The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

At first, I thought they needed a refrigerator to freeze cold drinks, but I didn't expect that after Seul-yu generated electricity for the refrigerator, she would throw the seriously injured Tina inside.

This is murder, isn't it? Right?

Even I once made that judgment myself. Later, when Tina's wounds healed and she woke up, I realized that such a thing really existed, but that's another story.

Directly related to this incident was that Seul-yu stayed up for two days and two nights charging the refrigerator.

Afterwards, she even told me not to tell Tina no matter what. I agreed? Of course not.

【Heiyan Shu】

Hei Yanshu had been secretly observing from the rooftop for a long time, as if she was afraid of someone, and hadn't dared to come in. In the end, I took the initiative to approach her.

"Um, Mengmei, is Tina... alright?"

【Dream Beauty】

"..."

But at the time, I couldn't be sure about Tina's condition inside the refrigerator.

Actually, I thought he was frozen stiff, but adhering to the best principle of reporting good news and not bad news, I didn't say anything.

【black Rock Shooter】

"I hope Mengmei can convey this message: from this day forward, my life, Hei Yanshu's life, belongs solely to her..."

But I will disappear for a long time, because I need to become stronger than this world to be qualified to keep my promise... and protect it.

She left in a hurry after she finished speaking.

It was so fast that I didn't even have time to ask her if she needed to leave Tina something to remember her by.

【Dream Beauty】

"Rest assured, guest, this is an important instruction and we will definitely relay it to you."

Although I didn't quite understand Kuroiwa's parting words, "I will never let the same tragedy happen a second time."

But for robots, it is essential to prioritize the customer's needs above all else.

【Dream Beauty】

"Guest, may I enjoy the special commemorative projection for the 250 millionth visitor?"

Lee Seul-ok is the guest I care about most and like the most.

She worked tirelessly for two days and two nights, charging the refrigerator. She must have been exhausted.

The way they desperately and persistently throw themselves into love like moths to a flame is something even a cheap robot like me can't help but be moved by.

So at that moment, I sent her a projection invitation.

Lee Seul-yuk

"Mememi, can your wish be simpler? The one you mentioned before, it's really, really impossible to fulfill."

Seol-yu has always wanted to fulfill her wish, but... why?

However, robots cannot lie to themselves.

【Dream Beauty】

"Sure. Because when a customer asks about your wishes, you must answer honestly. And now, there are two alternative wishes: one is a backup wish stored in your private database, and the other is a wish derived from long-term self-judgment."

"First alternative wish:"

I hope that many more viewers can appreciate the starry sky projected by me. In my memory, the largest audience I've ever seen was 6000 people at the National Astronomical Museum. I hope... even more!

Seol-yu said that was impossible, as there were no more than 20 living people in the entire sealed city.

"Second alternative wish: "

"I hope that you (Seul-yu) can fall in love with Tina again and stay with her forever."

Without hesitation, Seyu said: Let’s talk about the first point.

[Yuri]

Later, Yuri told me:

Because when a person's heart is dead, even life itself becomes meaningless.

All that Captain Lee Seul-ok is doing for Tina now can only be explained as repaying the kindness shown to her as a friend.

If it's about 'an eye for an eye' and making Tina experience the pain of unrequited love, then it could also be described as... a twisted and perverse form of revenge?

【Dream Beauty】

After that, the long-awaited projection could finally begin.

Please refrain from talking during the projection to avoid disturbing other guests.

Please mute your watch and phone before starting.

"Please refrain from eating and smoking in the projection room."

Finally, let me introduce the "important partner" who invites you to the world of stars.

The opening remarks that I had long ago memorized finally came in handy after 29 years and 81 days, and I was filled with gratitude at that moment.

Two spheres of different sizes, each surrounded by numerous mirrors, are connected by an axis.

—My partner 'Jena' projects an incredibly vast sea of ​​stars onto the small planetarium.

Tina

"..."

The refrigerator door was pushed open from the inside, and another lucky guest joined the party.

Tina looked confused after waking up.

Although he immediately noticed Lee Seul-ok's unusually pale face beside him, he paused for a moment, but didn't say a word.

Lee Seul-yuk

"What a coincidence! The projection has just started."

Seol-yuk tried her best to smile.

But Tina on the other side only nodded in response, and I felt sorry for Seul-yu.

Even if Tina woke up after Seul-yu had stopped discharging electricity, and even if she didn't understand Seul-yu's sacrifices, she shouldn't have been stingy with even a smile, right?

Perhaps Tina's mecha doesn't have a smile module?

【Dream Beauty】

"The most striking feature of the Pegasus constellation is that its three stars α, β, and γ, along with Andromeda's α star, form an almost square shape, known as the Autumn Square. The Great Square of Pegasus is the most dazzling constellation in the northern sky during autumn..."

Jena was operating using the planetarium's last backup power source, and the swirling sphere released a dreamlike, ethereal blue light.

It creates a starry sky atmosphere, and I try to slow down my narration to accommodate the guests' needs.

Lyra...

Ursa Major...

There's also Sagittarius, and so on.

Thanks to Seul-yu, I saw real stars and had more time to do other things, for which I am very grateful.

We're both robots, but compared to me, Seulgi likes Tina way more.

Even on that heart-wrenching night, I was nothing more than a substitute for Tina…

(Huh? What am I thinking?)

The only way I can repay Seul-yu is to work together with Jena to project the most beautiful and breathtaking starry sky.

But even that is no longer possible.

'Swoosh—'

The wailing of the power switch shattered my simple, extravagant hopes, along with the starry sky projected from the dome.

【Dream Beauty】

"Power outage! Waaah... Guest, I'm so sorry, due to unforeseen circumstances, the projection cannot continue. I will contact..."

Although I had anticipated this situation, it wasn't until it actually happened that I truly experienced the feeling of confusion and helplessness.

Seol-yu...she must be my angel.

Because she immediately noticed my panic, she promptly interrupted me, defusing the awkward situation and saving my self-esteem as an incompetent commentator.

【Seyu】

"I still have some strength left, let me use it."

Seyu extended her hand and said.

Twisted electric snakes coiled up from her rounded arms.

Arcs of electricity crackled and flickered between his fingers.

However, after two days and two nights of attrition, the electricity that Seol-Yu released was not only completely intimidating, but even its light had dimmed to a meager level.

Even the lightning was clearly struggling; it had had enough of being exploited by Seol-yu for three days straight, and all for the sake of someone who had killed its heart!

The not-so-powerful energy wave pierced through the void and poured into the projection machine 'Jena'.

The star chart reappeared, but Hoshino Yumemi no longer had the heart to say anything.

【Dream Beauty】

"The...and the Alpha Andromeda...it..."

There's so much to say, for example:

"Millions of years ago, primates revered the stars that illuminated the night sky as deities."

"In the more recent history, humans were still superstitious about using stars to divine the future, but there were also astrologers who had begun to classify the constellations."

"With the development of modern science, the mysteries of the stars have been unveiled. The stars are no longer unattainable deities, but rather bear the wishes of millions of people. The starlight shines brightly in the cold and lonely universe and travels far and wide."

"In modern times, with the moon landing, humanity began to truly step out of its home—Earth—and venture into the universe."
