The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

It is a unique palace building with a distinct Japanese style, while also incorporating European elements. Its white stone walls, which are the same color as the white clouds, and its majestic and beautiful appearance are quite in line with the image of the holy emperor.

After putting the little girl down, Xia Shi quietly walked behind the girl and asked, "Tina, should we wake her up now?"

"Let the owl sleep a little longer."

"Oh." Xia Shi suddenly became restless, glancing upwards frequently, and whispered, "...Tina-chan, now it's just the two of us left."

Hmm...? What does that sentence mean?

“…We agreed to learn how to make sundaes, but before that, I need to try the taste of a sundae and understand its ingredients,” Xia Shidao said. “—So, where’s the sundae?”

With nothing in her hands, Tina turned around at the window and presented the ultra-luxurious sundae cup again, naturally taken from the imaginary space.

Seeing Xia Shi's stunned expression, Tina explained softly, "As you can see, Xia Shi, you can think of it as a superpower... my superpower."

"Wow—" Xia Shi exclaimed with undisguised amazement and curiosity, "Xia Shi can't wait to know more about Tina's secrets. After all, with such a special ability... her origins and past must be quite interesting, right?"

Wonderful……?

Yes, it was amazing, amazing to the point of being terrifying. After all, she didn't want to mention being transformed into a humanoid weapon to anyone around her.

When Tina heard the mention of sundaes, what came to mind was...

"If it's from Xia Shi, please don't be shy and enjoy it."

Tina entrusted the fate of the giant sundae in her hands to Xia Shi, then turned and eagerly set off towards an even greater goal.

Refrigerator... Refrigerator... Where is the refrigerator...?

Although it is the emperor's private bedroom, it is over 200 square meters. If it weren't for the limited space on the top floor, he could probably have built a small movie theater inside... Damn rich people.

Unlike a guest seeking lodging, Tina was more like a ruthless robber. She swiftly ransacked all the rooms and finally found a refrigerator and freezer in the private dining area next door.

"O Cup of Evil, frozen and encased here, let me grant you salvation..." Tina murmured to herself as she opened the refrigerator door.

……

On the other side, Natsume Senju placed the sundae on the table, looked at it several times, and finally couldn't resist taking a sip. The sweetness of the milk mixed with the slight bitterness of the fruit jam was surprisingly delicious.

Previously, under the supervision of the military commander, Xia Shi was forced to learn to appreciate wine. Wine has its own flavors—sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy—and even its stimulating properties, like fighting a Gastrea. Now, he's unilaterally drawn to Tina's side. The short time spent with her, like a melt-in-your-mouth sundae, is sweetly unforgettable… but the emptiness and desolation that follows is more deadly than poison.

So this is what it tastes like...

I want it to continue forever, Xia Shi thought.

Having made up her mind, she savored the sundae with all her heart. Whenever inspiration struck, she would quickly jot it down with pen and paper, and even went to her study to look up relevant information on her computer.

As for Tina Sprantt, she was still fast asleep.

------

Tomorrow, the head of state of the Osaka region, Saitama Sōgen, will be visiting for informal talks.

Having heard rumors of this politician's ruthless and autocratic rule, and to guard against assassination attempts, the Holy Emperor specifically requested Rentaro to serve as his bodyguard.

The Holy Emperor's schedule was surprisingly short today; by just past 4 p.m., he had already finished his routine meetings and work on promoting the new law.

Humanity's negative image of the cursed child is deeply ingrained, and the promotion of the Gastrea Law still faces numerous obstacles. Therefore, today's noble beauty—the Holy Emperor—is also troubled.

The Emperor thought he should perhaps calm down and devise a new strategy.

Surrounded by the guards, the beautiful girl stepped gracefully out of the car. She subconsciously looked towards the central fountain in front of the sanctuary, but unexpectedly, she didn't see the little girl riding her bicycle around the fountain today.

The birds were singing and the flowers were blooming, the scenery was beautiful, it would be even better if we could ignore the strict and cold guards in front of the Holy Residence... But this also proves that Tina and the others did not come to the Holy Residence.

The Holy Emperor soon realized he was wrong.

Along the short ten steps and thirty-meter passage leading to their rooms, five or six unconscious armed guards lay sprawled out, and so far no one had discovered them.

Lieutenant Bao Xie and his guards were terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Bao Xie quickly stepped forward to help one of the guards up, but after shaking him from side to side without success, he finally slapped him twice hard to wake him up.

"Hey! How long are you going to keep sleeping, you bastard?!... Explain yourself! What exactly happened here?!"

After being slapped awake, the guard was still in a daze, his eyes filled with terror: "...Lieutenant Yasukawa, I...I don't know either. That shadow was too fast, and its power was definitely at the level of the Cursed Child...However, it should be certain that it was heading towards His Majesty the Holy Emperor's sacred bedchamber."

Damn it!

Bao Xie released the guard, his dark yet excited gaze falling on the white gate of the Holy Tomb. He cautiously stepped forward, drawing his pistol from his waist and cocking it, while ordering, "One person go and request backup, the rest of you be on guard, swearing to protect His Majesty the Holy Emperor's safety to the death! I... will go and scout out the enemy's strength first!"

The excitement stemmed from the opportunity to impress the Holy Emperor. These guards were merely unconscious, and even if they harbored ill intentions, they certainly wouldn't dare to kill anyone within the Holy Residence.

Even Bao Xie could see it, so how could the Holy Emperor not know? He thought to himself, could it really be Tina...? The guards outside didn't even notice, so when did she sneak in?

Just then, her personal cell phone rang again. It was the same familiar number. Before everyone's attention could be diverted, the Emperor angrily hung up quickly.

"Lieutenant Yasushi, wait a moment."

If they could so easily infiltrate my sacred chamber, they would have done so long ago in the hospital if they truly wanted to harm me.

...Moreover, someone who was willing to risk his life to save even the cursed son Xia Shi couldn't possibly be a bad person, right?

"Holy...Holy Emperor?!" Bao Xie, who was stopped by the cold voice, turned around in a daze, not understanding what was going on.

The Holy Emperor looked at the guards lying unconscious on the ground... Damn it, how am I supposed to explain this?!

"that……"

As the Holy Emperor pondered, he walked toward the direction of the Holy Palace.

Finally, the slender figure in azure blue stood before the gate. The Holy Emperor, his face slightly flushed, turned his back to the crowd and said in as calm a voice as possible, "Actually, it's nothing. There are no enemies inside, just my friends..."

"Friends?... But if they are friends of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, why not do it openly and honestly, instead of beating up the guards and forcing their way in?"

“I say so.” The Holy Emperor did not turn around, but merely glanced at him with his slightly cold eyes. “…Lieutenant Baoxi, given my position, do I need to explain so much to you? Just follow orders.”

The door was suddenly opened, a hand reached out and pulled the Holy Emperor inside, then slammed it shut again.

As everyone stood there dumbfounded, the door opened a crack and the Holy Emperor poked his head out, his expression a mixture of shame and icy resentment: "Remember, you are not to reveal a single word about what happened here!"

Witnessing the Emperor's expression for the first time, the guard turned his rusty, mechanical neck to look at Takumi Howaki: "Captain... Captain?"

Lieutenant Baoxi also looked frustrated. Fu'er turned around and asked the guard who had just been woken up, "Did you see clearly? Are you sure it's the cursed child?"

"No... I don't know, I can only vaguely remember that it should be the shadow of three little girls."

"A little girl..."

Yasuoki breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't unacceptable for the Holy Emperor to be involved in yuri at such a rebellious age, as long as it wasn't a secret rendezvous with a man. Yasuoki Takuto had always coveted the Holy Emperor, who was of marriageable age, and he disliked the men close to the Holy Emperor even more than the Cursed Child... such as Rentaro.

Wait a minute!

"...Wait a minute! You just said three, three?!"

Bao Xie's first thought was, could she handle three emperors...?

------

After being pulled into the room, the Holy Emperor glared at Tina with displeasure:

"The entrance to the Holy Residence is heavily guarded, so how did you get in?"

"Stealth," the girl replied.

Stealth...? The Holy Emperor really wanted to open the door and show the girl the unconscious guards who hadn't been dragged away yet.

"What about the bedroom door? Without my fingerprints and voiceprints, no one should be able to get in without forcibly breaking down the door."

The young girl, Tina, stretched out a fair and delicate hand and said expressionlessly, "I can hijack a satellite cannon, so what's a door?"

"That satellite cannon... Tina... it was you?!"

The strange matter reported by the Defense Bureau had troubled the Holy Emperor for a long time, but Tina readily admitted it without any remorse, which naturally surprised him greatly.

“I’ve said it before, I’m very strong,” Tina said. “...I heard you’re attending Qi Wuzong’s visit and talks tomorrow, so you might need a bodyguard as strong as me.”

"Ah... but I've already entrusted the bodyguard matters to Officer Rentaro."

“I’m talking about the family bodyguards of the Holy Sepulchre.”

"Huh, a family bodyguard...?!" the Holy Emperor exclaimed in confusion. "But there shouldn't be any danger in my room, right?"

“If you think that way, you’re sorely mistaken.” Tina turned around and walked to the left side of the bedroom, which led to the bathroom and living room.

A deep curiosity welled up within the Holy Emperor, and he involuntarily followed Tina.

—The two arrived at the closed bathroom door, with the sound of flowing water in their ears. Inside, the room was filled with mist and rising steam. The loli's delicate, youthful body, glistening with dew, was faintly visible through the mist.

"Who, who's taking a bath in there?! Besides us... does that mean it's Xia Shi?" The Holy Emperor thought that this was the only possibility.

The sound of running water stopped, and the little girl in the bathroom just came out of the shower. She opened the door, and there was Tina Sprantt.

A large white bath towel draped over her shoulders, barely covering a few private areas. Large swathes of smooth, silky skin were exposed from the front, shoulders, back, and thighs, like a glimpse of alluring spring sunshine, with glistening water droplets still clinging to her skin.

Her long, flowing golden hair was also covered in dew, exuding a fresh and intoxicating fragrance. As soon as the little girl Tina emerged from her bath, she saw the young Tina and the dazed Holy Emperor.

Oh, Holy Emperor... I never expected that I would be brought to the home of the assassination target by such a twist of fate. She was amazed by the wonder of destiny.

"Hello, I'm sorry to bother you by using the bathroom for a moment..."

With a voice as cute as a marshmallow, Lolita Tina brushed past the two after she finished speaking.

"She...she..."

The Holy Emperor recalled that this was the little girl who had been riding her bicycle around the fountain opposite the Holy Residence repeatedly lately, and he was so surprised that he was speechless.

"I brought her here to stay with me."

"what--?!"

"Getting back to the point, your room is also fraught with danger."

As Tina spoke, she led the way into the still-steaming bathroom. The Holy Emperor followed nervously, and then, following the girl's gaze, he spotted a miniature hidden camera in the corner of the bathroom.

"A surveillance camera?" The Holy Emperor was stunned. "...No, when I took a bath this morning, there was definitely no surveillance camera...So I strongly suspect that you installed it just now!!"

"You just haven't noticed."

Tina leaped lightly, and with a flash of cold light, the military knife that suddenly appeared in her hand unearthed the miniature surveillance camera from its root.

The girl landed back on the ground, then flipped her hand, fiddling with the treacherous miniature surveillance device in front of the Holy Emperor.

"Moreover, this is not just a monitor; on its back is a propulsion device for ultra-small caliber bullets. Bullets that are only 5mm in diameter can be accelerated to supersonic speeds instantly, making it incredibly easy to aim at vital organs and kill with a single shot."
