The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"Uncle, I found a jar of white sugar. Is it safe to eat?"

"White sugar? Of course! If it's sealed properly, bacteria will hardly grow. It's a good thing. I really miss the taste of sugar... Hmm? You actually found it hidden in a place like this. I'm amazed you found it."

"Hehe, I guess it's because my nose is more sensitive."

“An interesting little girl, by the way, you…”

"Uncle, my name is Yuri."

"Oh, Yuri. Who is that Hoshino Yumemi to you?"

“It’s…it’s my sister who got separated from me in this sealed city.” Yuri’s expression changed, and she suddenly became pitiful.

"I see. I hope she's alright." The old hunter said with deep sympathy, "I know this area very well, so I might be able to help. If you need a map, I can draw one for you."

"Really? With a map, at least we won't end up going back the same way..."

Yuri's tone shifted, and she became worried again.

"Speaking of which, how good are your drawing skills, uncle? Because I'm not very good at thinking things through, if the style is too strange or not detailed enough, I might not understand it..."

The old hunter laughed heartily upon hearing this.

"Hahaha, after all, the world is so chaotic and full of dangers these days. Young man, you need to use your brain more often... But I can't ask too much of you. If all else fails, I'll give you the only original map and I'll draw one myself."

Hahaha, you idiot! You gave Yuri the map to your manhood after just a few words!

However, if some attributes could also be represented by data, Yuri's diplomatic skills would definitely be SS+.

The old hunter had an unexpectedly large harvest on this trip.

There were two boxes of canned fruit alone, several jars of sugar, and some other things. It was fortunate that Yuri and Seyu helped him carry some of it, otherwise it would have been difficult to bring it all back at once.

The task was supposed to be shared among the three of them, but when the items were presented to Tina, the girl neither accepted them nor gave them, calmly, or rather coldly, looking at the old hunter.

Huh? Little girl, you won't even take a bottle of wine? Although you are tens of thousands of times prettier and cuter than any female celebrity I've ever seen, I never expected you to have such a spoiled princess complex!

Yuri quickly stepped forward and took the things the old hunter had given Tina without hesitation—even though she had already helped carry quite a bit.

The old hunter had defined her as a pampered princess who never lifted a finger.

"Compared to her, Yuri not only has big breasts, but she's also kind-hearted. How can there be such a big difference between them, even though they're on the same team?" he thought to himself.

Actually, Tina is not like that.

They won't bother with things that are unrelated to them, even if they are trivial matters within their capabilities.

But her friends, like Seol-yu, bought her a plush toy even on such a brutal rainy night.

Yuri has successfully built a good relationship with the old hunter.

Even if they don't travel together, if they just want to get the map, they must return to the old hunter's mobile base—his van parked outside the city, where the original map is also located.

Blindly searching like this isn't a solution; hopefully, obtaining the map of the sealed city will lead to a breakthrough.

Therefore, it was perfectly reasonable to go along the way and, as a price for exchanging maps, help the old hunter share some of the burden.

As she left the Hualing Department Store, Seol-yuk looked back one last time at the entirety of the tall building.

Somewhat unexpectedly, the roof of this building was different from the other monotonous roofs; it was a huge inverted semi-circle with a surface that was so dark that it was difficult to see the inside.

"Uncle, is that on the roof of the department store some kind of military facility?"

Seol-yu asked the old ruin hunter who was leading the way. The old hunter, who had been chatting with Yuri, snapped out of his reverie, glanced at her, and then replied:

"At first, I also thought it was some kind of military facility. Later, I learned from some small advertisements that were still left on the walls of this sealed city that it was... well, it was a rooftop planetarium."

The old hunter turned back, looked straight ahead, smiled mockingly, and said:

"Ever since the world fell into war, biological weapons and thermonuclear warheads have destroyed human cities one after another. Continuous biological and chemical rains and desolate ruins... In short, those who survived no longer had the mood to look at the stars."

The old hunter's words once again plunged Se-yu into memories, and the sorrow and heaviness in her heart were almost written on her face.

Tina glanced away and stole a look at her; of course she knew about Seulgi's past.

Tina thought to herself that she probably needed someone to rely on.

So she stepped forward, grabbed Seyu's strangely cold little hand that was unusually cold due to her unstable emotions, or rather, helped her carry the bag full of things.

"I'll help you carry it."

The delicate white hand trembled noticeably. Se Yu secretly glanced at the girl and met her quiet, gentle gaze.

"Thanks……"

"It's all in the past, cheer up."

After speaking, the girl looked away and turned her gaze forward again, while Se-yu subconsciously clenched her hands.

At least for this moment, Seul-yuk felt that she was still by his side and still cared about him.

A gust of desolate wind suddenly blew, and a light rain began to fall from the sky.

The wind, carrying rain, rushed into an alleyway next to the Hualing Department Store.

Due to the funnel effect, the wind suddenly intensified, blowing a huge, yellowed poster that had been hanging on the wall and swaying in the wind off the wall. The poster fell from the air and eventually landed on the ground where it was eroded by rainwater.

As it falls, you can see the poster adorned with a sky full of stars that even the passage of time cannot erase. In the center of this sea of ​​stars, a girl wanders among them.

The address above is

[Hualinshi Department Store Main Store - Rooftop Planetarium]

And the introduction of the girl in the poster.

[The name chosen from 1263 submissions, the planetarium commentator robot 'Hoshino Yumemi', will soon meet everyone in the ever-shining starry sky that will never fade away~]

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

The old ruin hunter's van was parked on the outskirts of the city, relatively close to the walled city.

That area is the sparse outer ring of the complex, where you're unlikely to encounter any autonomous anti-human machines, but there are a few dangerous objects like landmines.

Additionally, the Sealed Wall is a massive perimeter surrounding this sealed city, inhabited by colossal creatures like the Fiddler Crab with its automated turrets. However, it won't attack without provocation if you don't enter the restricted area.

After traveling for nearly two kilometers, we finally arrived at this plain.

The shadow of bacterial weapons is everywhere, and the plains are barren, more like a desolate wasteland.

The truck was parked next to the ruins of a severely damaged building. The supplies on the truck were almost gone, which made it hard to believe that the old hunter would risk venturing deep into the city.

He took out a deluxe original map from the car, actually intending to give it to Yuri. Fortunately, Yuri had a change of heart and asked him to give it to Tina instead.

"I've already memorized it."

Tina only glanced at it.

For her, recording things on a medium is as simple as taking a picture... oh, that is, taking a picture.

After obtaining the map, Seol-yu decided to leave the Old Ruins Hunters, but did not leave immediately.

Yuri is very talkative, and her mature (and busty) charm often appeals to men, women, young and old alike.

The middle-aged man was unintentionally flirted with and became quite happy.

The lonely hunter in the ruins was the most lonely of all. With such a big-breasted and beautiful girl willing to share his loneliness, he even felt that he would have no regrets even if he died right away.

They talked about everything under the sun, from mobile games to movies, from family to war, from macarons to Alaska, and before long, they even touched on the heavy topic of life and death.

"When a person is about to die, it is a very simple death."

The old ruin hunter lamented that, having lived through a time of calamity, he had witnessed far too much how fragile and fleeting life could be.

"I think you'll be fine even if you step on a landmine."

Yuri teased with a smile.

"Hahaha, you're right."

Yuri swept away the somber mood of the conversation. The old hunter laughed heartily and immediately decided to walk to the car to take out his treasured red wine and enjoy it to his heart's content.

"boom!!!"

.........

As anyone who has watched the anime knows, this is a death flag that comes true instantly, and he really stepped on a landmine.

"boom!!!!"

However, these two loud explosions were not caused by landmines, but rather originated from the distant sky. The enormous blasts echoed and reverberated once again.

The old hunter was also attracted by the sound, stopped and looked into the distance, but had not yet approached the place where the landmine was buried.

"What happened?" Yuri asked anxiously.

The old hunter's brows furrowed deeply as he said gravely, "The sound is coming from the Sealed Wall. It must be that the Fiddler Crab is fighting with someone... Fiddler Crabs don't reload very quickly, which means that more than one has been attracted there!"

"Hey? Tina, where are you going!"

By the time Seyu realized what was happening, the girl was already too far away after a spatial teleportation.

So, the hand that had been outstretched was slowly withdrawn, and Captain Li felt extremely frustrated.

Kuroiwa Shu left the group without permission, probably because she provoked the fiddler crab. We couldn't even be bothered with her, so why was Tina so impatient? Why would she be so impatient? ...What gives her the right?!

What are fiddler crabs? Are they very powerful?

The old hunter glanced at Seryu and sighed heavily. "The automatic turret fiddler crab, speaking of which, it was once a guardian standing on the wall of confinement, resisting enemies. Its power..."

"Hey……"

The old hunter felt an indescribable terror emanating from it. As he turned to grab his wine, he murmured, "Its..."

'Bang!'
