The kind where it's a matter of life and death.

-------------------------------------
The next day.
The rain has stopped yesterday, and the sky is clear as usual today.
"...Big brother Mahiro, I want to eat that..."
Sitting on the bench, Tina pointed to the takoyaki stall not far away, clearly expressing her desire.
She looked almost exactly the same as she had a couple of days ago, still dazed and half-asleep, but she was wearing the same light blue dress she had worn the night before.
Her slender arms were covered with long silk sleeves, and she wore high heels that were inappropriate for her age.
She looked like she had dressed up carefully, but the hairband on her forehead was crooked, making her look even more adorable.
"Yes Yes."
After admiring it for a while, Mahiro got up and bought a takoyaki from the vendor, handing it to her.
"Miss Tina, do you remember we were enemies?"
"...I remember."
"Do you still remember the life-or-death situation we agreed on tonight?"
"...I remember."
"So you're still begging for food from your mortal enemy? Aren't you afraid I'll poison you?"
"...What does it matter...Tina is just Tina now, and big brother Mahiro wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, this is precious food that I got from big brother, so Tina will definitely cherish it and eat it...Ah, it's fallen."
Tina rubbed her sleepy eyes and squinted happily when she saw the takoyaki.
Before the words were even finished, the takoyaki that had just been skewered slipped off the stick and fell to the ground.
You promised you'd cherish and eat them!
Mahiro was too lazy to complain anymore.
Tina looked longingly at the now-dirty takoyaki and said, "...What a pity..."
Judging from her posture, it seemed like she was about to squat down and pick it up from the ground to eat.
Makoto quickly stopped her.
"Never mind, it's gone. If you want to eat some more, I'll buy you another box. There's no need to pick it up from the ground."
"But... Waaah... It's not my fault. The takoyaki kept escaping from my mouth. It's very likely that the octopus inside was still alive."
"Yes, yes, the octopuses inside have been cut into small pieces and heated at high temperatures to keep them alive... But I'm an expert at catching octopuses, so let me feed you."
Although he spoke these words almost as if they were read aloud, they still moved Tina, who looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"As expected... Mahiro-nii-san is a savior hero, he's so kind..."
She said this, but the takoyaki box in her hand had already been handed to him, and she had opened her mouth wide, waiting to be fed.
"hehe."
Mahiro couldn't help but smile, picked up a bamboo skewer, pierced one from the box, and stuffed it into Tina's mouth.
Tina, on the other hand, was happily chewing.
Looking at her now, it's impossible to connect her with that cold-blooded assassin.
Yes, she was forced into it; she was actually just a ten-year-old child.
"Big brother Zhenxun, please give me another one! I want more."
Like a fledgling bird waiting to be fed, Tina closed her eyes, leaned her body slightly forward toward him, and opened her mouth.
"Yes Yes."
Mahiro fed the remaining few pieces in the box to Tina, and each time Tina ate them, she emitted a blissful aura that could heal the human heart.
She is indeed a very cute child.
"Are you full? If not, I'll go buy you another box." He found that feeding them seemed to be an interesting thing.
“No…” Tina shook her head, a slight smile on her face, “This is already very satisfying.”
"Ok."
Makoto took out a handkerchief and wiped Tina's mouth clean.
She raised her eyes and looked at Makoto, his figure reflected in her clear pupils.
"I... I really like Masahiro-nii-san."
"Like? Like a younger sister like a older brother?"
"No, it's the kind of feeling a girl has for a boy."
Faced with Makoto's doubts, Tina shook her head, her hands slightly clenched in front of her chest, as if in prayer.
"This is the first time in my life I have been treated so gently and helped so many times, so even if we are enemies... I still like you, Mr. Mahiro."
"Stop fooling around, you're only ten years old, do you even know what it means for a girl to like a boy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mahiro suddenly felt a soft, warm touch on his face.
Tina suddenly stood up from the bench, put her hands slightly behind her back, and tried her best to speak to him:
"...Of course I understand, that's proof."
Chapter 83 Goo, Kill Me
Are all American kids this open-minded?
This question lingered in his mind. He played with Tina in the fountain and wandered around many places until dusk, when the twilight hour arrived.
The terminator acts as a dividing line between yin and yang, perfectly separating dusk from night.
"It's about time. Have you decided to stay here?"
Shinji looked around, and Tina led him to the outer area, to an abandoned factory on the outskirts.
The environment is quiet and peaceful, and there will be no one to disturb you, making it a very suitable place for burial.
At this moment, the sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, and night was falling.
Tina's owl factor fully awakened, and all her mental will was awakened from the chaos. Her pupils gradually turned crimson, and even her voice became colder.
"...There's still some distance to go."
That's what she said, and Mahiro replied dismissively, "Is that so?"
However, it was precisely this casual attitude that filled the girl's heart with grief and sorrow.
Is this man an idiot?
They just swaggered in here with me like this, aren't they afraid of some kind of trap? Aren't they afraid there are landmines or pre-planted bombs ahead?
Aren't you afraid of being ambushed and killed by yourself?!
This unconditional trust caused Tina even more heartache, like a tearing pain.
In the bright moonlight cast from the sky, Tina felt as if her body and soul were being burned away by that pure light.
How filthy I am!
But... this is fine.
That's enough.
"Thank you, Mr. Mahiro. Even though we are enemies, you still indulge my little whims without hesitation. Thank you so much... for treating me so kindly."
In the open space in the center of the factory, Tina finally stopped, turned around gracefully, her skirt fluttering like a dancing butterfly, and put her hands behind her back, trying her best to show a perfect smile.
Unfortunately, the overwhelming sadness in her heart and the tragedy she was about to face made her smile less than beautiful.
"Are you ready?"
"Ah."
Tina nodded slightly, understanding that their relationship had come to an end.
The girl took deep breaths repeatedly, inhaling the cold night air into her lungs, as if she wanted to expel all her emotions, suppressing that cherished feeling and memory in a corner of her heart.
Then she slowly exhaled, and Tina opened her tightly closed eyes again. All emotion in her eyes had been erased, leaving them cold and resolute.
She was ready for battle.
"I am the owl-type Initiator ranked ninety-eighth in the IP rankings, codenamed 'Black Wind,' and also the mechanical soldier from the 'NEXT' series—Tina Spoon. Although I'm not particularly skilled at it, this time I will settle things with you through positional warfare...!"
A powerful declaration of war.
Immediately afterwards, she gently lifted her skirt, and three small mechanical spheres, each the size of a fist, fell from under her skirt.
But the sphere did not land; instead, it floated slowly against gravity, tracing a geometric flight path around Tina.
That's the Senfield, a small, thought-driven reconnaissance machine operated by a chip implanted in its brain.
It looks a lot like that little girl named Hummingbird, but its functions are completely different.
"Well then, let me introduce myself as well."
Mahiro's expression calmed down, and he introduced himself in the same way as Tina.
"I am the Promoter ranked 134th in IP, codenamed 'Zodiac Killer,' a Adjustment Magician from 'The Fourth Research Institute'—Yotsuba Mahiro."
Let's put an end to this, Tina.
"..."
A cool night breeze gently blew between the two of them.
Tina gazed at him, her eyes deep and unsettling.
From the conversation just now, Tina gleaned a lot of information that her master hadn't mentioned.
For example, "The Fourth Research Institute" and the Adjustment Body Mage.
This seems different from the concept of mechanical soldiers, and I've never heard of this research institute before...
But it doesn't matter anymore.
Tina dismissed the irrelevant information from her mind, her pupils suddenly glowing with an even brighter red light, and she abruptly flipped backward!
This action was like a signal flare for war, suddenly flashing a momentary light from all four sides of the dark building.
The atmosphere vibrated slightly, and his eyes clearly caught the projectile that was tearing through the air.
Not just from one direction, but from all directions, thirty-six flashing points completely blocked all his movement points.
And the bullets kept coming in one after another.
The rotary machine gun mounted at the window, constantly spraying out bright yellow metal shell casings, and the rapidly spinning barrel—it was clearly a Vulcan M61 aircraft cannon!
So this is what they call positional warfare?
In less than 0.01 seconds of thought, a bright aura of thought enveloped him.
The bullets that whistled through the air were all completely disintegrated within a meter of him, appearing on the surface like ripples created by countless pebbles being thrown into a lake.
Strangely, none of the bullets landed on his hands or feet; none of them had a fatal point.
Or perhaps they land around him, forming a cage-like confinement.
Do you still want to capture him alive under these circumstances?
still....
Mahiro suppressed the useless thoughts in his head, then took out the CAD and pulled the trigger, aiming at the flashing points.
"Frozen Fire"
Cut! Cut!
It was as if the gun barrel had jammed; one second it was spinning, and the next it was forcibly stopped.
The electrically powered machine guns all became inoperable in an instant.
