The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Ten minutes later, Fafnir lost.

But after Zhai Nan's explanation, Fafnir accepted his defeat with 'relief,' because the difference between the two wasn't just a matter of hand speed and operation, but also a superior level of intelligence and skill.

Fafnir readily accepted the large "GG" icon on the grayed-out screen, then asked with a cold laugh, "So, how do you want to die?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zhai Nan cleverly replied, "Well, even if I die, my soul might be reborn as a human and become a hundred times stronger than me, and I could still beat you to a pulp."

Fafnir nodded in deep agreement, but still said regretfully, "No, you can't force someone to take your soul unless you consent."

"I agreed."

"...???"

Zhai Nan silently returned to the character selection screen, and then with a 'click,' deleted the 'Melee Mage,' a forbidden character so powerful that it left a psychological scar on all the top players on J.JY's ladder.

Then, glancing to the side, Zhai Nan looked at Fafnir, who seemed slightly shocked by his decisive deletion of the account. The reincarnator said with a sincere expression, "I want to exchange my soul for your strongest curse... Cursed Dragon, Fafnir!"

------

An hour later, Tina received a notification from her wristwatch that she had met up with Zhai Nan at their old hideout.

He handed himself a small, black bead, no bigger than a thumb, with a beaming smile and an air of nonchalance.

[Curse Kill: God Eater (Physical Type)] (Can only be used in this world)

[Rank: Gold Legend]

[Effect: It can only be fully effective when it enters the body of the target of the curse. It takes effect 6 hours after being impacted. Once it is fully effective inside the body, its cursing power can severely injure or even kill a god.]

[Description: This is a collection of the profound secrets and essence of all the cursed dragon's killing techniques. Only one can be formed every thousand years, but because the conditions for unleashing its maximum power are too demanding, it has hardly ever been used...]

[Note: Physical application type, as opposed to mental application type. It requires physically throwing or injecting the pill into the body of the cursed victim, or crushing it and soaking it in water. Also known as: poisoning...]

Tina was startled.

In fact, Tina was not confident that the satellite orbital cannon could defeat a being as powerful as the End Emperor. For others, such a thing might have very demanding conditions for use, but for sniper Tina, she only needed one opportunity to have a high chance of leaving it inside the End Dragon's body!

Moreover, there's absolutely no need to worry about the difference between the other world and the human world!

But where did he get this thing? The cursed dragon... Fafnir?!

“Zhai Nan…you…”

“Because I respect your decision, I’m here to help you.” Zhai Nan scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. “...Besides, you don’t need to worry. This is money I lost to Fafnir in a bet. It’s not like I sold my soul. If I had sold my soul or something, would I still be standing in front of you now?”

For some reason, Zhai Nan's gaze was unusually lingering and intense at this moment. He solemnly reassured her, as if he thought Tina really couldn't sense it?

Not daring to meet his gaze again, a flicker of panic crossed Tina's calm eyes, and she quickly looked away. "...Um...I have to go now...Take care of yourself."

"Okay." Watching the girl leave, the reincarnator's face revealed a pure smile, like a glimmer of light.

Suddenly, a dazzling display of light and shadow appeared before my eyes, eventually transforming into a light curtain that only I could see.

Zhai Nan

"Remaining lifespan: 10 years"

"Ability: Soul Talent (SS-rank ability with extremely limited practical use)"

[No specific attributes are specified; all ratings below are category ratings, with a standard initial value of 10.]

"Vitality: 14"

"Destructive power: 9"

"Charm: 12"

Intelligence: 16 (Extremely difficult to increase)

"Soul Power: 25" (Extremely difficult to increase)

"Overall assessment: ...Your fragile body and short lifespan are insufficient to support your powerful soul. Your soul power may be able to sweep through the supernatural world, but in other worlds you are nothing but a weakling—unless you can master a few soul attack techniques."

Fafnir still trusted Zhai Nan, and they agreed that after he finished everything and witnessed the ending, the reincarnator would personally offer up the soul.

Well, it doesn't matter anymore. If the mission is destined to fail, and one's lifespan is reduced to zero and erased, what use is the soul? Even if the soul can truly be reincarnated, it can't retain the memories of meeting Tina in this life...

When Erma took the exhausted Kanna back to Kobayashi's house, she ran back to look for Tina, but she was nowhere to be found. Only a line of small black characters had appeared on the gray ground where it had been before.

—Erma, thank you.

Erma was extremely melancholy, thinking that there were still so many things she hadn't had time to confess to her. So, at the Kobayashi family's luncheon, apart from Kanna being busy recharging her magic due to exhaustion, Tina also didn't attend.

Don't ask Kanna why she can't eat while charging! Aren't there enough examples of phones exploding while being used while charging?

It's better that Tina didn't come, then Thor won't have to feel awkward.

Two hours after noon, the friends who came to visit left Xiaolin's house one after another, and it was not until nearly 4 p.m. that it was quiet again.

Kanna, with her chubby little legs that looked just like two radishes, stretched straight out and leaned against the wall, her little head tilted back slightly as she dozed off. Her ball-shaped tail transformed into a plug, seemingly plugging into a socket on the wall.

Kanna was still taking a nap, or perhaps a long one. Surprisingly, Tina's "energy capacity" was about the same as hers; Tina was fully charged, but she was almost exhausted herself. She estimated she needed another 7 or 8 hours to charge.

Silently envious of those who can have sex for two hours after just five minutes of charging, the bio-battery lowered its head in shame.

So, the only sounds in the large room were those of Kobayashi and Tohru. Although Tohru had returned, Kobayashi realized that she was really bad at expressing her feelings.

"Hey, um..."

The oblivious Thor had already forgotten the unpleasantness of before and was now humming a little tune as he cleared the table. Kobayashi, who was curled up in the heater, suddenly said something like this—

"I don't want to expose you, but Tohru-chan, how long are you planning to stay after you come back...? Will you... go back?"

Kanna had previously mentioned that Thor was returning to the Chaos Lands—her father's territory—to heal. As the Chaos Dragon Emperor, he certainly wouldn't allow his daughter to associate with humans… Moreover, Ercoa had asked, "Did Thor say how long she would stay?"

Xiaolin isn't stupid; on the contrary, she's very smart. She can guess a lot about things even without being told.

Seeing Thor suddenly slow down her movements, hesitant and bewildered, Kobayashi first sighed inwardly, thinking, "Just as I expected." Then, a gentle, warm smile appeared on her lips as she looked at Thor.

Kobayashi is also very beautiful when she smiles.

"Actually, Thor, I've really, really missed you these past couple of days... But Thor, don't forget you're a Dragon... a dragon! Dragons are destined to be invincible beings who don't belong to the human world. Dragons should have a wider sky, a more vast world. Compared to here, hahaha, I'm almost embarrassed to even mention it..."

"Actually, I'm content as long as I see Thor safe and happy... Thor must be homesick, right? If you want to go back, I..."

Kobayashi reached up and pushed up her glasses, secretly wiping away a tiny tear that suddenly welled up from the corner of her eye—even though Thor had his back to her at that moment.

"...I can accept it anytime, because Thor has worked as a maid for so many days, and the debt of gratitude has been completely repaid."

"I don't want to pay it all back...!" Thor turned around blankly to face Kobayashi, his tone just as serious. "Only when I'm with Kobayashi can I feel happy, and... only here is Thor's true home!"

Kobayashi nodded slightly, but a bad premonition lingered in her heart, "What if Thor has to go back due to some unforeseen circumstances..."

Before she could finish speaking, Thor had already walked straight up to Kobayashi, extended a small fist, and then opened it in front of her.

Her bright eyes, filled with an expectant yet mysterious smile, stared at Xiaolin. In her palm lay two unwrapped candy pills, each coated with a layer of pink sugar.

"This is……"

"Kobayashi-san!" Tohru crouched down and crawled into the kotatsu (heated table), her hand still holding two candy pills in front of Kobayashi. "...These are candies from 'that world.' One is bitter and the other is sweet. If you eat the sweet one, then no matter what happens in the future, even if Father tries to stop me, or even if the will of the world tries to stop me, nothing can shake my determination... Tohru's determination to be with Kobayashi forever and ever!"

...Will there be a lottery?

Speaking of which, the kotatsu (heated table) that Kobayashi and Tohru are enjoying was also won by Tohru and Kanna through a lottery.

At the time, Tohru wanted to use this opportunity to legitimately push Kobayashi down in the water so she could win the grand prize, the "hot spring trip," and thus resorted to magic.

...However, there was no "hot spring trip" first prize in this lottery box! Not even a second prize! The highest-level third-class kotatsu was drawn and taken home by Tohru.

Hearing this, Xiaolin carefully picked out a candy, and with a mix of trepidation and anticipation, put it in her mouth. In just a moment, the delicate sweetness filled her mouth, followed by a genuine smile of joy.

"It tastes great!" Kobayashi exclaimed.

Under Kobayashi's gaze, Thor returned a bright smile, then put the remaining 'bitter candy' to his lips, sticking out his small pink tongue to roll the pink candy ball inside.

A similar fragrance quickly filled her mouth, the most delightful sweetness, but because Tohru was in front of Kobayashi, she had to furrow her brows slightly and force a wry smile, making it difficult to eat.

Kobayashi complained, "Thor doesn't have to eat the last piece of bitter candy."

"How can that be! What if you lied to me and what you tasted was bitter!" Thor chuckled inwardly, but feigned annoyance on his little face and pouted angrily.

In the human world, lotteries only have participation prizes; there are no grand prizes like first or second prizes because they're never even included.

—The award Tohru gave to Kobayashi was the same; it only contained sweet candy, not bitter candy, because there wasn't any bitter candy at all.

Their eyes reflected each other's unspoken understanding and smiles. Thor smiled nonchalantly while suppressing a certain flutter in his heart.

(Xiao Lin...)

(I love you)

The tallest building in Oborozuka Town is the Oborozuka TV Tower located in the town center. At this moment, at the very top of the TV tower, on the narrow space that can only accommodate a few people, a girl sits quietly on its edge.

No one knows how she got up there. From the ground, she was a petite figure that could easily be missed if you weren't paying attention.

Beneath her black miniskirt, two jade-like legs were fully exposed, dangling in mid-air and swaying gently. She wore a greyish-white combat uniform, a yellow ribbon tied into a bow at the chest, lending an ethereal beauty to this simple attire. A gentle breeze stirred, lightly brushing her snow-white hair against her face and ears. If time were to stand still at this moment, the world would seem to dim in comparison…

On this tower, where a slight misstep could lead to a fatal freefall and spin, and could drive anyone with a fear of heights mad, the girl's expression remained serene and peaceful. Instead, she was intently tinkering with what she was doing.

He violently dismantled the sniper bullet with a fine-bladed military knife, replaced the ammunition inside with 'Curse Kill: God Eater', and then technically reassembled the bullet... Finally, he picked up the black heavy sniper rifle placed beside him and, with a 'click,' chambered the deadly bullet.

Tina raised her heavy sniper rifle, assumed an aiming stance, and slowly pressed the trigger with her slender finger, only halfway down before slowly releasing it.

Very good, everything is ready.

Tina wants to take the initiative.

Because once the Emperor of the End arrives in the human world, he will definitely head straight for Thor. Don't say that Tina and Thor can fight the Emperor of the End. In the Dragon Creed, grudges that are generally settled by law and not by force are usually resolved in a 1v1 situation.

Fighting with superior numbers is truly suicidal. If you don't follow the rules first, the Emperor of the End can easily return to the Chaos Land and summon a dozen or twenty dragons, which will easily outnumber your own people (dragons).

Without hesitation, Tina purchased two [Unknown Teleportation Scrolls] from the Reincarnation Shop for 200 points.

The reason for so many reincarnation points is that Zhai Nan completed the Dragon's Treasure quest, and the system rewarded him with 2000 points, along with some item rewards. Having no other choice, he opted for the "Cursed Forbidden Techniques Catalogue," and then directly traded 1000 reincarnation points to Tina.

Of course, these 1000 reincarnation points were what Tina deserved for helping him complete the mission.
