Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

If you were to ask where the most famous hot springs in the world are, many people would probably give different answers.

However, if you ask where the most and most distinctive hot springs are, many people would probably give the standard answer: Japanese hot springs.

After all, Japan is a country built on volcanoes, and its abundant volcanic resources mean that the number of hot springs in Japan is almost the highest in the world.

Aside from Rome, the idea that Japanese people love taking baths is a stereotype almost worldwide, even though it's true that most of them genuinely enjoy it.

If Gu Yi wanted to relax with Doro, she would naturally choose Japan, since the hot springs here are so famous that even mainland hotels here feature them.

As for the issue of identity, it's not a problem at all for a sorcerer like the Ancient One.

After disguising herself as Sherlock, the Ancient One first took Doro to the Continental Hotel to activate the Sherlock VIP card in her hand. After leaving, she returned to her original appearance and once again took Doro to check into the Continental Hotel in Osaka with the Sherlock VIP card.

That's right, it's the Continental Hotel in Osaka that appeared in "Give Me Back My Dog's Life 4".

This mainland hotel is a mixed-use hotel that caters to tourists other than assassins, so even though the Ancient One has Sherlock's VIP card, it won't attract any unnecessary attention.

The reason for choosing this location, besides the hot springs similar to those at Continental Hotels in Tokyo and Nagoya, is that Continental Hotels in Osaka also has some unique features that those two hotels don't have.

Kyoto City.

That's right, the Continental Hotel in Osaka has the best view of the three Continental Hotels in Japan. Since Gu Yi decided to bring Doro to enjoy life, she would naturally choose the one she was most satisfied with.

And as it turns out, the Ancient One's choice was not wrong.

The hot springs filled with Japanese chicken flavor, the massages from beautiful young ladies, and the top-notch services that can be enjoyed at mainland hotels as long as you have enough gold coins made both Gu Yi and Doro extremely satisfied.

Even the hotels in mainland China were very pleased with the arrival of the two. After all, Doro's appearance is inexplicably popular in a country like Japan, which is almost entirely steeped in anime culture, not to mention that Doro himself is also very cute.

Everything was normal up to this point, even quite ordinary.

An ordinary trip, an ordinary vacation, an ordinary outing.

The reason why Doro debuted directly in Japan was actually due to their subsequent trip together.

Since it's a vacation, you can't just stay in a hotel on the mainland and soak in hot springs and get massages all the time, right? So in her spare time, Gu Yi would take Doro out for a stroll and try some local food.

Because of its small land area, Japan likes to create so-called limited editions or special products for many things.

It has even evolved to the point where each district of a city has its own specialties and exclusive products.

Although it sounds absurd, this situation fascinated Doro and the Ancient One. With the ability of teleportation, the Ancient One and Doro made sweeping up so-called local specialties and limited editions a daily routine, apart from strolling around.

As a result, the two of them traveled to most parts of Osaka in just a few days.

However, both of them subconsciously overlooked one thing: their bald heads and anime-like appearances were simply too eye-catching.

In less than three days, an urban legend about the two had already emerged in Osaka, and this urban legend reached its peak when the Ancient One and Doro went to attend a local anime festival in Osaka.

With such fame, the result was that a talent scout mustered up the courage to approach the Ancient One and hand her his business card.

The Ancient One was not a serious person to begin with. In fact, if you really want to compare them, the Ancient One was not much different from the Old Master of Longhu Mountain. After hearing that the other party wanted Doro to debut, the Ancient One asked Doro for a while and after receiving Doro's affirmation, she actually agreed.

The reason she agreed was simply because the Ancient One thought it was fun!

And so, in a completely inexplicable process, Doro embarked on the path of becoming an idol, even though Doro himself didn't know what an idol was.

What's absurd is that in any other country, someone like Doro, who looks like a creature from an anime, might not be liked by everyone. But here in Japan, a place where anime culture has taken root.

The release of Doro immediately caused a huge earthquake in this country.

Two-dimensional creatures have come to life in the real world!

As a country that has given birth to abstract concepts like virtual idols, the emergence of Doro is something that Japan simply cannot refuse.

Therefore, in less than a day, the name Doro had reached the ears of almost all the otaku in Japan.

Doro himself was also standing on stage for the first time. With his chubby little hands holding the microphone, he shouted "Human~~~" and the whole Japanese team started to boil over.

Even the Ancient One herself didn't expect that Doro would inexplicably become the number one idol in Japan, and the thing that everyone in Japan wanted to do most was to take Doro home and raise him themselves.

Fortunately, the contract she signed with the agency was in her own hands, so Gu Yi could terminate the cooperation with the agency at any time, which meant that Gu Yi did not have any worries about the future.

As for why, despite the immense popularity, the Ancient One didn't leave with Doro but instead stayed in Japan with him?

The reason is simple: it's fun!

The Ancient One has lived for so long and has never been a manager. Although Doro has not lived as long as the Ancient One, this is truly his first time standing on stage and singing.

Therefore, both Gu Yi and Doro had a great time, even forgetting that they had only originally wanted to come to the hot springs to soak in the hot springs and enjoy a massage from the ladies.

If Sherlock hadn't appeared before them through the Anywhere Door with a dark expression, the two might have already planned to break out of Japan, leave Asia, and conquer the world.

"So, this is how you train Doro?"

After Sherlock appeared before the Ancient One with a dark expression, he pointed to Doro, who was wearing sunglasses and a gold chain, holding an adorable microphone, and swaying from side to side with the music, and launched into a soul-searching question at the Ancient One.

As Sherlock's voice appeared, Doro, who had been immersed in the music, immediately threw down the microphone and rushed into Sherlock's arms.

"Human~ ...

Sherlock was very amiable when facing Doro. He caught Doro as he pounced on him and, without hesitation, removed all of Doro's accessories and threw them on the ground. After giving the Ancient One a fierce glare, he turned and left with Doro.

As the pink Anywhere Door disappeared in front of the Ancient One, she shrugged indifferently and muttered to herself.

"The little guy seems a bit angry. Oh well, I'll make it up to him later!"

After saying that, Gu Yi started making phone calls to her agency, and it seemed that idol Doro's acting career was going to be temporarily over.
