The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Although the body was not identified, the terrifying man gave them the feeling of a blood-stained executioner, so the meaning of that snap was obvious.

Fubuki Toshinobu was forced to join their camp; he wasn't a villain. But seeing the villainous leader's life end as easily as a candle being extinguished, he didn't know how to feel.

"Hey, you've jinxed Brother Fu to death..."

Fubuki Toshinobu couldn't help but take a breath, and with the intention of livening up the atmosphere, he made a sarcastic remark.

The curly-haired youth recovered from his shock.

Then, instead of laughing, he chuckled, his eyes filled with madness.

"That guy must be an ability user too... Killing an unarmed scientist, what kind of skill is that! Are we 'wise men' whose wisdom surpasses that of ordinary people just supposed to be ridiculed, bullied, or even killed by ability users?!"

"...Everything needed for the revolution is ready. We have no way out! We will fulfill Fu's last wish—to vote in favor of an early start to the revolution!!!"

The curly-haired young man raised his hand first.

His declaration of shared hatred for the enemy truly resonated with the scientists.

Yes, this Academy City has always placed too much emphasis on Ability Users. Even a guinea pig like Misaka Mikoto, once she reaches Level 5, doesn't have many friends flocking to her. And what deep darkness must these neglected scientists be harboring...?

Febri and her sister Jenny are their creations, artificial humans with abilities. If powerful ability users can be mass-produced through science, then ability users will be reduced to lowly beings! In that case, Academy City will be controlled by their "wise men"!

What a great and noble revolution this is!

Thus, in the dimly lit laboratory, one after another, raised hands stood tall.

Fu Chunshu was indeed willing to die rather than confess, because no one expected him to be so decisive in killing people.

After dealing with Fu Chunshu, they first confiscated his handheld computer, mobile phone, and other items, and then dumped the body in a deserted corner.

Then, the training officer secretly left from another direction and circled around to behind Misaka Mikoto and the others.

Meanwhile, after the crisis, which wasn't even a real problem, was resolved, AI Tina thanked her (meddlesome) older sister.

Febri, still shaken, clung to the gentle Tina, clutching the balloon.

While Philip was enjoying Tina's concern, he also secretly glanced at the other Tina who had just saved him and helped him retrieve the balloon several times.

"You're a womanizer," Tina said gently, playfully pinching Febri's cute little nose.

Febri asked, bewildered, "What is a 'heartbreaker'...?"

"I'm not quite sure...maybe...it means liking two people at the same time?"

Febri lowered his head and murmured softly, "...Um, can't I like two Tinas at the same time? Being able to only choose one...it's too, too difficult."

The girl's eyes darted around, a sly smile flashing across them: "Febri-chan isn't grown up yet, she doesn't know what liking someone is, so for now, I can allow you to be fickle... When you grow up, you absolutely can't do that anymore, okay?"

"Hmm!" Febri raised his purple, crystal-like eyes and asked her in a low voice, "...Then, Tina-chan, are you also fickle?"

"of course not."

Febri glanced at someone again: "...Where's Tina?"

Tina laughed and said, "Didn't I say, of course not!"

A blank look appeared on her little face. For a moment, Febri couldn't figure out the meaning behind her words. Just as he was about to ask her again, Tina stood up and asked the person behind her, "Instructor, what you just said..."

%

The instructor certainly wouldn't say that he killed a plotter as a warning to others.

"Hmm... It's nothing. I found this on a suspicious person nearby."

The trainer took out a handheld computer and a mobile phone: "The loss of control of the autonomous robot is not accidental. Perhaps we can find something suspicious from this, so..."

He coughed slightly, glanced at the other Tina who was talking to Misaka and the others, then looked back. Just as he was about to say something, the real Tina smiled slightly and said, "Instructor, you want me to give this to the other Tina, right?"

"Um…"

“Even though our relationship isn’t the same as during training, the instructor can still talk to me normally, so why can’t you treat her normally? She’s also Tina, she’s also your student, and she—she also deeply respects and loves you, Instructor!”

AI Tina, who was not far away, heard this and blushed slightly.

Febri had contact with both the trainer and AI Tina. With her little mouth pouting and a lollipop in her mouth, she ruthlessly revealed a fact:

"Because Tina is a tsundere, and this handsome older man is also a tsundere. How can two tsunderes have a normal conversation?"

Perhaps only a serious superior-subordinate relationship during missions allows for proper communication, even more so than with anyone else, and it has always been like that... So once that connection is gone, the stubborn repulsion is hard to overcome, even if they still have feelings for each other.

Febri's incisive words prompted the instructor to cough somewhat awkwardly before ordering her, "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Okay, I got it!"

Tina stuck out her pink tongue, made a face, and then took the suspicious person's belongings.

Misaka Mikoto and her friends are inspecting a broken-down robot vacuum cleaner.

They were quite surprised when they discovered that these guys didn't even have batteries installed.

Afterwards, Tina used her abilities to analyze the handheld computer and communication terminal that contained relics of the Fuchun Tree.

A moment later, AI Tina slowly opened her pair of sharp and intimidating red eyes.

"How is it?" Misaka Mikoto asked.

"..." AI Tina silently concealed the fact that there were yuri doujinshi featuring Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko on his handheld computer.

After considering for a moment, AI Tina glanced at Febri, who was clinging to another Tina, and sighed, "Let's talk somewhere else."

In a super department store, AI Tina, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten Ruiko sat down around a long table in an air-conditioned rest area.

In addition, Tina took Febri to browse the children's clothing and toy sections, with the training officer acting as her bodyguard, accompanying them.

AI Tina wouldn't hesitate to ask her trainer for help with anything that was beyond her control and required her intervention. But in this world, she was probably more than capable of handling most things.

"What?! Febri is a cyborg?!"

Upon learning the truth, Ruiko was greatly surprised.

"The androids are alright, but that robot is truly unbelievable..." Kuroko turned his head to the side, it was unclear who he was referring to.

Have you ever tried Febri's candy?

"Lollipops, I've secretly licked one..." Haru raised her hand. "How should I put it, it's hard to imagine that the cute Febri would have such a strong taste... um, I mean the taste of lollipops."

"Of course—because according to the currently available data, it is a neutralizer of toxins."

...

[Thanks to Black Moon Rock and Serandis for the donations, and thanks to Sister Huo for the 2-word whip... ah, I mean encouragement]

[Let me see if I can add an extra chapter for Miss Huo today!]

[171 is probably the King's Armory]

"A toxin neutralizer?" Misaka Mikoto frowned, immediately becoming worried. "...What? Febri...she's been poisoned?!"

“Yes!” AI Tina nodded. “...Every time she metabolizes, she produces a certain amount of toxins. These toxins accumulate in her body, and if they are not dealt with, they will accumulate and cause internal organ dysfunction, eventually... leading to death.”

"—Thanks to that candy, which contained ingredients that neutralized toxins, her life was practically sustained by the candy."

"Wait a minute!"

The topic abruptly shifted from the runaway robots to Febri. Kuroko suddenly realized something, looked at Tina with a hesitant expression, and said:

"These electronic devices used to obtain intelligence were seized by Tina's trainer from a suspicious person, who might be the culprit controlling the security robots and targeting Febri... Could it be... that they are perverts who kidnap young girls!?"

"No, no!"

Kuroko quickly denied his own idea, stroking his chin thoughtfully, "...Since the suspect has detailed information about Febri, it means...it's very likely that the android Febri was created by them!?"

"Such a lovely child, this is just too absurd..."

"Bingo"

However, AI Tina's voice interrupted Saten Ruiko's reflections.

"That's exactly why they're targeting Febri; they want to 'take her back'..."

AI Tina lowered her eyelids and continued, "Remember when Febri mentioned a sister named Jenny? She's also an android, and a powerful one at that... And this group's insane plan is to use the androids' abilities to violently usher in an era of 'technology dominating Academy City and relegating those with abilities to the bottom' on the day the Academic Council convenes. They call it the 'Silent Party'."

"Using...violence?" Misaka Mikoto frowned. "And...the abilities of androids?"

"This refers to Jenny's ability, 'Diffusion Agent.' Its specific principles weren't recorded in the suspects' electronic devices; more detailed information should be found in their hideout."

"...As for the so-called violence, according to the data, the plan is to use 20,000 Drive Armor units that are lurking among them to invade on the day of the Academic Association, thereby declaring sovereignty...or, in other words, to announce the arrival of a new era to Academy City."

"What!?" Kuroko jumped up, slammed his hand on the table, and stared wide-eyed. "Twenty-two thousand Drive Armor? How is that possible! Putting aside the question of how to obtain twenty thousand Drive Armor, transporting them into the venue without a sound is unimaginably difficult!"

"It's possible that this organization is a powerful, clandestine entity behind the scenes."

"The Dark Guard..."

Misaka Mikoto recalled the verbal sparring she'd had with Mugino Shizuri and her group, and her expression suddenly changed. She calmly analyzed the situation:

"Indeed, there is darkness behind Academy City, but it doesn't matter... because the two most important issues right now are, firstly, the candy problem that sustains Febri's life, and secondly, how to resolve the turmoil that happened at the Academy Association that day."

“Speaking of candy…” Ruiko gritted her teeth unwillingly and said, “I’ve seen Philip’s handbag. Even though it’s full of candy, it will eventually run out. Philip…”

AI Tina calmly comforted her, "It's okay. Since those guys created Febri, they must have the formula for the neutralizer. As long as we can get the sample data, we can mass-produce it."

"By the way, Kuroko, how many days until the academic conference starts?" Misaka asked.

Kuroko nodded, gazing at the ceiling, and said uncertainly, "It seems... to be four or five days...?"
