The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Immediately afterward, the spatial rift closed and quickly disappeared, revealing the figures of a man and a girl on the rooftop of the nearest tall building.

The timelines of different dimensions are not the same. In the Accelerated World, it is still a cold winter, but in Dragon Maid, it is a warm and pleasant mid-spring.

So even when facing the sun directly, all you feel is a gentle warmth, not a scorching heat.

Standing on the rooftop, nearly 100 meters high, you can take in half of the city below.

The city wasn't large, but the training officer was startled after a quick sense of it, his brow twitching violently. "...This inconspicuous little city actually hides at least four powerful auras comparable to SS-level."

"Of course, because they are all dragons."

The girl looked down at the small town that evoked a sense of familiarity and warmth in her heart, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Tina's first reincarnation world is here?!"

"Hmm... But back then, a mysterious force intervened, limiting the dragon's strength to 1/100 of its original power... Even so, I have fought against the Dragon King."

"Alright, thank you for bringing me here, trainer. The dragons here are very friendly, so you can go back now. I'll summon you again if I need anything."

After being told to leave by her junior (or daughter), the trainer didn't insist on staying by her side to protect her. Instead, he nodded and said, "Okay, be careful in everything. If there's anything you can't handle, then let me know."

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of the tall figure beside him vanished instantly, as if evaporated.

"They really are efficient and decisive..."

Although the trainer's exact strength is unclear, judging from the owl's assessment that "I probably can't beat him in this lifetime," he must be at least above the so-called SS level.

Speaking of which, Elma returned to her own world from the City of Reincarnation and never went back to the City of Reincarnation again; no one knows what happened to her.

"Eh, is this the world where the Sea Dragon lives?... I remember this place."

In her mind's eye, a slightly surprised voice came from Tina.

“Yes…” Suddenly remembering something, Tina shook her head again, “No, Elma’s real home… should be in another world in this dimension, this is the human world.”

"Oh... well then, let's hurry and go find Elma."

"Good."

I saw the familiar commercial street again.

Because it was early morning, many shops on the long commercial street were still closed. Spring flowers were falling and their fragrance was refreshing, but there were few pedestrians, adding a touch of desolation to the street.

This is a place Thor often visits. I stroll here quietly, secretly hoping for a surprise encounter with Thor.

Come to think of it, the one who forged the deepest friendship with everyone in this world wasn't Erma, but Tohru...

From their joyful first encounter and adventure in another world, to the misunderstanding caused by the God's Sword, and finally to intercepting the Emperor of the End so that she wouldn't leave Kobayashi.

...So even if all of this was just to benefit Kobayashi, it is undeniable that, in a sense, Tina holds a special place in Tohru's heart that even Kobayashi cannot surpass.

If Tohru had to choose between Kobayashi and Tina, no one could guarantee that Kobayashi would win.

However, in order to fulfill this wish and to respect the original nature of this world, Tina will definitely not let Thor make such a choice... If a choice must be made, then Tina will definitely choose to withdraw, just like Thor's reluctance to part ways at the end. Perhaps it was even more intense when Erma was the one who took the initiative to confess her feelings?

"I think if it weren't for Kobayashi, Tohru would have willingly and wholeheartedly followed Tina."

Sensing the girl's longing for Thor, Tina murmured to herself, her words tinged with pride.

Of course I'm proud, because my Tina is so charming and popular!

"Speaking of which, it was because of Thor's incident that I was able to communicate with Tina for the first time."

The words in Tina's heart stirred up memories, making the girl's calm and light steps a little sluggish, and a hint of bewilderment appeared on her face.

"Yes..."

"Hmph, but Tina didn't seem particularly happy about my appearance back then." #Grievance #Grievance

"Because...because of the situation where the AI ​​was blocking things out, under those circumstances...how could I possibly have shown a strong reaction? Waaah, don't be angry."

"...Okay, okay, I scared you just by changing my tone a little. Now I'm afraid to joke with Tina anymore."

One can almost picture Tina's wry, helpless pout.

Is this a joke? ...But this joke is so hurtful! He knows perfectly well that she's the one he cares about most.

Continue walking through the long commercial street.

She seemed to be walking aimlessly, but in reality, she was relentlessly moving towards one direction—Erma's home in the human world.

Although I wanted to go to Erma first and then visit Kobayashi and Shota one by one, the route to Erma's house would actually require passing through Kobayashi's house first.

Of course, you could fly, but that would be too conspicuous. Plus, we have plenty of time, so there's no need to rush.

Although it was early morning, there were quite a few vehicles and people on the road. There were buses carrying commuters slowly passing by, buses taking children to kindergarten, and many parents dropping off their children at school.

"The world remains as peaceful as ever..."

Through the world as seen through the eyes of the girl, Tina can also see the state of this world.

"Yes."

Perhaps for most people in the world, this is just another gloomy day filled with monotonous work or study, but for some who are homeless and yearn for stability, coming here and seeing this thriving vitality is of extraordinary significance.

This at least proves that I am still alive.

But now that I have an instructor as my backer, it's really hard to die even if I wanted to...

"My sister made mashed potatoes and porridge this morning, it was so delicious! Kanna, why don't you come over for breakfast tomorrow? I'll ask my sister to cook two servings!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Kanna... yesterday's homework was so hard, I fell asleep while doing it, um... could you..."

"No, if Saikawa-chan doesn't finish her homework herself, I won't come tomorrow."

"Waaaaah, why is this happening...?"

Two voices and names that were truly nostalgic. The moment Tina heard them, she looked in the direction of the sound and saw two petite elementary school girls walking towards her directly in front of her.

Both girls were clutching their backpack straps with both hands. Riko Saikawa, dressed in red, looked at Kanna with pleading, teary eyes. Kanna, wearing a blue round hat, however, stared straight ahead and calmly refused.

The next moment, he felt Kanna's gaze move straight to him... Then his chubby legs stopped, and his pair of purple-blue eyes blinked several times in surprise.

"Kanna... what's wrong...?"

“...Yes...Tina…” Kanna uttered a few words softly, ignoring the blue strands of hair that fluttered across her fair cheeks.

Then Kanna took off running forward with her chubby little legs and arms outstretched.

"Tina...Tina...Is it really you?!...Is it really...Tina?"

She ran up to the girl, buried her head in her waist, then looked up at her with a dreamlike, uncertain surprise, asking again and again.

"Kanna-chan, it's been a long time!"

"Oh my god, it really is Tina! ...I thought I'd never see Tina again, this is so wonderful..."

The girl's eyes shone with an incredibly bright light, and there were clearly ripples of water in them.

Although Tina and Kanna didn't interact much, Tina's willingness to accept Kanna's request and her actions for Thor were enough to make Kanna like her.

Since Tohru couldn't say "I like Tina" because of Kobayashi, Kanna thought that she could have easily taken the exam for him!

"It's me... It's been over a year since we last met. Kanna-chan has grown another year older and is about to grow taller."

"Kanna is 9101 years old this year."

"........."

At this moment, Cai Chuan also walked over with a look of surprise and delight.

"...Tina-chan...is back?"

Thinking that he could quickly shift the focus away from the age issue, Cai Chuan's greeting was like a lifesaver.

"Yeah, you're back. Saikawa-chan has grown up too... Um, are Saikawa and Kanna on their way to school? Hurry up, it'll be bad if you're late."

Kanna clutched her clothes, reluctant to part: "Then... Tina-chan, please remember to visit Lord Tohru and Lord Kobayashi... And, could you come to Kobayashi's house for dinner tonight? Please, Tina~"

Without a second thought, Tina patted Kanna's head and replied, "I'll definitely go."

"Lord Thor usually goes out to buy groceries a little later. Tina must pass by Kobayashi's house, so we might bump into each other later."

"Ok."

After Kanna finished speaking in one breath, she reluctantly let go of his hand, turned to the side and took Tsai Kawa's hand, "Well then, Tina-chan, let's go to school now."

"Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road."

Cai Chuan felt a pang of frustration. "No... I haven't even spoken to Tina yet..."

"Tina will be coming to Kobayashi's house for dinner tonight. Let's talk about it later... It's school time now."

"Okay... alright... then, see you later, Tina-chan." Saikawa finally listened to advice and waved goodbye.

"Okay, see you later~"

After saying goodbye to the two men, Tina headed towards Kobayashi's house as instructed.

Going to Elma's house also involves passing by Kobayashi's house, so there's no conflict.

But then the girl remembered something else: Could Erma be at work by now? Should she go check out the company where Kobayashi worked, as she remembered it?

But then he thought again and decided he should go and see where the Sea Dragon Girl lived first.

As Kanna had predicted, while passing by Kobayashi's house, they ran into Tohru... well, actually it wasn't really a coincidence, they just happened to bump into Tohru who was out buying something.

Still dressed in the same maid outfit, unchanged, with a basket slung over her arm, Thor walked briskly, humming an unknown tune, locked the door, and turned to leave.

With his usual cheerful smile on his face, he brushed past the girl Tina in front of him.

Actually, from that perspective, they should have been able to see it by now.

Indeed, Thor saw her. How could he not have seen Tina, a friend he hadn't seen for over a year? At first glance, anyone would have thought it was an illusion.

As if it weren't the first time he'd seen Tina's illusion, he walked past it as if it were commonplace.

But at the start of a new day, Thor shouldn't be thinking about Tina, so what's with the hallucination...? And that fleeting glimpse of her just now... it felt so real...

Suddenly, in the brief few seconds it took to brush past each other.

The dragon maid's singing faded away quickly, and her steps slowed down until she stood frozen in place.
