Late at night.
Abel once again arrived in the world of black bullet.
As for the Weapons of the Gods...
It's pretty good, I must say.
However, it needs time to grow.
A robot that won't break, can repair itself, and can read enemy data and self-improve—given enough time, those weapons truly can kill gods.
Abel held the main unit in his hand.
All the other robots were sent to his elder brother.
"Hmm~ I'm back."
Abel stretched on the ruins.
Just then, the ground began to shake.
A gigantic Gastrea emerged from the earth.
It directly blocked the moonlight in the sky.
Abel frowned.
"Die!"
As Abel finished speaking, the Gastrea uncontrollably expanded and then exploded.
The scattered flesh and blood were blocked by a barrier.
Abel looked up at the moon.
"I wonder if the little ones have missed me."
With that, he lifted his foot, and in an instant, Abel arrived at the fantasy castle.
Standing at the entrance, listening to the laughter inside, Abel couldn't help but smile.
Abel gently pushed open the door, and the lively scene inside immediately came into view.
There were more and more children.
It seemed most of the children from the surrounding area had been brought back by them.
Hiruko Kohina was asking the Butterfly sisters for advice on kendo, and the three of them were laughing happily; Aihara Enju was happily eating ice cream; Sona and Rias were happily playing with the children.
However, what caught Abel's attention was Yukino Yukinoshita hugging a cat-eared loli closely.
Haruno was smiling dotingly nearby.
Watching this scene, Abel smiled and shook his head.
"Everyone, I'm back!!"
Everyone in the room heard the voice and turned their heads in unison.
"Oni-chan!"
The moment Hiruko Kohina saw Abel, she immediately dropped what she was holding and pounced on him.
Aihara Enju looked at Abel, tilting her head.
Is this the big brother who protects everyone?
All the children Abel had saved earlier rushed over.
He was tackled again.
The children lay on Abel, laughing heartily.
Abel was pressed down by the children but wasn't annoyed; he smiled, patting one's head and pinching another's cheek.
The other children who arrived later looked at him timidly.
They hadn't been there long.
And they had heard from the big sisters who saved them that there was a big brother who was the authority here.
Here, there was food and drink.
They didn't have to hide and sleep in the sewers anymore.
Everything here seemed like a dream.
And all of this was thanks to the big brother in front of them.
Perhaps this scene was very heartwarming.
The little lolis also wanted to go forward and hug this benefactor who had changed their lives.
Perhaps sensing the children's unease.
Abel sat up and opened his arms to them.
"Come here, little ones."
Surprise and longing flashed in the timid children's eyes, and they slowly moved their feet, as if testing, yet also as if mustering courage, one by one, they rushed into Abel's embrace.
Abel hugged them tightly, gently comforting them: "Don't be afraid, this will be your home from now on."
The children listened, and their faces broke into relieved smiles.
Then, their childlike nature showed through.
"Our best, best, best Oni-chan!"
Then they swarmed towards Abel.
Abel was thus submerged in a pile of lolis with a slightly perverted smile.
Rias and the others looked at this scene, all smiling knowingly.
This feeling isn't bad either.
Time passed bit by bit.
Abel, Rias, Sona, and his peerage sat together, watching the children play.
"It's good you're back. Then I'll leave this place to you~ After all, some children have been talking about you."
Sona and Rias stepped forward, saying with beaming smiles.
"Everyone, you've worked hard!"
Abel said with a smile, then looked at his peerage: "Thank you for your trouble during this time."
"Then, does Master have any gesture of appreciation?"
"Exactly, exactly, we deserve a reward!"
"Seconded."
"..."
Looking at his peerage, who were all making demands, Abel also smiled.
He spoils his peerage.
He also spoils his lolis.
Then Abel's gaze fell on the cat-eared loli that Yukino Yukinoshita was holding.
This little one looks a bit familiar.
And it seems something is missing.
A hat!
Abel's eyes lit up, and with a flick of his hand, he placed a magic hat on her little head.
That's more like it.
Isn't this Fuse Midori?
Huh?
Fuse Midori!
The cat-eared loli who likes to wear a wizard's hat.
Abel looked at her carefully.
It really is.
She's the loli who, in the original work, left a note saying, 'I don't want to be a burden, so I'm going to die. I leave the Tokyo Area to everyone,' and then shot herself under a tree.
At the time, it made his heart feel utterly cold.
But now, it's all good.
Following Yukino, who loves cats, is a good choice.
At least she won't go to the battlefield.
As for why she's here, of course, the timeline has advanced a bit.
After all, you, the readers, wouldn't want these lolis to be trained as weapons by the IIOS organization, would you?
Looking at the little one, Abel smiled.
"Little one, a welcome gift for you."
Fuse Midori looked at Abel, wiggling her nose.
The scent of destruction overlaid with hope.
Such a strange scent.
But the big brother in front of her is a good person.
"Th...thank you, Oni-chan."
Abel was pleased.
He smiled and ruffled the little one's head.
When Hiruko Kohina saw this.
"Oni-chan, I want some too~"
Abel smiled and patted Hiruko Kohina's head again, "Alright, alright, everyone gets some."
Aihara Enju stood to the side, crossing her arms and turning her head away, but her gaze was still on Abel.
She also wanted to experience it.
Abel noticed Aihara Enju's little gesture and smiled, waving at her, "Little one, come here."
Aihara Enju walked over shyly, and Abel gently patted her head, "What, you want a head pat too?"
Aihara Enju's face flushed, and she mumbled softly, "I...I didn't."
But the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
Busujima Saeko walked in.
She had a dozen children behind her.
"Saeko, you've worked hard."
Abel stood up and said with a smile.
Busujima Saeko looked at her Master, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.
She walked over and hugged Abel.
Feeling the familiar scent, she looked utterly content.
The children looked at the two curiously.
Why is Sister Busujima hugging this brother?
After a while, the two separated.
"How are things outside now?"
Busujima Saeko frowned at the question: "Things outside aren't good. Many children are still being taken by IIOS, and because of this, many children hide away after going into hiding."
Saying that, Busujima Saeko looked at the children behind her.
"I rescued these children from those guys' car."
(Brothers, my cousin is getting married tomorrow, and as the eldest brother, I definitely have to go, so I'm taking a leave.)
