Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 101 Vodka Girl, Makes a Dazzling Appearance! (Not really)

After a long period of recovery, Qiong finally went from trembling to being half-dead.

The others could also see that Sora was in a state of near-exhaustion. According to Bai Ji, most of the energy was actually being used on Sora herself. However, Sora was young and healthy, and she would be fine after a couple of days of rest. To help Sora recover as quickly as possible, the thoughtful Raiden Mei even prepared some extra delicious food.

"Mei's cooking still smells so good!"

"Idiot Kiana, control yourself! If you keep eating like this, Himeko-sensei and Sora won't get any food!"

“Qiong…”

"What's wrong, Himeko-neechan?"

"nothing."

Himeko hesitated, looking at Sora's state, she really couldn't bear to put her through this for something she herself didn't think was reliable.

Okay, never mind that, let's talk about something else.

"It's commendable that you risked offending the Bishop of Destiny to help others, but you still need to protect yourself first."

"Ms. Himeko Murata, if we encounter danger, will you protect yourself first before saving us?"

"Of course, how can you help others if you can't even protect yourself? It's our job as adults to get into conflicts with the highest levels of Destiny. As a student, you should try not to get involved."

"fraud……"

If things proceeded normally according to the timeline, Himeko, who was able to give Kiana her final lesson, would never have prioritized protecting herself, as she now claims.

"Speaking of which, why does Bishop Otto have such strong hostility towards Teacher Yae? Even though it has been confirmed that Teacher Yae is harmless, he is still hostile towards her."

"Well, how should I put it... the bishop is a real man."

other people:?

Qiong turned his head away and stopped explaining; in a sense, he could understand Otto.

Someone once said that you can't hide the look in someone's eyes when you want to kill them. Otto thought he was hiding it well, but when he was on the verge of losing control, everyone could still feel his pure hostility, or rather, disgust.

But Sora and Otto themselves knew that it was hatred. Not just hatred for Yae Sakura, but perhaps also mixed with regret for themselves.

No one paid attention to the physically weak and inventive Apocalypse family outcast, but Karen Kaslana appeared before him at this crucial moment. She understood Otto, praising his little airplane; she accompanied him, the two childhood sweethearts; she believed in Otto, and under her encouragement, Otto truly became a great inventor and even suppressed the Black Death…

Then, a pink-furred fox stole away his childhood sweetheart and fiancée, his beloved saint.

Not only did they steal it, but they also failed to take good care of it, and in the end, it got stabbed to death by a Honkai Beast.

With the death of Otto Vera, who was like an adopted daughter to him, Otto, the pure-love war god who transformed himself into a Soul Steel body, also abandoned his humanity and became completely perverted—except for Theresa.

"Alright, let's put this behind us. What we need to worry about now isn't Bishop Otto, but your Valkyrie armor design blueprints!"

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

"Lilia, report the situation!"

"Rosalia, everything is normal, no bad guys on patrol, Vodka Girl, infiltration was perfect!"

Two little devils, wearing hats to conceal their features, sneaked into St. Freya under the cover of night.

"Waaah, I never imagined that Bronya would be kidnapped by these bad guys for so long! Cocolia's mother was afraid we'd worry, so she wouldn't tell us!"

"Idiot Rosalia, be quiet! Although we should be very powerful, Cocolia's mother mentioned on the phone that this place is like a den of dragons and tigers!"

"Never mind, for Bronya, for Cocolia, and for the kids at the orphanage, let's go!"

Even though it was a life-or-death moment, the excited red-haired girl jumped up and shouted as if she wanted everyone to know, while the dead-eyed blue-haired girl next to her seemed to have no motivation at all.

"Rosalia..."

"Lilia, where do you think the bad guys would lock Bronya up? Come to think of it, this doesn't seem like a bad guy's house, it's not quite like the ones on TV."

"Uh...you're intruders?"

"You idiot Rosalia, we've been exposed!"

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

"Hello, this is Muryota... Ah—ah?"

Himeko hung up the phone, her expression extremely strange, and called out to Bronya, who was currently torturing Kiana-Sora's army in front of the game console.

"Bronya, do you know two people named Rosalia and Lilia?"

Ten minutes later, in the solitary confinement room.

"Tell me, where did you hide Bronya?!"

"Rosalia, we are prisoners now..."

"Um, hello? Bronya is fine, she'll be here in a bit."

The Valkyrie teacher on night patrol easily captured the Vodka girl. After the girl yelled, "Release Bronya!" the teacher called Himeko. After Bronya said she knew her and that she was a friend from the orphanage, Himeko planned to send someone to scout the situation. Himeko initially wanted Theresa to go, but upon seeing the half-dead Sora, she volunteered instead. Sora was then given the task.

Of course, lie detectors and remote monitoring are indispensable in the solitary confinement cells.

"Let me introduce myself first. I'm Qiong, a friend of your sister Bronya. What are your names? Where are you from? And what are those tails and horns?"

I can understand the other things about Sora, but shouldn't the Vodka Girl have changed like this after the Great Collapse of Destiny?

"Should we tell them or not?"

"Lilia, we can talk about it, but not the crucial points, and we absolutely cannot betray Mom!"

After exchanging glances, the Arlene sisters didn't take the two children's night patrol teacher too seriously. If it weren't for their unusual appearance, they wouldn't even have been sent to the solitary confinement room, let alone interrogated separately...

“My name is Rosalia Arlene, and this is my sister Lilia.”

"We've lived in an orphanage since we can remember, and we don't even know where we came from."

At Himeko's house, the communication signal was relayed to the television, where everyone was watching a live broadcast of Sora "interrogating" the twins.

"It's definitely Rosalia and Lilia, but how did they end up like this?"

"Don't rush, keep watching, Bronya."

So far, everything's been on green. Of course, Sora didn't originally intend to interrogate the two of them; she just thought the Vodka Girl was "fun" and came to check it out—chatting with the Vodka Girl would allow her to learn about the changes in the world line and have some fun, which was much more interesting than getting beaten up by Bronya with Kiana.

“In Siberia, we and our sisters lived very happily every day—”

"Rosalia, you've revealed the location of the orphanage!"

Qiong: ...

Siberia is so vast, you probably wouldn't be able to find it anywhere else.

"Although we sometimes have minor disagreements, like Xing sometimes trying to bully us, overall we are still good friends!"

Aren't these two kids being a bit too argumentative? Why don't they get to the point at all?

I really want to hear Gemini tell a joke, but there are people watching on the other side of the camera! Let's ask something more useful instead.

But Lilia didn't give Sora that chance.

“We once thought this happy life would last forever, but one day, some children in the orphanage suddenly disappeared…”

Hearing this, everyone perked up.

"The child suddenly disappeared?"

Could it be Cocolia's X-10 experiment? Sora guessed.

"First Sophia, then Isabella, Nina... they've all disappeared."

"That's outrageous!"

Kiana slammed her fist against Himeko's coffee table.

"That Cocolia is so wicked! She actually used so many children as experimental subjects?!"

Himeko frowned. If that were really the case, and Cocolia had even sent two children to infiltrate St. Freya, she deserved the death penalty.

"They've all gone to school."

Kiana & Himeko: ?

"Later on, fewer and fewer playmates remained at the orphanage. But we still had our mother, a beautiful woman like a porcelain doll..."

On second thought, Sora realized that Cocolia was indeed quite beautiful...

"Stop, stop, stop! Qiong, interrupt them! They're bringing up Siberia now, ask some important questions!"

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

"Can you tell me the key points?"

Qiong was a little helpless. To be honest, he really wanted to listen to crosstalk.

After all, the Arlene sisters are more senior than the duo of Ying and Paimon, and their voices are truly pleasant to listen to.

Unfortunately, I have a mission to complete.

"These are all necessary setups, setups! Don't you understand the art of performance, you gray-haired audience member!"

When did he become a spectator? No, we must regain the initiative. It's interrogation time!

"Have you guys heard of the X-10 experiment? Can you talk about it?"

“Of course! Lilia, let’s go together!”

Lilia chose to remain silent.

Bronya, far away at Himeko's house, also fell silent.

Qiong actually knows about the X-10 experiment? That's a top-secret project of Anti-Entropy. What else is there that he doesn't know?
