Weapon Girls Are an Otaku's Faith

Tony Stark felt like he was going crazy. Why was there such an anti-human writing tool as a brush pen in the world?!

And his earlier promise to write the character "fu" alongside Rimuru had been nothing but a massive trap!

Looking at the crooked, chicken-scratch-like "fu" he had written on the white paper, Tony Stark was on the verge of a mental breakdown. He had no idea how many hairs he had already torn out.

If he could not even write one character properly, Tony Stark could not afford that humiliation!

But writing "fu" with a brush pen was really too difficult. Did ancient Chinese people use this thing as a writing tool? Were they all superhuman?

Most importantly, he refused to accept it!

"How is your 'fu' coming along? Learning brush calligraphy is extremely difficult. It's fine if you can't finish it."

Rimuru walked in and spoke considerately.

Tony Stark carefully sized Rimuru up. Did this rotten Slime really have such a kind heart?

Was she planning to trick him again?!

He had been traumatized by Rimuru's tricks. He did not believe in her integrity in the slightest.

Tony Stark's expression turned solemn as he puffed himself up proudly like a peacock. "No need to worry. It's only one character. Do you think it can stump the great Tony Stark?"

"Impressive! Impressive!"

"Seeing your hands covered in ink, I thought you were having a hard time writing it. I was just thinking we could call it quits, but since you insist, pretend I said nothing. As expected of genius Tony—your dedication really is admirable!"

Tony Stark: "..."

He knew Rimuru might be fooling him, but what if she was telling the truth?

What if?

Was it still too late to take it back?

No matter how badly Rimuru had tricked him, Stark acknowledged one thing—Rimuru was a genius, one on his level.

Especially when it came to Mecha design, she was not inferior to him in the slightest.

The moment Mecha came up, both of them became exceptionally excited, as if all their conflicts had vanished.

"Rimuru, your Wind God's design philosophy is far too unconventional. It simply cannot adapt to combat requirements in every environment! And if you pursue extreme speed, how many weapons can it even carry?"

"The wisdom of mortals. Wind God may be too fragile for you, but it suits me perfectly. As for weapons, one sword is enough!"

"A sword? Are you kidding me? You want to use the most advanced weapon to fight the most primitive kind of war? That's a regression in design philosophy!"

"The strongest aspects of my Wind God are its burst power and mobility. It was designed for close-range high-speed combat in the first place..."

The two held a fierce debate over the design philosophies of Wind God and Mark. Neither could convince the other, but the exchange benefited them both greatly.

Rimuru had to admit that Tony was a super genius. His head was practically filled with brilliant, unconventional ideas.

Especially when he talked about various special combat Mecha, he went on and on, leaving Rimuru utterly amazed.

However, Rimuru's ideas for suitcase Mecha, watch Mecha, Capsule-style Mecha, and separable combination Mecha also made Tony Stark's eyes shine.

Rimuru truly understood him. The two of them were worthy kindred spirits; many of their ideas coincided without prior discussion.

At the height of their conversation, Tony wanted nothing more than to immediately burn three sticks of incense and become sworn brothers with Rimuru.

"Rimuru, what is your ultimate vision for the Wind God series?"

"Of course, evolving it into a Weapon Girl!"

Mecha were a man's romance, while Weapon Girls were an otaku's faith!

At the thought of the Mecha she designed becoming soft, adorable Mecha girls who could attack and defend, calling her "Admiral," "Master," "Onii-chan," and so on, Rimuru felt that the future was filled with hope and light!

In this materialistic society, people's hearts were cold and merciless. Only tawawa still had a little warmth.

On Earth in her previous life, Weapon Girls might have only been a fantasy, but this was the Marvel Universe—the Marvel Universe where anything was possible!

Tony had created a powerful artificial intelligence, paired it with the Mind Stone, and made a Vision. That was simply a waste.

Most importantly, Vision had actually stolen Wanda away. A robot dared to steal girls? Absolutely unforgivable!

That had been her previous life. In this life, with her here, she would never just sit back and watch Vision be born.

Even if one had to be born, it could only be her soft and adorable Mecha girl!

Tony Stark was completely dumbfounded.

Shouldn't the ultimate fantasy of Mecha be cooler, faster, and stronger?

"Jarvis, what is a Weapon Girl?"

Jarvis: "Weapon Girls refer to creations that combine aircraft, warships, tanks, and other weapons with beautiful girls. Usually, they are beautiful girls wearing armor representing weaponry..."

Jarvis solemnly and seriously explained what Weapon Girls were to Tony Stark, and then...

"Halt, heretic! Judgment in the name of justice!"

"Die, normie! Filthy rich bastard! Take my spear!"

Their little boat of friendship capsized at once, and Tony and Rimuru immediately started fighting.

This was not a meaningless brawl. It was a battle of faith, a clash of paths!

Rimuru and Tony parted on bad terms, but it only strengthened Rimuru's resolve to keep improving Wind God until it evolved into a Weapon Girl.

Just then, a phone call completely stirred Rimuru's thoughts into motion.

The call was from a real estate agent named Jenny, and she brought Rimuru good news—the Villa had been found.

Ever since Rimuru and Tony completed their deal, she had specifically asked Pepper to keep an eye out for a suitable Villa.

Although she got along well with Tony Stark, constantly living under someone else's roof was not an option.

Jenny, meanwhile, was an elite agent Pepper had specially transferred from Stark's real estate company, and she was quite capable at her job.

After receiving Jenny's call, Rimuru immediately agreed to go view the property.

What Rimuru did not know was that every word of her conversation with Jenny was being monitored.

Upon learning that Rimuru was going to view a property, the agents who had been staking the place out for nearly half a month immediately grew excited.

After half a month, she was finally coming out!

Even Coulson, the team leader, was thrilled. He had issued a Military Order before the Director.

As the days passed and Rimuru continued to hole up in Tony's Villa, Coulson felt his Hairline creeping higher every day.

If Rimuru had not come out soon, he had even begun wondering whether his Hairline would eventually match Director Fury's.

Thankfully, God still favored him!

Coulson stared at the agents. "This mission can only succeed. Failure is not an option!"

"Yes, sir!"

It was no wonder the agents were brimming with confidence. They were all elite S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, usually tasked with the noble duty of silently protecting the world.

Taking action against a Little Girl was embarrassing enough to say aloud.

Agents might not be soldiers, but they had no right to question their mission!

Although the files showed that the little girl was quite skilled and might even know Kung Fu, who here did not know Kung Fu?

Several of them were Level 5 and Level 6 agents, while their leader, Coulson, was even a mysterious Level 8 agent.

It made the agents feel like they were using missiles to kill a mosquito. As for failure... tan90!
