Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 123 Willing to Take the Bait

In Bronya's eyes, Raiden Mei's enthusiasm has greatly decreased since they got together. Unless Bronya asks Raiden Mei for advice on how to deal with Sora, Raiden Mei would rather just smile foolishly at the one-handed sword that Sora lent her in Sora City and hasn't returned it yet than do anything else.

While Bronya did find out that being in love lowers one's IQ, isn't Raiden Mei's decrease a bit too extreme?

It's one thing to be mentally deficient, but why is there a sign that they won't listen to advice...?

"Mei-neechan, now you need to strengthen your relationship with Sora. It would be best to go out on a date, go shopping, and watch a movie. Bronya will leave the door open for you tonight."

But Raiden Mei chose to refuse.

Bronya was puzzled and asked why.

Raiden Mei smiled gently: "Bronya, I know you mean well, but going out costs money. I can't squander the stipend the headmaster gives me. Being thrifty is what I should do. Besides, I don't think we need to deliberately create opportunities to spend time together. A relationship that develops naturally is more meaningful."

Bronya's eyes widened upon hearing this, and she nodded as if she understood but not quite.

She couldn't understand it, but she was deeply moved.

Well, she'd already done all she could. As long as some childhood sweetheart or future girlfriend didn't suddenly appear out of nowhere, this was enough for now. She also had her own things to do: to get information about Seele out of Qiong!

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

"Duoduo, is this really okay?"

At this very moment, Serapem and Donigor were hiding in the grove of trees next to the school building.

Donigor dismissed Serapem's criticisms.

"Hmph, do you think I don't know him? Trust me, you won't go wrong. As long as you fall down and cry a couple of times before he gets here, I guarantee that kid will come running over like the wind and hug you in his arms!"

"But I saw it on the new TV that Sister Se bought. That's wrong! People who deliberately fall down are scammers trying to extort money. Will Brother Qiong be angry...?"

Donegal was a little annoyed; the little girl had been questioning its plans the whole way, nagging on and on, which was incredibly annoying.

"Oh, why think so much? Are we bad guys who scam people and stage accidents? We're good people, good people! Besides, aren't we doing this for his own good? Don't you think that's right?"

"All right……"

Donegal believed that the plan had only one problem: the possibility of too many people. If the timing was wrong, and some troublesome hothead came along and snatched away the fallen Sera, then all the preparations would have been in vain.

However, if a pine bird reports the location, the probability of something going wrong is greatly reduced.

"Watch out, he's coming!"

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

What's going on with this sparrow?

Qiong didn't believe that the sparrow was just trying to catch him during class—she thought she had concealed it well, but she let something slip: he had seen the sparrow as soon as she entered the restroom! Why would a female teacher linger at the restroom entrance for so long? He just didn't mention it, not wanting to make things awkward for everyone…

Although he was still puzzled by Matsujiro's actions, Sora decided to put it aside for now, since the current situation was quite troublesome: Raiden Mei was feeling better, but how was Kiana to appease her? Given his current strained relationship with Kiana, unless he announced his breakup with Mei, there was no way to salvage the situation.

"It hurts so much!"

A little girl suddenly appeared on his way back to the classroom.

"It hurts so much! Is there any kind older brother who can help me up?"

Qiong & Donegal: ...

Could your acting get any worse?

Donigor couldn't help but cover his eyes with his little wings; he had to admit that he had miscalculated.

This "combination" technique of Serapham doesn't know how to lie at all! Anyone who isn't blind can see that her stiff movements and flat tone have nothing to do with being injured!

Qiong didn't rush over as Donigor had expected; after all, it was too unrealistic!

Donegal's heart was in his throat. If he failed again this time, the lamp would probably pluck all the fur off its back!

Kid, you're going to believe her just because of your brother's dog hair?

Looking at the little girl in front of him, Qiong stopped in her tracks with no choice.

"Little sister, are you alright?"

Even knowing it was a poor performance, my first thought was that it was like Jiang Ziya fishing—wait and see if the fish will bite…

Fine, I'll just be a fish for once.

Qiong crouched down to look Serapem in the eye, trying his best to look concerned. He really wanted to know if the Martians had collectively migrated to Earth.

"No, it's nothing..."

"Woof, woof, woof woof!"

After a few barks, Serapem realized what was happening and changed his story.

"Something's wrong! Something's wrong! My leg is injured, it hurts so much!"

Looking at Little Sera's legs and feet, Qiong didn't see a single wound.

Young lady, your professional skills are lacking!

Qiong sighed softly, but still reached out and helped Serapem up.

"Can you still walk?"

Seeing this, Donigor happily sharpened his claws.

That's great! I won't get my fur plucked when I get back!

"Can—cannot..."

Serapem blushed and her heart raced; she dared not meet Qiong's gaze.

He once said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and you can roughly tell whether someone is lying by looking into their eyes...

"Alright, alright, little sister, I'll take you to see the school doctor."

Serapem was very light, so light that Qiong held her in her arms with almost no effort. Little Serapem curled up in Qiong's arms.

"It's still that feeling, so comforting, it reminds me of my father..."

What are you talking about?

"Ah, no, no!"

Qiong picked up Serapem and headed towards the infirmary, then handed him to Bai Ji. He should know what to do, right?

"Little sister, my name is Qiong, what's your name?"

“Brother Qiong, my name is Serapem, everyone calls me Little Serapem…”

It's a success! It's finally a success!

If it had the ability to shed tears, perhaps it would shed tears of joy.

"Baiji, please pay attention! Baiji, please pay attention! They are on their way to you. Please reply upon receiving this!"

The excited Donegal didn't forget to immediately notify the others that his mission was complete and it was time to retreat!

"Look, isn't that Sora, a first-year student at our academy?"

"Who else could it be but him? Come to think of it, doesn't he already have a girlfriend? Who is that cute girl in his arms?"

Donegal: ...

Never mind, the gossipy passerby has nothing to do with the dog. It's fine as long as it leaves and didn't hear anything.

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

"Seriously, does it take Qiong that long to go to the toilet?"

Raiden Mei complained that her boyfriend was being too slow, and that the precious time before the end of get out of class was about to be over.

But it wasn't due to the speed of the Dome, Bronya concluded.

It was because of Kiana Kaslana, who seemed to have lost her soul today. Although Kiana hadn't done anything, she would occasionally stare at Sora with... murderous intent? For some reason, Sora was genuinely afraid and avoided Kiana; he probably wouldn't be back until class started.

With nothing to do, Bronya naturally browsed her phone and forums, and then she saw the trending topic she had created for Domyouji and other people's new posts.

Shocking! The school's only male student was caught carrying his girlfriend while holding another girl in his arms! Is this a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?

Bronya: ?

Although she judged that there was a possibility of something like a plum falling from the sky hitting her, wasn't this speed a bit too fast?

I don't have time to read the whole article, I need to hurry and find Raiden Mei!

"Sister Mei, Sora is carrying a girl and heading that way!"

"what?!"

"He cheated on her, he must have cheated on her, right?"

Upon hearing this news, Kiana instantly regained her full strength.

"I knew it, that gray-haired guy was obviously..."

Kiana!
