The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

"The main characters from Dragon Maid are all here!" Zhai Nan was quite excited that the Dragon Maids, who usually only existed in the anime world, were now vividly present before him. He glanced at Tina and suggested, "...Should we...go up and chat them up?"

Trying to strike up a conversation? Robots don't know how to strike up conversations. At least Tina couldn't even learn the most basic smile, or rather, she couldn't learn it.

"Uh, looks like we don't need to..." Zhai Nan's flirting skills seemed to be all bark and no bite. When he saw Kobayashi-chan walking towards them, he subconsciously took a step back and hid behind Tina.

With the most deadpan expression in the universe, Kobayashi walked up to Tina without changing his expression and bowed apologetically: "I'm sorry, these are the children of my two relatives. They are a bit... strong... well, anyway, they have frightened you both."

Zhai Nan was indeed startled, nodding frantically and saying, "It's okay! It's okay..." Tina, however, remained expressionless and replied, "Yes, she is indeed very strong."

This didn't sound like a normal person's answer. Kobayashi looked at Tina more closely with some surprise... Ah, rare red eyes, and... is this a cosplay combat uniform? Wouldn't it be cuter if she changed into a black maid outfit that showed off her shoulders? A flat-chested loli maid with no emotions is just too kawaii... Hmm, what am I thinking?

If we don't compare breast size with these ancient dragons, and just look at appearances, if Thor looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, then Tina is at most an illegal loli of fourteen.

Damn it (crossed out) Non-illegal... loli?! So loli maids and the like are now legally prohibited...?

"Huh? Kobayashi, you don't look well. Are you sick?"

Because the park was deserted with no pedestrians before, Tohru finally managed to beg Kobayashi for permission to play on the seesaw with Kanna for a while. After noticing Tina and Kanna's presence, Kobayashi even went to explain, so Tohru had no choice but to stop.

Even when she goes out, Tohru is dressed in a maid's outfit. Suddenly, she appears next to Kobayashi and asks a question. Kanna is also behind Tohru, looking at the two reincarnators with her big, curious blue eyes.

"No, it's just that you were discovered," Kobayashi said helplessly.

"Ha, it doesn't matter at all!" Thor stretched out her slender hand, palm facing the two of them. Clear magic power formed a mysterious and wonderful magic circle in her palm. It flickered twice, the light dimmed, and the magic circle dissipated and disappeared.

Tina, Zhai Nan: "..."

After doing all this, Thor closed his eyes smugly, clapped his hands, and said in a way that made Kobayashi-chan want to praise him, "I've erased their memories of this period of time. Isn't Thor amazing!"

"Mage, you're amazing, Lord Thor is so incredible..." Kanna exclaimed with admiration.

Kobayashi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tohru-chan, didn't you not know how to do this last time?"

"Hehe, after all, Thor is so smart, he can learn it with just a little guidance from Ercoa! If you don't believe me, I'll ask these two humans for you..." Thor looked at Tina and Ercoa with his imposing vertical pupils and asked in a stern voice, "Tell me, what did you just see?"

Tina: "..."

Zhai Nan hurriedly replied, "What...what just happened?"

"Look, Kobayashi-san! My magic has never failed to work on humans." He then adopted a boastful tone.

Kobayashi thought the matter was resolved, so he turned around, one hand on his lower back, and waved the other hand, saying, "Hurry up and help me back, Thor. The director has been arranging too many things for me these past few days, and my back is killing me. I need to go back and rest as soon as possible."

Tohru and Kanna immediately followed, each supporting Kobayashi on either side. Kanna was very well-behaved, her chubby little hands holding Kobayashi's as they walked quietly. Only Tohru complained, "Waaaah, why doesn't Kobayashi-chan praise me a little..."

"Since you caused the trouble, you should solve it yourself," Kobayashi explained.

“…However, Thor is indeed excellent in other aspects.” After thinking for a moment, Kobayashi added with a smile.

——→——→——→——→——

Watching the family of three drive away, Zhai Nan felt a strange sense of relief, thinking, "Luckily, I acted convincingly just now, or I would have been silenced..."

"Is it really that bad?" Tina couldn't help but glance at the otaku with his exaggerated expression.

"...No, it's the dragon...it's the oppressive feeling of bloodline." Watching Thor skip away, Zhai Nan's eyes still held lingering fear as he explained in a trembling voice. His gaze shifted to another small blue figure. "Kanna-chan too...she's very, very cute, that's true, but! Her cuteness is enhanced by magic...and it's intentional."

Recalling the infatuated reaction of Saikawa, who was in the same class as Kanna in the anime, and Kanna's embarrassing history of being kicked out for playing a prank, Zhai Nan felt more and more that his guess was pretty much right.

"Oh." Is that so? Tina hadn't sensed anything, but Kanna's innocent and adorable nature had indeed caused her emotions to "fluctuate" slightly.

"Speaking of which..." The otaku clearly remembered Thor speaking with absolute certainty as if he had used an amnesia spell on him, so how could this be...?

"Perhaps... it won't work for reincarnators?" Tina cautiously concluded.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhai Nan suddenly remembered something, "...Doesn't Thor also suffer from cognitive impairment?"

"Leaving aside whether cognitive barriers can be applied to a seesaw, moreover... given the choice between a mana-efficient instant spell and a high-cost continuous spell, a normal dragon would choose the former," Tina explained casually.

You're so smart...

If Tina could receive a compliment, the otaku would definitely shower her with praise. But the key point is that Tina is not tsundere, nor is she aloof; she is truly tame and emotionless... Because even the most tsundere and aloof girl would feel secretly pleased if she received a compliment, but a tame and emotionless girl wouldn't, and Tina certainly wouldn't.

Ugh, this is so frustrating! This is the first time this nerdy guy has felt so troubled. Is this girl with no connections, no social skills, and no family background destined to only be an object of admiration and worship, and never to be in a real relationship with him?!

"Um, what are your plans for the future?"

"A visit is a way to know yourself and your enemy." Tina's gaze was fixed on the end of the park road where Kobayashi and the other two had disappeared, and her words were startling.

"Uh... are you sure Kobayashi and Tohru will let us in?"

"meeting."

"How to say?"

"Because of... the reaction of social beings."

What a reaction from a socialite! But both the facts and the first episode of the anime prove that sneaking in will only get you a blast of dragon breath, while a straightforward visit will likely earn you a warm welcome from a dragon maid.

"Tina-chan..." Zhai Nan's tone became hesitant, and his gaze became evasive due to his apology.

"Can I not go...? Ah, of course it's not because I don't want to go with you, on the contrary, I really want to! But since you were the one who suggested it, there's not much point in me going. I, I just..."

As Zhai Nan spoke, he pulled out his PSP, his expression more serious than ever before.

"...So, you just want to play video games?" Tina couldn't figure out what the otaku was thinking for a moment.

"Yes! Pshaw... no! I mean, I can help you unlock the 'Fafner' side quest!"

Oh, oh, oh, Tina finally understands. A teenage internet addict versus an old dragon addicted to the internet? How interesting... wait... a young swordsman suddenly flashed into Tina's memory. This swordsman, wielding a holy sword in his left hand and a PSP in his right, was named Lee Se-hyuk. Come to think of it, he and Tina were once from the same world.

“The ‘god’ at the end of the mission already gave us a hint.” Zhai Nan’s words pulled Tina back to reality. At this moment, he seemed quite confident in his analysis. “Following the plot development, the main quest can usually be completed, but the biggest opportunities and benefits of the novice’s reincarnation world definitely won’t exist in the main quest.”

Tina narrowed her red eyes, her voice tinged with caution: "You're thinking of taking over the 'Dragon's Treasure' that Fafnir is guarding? Just because of... an online game?"

"Online games alone definitely won't work." Zhai Nan took a deep breath, his gaze sharp and focused. "This is my first time trying out a real-world game. How about we work together to find the treasure and split the odds?"

Tina replied without hesitation, "Okay."

[Ta5 Girl, wanna do a 10-pull?]

"Hmm, hmm, hmm, hee hee ha ha ha ha!"

A little girl in a red dress, carrying a schoolbag, with hearts popping out of her eyes and throat like a lovesick fool, skipped and hopped along the road. The not-so-bright setting sun shone down, but it still made the little girl's shiny forehead reflect a dazzling light.

"This hand that Kanna held isn't going to be washed today... no, this week... no, this month! Hmm!!"

Riko Saikawa.

The little girl who attends Oborozuka Elementary School, although she has some conflicts with Kanna who transfers to the school, is fooled by Kanna's clever fake crying and immediately apologizes to her. In the end, she becomes madly infatuated with Kanna-chan and cannot extricate herself.

Today, for some reason, Kanna held my hand, and I'm still thrilled and excited. But we're about to cross the street, and although the light is green, a small truck is speeding towards us from a short distance away, showing no sign of slowing down.

However, Caichuan, who had already reached the middle of the road, was unaware of the deadly danger that was about to befall him.

The small truck hurtled towards them with a whooshing sound, accompanied by the driver frantically swerving the steering wheel and slamming on the malfunctioning brakes, shouting in a panic, "Ahhh! Get out of the way! Ah, get out of the way!"

In the blink of an eye, a sleek silver figure swept out from the void in front of the car, appearing out of nowhere. With her left hand, she grabbed the startled Cai Chuan around the waist, and with her right hand, she clenched her fist and slammed it into the center of the car's hood.

Boom! Clatter! A terrifying blast of air sent dust flying. Amid the driver's screams, the rear of the car was lifted 45 degrees upwards. After maintaining this position for 5 seconds, the rear of the car crashed back to the ground with a loud thud.

Huh...?!

After the jolt and the upheaval, the dazed and disoriented driver slumped weakly in front of the steering wheel, staring at the green tea spilled all over the ground beside him. He then looked up, bewildered, at the silver-haired girl who had single-handedly brought the truck to a stop and was now completely unharmed. Just now… WTF?!

After a moment of silence, the veteran driver began his usual existential questioning.

Fortunately, there were no other pedestrians around who witnessed the incident, which saved a lot of trouble caused by onlookers.

"Are you alright?" Tina asked casually, carrying Caichuan across the completely abandoned truck to the other side of the road. She gently put Caichuan down and then asked.

Cai Chuan's body was still trembling, and his little face was flushed red from excessive fright and tension.

"Sister...you're so amazing...ah...your hand seems to be bleeding."

"Oh." Tina didn't seem to care. She took out a bandage from her imaginary space, casually wrapped it around her neck, and then turned to look at Cai Chuan. "Can you go back by yourself?"

"Hmm... Yes, I can go back!"

Cai Chuan blushed and lowered his head, looking like he wanted to be patted on the head. But after a while, the pat on his head that Cai Chuan was looking forward to did not come. So he shyly raised his eyes.

She then realized that Tina had already walked away with her back turned.

Ah… Caichuan’s mouth gaped slightly as he stared blankly at the pretty loli older sister as she walked away (disappointed).

Just then, a breathless voice came from afar. It turned out to be Saikawa's older sister and maid, "Saikawa Nae (Saikawa Jogi)," who wanted to pick up little Saikawa halfway back, but ended up seeing the thrilling scene from a distance.

Gasping for breath, Tsai Chuan Qiao Ji finally reached her side. He braced himself on his knees, lifted his head, and saw Tina about to disappear at the end of the intersection.

After catching her breath, she helped Xiaochuan straighten his disheveled clothes and then asked him with concern.

"Riko...are you...are you alright?...Are you hurt?"

"Thanks to the older sister, Cai Chuan is alright..."

"We really have to thank her properly..." George squatted down, took Xiaocaichuan's hand, looked into her eyes, and asked softly, "Hmm, did you ask for her name, or do you have her contact information?"

"No, nothing at all..."

Xiao Caichuan looked at Qiaoji with a wronged expression, held back for a while, and finally couldn't help but burst into loud sobs, throwing himself into her arms, "Waaah, Caichuan was so scared, just now... almost... waaah..."

——(*/ω＼*)————————

If you're going to pay a visit, you can't go empty-handed. Before the two left, Zhai Nan specifically reminded Tina of this.

But what should I bring? Cream bread...? Crepes? Or back pain medicine? Well, the Kobayashi family probably has no shortage of back pain medicine.

Moreover, it seems I've been forgetting something important—my role as a reincarnator...

System? God's Space? Huh, why isn't it responding? Open Sesame!? Reincarnation Shop!?

Tina suddenly remembered that it was operated through a wristwatch.
