The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Page 154

"Space probes floating in the dark universe have uncovered more secrets of celestial phenomena."

"Even in this day and age, with the highly advanced technology and civilization of humankind, all kinds of robots have been invented and manufactured."

"War robots that defend their homeland, like fiddler crabs with automated turrets."

"There are also etiquette robots, like me, that are based on 'humans' and are particularly good at smiling and conversing."

During the commentary, I was worried and observing Seul-yu's condition every single second.

She gave me a gentle smile, encouraging me.

Like the warm winter sun, Lee Seul-ok is just like the robot god I envisioned in my mind.

She gave me life, gave Jena life, gave... the life of the stars.

I respect, even admire, this guest.

Her smile made me want to stay no matter what.

But I must finish the projection completely.

So, I... continued.

"Population issues, resource issues, food issues, water issues, rising sea levels, abnormal climate, air pollution, and even space territory issues..."

"There are still all sorts of disputes and conflicts in the world today."

"However, I believe..."

"Humanity will surely solve all problems, and one day, we will soar through the starry sky."

Seol-yu's guests are almost at their limit.

I think I've seen this scene before.

I've seen paper boats dropped by toddlers in the rushing water.

I've seen kites soaring in the suddenly unrestrained wind.

Seol-yu, the guest, is currently in this state.

Her eyes blinked intermittently, but her smile remained as heartbreaking as ever.

I really envy robots that have a crying function.

So, I'd definitely cry now, wouldn't I? Because that sadness is already overflowing. I think if I had that ability, I would cry a lot.

Because it was a cheap robot, I didn't cry or sob.

I said:

"So, when you are trapped in darkness and can't see the real starry sky, please remember this scene. It is one of my little dreams."

Tina

"That's enough...!"

Her shrill, trembling voice reminded me of the cuckoo's cry of blood.

She roughly slapped Seryu's arm away; the weak arc of electricity twisted in the air before dissipating, and the projector Jena stopped working.

In the pitch-black planetarium, the mournful cries of Tina, one of the guests, echoed:

"If you continue, you will die..."

"Please... Seul-yu, stop..."

Lee Seul-yuk

"Tina..."

The guest, Seol-yu, seemed to have suddenly fainted.

In the final moments before she drifted into a deep sleep, she struggled to open her dim yet gentle starry eyes, uttering a soft, almost inaudible whisper:

"I...don't owe...you anything..., right...?"

"Um... I... meant... today... and from now on..."

The guest, Seol-yu, is asleep.

I know that her consciousness has entered the stars.

The planetarium's special glass allows for a transparent view when looking out from inside.

Therefore, the azure celestial body above us expanded with an extraordinary radiance, and in an instant, that power dyed the night sky with its color—a magnificent spectacle that we, in the planetarium, could all see clearly.

【Star】

[Make a wish: Use all the power of the stars to make a wish]

(Like 'The Story I Wrote for You', although it transcends order at the level of laws, its effect is limited and only works to a certain extent.)

I am Hoshino Yumemi

Mengmei already knows Captain Seul-yu's wish.

She made a wish and created a stage for me—

The night sky, which should be a deep, starless darkness, is now filled with a long river of azure stars.

The night sky thousands of miles away, and the night sky across the entire hemisphere, are all the same.

Meanwhile, whether it's the daytime in the other hemisphere or the space that can be directly observed from the lunar surface, you can see that starry sky simply by looking up.

Whether it's day or night, whether it's Earth or space

Humans, regardless of where they are—even those in underground shelters beneath desolate snowfields.

Or the nuns of Jerusalem and the stationed South American coalition forces

Or perhaps he is a decrepit and incompetent ruler, whose true name is "Destroyer," living in a shabby palace on the moon's surface.

This starry sky was created by sacrificing everything, using Seol-yu's star as a sacrifice.

Starting with sealed cities, it spread to oceans and continents, until its radiance enveloped the entire Earth and soared into space.

It appears in the sky above all living humans in the present world in a strange and unknown form.

This is a unique stage for the starry sky in the world, transcending spatial limitations and connecting the entire Earth-Moon system, allowing any human being to appreciate it.

Even if the war affected 99% of humanity, the remaining population across Earth and the lunar colonies would still far exceed 6000. Seol-yu has achieved my long-cherished wish.

[Yuri]

Later, I heard from Yuri that if my wish was fulfilled, the 'mission' would be completed, and Tina would not die.

But in return, Star lost all her power; that is to say, Seulgi lost all her talents.

For a girl who has spent her entire life striving to become stronger and achieve her goals, losing the talent to become stronger is a blow tens of thousands of times more terrifying than death.

At that moment, I was stunned; the system was incapable of thought.

Why doesn't Seul-yu fulfill my second wish? Shouldn't it be helping others achieve their dreams by making her fall in love with Tina again?

Why would I rather lose my most important talent than choose the first one...?

Also, why is the root of everything Tina's problem, and not... himself?

And why did I care about such a thing back then? Was I a fake robot?

[Yuri]

"Tina, actually, Seulgi anticipated that you would stop her, so she..."

"That day you were with Black Rock, and you happened to see the rest of your lifespan. Whether it was a once-in-a-lifetime wish from a star or abandoning all your talents, everything Seulgi did was just to save you..."

Later, Yuri answered my question above.

She said that even if Seul-yu did everything in her power to save her, Seul-yu's heart had already died. There was no way she could suddenly change her mind and fall in love with Tina again.

Seul-yu has always been a proud person in every aspect, including her views on love. Afterwards, how much effort will it take to win back Seul-yu's true heart? It all depends on Tina.

Tina

"..."

The happiest thing for me that day:

The culprit who witnessed all of this, 'Tina'

Her regret after understanding everything

Her voice was hoarse, choked with sobs, and filled with sorrow.

She felt guilty, remorseful, and in pain...

In her final moments, she devoted herself to staying by the side of the sleeping girl, until the world gradually turned pale and shattered under some force.

【Dream Beauty】

As a witness, I too was there in the final moments.

Standing at the very center of the 'Earth, Moon and Starry Sky Stage'

In the Name of the Stars

I said

"Today, I—commentator Hoshino Yumemi—stand under the shared starry sky of the Earth-Moon system to relay a confession requested by a client."

"In the name of the stars, I love you, Tina."
