The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

They could even hear their own voice, though it was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, yet it sounded so clear in the deathly silence of the environment.

Deeply surprised and bewildered, Tina turned her head with difficulty and saw Tina lying on the bed next door.

...No, to be precise, it was an experimental table covered with a blanket, just like his own.

“Tina…”

She called out softly.

As expected, there was no response.

However, Tina's restored strength was not enough to support her body, so she waited and waited until her consciousness could no longer withstand the exhaustion and she fell asleep.

…………

Without any sense of time, and not knowing how much time had passed, Tina woke up again. Now, she was certain that this was not some strange dream.

Using his mental power, he activated the chip's capabilities in a familiar way, but apart from a slight headache, nothing else happened.

"Has the chip been deactivated...?"

Tina stared at the ceiling, murmuring incredulously, "The chip was deactivated, and I'm still alive, and I survived after a certain weapon agreed to marry me... Ah, it's like a dream."

She knew that the technology in the Black Bullet world was far from being able to revive a person whose brain had been damaged and who was on the verge of death, but when the image of a girl flashed through her mind, all her doubts were resolved.

"...You must be so eager to marry me that you did this~ Hehe."

Now that the chip has been removed, he is no longer afraid of Ayn Rand and can break free from her control to choose his own life. Moreover—

"Yes, from now on, 'Black Wind' is dead."

Feeling the restorative power within her body, Tina pulled back the thin blanket covering her and moved out of bed.

Because she had no shoes, she could only walk barefoot on the ground. The metal floor was cold to the touch. Once her other small, snow-white foot touched the ground, she couldn't wait to run forward.

She came to Tina's side, who was only ten meters away.

The girl's expression was serene, as peacefully asleep as ever. However, she was also unusually quiet, because even her heartbeat could not be heard.

"........."

In a moment of panic, Tina hurriedly reached out her small hand and pressed it under the blanket against the girl's slightly protruding chest.

'boom'

'boom'

"Huh...?" Despite her confusion, Tina withdrew her hand after feeling relieved.

Indeed, just seconds before, there was no heartbeat. The reason was that Tina's self-set seven-day "standby" period had just ended.

Yes, without realizing it, a full seven days have passed.

After withdrawing her hand, Tina gazed intently at the girl's face again.

Ugh... Anyway, any adjective would be superfluous. I could look at this face ten thousand times a day and never get tired of it. On the contrary, it's so cute and innocently tempting that it's almost criminal.

Without thinking, the girl tiptoed and gently kissed him.

"Hey..."

The girl was startled awake.

Or rather, she woke up naturally after the "standby" period ended, but as soon as she woke up, just like Tina when she first woke up, she felt weak all over.

Therefore, when his gaze fell upon Tina, who was unable to control herself, the girl uttered a murmur that she wanted to resist but could not.

"Ah...you, you're finally awake, Tina."

Tina was slightly startled and quickly withdrew her head, saying...

Why use "finally"? Didn't you just have a better chance of succeeding?

The owl stretched out two fingers and twirled them together, explaining in a low voice, "...Because if you hadn't woken up, I wouldn't have been able to enjoy that humiliating expression on your face when I bullied you, that biting-lip, trying-to-be-calm look...!"

Tina: "Hey, is it already true that old habits die hard...?"

The girl gritted her teeth in hatred.

Tina raised her head and smiled arrogantly: "Hey, who was it that said she was a masochist and begged the owl to bully and humiliate her?" The girl blinked and approached with a dangerous smile, "...Tsk, don't tell me you've forgotten. Someone clearly promised to marry her...The owl is ready anytime. When does Tina plan to keep her word?"

These were words she had agreed to because she mistakenly believed the owl was doomed, but now she was being used as leverage to coerce her. That bastard, she should have known better than to save her…

“Hmm, I forgot,” Tina said, closing her eyes tightly. “...Everything.”

"Liars will be punished by swallowing a thousand needles," the girl whispered in his ear, her breath sweet and her voice laced with a threatening yet unexpected laugh. "...Punishing you before you recover your strength will be a piece of cake."

"Whatever." A helpless, resigned voice, utterly desperate.

Suddenly.

The feeling of moisture on her eyelashes stirred the heartstrings of young Tina.

"Just kidding. I'll tease you when you're truly willing."

She also heard whispered words that stirred her heart.

“…Tina, thank you.”

------------

Some things have finally come to an end.

After Tina woke up, she rested for another day and accompanied the owl to undergo a series of comprehensive examinations by Sumire Muroto.

Without the chip, Tina is no longer the assassin 'Black Wind,' nor does she belong to the villain Anland.

Tina secretly called Rita behind Arnland's back, letting Rita, the goddess of the underworld in America across the Pacific, know that she had been resurrected. The five sisters' volatile emotions were finally calmed down... and they gave Tina their most sincere blessings.

The girl and the owl chose a time (the following evening) to return to the Holy House.

Despite being told that Tina was now a teammate on the same side, the shadow in the Holy Emperor's heart did not dissipate so easily.

Upon returning to the Holy Palace, Tina once again cornered the poor Holy Emperor with an M134 Vulcan cannon, all the while smiling and calling it a test of His Highness the Head of State's mental fortitude.

What's delightful is that the owl and the Holy Emperor, one the dominant one and the other the submissive one, continue their daily routine even though they are now allies... However, it seems that the young princess is completely forced into it.

Summer Dynasty —

This little brat is sulking.

Xia Shi was sulking because Tina had come back to life. If she had really died, she would have remembered Tina forever. But Xia Shi heard clearly the "originally impossible marriage agreement," and because of Tina's resurrection, the conditions for it to be fulfilled were met...

Tina asked her why, and Xia Shi said that this was unfair, since she was the one who did it first.

"..."

This kind of problem... Sigh—I dare not say that Xia Shi brought it on himself, otherwise I would be even angrier.

In this moment of inspiration, Tina quickly connected to the internet and searched the Black Bullet world for "One Hundred Ways a White Scholar Can…" (scratch that!) No, not at all, but rather "How to Harmoniously Manage Harem Relationships."

[Best answer from the engine: Let the number of harem members be N, and the hidden trigger events be P, then N*P=NP...]

Well, Tina, who was as pure as crystal, couldn't understand it at all.

So Tina had no choice but to tell Xia Shi about her heroic resistance and unwavering chastity, which barely calmed Xia Shi down.

Xia Shi: "Sigh... I really feel bad for you, Tina, since you're always the one being pushed. I'm not angry anymore."

The young girl, Tina, could only look up at the sky in silence.

Well, on the other hand, (if it's Xia Shi and Tina) being pushed isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Afterwards, the Holy Emperor's confession to Tina about District 44 was basically consistent with what was described in the top-secret document he had peeked at that day.

When Tina said she wanted to take the two little girls with her, stop disturbing the sacred chamber, and move, this dignified and imposing emperor, who was always seen by the people of the whole country, revealed a vulnerable side that no one had ever seen before.

"Yes, I was really happy to spend time with you all." She bowed deeply in gratitude, though given her status, it was completely unnecessary.

"...Tina, um, I've been feeling tightness in my chest lately, and I keep having nightmares." The young princess's eyes were practically brimming with desire.

Things are going badly. The young princess is also showing signs of being in heat. What should we do? She didn't push Tina away, so she has no good reason to elope with her.

Besides, Your Highness carries the weight of a nation on your shoulders; such jokes are not to be taken lightly.

"Your Highness, the No. 32 megalithic monument..." Tina hesitated before leaving.

"Huh? What happened to the No. 32 megalith?"

"Well, it's nothing. We'll be going now. See you again sometime..."

……

After that, Tina went to Kisara Tendo's house again. Although the A-rank weapon was good, the [Killer Blade - Snow Shadow] was, after all, someone else's family heirloom. Stealing the skill and taking the sword for herself was a bit too much.

Tina returned the sword, and Kisara expressed his gratitude and great concern, asking if she wanted to stay overnight and have a meal.

Tina said it wasn't convenient for me to stay overnight, and if I really wanted to treat the two little girls to a meal, she could just transfer the money to my card.

So Kisara politely transferred 300 yen to her. Seeing her pitiful state, Tina transferred another 3000 yen back. Kisara was stunned when she saw the huge sum of money, and she looked so grateful that she seemed to want to repay him with her body.

Just as Tina was considering whether to add more money to trick the poor young lady out of the A-grade weapon Snow Shadow, her wristwatch suddenly received a text message.

Then, he left Kisara's house without stopping for a moment.

Because it was the middle of the night.

There are still very important things to do.

Naturally, with the arrival of District 44 imminent, the issue of food for the large number of cursed children becomes particularly important.

Tina randomly picked a large supermarket owned by the Tendo Corporation. It was past 1 a.m., and this super shopping center happened to be closing for renovations once a month. It was dark, empty, and deserted.

...Oh no, three little mice have sneaked in.

The humanoid weapons violently shut down all surveillance and alarms before they began their sweep.

[Objects are incorporated into or expelled from imaginary space, consuming energy (Tina) according to the object's mass.]

As long as she has enough energy, Tina can swallow the shelf and all the goods on it by touching it with her little hands.

This kind of thing is terrifying.

People are shifting their focus to lighter items, such as chocolates, candies, and Häagen-Dazs ice cream. Food courts in shopping malls are rapidly reducing stock, shelf by shelf.

They must have moved a lot of things away, and even the humanoid weapons are finding it increasingly difficult to hold on.

As a result, they inevitably had to take several breaks in between. The two little girls, who were just there to make up the numbers, only served to feed Tina a whole refrigerator of cold drinks to replenish her energy.
