The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"...Hmm?"

The girl's eyelashes suddenly fluttered, making Tina, whose eyes were brimming with tears, smile with delight. Even though she knew in her heart that Tina's condition was still terrible.

As if in a final burst of energy, hearing the call of a loved one, the owl slowly opened its eyes.

She saw 'Tina laughing' and 'Tina crying'. When the two most adorable expressions were put together, they became even more tender and cute, making it hard to scold her.

"Sorry... I accidentally fell asleep." The girl's eyes sparkled with surprise. "Tina's still alive, that's so good..."

"You've finally woken up... But what have you done... Did I ever agree to you self-destructing your chip?!... Waaah... Even though my dying wish was to 'live well,' you still so decisively chose to die...! All those words about 'how important you are to me' were just lies after all...!"

A hint of anger, yet containing a carefully chosen, perfectly measured tenderness; her misty eyes, so clear and radiant that even the stars in the sky would hide in shame.

...I've never seen Tina like this before...So...happy...

"Hey... Tina-chan..."

Without regret, without pain, her smile bright and pure like a cloud, Tina's gaze fixed on the girl from below, her voice barely audible to the girl before her:

"Quite the opposite, it's all the truth. I love everything about you... your name, your personality, your background, your heart, your body... I love Tina from the inside out, so when I learned that Tina was dead, I couldn't wait to die... because I wanted to be with you forever, because I wanted to know more about your secrets..."

The girl's voice choked with emotion. This guy, on the verge of death, was laughing so carefree. A surge of hatred welled up inside her as she pursed her lips.

"Then I'll tell you a huge secret now..."

She forced a smile, but tears still wouldn't fall. Even though she was overwhelmed with shame, even though she was falling back into that lewd daily life she didn't like, if it could save Tina, it would all be worth it.

"Actually... Tina isn't as conservative and pure as she seems. Deep down, she's a wanton and unfaithful bastard... She often conjures up thoughts far more shameful than an owl can imagine. She's actually even darker than Tina... Most importantly, she's a severe masochist, the kind who'd die if she didn't get bullied every day... So, please bully me, whether it's dripping wax, whipping, or a collar; today, tomorrow, and the days to come, Tina, please bully me to your heart's content..."

The girl held in Tina's arms couldn't help but chuckle. Tina slowly raised her small hand and gently placed it on the girl's soft lips, saying with concern, "...Your voice is hoarse."

The girl stood there, completely unaware of what she had just said, because the girl's slender, jade-like fingers sent a chilling sensation through her lips.

As her consciousness faded bit by bit amidst the escalating headache, Tina knew her time was running out, and a hint of urgency crept into her voice.

"Hey, Tina-chan."

The girl's face gradually calmed down, but she still had a serious expression, just like when they first met that night.

At this moment, her voice was soft yet solemn, "...The owl said that even if Tina had only one minute left to live, she would still marry a girl. Although the current situation seems to be reversed, it doesn't matter. Anyway...would you like to marry that owl?"

Tina held her breath for a moment, staring blankly at the girl who was longing for an answer.

"..." Even a deformed soul assimilated by AI.

"..." It would be good if there was a heart of steel under his chest.

"..." It all started with that encounter on the night of Scorpio.

"…………" An unexpectedly successful battle for sundaes.

"…………" The day of cohabitation with the Holy Emperor, after agreeing to three rules.

"…………" By some twist of fate, my first time was taken away from me.

"…………" The second time, the third time, the fourth time.

"…………" The sniping duel under the moonlight, the ice cream night, the lingering feelings of parting during class, the affection for oneself, starting with the body, progressing to admiration for strength, and finally penetrating the soul.

"..." Mistakenly believing he was dead, he chose to follow her to the death, destroying his own chip without regret.

"…………" The thumping of my heart, as if it were about to leap out of my chest, was so clear.

I've long forgotten whether it's made of machinery or something else, because it doesn't matter anymore.

Tears welled up uncontrollably at that moment, more crystal clear than diamonds and more dazzling than a sky full of stars. Tina cried and tried to smile at the same time, finally nodding firmly.

"I am willing."

The clear answer she had been waiting for brought a beautiful smile to Tina's face.

The faint sound of breathing faded away with the wind.

Then, the image froze.

……

……

……

The young girl Tina silently bent down and gently embraced the quiet and beautiful girl in her arms.

A sensor left inside her stomach during one of the Owl Steamed Oyster Slices project.

At this moment, the sensor also transmitted a faint life sign, which surprised the girl.

(Tina...Tina...Sumire Muroto...)

She suddenly thought of something.

ecstatic.

(Bastard, I only agreed to be your wife when I knew it was impossible)

(If I accidentally resurrect you, I'll be at a huge loss...)

...

[Nobody likes reading Black Bullet. Should we cut out the rest? (I can still continue the story even if I cut it out, but if I don't, the subscription numbers are terrible. Are they all just waiting for it to grow?)]

Inside the brightly lit laboratory, there were two human experiment tables.

One of the lab tables was clearly newly moved in, and a girl was sleeping on each of the two tables.

Tina, and Tina Sprout.

However, the light flickered, and the instrument's detection feedback showed that all of the two people's vital signs of survival had completely disappeared!

“Tina, she…” Xia Shi’s eyes widened, and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

Also in the lab were Rentaro and his group, the Holy Emperor, and two reincarnation teammates. Except for J, everyone was terrified, thinking that Tina had also committed suicide.

“Tina’s true identity is actually similar to that of a mechanized soldier.” J thought that it would be exposed sooner or later anyway, so he began to explain in advance, “...and her central control is controlled by the main computer. Right now, Tina has just entered ‘standby’...or rather, ‘hibernation’ state.”

Everyone was stunned. In fact, it wasn't that no one knew. The only one who knew, Tina, had kept this secret forever.

"Instead of this, let's leave for now and let Dr. Sumire Muroto hurry up... Tina has already gone this far, we must do everything we can to give Tina a chance to live."

"...Even if the brain is damaged, is that possible?" Sima Weizhi asked incredulously. "According to the information we at Sima Heavy Industries possess, even the 'Four Sages' in charge of the New Human Creation Project are only in the early stages of brain modification technology."

“Tina said that if we have samples, there won’t be any problems,” J said through gritted teeth.

Uncle J rubbed the lingering pain in his chest, a result of a heavy punch from a certain weapon after he couldn't dissuade her earlier. She had coldly stared at him and said, "Whoever stops me from saving Tina, I'll turn against them!"—a statement that was no joke.

A brain-mechanized prototype...?!

Everyone's eyes turned to Tina, the petite girl lying quietly on the lab table, motionless. A mix of emotions welled up inside them.

Brain modification technology is still in its infancy, and even the slightest mistake could have irreversible consequences. Yet, for someone, they would risk everything, even their lives... fearless and undaunted...

"Please, Doctor." J bowed earnestly to Sumire Muroto before leaving the lab with everyone else.

…………

Sumire Muroto is a cynical scientist with a world-weary personality whom Rentaro knows. She is also one of the "Four Wise Men" and the highest-ranking person in charge of the New Human Creation Project in Japan.

Her mind is among the top four in the world; it is said that she can read an entire library in just three days and apply the knowledge within perfectly.

Disheveled black hair obscured one eye, and the doctor, exuding a melancholic aura, stared intently at Lori Tina.

They told us that Tina was an experiment of Ayn Rand, one of the "Four Wise Men" and a former colleague of hers.

The Four Wise Men had an agreement not to subject the Cursed Son to inhumane mechanical modifications, so Ayn ​​Rand's actions naturally enraged her.

But when her gaze fell on Tina, Sumire felt an unprecedented excitement.

“…An intelligent robot, how interesting.” The sound of licking her lips rang out along with Sumire Muroto’s murmured voice.

"If it's really as powerful as the Holy Emperor claims, once we can analyze the technology and mass-produce weapons... then Gastrea and such won't be a threat?"

……

'Thump—'

'Thump—'

From the initial barely audible faintness, it gradually became clearer and more powerful, so real.

Like a small boat in a vast ocean, it should have been swept away by the raging waves, but the wreckage of the small boat never sank. Even when it was caught in a tornado, before it was completely shattered, that last bit of consciousness that Tina had given it lingered remained stubbornly.

Perhaps in minutes, perhaps in hours, this wisp of consciousness, even more feeble than an ant's, would vanish into nothingness. Tina, however, hadn't expected that this wisp of consciousness would actually struggle.

Struggling, my consciousness gradually became clearer, so clear and distinct that I could hardly believe it, like a miracle.

Later, she regained a little mobility and tried to open her eyes. Slowly, as her vision opened and the blurriness faded, she saw an unfamiliar ceiling, a dark silver steel structure.

"I'm alive……?"
