"Go … to Gotham?"
Issou originally thought that Bruce and Bari were simply visiting "My Chinese Restaurant" together.
But who knew that Bruce would ask her this question out of the blue.
The black-haired girl immediately raised her head and looked at him.
With a look of surprise on her face, she asked,
"Why do you ask all of a sudden?"
A long time ago,
During Bruce's first visit to "My Chinese Restaurant", Zhang Zian
He once mentioned that he wanted to open a Chinese restaurant in Gotham,
And invited her to be the head chef.
Even if Bruce was just joking, the black-haired girl believed that with his financial resources,
If she agreed, he would be able to open a Chinese restaurant in Gotham in a few days.
However, considering the "simple" culture of Gotham, Issou still refused.
She just didn't expect that after that, Bruce would always mention this matter from time to time when he came to "My Chinese Restaurant".
Although she had rejected him every time, he seemed to have the intention of fighting again and again despite repeated defeats.
In the end,
The black-haired girl suspected that Bruce was simply asking out of habit, like an office worker who had to clock in.
But Issou never thought that Bruce would come to "My Chinese Restaurant" today.
He didn't ask about the Chinese restaurant he opened for her in Gotham,
Whether she agreed to be the head chef or not,
Instead, he asked her if she planned to go to Gotham.
Issou, "…"
Was this a new way to clock in?
"Because I've been thinking about a question."
Hearing that Issou didn't directly agree or refuse, Bruce wasn't surprised at all. He put his hands on his chin and looked up at the black-haired girl in front of him. His handsome face showed an expression that was more serious than Bruce "Playboy" Weyne.
Then Issou heard him say, "Issou, why don't you come to Gotham to be the head chef of the Chinese restaurant I opened for you?"
Issou: "…???"
Was it true?
Did he not know why she had rejected him?
The black-haired girl glanced at Bruce with a look that said, "You should know what I'm thinking, right?". However, Issou thought that Bruce was "clueless", so he pretended not to understand what she meant. He continued, "After thinking about it, I finally figured out the reason."
At this point, Bruce, who had been looking at Issou, revealed a smile. Even if he was a frivolous and debauched second-generation rich kid, it had to be said that he was really good-looking.
But thinking about it, if Bruce was ugly, then no matter how rich he was, he couldn't have stepped on Tony, the richest man in New York, to become the most popular man in America.
Therefore, even though the two girls, Wanda and Clarice, who didn't know that Bruce was Batman, couldn't help but be attracted to him when they saw the smile on his face.
It wasn't that they liked Bruce, it was just that they admired beautiful things.
Even Wanda and Clarice were attracted to him, let alone Issou, who knew Bruce's true identity.
However, the next second, the words that came out of Bruce's mouth suddenly woke up the black-haired girl who was obsessed with his beauty.
What did Bruce say?
He said, "Issou, it must be because you haven't fully appreciated the benefits of Gotham, so you keep rejecting me."
Issou: "…!!!???"
Was he serious?
It was because she understood Ge Tan's "goodness" that she rejected him so resolutely!
Seeing Bruce spouting nonsense with a straight face, the black-haired girl's expression suddenly became a little dumbfounded. She said, "Bruce, you know the situation in Gotham."
To be honest, Issou really didn't know why Bruce never gave up on the idea of opening a Chinese restaurant for her in Gotham and letting her be the head chef.
What?
Didn't Bruce already tell you the reason before you asked him?
…
…
…
Oh.
Issou expressed that he didn't believe a single word.
Hearing Issou's words, Bruce raised one of his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "You're thinking too much, Issou, Gotham isn't as dangerous as you think."
Hearing Bruce's words, not only Issou, but Bari also silently looked up at the ceiling.
"Pfft."
Seeing Bari's honest reaction, Issou couldn't help but laugh. Bruce, who was sitting next to the mascot, saw this and subconsciously looked at Bari.
Bari, who was originally looking up at the ceiling, noticed Bruce's gaze and subconsciously straightened his neck, then turned his head to look at him. He saw his teammate give him a rather friendly (threatening) smile. Bari: "… My, my neck was a little sore just now."
Hearing Bari's words, Bruce looked at him speechlessly. It wasn't because of his actions just now, but because …
If you don't know how to smooth things over, then don't learn from others.
"Why don't you think about who I invited Issou to Gotham for?"
Bruce said, "Bari, have you forgotten about the banquet in two days?"
Bari, who didn't know about the banquet, "…???"
However, although Bruce's words were directed at Bari, they were actually directed at Issou. When the black-haired girl looked over curiously, he explained, "In two days, the Weyne Group will hold a banquet, and Bari is also invited."
Bari, who didn't receive an invitation, "…???"
"Originally, I planned to invite Issou to be my female companion, but after considering Bari's situation, I had to reluctantly give this opportunity to him."
Bruce couldn't help but look at Bari. The expression on his face and eyes showed everyone how disappointed he was. He said, "But who knew that Bari is still too embarrassed to invite you to be his female companion. In order to prevent him from attending the banquet alone in two days, I had to come with him today."
After explaining (fabricating) the "ins and outs" of this matter to Izu, Bruce threw a glance at Barry as if to say, "Hey, let me tell you."
This is as far as I can help you, brother.
Bari: "…"
No wonder Diana said that the Drama Alliance was supported by Bruce and Clark. Bari might not have believed it before, but now …
He had to believe it.
Because Bruce was a drama queen who could single-handedly support an entire drama.
In the beginning, Barry was confused. After all, Bruce had never acted with him before, nor did he inform him in advance. Thus, he was suddenly cued by Bruce.
But now that he had come to this part of the play, he had no choice but to finish it.
So when Issou's gaze shifted from Bruce to him, Bari said embarrassedly, "Uh, is Issou free in two days? I mean … "
He looked at Issou and asked, "Can you be my female companion?"
The reason why Bari was embarrassed was that he and Bruce teamed up to trick Issou, and it was also because he invited Issou to be his female companion.
Disregarding everything else, this alone was enough to make him a little embarrassed.
The black-haired girl had always felt that there was a reason why Bari was called the mascot of the Justice League. It was because his smile was so warm, like a small sun, it warmed people's hearts just by looking at it.
And at this moment, this mascot that could warm people's hearts was looking at you with an embarrassed but expectant gaze ….
Issou: "…"
Wow.
He didn't give her a chance to refuse at all, okay?
To be honest, Issou was still thinking about whether Bruce was telling the truth or not. After all, considering that Bruce was a drama queen, the black-haired girl felt that she had a lot of reasons to doubt him.
But when she saw Bari, Issou …
Issou felt that it didn't matter whether Bruce was telling the truth or not. What was important was —
Even if it was fake, no one would refuse a mascot like Bari, right?
After all, his puppy-like eyes were simply adorable.
"Emmmm …"
Issou nodded and agreed. "Okay."
When Bari heard Issou's answer, the nervous expression on his face was suddenly replaced by a warm smile. His eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Really?"
However, as soon as he said this, he felt that his rhetorical question was too lame. He scratched his head embarrassedly, then said to Issou, "Then I'll pick you up the day after tomorrow."
Seeing the smile on Bari's face, Issou couldn't help but be infected by him. He curled his lips and made an OK gesture to him, then said, "No problem, I'll wait for you."
#
When Issou agreed to be his female companion and attend the banquet with him, Bari was naturally happy. However, when the black-haired girl took their order back to the kitchen, he had to consider a particularly realistic question. "Bruce, as far as I know, the Weyne Group isn't holding any banquet in two days, right?"
He invited Issou now, and she agreed, but what about two days later?
"Yeah."
Bruce nodded. Logically speaking, the Weyne Group wasn't holding any banquet in two days, but …
That was logically speaking, so on the other hand —
Logically speaking, there was a banquet in two days, right?
Bari: "…???"
Was that even possible?
"Don't worry, it's just a banquet."
Bruce said to Bari while texting someone on his phone. He said, "I'll get someone to prepare a banquet that's simpler than the clothes you're going to prepare for the banquet."
Bari: "…"
Wow.
As expected of a man who used money as his superpower.
However …
Bari asked, "Why didn't we just tell Issou the truth just now?"
"What truth?"
After Bruce sent the text, he raised his head and glanced at the Chinese restaurant. Because it was lunchtime, "My Chinese Restaurant" had customers coming in one after another, so no one was paying attention to them at the moment.
He said, "Tell her that because of me, she's being targeted by Joker?"
Bruce lowered his voice to make sure that only Bari, who was next to him, could hear him. "Do you think that telling this to Issou will make any difference?"
