Bari could guarantee this. After all, Poison Ivy's situation was different from Joker's. Joker didn't have a good impression of Issou from the beginning because his Batboy was seduced by Issou.
However, Poison Ivy's situation was different. First of all, they didn't have the possessiveness that Joker had towards Batman (…), so even though Bruce often came to "my Chinese restaurant" to eat, they didn't know about it. Or rather, they didn't take it to heart even if they accidentally found out.
Secondly, the fragrance that the scarecrow and the others smelled on the way out of prison that day made them yearn for it. Therefore, before they knew and met Issou, they only had curiosity and yearning for the little chef, and didn't have any ill feelings towards her.
Therefore, based on these two points, Bari wasn't too worried that Issou would be in any danger. He was only worried that Poison Ivy's group would scare her if they suddenly came looking for her.
“hiahia~”
Hearing Bari's comforting words, Issou couldn't help but laugh. Her beautiful face looked even more beautiful because of this smile. She said, "You look more worried than I am."
Issou's words made Bari a little embarrassed, especially when he was stared at by her big black and white eyes. For some reason, he felt like he had nowhere to hide.
It wasn't because she could see through his thoughts at a glance, but …
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back and say what he felt.
"So you shouldn't be too worried, Bari."
Issou suddenly reached out and patted Bari's shoulder. Then she said, "And although Superman isn't the guardian of New York, I think … if I'm in danger, he should be able to rush over to save me, right?"
It wasn't that Issou didn't care about the superheroes in New York, but when it came to being on call (…), Clark was obviously the best.
"That's true."
When Bari heard Issou say this, she thought that after Bruce knew that the criminals in Arkham Asylum were interested in Issou, he also mentioned it to Clark.
Although the Justice League and The Avengers were both teams made up of superheroes, there were still big differences. One of them was —
The superheroes in the Justice League all had territorial awareness.
Although they were a team, they usually dealt with things in their own cities. Batman, in particular, didn't like other people interfering in Gotham's affairs.
However, although he didn't like it, it didn't mean that he would refuse help during special times, just like this time.
However …
Bari said to Issou, "I'm faster than Clark."
"Hmm?"
When he heard Bari say this, Issou's first reaction was to blurt out, "It's not good to be too fast."
Bari: "…???"
As soon as he finished speaking, Issou realized that he had unconsciously driven an invisible car. Before Bari could react, he quickly cleared his throat and changed the topic.
She said, "Uh, I mean, I know you're very fast. If you and Clark knew that I was in danger at the same time, you would definitely be the one to get to me faster."
It could be said that Issou had never doubted Bari's speed.
Bari, who was originally paying attention to Issou's words, was immediately distracted when he heard what she said.
Although he knew that Issou was simply stating the truth, but …
Just listening to it made him inexplicably happy.
"Emmmm …"
Bari wanted to control himself, but when he thought of what Issou had just said and met her smiling eyes, he couldn't help but want to laugh. It was as if a honey jar had been knocked over, and sweet honey flowed out of his heart, making him feel like his entire heart was soaked in honey.
Seeing Bari's reaction, the Coubé, who had just arrived at "My Chinese Restaurant" with Wolverine and Logan, raised her eyebrows slightly. That day at the Weyne manor, not many people noticed Bari's youthful charm, but now …
She looked at Barry, who was full of smiles, and then looked at her baby daughter, whose eyes were smiling. The two of them were together. Even though she was not close enough to hear what they were talking about, she could feel the youthfulness and vitality of the two of them just by looking at this scene.
"Mom."
Issou, who was chatting with Bari, glanced at his mother's figure from the corner of his eye. He immediately turned his head and greeted her with a smile. "Why are you here?"
Coubé said matter-of-factly, "I just happened to be hungry."
With that said, she walked towards Issou and the others, then glanced at Bari, who greeted her, and suddenly asked him with a smile, "Are you here to eat? Bari. "
"Uh, yes."
Bari didn't expect Coubé to suddenly ask him, but he quickly reacted after being stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, although the two were a generation apart, this shouldn't have affected Bari much.
After all, in terms of age, Bari was a generation younger than many superheroes, but …
Coubé was Issou's mother, after all.
Bari was thinking of this when he suddenly heard Coubé ask again, "Are you just here to eat? Bari. "
Hearing Coubé say this, Bari subconsciously raised his eyes to look at her. Seeing the teasing smile on her lips, he suddenly felt a little nervous and awkward.
"Uh, not really."
Bari's eyes involuntarily glanced at Issou, then he pretended to be calm and said, "I also have something to ask Issou."
After Coubé heard Bari's words, she responded with a meaningful "oh". Seeing that he looked embarrassed because of her "oh", she couldn't help but laugh.
Issou saw that his mother was teasing Bari like he was her, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes at her and said, "Mom, don't bully Bari."
Although Issou himself also thought that as a mascot, Bari was both likable and bullied, but …
The way he was being bullied really made people's hearts soften.
"So it's my fault?"
When Coubé heard Issou's words, she spread her hands innocently and said, "It's Bari who looks easy to bully."
Bari: "…???"
So it was his fault?
However, no matter how easy it was to bully Bari, Coubé didn't treat him like her precious daughter. After all, he was someone else's child. If he was her own child, it would be a different story.
Bari: "…"
Uh.
In that case …
It was his fault (*/ω\ *).

After Bari left "My Chinese Restaurant", Issou looked at his mother Coubé strangely and asked, "Mom, why did you tease Bari for no reason?"
"Didn't I just say it?"
Coubé raised an eyebrow at her precious daughter and repeated what she just said, "He looks easy to bully."
"Come on."
Issou didn't believe her at all. He said, "Peter and Pietro also look easy to bully. Why didn't you tease them?"
To be honest, although Coubé loved to tease her precious daughter, that was it. After all, just because she liked to tease Issou didn't mean that she liked to tease others.
This didn't mean that Issou wasn't human, but compared to those who liked to tease others, Coubé simply liked to tease a fixed target.
In Coubé's words, was there anyone in the world who was cuter than her precious daughter when teased?
No.
In that case, of course she had to tease the cutest baby girl in the world.
Issou: "…"
She didn't really want this "honor", okay?
Back to the topic, it was precisely because of this reason that Issou felt strange when she saw Coubé teasing Bari. If Bari wasn't present, she would have asked her mother directly.
But it wasn't too late now.
Recalling how Coubé teased Bari just now, Issou glanced at her mother and said, "Mom, teasing Bari like that, don't tell me …"
"Is it because you think he's cuter than me!!?"
Coubé, who once again thought that Issou would say something, was speechless.
"Good girl."
Coubé looked at Issou with a look that said, 'You're making your mother's mind go blank.' She said, "Why would I tease someone else's child?"
Issou retorted matter-of-factly, "Yeah, why would you tease someone else's child?"
Coubé: "…"
She confirmed with her gaze.
