[Tina seems a bit off? She'll be alright after this ordeal.]

[I don't dislike Rentaro; on the contrary, I really like the Rentaro-Enju pairing. Cutting out those NTR (Netorare) is for the good of the main characters, right? (Probably)]

[Ta90 Cancer: Fear from the Deep Sea]

With special identity cards bestowed upon them by the Holy Emperor, Tina and Chishou Natsumi could freely enter and leave this heavily guarded holy residence.

Even if the Holy Emperor trusted Tina the Weapon Tina the most, he wouldn't be foolish enough to give Tina an access card as well, given that she wanted to assassinate him.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Tina needs to go with Tina or Xia Shi to enter the heavily guarded Holy Residence.

But who knows if Tina Sprantt has found some shortcut for infiltration, or a weak point in the defenses, because—

On the top floor of the Holy Residence, Xia Shi used a magnetic card to open the door to the Holy Chamber.

I can hardly believe what's happening right in front of me!

The Holy Emperor, cornered against the wall by a loli wielding a sharp AK-47, was pale and trembling, holding a steaming cup of milk in both hands.

Around the two, four mechanical spheres floated in mid-air, emitting four beams of red light that enveloped the Holy Emperor. In addition, three light machine guns surrounded them, creating an astonishingly large formation.

Tina: "..."

Xia Shi opened his mouth, utterly astonished, and exclaimed, "Tina... how did you get here so fast?!"

No, actually Tina wasn't fast at all; it was because Xia Shi and the young Tina had been walking for over an hour. You see, people in love often feel like an eternity, and an hour felt like just a blink of an eye to her.

Hearing the noise behind her, Tina turned her head slightly and met the girl's calm and cold gaze.

"Ooh-ah—!" the owl drew out an exaggeratedly long sound.

Then, with lightning speed, she pulled out an apple, stabbed it through with the dagger on her AK, and presented it to the still trembling Holy Emperor. Tina gave him a smile that seemed to invite him to taste: "I just wanted to peel an apple for you to eat."

Xia Shi rushed over, snatched the AK away, and glared angrily at the owl.

"What...what were you doing just now? Does that mean your promise to Tina doesn't count?"

“I was just conducting a simulated assassination exercise,” Tina replied matter-of-factly.

"...This is so strange! Who conducts assassination drills with their own target?!"

"Isn't it all for Tina's good intentions?" Tina pointed at the Holy Emperor and said seriously, "...Don't be fooled by how badly she's shaking now. Next time she sees a scene like this, I believe that with the composure that the Holy Emperor has honed, she will definitely be able to remain calm in the face of danger."

Everyone present firmly believed this statement.

Of course, everyone also suspected that the Holy Emperor might be driven to mental illness before he could cope.

They had no idea how much intimidation the Holy Emperor had endured from the owl before the two arrived, to the point that upon seeing Tina, he finally felt 'at ease' and fainted, about to collapse to the ground.

Tina quickly darted to the Holy Emperor's side, took the milk cup from her hand, placed it aside, and then, together with Xia Shi, helped her back to her room.

……

The Holy Emperor, who had just finished his household chores, taken a shower, put on his pajamas, and made a cup of hot milk, was suddenly frightened unconscious by an owl that barged in with sharp knives, guns, and a smile.

Since it was almost 10 p.m., he didn't plan to wake her up again. After covering the noblewoman with a blanket, he turned off the light and went out.

But on the pillow next to her big bed, the young Tina found a stack of documents and wondered if it was her work before bed.

Out of curiosity, I picked it up and flipped through it casually. Sure enough, it was all about policies and documents related to the implementation of the "Gastrul Law." The Holy Emperor, the head of state of this country, has certainly put in a lot of effort.

At the very bottom of the folder, Tina inadvertently discovered a top-secret document bag with a red cover.

This is……?!

"Tina...?" Xia Shi tugged at her clothes, probably urging her to ask why she wasn't going out.

"You go out first, I'll be right there."

"Okay, then I'll go try making some cone ice cream~" Xia Shi tiptoed out, trying not to make a sound.

Because of Wu Teng's repeated requests, Tina accidentally took on a task.

Tomorrow during the day, I have the job of teaching the cursed sons of the Beijing Foreign Studies University's Zhou District.

If it weren't for the fact that the owl's assassinations always happened at night, Tina would have loved to shove bullets in that guy's face. She was clearly too busy to have any free time.

Now that he had agreed, Xia Shi was determined to use his newly learned cold drink technique to benefit the cursed child, because a sundae was too monotonous and he had to learn to make cylinders to add some decoration.

After Xia Shi left, Tina pulled out a top-secret file from the bottom of the document and carefully broke the seal.

Despite having a premonition, I was still slightly surprised when I saw it was about [Area 44].

[The origin of Area 44——

The Japanese territory within the Stonehenge complex is divided into 43 areas, but the 44th area is located in the former Numazu City, 80 miles from Tokyo. It is a death zone outside the Stonehenge boundaries, inhabited by Gastrea.

The famous active volcano Mount Fuji contains the largest reserves of chromium ore in all of Japan. No one would have imagined that a vein of ore from Mount Fuji extends downwards for dozens of miles, beneath the former city of Numazu, where another massive chromium vein, second only to Mount Fuji itself, was also found...

Like Mount Fuji, this chromium vein naturally emits a terrifying magnetic field, enveloping the pristine area of ​​this small town, making it impossible for ordinary Gastrea to even approach it.

……

The construction of District 44

Even in the darkest of worlds, there is light. One of the co-presidents of IISO, Koken Otonashi; Tokyo leader Seiten-shi; and the daughter of the president of Shiba Heavy Industries, Miori Shiba, are all humanitarians who sympathize with the "Cursed Children" faction.

Thus, the Light String provided a large number of inhibitors, the Holy Emperor invested money and manpower to ensure their success, and the Sima family, in addition to providing technical support, was also responsible for developing various weapons using local materials such as ruthenium ore, for the Cursed Son to use against the enemy. The three parties secretly constructed District 44 together.

……

[Policies of District 44]

District 44 is equipped with a massive jamming device from Sima Heavy Industries, making it impossible for even satellites to detect the situation there.

District 44 has no government army or promoters, so the surviving indigenous people rely on the fighting power of the Cursed Children to maintain their lives. They regard each of the Cursed Children as their closest relatives, and over time, the treatment of the Cursed Children here has become vastly different from that outside.

……

The Secrets of District 44

Numazu City is located west of the Pacific Ocean. Despair and nightmares from the deep sea, the missing phase V: the secret of Cancer, one of the zodiac signs, is hidden in the 44th district!

Perhaps it's because of Cancer; V at other stages, or perhaps out of fear of 'Cancer's power,' doesn't want to get close to Area 44... This is also the most important reason why Area 44 has existed to this day.

……

"...The ruler of the deep sea, the constellation Cancer of the zodiac? So, the collapse of the megalith and Aldebaran were just a smokescreen?"

After imprinting all the information into her mind, the young girl Tina took a deep breath before putting the stack of documents back in their original place beside the Holy Emperor's pillow.

I turned off the lights and went out the door.

Tina entered the living room and sat on the sofa. She was still lost in her thoughts and didn't notice that Tina Sprant was sitting next to her.

The anime "Tenchu ​​Girl" is playing on the LCD TV in the living room.

I never expected Tina to watch this kind of stuff.

But one of the owls suddenly became possessed.

Seeing that Tina seemed distracted, she pretended to watch anime, moved closer to Tina, and then, taking her by surprise, suddenly turned and kissed her.

As a result, the girl, who suddenly came to her senses, covered her mouth with her delicate hand.

"...How can this be repaired!"

Tina forcefully pushed her hand away, snorted, and turned her head back.

A moment later, the owl's gaze darted to Xia Shi, who was busy in the food service area across the street, and it couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is Xia Shi doing? Is he making ice cream while reading a book?"

"Preview the text, because we will be teaching the cursed sons of the outer perimeter tomorrow."

Tina turned her gaze to Xia Shi's busy little figure, looking very serious and hardworking... Why? This scene made her feel dazed, and she whispered:

“…Senju Natsuyoshi is a very good teacher.”

“She would also be a wonderful wife to you,” Tina added with a smile.

Girl Tina: "..."

"It's just that she doesn't have the intelligence to bully Tina in a righteous way, sigh." Tina sighed softly.

"...That's not the right way." A certain weapon spat.

“Speaking of which… eh? Tina-chan…” Tina stared at the girl with extremely eager eyes and asked, “Robots… and things with steel hearts, can they really have feelings? Can they really fall in love with someone? Are they willing to give everything for someone? Or is ‘love’ just an AI program in a high-tech dimension?”

Tina would, of course, answer such a profound question seriously and earnestly.

"No. No. No. There's no such procedure." Okay, all four questions have been answered at once.

Tina's eyes were filled with resentment; she was just about to say, "Don't try to be perfunctory!"

Suddenly, an accident occurred to Xia Shi, who was busy in the dining room across the street.

"Ah—!" came Xia Shi's panicked shout.

Owl felt a strong gust of wind sweep past her side. When she came to her senses, she realized that Tina, who was sitting next to her, had disappeared and appeared next to Xia Shi in an instant, catching the ice cream cone that had been knocked over.

"I'll help you," the girl said.

"Thank you."

Looking at Tina, who seemed to have descended from heaven to save the day, and saying "I'll help you" in an unquestionable tone, Xia Shi's face flushed slightly, and she whispered, "...Then please preheat the oven for me, bake it on medium heat for 5-8 minutes, and then I'll go beat the egg whites."

……

The young girl Tina and the little girl Xia Shi started working together, whispering to each other from time to time. From being unfamiliar at first, they worked together with perfect understanding after a few minutes.

"..."

Tina, who witnessed this heartwarming scene, couldn't help but purse her lips with a smile. She simply didn't believe that Tina was an ordinary robot controlled by AI...

I'd like a truckload of these robots.

Now that Tina's power has recovered to a level far surpassing his own, there's no way to force her anymore.

"Tina is definitely cuter when she's weakened and being humiliated by the owl..."

Tina turned off the TV and was about to go back to her room when Xia Shi suddenly ran over, grabbed her arm, and tried to stop her.
