The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

【187 Se-hyuk, your wife is so good】

[A luxury apartment: Red Wolf's Little Nest]

Even on their very first day in this other world, the red wolf and the black sheep began their fateful encounter.

So, how did this happen?

That same evening, when Leviathan served her best dishes, several little gluttons gathered around.

"Lamb chops...lamb chops...wow, even with my discerning professional eye, they're top-notch!"

Starving, Violet didn't care about maintaining a ladylike image anymore. Her beautiful violet eyes were filled with joy and excitement as she was the first to sit down at the table.

In comparison, the elegant and composed Harpy actually had more of a young lady's air about her. Looking at the red wine and special dishes laid out on the table, a smile involuntarily curved her lips.

"Leviathan, how about I take care of you?... But I heard from Tina that you're seeing someone else? Don't worry, I won't mind."

If someone were to go up to Xiao Lei and lift her chin to say those words, the image of a domineering female CEO would be so strong it would practically leap off the screen.

Levia quickly pushed Happy to sit on the seat, her face slightly flushed, "...No, no need, I'm still young..."

"...Wow, you still have the nerve to say that? Your breasts are the biggest here...!!"

Tina likes cold drinks, iced or cold, but she has no interest in hot food.

But there was nothing they could do; this was something Leviathan had made especially for them, since Happy and Violet didn't like having ice jelly or similar dishes for dinner.

Tina is no longer just acting on robotic impulses; the girl has learned to feign 'eagerness' to consider her friends' feelings.

But having lived together for so long, how could they not know Tina's preferences?

Therefore, even before Tina woke up, Leviathan had specially made fruit jelly and put it in the refrigerator in advance.

When Levia took out the bowl of colorful fruit jelly from the refrigerator, even Tina, who had a blank expression, could see a sparkle in her red eyes.

"...Is this for...me?"

“Of course.” Leviathan’s eyes crinkled into crescent moons.

"Tina is now Red Wolf's main focus. If we don't fatten you up, the instructors won't let us off easily."

Violet smiled and echoed her sentiment.

Even at this point, the other Tina was not mentioned.

—The real trigger that led to Tina's death.

Levia kept it to herself, and the instructor remained silent. As a result, everyone else subconsciously assumed that everything was due to the other Tina's fault, which led to their rejection of her.

But their story cannot be explained in just a few words.

"Violet... iced orange juice... please pass it to me..."

Before asking for help, Tina even stood up from her chair but still couldn't reach the drink bottle, so she called out to Violet, who was closest to the drink.

Violet slammed down her chopsticks, grabbed her drink, and stood up. "Until Tina recovers, let us handle these little things!"

Seeing that Violet had come to her side, Tina couldn't refuse.

However, seeing Violet's awkward movements, Happy teased from behind, "Miss Violet, I heard that your butler has been helping with everything since you were little. I mean... you haven't even poured a drink for someone before, have you?"

"How could that be!... Sometimes I pour the wine myself when we taste it!!"

It was a rather weak and feeble rebuttal, but openly rejecting Violet's kindness would surely hurt her feelings.

On the contrary, Harpy's words made the already nervous Violet even more flustered, and in the end, she really messed things up.

"Bang—" The cup, hit by the water flow, was thrown out of the cup, and the splashed liquid splattered all over the girl's clothes.

"Ah ...

Violet was startled, and the beverage bottle slipped from her loosened hands, rolling and spilling its juice everywhere.

"Tina, no, don't move, I'll help you...!"

Concerned for Tina and wanting to pull her out of the small flood of disaster, he slipped and fell forward, causing Tina and the chair to fall backward with a loud crash.

Happy: "..."

Leviathan: "..."

Tina: "??o·(? ???)?o·?"

What can one say but facepalm? The current state of affairs is truly appalling; an uninformed person might think it was a premeditated murder!

"Ding ding—"

At this inopportune moment, a cheerful doorbell rang, so Leviathan had no choice but to get up and open the door, saying, "Happy... why don't you help these two clean up..."

"Here I am!"

Levia called out to the door, and as she opened it, she vaguely heard a familiar voice say, "Hey Yuri, is it really necessary to know everyone's neighbors in this world?"

Another familiar voice replied, "Captain Li, don't be so boring! Maybe our neighbor is a fun guy? Perhaps he'll even be the protagonist of Accel World? If you don't check it out, you'll miss out on a lot of destiny!"

The door opened.

Exclamations of astonishment rang out simultaneously from both inside and outside the door.

"Yuri!?...Seulgi!!??"

"Leviathan?!" x2

Seul-yu had long been interested in an apartment with an excellent view and location, and with the funds provided by Tina, she could move in immediately. Little did she expect that Yuri's visit to the neighbors, driven by her desire to make friends, would lead her to the Red Wolf's hideout?!

And just as Yuri said, they really almost missed their "destiny."

"Aaaaah, Tina!...What are you doing to Tina?!"

As her gaze swept past Leviathan, Seulgi caught a glimpse of the tragic scene inside and, completely disregarding whose house it was, rushed straight in.

Regaining her senses from the dizziness, Violet struggled to her feet from her soft body and looked up to see a face filled with tension and worry.

"Li Seul-yu? You—what are you doing here!?"

Li Seyu pushed Violet aside and carefully helped the girl, who had fallen badly, to her side. Ignoring the strange liquid, she tenderly wiped away the stains from the girl's slightly pale cheeks. Then, she glared at Violet with fury and gritted her teeth: "...You...you...taking advantage of someone's vulnerability to bully Tina like this?"

"No...no way!" Realizing it was all her fault, Violet's voice lacked any strength, and she said in a low, aggrieved voice, "I love her...too much to even think about..."

"Love her?... Oh, like just now, pinning her down?! That's really lewd."

"That was just an accident! An accident!"

Violet then spotted Yuri peeking in through the doorway. Seeing that Seymour dared to brazenly try and snatch someone away right under her nose, she was instantly enraged: "...Speaking of which, why are you all here?!"

Seul-yu ignored her, gently shaking the gradually waking girl's shoulders, asking her all sorts of questions. Yuri, standing at the door, chimed in, "...Because...we live next door..."

"Oh? You're talking about the neighbors like that?" Harpy asked in surprise. "The rent for luxury apartments is quite high. How did you Black Sheep manage to solve your funding problem in just one day?"

Violet sneered, "It's obvious without even guessing that Captain Li must be trying to save face and take responsibility for the team, so he went off to do escort work, right?"

Leviathan didn't dislike the Black Sheep, or rather, they had always been friends. But when Happy and Violet were around, she could only watch helplessly without offering any advice.

Lee Seul-yu was no weakling who would remain silent in the face of insults. "Shut up! I've been a virgin for eighteen years...!"

Violet continued to sneer: "All you can do is talk the talk, do you dare let me examine you?"

"Let's have an inspection! Who's afraid of who!"

Levia covered her face: "You guys... you'd better stop arguing... it feels like... the conversation is getting weirder and weirder..."

Happy seemed to recall something, his deep blue eyes flashing with a mischievous glint as his gaze swept back and forth between Seulgi and Tina, whose face was disheveled from the wind.

"Hey, did Tina give you this money?"

Harby's words caused Se-yu's expression to freeze.

Harpy stroked his chin, recalling, "An hour ago, as soon as Tina got the money, she said she had to excuse herself, and when she came back, her steps were lighter... Could it be..."

"...Ahaha, Seul-yu, don't be nervous. I won't suspect people randomly. After all, it's too unbelievable to say that Captain Black Sheep would steal both people and money."

Harpy's ability to read people and speak with hidden meaning is so profound that it's almost uncanny. What appears to be a casual guess actually reveals a dangerous smirk playing on his lips.

"I think Tina must still have her money on her, right? Just showing it will easily clear up any misunderstandings."

"Hey, Seul-yu, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Violet's eyes widened, both surprised and angry: "Hey, it can't be true?!"

Tina considered it for a while.

Then the girl stood up, her slender, jade-like arm, as white as a lotus root, protecting Se Yu in front of her, and said calmly, "It was my own choice, it has nothing to do with Se Yu, if you want to cause trouble, come at me."

Violet almost stamped her foot in frustration: "Tina, how...how could you say such a thing..."

"Hey! Escort girl, this isn't your Black Sheep Squad, get back here right now!"

"You're the one who's a prostitute! Going back is fine, so what!"

Seul-yu secretly hugged the girl from behind and whispered, "I will definitely become powerful enough to defeat all of you Red Wolves and win you over," before reluctantly getting up.

"Tina, when are you two going to start dating Lee Seul-yuk?!"

After Yuri and Seymour left, Violet puffed out her cheeks and asked dejectedly.

"...I forgot, but..." Her gaze lingered on the doorway for a moment, then her voice was calm, "I'm so happy to see Seul-yu again."

"What about us!?"

"Very close friends"

"No, no, no! I mean, what can I do to make you treat me (us) the same way you treat Seul-yu?"

This time, Tina simply blinked and didn't say anything more.

In the Accelerated World, at a blood-red arena.

Purple flames streaked across the sky, dazzling and spectacular.

One after another, terrifyingly powerful airburst bullets flew down from a gun-sword that had been transformed into an aurora sword by superpowers.
