Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 15 Master, please accept my bow!

"Little Grey, those last two blows of yours were meant to hit someone, weren't they?"

"Isn't this obvious?"

Anyway, those thugs are no good, so this is a way to vent the anger of those who were bullied by them.

After beating up the thugs, the first day after the transmigrator Qiong's transmigration came to a perfect end!

"By the way, Miss Rita, what are your plans for dealing with these two things?"

"Don't worry, Miss Kiana, we will handle it properly, including eradicating the source of the drug. It's our duty."

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

"Mission report complete, Your Excellency."

Bishop Otto Apocalypse, who had been listening attentively, smiled slightly.

"That's interesting, Rita. That 'fake' apprentice has actually crossed paths with K423."

So, should we combine the two plans?

Since both plans need to be implemented anyway, mixing them together isn't a big problem.

“Rita, the mission has changed: Do not bring Mr. Qiong back to Schicksal headquarters now.”

"Your Excellency, do you want Rita to abandon the mission?"

According to Otto's previous description, once Sora goes out of control, her destructive power may be comparable to that of an S-class Valkyrie. Therefore, Otto specifically requested that missions be carried out with the utmost gentleness and that no force be used to demonstrate malice and provoke the other side.

But now Otto's new order means to leave an unstable factor alone? Even someone as loyal as Rita has some doubts, and if she remembers correctly, isn't bringing Qiong back part of Otto's deal with Baiji and the others?

She had planned to bring the person back to the Destiny headquarters at daybreak, but at this crucial moment, she changed her plans...

“No, no, no, Rita, it’s not about giving up, it’s about changing. I’m giving you another task now: go to the Far East branch and tell my precious granddaughter and that Dr. White about K423 and Sora, but whatever you do, don’t send them there directly. Oh, and remember to say hello to me and my dear Theresa.”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"Hurry, Rita, the faster the better."

After ending the communication, Otto picked up his wine glass.

Could it be a snake?

Taking a sip of red wine, Otto looked at the reports sent by Arvit and Rita one after the other and muttered to himself.

Otto was certain that the potion wasn't produced by Schicksal, because given his control over Schicksal, no one could possibly produce such a drug without his notice. It was also unlikely to be Anti-Entropy; Anti-Entropy's current activities were either mecha development or making money in the entertainment industry—he still remembered that about eight years ago, Anti-Entropy shamelessly plagiarized the character "King of the Void" from one of his games, *Kallen Fantasy*—oh wait, he misremembered, their anime character was "Emperor of the Void," and they didn't infringe on his copyright, so they withdrew the lawsuit… *cough* Anyway, given Anti-Entropy's modus operandi and management style, it was highly improbable that some petty thugs would obtain contraband.

Putting aside the internal divisions within Anti-Entropy and the low-probability possibility that a small organization's workshop accidentally produced a drug, Otto turned his attention to that mysterious snake.

Perhaps it's a snake lurking in the shadows? So, should we send more people to Rita?

No, it's not certain yet. Even if it really is that snake, it shouldn't give itself away just because of a few small doses of medicine. Let Rita handle it herself for now...

The following day, Changkong City.

"What? Rita's gone?"

"Yes, Lady Rita has another mission. From now on, I will be in charge of Young Master Qiong. Also, we will not leave Changkong City for the time being."

The gray-haired star core spirit and the white-haired ball had no idea what had happened after they parted ways with Rita. They only learned that Rita was gone when Alvette came to their door the next day.

However, Arvit wasn't in much better shape. Rita announced last night that the mission had changed; she had a new task: not to bring Sora back to headquarters, but to protect her instead. Rita herself was going to carry out a mission elsewhere.

To be honest, Aluvert's mind was in a quantum superposition of "Yay, paid vacation!" and "Vice-captain, this isn't right!" Being able to slack off with pay was naturally a good thing, but as a member of the Undying Blade and arguably the next Destiny King, slacking off with pay made her feel a little guilty—she wanted Rita to give her a vacation, but not before the mission was over! Therefore, the next morning, Aluvert, who was dedicated to her duties and determined to compete for second place in the next Destiny King competition, began her work: going to find Sora and providing close protection—that shouldn't count as slacking off, right?

Aylvit's arrival at this time also had another consideration: Kiana and Asakura Miyuki had to go to school and didn't have time to talk to Aylvit in detail. To avoid suspicion, Sora couldn't stay at the Asakura house for a long time without her master, could she? And Officer Ayasato obviously assumed that Rita and Aylvit were his family, so she naturally wouldn't take him in. Penniless, he only had one place to go: Aylvit's temporary base.

Because it was a classified mission, the two didn't contact the local Far East branch, entered the country via the EOS, and stayed at the same hotel that Arvit had booked that morning. But this one clearly wouldn't skimp on herself; she figured she could just send the bill to Rita later, and she'd get reimbursed by the great Bishop Otto.

"Um……"

Sorrowfully scratching her head, she looked at Alvitt, who was also somewhat uncomfortable.

"what……"

Oh no, I don't know what to say. How about something more meaningful?

"Miss Alvitt, your heroic rescue last night was absolutely amazing! I wish I had your skills."

Upon hearing Sora's praise, Alvitt, who had been somewhat uncomfortable, instantly beamed with joy.

"Oh dear, I'm not as good as you say... You can do it too if you practice more!"

This is a lie.

Most men cannot be exposed to Honkai energy. If Aylvit, who is adapted to Honkai energy, were to really do it, most men could not do what she does. No matter how much training they do with ordinary methods, it would be useless.

However, encouraging a handsome guy who looks no younger than yourself to exercise is obviously not a bad thing right now.

As expected, Qiong smiled slightly. Sure enough, Aylvit is the type who likes to hear compliments, and her personality is quite nice, making her perfect for taking advantage of…

"Therefore... Master, please accept my bow!"

Arvit: ?

Don't get me wrong, if there weren't other experts like the Immortal, Qiong wouldn't want to study under a Valkyrie who was still a B-rank Valkyrie even after the Great Collapse... If it were later, she would rather find Susana, or even Helia, since Helia is at least an A-rank...

Honkai Impact 3rd is collaborating with Honkai Impact 3rd's Starry Sky Railway... Is it really me collaborating with myself? Now it seems like Honkai is still chasing me... Given the online activity level of the Starry Sky Railway copywriting team, I wonder how many memes will be used to torment Old Yang...

In the last collaboration, Honkai energy was more useful than elemental energy for Master Chrono and Princess Judgment. This time, imaginary energy... should be more useful than Honkai energy, right?
