The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

“No, Tina said this was the last time she would come to this world… If I let you leave, I… I will never see you again!… That’s why I’m locking you up.”

A line that's melodramatic yet classic flashed through my mind.

This isn't some kind of imprisonment play! Judging from the Holy Emperor's words, he probably wants to keep me locked up like a pet for life.

...In this situation, Tina couldn't care less about anything else. She immediately closed her eyes and shouted to the quantum terminal:

"But... even if you get my body, you can't get my heart!"

The Emperor's straightforward reply from the other side left the girl speechless and stunned.

"By doing this, I can still have you... If I don't do this and let you leave, I'll have nothing left!"

"Aren't you afraid I'll die in here?"

"Is Tina a robot?"

"..."

"If it's a robot, I can have Sumire Muroto fix it if it breaks down... If I can't have it, no one else can either... After everyone thinks Tina has vanished and has completely given up the search, I'll release you, change your programming, give you everything I have, and be with Tina forever and ever."

Tina gripped the quantum terminal tightly, shook her head with extreme disappointment, and said sadly, "...Holy Emperor, you've gone mad..."

The Holy Emperor's gaze remained calm, a calmness more chilling and sinister than any previous outburst of anger—for it was a calm dominated by deep, dark delusions—commonly known as, "darkening."

Her Majesty the Young Lady took a step forward, as if embracing a beloved, opening her arms and pressing her entire body against the surface of the refrigerator cage, as if stroking the delicate skin of a lover, her fingertips rubbing the smooth, porcelain-like metal surface.

Then, she took a step back, turned around, and smiled contentedly.

"In this country, I call the shots."

After those words were spoken—

The miniature quantum terminal she was holding, amidst the destructive sound of surging electricity, flickered with lightning and flames, and gently fell to the ground.

the other side.

Inside the refrigerator cage, Tina's quantum terminal, which she was holding, emitted a series of crackling noises, indicating that the connection had been unilaterally severed.

It seems that the Holy Emperor has truly turned to the dark side.

Why does this kind of thing always happen...?

Feeling utterly exhausted, Tina tossed the quantum terminal aside and lay wearily on her small bed, silently staring at the dark ceiling... no, it should be called the top of the refrigerator.

What should I do? Tina wondered.

Since they claim that even space-based weapons can't break through it, destroying it by force is definitely not going to work.

"Right, imaginary space..."

Suddenly an idea struck him, but after a moment, he shook his head in self-doubt. He was in an almost completely enclosed metal space. If he used his ability to put the refrigerator inside, wouldn't he also be entering the imaginary space?

He got up, placed his hand on the small bed, and with a thought, the small bed disappeared.

When placed on the inner wall of the refrigerator, the imaginary space was used again, but it was indeed impossible to fit it into the space.

Tina conjured up a small bed again, sat down on the edge of it, and continued to think.

"Ah, I'm a reincarnator...?"

When I turned on the Reincarnation Wristwatch, although the signals from this world were blocked, the Reincarnation Space's system was functioning normally; at least everyone on my friend list was lit up.

Tina found the most reliable profile picture and sent a "..." over it.

Less than five seconds later, the trainer appeared inside the refrigerator, enveloped in a ball of azure energy and using a method similar to teleportation.

Tina: "..."

The trainer looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, then turned to the girl and asked, "Tina, what are you doing?"

Tina snapped out of her daze, her eyes darting around as she immediately switched into dramatic mode. She spread her arms and twirled around, boasting to the trainer, "This is my personal giant habitable refrigerator from now on, isn't it amazing?"

The sudden act of cuteness caught the training officer off guard. He coldly turned his face away and said, "...Don't report these kinds of trivial matters to me in the future...I'm busy too."

"Alright, I thought the instructor would be happy." Tina bowed as she saw him off. "It's all over now, Instructor, please go back. When you want to return to the Railgun dimension, you can call for me again."

"Um…"

After giving the last word, Uncle Wolf silently departed using teleportation.

Having dropped her feigned expression, Tina sat back down on the small bed with a bewildered look on her face.

"Hey, shouldn't we let the instructor break this refrigerator cage?"

The real Tina consciousness within her mind suddenly spoke up in question.

Before Tina could explain, the real Tina instantly understood and sighed, "...Yes, if we can't rescue the Holy Emperor from his delusions, it's meaningless even if he comes out now."

“(Real) Tina, what should I do…” the girl asked, her eyes dark and her lips pursed.

"There is a way, but Tina is tired today. She should get a good night's sleep. Maybe everything will be resolved when she wakes up."

"Um……"

This time, Tina listened to her and obediently relaxed and took a nap.

However, given that there's a giant refrigerator and a bed next to it, isn't it redundant to take out your own refrigerator and curl up inside like a cat to rest?

Since Kuriboh completed its evolution yesterday, it can now sustain more contract attempts each day.

Although the casting speed was also increased, I still worked hard until 3 p.m., making nearly 800 contracts before ending the contract ceremony for the day.

When the doors of the Temple of Contracts closed, the chestnut ball, sitting on its miniature gem throne, slumped over and rested for a while before it could barely recover a small amount of magic power.

The first thing to do, naturally, is to find the master and the sea dragon.

They should have been waiting here. Even if they were to go see the Holy Emperor, the master would have waited until Kuriboh finished the contract ceremony before taking it with him.

However, Hailong disappeared.

Even the magical mark that Kuriboh secretly left on its owner was displayed in the far distance.

Could it be that he is going to Tokyo to see the Holy Emperor?

With a wave of his wand, the Kuriboh appeared in his hand, its little paws comically swiping the screen to make a video call to His Majesty the Young Lady.

After the call was connected, the Holy Emperor remained calm.

Kuriboh waved his magic wand, and the dark blue magic of the mayfly in the void resembled the traces left by a pen... Kuriboh always conveyed his thoughts to the Holy Emperor by writing.

Chestnut Ball asked

"Is the master with His Majesty?"

The Holy Emperor was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Isn't Tina always by Kuriboh's side?... Oh, right, I did ask Tina to come today, but she's been delayed until now, and I haven't seen her. I thought she was waiting for Kuriboh to come together."

Chestnut Ball: "..."

Her Majesty the Young Lady was someone who would feed Kuriboh with her blood, and to Kuriboh, she was always as close and trusted as family.

Upon further inquiry, it was learned that Hailong had gone to deal with the Gastrea problem. The Holy Emperor also stated that he would do his best to find Tina.

But Kuriboh was still worried, so as soon as the call ended, Kuriboh cast a stealth spell, spread its four angel wings, and flew toward the direction of the faintly sensed magical mark.

Even though its magic power is depleted, Kuriboh, being the only one with the ability to find its master using magical marks, naturally has to step forward in the face of the emergency.

It's heading towards Tokyo.

The daily completion of the contract ritual is when Kuriboh's magic power is at its lowest, while high-speed flight requires a continuous consumption of magic power.

Despite constantly pushing its limits, it almost ran out of magic when it had flown a third of the way, and fell from the sky, rolling more than a dozen times on the ground before stopping... because it was too round.

Even the invisibility magic was forced to be removed, and the prey, now in its true form, was immediately surrounded by several Gastrea on the wasteland, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.

The chestnut ball, however, was even more ferocious. Its fur suddenly bristled, and it let out a sharp cry, activating a terrifying curse—

In an instant, the Gastrea that had been drooling just moments before retreated several steps in fear and trembling, then vanished without a trace like mice that had spotted a cat.

The chestnut flew to a tree, using the leaves to conceal itself and blend into nature with its fur color. It quickly meditated for half an hour, accumulating some magic power before taking off again.

Fly over the ancient and weathered array of stone tablets.

We passed through the outer region, where not a single cursed child could be seen anymore.

Arrived in the human settlement area.

Tokyo, Japan.

The chestnut ball can sense that the magical imprint's feedback is right here.

Using the clear directional markers, Kuriboh once again concealed itself and slowly flew in one direction.

It wasn't until the white palace where Her Majesty the Young Lady resided appeared in the direction of the target—the Holy Residence—that Kuriboh realized that this matter was somewhat too coincidental and suspicious.

Because the Holy Emperor stated unequivocally that he had not seen its master, Tina.

In short, once the owner is found, the truth will come out.

How could mortals comprehend the power of magic? Ignoring the heavily guarded entrance, where not even a fly could get in, the invisible Kuriboh flew right past.

The magic mark points more clearly and explicitly to the back garden behind the Holy Residence.

This place is not large, but it is home to countless exotic flowers and plants. The swaying sea of ​​flowers and intoxicating fragrance here are usually only enjoyed by the Holy Emperor.

Upon arrival, Chestnut Ball was immediately drawn to a giant refrigerator standing deep within the garden, its presence easily overshadowing the vibrant sea of ​​flowers.

However, the giant refrigerator's appearance is like a colorful galaxy in a dream, beautiful and somewhat awe-inspiring. Although it is placed in a beautiful garden, it does not feel out of place at all.

And the sensing of the magic imprint...

The chestnut flew to the refrigerator, tapped on this and touched that, and circled around it several times, but it really couldn't think of a way to get in or open it.

Is the master really inside?

The mental connection is unusable because it's blocked by the refrigerator, making it impossible to contact anyone. What should I do?

Kuriboh was extremely anxious, and a series of questions swirled in its mind, such as why its master was trapped here? Did the Holy Emperor really not see Tina?

A glint of blinding light refracted into Chestnut Ball's eyes. It flew over and picked up a broken piece of metal from the grass.

Chestnut Ball seemed to be deep in thought.

It suddenly occurred to it that with its evolution yesterday, it had unlocked many new spells in the Complete Book of Curses and Kills, including a rather obscure ability: within 12 hours of an object being destroyed, it could rewind the process of its destruction.
