[Western Crossover] A Bat Kid? I'm Not One!

Hello, my name is Qingshui Luo.

I am a collection of melodramatic quotes.

Yes, that's right.

I am a book... a... book spirit.

My former owner brought me to Gotham, and I successfully became a spirit there.

Gotham really is a wonderful place (sigh).

There is just one thing I don't like.

Now I can only write melodramatic stories online to earn royalties and support myself.

Because melodramatic stories are all I know how to write.

And I've discovered that the more melodramatic stories I write, the stronger I become.

I thought my days would pass with me writing melodramatic stories, getting readers to complain that the plots were too melodramatic, and having them want to beat me up in person.

Haha, what can I say? Gotham readers are so enthusiastic (another sigh).

Then suddenly, one day...

My home was blown up.

A man came crashing in from outside.

A dark-haired human man who looked like he was about to die.

As a book spirit, I can't bear to watch a human life fade away right before my eyes.

If he died, who would compensate me for my house and my losses?

So I healed him.

Using the abilities of the CEO's doctor friend from a melodramatic CEO novel.

Yes, I can use abilities from melodramatic stories.

Like changing my hair and eye color, or making myself smell like all kinds of pheromones, or... ahem.

Anyway, I saved that man.

Before he left, the man gave me a long, deep look, then transferred a huge sum of money to me.

I looked at the money and waved enthusiastically, telling him to come back anytime.

And he really did come back.

Though it wasn't the same person, it made no difference to me.

It seemed the man had even brought some kind of human paternity test report.

I looked at him, then at myself in the mirror.

Suddenly, I understood.

Sure, we both have black hair and blue eyes, but that doesn't mean we're related!

The man shook his head and pushed the report toward me.

I tentatively changed my hair color, turning it into a rainbow of bright colors.

The man's expression changed. He was silent for a moment, then stubbornly pushed the report toward me again.

With no other choice, I lowered my head and glanced at it.

I skipped over a whole pile of things I couldn't understand, and my eyes caught just one line: "The two are determined to be biologically related."

I thought for a long time.

How could a book spirit be biologically related to a human?

Could it be...

I slowly raised my head and looked at him.

Was he the originator of melodramatic novels!?

N-no, that's not right.

Aren't I the spirit of a collection of melodramatic quotes?

How could I have a human father?

Besides, this test is completely useless for me!!

Because of the genius, adorable kid trope in melodramatic stories, where the child searches for their CEO dad,

any CEO's blood would match mine!!

Huh?

A CEO?

I looked at the man in front of me and fell into deep thought.

Then... maybe... it wouldn't be so bad?

After living comfortably in a mansion for a while,

I seemed to discover a little secret among the "siblings and father."

Looking at all that equipment and the wounds on their bodies,

I fell into deep thought once again.

You humans... do you really fight this hard just to inherit a wealthy family fortune?

The main story is in third person. It's a melodramatic comedy, and there probably won't be any shadowy mastermind or anything like that. Just a simple, easygoing, healing story.

OOC is on me! The timeline will probably be a mess, and there will be lots of headcanons!! Just switch off your brain and enjoy it as a silly slice-of-life comedy.

----No writing advice, and no need to tell me if you're dropping the story. If you read pirated copies, I'll hate you forever!

I'll check for typos after the story is complete. I don't really read comments while it's ongoing.

Possible content warnings:

Includes spirits and matriarchal tribes. Some spirit tribes follow a female-dominant setting, though they don't take up much of the story and aren't important to the plot. If this bothers you, read with caution (heart).
