The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Thor, his body trembling slightly, slowly turned around to look in that direction. The girl was also turning her head to look at Thor with a puzzled expression.

"..."

"..."

I don't know how long we stared at each other; it may have been brief, but it felt like an eternity.

Finally certain that the Tina before her was not an illusion, Thor almost burst into tears of joy. She raised her hand to wipe her eyes, trying to hold back her tears, and forced a smile:

"...Tina...why...did you suddenly come back..."

The girl pursed her lips and asked with a smile, "What, you're not welcome?"

"...Oh, Tina's arrival is a great honor for Thor, of course I'd like to welcome her a hundredfold...but I was completely unprepared...and Tina, your smile is so beautiful..."

"..."

The girl's smile faded, and her expression returned to its usual calm. Although she had been fundamentally changed by Tina, she still wasn't quite used to smiling.

"Oh no, it's three-nothing again..."

"Going out to buy groceries?" There was no other way but to resort to the clumsy tactic of changing the subject.

"Yes, I need to buy all the ingredients I need for the day this morning."

"Kobayashi should have gone to work by now... By the way, Erma... is she still working at Kobayashi's company?"

“Elu…maa…”

Thor nodded, trying to recall what had happened recently, then shook his head regretfully. "I don't think so. Kobayashi and I haven't seen her for quite a while... I don't quite remember exactly when she disappeared, but if she's not in the human world, she should have returned to the Sea Dragon Clan without a doubt."

"Is that so..."

Tina began to worry.

"Thor, I want to go find Elma. Could you please open a portal to another world and tell me where the Sea Dragons are?"

"Eh... Tina's back and she's already in a rush to find the Sea Dragon...? Oh well, since it's Tina's request, of course no problem. And while we're at it... let's go find some ingredients for today in that world!"

The omelet rice that Thor never had a chance to eat has always been a regret and an obsession in his heart.

Since that day, Thor hasn't made omelet rice for a year.

We need to make up for it today!

[216 Ship Girl Tina?!]

Before heading to the other world, considering that Elma might still be in the human world, Tohru accompanied Tina to the place where Elma lived, as she remembered it.

Inside an apartment building, the vaguely familiar door was spotless and brand new, as if someone had specially wiped it clean.

"Hey... there's someone inside, could it be Elma?!"

The dragon maid used her magical senses, and was first surprised, then her brows furrowed as she hesitated and said, "...No, it's so weak...it should be the aura of a human."

Before Thor could finish speaking, Tina had already knocked on the door.

A faint, calm "Coming!" was heard. After a short while, the door opened from the inside, revealing a little girl with pigtails. She looked at the two girls standing in the doorway with a mixture of confusion and wariness, and timidly asked:

"Two older sisters...who are they? What do you need?...If you're looking for Mom, she's gone out...I don't know when Mom will be back."

Perhaps due to nervousness, the little girl blurted out everything that was on her mind, then continued to timidly observe Tina and the other girl.

"My God..." Thor seemed to have misunderstood something and was suddenly shocked, "...That sea dragon even has babies?! And they're so big?! Could it be...?"

Tina gave Thor a light tap on the head, then after a moment's thought, she gently bent down and asked the little girl who opened the door, "Little sister, do you know where the previous owner of this place went?"

"I...I don't know." She shrank back, hiding behind the door frame and shaking her head innocently.

"So... little sister, do you remember when you and your mom moved here?"

She tilted her head back, looking at the ceiling. Then, her eyes darted around before she looked at Tina and answered seriously, "Ten months ago... I guess? Anyway, it's been almost a year."

"Ten months..."

Tina was slightly surprised, which proved that after Elma returned to this world, she did not settle down in the human world as usual.

"Okay, thank you, little sister. This is for you~"

As if by magic, a bracelet appeared on her slender, jade-like fingers. It was made of thirteen crystal-clear agate beads, and any child who saw it would be attracted by the bracelet that emitted a beautiful glow.

In that instant, even though her mother had repeatedly warned her not to take anything from strangers, the little girl forgot all her worries and her gaze was fixed on the bracelet.

"Really...can I have it?"

"Yes, of course." The girl even bent down and leaned closer, lifting the little girl's arm and personally putting the bracelet on her wrist.

Even smoother and more delicate than jade were the silver-haired girl's hands, more flawless than any female celebrity's hands the little girl had ever seen, unbelievably beautiful.

When she came to her senses and wanted to express her gratitude and amazement, the two girls had already vanished.

Dragon Maid Dimension, another world.

A cloudless sky, a giant dragon soars through the air, its wings blotting out the heavens, flapping its wings and traversing the boundless blue sky.

Almost a year and a half later, the young girl Tina has become a dragon knight once again, and many things have changed.

I wonder how that thief girl is doing now?

And beneath Mount Targon, the griffin's carcass has probably long been devoured by hungry beasts... but the wish it made, I believe, will surely be heard by the heavens.

"I miss this feeling so much. Only when Tina was riding me did I dare to fly at my fastest speed! It was really... so much fun."

With legs spread apart and arms braced on the dragon's back, the wind whipped the silver threads of the dragon's back into motion. Below lay awe-inspiring heights of ten thousand meters. Even with all his strength, he still had the illusion that he would be thrown off at the next sharp turn.

Thor, whose strength was previously compressed to 1/100, is now unleashing her full power. Even the weapon girl, whose abilities are far beyond what they used to be, almost couldn't handle riding on her back.

"Tina! Tina! Make Thor...stop...!"

A hurried voice suddenly came from her mind. Tina was startled and leaned down to transmit her voice to Thor.

"Ugh...please don't go at top speed, I'm getting dizzy from the dragon."

"Eh, why?... Oh, I see, Tina, just say you want to see the scenery."

As Thor spoke based on his own conjecture, he quickly descended and slowed his flight speed.

The fierce winds that could tear metal finally subsided, and as the winds dropped to a height of several hundred meters, some things on the mainland could be appreciated more clearly.

"Dragons are truly terrifying..."

Tina thought to herself, still shaken.

"Yes, it's because it's a real dragon..."

Tina sighed helplessly to herself. Although she had the courage to fight against the Emperor of the End back then, if she were to fight the Emperor of the End again now, whose strength had not been reduced by a single bit, Tina would probably be spineless enough to ask the instructor for help.

"Tina, now that you're back, will you go back?" the dragon Thor suddenly asked, his words filled with anticipation.

Tina nodded without hesitation: "Let's go back. Besides, this is my second time in this world... and probably the last."

"Oh……"

"what happened?"

"It's alright, it's alright~ I'm already very happy to see Tina again. If possible, could you stay a little later and at least... stay for dinner tonight?"

"I'd be delighted, and besides, it's something I promised Kanna."

"...Huh?"

"I ran into Kanna, who goes to school with Saikawa, this morning."

"Oh, so it was about this morning?... I was wondering why Kanna didn't tell me she saw Tina, even though I asked her so many times..."

"..."

Tina didn't know how to respond, so she paused for a moment before getting to the point, "Thor, please take me to the territory of the Sea Dragon Clan."

"Oh dear, I almost forgot, the Sea Dragon... I remember it's in the far north sea, anyway, leaving it to Thor is fine."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"It's no big deal!"

The dragon flapped its wings once more and soared into the sky, flying towards the far north of the continent.

Along the way, they encountered various strange natural environments, including darkness, fire, frost, and whirlwinds, and met all kinds of races, such as elves and demons. However, upon seeing that it was a dragon passing through, both the gentle elves and the ferocious demons had already fled in terror. Those who did not have time to escape crawled on their stomachs, trembling with fear.

The dragon's awe-inspiring power remains undeniable.

"By the way, what's the situation with the Sea Dragon Clan?"

"The sea dragon clan, let me think..." With his enormous dragon claws, the dragon Thor reluctantly spoke the truth, "Although I've grown this big, I've only ever heard about them before. This is my first time going to the sea dragon's territory... But I think sea dragons are similar to us land dragons, probably with vast territories and few mouths."

Tina nodded thoughtfully.

If Elma is being held captive because of such a sordid matter as a clan marriage, it's unlikely that Tina could rescue her even if she went, because the dragons here are all incredibly powerful. Remember, when Elma teamed up with Tina, she managed to trap a avatar of the main god!

Fighting a dragon would only make me a burden, unless I call the instructor for help... Of course, I don't want to bother the instructor if I have no other choice.

So it's best if this doesn't happen, Tina prayed silently.

The otherworldly continent was vast and boundless. Even with Thor's incredible speed, it took him almost half a day to fly from the central region to the north.

Eight hours later, the giant dragon carrying the girl finally landed on the shore of the North Sea.

While there may be some psychological element involved, the oceans of the other world are indeed far more azure, clear, vast, and breathtaking than those of the human world.

It's as if you can feel the pure and vast magic surging in the ocean, refracting light like dazzling gemstones, shimmering and undulating on the surging sea surface.

"Wow!! What a beautiful sea...!!" Tina exclaimed in her heart.

"But... not to mention sea dragons, we haven't seen a single seagull either... should we go inside to look for them?"

As Tina spoke, she thought to herself: Humanoid weapons...are they waterproof?

"Don't worry! Come with me!"

Thor transformed from a dragon into human form, then grabbed Tina's hand and ran towards the raging sea.
