Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 219 Let's do our best

St. Freya, Teachers' Office.

"Teacher Potio, how long of a leave did that kid Sora ask for from Teacher Welt?"

Because there were other teachers in the office, Himeko could only refer to Siegfried by his code name.

In Himeko's opinion, Sora's leave this time was a bit too long. Although he was supposed to be assisting Agent Welt on a mission, he was still a student! Unable to contact Sora, Himeko had no other choice but to ask Welt's "colleague," Siegfried.

"Well..."

Himeko's question made Siegfried stop playing with his twin pistols. He scratched his head and said nothing more.

I don't know, Brother Longma didn't explain clearly!

"You..."

Seeing that Siegfried seemed to know nothing about the matter, Himeko was speechless: Isn't the communication between you agents a bit too loose? This is not rigorous at all!

If Welt, a master of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting with exceptional skills, gave Himeko a "secret agency that doesn't exist in Schicksal" beauty filter, then Siegfried, a wanted criminal on the surface who can rival an S-class Valkyrie, shattered that filter—what exactly are the standards for our Schicksal's secret agents? It feels like she could do it too.

No, maybe not? Because it's said that these kinds of departments don't hire people who come to them; they just invite them out on their own...

"Let me say a few words, he's still a student, not a professional! No matter how many 'extracurricular activities' he has, they can't interfere with his studies! If you really want him to participate, can't you wait until he graduates and becomes a full-fledged Valkyrie? Can you please stop taking him on these kinds of 'activities' where we can't contact him all day? That kid hasn't done a single day of acting captain's work since he joined the company; Anna has been doing it all for him!"

"That's what I mean..."

From the next table came the listless voice of Maria, the school counselor.

She had insisted on coming here with Bai Ji precisely to spend time with him. That was her driving force as a teacher! But Theresa's arrangements and Qiong's behavior—far from that of a well-behaved child—not only ruined her chances of a teacher-student romance, but also made her feel like she was about to become an insignificant background character! Now, she was forced to conspire with two bad guys to become kidnappers, resolving the problem in the way she least wanted (and she was an accomplice; even if they captured her, it wouldn't be easy to abduct her, because she couldn't defeat the main culprit, Serim…).

This is not the ending she wanted!

"And those three children, they traveled thousands of miles from China to the Far East—"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Now that he and Theresa are the guardians of Kyō, the other teachers have every reason to question him. Seeing that Matsujiro was about to come in and torture him with Himeko, Siegfried decisively raised the white flag to avoid the two of them arguing.

"Don't worry, I'll go there in a couple of days and bring the child back!"

"So, Mr. Potio, what exactly did Sora do? You approved his leave slip, right? What was the reason? He's the student who misses the most classes, and he doesn't come to club activities either..."

Siegfried's lips twitched and he gave a dry laugh. Hadn't he already answered that question?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing."

Himeko slapped her forehead, suddenly remembering something very important.

"Mr. Portio, Kiana failed her physics exam. Bronya said Kiana was planning to hide the test paper with Mei..."

"This is difficult..."

A heavy stone weighed on Qiong's heart. For Qiong, who wanted to help this world, she now felt like Natasha Ciola inviting her to her newly built island villa for a vacation, or her idol, Kira Hoshino, dragging her to listen to her new album—a definite tragedy and torment!

Even he himself felt that the world was beyond saving. Because he wasn't Nuwa, and couldn't mend the sky.

According to Bio, the void in the sky is connected to the Sea of ​​Quanta, and soon the Quanta Shadows will be continuously refreshed. To resolve the crisis, the sky must be mended, but at present, Weiming City only has immature technology to break through the sky. How can the sky be mended?

Destruction is always much easier than construction. By the time they develop this kind of technology, Weiming City will be overgrown with weeds. It's beyond saving, beyond saving; this world needs…

"Brother Qiong, do you finally understand that the World Bubble Society is destined to be destroyed?"

Hei hope saw Qiong's dejected mood. At first, Qiong was stubborn and wouldn't turn back until she hit a wall. Later, she was so stubborn that she wouldn't listen to her advice. But after hearing the message from the blond man, Qiong's momentum collapsed.

"Seele, do you think hard work will always pay off?"

"Ok?"

Hei hope couldn't understand how Qiong had jumped to the topic of hard work.

"There should be, right? No, wait."

Hei hope sensed that something was wrong.

"You don't still want to save the world, do you?"

"Ugh……"

Qiong sighed, picked up the Flame Spear, and prepared to leave the research lab.

"Seele, though human strength has its limits, we—alas, White Calamity?"

"Danheng, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Qiong, Bai E, who was inexplicably there, was overjoyed and hurriedly went to greet her.

"Quickly, don't say anything more, come with me—"

"There's no time to explain Bai E, listen to me!"

The disaster has temporarily stopped, and Weiming City can breathe a sigh of relief. However, this is only temporary safety. They must find a way to stall Quantum Shadow and others until Bio and the others figure out a solution, or for Qiong to find a solution herself; otherwise, Weiming City will be destroyed in this disaster.

Give it a try; at least you've put in the effort, haven't you?

---------------

"Danheng, I just received news that a large number of the monsters that attacked us have appeared in the eastern part of the city! Are you really going?"

With Bai E's help, Qiong quickly obtained a working walkie-talkie and vehicle from the research institute, and now he was heading to the Weiming City.

"Nonsense! If I don't go, who will? Are we going to rely on Catherine, who can't even defeat a Quantum Shadow? Someone has to go and stop those Quantum Shadows!"

Upon receiving Qiong's resolute reply, Bai E's side suddenly became noisy, but in the end, Qiong only heard one sentence.

"Good luck."

"Thank you."

After hanging up the communication, Qiong tried to get Xier to move away from him—but he failed.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Xi'er in his arms made it impossible for him to see ahead, and her angry eyes also made Qiong feel... a little excited.

A girl is sitting in your lap, and her eyes are so... If the situation were a little better and he were a little more perverted, he would probably enjoy it.

"You really want to be a hero?"

"Because I'm a good person."

It was this unnamed city that highlighted the fully automated driverless technology; otherwise, even Qiong, who doesn't have a driver's license, would have difficulty getting on the road.

Even if the hope is slim, I cannot stand by and watch this world be destroyed—

"I'll say it again: what does this world have to do with you? You're not going to die without it, are you?"

"That's all for now, we've arrived."

A dense array of quantum shadows came into view. Without a word, Qiong got out of the car, put on her hat, and, with a gun and a club, abandoned Seele and plunged into the monster horde.

Wherever the hat-shaped flying star went, the quantum shadows dissipated; the flame spear blocked in front of him, and the enemy kept charging but could not advance an inch; although the baseball bat was not fatal, it could deform the limbs of the quantum shadows.

The quantum shadows surged forth like a relentless tide, growing ever more frenzied, while Qiong stood firm, blocking the way on the street.

He just wanted to do his best to buy the world a little more time, even if it was just a tiny bit.

No matter how I change it, I feel like I can't achieve my desired result...

Playing cards too much, and all your inspiration is going into deck building? Maybe try not playing cards tomorrow and see if that helps.
