The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

evening.

Kobayashi's family.

Shota, Ercoa, Riko Saikawa, and Saikawa's older sister all came. Of course, Tina, Erma, and the Kobayashi family were also there. Although Fafnir was invited, he declined, citing a lack of interest.

The main course at the dinner was omelet rice, a dish we hadn't had in a long time.

Although Thor regrets that the limited-edition omelet rice made from the griffin's meat, which he and Tina had worked so hard to defeat, can no longer be replicated.

...But this time, at least she got to eat the omelet rice she made herself!

As for the portion you mentioned that was put in the refrigerator more than a year ago?

Even if magic could keep it fresh and prevent it from spoiling, it's still been over a year! Even if it looks fresh on the surface, one would still feel ashamed and resentful inside. (Actually, it was eaten by Kanna the next day.)

Since she had no regrets in this world, Tina decided not to stay any longer and told everyone at the dinner table that she planned to leave the next day.

"You're leaving so soon after you arrived?... Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to stop you. Have a safe journey."

Because she was a little drunk, Kobayashi's face was flushed. She casually raised her glass and smiled as she offered her blessings to Tina.

The girl also politely responded to Kobayashi with a little wine.

Indistinctly.

In the glances that Tohru and Elma secretly cast at Tina, it seemed as if they saw the image of that girl who had first arrived in this world, so emotionless and like a robot.

Ironically, this guy, who never even smiled, barged into their hearts without any warning.

"Tina-chan...is she really... leaving again?"

Kanna took the girl's hand, leaned closer, and looked at her with her big, bright eyes, asking a question.

"Hmm... Although I don't belong here, I will always remember the stories that happened with everyone. ... Kanna is so well-behaved, so I won't say anything more."

……

Once upon a time, now, in the story of Dragon Maid—

It really felt like a long dream.

It's alright if it's a real dream, because dreams can be easily discarded.

But reality cannot, because the threads that weave reality are everyone's memories.

The most profound memories are those of myself and Thor.

That journey to another world: taking off from the demon's stronghold, stealing the egg of Grimoire of the Fallen from Valhalla, surprising the thief girl with a dragon's roar from the sky, and fighting side by side on Mount Targon, the dwelling place of the griffins...

That was truly the best trip of my life.

Thor, thank you.

And, I wish you happiness... because I'm going to ride a sea dragon from now on (●—●)

……

Thus, the world of Dragon Maid, which began with the opening chapters, is about to truly come to an end.

The next world is where I'll go to the Black Bullet with Elma.

...

...

...

— I can't keep my perfect attendance record anymore, so please don't feed me any more razor blades, thank you.

I'm only referring to razor blades, you can send me the others if you like, I'll try to update more often!

[219 Longing Turns to Illness, Leading to Darkness]

A pitch-black bullet dimension.

A little over a year ago, this plane was a world filled with calamities and despair.

Humanity's territory shrank dramatically, and humanity's last civilization was confined to small, hopeless plots of land by the Gastrea.

A girl who was unfortunately infected with the [gastrea] virus at birth is called the cursed child. Although she has a superhuman physique, she is hated because she can mutate at any time and is no longer "purely human".

On the outskirts of the city dwell enormous Gastrea, preying on humans; within the city, demons in human skin torture and even kill the cursed children. The logic of this world seems destined for injustice from its very inception…

In an effort to change this situation, His Majesty the Holy Emperor, the ruler of Tokyo, vigorously promoted the "Gastrul Law," hoping to change the lives of the cursed children.

However, due to collusion between some politicians and those in power, as well as the public pressure from the battle against Gastrea, this "new law" failed to achieve any significant results before it came to nothing.

Although he was the nominal ruler of Tokyo, his indecisiveness and constant dependence on others, coupled with his reluctance to act rashly, made the Holy Emperor realize his own weakness.

Back then, a certain girl single-handedly held off the attack of Hiruko Kagetane's gang to save Tokyo, allowing Rentaro to activate the space-based weapon and destroy Scorpio.

Once upon a time, a young girl, in order to save a cursed owl, resolutely asked to use her own mechanical body for an experiment, begging Sumire Muroto to repair the owl's brain.

This girl is Tina.

There's also Chizuki Natsume's desperate gamble for her loneliness, and Tina Sprantt's self-destruction of her chip for her sake.

Compared to them, I am so cowardly and pathetic...

Knowing the Holy Emperor's weakness, Tina deliberately arranged for her to live with an owl, using this experience to cultivate her courage and boldness.

Am I just going to let her down like this?

……

How could that be...?

I definitely won't let you down...

Even if this was just an excuse Tina made up when she had nowhere to stay and stayed at the Holy Residence, the Holy Emperor still had to take it as her expectation of him!

not to mention

Before leaving, Tina left behind the invaluable treasure that is District 44.

Tina not only solved the problem of his status as a cursed child that he had been working so hard to resolve, but also provided a perfect, flawless answer.

Because anyone who has been to Area 44 knows that there, virus carriers are no longer "children of the curse," but "children of hope," and this idea has spread rapidly throughout the world, subtly and profoundly changing people's perceptions... (This will be mentioned later).

This outcome, far exceeding the Holy Emperor's highest ideal, was miraculously achieved by Tina.

From then on, in every respect, Tina became the person the Holy Emperor admired and adored most.

Tina has gone to such lengths for the Cursed Child, yet I can't even fulfill her simple wish?

So how could that be allowed?!

#

The first month after Tina left.

The enlightened emperor, having suddenly realized his mistakes, decided to repent and change his previous indecisiveness and cowardice, and wanted to establish absolute authority that no one dared to disobey.

She asked Tina for help, and with the help of the owl's invincible power, she swiftly and bloodlessly recaptured the other five regions of Japan, unifying the entire country.

(The owl can travel back and forth between the City of Reincarnation and the Black Bullet Dimension)

The Emperor organized his secret forces to investigate the internal protests one by one, issuing warnings to those found to have disloyal intentions, and killing them on the spot after a second warning.

As for the complaints and grievances of the people in the other occupied areas, the Holy Emperor also used the regime and armed forces to suppress them.

The second month after Tina left.

Because of Tina, the Gastrea were completely routed. Those at stage 4 and above were mercilessly swept away and slaughtered, while the other trembling, low-level Gastrea even retreated hundreds of miles away from the giant stone monument.

In the uninhabited areas of the city, the original Guts were completely wiped out due to the entrusted mission. On this basis, the Holy Emperor quickly implemented a bill to restore economic exchanges between various regions in Japan and promulgated a series of decrees to increase production.

It was the third month since Tina left.

With more jobs and a soaring employment rate, Japan's economy is showing signs of "prosperity," and the production of consumer goods is also showing remarkable results. People are experiencing tremendous changes in their lives, and the grievances of the people who were previously subjected to forced rule have naturally disappeared.

Some remnants of the old regime, seeing a glimmer of hope for the country's future, actually abandoned their evil ways and revealed to the Holy Emperor the rebellion plotted by several villains.

Thus, several uprisings were wiped out before they even began, and their leaders were accused of treason and used by the Holy Emperor as a warning to others, to intimidate the whole of Japan.

It has been four months since Tina left.

Those with ulterior motives hired a super assassin to kill the Holy Emperor. However, the super assassin was eventually killed by "Pluto," the 21st IP address.

(Because Tina's sisters had all been rescued by her from Anne Rand and were later invited by the Holy Emperor to serve as his bodyguards.)

The fifth month...

Under the close watch of the Holy Emperor, the previous assassination attempt and the case of the shoddy construction of megalithic monuments were solved together.

Perhaps it was the awe-inspiring power of the Holy Emperor that led the main culprits of the Tendo family, along with their colluder Tendo Kikunojo, to flee abroad in fear after receiving advance notice.

This time, they underestimated the Holy Emperor.

Using his position as the supreme ruler of Japan, the Holy Emperor, in conjunction with the US government, issued a top-level covert arrest warrant. As a result, a group of top 50 IPs arrested several criminals in North America, and finally, "Pluto" Rita brought them all the way back to Japan from North America.

The sixth month.

In an execution ground in Tokyo, the ancient gallows are mottled with dark red stains. Such a solemn and cruel punishment would not have been used for a crime other than regicide and treason.

Because the prisoners to be executed today were all prominent figures who had once stood at the top of the political and business worlds, the area around the execution site was already packed with people.

Although it was a decree issued by the emperor himself, the emperor did not like this scene and stayed alone in the holy residence.

A dark figure suddenly appeared beside her like a ghost; it was "Hades" Rita. She asked the Holy Emperor with a puzzled expression:

“Those people with the surname Tendou not only fabricated giant stone tablets but also attempted to assassinate His Highness the Holy Emperor. They deserved to die. But Tendou Kikunojo… isn’t there a misunderstanding? He actually opposed the assassination of His Highness the Holy Emperor.”

"Of course I know that he loved and respected me like a father or brother... but he was once the biggest secret opponent of the Gastrea New Law."

"If it's just this..."

"He is also the culprit who orchestrated Hiruko Kagetane's summoning of Scorpio. He caused so many people to die for his own selfish desires. I cannot tolerate this."

"Okay... but killing off so many years of teacher-student relationship like this is still a bit..."

“This country doesn’t need a second leader! ... Rita, step down.”
