The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

“Me too…” Tina raised her hand and said.

"Huh, is Tina also asking to be taken care of?" Harby was stunned.

"No... I... I just need money... to buy things..." the girl stammered as she explained.

"Well, this money is for you guys anyway, just like Violet's. Is one million enough?"

The rent in residential areas of Shibuya is not cheap. Even if the rent is paid every six months, it will cost at least several hundred thousand yen. Let's assume that there are five people in the sheep team.

Tina nodded.

After swiftly completing the transfer for the two people.

Tina then said, "Excuse me for a moment."

Tina got up and went to the bathroom. Through Neuro Li.nker, she transferred one million to Lee Seul-ok and left a message: "Don't stay in hotels anymore, find a bigger house to live in. This is all the money I have left."

Before Seul-yu could be moved to tears, Tina had already left Neuro Li.nker and returned to the living room.

So, does this count as keeping a mistress...?

The city lights shone brightly at night, and pedestrians thronged the streets. Various Japanese delicacies lined the streets, tempting one's mouth.

Having been in this world for almost a day, they stood on the crowded overpass. For a moment, Uncle J was moved as he looked at the hazy lights and smelled the fragrance lingering in the air.

"Why don't you sleep here tonight?" Uncle J said.

“Yeah, I was so busy playing Neuro Li.nker and Brain Burst that I didn’t even realize it was evening,” Lee Se-hyuk sighed.

"Hey, don't give up hope." Xiaomi lowered her wrist, shifting her gaze from the watch to the two faces. "The captain and the others have already rented a place!"

"Where did Lee Seul-ok get the money?" Lee Se-hyuk asked in surprise.

Uncle J gazed at the distant lights: "That girl Li Seyu is shrewd and capable, it's not surprising that she can make money."

"Ugh, so annoying! Can't I sell speed-up points? I earned hundreds of speed-up points in a day, but it's not even enough to fill my stomach. Playing games really can't put food on the table... Hey! Who bumped into me?!"

Lee Se-hyuk was bumped hard and had to hold onto the overpass railing to regain his balance.

He turned around in a flash and saw a black-clad boy who almost fell over.

He gestured to Se-hyuk to wait a moment, then adjusted his Bluetooth headset and desperately tried to comfort the other person with a mournful face, "Ah, I know... um... Asuna, don't worry, I will definitely find your figure for you, I absolutely, absolutely won't slack off... that's settled for now, don't be angry anymore!"

The young man in black breathed a sigh of relief as he pressed the button on his earpiece to end the call. He then apologized, saying, "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

Then his tone changed, and his gaze toward Lee Se-hyuk suddenly became serious and sharp. He said solemnly, "...There is something very important. For your safety, please come with me."

Se-hyuk narrowed his eyes and carefully examined the black-clad youth in front of him.

Regardless of her height, hairstyle, eye color, face shape, or even her restrained yet sharp gaze, she gave him the illusion of looking in a mirror.

so similar!

Even Uncle J leaned close to Se-hyuk's ear and said, "Hey, I'm saying this guy isn't your long-lost brother, is he?"

He rolled his eyes at Uncle J, then rubbed his stomach and smiled slightly: "Well, if you can treat us to a good meal, we can come with you."

Ten minutes later.

Inside a mid-range Japanese restaurant, in a private room that looked quite upscale.

The black-haired boy's name is Kiritani Kazuto.

He didn't bump into Lee Se-hyuk on flat ground; rather, he was so shocked when he overheard Lee Se-hyuk casually saying things like "Brain Burst" and "acceleration point" in public that he accidentally bumped into him.

He was well aware of the consequences of overclockers revealing "Brain Burst" to ordinary people, but why had he kindly informed them and then inexplicably treated them to a meal?

and also……

This guy who calls himself Lee Se-hyuk really looks like me.

On the table laden with dishes, the Black Sheep trio, including Mistin, were starving and wolfing down their food.

Kirito had obviously already eaten, but he sat across the table with a slight frown on his face.

"Overclockers? You must be newcomers to Brain Burst?"

"As for newbies... I only started playing today, so I guess I could say that... By the way, what's the maximum level in Brain Burst... is it level 100?"

Lee Se-hyuk asked back while swallowing his food.

The question posed startled Kirito, who grinned and said, "...Level 10 is the highest."

Lee Se-hyuk looked up: "How is that possible... I passed Level 4 in just one day..."

Kirito's eyes widened: "Huh, we're not playing the same game???"

Lee Se-hyuk pointed with his chopsticks at Mistin beside him: "Our gun king Mistin is already level five..."

Xiaomi: "(?o3 o?)"

Leveling up four or five levels a day is unbelievable. Unless you're constantly challenging higher-level opponents and maintaining a 100% win rate, are all newbies this strong these days?

It's no wonder Kirito didn't believe it, but he sought them out to warn them about something else:

"As overclockers, did you not read the precautions before using it? If you disclose information about the Accelerated World to non-overclockers in real life, you will be forced to uninstall Brain Burst and permanently disqualified if detected."

"Ah...I didn't know..."

Lee Se-hyuk then nodded, "Thank you for the reminder, we will be more careful in the future."

Uncle J clasped his hands in thanks: "I will never forget the kindness and generosity shown by this meal."

Kirito, sweating: "It's not that serious."

J: "If you're going to help someone, help them all the way. Why don't you help us open a hotel too? Look at this freezing winter wind, saving a life is worse than building a seven-story pagoda!"

Kirito thought to himself, "These people are so shameless."

Xiaomi, being kind-hearted by nature, said: "By the way, big brother, when you called earlier... were you urgently looking for something? Maybe we can help you."

Oh, I almost forgot! Kirito slapped his forehead and was in a hurry to leave, but when he heard that Mistin was willing to help, he calmed down.

If it can really help, then this meal won't have been a waste of money, and I'd be happy to help even solve the accommodation problem.

"Ah... my girlfriend's figurine is missing, or rather, it was stolen by a robber."

Lee Se-hyuk: "Hahahaha, a figurine...hahahaha..."

"Don't you dare laugh!"

"...Sorry, I couldn't help it."

“That’s no ordinary figurine.” Kirito took a breath and said slowly, “...The past is gone. Asuna planned to auction it off at a charity auction in two weeks, but it was stolen...Whoever it was, I will not let them get away with it!”

"Are there any clues?"

"Of course there is. Asuna's servant saw that person's appearance, and although he was knocked unconscious, he still managed to draw it from memory after waking up. Here it is—"

...

...

...

— [If you criticize a painting, you lose.]

[This modified version ignores Haruyuki and Kirito's timelines. The Sword Art Online GGO arc is also ongoing, so the volume title has been changed to Sword Art Online X Accel World.]

[Of course I'll see Tina again... but it seems like Tina's position as the main heroine is in jeopardy! Everyone thought she was the heroine, so why did things turn out like this...?]

[186 Closers vs. Beaters!]

"..." A painting in the style of the pioneer of surrealism plunged the scene into a mysterious silence.

Kirito: "How about it, can't you recognize me?"

Lee Se-hyuk: "┻╰（‵□′）╯ It would be a miracle if you could even recognize him!"

Uncle J commented, "This is the first time I've felt that Xiaomi's doodles for young children are of world-class quality."

Kirito's mood immediately soured: "Sigh, this means the trail has been cut off again..."

“Kirito-kun, there’s no need to lament that this painting didn’t work.” Lee Se-hyuk paused, then added, “…It’s alright if there’s no painting. Describing some of the thief’s characteristics might lead to more discoveries.”

"Characteristics..." Kirito stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, then recalled, "They say she has long, golden hair, wears a black eye patch, and has long legs under leather pants; her back view is beautiful..."

The simple description allowed the group to quickly fill in the blanks in their minds, and a phantom thief and chivalrous hero they had dealt with many times came to mind.

“Harpy!?” Mistin blinked and blurted out instinctively.

When Uncle J looked at him, Mistin realized he had made a mistake and tried to cover his mouth, but it was too late to take it back.

Even though Happy is from the opposing Red Wolf squad, they are still friends. How could Kirito betray Happy just because of Kirito's side of the story?

Upon hearing this, Kirito jumped up from his chair, staring intently at him. "Happy?!...Could it be someone you know!?"

At this point, saying you don't know them would be very unconvincing.

Mistin blushed and was at a loss for words when Lee Se-hyuk patted him on the shoulder.

The man in black, Shihe, standing next to Xiaomi, smiled at Kirito and seized the right to answer: "She's just a friend who's similar to the description, but there are too many people dressed like that. It would be too far-fetched to accuse her of being a thief based on that alone."

Kirito narrowed his eyes slightly: "This friend you're talking about, is he also from that line of work? Maybe he's retired now, but he used to be a habitual thief..."

Se-hyuk's heart sank slightly, but he still wore a faint smile. "What makes you say that?"

Kirito said, "Because, in the description of the attire, aren't 'leather pants' and 'eye patch' the standard equipment of a thief? Such distinctive markings, yet Mistin can reflexively blurt them out, it's hard not to be suspicious..."

Lee Se-hyuk watched him cautiously, remaining silent.

Kirito said, "Could you take me to see this 'Happy'? Whether it is or not, we'll find out soon enough by asking."

Se-hyuk asked, "If it really is her, what would Kirito-kun do?"

Kirito's face was serious: "Asuna is almost crying with anger. The culprit must be brought to justice."
