The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

After giving Kisara a brief reprimand, Rentaro sat down next to her, becoming the new interviewer.

"correct."

Uncle J, still shaken, bluntly remarked, "...But your club president is really good with his sword; we almost didn't make it back."

Rentaro looked deeply ashamed and nodded apologetically. Then he turned his head and secretly asked Kisara, "Hey... I mean, we can't even afford bean sprouts without a discount, how can we afford to pay salaries?"

Holy crap, they weren't planning on paying wages from the start?! J, standing opposite, was immediately shocked.

[P.S.: Initiators and promoters are registered and ranked by the International Initiator Monitoring Organization (IISO). Only groups registered with IISO can participate in civilian security companies, accepting commissions and receiving payment... Sorry for the lack of updates today... QAQ Also, Black Bullet is excellent; I recommend watching it if you haven't seen it.]

【Ta53 - A Pacing Starter】

Perhaps it's because my soul power is too weak.

Therefore, Tina always awakens later than the other reincarnators.

But why do I always wake up in the refrigerator?! This just doesn't make sense with my soul power!

After groggily rolling out of the refrigerator, Tina collapsed onto the ground, and her consciousness gradually began to return.

Scene: Tiantong Civil Security Company

Event: Admissions Interview

Characters: J, looking utterly astonished; Aihara Enju, chasing Kuriboh around the house with an evil laugh; and Tendo Kisara, half-paralyzed on the sofa in shock.

—And the interviewer, Rentaro Satomi, who was using a serious expression to hide his embarrassment while asking J questions from a notebook.

Rentaro glanced at Tina, who had just woken up from her daze, and was surprised that even though he was a fan of mature women, he felt a flutter in his heart when he saw this quiet and cute girl.

"J, is this your originator?"

“Yes, her name is Tina.” As he spoke, J took the opportunity to reach out and touch Tina’s beautiful silver hair.

With a 'click' sound, Tina pressed a silver automatic pistol against J's forehead.

"Tina, I was just thinking about the bigger picture..." J quickly withdrew her hand and explained in a low voice.

Is this your reason for patting my head? Although she didn't believe in such nonsense as "considering the bigger picture," Tina slowly lowered her gun.

Rentaro and Kisara on the other side were particularly astonished, thinking: This is truly a sight to behold. This is the first time I've ever seen an Initiator pointing a gun at their partner's (Facilitator's) head.

In modern society, those who are cursed children, or 'Children of the Cursed' Initiators, are hated by the world because they harbor the Gastrea virus within them. Therefore, these loli Initiators are almost always completely obedient to the commands of their Facilitators.

There is no way that an Initiator would threaten a Promoter with a gun, so Rentaro and Kisara's surprise is understandable.

"Tina, right..."

Rentaro silently wrote the name in the register, then looked up and asked the next question: "So, what type of Initiator is Tina?"

Pregnant women may give birth to different types of cursed children depending on the type of virus they are infected with.

—For example, Enju Loli is the originator of the rabbit type, and thus inherited the rabbit's amazing jumping ability, developing superb leg skills. Another example is the cat type, whose five fingers can transform into sharp claws, and can even grow real, fluffy, chubby cat ears from its head that make you want to take a bite!

Although J finished reading "Black Bullet" in the reincarnation world, he had never seriously considered what type of Initiator Tina was.

On a sudden inspiration, J said seriously, "Refrigerator type."

“Refrigerator…” Rentaro almost broke the pen in his hand. He raised his eyes and scrutinized J, saying seriously, “Mr. J, please be more respectful. In the past ten years, the International Initiator Records have never heard of a non-biological Initiator.”

"Is this guy really her promoter? He seems even more amateur than you," Kisara whispered to Rentaro.

"Ah...don't you have a refrigerator model?"

Uncle J scratched the back of his head in annoyance, glanced at Tina who was staring at him coldly, and then silently walked over and whispered in Rentaro's ear: "Um... you guys saw it just now, Tina actually pointed a gun at my head, if she's that cheeky... I think she's definitely a shrimp-type Initiator."

Given J's previous lack of common knowledge about the Initiators, Rentaro looked at him with suspicion: "Are you sure?"

"I thought about it, and refrigerators have excellent defenses and are good at refrigerating seafood. Mantis shrimp are tough and are seafood..."

J was analyzing the situation animatedly in Rentaro's ear, then clapped his hands together and declared definitively, "All the clues match up, it's definitely a mantis shrimp...!"

Seeing that Tina looked like she was about to come closer, J quickly turned around and pressed Tina back into the chair next to the desk.

"What did you just say?" Tina glanced at him curiously.

"It's nothing, it's just a necessary procedure for registering a formal police officer qualification."

Rentaro, swayed by his words, had no choice but to register the words "mantis shrimp type" and then looked up and asked, "Mr. J, now give me the IISO (International Organization for the Supervision of Initiators) certification plaque."

J quickly pulled a card made of a special, pure black material from his pocket. This was the identity that the reincarnation world had arranged for him and Tina, and the authentication card naturally appeared in J's pocket as well.

—It's about the size of two palms, and the names [Initiator: Tina] and [Facilitator: J] are inscribed in dark blue font. At the bottom, there's also an IP ranking.

IP rankings most directly reflect the strength of a duo; the higher the ranking, the stronger the duo.

[IP Rank: 520001]

Rentaro, with an expression of "I knew it," tilted his head back and slapped his face.

"Hey kid, what do you mean? Are you looking down on us, the 52th place?"

J was actually internally ranting about this malicious ranking, and Rentaro, your expression of 'looking down' was a little too blunt!

Realizing his blunder, Rentaro quickly straightened up and forced a smile: "No, no, absolutely not, absolutely not. After all, out of the more than 700,000 groups in the world, you're ahead of 200,000!"

At this point, Kisara, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "Mr. J, if I may be so bold, 52 is really too low. We have stated that we only hire those earning less than 20..."

Kisara pretended to ponder for a moment, then adopted the posture of having seriously considered the matter before reaching a conclusion: "...However, we can consider a one-month trial period without compensation, followed by a formal contract. What do you think?"

Rentaro pondered for a moment, then nodded and looked at J, saying solemnly, "...Yes, the Tendo Security Company can open this back door for you. Remember, never tell anyone else."

If J hadn't had such excellent hearing that he overheard the whispers between those two poor bastards, he might have actually thought that Kisara had given him special treatment. Wow, society is truly treacherous.

“Okay, I agree.” J smiled slightly and readily agreed.

"Welcome to the Tendo Civilian Security Company. I am Rentaro, IP ranking 123452. Nice to meet you!"

"Yes, please guide me."

Then, J, Rentaro, and Kisara shook hands with each other, confirming their temporary partnership.

"By the way, Rentaro, the reason I called you here is because I received a request..."

The naive and innocent Kisara only started thinking about work at a time like this, then pushed the laptop on the table in front of Rentaro. The surveillance footage playing on it was the same news footage that J had seen on TV in the living room earlier.

"Something's happened in the town. Take Enju to handle it. Remember to settle the payment when you're done. Also, don't forget the discounted bean sprouts at the supermarket... And while you're at it, take these two newbies to get acquainted with the process of handling the case and the work." Kisara is always very efficient when giving orders.

"An hour ago...you...why are you only telling me now?!" Rentaro's expression changed drastically as he looked at the time the request was initiated.

"Because I was scared by that furry and scary thing just now..." Kisara immediately explained, sounding aggrieved.

"Furry...?"

The fact that the job involved his reward made Rentaro extremely anxious, so he slammed the door open and strode out. "Enju, we have a mission, let's go! And J, bring your Initiator along too."

Enju, with her amazing agility, had already caught Kuriboh and was grinning mischievously as she was about to pluck its fur when she heard Rentaro's voice and immediately replied, "Okay!!"

The adorable little girl with pink twin ponytails tossed her head back, baring her teeth and claws as she fiercely threatened the pitiful-looking Chestnut Ball: "Are you the pet of the Initiator or the Promoter? You'd better live well, or if you play hide-and-seek with 'me' or run away, 'me' will pluck all your fur and eat you!"

[Second update this afternoon. It's a bit short but not padded, because even those who haven't read Black Bullet can gradually understand this worldview.]

[Bonus Chapter: A Belated Confession]

Eruma realized that without Tina, there might be no one to take care of her, let alone look after her.

Ugh... thinking about it this way, it's really terrible.

Therefore, whether it's daily work or the indecisiveness in life, all of these require us to make our own choices.

No way!!

But there's nothing we can do now. Although Tina has left, she said she would definitely come back to this world to visit her again if she had the chance.

The Sea Dragon Girl always firmly believed in this statement.

So, when Tina really comes back, I absolutely... absolutely cannot let her see me as lazy and careless as before.

With these thoughts in mind, Erma secretly made an incredibly important and incredibly difficult decision.

That is to change yourself!

In the human world, she had heard of people who would quit smoking and drinking and change their bad habits for the sake of their loved ones. Perhaps her decision was the same?

The day Tina left

The day the sea dragon girl made up her mind

The next morning sun was warm, and Elma was just about to stay in bed when, upon opening her eyes, a familiar illusion appeared before her.

Imagine Tina's serene face, her large, bright, ruby-like eyes staring at you, and with a flicker of her gaze, the girl seems to be smiling at you.

The sea dragon girl pursed her lips tightly, her voice suddenly choked with emotion, but a smile appeared on her face as she thought to herself: Good morning, Tina, I know... I'll get up right away.

……

Arriving at the company and walking to her desk, Hailongniang saw the already packed work schedule that followed her vacation, and her hard-won energy vanished instantly.

Why?! There are so many?!

"Hmm, but now is not the time to complain," Eruma clenched her fists to encourage herself, then sat down seriously and began to carefully flip through the pages, starting with the top one.

……
