The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

Although Tina was surprisingly calm, Elma still wanted to make amends, so she suggested, "I'm so sorry for ruining your drink, but I'm in a hurry and may not be able to buy you another one. So, here's the money, you can buy another one yourself."

As she spoke, Erma took out a 100-yen coin and put it into Tina's hand.

Sister Ai, how dare you try to fob me off with only 100 yen for a 300 yen cup of cold drink?!

"Oh, right." Elma suddenly looked at Tina with a hopeful expression and said, "...I said, could you help me cover a class?"

What shift are you referring to? Are you going to cover for me? Hey, you little dragon, don't push your luck!

Seeing Tina's calm expression, Erma assumed she was considering it, so she quickly launched into a long explanation about saving the world: "Believe me, I'm not being lazy! Actually... actually, I'm a sea dragon maintaining order in another world! This morning, I discovered an evil force infiltrating this world, and I must go and eliminate it as soon as possible... because only I can eliminate it!"

Faced with such a request, and to fabricate such absurd and fantastical reasons, a normal person's normal reaction would definitely be "MDZZ" (a vulgar expression).

But Tina is familiar with the plot and naturally knows Elma Sea Dragon's identity. Seeing how seriously she spoke, it's probably true... after all, she also belongs to the 'good dragon' camp.

Tina didn't rush to refuse, but asked curiously, "Then why are you still hesitant about going to work? Is going to work more important than maintaining order?"

Elma blushed and quickly looked away, stammering, "Well... but... if I don't work and don't get paid, I won't be able to afford cream bread... I'll die without cream bread, how will I have the strength to maintain order..."

The 'Balance of the Church' bloodline within Elma often causes her to struggle with choices.

But... how can you be so conflicted between eliminating evil and going to work... Erma, do you know that the 'order' you're supposed to protect is crying out?!

"Alright..." Tina had witnessed the strangeness of these dragon species. They were all addicted to worldly affairs and willingly degenerate, gradually losing their dragon nature in this world of dazzling lights and intoxicating pleasures.

"Then I'll cover your shift for a day." Since it was Elma's request, he had no choice but to agree.

"Thank you so much! Thank you so much! May I ask your name? I will definitely repay you when I have the chance!" Elma said sincerely.

No need for thanks or anything, just make up the 200 yen difference for the cold drink...

"Oh no, that evil force is back! We can't let it continue to wreak havoc!" Before Tina could finish speaking, Elma's expression changed as if facing a formidable enemy, and she quickly apologized in a low voice, "...I'm sorry, I'll leave the substitute shift to you."

Tina: "..."

After saying that, Erma disappeared from Tina's sight with lightning speed, as if casting some kind of magic. Where she had been standing, a work ID card floated down from mid-air and was caught by Tina.

[(Not part of the main text) Wow! The author has appeared! —And a thank you note in the main text]

Author:

"Wow, this part is so damn hard to write. Let me think... yeah, I'll play through Maid Dragon multiple times to find some inspiration."

"Wow, I've read it nineteen times already, where's my inspiration?! Oh well... I'll go check the book's stats to find some motivation!"

"Wow, this is outrageous! 0 monthly votes, 1 favorite, and 2 recommendation votes in the last 12 hours! Not even a single knife! Wow, I'm so frustrated, I don't even want to write anymore! (Silently gazing into the distance)"

...The above describes the author's current state (though it's a bit exaggerated).

从4-10号正式发第一章至今，已有4天了，4天内2w6字数的更新，算对得起大学闲的一逼的自己

Because it was a new book, I was very careful with the early plot. While I wouldn't say I repeatedly revised it, it's true that it took me three hours to write those 3000 words. I remember that the next day, the 11th (or maybe the 10th), I wrote until 2:30 AM, and only went to sleep after updating the book.

The data from the past four days... well, how should I put it... it's the best performance I've achieved during the initial release period of all my books. Well, it's unexpected, especially considering it was achieved without any recommendations. Although it only has less than 500 favorites and fewer than 10 donations, at least I've improved! (This only proves that I was even more of a slacker before... ugh, so sad.)

I've been updating sporadically for the past four days, but the frequency of updates has been quite substantial. A large part of my motivation comes from everyone's feedback and, more importantly, from changes in the data (although sometimes it hasn't changed at all).

Actually, I really don't want to... This statement should be considered a three-point agreement, right?

(Expert reader: You, an ugly newbie, dare to set three rules? Aren't you asking for a beating?)

We still need to go on the date, for a more regular life and for Tina to look even better... (You know, if the data isn't good, I can always save some drafts, right? #funny)

[Updated rules, effective until the contract status changes (new rules will apply after the change)]

[Guaranteed at least one chapter per day, starting at 2.5k words]

[An extra chapter for every 30 monthly votes (2 blades = 1 monthly vote)]

[One extra chapter for every 300 recommendations]

[An extra chapter for every 3000 donations]

[Disclaimer: This book is under a sales contract and will not be sold in the palace. You can add it to your collection with confidence... Recommendations are welcome.]

Please forgive any shortcomings in the writing; feel free to point out any errors. I've read every single one of your comments!

[A line I made up before that somehow sounds pretty catchy: I, Xiaoyue, am skilled in women's clothing and look majestic and dignified.]

[QQ group: No!]

[Also: In the previous chapter... were all amounts under 1000 yen coins...? Sorry, this is just my ignorance, it has been corrected, thank you for your feedback.]

[Ta10, the legendary immortal, has been provoked!]

If there's one universally acknowledged best couple in Dragon Maid, it has to be Fafnir and Takiya Makoto. This 'old married couple's' secluded daily life at home has probably done everything except for those naughty things.

"Faf, today's breakfast is mashed potatoes."

A young man with an oddly shaped appearance—wearing white-rimmed glasses and sporting two large rabbit teeth—was mashing potatoes while talking to Fafnir, who was still playing a game in the next room.

"Oh... is it sweet?" Fafnir asked casually.

“No.” Takiya poured the mashed potatoes into the container and explained, “But mashed potatoes have their advantages too. I know that even if Fav-kun eats breakfast in the morning, he often gets hungry. Mashed potatoes are different; they can fill your stomach and satisfy your hunger... After all, playing games is a physically demanding activity, and you can’t do it without eating enough.”

“Hmm…” Fafnir responded softly.

As a noble dragon, and a cursed dragon at that… it’s strange that a human is worried about me, but it doesn’t feel so bad!

"Oh, right, Mr. Fafu." Takiya asked as if he remembered something while pouring water into the container, "...didn't Ercoa ask you to go and take care of that kid named Shota before?"

“I passed it on to someone else,” Fafnir said nonchalantly.

Who else could it be? Fafnir is a shut-in and doesn't go out, and he doesn't have any other friends in the human world. Takiya racked his brains, and the only possibility he could think of was Tohru... But Tohru is a maid!

So, is it that maids are too idle these days, or gamers are too busy?

"Faf-kun, the mashed potatoes are ready! Would you like to eat them while they're hot?" Takiya had to rush to work, so he could only eat his own portion first.

"I'll leave it there and eat it later." Fafnir said, but his eyes never left the screen. He stared at the figures running on the screen, his hands clicking rapidly on the keyboard and mouse, his expression extremely focused.

While eating homemade mashed potatoes, Takiya also cherished the last bit of free time and moved closer to Fafnir to watch the game.

This game is one of the most popular fantasy MMORPGs in Japan, called "JIUJIUYE". Fafnir plays a swordsman, and by the way, Takiya plays a male priest. Because Fafnir, who has a lot of time, helped him level up, their levels are almost the same.

The only time the two of them could happily play games together was when Takiya came back from get off work in the evening or on public holidays.

in the picture.

The exquisite 3D rendering and near-perfect modeling create a magnificent dragon arena that exudes a palpable sense of bloodshed at a single glance. Thousands of seats around the arena are packed, filled with both NPCs and players.

At this moment, a level 280 gold swordsman with the ID "Dashanmeng" stood majestically in the center of the arena.

Just as Fafnir loosened his grip to relax his muscles, another mage's corpse collapsed before his eyes. The entire arena erupted in thunderous applause.

"The Great Immortal is amazing!!"

"The Great Immortal is amazing!!"

"Great Immortal is Mighty!!" This was a fan group spontaneously formed by ordinary people to worship the hardest-working player, Da Shan Meng, and they were spamming Fafnir's name in the audience.

WIN!

A large "Victory" sign popped up, followed by a public announcement on the world chat.

[Player 'DaShanMeng' defeated the 'Number One Mage in the Chinese Server' in the Dragon Arena, achieving a ten-game winning streak. Is there any warrior who can surpass him?!]

"Faf-kun has become this amazing." Takiya-kun said with delight. "Looks like I'll have to catch up when I have time. I can't hold Faf-chan back."

“A bunch of useless trash, not a single one of them can fight…” Fafnir said calmly with a poker face, and the expert shook his head in loneliness.

"Let's eat the mashed potatoes first, they won't be good if they get cold," Takiya suggested.

Fafnir was about to agree when he took the opportunity to do so.

Suddenly, a message popped up in the bottom right corner.

[Your friend 'Melee Mage' is now online]

Immediately after receiving the message, the level 280 gold swordsman received another invitation.

[Player 'Melee Mage' invites you to a sparring match. Do you agree?]

After the fear of being dominated by Kyo Kusanagi in King of Fighters for the first time, Fafnir recalled the fear of being dominated by a melee mage last night.

It's that melee mage who only leveled up the Holy Light prerequisite, but also mastered all sorts of warrior and assassin skills, including Charge, Shield Block, Heavy Strike, and Backstab. He's terrifyingly invincible.

"YO, it's that mage from last night again... melee mage?" Takiya pushed up his glasses, he also remembered the events of last night very clearly.

Yes, it was the melee mage who trampled Fafnir's golden swordsman, dominating five consecutive matches in the arena and becoming famous overnight. Takigaya controlled two of those five matches, but he was still no match for him.

The most terrifying thing is that after five rounds, they still hadn't figured out a strategy! They were completely clueless! They were utterly helpless against this melee mage who would charge in with a Flash and then unleash a barrage of basic attacks. The melee mage's skill point allocation and playstyle were secondary; their superb technique was truly admirable.

[Private Chat] [Melee Mage] — "Hey, Da Shan is weak, want to practice some more? The martial arts tournament starts at 10 o'clock, and you still haven't found a way to defeat me."

"Hiss..." Fafnir's trembling lips revealed a terrifying expression.

Provocation? Targeting?

Takiya observed all of this without showing any emotion. He then picked up the mouse, took it upon himself to exit the game, and said to Fafnir, "Fafnir, let's have breakfast first so you and the computer can rest for a while. Even if you've been playing all night, you'll get tired. Of course, don't forget the martial arts tournament at 10 o'clock."

"Hmph, I know."

"That's settled then." Having put on his work suit and gotten everything ready, Takiya picked up his briefcase and pushed open the door. "There's lunch in the fridge, I can just heat it up and eat. Well then, see you tonight, Mr. Takiya."

“Yes…” Fafnir replied, “Come back soon.”

The moment he closed the door, Takiya's entire demeanor changed drastically. He transformed from a reclusive otaku into a spirited and handsome young man, though his eyes held a hint of gloom. Takiya rarely got angry, but this time, this [melee mage] had truly enraged him.

Wearing Elma's work badge, Tina entered the company without any hindrance, ostensibly to fill in for someone. Because of her petite stature and cute appearance, she attracted a lot of attention even without smiling.

While riding the elevator, Tina saw an "old acquaintance," Makoto Takiya. He was indeed an old acquaintance in the anime, but they had never met in this world.
