The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Elma felt a little embarrassed by being so solemnly entrusted with this task by the king of a country. Although she was quite willing to serve the Holy Emperor, she still cast a glance at Tina for her opinion.

"It's okay, I'll go with you."

"That's what the girl said."

“…Tina, I want to see you.” The Holy Emperor suddenly spoke.

Tina paused for a moment, then said, "Wouldn't it be better if we all went to see my sister after Elma finished cleaning up the Gastrea and Kuriboh 'went off work'?"

"No!...I want to see you right now...because...there is something very important."

"Something very important?"

"Yes!...I...will always be here waiting for you. Anyway, please come soon."

"Okay, I'll head over there."

As soon as he finished speaking, the call ended, and the virtual projection vanished in a flash.

Since the Holy Emperor wanted to see her so much, Tina also wanted to take this opportunity to make things clear with her.

"Then, Elma will have to go alone."

"It's alright." The Sea Dragon Girl patted her chest and said confidently, "I can handle this little thing right away, and then I'll go find Tina."

"Be careful on the road, and try not to reveal the true form of the Sea Dragon."

"I know, I know."

After locating Higashizaki Prefecture on the map, the group split into two and set off in completely opposite directions.

After using a spell that blocked her cognition on herself, Erma transformed into a sea dragon and flew southeast towards Higashizaki Prefecture.

As the dragon took flight, the once tranquil and windless city was suddenly swept up by a terrifying gale, with sand and fallen leaves flying everywhere.

The speed of the Hailong train advancing across the entire region was far slower than that of a Boeing aircraft, and it took less than an hour to reach its destination thousands of miles away.

As it slowly descended, it unleashed another terrifying typhoon, blowing off the hats and wigs of several innocent passersby.

Leaning against the wall of the alleyway, the sea dragon, who had transformed back into the sea dragon girl, couldn't help but stick out its tongue and feel sorry for its behavior.

"Hmm... The Holy Emperor gave me a map, didn't he? Let me see... The police station... is here!"

Without canceling the cognitive barrier spell, Elma took the map and flew into the sky, beginning to search for the police station according to the locations marked on the map.

At first, I was just lamenting how bad I was at directions.

However, Elma searched most of the city but couldn't find a police station, so she had no choice but to ask the locals for help.

The locals confidently led her to the police station, but in the end they were all dumbfounded and questioned, "...What the hell? It was here yesterday, such a big police station, and it just disappeared like that?"

After an unknown amount of time, they finally found the police station, which had been temporarily moved to a corner of the city.

The police chief then told Elma, "That fourth-stage Gastrea is a mutant. It's the size of an adult human and likes to lurk in the shadows, preying on lone humans. So please, turn Higashizaki Prefecture upside down and find it..."

Although the possibility of mutations is not ruled out, the lie was so convincing that even the police officers themselves didn't believe it.

But there was no other way; his superiors made him do it, and even made him use exaggerated facial expressions and tearful pleas.

Poor Elma actually believed it.

After enthusiastically agreeing, Eruma, eager to complete the mission and find the girl, began a thorough search for the non-existent mutant.

Tina, who was heading to Tokyo, was unaware of the situation on Elma's side.

If they knew, they would definitely sense the conspiracy.

Before the girl stood a white palace.

The marble columns, their surfaces flawless, shimmer with golden light under the sun; the grandeur of the sacred residence remains unchanged.

Many memories have been left here, including those of Tendo Kisara, Natsume, Tina, and the Holy Emperor. But after a year apart, many things have changed... such as the Holy Emperor.

The one residing in the Holy Residence today is no longer the Holy Emperor who was always at a disadvantage in negotiations with Qi Wuzong Xuan a year ago, but an unparalleled monarch who intimidates the world with his kingly methods and wins the fervent love of his people.

Gazing at the majestic white palace, Tina withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes slightly, and walked towards the sacred residence with a calm and serene heart.

The heavily guarded entrance seemed to have been notified in advance, firing shots to let the girl pass as soon as she approached.

Another guard stepped forward and told the girl, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor has been waiting for a long time in the back garden of the Holy Residence," and specially led Tina there.

Afterwards, amidst a sea of ​​flowers, Tina met the beautiful young lady with white hair, snow-white skin, and an imposing aura.

"Tina, you've arrived."

The Holy Emperor turned around and said with his gentlest smile.

"..." It was as if something was hidden beneath that smile, which made the girl's hair stand on end and a moment of fear appear in her eyes.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Ah, it's fine if you don't have to say anything..."

The young emperor took light, lotus-like steps forward, affectionately took the girl's hand, and led him deeper into this magnificent garden.

Enveloped by the fragrance of flowers, the girl's delicate scent, and the softness and warmth of her hands, Tina's tension eased slightly. She kept convincing herself that her earlier premonition was definitely an illusion.

Tina believed that the Holy Emperor would never do anything to harm her... right?

The Holy Emperor had forgotten how long it had been since he had been so close to her. In his morbid excitement, he squeezed the hand that was in his palm even tighter.

The girl, slightly hurt, couldn't help but furrow her brow.

The Holy Emperor calmly said, "I know Tina has misunderstood me... Relax, I just wanted to give you a gift before you leave... That's all, it's a token of my appreciation, I hope you will accept it."

The girl was slightly taken aback.

Yeah, I'm so paranoid about everything. The Holy Emperor just wanted to say goodbye, but I ruined the atmosphere... I'm so terrible.

"I'm...I'm sorry."

The girl nodded slightly and apologized.

When Tina looked up again, she found herself led by the Holy Emperor to the depths of the garden, where a strange machine stood on a soft, green lawn.

...or rather, a refrigerator so huge it defies imagination.

It is estimated to be 4 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 6 meters high. Although these are all estimates, they should be close to the truth. It looks like a huge storage room.

In terms of appearance, it looks like a typical refrigerator... and it's a single-door model.

The surface of the giant object is polished to a mirror-like smoothness, so clear that it can be used as a mirror. It is cool and translucent, displaying a colorful appearance like the starry sky. It must be made of a very rare material.

A mixture of barely suppressed excitement and curiosity flickered across the girl's face: "...Is this...a refrigerator?"

"That's right, it's a refrigerator."

The Holy Emperor smiled and said, "Because I really couldn't think of anything Tina would like, I could only give her some strange and unusual things... Because I thought it wouldn't be good for her health to stay curled up in a small refrigerator all the time, I specially ordered a large refrigerator for Tina."

"...I really like this one." The girl's eyes sparkled; it seemed that the beautiful refrigerator had indeed attracted Tina.

"In that case..." The Holy Emperor's lips curled slightly, "There are still gifts inside, why don't you go and open them and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, the girl continued to look around in amazement while eagerly stepping inside the giant refrigerator.

The Holy Emperor followed closely behind, but stopped at the refrigerator door.

In the shadows, the girl saw a pale pink bed in the corner of the refrigerator, and the so-called gift was probably the box with a bow tied to the bed.

With anticipation in my heart, I was about to open the gift when I was surprised to find that the already dim light inside the refrigerator suddenly went out with a loud bang.

He turned his head sharply and saw the face of the Holy Emperor peeking through the crack just as the refrigerator door was closing—

That face remained calm as still water, gentle as the wind, and even had a strange smile on its lips.

"boom------"

The door slammed shut, as if a boulder weighing a million pounds had fallen to the ground, causing the earth to tremble and vibrate for quite some time.

The voice of the Holy Emperor could be heard from the so-called "gift," mixed with electronic noise, as if a pre-placed communication device... or even a recording, was known to be impossible to transmit sound in an absolutely sealed space.

"Tina, I'm sorry, I lied to you."

Tina immediately reached out and pressed her hand against the cold internal metal, intending to use her own abilities to destroy the control system.

"it's useless."

Her Majesty's voice continued, unhurriedly:

“I know what Tina is good at. The only electronic mechanism on this refrigerator is the mechanism for closing the door, and that mechanism automatically destroys itself after the door is closed. Now, even I can't open the refrigerator.”

"Oh, by the way, this refrigerator cage is made of meteorite steel, so even space-based weapons can't break it. Therefore, Tina has no chance of escaping it."

Tina: "..."

【225 Chestnut Ball Girl (Part 1)】

The fleeting chill that ran through Her Majesty's smile was indeed not without reason...

Although I've come to my senses, it's too late.

Trapped in the so-called refrigerator cage, each metal wall weighed over 100,000 kilograms, and even with all their strength, their hands stuck to them couldn't move an inch.

His pupils flickered, and his slightly open fingers pressed weakly against the cold, smooth metal surface, before sliding down as if he had given up.

Tina walked to the small bed in the corner and unceremoniously tore open the packaging. It was a quantum communication terminal, so the voice of the Holy Emperor coming from it was not a recording.

(A quantum walkie-talkie, huh...)

The girl narrowed her eyes. Since the terminal could still transmit quantum signals, it proved that the metal cage was not absolutely sealed. So, Tina tried to connect to the network of this world, hoping to inform Elma.

"Other signals absolutely cannot be transmitted."

As if knowing what Tina was thinking, the Holy Emperor's voice, distorted and muffled by the radio waves, came through the walkie-talkie again... It was clear that even the smallest quantum radio waves were difficult to transmit.

(So ​​it didn't work after all...)

Tina exhaled, her chest rising and falling slightly, a hint of anger even appearing in her eyes. She picked up the walkie-talkie and said:

"Your Majesty, please release me." Tina's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she added in a soft voice, "...I'm begging you."
