The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Surprisingly, Levia didn't seem too bothered by the answer. In fact, her expression and voice were quite light as she said, "...Um, when are you going back?"

Lightness comes after pain.

Even if it was only for a fleeting moment, a piercing pain did flash across her expression, though Leviathan didn't see it.

Hearing her nonchalant tone, Leviathan thought to herself, "Her proposal during the day was probably just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"It will probably be three days from now, on the night of the full moon..."

“Three days, the arrangements for a large concert are quite complicated. There’s not much time to spare…” Shokuhou looked up, staring blankly at the cold moon, her eyes slightly determined. “However, maybe we can make it.”

A thank you almost slipped out, but the girl swallowed it back. After hesitating for a moment, Leviathan timidly reached out her small hand and took one of her snow-white, soft hands in hers.

Then, Misaki Shokuhou took her hand in return and started walking briskly. Her voice, which had been choked with sobs, suddenly broke into a laugh as she gently scolded, "Let's go! You pretentious bitch... you bitch, yes! You bitch! Humph!"

Levia puffed out her chest, raised her eyes, and rolled her eyes at her.

"Well... whatever you like."

As the seasons changed and night fell, the stars shifted and darkness descended.

Tina and her two companions arrived near Tokiwadai Middle School. They intended to go straight back to the school dormitory to say goodbye to their trainer, but the trainer requested to speak with the real Tina alone for a few minutes.

He didn't understand why he used the tone of "request." Perhaps subconsciously he had already acknowledged that the two of them were inseparable, so he borrowed one of them... Of course, he had to use the word "request."

AI Tina did not refuse.

She then moved 50 meters away, knowing that since it was a conversation between the real Tina and her instructor, she had no need to eavesdrop.

The communication terminal vibrated. It turned out that Misaka Mikoto was worried and wanted to come find her, so AI Tina gave her the address.

At this moment, under a huge banyan tree with a massive canopy.

"Instructor, are you... are you going to punish Tina?"

Tina tilted her head slightly, looking at him with teary eyes, "Because I played all afternoon and neglected training, I... I was laughing and acting very improperly. Eight years ago, I would definitely have been severely punished."

These ambiguous words, for the first time, gave the instructor a major headache. He couldn't help but touch his nose, shifting his gaze slightly, and said in an unquestionable, commanding tone:

"Yes, speaking of corporal punishment... the rules need to be changed. Starting today, if you don't smile one day, you will be punished."

"Yes! Tina received it!"

Standing ramrod straight, she gave the man a perfect military salute, her eyes flashing with a sly glint of triumph.

This scene seemed to deeply move the instructor, who remained stunned for a full two seconds before being pulled back to his senses by Tina's voice: "Eh—Instructor?"

"Oh..." The instructor regained his serious expression and stared at her, asking, "Tina, during the day, your body..."

"Oh, that's probably because Kazakiri Hyouka has an unstable physical form."

She resorted to the same excuse she used to fool AI Tina.

I wonder what Kazakiri Hyouka, who has been constantly taking the blame, is thinking now.

The instructor simply stared into her eyes: "Freshman Code, Article 3: Any act of lying will result in permanent disqualification from becoming a Sealer."

Tina's expression froze, and after a long while, she slowly lowered her head.

She secretly glanced over, making sure AI Tina wasn't eavesdropping, before clutching the hem of her clothes and turning back to say, "Instructor, I can tell you, but you absolutely mustn't, under any circumstances, say a single word to her, otherwise... otherwise even if my soul were to dissipate now, I would still harbor resentment towards this world!"

Wolf Uncle sensed the seriousness of the situation from the girl's words, his heart pounding as if struck by a hammer. His gaze sharpened instantly, becoming as fixed as a sword. However, just as he was about to nod solemnly, Tina suddenly said:

"...I'm sorry, instructor..."

The girl, her hand supporting her forehead, looked at him apologetically with tired eyes. "My mental strength... is a little insufficient. Well then, I'll have to tell the instructor next time..."

The words fell.

A white halo emanated from the top of her head, the power emanating from the core of Feng Zhan's body.

The milky white light completely enveloped her figure. After a moment, when the white light faded, Feng Zhan Binghua's original body appeared before the instructor.

The process was unusually calm.

"You are..." The training officer regained his senses and looked at the girl he had never met before with a question in his mind, even though he had already guessed it.

"I...I am Kazaki Hyouka!"

Intimidated by the man's imposing presence and status, Feng Zhan quickly bowed and reassured him in a tense tone, "Instructor... Instructor, please allow me to address you that way! Tina... she's alright, at least for now! It's just a routine rest period! So, please don't worry."

The instructor nodded; he knew all too well whether someone was lying.

"Thank you for your help during this time."

“…No, it’s alright.” Feng Zhan immediately shook his head and gave him a cautious smile. “Being able to help Tina…and also experience various emotions myself, it’s a win-win situation.”

And at this time.

AI Tina, Misaka Mikoto, and Kuroko walked towards this place together.

The instructor straightened his collar, said "I'll come again tomorrow," and turned to leave, his figure disappearing into the darkness.

Misaka, who had caught up with him, watched his departing figure and said somewhat dejectedly, "I mean, did that old man... hate us that much? He looked like he was trying to avoid us like the plague."

"I don't dislike it at all..."

AI Tina watched his figure quickly disappear into the darkness, recalling his awkward meeting with Tina, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Perhaps... he's just not very good at dealing with girls."

"—He's clearly such an amazing person." After saying that, he added meaningfully.

“Tina…”

Feng Zhan walked up to Tina.

"Did she... go back again?"

The girl looked at Feng Zhan, her lips pursed, and her tone was tinged with resentment, "Did you sneak back again while I wasn't around?"

"Please don't say that, after all... it's not something she can control," Feng Zhan explained to the real Tina.

AI Tina, unusually gentle, stepped forward and took Kazezaki's hand, then forcibly pulled Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto's hands together.

“This, this is…” Feng Zhan asked.

"This is my older sister, Misaka Mikoto, and this is... this is Shirai Kuroko. Because... because you are all my friends, I hope you can get to know each other."

Seeing Kazezaki's shy expression, Misaka Mikoto roughly understood what he meant, so she took the initiative to smile and strike up a conversation: "Hello, my name is Misaka Mikoto, nice to meet you!"

"Shirai Kuroko... It doesn't matter what happens since it has nothing to do with Onee-sama, but please remember my name too." Kuroko said with a haughty air, seemingly unwilling.

Kazakiri Hyouka, who considered herself a monster, was overjoyed to have made two friends at once: "I... Kazakiri Hyouka! Please take care of me too!"

This scene seemed to overlap with the scene during the day when Tina pulled herself to reconcile with Misaki Shokuhou.

Because of the real Tina, he has become more considerate of others, and remains her "instructor" as always.

Hey, did you see that? I'm becoming more and more like you.

The next day was a school holiday.

Neither Misaka Mikoto nor Shirai Kuroko had any classes.

I received a dose of electrotherapy this morning, and now I feel incredibly refreshed and like I could punch a bull to death.

They planned to start a "book club" for a group including Haru and Saten Ruiko, a "book club" started for the purpose of "reading".

Those accompanying them included Tina and Kazan Himeka.

The other adorable Tina hasn't woken up yet, and Kazezaki is thoroughly enjoying his time with his new friend.

The "book club" was set up at Saten Ruiko's house. Under the blazing sun, Misaka and her group were shopping for groceries at a supermarket.

Tina asked, "So, big sister, why do you need to buy food to go to the book club?"

"The prerequisite for reading is to fill your stomach and conserve your energy."

"So, why buy ten boxes of beef just to fill our stomachs? Is Big Sister actually planning to go to summer camp?"

“Uh…” Misaka said, “Because I felt it would be a waste not to use Tina’s imaginary space ability, so I’m going to find something for your imaginary space to do!”

What you said makes a lot of sense; even imaginary space would want to punch someone if it heard that.

However, given her master's character setting, Tina wouldn't maliciously expose Misaka's secrets, so she asked Kuroko, "...Why did you buy a turtle when you went to the book club?"

Hei Zi made up a story: "Because Jia Yu said he also wanted to join the book club. He must be studying hard because he wants to change his fate of being cooked alive, so I granted his wish!"

However, half an hour later, at noon, at Saten Ruiko's house, the turtle that Kuroko claimed wanted to join the book club was successfully put into the hot pot. With sesame oil, minced garlic, vinegar, salt and MSG, it was immediately devoured by several pairs of chopsticks.

The turtle said: In the end, I still couldn't change my fate!

Tina replied: It's not your fault. I already knew when I realized that my sister and Kuroko's bags were still in the dormitory.

No, this is not a study session at all!

It was these despicable guys who used Tina and the imaginary space to fill it with beef, vegetables, meatballs, and all sorts of noodles! They were having a summer hot pot feast!

Grinning—

Whether they study or not has nothing to do with me, but Tina really hates hot pot because it's too high in calories.

"Then I'll blow on it to cool it down for you and feed you."

The voice that suddenly echoed in her mind made the girl's heartstrings tremble. She gently curled the corners of her lips and said, "Then... can I feed you with my mouth?"

...

...

...

I, Feng Zhan Binghua, am sending money! ...Hmm, the chapter title is unclear.

[Thank you Hibiki for the generous donation of 10,000... Wait, wait, wait, I feel like I've seen so many Hibiki before, I don't even know which one it is~]

[Leave of absence slip dated the 17th]
