The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Another round of sweeping, the remnants swept away by the wind.

The entire process took about an hour to complete before Tina received a text message:

[Wu Teng: Um, I'm so sorry, I forgot to give you the activity funds when you bought the food. Here's the card number, there's 2000 million in it, feel free to use it.]

Tina, who was just exhausted, fell silent when she saw the 2000 million.

...

...

...

[Speaking of which, Saiki Kusuo's brother's IQ is only 218, while Natsume's 210 seems terrifying...]

[I'm asking for more monthly votes... I'm too tired to keep asking anyway, since I'm not going to get into the top ten new books, so please don't vote for me 555~]

[My liver isn't doing so well, all because I don't have enough time (purely laziness, what a waste of time!). Should we start a global poll soon? Although there already is one in the book review section.]

early morning.

Peripheral area.

The endless expanse of emerald green fields, if one can ignore the several obtrusive, dark, large nuclear power plants in the distance, make it quite enjoyable to appreciate nature.

The streams flowing through the ravines were murky, and apart from heavily polluted factories, there were no habitable buildings to be found on the desolate plains. There was no clean water, no food, and the only shelter was the tents of the homeless.

congratulations.

For the cursed children are about to bid farewell to this environment today.

Above the grassland, two large transport helicopters slowly descended, their rotors spinning amidst a rumbling sound that shook the air.

However, the more than one hundred cursed children who gathered from various outer districts of Tokyo, waving and cheering, were so enthusiastic that their voices were no quieter than the noise from the helicopter.

The helicopter landed smoothly, but only Sima Weizhi and her bodyguards stepped out.

She walked over with a charming smile, waving a fan that shone with a black metallic sheen.

Suddenly.

Sima Miori stopped in her tracks, her gaze fixed blankly on the three little girls behind her: Senju Natsuyo, Tina, and Tina Sprant.

—Located on the grass is a beautifully crafted, brand-new private small helicopter, its silvery sheen in the sunlight resembling flowing frost.

“This is…” Sima Weizhi exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes, I bought it. Isn't it cool?" The girl standing between the two lolis simply nodded calmly.

With 2000 million yen, during a time of severe deflation, and thanks to the 'harmonious' bargaining of the humanoid weapon, he successfully purchased this beautifully designed flying peacock from the black market.

The wealthy heiress glanced at her with seductive eyes and murmured, "...Well, how should I put it, I'm just as beautiful as you."

"Oh, right, Tina, this is for you."

Sima Weizhi waved her jade-like hand behind her, and the black-clad guard behind her hurriedly and respectfully handed over a long object wrapped in cloth.

"That guy, Tendo Kisara, is incredibly stingy. He won't even part with a broken sword. Perhaps this weapon isn't as good as Yukage's, but I still hope you'll accept it."

The girl took it with both hands, untied the cloth, and first saw the exquisitely patterned black scabbard.

After fully untying the sword, she gripped the hilt and slashed at the air with fluid grace. Instantly, dazzling lightning burst forth from the blade, as awe-inspiring as a rapidly flowing glacier. 'Chirp!' A sharp, piercing sound rang out as the sword sliced ​​through the air.

Meow meow meow?! This is... a built-in special effect!

[Pseudo-Raikiri (B+ Rank)]

[Introduction: Created by Sima Heavy Industries as a replica of the ancient Japanese sword 'Raikiri', this sword is the result of sophisticated technology. With each swing and strike, it generates a high-voltage current, boasting four stars for lethality, three stars for surprise attack, and five stars (full marks) for special effects… In a sense, this is the undisputed true Raikiri!]

"Good knife, I'll take it." Tina said without any politeness.

Even Sima Weizhi was taken aback by the girl's frankness, after all, this sword was incredibly expensive to make!

"Now, let's set off."

"Oh... okay." Sima Weizhi's eyes widened. "What are you going to do with this plane?... Can you even fly it?"

"If you're afraid of dying, you don't have to sit." Owl glanced at Tina with displeasure, actually doubting her.

"Hey...who's afraid of dying! We'll all die together, you bastard! I just...oh well, I'll sit down then!!"

------

The small helicopter is a four-seater, which can accommodate four people.

Two transport helicopters, equipped with and staffed by Sima Weizhi's personal guard who had been entrusted with important tasks, guided the Cursed Children one by one as they filed into the cabin.

Each aircraft can accommodate 120 adults, and two aircraft can carry more than 100 children, making the interior space feel completely spacious.

On the contrary, it was almost all the children of the curse who were flying for the first time. When the helicopter roared off the ground and rose into the sky, the blue sky and white clouds seemed within reach. The little girls' faces turned red, both nervous and happy... and they were also looking forward to the mysterious place they were about to go.

Inside the small helicopter.

"Tina, isn't your partner going?" Natsume Senju asked, turning her head.

Xia Shi's seat was in the passenger seat because he won a game of rock-paper-scissors with Tina.

The young girl, Tina, looked calm and focused, skillfully starting the helicopter with her limbs, just like a battle-hardened, top-notch pilot.

"That day, the Holy Emperor said she was plagued by nightmares."

"...Later, we learned that those bad guys were back, using nightmares or other means to target the Holy Emperor, with their target clearly set on District 44. Uh, also because of a terrible hidden danger (the collapse of the No. 32 megalith). In short, Uncle J and Wu Teng chose to stay in Tokyo—to protect the Holy Emperor and defend Tokyo."

The only other reincarnation team among the bad guys the girl mentioned who can also create mental nightmares is another reincarnation team.

The small helicopter, its silver rotors spinning gracefully, nimbly tumbled through the sky.

Swift as lightning, galloping as fast as the wind.

Every now and then, it would perform a high-difficulty 720-degree acrobatic flight. Except for a certain weapon that remained unfazed, the other three were dizzy and filled with resentment.

If Tina hadn't been piloting the helicopter, all three of them would have pounced on her and given her a good lesson! ...Although the chances of catching her together wouldn't have been great anyway.

The helicopter flew away from the outer perimeter area.

We flew through the clouds and over the barrier of the giant stone monument.

They entered a forbidden zone for humans—the Calamity Field, where Gastrea strutted about with their heads held high.

This is a forbidden zone for monsters; danger lurks not only on land but also in the sky.

Web-weaving flying spiders, moths, flies, and other gastrula, with bodies as tough as small helicopters and powerful limbs, have long been the masters of the sky.

However, thanks to the large quantity of bullets provided by Sima Heavy Industries, as well as various cutting-edge technologies, the bullets were fired indiscriminately, preventing these low-level Gastrea from even getting close to the transport helicopter.

Below, various human-built structures, abandoned for ten years, are still visible. Giant worms crawl on the collapsed buildings, and a ferocious ant queen has taken over the underground parking lot as her nest.

They flew a great distance away, leaving behind the desolate ruins of civilization.

We crossed polluted rivers and traversed continuous, gloomy mountains.

The flight took approximately one hour.

Sima Miori looked down from the sky at the plains of Hime Senri: "Hmm, we should be there soon."

The young lady looked back and saw that the two transport helicopters behind her, like eagles that had lost their edge, could only follow slowly behind the small helicopter. She couldn't help but complain, "...Hey, Tina, if your helicopter's speed performance were a little higher, we probably would have arrived long ago."

Bought for 2000 million yen, it's indeed a high-end street vendor item that looks good on the outside but is rotten inside.

But since it was his own choice, it's understandable that he was a little annoyed when Sima Weizhi criticized it.

Tina, true to her role as a confidante, saw through the girl's melancholy at a glance.

Then he turned and threatened fiercely, "I say, there are so many Gastrea down there starving, do you want a thrilling skydive or something...?"

"...But I'm telling the truth, because the Gastrea next door can fly faster than us."

Sima Weizhi was on the verge of tears, cornered by Tina, but she still stubbornly pointed out the window at a huge, terrifying creature with a grotesque head.

"That is……"

Senju Natsuyo frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

The mosquito's head, which appears slender relative to its massive body, has compound eyes like a dragonfly. The visual impact of these enormous, wriggling compound eyes is enough to drive anyone with trypophobia crazy.

In addition, its tail curves downwards like a bumblebee's stinger, making it a "Stage III" gastrulator that is a hybrid of mosquito, dragonfly, and bee genes.

"It's Phase III...!"

"What! Stage III...?!" Sima Weizhi panicked immediately. "We must use heavy weapons to destroy it immediately, otherwise, once it becomes more cautious, things will get complicated..."

As she spoke, she took out her communicator, preparing to order her subordinates on the transport helicopter to fire first, but before she could finish speaking, suddenly—

'Hong!!!!'

The magnificent roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

The wind and clouds dispersed, revealing a bright and clear sky. However, a dazzling pillar of lightning, coiled with serpents, delivered a visually overwhelming and almost violent shock, instantly dominating Wei Zhi's consciousness.

Similarly, dazzling lightning streaked across the sky, piercing through the body of Stage III and sealing its fate with death.

Done. Tina silently retracted the laser cannon into the imaginary space, withdrew her hands, and continued piloting the helicopter.

"..."

Sima Weizhi was silently putting down the phone when the pilot of the transport helicopter called her. Weizhi answered immediately.

[Pilot A: Miss, the helicopter's radar has detected what appears to be two humans on the land below... Requesting instructions.]

The phone was not in hands-free mode, so the four people on the plane were all taken aback when they heard it.

Tina, in particular, frowned her beautiful crescent-shaped eyebrows and stared at the radar screen in front of her.

After the pointer slowly swept around three times, it deliberately lowered the plane's altitude before finally displaying two dots.

...Damn it (crossed out), this garbage helicopter is going to kill people!!

Afterwards, Sima Miori accepted Tina's suggestion that since they were very close to District 44, they should send two transport helicopters ahead first.
