The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Feeling the other person's body suddenly tense up as if in a shiver, Tina gently patted her shoulder and smiled sincerely, "Whether it's for your health or for love, thank you for taking care of me all this time~"

This phrase, perhaps, originated from their first meeting: "Please take good care of me."

The world is full of wonders and hopes

There is a miracle in this world called "you".

PUに教えてくれたんだ

It gave me an undying hope.

生きていくmeans はいつでもその心にあるよ

The meaning of living has always been in my heart.

Describe the future

The future depicted is just around the corner.

The world is full of light

There is a light in this world called "you".

小さなこの地のなか広がる黑を光らす

[On this small Earth, it continues to expand, illuminating the darkness.]

The system is empty and the lower part is divided into two parts.

Let's move forward in our own unique way under the interconnected blue sky!

The poem of the beginning is given to るよ歩き出す君へ

This initial poem is dedicated to you as you take your first step.

"Adding 'AI' before the original name definitely feels awkward, doesn't it?"

"But wait a minute, my AI Tina will become the real Tina!"

"This initial poem is dedicated to you as you take your first step."

(When I leave, it will be the end of your life as an AI, and the beginning of a brand new life.)

(When only one soul remains in this body, the stars and moon, who will witness this together, will crown you.)

"At this last moment, please allow me to call you by your new name in advance—"

"Tina, welcome to being human."

[180 I've always wanted to protect you]

[Strongly recommended to enjoy this song with the background music "Heaven is a Place on Earth"]

Although it's an old song, the lyrics fit the mood perfectly.

This dark fairy tale-like ending was too much of a shock to Philip's young and innocent heart, so even after running back, he couldn't stop sobbing and grieving.

Faced with everyone's pressing questions about "what happened?"

In his tearful, childish voice, Philip revealed a reality that struck everyone like a thunderbolt.

Misaka, Ruiko, and all the others witnessed firsthand the beginning of Tina's miraculous encounter with another Tina.

The time they spent together was peaceful and idyllic, filled with constant displays of affection. They had their moments of jealousy and envy... but even so, each of them sincerely wished that the "unbelievable, miraculous encounter and romance" between the AI ​​consciousness and the original Tina could last forever.

...And now, are we just going to let them watch all of this come to an end?

------------

------------

The real Tina gave everything she had to fulfill her wish to become a "human".

This was also the original intention of the main god in sending AI Tina to this world.

The original plan of the main god was to force Tina to live with the main characters such as Misaka Mikoto for a year and a half, and have some indescribable things happen, enough to allow the AI ​​and soul to achieve the final perfect fusion.

But after meeting the trainer, which triggered a brief resurgence of Tina's true consciousness, everything veered off course.

—Rapidly advancing towards an even more insane shortcut!

She falls in love with AI Tina.

However, love is a double-edged sword; it will pierce her soul, leaving it riddled with holes and writhing in agony.

Love is like poppy, an addictive happiness that fills the wounds of the soul. The feeling of "liking her" cannot be changed even if the pain is a hundred times greater.

This shortcut will accelerate the complete fusion of AI and soul state into one body, and is also frantically accelerating the demise of the real Tina.

However, using her remaining life, which should have ended long ago, to pave the way for AI Tina's future may have been a predetermined ending from the beginning of the script.

...And wasn't that also her long-cherished wish?

No need to be sad

No need to be sad

There is no need to reminisce.

If those words were uttered involuntarily, perhaps the last vestiges of emotion stirred by her would hasten Tina's already fading state.

Luckily, I've already said so many sweet nothings before, so many that I've lost count.

Therefore, let's remain silent.

Weiwei gently pulled away from the embrace, forehead to forehead, their eyes meeting, where they could see the glistening tears in the moonlight.

He raised his hands, which had become weak and were about to "lose" them, and pulled the other person's hands into the air as well. He greedily intertwined his fingers with hers, and the warmth of her palm was transferred to his cold hands without any obstruction.

At this moment

AI Tina also became unusually quiet, but the sadness in her eyes remained intense and unyielding.

Under the same sorrowful, watery moonlight, a chilling glow enveloped the girl's body. As the light shone brighter, her soul seemed to lighten.

(Are you still leaving?)

A hint of bitterness vanished in an instant, and a captivating, faint smile returned to her lips. The name she spoke was no longer "AI Tina."

"If there is an afterlife, I would still want to be Tina's wife..."

Have you ever seen fireflies?

Have you ever seen... the Milky Way?

Like millions of fireflies suddenly scattering in all directions, or like the Milky Way collapsing in a chain reaction.

The other Tina's consciousness, projected onto Kazezaki, was in this state.

And the girl was so kind that even in death, she would fade away amidst this dreamlike, beautiful scene.

Those red fragments, like scattered starlight, slowly drifted away from the body.

Red has always been their favorite color.

The moment the hands intertwined with the girl's turned into fragments of light in the hazy light, the force of the falling hands caused the hand-shaped fragments of light to dissipate and scatter.

Every part of her body was rapidly entering this state of shattered light, as if a slight gust of wind could blow her away without a trace.

But only those starry eyes, filled with endless longing and tenderness, remained there, like the most precious rubies in the world, gazing at the girl with their last lingering affection.

The sadness in the eyes of the girl being gazed upon gradually faded away, as if in a strange manner.

The strange silence that replaced sadness became something even the real Tina, who considered herself another version of herself, couldn't understand.

"Hey"

AI Tina spoke softly, her voice hoarse and trembling, calm yet filled with a profound sense of desolation.

"Whether it's the original AI or this body..."

"I took everything from you!"

Even so, you don't hate me?

AI Tina is aware that there is another soul within her, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this soul is the culprit behind everything.

But, do you hate it?

Rather than saying it took everything away, it's more accurate to say it inherited everything and gave it new life.

Therefore, she not only doesn't hate, but also wants to fulfill AI Tina's long-cherished wish by destroying herself.

"Just as you said, you only get to appear once in the world of Dragon Maid... If you hadn't saved me then... you could have easily taken everything back, right..."

Why not do that?

The girl's body was still in a state of dissipating light.

At a time like this, even if one doesn't burst into tears, they should at least remain silent and gaze deeply into each other's eyes until the very last moment—that's the normal way to behave.

But then AI Tina started complaining, which left the real Tina somewhat amused and exasperated.

Looking at her body, which had already dissipated by a third, her slightly dimmed red eyes still held deep affection: "Because... I couldn't bear to part with it..."

"So, I'd be willing to do that?!"

At this moment, the crying that had clearly stopped started again, and tears streamed down her face once more.

"If becoming human means losing you... I don't want that...!!!"

"I can't live without you tomorrow..."

The sudden, overwhelming surge of intense emotion threatened to encroach upon the last remaining foothold of my frail soul.
