The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

The clean, transparent glass fell back onto the table as the light reflected off it. After leaving behind those words, Nata's figure had already disappeared from the spot. At the same time, a large tree outside the window began to rustle softly. The sky was dark and thick with night.

A cool, refreshing night breeze drifted in through the window, penetrating her clothes and seeping into her skin, giving Tina a slight chill.

"Red Wolf is not my bondage, but my home in Nata... Tina, I thought you would be my partner."

Nata did not voice his thoughts. He appeared on the roof of the villa like a ghost, gazing at the bright moon, which he could not tell was real or not, and remained silent along with the hazy moonlight.

In that world, the Red Wolf Squad's prosecutor gave Nata the mission to kill J. Even though she's now transported to this reincarnation world with J, a normal person could easily have completely forgotten about this mission.

But Nata was different. In his heart, only by killing J and completing the final task assigned to him by 'that organization' (Paches) could Nata achieve true liberation and freedom.

[The king is dead, she can't come, find someone else.]

After a period of silence, Nata sent a message.

The next morning, Chestnut Ball, covered with a blanket, was fast asleep on the sofa. Suddenly, the alarm clock on the table, which had been set by someone, jumped up and started waving its arms and legs.

The ringing of bells was incredibly loud!

Just two seconds ago, Chestnut Ball was trying hard to squint its eyes and move its two little paws upwards as if trying to cover its ears to block out its hearing.

Two seconds later, realizing that covering its ears was useless, the chestnut ball bristled and jumped up, causing the blanket covering it to billow high in the air. Its brown, menacing silhouette lashed out, and a small paw slammed down from the sky, smashing the alarm clock on the table to pieces. The shattered parts littered the table and floor.

"Ai--"

After delivering the fatal blow, Kuriboh, eyes still closed, plummeted from mid-air, landing on the sofa and drifting back to sleep.

Today, Tina, who was in the refrigerator, also woke up naturally. After lazily rolling out, she groggily turned on her buzzing wristwatch.

Tina, who could stay in the City of Reincarnation for up to 13 days, inexplicably received a team invitation from the world of Reincarnation.

[Saving drafts (but I don't think I can save many, lol)]

[Um... dear readers, just one question, please: how about releasing it this week? ::_::]

【Ta51 The Dark-Skinned Lolita! Has Arrived!】

[J invites you to team up in the world of "Black Bullet"]

Tina paused for a moment, then calmly nodded in refusal.

[J invites you to team up in the world of "Black Bullet"]

Refuse.

I also found J in my friend list and sent him a message.

[Tina: Get lost, I only had one day off.]

J on the other side seemed to have been waiting there for a while, replying instantly.

[J: I know, but it's an emergency. Can you do me a favor, Uncle J? ~~tears.jpg]

[Tina: ? ? ? ]

[J: Because I have to enter the cycle of reincarnation today. The last time we bumped into each other at the gate of reincarnation was because I was seeing off two friends, not because I just returned...]

[Tina: Then don't look for me. You're not without people, Wu Teng?]

[J: Wu Teng is included, but it requires three people. Hey, you know that Wang Gaosi is targeting me. The only one I know who's really strong is Tina.]

[Tina: I haven't had a chance to climb the ladder rankings yet, so I can't redeem a lot of things...]

[J: This is a small matter. Items below purple are of little use to us, and the reincarnation points you've accumulated over a world aren't enough to exchange for anything higher-level. Just give me the rest, okay? The important thing is, if you don't help me, I'm going to die! *crying*]

I bought a hiking backpack last year! (scratch that) What's with Uncle J, who's so old, trying to be cute...?

[Tina: It wasn't just Wang Gao who died, Nata came too?]

[J: ...You knew all along?]

Tina thought about it carefully for a while.

[Tina: I have 2000 Reincarnation Points left. What should I buy?]

[J: There are still 2000... What were you doing in the last world? Did you steal the dragon's treasure?!]

[Tina: ...]

[J: Tina, you're already very strong, and I'm sure you don't care about bloodlines, so let's keep it for now... Besides, I see you still have over 20 to save for your wife, hahaha...]

Although they were only conveying the literal meaning of the words, one could still sense the wicked pleasure beneath the laughter.

[Tina: Time and Place]

[J: Two hours later, at the entrance of FE Bar]

……

J, who was in the bar, ended his call and saw Wu Teng walking towards him from the bar in the distance with a bottle of champagne. He had a somewhat amused expression on his face.

"Wu Teng, where's your girlfriend?" J asked with a beaming smile as Wu Teng walked up to him.

Wu Teng's expression was a little unnatural, and he casually replied, "Oh... if it's not suitable, then we should break up."

"No wonder you always look exhausted and weak when you have girlfriends. Did you overuse your magic to summon them?" Uncle J chuckled coldly.

Wu Teng's depressed expression suddenly seemed to be relieved. He grinned and casually opened a glass of champagne: "So what if you're exposed? J, you're the strange one. Were you busy being a 'rb.q' all your childhood? Otherwise, how could you not have even watched 'The King of Cards'... By the way, which world are you from?"

“I already said it was Earth, so here’s the question…” J stared at the crystalline liquid pouring into the glass like a golden galaxy from the bottle’s mouth and asked, puzzled, “Is the Earth we’ve been talking about all along… the same planet?”

"It should be the same sphere... no, the same Earth. Maybe it's just different dimensions, planes, and dimensions, although I don't really understand it either."

As Wu Teng poured the wine, he shook his head with a wry smile: "...This reincarnation world is great in every way, it has all kinds of anime resources, but it just can't connect to the internet on Earth. I'm starting to miss those great gentlemen on Bilibili."

"Bilibili, does it sell Bilibili?" Uncle J said he didn't understand.

"Hey, who cares? Different dimensions or different planes, we're friends now anyway..." Wu Teng handed a goblet filled with colorful liquid to Uncle J, and at the same time raised his own glass, "bilibili! Cheers~!!"

……

Before setting off, Tina checked her stats; everything was normal, and the permanent stats she obtained from the hidden quest in Dragon Maid World were clearly displayed below.

Tina

"Remaining lifespan: 9 years"

"Abilities: Imaginary Space, Gun Mastery MAX, Melee Mastery Lv3"

"Item: ① Heart of the Sea Dragon (Orange Epic, Pendant): Mana Recovery Speed ​​Lv+6, Soul Power +2"

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

"Vitality: 450"

"Destructive power: 788"

"Charm: 21"

Intelligence: 16 (Extremely difficult to increase)

"Soul Power: 3+2" (Extremely difficult to increase)

Additional: ① Marine life friendliness +5%

②Friendship with the Sea Dragon Clan +30%

③ Chaos Dragon Clan Friendship +20%

Within just one day of encountering the City of Reincarnation, Tina discovered that high-level items like orange epics and gold legendary items were so rare that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were priceless.

The reincarnation points gained in the Dragon Maid world are probably not as important as these three permanent buffs... Although there are no dragons in the upcoming Black Bullet world, once you go to a world with these two types of dragons, these buffs are even more useful than the King's Treasure.

Additionally, Elma's pendant is also an epic item, but giving these two amplification effects to Tina seems like a waste—after all, she doesn't fight using magic or soul power.

Although Magic Kuriboh is only an epic-level character, it has learned the legendary 'Index of Cursed Arts' from Fafnir, and in terms of potential, it is at least stronger than Tina is now.

With everything ready, Tina changed into her clean gray-white combat uniform and skirt, then stepped out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Knock knock knock knock—"

The girl hadn't taken more than a few steps when the door that had just closed suddenly slammed shut with a loud bang. Tina was startled... Did she think she had left something behind?

Thump—Bang—!

The door, which had been securely closed, was suddenly slammed open from the inside by a powerful force. What was originally a sliding door was forced open, transforming into a door that pushed outwards. A giant bouncy ball, wobbling through the air like a drunken plane, hurtled towards Tina.

Its two dark eyes narrowed tightly, as if it were about to cry from grievance. It bumped into the girl, then buried its eyes in her clothes and clung to her.

Because in the instant Tina neglected to close the door, the sudden dimming of the room made the chestnut ball panic, thinking that its owner had abandoned it...

The girl, whose expression had remained calm, suddenly felt a mix of amusement and exasperation. "Relax, since that's the case," she thought, "I'll pat her on the head and comfort her."

------

After meeting up with J at the FE Tavern, the three of them and the ball boarded a hovercar and drove out of the City of Reincarnation, heading towards the Gate of Reincarnation.

On the way, Tina, who was sitting in the back seat holding a chestnut ball, asked a question that had just sprouted in her heart: "Aren't the reincarnation worlds chosen two days in advance? Besides, how do you know who your opponent is?"

"Because the Reincarnators cannot be harmed in the City of Reincarnation, but the Supreme God clearly does not want to see them so comfortable, because only elimination can filter out the strong and weak. Therefore, the Supreme God created a setting—"

Wu Teng, as a genuine three-dimensional Earthling, did not possess the immense strength that J initially possessed. However, he was among the oldest and most experienced in the City of Reincarnation, having survived countless trials and tribulations.

He was explaining the basics of the reincarnation world to Tina, just like he had explained the basics to J, who was also a newbie, three months ago.

"...The setting is that all the worlds, opponents, and teammates chosen by all reincarnators are public information, and the qualification to participate in that world can be exchanged with other reincarnators."

"...J's initial opponent was not Wang Gaosi, but Wang Gaosi found the three opponents that J was matched with and switched the qualifications to participate in the world before the world began."

"He can trade with someone else, but you can't?" Tina asked.
