The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"Hmm... Hoshino Yumemi, what is your wish?"

Then, the mecha girl Yumemi was stunned.

desire……?

Because no one would ever care about a robot's wishes; even if it harbored them, they would be buried deep within its memory. But when it 'finds' them, it can answer without hesitation.

"My wish is to serve humanity forever as a robot. Even after I go to heaven, please don't separate the world of humans and robots. If they are separated, it will cause me a lot of distress."

My God, this is so difficult.

Seol-yuk felt the question was inappropriate, since there was a difference between the two, so she asked again:

"So what is your wish? Note, not a wish! A deep desire!"

"My wish is that the God of Robots will bless Heaven so that humans and robots will not be separated. If they are separated, it will be very difficult for me to serve humanity forever."

Sweating profusely, Seol-yu was a little annoyed by Meng-mei's attempt to gloss over the situation with a different phrasing.

"No! This isn't a wish at all! How could we possibly do this! Tell me the truth, Hoshino Yumemi!"

Yuri chimed in with a dissenting voice, "Captain Li, don't forget, this is the highest difficulty level you chose! It might actually be that difficult!"

Although Seul-yu has already explained, the captain should indeed take the blame for this kind of thing, but I still feel so wronged!

Tina... Could it be that I caused Tina's death? A chill suddenly ran through Seyu's body.

Seeing Seul-yu's unusual behavior, Meng-mei looked puzzled and quickly went over to check on her.

"Excuse me, are you feeling unwell? Would you like to be taken to the mall's medical room?...Guest? Guest?...Guest?"

"You're so noisy!"

Seol-yu snapped.

Faced with Seol-yu's accusations, Mengmei's system showed no shame or anger, but instead smiled broadly and admitted:

"I have a minor malfunction: a bug in the self-diagnostic program, the backup battery is depleted and needs replacement, and the cervical spine power unit is excessively worn and needs replacement."

...and bugs in the personnel information database and conversation program mean that repetitive and lengthy dialogues are an inherent rule of this machine.

"..."

So, clearly only the last sentence is the key point, right?

Well, this made things even noisier, making Se-yu restless and even a little resentful towards the 'ungrateful' robot, Meng-mei.

At this moment, Mengmei suddenly took two steps back, maintaining a standard distance from Seyu, and said, "The projection will begin in six minutes. Please have a seat and wait for it to start."

Yuri asked curiously, "Projection?"

Seyu frowned: "What projection? A holographic projection?"

"It's the starry sky."

Hoshino Yumemi smiled sweetly and replied.

Yuri cleared up her confusion, "The starry sky?... Hmm, right, this is the planetarium."

Lee Se-yuk frowned and refused, "I want to take a shower first, because I feel... a little uncomfortable..."

Since the umbrella was found halfway through the journey, everyone had already gotten completely soaked beforehand.

"So, sir, would you like to rest first?" Mengmei asked the other reincarnators at the same time. "...This guest wishes to rest. Could the three of you please wait for her for a moment?"

The three of them naturally nodded in agreement.

In Mengmei's ear, there was an earphone with a small printer interface for holographic projection, etc. A beautifully designed coupon was pushed out from the slit, which she took and handed to Li Seyu with both hands.

"Because this is an informal projection, we can make an exception and postpone this special projection to the free time of the lucky 2.5 millionth guest, based on the guests' needs."

Mengmei bowed deeply and said with a heart-melting smile:

"Since the planetarium does not provide accommodation, please go home and rest well. When you visit the planetarium again, please be sure to contact me promptly... Note: Please arrive at the planetarium after 9:00 AM. If I cause you any unpleasantness, I will be very troubled."

— [Starry Dream, hmm, writing a short story…]

[Which would you like to see next: Asuna, Mikasa, or Railgun?]

[If J were to become a dark, chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) teenager, it would be extremely... um?]

[Ta125: Unspoken feelings of love...]

Sealed City is one of the cities that suffered annihilation during World War III. To this day, the city's power and water supply systems have been paralyzed for nearly thirty years.

Therefore, the planetarium's backup power storage will only be activated during the seven days each year that Hoshino Yumemi activates.

The planetarium, filled with the dazzling white light of hundreds of lights, could be described as the brightest and warmest place in the city.

"Welcome to the planetarium. Here, you will find endless beauty and brilliance that will never fade. The starry sky awaits your arrival."

Hoshino Yumemi stood at the entrance of the planetarium, smiling and primly rehearsing her welcoming words to the guests.

Unbeknownst to her, the city outside the planetarium was already a desolate wasteland devoid of life.

She didn't know that no one would ever visit her planetarium again.

Unbeknownst to her, the planetarium staff and director who lied to her about their "trip" thirty years ago were no longer able to come back to fix her "minor ailment."

Standing outside the door again, Lee Seul-ok seemed to hate her own easily swayed, saintly heart, and bit her lip hard.

The next moment, she opened the door and went inside.

"Welcome to the Planetarium, where a beautiful and endless radiance will never fade, filling the sky..."

The phrase, which had been repeated countless times, came to an abrupt end this time, because Lee Seul-ok, who had not long left, had returned and once again entered her field of vision.

"Hey? Guest, have you rested enough?"

When everyone left, it was still before evening, but when Seol-yuk returned, it was already night.

Seul-ok had no chance of escaping from under their noses. In fact, it was Seul-ok's own request, made with everyone's consent.

While claiming it was to find out Mengmei's true wish, Li Seyu actually had her own ulterior motives.

"Yes, I've rested well..."

Mengmei smiled, her eyebrows arching, and leaned forward slightly, saying, "Guest, would you like to have a special commemorative projection for the 250 millionth guest?"

It's unclear how it was determined, but Seul-yu was considered to be exactly 2.5 millionth, while the other three were 2.5 millionth and one... 2... 3... and so on.

In short, judging from the fact that Mengmei didn't care at all whether the three of them were present, Li Seyu's importance in Mengmei's heart is greater than the three of them combined.

"Um, Mengmei, I'm so sorry about how I thought you were being long-winded before..."

"No, I should be the one apologizing. It was my machine and the conversation system that malfunctioned, causing the customer's displeasure. I'm truly, truly, truly sorry..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I can't stand you." Seyu complained again, but the smile on her face became more and more genuine, and this complaint actually had a hint of joy.

The next level up for Huanxi is flirting and teasing. Although it still reaches the level of flirting, isn't Mengmei's background just as pitiful?

"So, are our guests ready to watch this special commemorative projection show for 250 million visitors?"

"Okay, let's begin."

……

Lee Seul-yu sat in the first row of seats.

"Bang!" All the lights in the planetarium went out in an instant.

Then, a beam of white light pierced the darkness and struck Hoshino Yumemi, who was standing in the open space in the center.

"Thank you for visiting the rooftop planetarium of Hualing Department Store."

Her two slender hands rested naturally in front of her, and she stood gracefully. Behind her, a large woven ribbon of butterflies swirled with a blue light in the darkness, enveloping Hoshino Yumemi like a celestial maiden descended from heaven.

"I am Hoshino Yumemi, the guide of this museum."

Her face wore a gentle, moonlit smile, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"Before we begin the projection, let me briefly explain some precautions during the projection process..."

"Mengmei...wait a minute!"

A thought flashed through Li Seyu's mind, causing her to jump up from her seat like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Guests...you can't make loud noises during the projection..."

Mengmei's calm tone carried a hint of reproach, because this went against her duty.

But Seol-ok ignored all of that and instead asked a cruel and practical question:

"The city has long been destroyed... no, it's that the power supply here has dropped significantly to zero. With the planetarium's power reserves, can this projection last until the end?"

Projectors consume a great deal of electricity; to perfectly replicate the vast and boundless starry sky, the energy required may be greater than one can imagine.

Perhaps in the past, with the method of power hibernation, even if it was only activated for seven days a year, the remaining reserve power might only be enough to complete one projection.

Mengmei was taken aback, because in the robot's mind, it was obviously difficult to achieve. She just wanted to project the starry sky for the guests again... For thirty years, she had longed to do this.

"Guest...guest, I'm so sorry, I'm really so sorry..."

As if something bad had been exposed, Mengmei was on the verge of tears. Of course, even though she carried the module that felt guilty for her dereliction of duty, she wouldn't actually cry like a human.

Before she could finish speaking, Se-yu, who had stood up, grabbed her right hand and pulled her toward the rooftop of the planetarium.

“I’ll take you to see real stars!” Seul-yu said.

"But guests, the commemorative projection for the 250 millionth visitor hasn't started yet..."

"next time."

"Sir, it's very rude of you to be grabbing me like this. According to my self-protection protocol, I am now obligated to call security for self-defense. Sir, oh..."

You have no choice!
