[Western Crossover] Neighborland's Top Salesman, but Also a Batkid

Hello, I'm a top salesperson for a language-learning app.

My current job is to promote our app in different worlds.

This time, I'm supposed to promote it in a city called Gotham.

To make the most of our local advantages, the company forged a paternity test to help me successfully infiltrate Wayne Enterprises.

This is a small step for the app, but a giant leap for me.

But work doesn't always go smoothly.

Wayne Enterprises is a powerful corporation in every respect, with an impressive track record and strength. But the Wayne family doesn't keep dead weight around, and almost every day there's a grand drama of family infighting.

The head of the Wayne family is a playboy who seems to believe in more children, more blessings. He's adopted a lot of kids, and apparently they all have a claim to the inheritance.

My assessment: this man is deeply calculating and nasty by nature. He pretends to be an idiot while coldly watching his adopted sons fight over the family fortune, and enjoys every minute of it.

His adopted sons are no pushovers either.

The eldest is trying to infiltrate the justice system, the second has tangled with the local criminal underworld, the third worked his way into the company and rose to prominence, and the youngest is the only one who inherited the Wayne name.

I can suddenly understand the playboy. Who wouldn't love top-tier family drama?

But how am I supposed to explain that I'm only here to promote the app, and have no intention of fighting over the inheritance?

As the company's only top salesperson, with great ability comes great responsibility.

While expanding into new markets, I've also taken on promotional assignments in other timelines.

Young people these days really are worse with every generation. No skills, and no willingness to learn.

What do you mean I can't make sales if the world is ending? What do you mean the Injustice and Darkest timelines are no place for a human being?

I've been the company's top salesperson for ten years. What haven't I seen?

Uh, all right. There are still a few things I haven't seen.

Allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Dominic Kay Wayne, codename Night Heron.

I'm twelve years old.

My job is to launch and promote a language-learning app.

I've been the company's top salesperson for ten years running.

After traveling through multiple dimensions and timelines, it's finally my turn to think about this question.

How am I supposed to balance my career and my family? :)

Oh, by the way, our app is called Duolingo. Would you be interested in learning more? (laughs)

"It's perfectly normal to call people your brother to make a sale"

"Pretending to be a rich man's son isn't a bad idea"

"What do you mean the paternity test I forged is actually real?"

A little skit:

Little Do: Why is this Gotham rich guy in every timeline? I need to get plastic surgery so he can't find me and drag me down...

Some rich guy: (money drops)

Little Do: Father!! I'm your son, lost across multiple timelines!!

* Unlimited chapter comments are open

* The protagonist is sharp-tongued but soft-hearted with his own people

* The protagonist has been given cheat powers, so rest assured

* Family-focused, probably a slow burn early on, with a little angst later

[Western Crossover] Detectives and Phantom Thieves Are Made for Each Other

They first met at school. Ren Amamiya sat beside him.

A student from Japan, with a slight accent, large glasses, and decent grades. He fit the stereotypical image of an Asian student perfectly.

Except for the fact that he secretly brought a cat to school.

"Please keep my secret." The new student blinked innocently.

Tim realized that the new student's eyelashes were very long.

By the time he came to his senses, Ren Amamiya had become his regular seatmate throughout college.

The second time they met was at a chance encounter during patrol, at a coffee shop whose distinctive, rich aroma drifted through the door and out onto the street.

Red Robin's eyes were nearly shut, but he followed his instincts into the shop and saw a young man behind the counter.

In his hands, making coffee was a performance art. The aroma seemed to blossom from his fingertips.

Red Robin almost thought he was falling in love, with coffee.

After that, the coffee shop became Red Robin's most frequent haunt.

And so Tim enjoyed a happy life: petting his seatmate's cat in class by day, then drinking delicious coffee after class at night.

Until he met that damn phantom thief.

Red calling cards fluttered down from the sky. A thief who shared a codename with a certain criminally insane villain stood atop a skyscraper, smiling provocatively at the world's second-best detective below.

"I'm the phantom thief who steals hearts, JOKER."

"The world's second-best detective? Come and catch me if you can. I'll give you the truth you want, if you're up to it."

*

With a certain goal in mind, Ren Amamiya came to the city called Gotham and began college.

And, while he was at it, continued his career as a phantom thief.

He went to class and petted cats by day, made coffee after school, and became a phantom thief at night. He also rescued the people around him who were caught in difficult situations.

He stole the twisted desires of evil people and made them reform. There was no semblance of procedural justice, but to JOKER, this was justice.

Until he met the world's second-best detective, whose intelligence and willpower were both maxed out.

He fretfully asked his cat partner about it. He thought he might like that detective a little.

The cat was shocked and asked him, "What about your seatmate, then?"

JOKER thought for two seconds and made his choice.

There was no helping it. He'd have to date them both.

* Written while playing P5R, a work to lift your spirits. The main story contains a little bit of chuuni stuff, but I'll do my best to make it understandable even if you haven't played the game.

* A sweet 1v1 romance, about a hot-blooded young couple who save the universe on impulse

* Ren embodies both outrageous banter and a nurturing, motherly side, with all five stats maxed out

* The blurb may be revised

A little skit:

Tim thinks his seatmate is a bit like Harry Potter.

Messy black curls, thick glasses, living in an attic, and a close little animal companion.

Besides that, his seatmate has plenty of other distinctive qualities.

For instance, he has long eyelashes, is a great cook, and will grant every request made by the people around him, accepting others as a mother would.

But when he smiles, he's unexpectedly cocky.

I want to kiss him.

Theme: I love work. Work makes me happy.
