The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Fortunately, the roar of an engine could be heard from afar. Rentaro reacted quickly, shoving Kisara inside and then dodging into the passage himself.

The next second, the first race car barely grazed past, and the second race car followed like lightning half a second later.

With a rip, Rentaro's black coat was violently torn into tattered strips, and his body was instantly pulled by a tremendous force. Rentaro and Kisara, whom he was dragging along, fell to the ground in a sorry state, rolling several times with a thud.

"Hahaha--!"

In my ears, I could still hear the mocking and arrogant laughter left behind by the biker gang as they sped away.

"Kisara, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?!" Rentaro didn't think of himself first, but immediately got up and hurriedly helped Kisara up.

"It's that group of people again. One day... I'll kill them!"

Kisara raised her pretty face, which was covered in dust, and a terrible gloom appeared on her face... The story of these bikers calling themselves "Cursed Child Killer" and "Righteous Racer God" had been around for a long time, and this time they had even messed with Kisara.

Rentaro gritted his teeth, his equally terrifying gaze fixed on the two speeding motorcycles that sped away into the night.

Ahead lay the riverbank, so there were only two roads branching off to the left and right. Two motorcyclists swerved their tires and stylishly drifted to the right.

As they turned their gaze, they suddenly saw a group of little girls gathered together on the roadside ahead.

First, they had no guardians; second, they were dressed in thin, pitiful clothes; and third, they were all little girls around ten years old… The bikers almost instantly concluded that they were undoubtedly the Cursed Children, suddenly experiencing a bowling ball-like déjà vu, as if they themselves were that ball. This gave the two bikers a surge of adrenaline.

"These cursed children dare to gather together like this! I'll crush them all—!!"

The first one is a normal pervert, the second one is a deeply delusional pervert: "The mournful flames of the plundered generation, devour the evil before you! Hahahaha—!"

Suddenly, a slightly older loli-like girl in the crowd turned around with a gentle spin.

Her flashing red eyes, like those of a cutting-edge camera, focused precisely from afar. From the crazed gazes of the two bikers, Tina instantly understood that these two were deliberately trying to crash into her with malicious intent.

They really dared to come...!

"Rocket Propelled Grenade—"

Tina stretched out her small hand, and virtual light and shadow, floating like data, appeared in front of her. They instantly split apart and traversed dimensions, revealing in an instant an exaggeratedly shaped rocket-assisted grenade launcher, with huge rockets already pre-loaded.

Between the gaps inside the tube, a fleeting burst of flame could be seen. With a roar of blasting air, the rocket launched from the tube, its stabilizing fins deploying, and in a split second, it accelerated to its maximum speed.

At such close range, coupled with the car's full speed, when they realized with astonishment that the girl had somehow produced an RPG and unleashed a rocket without hesitation, their wide eyes reflected unbelievable fear, and for a moment they forgot how to maneuver their car to dodge.

Boom boom boom—!!!

Soon, the flames engulfed the fear and ended the evil. With a deafening explosion, the silence of the night was shattered, and the sky was illuminated by a blaze of fire.

The scorching heat slapped against the girl's cheeks. She glanced at what lay before her—two racing carcasses, instantly shattered into countless fragments, littering the entire road, and blood flowing everywhere—the remains of a biker gang, reduced to blood and gore.

This is no ordinary rocket. In addition to its destructive power through simple flame explosions, the dimensional dust and other substances mixed in within it can even generate an annihilating force that warps space.

...Of course, given the negligible defensive capabilities of convertible cars, even the most basic anti-tank rockets would be enough to kill them without a trace.

The cursed children had never witnessed such a scene before and were all stunned. When Tina turned around and looked at them again, they each instinctively took a step back in fear.

“I want to protect you,” Tina said.

But the eyes of the lolis, and even Enju and Asako, were filled with a sense of unfamiliarity and fear when they looked at her.

They couldn't understand how Tina, who had been so gentle just a moment ago, could now vanish like a demon in the blink of an eye, obliterating both race cars and their occupants... Although they were unaware of the two biker gang's initial malicious intent.

Then, when Rentaro and Kisara arrived around a corner, they were also shocked by the bloody scene.

"Enju...!!" Rentaro saw Enju and immediately ran over. Enju also rushed over and threw herself into Rentaro's arms.

"I'm back. I'm sorry to have worried you, Rentaro." Enju hugged Rentaro tightly.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that Enju is back..." Rentaro almost cried with joy, patting Enju's shoulder again and again to comfort her.

Kisara stared blankly at Tina and asked, "What... just happened?"

Tina noticed that the Cursed Children seemed to still be afraid of her, but she didn't know how to explain it to them. Finally, her gaze fell on Kisara, and she quietly asked, "If bad people are bullying them, should they be killed...?"

Just moments ago, Kisara had threatened to grind the biker gang to dust, but upon hearing Tina's words and glancing at the horrifying scene not far away, she didn't know how to respond.

So Kisara looked away and, avoiding Tina's question, said, "Now that Enju has been found, let's leave quickly before the police arrive."

Tina: ...

Just then, Mu Geng's phone rang, and at the same time, Tina's watch received a message from Wu Teng.

[A Gastrea with spider-like genes has been spotted in the skies above the city. It is undoubtedly the one that swallowed the box. Come to the administration building immediately.]

Kisara answered the phone and received the same message from J: Gastrea had been discovered, and Rentaro was to be summoned to the administration building immediately.

After all, Kisara is Rentaro's older sister, works at the Tendo Civil Security Company, and is his direct superior. Therefore, when entrusting such a task, one must first call Kisara and have her consult Rentaro's opinion.

"But why go to the administration building?"

“Because that spider is a flying glider, and the administration building has a helicopter, that’s the only way to catch it,” Tina explained.

“Okay…Rentaro?” Kisara turned to ask him.

"The Emperor's request, huh?" Rentaro recalled, secretly wishing to spend more time with Enju, but he turned to ask for her opinion. "...Enju, are you going?"

Do you remember at the end of that commission meeting, after the reappearing Emperor learned that Hiruko Kagetane had come, he added another condition for completing the commission—'you must retrieve the box safely before Hiruko Kagetane,' and claimed that if the contents of the box were misused, it would 'cause a great extinction in the Tokyo area.'

"Of course I'll go! I think... I've found a new target to protect!"

Enju looked around at the Cursed Children who had just become her friends, and finally her gaze fell on Tina. The strange look in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a warm and trusting smile.

Because Tina had been her irreplaceable first 'friend' from the very beginning.

"Let's not delay, let's go..."

Tina was momentarily dazed by Enju's smile, then quickly avoided her gaze and turned to Kisara Tendo, saying, "Kisara-nee, I'm entrusting the Cursed Children to you."

"Hmm!" Kisara smiled slightly at her, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "...I can answer your question now. If anyone hurts them, I will spare no effort to protect them with my life."

Tina: "..."

Enju was reluctant to part with her newly met friends, so she quickly struggled off Rentaro and gave each of them a brief hug in farewell.

"Yuha-chan, Shino-chan, and everyone... It was a pleasure to meet you all, but I have to leave for a bit. See you next time, no! See you tomorrow... Hey, thank you so much for being my friend."

"We promised to see each other tomorrow, pinky promise, don't go back on your word." Ye tiptoed and gently hugged Yanzhu, and the cursed children all smiled and watched her go.

As they parted, Tina's small and lonely figure gradually disappeared into the shadow of the huge building, and Asako hurriedly followed after her.

Finally, Rentaro and Enju also left. The Cursed Children were entrusted to Kisara's care for the time being.

Asako caught up with Tina and saw how quiet the girl was, so she didn't say a word, but took a step forward and walked alongside her.

Suddenly, as if afraid of something unknown in the darkness, the girl reached out her small hand and grasped Asako's. Asako paused for a moment, then quietly closed her fingers and gently held the outstretched hand, a smile playing on her lips.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Five minutes later.

Tina, Asako, Enju, and Rentaro were still on their way to the administration building. Suddenly, a blinding ray of light shone down from the sky, so bright that they instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.

As the helicopter descended rapidly, the sound of the rotors grew increasingly clear. After reaching the lowest possible altitude, a long rope ladder was lowered from above.

...

[The comments section between the previous two chapters seems to be on fire! The Black Bullet world is unscientific, and no novel is scientifically rigorous... If you can, please give me some face and don't argue QAQ]

[By the way, does anyone have any objections to Asako and Mitsuyoshi dying out...? Since they were there to expose the 44th District, I'll revise it if they don't die out.]

[I feel like Tina is quite similar to Tachibana Kanade right now. She's kuudere when she needs to be! She's melancholic when she's quiet, and beautiful when she smiles... It's just that Tina can be a little willful... But people keep saying she's not kuudere. Let's not be so picky about a fake kuudere for the sake of yuri~]

[No staying up late tonight 55, no classes tomorrow, will update later, 1+ words]

[Ta63 We got a Marine?]

The sound of propellers churning the air filled the air as the government-issued civilian pilot, guided by Wu Teng, tirelessly tracked the dots on the radar screen.

It turns out that Wu Teng is even more reliable than Uncle J. After all, he's been a seasoned veteran in the reincarnation world for so long, and his skills are very comprehensive. He has some knowledge of aircraft piloting, thermal tracking, and even psychology.

The helicopter is rapidly approaching the spot of light at a constant speed.

The light spot represents the gastrula, a species of spider that weaves its web into the shape of a parachute. The web is composed of sharp angles, which generate lift when it flies through the air, thus giving it the ability to fly.

Wu Teng thought to himself, if Spider-Man knew about this ability, he would probably say, "Coach, spitting webs is too troublesome, I want to learn this!"

The helicopter quickly flew away from the human settlements, even beyond the giant stone wall, and arrived over a lush, tree-lined land.

Looking down, everyone discovered that below was not just a forest with tall trees and overgrown shrubs, but also dilapidated and abandoned residential buildings scattered among the dense forest.

"This must be the former Chiba Prefecture..."

The once bustling city, after ten years of neglect, has been replaced by shrubs, weeds, and dense jungle. This area is now enemy territory beyond the giant stone barrier, and a dangerous zone where Gastrea roam freely.

The helicopter pilot, a sentimental man, looked at the dramatic changes in Chiba Prefecture and couldn't help but sigh, "...I never imagined that after ten years, it would have become such a desolate and dilapidated place."

He seemed to realize something, glanced at the radar's detectable area which was almost nonexistent, and solemnly reminded everyone, "We have entered unexplored territory. It is said that many Gastrea live here and never come out. Therefore, please proceed with caution."

"The spider flew into unexplored territory..." J said in a deep voice, "It's only been a short delay, but the original plot has already deviated from its original course."

In the original story, after Hiruko Kagetane snatched the box from Rentaro, he hid in the 'Unexplored Area' to prepare for the fifth stage of summoning Gastrea.

"Excuse me for asking, you mentioned before that this Gastrea swallowed a box. Was that box something important?" Guangye couldn't help but ask.

"Do you know about the zodiac?" J asked, lighting a cigarette while shielding his eyes from the wind with his hand.

"Is it the general term for Stage V Gastrea?" Asako said, "...The eleven Stage V Gastrea that once nearly destroyed the world were given the names of the Zodiac signs by the United States and Japan as temporary code names during the Gastrea Wars. Apart from Cancer, which was originally vacant, two of them - Taurus and Virgo - were eliminated by the number 1 and number 2 IP respectively."

"Yes, the contents of the box are the medium for summoning one of the zodiac signs... Scorpio!"

This information was only released by the Holy Emperor after Hiruko Kagetane had seized the box. J revealed it first to draw their attention.

"You're kidding me... How could this be? Heaven... Scorpio's medium...?!" Rentaro was stunned.

Seeing that the protagonist was still skeptical, J slowly exhaled a smoke ring and added, "I know that you, a novice warrior, are under a lot of pressure to encounter a max-level demon king right after leaving the starting village... but this is indeed what the Holy Emperor said himself."

Rentaro: "..."

"Gastrea, they've appeared...! Hey driver, land now!"
