Chapter 8

After getting the news about Damian from Seth, Mia took the birds and set off to the place where the Bat Cow lived.

She hummed as she walked on the road, and the birds sang beside her. They sang about what happened yesterday and their joy that they would have hot dogs soon. They were convinced that their food could be replaced with hot dogs.

"I really wish he could put some ketchup on our hot dogs, I love tomatoes," one of the birds said.

It stopped on Mia's shoulder and sang in a clear voice about the last time he and another group of birds went to the farm to eat tomatoes. The bright colors and sweet and sour taste made it right after that time. It never forgets.

Another little bird was singing a song about bread. When it was staying in the city, it saw that humans used two pieces of bread to sandwich hot dogs. "That must be very delicious!" it concluded.

"But Miss Tamer, are hot dogs really delicious?" Suddenly a little bird asked, and it landed on Mia's hand, tilting its head and looking at her with a puzzled expression, "We haven't eaten hot dogs yet. Dog."

The other birds stopped singing as if they were awakened after hearing her question. The birds flying in the air fell on her hands and arms... with inquiring eyes. Look at her.

"Is it delicious? Is it delicious?" the little bird who likes to repeat a sentence asked cheerfully. It was the first one to notice Mia waking up this morning.

"What does a hot dog taste like, Miss Tamer?" asked another bird who could only continue to fly in the air because Mia's hand had no space.

"I hope it's sweet and sour, just like tomatoes!" shouted the little bird that likes tomatoes. It spread its wings to express its joy, but because the space was too small - it still stayed in the rice On Ya's shoulder - it could only fly into the air first and then continue its previous actions.

"No, it's not. The seagull said it's not sweet. It's not like the fruits we eat." The bird standing on Mia's hand denied, but because there were too many birds on her hand (about three Four), and they were all discussing, so Mia didn't recognize who had just said that.

But she nodded in agreement, "Yes, it's completely different from tomatoes." Mia said.

"Then what does it smell like?" After hearing Mia's words, the birds began to return to the original question.

"...I don't know how to describe it." Mia replied discouragedly after thinking about it for a while, "I only know that it is delicious." "

Oh, that's enough!" the birds said happily, they He flew to the roadside and picked a flower and put it in her hand. The clear and melodious singing sounded in her ears again, "Thank you for telling us the news, Miss Tamer!" The little one who gave her the flower said the bird.

It sped up and flew to the branch in front of them, and other birds also flew up. Some of them landed on the fence, and some stood on the back of the bat cow... The chirping sound was heard in this small cow. The sound in the shed was like a warning to Damian that someone was now here.

He turned and looked at Mia, who was standing at the door. She had that silly smile on her face and was visibly relieved when she saw him. "I'm so glad you're still here, Damian. I When I heard what Seth said, I was worried that you had already left." She said to him cheerfully.

This made Damian confused. He didn't understand why Mia came to him. In the past few days, they didn't actually spend much time with each other - most of the time he stayed with the Teen Titans or with Xiao Qiao. After all, you have to know that those villains don't have summer vacation.

Mia spends most of her time in the restaurant reading, playing games, or doing other things. Here she can enjoy Ah Fu feeding her for the first time.

Occasionally, she would help Alfred prepare desserts, but it was more like playing than helping. After all, as a child, all she could do was help him press the mold onto the dough.

However, it would be a bit boring to simply press out those shaped cookies, so after obtaining Alfred's consent, Mia successfully turned this mechanical project into her own creative process.

She shaped the dough into various shapes as if playing with clay, and then arranged them neatly on the baking sheet.

The orange light shone on them, and the rich butter fragrance began to fill the air, which made Mia swallow her saliva. She squatted in front of the oven while Alfred prepared the tea they would drink later.

It was always great to have afternoon tea just the two of them on this summer afternoon.

And Bruce, who saw his share of weird cookies that afternoon:? ? ?

——And there is Seth, who is a cat and cannot speak yet. But Damian soon put this doubt aside. After all, Seth is a very smart cat and he can show her the way.

So he just asked her what she wanted from him.

"I just have something to discuss with you." Mia said happily. She's also excited that the birds will soon be able to taste the hot dogs.

"What's the matter?" Damian asked. He didn't pay too much attention to what she said. In his opinion, those things were probably trivial matters such as whether he could do homework with her or play together.

"Have you ever thought about replacing the food for the birds with hot dogs?"

Damian:?

"Oh, by the way, I guess it's been a while since the last time you milked the bat cow, so I suggest you milk him." I just heard the bat cow say that he needs to be milked Mia shrugged and continued.

Damian:? ? ?

The birds didn't get the hot dogs in the end.

Damian rejected her offer. He frowned and looked at her with a scrutinizing look, as if he was looking at something unexpected.

This made Mia confused, but it was just doubtful. She didn't have the intention to care about it now. The disappointed voices of the birds sounded in her ears, and she also became a little depressed.

"Then have you ever thought about changing some other food for them?" She continued to try unwillingly, but all she got was Damian's inquiry, and he asked her why she wanted to change food for them.

"Because they said they were tired of it," Mia answered. She looked at the ground with disappointment, the kind of feeling that she had not fulfilled her promise to others - although she only promised the birds that she would talk to Damian about food, and did not promise them that this matter would definitely succeed, but this Along the way, she had already automatically upgraded it to the point where she had to let them eat hot dogs - the guilt caused by it made her a little embarrassed to look at the birds again.

And this also allowed her to successfully miss Damian's expression. He looked at her, and then at the little bird standing on the back of the bat cow. It looked at him with its eyes open. Those disappointments and frustrations were conveyed through the eyes, making people wonder why a little bird could still There are such mixed emotions.

And this also gave Damian a guess, that is, Mia can actually understand animal speech.

This is not an unfounded guess. Judging from what just happened, such a conclusion can be easily deduced. After all, you have to know that not everyone brings several birds with them when they appear on the stage. It sounds like some kind of fairy tale.

And when she said they were tired of the food, the birds chimed in, landing from the trees on the fence or on her shoulders, their chirps filling the cowshed as a sign of approval.

And the bat cow. As a cow, of course it needs to be milked, and it's true that he hasn't milked it for a long time, but the question is, how did Mia know about this.

As a child who grew up in the city, she had never seen a cow at all, let alone judged whether it needed milking based on its condition. She wasn't some small town boy who grew up on a farm.

But when he told his brothers this conjecture, they just nodded casually and went on to do their own things.

This made Damian frown, "We should investigate this matter." He shouted at them in annoyance.

But no one except Dick paid attention to him. In fact, even Dick, when he heard him say that Mia could talk to animals, he just looked at him with that cute expression, and asked him to talk to Mia. Get along with.

This made Damian angry. After realizing he was getting no useful feedback from his brother, he stormed off to his father.

He was stunned for a moment when he heard what he said, then stopped typing on the keyboard and turned to look at him, with hesitation on his expression.

"I have to remind you, there are already enough animals in the manor, Damian." Just as he was talking about his plan, Bruce suddenly said, he interrupted him, with a little helplessness in his tone, "And you already have a zoo. If you want to see those animals, you can just ask Mia or Joe to go there with you. I believe they will be very willing to go with you." Damian:

? ? ?

Damian suddenly realized what Bruce was thinking: "Father!!!!"

Mia didn't know anything about what happened to Damian, but she probably wouldn't care even if she knew. After all, she didn't know what happened today. He is no longer a trainer, but an adventurer.

When she got up from the bed, she saw that the circus supplies she had hidden in the cloakroom had disappeared, and were replaced by maps posted on the wall, a fully filled travel bag next to the cabinet, and a Was a little disappointed when looking at the table log. This means she can no longer understand the animals.

But soon Mia sorted out her mood and continued to look at the diary - after all, this kind of thing often happened after she inherited the wish.

The friends she was playing with the day before disappeared the next day (although there was still a chance that she would see them, but that was different). In the end, she was the only one who could remember what she had finally accomplished... Mom

told In order to prevent her wife and grandmother from being regarded as a witch by others, the elf specially used a blind trick when realizing her wish, so that everyone would selectively ignore or forget those abnormal things, such as those strange things. occupations and abilities.

"Although I don't remember what you experienced, I know that it must have been a great adventure." Her mother smiled and touched her head. She looked at Mia who looked disappointed and thought about it. After a while, he continued, "Okay, okay, don't be sad. In order to reward you for experiencing those adventures, how about I allow you to eat two sticks of ice cream today?" "Just

two sticks?" Mia pursed her lips and said, She lay on the dining table and looked up at her mother. She nodded after hearing her words, "Of course it's just two, no more." She said firmly, while also giving her a "2" sign. gesture.

The sun shone through the glass on the food in front of them, and the chirping of birds came from the window. They were saying something, but to Mia now, it was no different from the chirping of ordinary birds.

So she just glanced at the little birds that landed on the balcony - they no longer remembered the animal trainer lady who went with them to discuss food with the Wayne family's youngest son. For them, Mia is now Just some familiar strangers - and then opened the diary in her hand.

The diary states that she left home a few years ago and started her own adventure. So far, she has been to many places and met many friends. Today, she made an appointment with her friend Dora, and they We will go together to find the legendary treasure.

Mia: Wow, cool!
