Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Immersed in alchemy, Sherlock completely forgot about the presence of another creature in his room. His mind and eyes were entirely focused on the artifact on the table, and he devoted himself to repairing it.

Doro, who had been playing by himself in the room for a while, stopped running and looked up in Sherlock's direction after sensing the alchemical light coming from Sherlock's direction.

Seeing Sherlock engrossed in his own world, Doro actually stood up, put his hands on his hips, and sighed helplessly.

Although his small face was full of helplessness and sighs, Doro's cute and abstract body, coupled with his distinctly different anime art style, made everyone realize that Doro was actually extremely distressed, but they could only sigh at how adorable he was.

As the creator of Doro, Sherlock knows Sherlock's temperament all too well. It's obvious that Sherlock, so immersed in alchemy, is simply impossible to wake up!

This is the result that Doro himself came to after countless attempts!

Fortunately, this wasn't the first time Doro had experienced something like this, so he naturally knew how to handle it.

Speaking of this, we have to mention Sherlock's attitude towards Doro.

Although Sherlock is Doro's creator, and because of the setting, Doro can neither be called a human nor a dog, although Sherlock always treats Doro as a pet in name, he actually loves Doro like a child.

It is precisely because of this that Sherlock never restricted Doro's scope of activities, allowing Doro to develop freely.

As for whether outsiders would react upon seeing Doro, Sherlock wasn't too worried about that, since the community where Sherlock lived was considered an extremely high-end community in the United States.

Furthermore, due to the unique national circumstances, the residents here generally have little contact with the authorities unless they encounter danger.

As for Doro's unique art style? This is Marvel! Over the years, people have seen all sorts of monsters and demons, and compared to those monsters and demons, Doro can be said to have accurately struck a chord with everyone's hearts.

So almost everyone in the community treats Doro as Sherlock's adopted mascot. From the elderly to the young children, everyone has the same attitude towards Doro: they like him, he's cute, and they want to pet him!

Furthermore, all the residents of this community are either extremely wealthy or powerful. Even those who appear ordinary are likely to be highly capable. Doro's social circle would be considered terrifying in the United States.

Nevertheless, aside from situations like the Ancient One being "rented out," Doro never left Sherlock's vicinity at home.

In this situation, Sherlock's neighbors became the place where Doro appeared most frequently, apart from Sherlock's house.

Furthermore, Doro is more friendly to his right neighbor than to the one on his left.

Therefore, after seeing Sherlock engrossed in his own world, Doro sighed helplessly before taking off on his short legs and running towards the outside of Sherlock's room.

Despite Doro's abstract art style, he is incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, Doro had already run out of Sherlock's house, and after exiting the gate, he turned right without the slightest hesitation.

Doro skillfully crossed the yard and stopped in front of her neighbor's door. She raised her soft, white little hand and gently knocked on the door.

"Hey, Doro's here to see you!"

As Doro called out in his childish voice, the tightly closed door of the house was opened from the inside, and a man appeared behind the door. The moment he saw Doro, he excitedly picked her up and rubbed his bearded face against Doro's jelly-like cheeks.

"Oh, little Doro, where have you been? Did you miss your Uncle Wick?"

Upon hearing the man's words, Doro tried to push away the man's bearded face while speaking to him in a childish voice.

"Doro went out to play! Doro was taken away by someone else through a sparking circle to play somewhere else!"

Hearing Doro's reply, the man was about to say something more and continue to bury himself in Doro, inhaling her breath for the long time he hadn't seen her in so long, when he was interrupted by a female voice from behind him.

"John, if you bully Doro again, I'll deal with you right now!"

As she spoke, the woman came to John's side and snatched Doro from his arms, leaving John with only an innocent look on his face, his expression full of helplessness and grievance.

"Okay, Helen, but I don't admit I bullied little Doro!"

Hearing John's shameless words, the woman named Helen glared at him angrily, then picked up Doro and walked into the house.

Yes, you read that right. This bearded man, who acts like a goofy old father when facing Doro, is none other than Zhao Weike, the killer who went on to kill across three movies in "Give Me Back My Dog's Life".

Unlike in the movie, Zhao Weike has not lost his beloved wife, nor has he adopted the beagle named Daisy. Instead, Doro has become the couple's darling, and they even treat Doro like a daughter.

The reason why Zhao Weike has such a happy life now is actually because of Sherlock.

When Sherlock first arrived in the world, Zhao Weike, who hadn't yet retired from the military, took good care of Sherlock, who had just moved in, under Helen's guidance. Seeing that Sherlock lived alone, Helen, the woman who could tame a killing machine, often invited Sherlock over for meals. Over time, the two families became acquainted.

Sherlock, in return, contributed many alchemical items to Zhao Weike's impossible mission upon his retirement, which freed Zhao Weike from the constraints of the blood pact, allowing him to successfully retire and become a living legend in the assassin world.

It was precisely because of this that the two families developed a deeper friendship. Zhao Weike and Helen were the people who knew Sherlock's secret best, and were also Sherlock's only friends since he traveled through time.

Even after Helen fell ill, it was Sherlock who used a sliver of the Philosopher's Stone's power to successfully heal her.

Supported by such a bond, the couple were almost the best people to Doro, aside from Sherlock, even more so than the Ancient One.

The only problem is that Sherlock gets goosebumps every time he sees Zhao Weike's greasy, doting fatherly demeanor towards Doro.

It's hard to imagine that the man who slaughtered his way through the entire assassin world for a dog would actually make such a greasy face and utter such a grating sound when he saw Doro.

Sherlock even suspected that Zhao Weike was trying to take Doro's custody from him!
