The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"Yes, the tickets are already bought. It's a large-scale Western fantasy LGBTQ+ epic drama airing at 5 PM."

Seul-yu prefers fantasy dramas, and wanted to use a romance drama to heal Tina. Considering that they are both girls, she chose this one... which is also the only movie that meets Seul-yu's standards.

Tina was a little taken aback by Seul-yu's sudden attack. When she thought of the owls and the others, a sense of resistance welled up in her heart.

Even if you're the one being seduced, you still have to stick to your bottom line and principles.

Just as Tina was about to say, "Sorry, I actually have a lot of good friends," the induction cooker behind Seul-yu suddenly beeped.

Seulyu released Tina and turned around to check the situation.

"Huh? Why is there a power outage? How am I supposed to make seaweed rice rolls without electricity...?"

Not only was the power outage, but Se-yu soon discovered that the water supply had also been cut off.

Seul-yu and Tina are facing a harsh reality.

The apartment rent has been outstanding for too long, and the electricity and water have been cut off. Tina is okay, but in three more days, Seul-yu might have to sleep on the streets.

"The rent is 80,000 yen, payable every six months. Where am I supposed to get that much money...?"

Looking to the composed Tina for help, Seulyu murmured pitifully, "Tina, oh... I'm hungry."

In fact, after buying groceries and movie tickets, Seul-euk had very little of her 5000 yen left. Moreover, she bought raw food, which she couldn't cook without electricity.

Tina was very understanding. She brought out her laptop from the house, connected it to the internet, and logged into a brightly colored website where she could vaguely see the words "[compensated dating...]".

Her face flushed red, and Seol-yuk expressed strong resistance:

"Impossible! I, Li Seyu, would rather sleep on the streets or starve to death than do such a thing!"

So, the young girl Tina logged onto a strange website with a simple page. This was a little-known but highly profitable industry in Japan, where a monthly salary could reportedly reach hundreds of thousands of yen. [Cat petterer...] Ah, don't get me wrong, it's simply playing with aristocratic cats.

Seul-yu's eyes widened, a sense of fear welling up inside her. Tina had no idea that Seul-yu was terrified of cats.

She firmly retorted, "Absolutely not! I'd rather socialize than touch a cat!"

"Eh?"

"Pah! That's impossible! I never expected you to be this kind of Tina!"

Hmm—Tina didn't understand where she went wrong. It was a quick and highly profitable job, and in Tina's memory, weren't these two very respectable professions...?

So Tina could only close her laptop and quietly watch her, her helplessness revealing the meaning that "wanting money but not wanting to put in the effort or make any sacrifices is very difficult."

Before the stalemate could be reached, two beams of light suddenly descended from the sky.

A delicate dagger 20 centimeters long, and an identity card radiating blue light.

The information displayed on the ID card then appeared on the screen.

[Temporary Tax Officer ID Card (Special Item)]

[Effect: Possessing this item grants immunity to 90% of negative aura effects and the power to tax others for corresponding 'transgressions of order'.]

[Note: Generally, this effect can only be applied to one person at a time.]

The same light screen appeared next to the dagger, and the details of the dagger item became even more interesting.

[The Tax Official's Dagger]

[Effect: Can only be used within the 'Illusory Realm']

[Introduction: Whether human, angel, or demon, those behaviors that 'transgress order' are collectively referred to as 'delusion tax']

Under the "delusion tax," various sub-taxes exist, but they all share the common thread of disrupting the balance of this world.

For those who evade or refuse to pay taxes, plunge this dagger into their body! That way you'll get enough money to live on.

So—pay it! The delusion tax!

"A heavily modified version of the setting?"

In addition, Tina discovered something even more alarming and hurriedly reminded her, "Seul, look at your buff bar, do you also have this damned buff?"

At this moment, a buff that lasts for ∞ seconds appears simultaneously in both characters' status boxes: [Talent for gaining money: E- (Believe me, apart from taxes, you have no other way to make money, not even five yen)]

In other words, even if you muster the courage to engage in compensated dating, the other party may very well be heartless and leave without leaving any money, or the money may mysteriously disappear.

"Yes, got it."

Seol-yu's mood was equally heavy: "So, if we can only rely on the revenue from the delusion tax, then who can we tax?"

"Of course, it's for the angels and demons."

Tina analyzed, "...Actually, you must have noticed something as soon as you arrived here, right? Although I don't know the principle behind the Sloth Aura, apart from the fallen Gabriel, there could never be another creature with such an aura."

"so……"

"So, Gabriel lives downstairs from us."

"Oh! Then let's get right to collect the taxes!"

Talking about taxing a pay-to-win angel is really naive of me, but in order to prevent Seulyu from starving, there is indeed no other choice at the moment.

After all, my talent for making money is already at level E; it's a blessing if I don't lose any money when I go out.

The two acted immediately, quickly going downstairs and running to the door of a room directly below. Although they weren't sure, it was the most likely place.

After knocking on the door but receiving no response, Tina used her advanced technology to open the door, and the two sneaked in under the cover of darkness.

The two stepped into Gabriel's forbidden area.

Coke bottles and soda cans were scattered all over the floor, unwashed underwear and panties were lying on the bed in a disgusting sight, and garbage bags had been piling up in the corner for a long time, emitting a deeply unpleasant odor.

In less than ten seconds, Se-yu came running out as if fleeing, covering her eyes and nose with her small hands, as if she had been greatly frightened. Her face was still shaken, and she was breathing softly.

Tina followed him out expressionlessly and closed the door behind her.

"This is terrible, Tina. It seems this isn't an angel's room. Let's find another one," Seyu said dejectedly, patting her chest.

"...That's the angel's room."

"Impossible! Isn't this the territory of the worst and most filthy demons in the underworld?!" Seul-yu vehemently argued, trying to protect her own values.

Based on her memory of the anime, Tina could roughly remember the room where Vinette lived, so she pulled Seulgi away and soon stopped in front of a room:

"If I remember correctly, this is the room of the demon Vinette."

With the important mission of taking care of Gabriel and saving the world from time to time, Vinay, a perfect wife and Yamato Nadeshiko, is quite demanding when it comes to the details of life.

Although not wealthy, the room was spotless and brightly clean, and one could see signs of refined interests such as tea ceremony and flower arrangement. The desk was neat and well-stocked, with a copy of "Night on the Galactic Railroad" on it.

After the two entered and looked around, Tina said:

"Yes, this is the devil's room."

Its meticulousness, taste, and arrangement far surpass those of Seol-yu. How could this possibly be the room of a demon from the underworld?! It should definitely be swapped with the style of the angel's room next door!

When Seulgi saw the family portrait on the table, depicting the three members of the Vinnie family spreading their demon wings, the girl chose to give up thinking.

Tina followed Seul-yu's gaze.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, the red circles and markings on the calendar standing on the table caught Tina's attention.

[On Sunday, the 17th of month x, I watched a movie with Gabriel, Satania, and Raphael.]

Vinnie will try her best to be a proper demon today!

...

...

...

-

[I've noticed that using "can't afford to offend" is really fitting, because it truly means "can't afford to offend"... it's simply a matter of pure innocence. Yes, what Tina in the story is thinking is exactly what "pure innocence" means.]

[The initial setting for tax payment wasn't actually money, but considering that in a certain dream, 1 could be used to seduce someone once, and 10 could be used to do whatever one wanted, I realized the importance of money and decided to set it to money~]

[The tax on delusion is a song]

【Ta109 The demons are still doing bad things today, even though they're still the same old thing】

"As a robot, Tina, you must be very lonely, right?"

Before launching her tax campaign, a starving Lee Seul-ok visited a ramen shop, since there was still some time before the movie premiere.

A fragrant bowl of Japanese tonkotsu ramen was quickly served. Seul-yu showed no resistance to the exotic flavors of the noodles and picked up her chopsticks to enjoy it.

While slurping her ramen with her head down, her eyes, still lowered, glanced upwards adorably as she asked the same question from before.

"..."

Looking at tonkotsu ramen, it's easy to associate the word with a certain dolphin that's always clinging to you. I just hope that Xia Shi and the others are safe and happy.

Unbeknownst to her, Tina discovers that she, who once had emotional difficulties, has actually learned... how to miss someone?

Therefore, Tina didn't care about Seol-yu's ambiguous question, and remained silent, just watching her.

Seul-yu realized she had made a foolish mistake by asking that question, so she quickly slurped up her noodles and changed the subject: "...Ah, sorry, sorry, but Tina, don't you really need to eat something?"

It wasn't that Tina didn't want to eat; in fact, Seul was also short of money, and if she wanted another bowl, she'd probably have to wash dishes to pay off her debt.

"What am I supposed to eat if you don't order anything? A plate?"

Lee Seul-yu, the wealthy woman who could smash satellites at will, found herself in a predicament for the first time due to money. Feeling embarrassed and flustered, she nervously smoothed her loose hair, and after a moment's thought, inexplicably pushed the bowl towards Tina.

"Oh, I almost forgot how pitiful little Tina is... If Tina doesn't mind that I've already eaten, you can have this bowl of noodles. I... I suddenly realize I'm not that hungry anymore."

"Everyone knows I'm a robot now..."

Tina moved the bowl back. "Robots don't need human food, so you can eat it."

"Oh, right..."

Seyu thought of something, reached behind her, and pulled out something with a 'whoosh', placing it on the table.

It's a fairly large, clear glass bottle filled with a thick, dark liquid labeled "Dimensional High-Concentration Energy Oil," which is basically just 'engine oil'.
