Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 128 Never Get Close to Otto

Qiong listened to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, her face full of black lines.

Is there something wrong with Baiji? Why is he making him break up with Raiden Mei?

"If Mei finds out that Bai Ji is using his guardianship to oppose our relationship..."

There are probably two possibilities: one is that Raiden Mei is heartbroken and Kiana is overjoyed, and maybe in the middle of the night, while he's sleeping with his eyes closed, Raiden Mei will come into his room with a kitchen knife; the other is that the Raiden Queen goes berserk on the spot, and after destroying Himeko's house, she can't go any further because of the heart bomb...

But regardless, he would inevitably be branded as a Siegfried version of St. Freya, and at that point, he would definitely be labeled a "manipulative scumbag"...

Besides, Mei, who is so beautiful and gentle, is willing to be his girlfriend, he should be overjoyed. How could Bai Ji think he could break them up with just one sentence? No way! Even if Walter Yang or Theresa came in person, it wouldn't make a difference, let alone a mere Bai Ji!

Well then, I'll just pretend the signal is bad and I didn't hear it! Besides, didn't Song Que ask him to join a club after school? I'll make up some excuse that I'm busy or forgot, I'm not going! I want to see what these Martians are up to.

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

"Sister Songque, why isn't Brother Qiong here yet?"

"Little Sera, don't worry. It must be because Qiong didn't attend classes properly these past two weeks and was caught by the other teachers to make up for his homework! You agree, right, Master?"

"Yes, that's about it..."

After Song Que used various excuses to get the other divination club students to go home early, the three of them waited together in an activity room for someone who would never appear.

According to Songque's script, she would introduce some astrological knowledge to Qiong, and then introduce Serapem, who is next to her, as "the daughter of her father's aunt's nephew." Because her parents and brother all died in a car accident, leaving her alone with no other relatives, she was entrusted to Songque's care. With the initial investigation going poorly and being misled by the three, this special introduction of her tragic background becomes particularly important.

Then, the orphaned little Sera is diagnosed by Dr. Bai, who "happens to pass by," as suffering from mental trauma, psychological disorders, and PTSD. "Coincidentally," because Sora and her deceased brother look somewhat alike, Serapem clings to Sora, and Sora is the key to treating little Sera. Without his help, young Serapem might have difficulty recovering.

At that time, as long as Master Songque promises to give Sora a generous reward and Bai Ji persuades her, Little Sera can use this to "stick" to the kind-hearted Sora. If she is lucky, she might even be able to infiltrate Himeko's family!

Unlike the confident Song Que, Bai Ji was quite uneasy. After all, he had just become the bad guy, and Qiong would definitely not understand or even resent him. He had just made a phone call at noon to appease Serapem and make them break up. Now he was asking him to help take care of the child. Would anyone really agree to that?

Looking back now, that child always said, "If you have the chance to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it." His orders probably not only failed to persuade Qiong, but also had the opposite effect...

"He messaged me!"

Song Que excitedly took out her phone. Qiong probably can't find the activity room, right?

"Ms. Maria, Uncle Yang needs to see me, so I can't go today. I'm sorry."

The master and apprentice inside the room looked at each other in dismay; all their carefully planned schemes had come to nothing.

"Professor Yang! I hate you! Oh dear, the solution we finally came up with has been ruined by a weak academic!"

“Pine Sparrow, actually, Professor Walter…”

Bai Ji fell silent. At this point, it was pointless to defend Walter or to argue that he wasn't a weak academic. Their plan had failed before it even began.

"Is that Uncle Yang also one of the people who's trying to steal Qiong Gege from everyone else?"

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

"Uncle Yang, what is this?"

Using Lao Yang as a shield, Qiong naturally went to Walter's dormitory to hang out.

"Your Valkyrie armor design drawings are unfortunately scrapped."

"But it looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

Looking at the discarded design on the table, Qiong expressed her approval. The Sam-like propulsion system, the armor reminiscent of a Kamen Rider, and even his own flame spear—it didn't look bad at all. Just from this drawing, he felt the actual product wouldn't be too far off.

Old Yang was quite happy to see Qiong's stance.

"Tasteful! I even designed various moves for this exoskeleton power armor, ranging from the Knight Kick to the Flame Fist. According to my design, this armor is also fireproof, theft-proof, and lightning-proof! It's just a pity..."

Old Yang put away the Houmu comic he was drawing, revealing a helpless expression.

"Unfortunately, the experts didn't approve it."

Initially, Welt Young didn't intend to design it with a robotic feel, after all, Valkyrie armor is all about being lightweight. But after Sora made the request, Welt, who was on vacation in North America, thought it over and over and felt it was a real possibility, so he drew up a mechanical armor design that he thought was fantastic.

Then Little Coralie presented this design to Dr. Red and Blue.

They initially thought it was drawn by Coralie, and Einstein and Tesla even praised it. However, when Coralie revealed that the artist was Old Yang and that she genuinely intended to make it for people to use...

"Yang, this is not suitable for human use."

"Walter, have you even learned anything we taught you?!"

Even though Walter wanted to defend his design, the two doctors forced him to "rework" it. In Tesla's words, even if Nancy Edison, the heiress of General Electric who used to criticize her for researching weapons of mass destruction, were still alive and saw Walter's "garbage design," she would think he designed a toy for children rather than a Valkyrie armor to fight against the Honkai...

The fact that Tesla could bring out her deceased friend to reprimand Walter can only mean that she was genuinely angry—after seeing the design drawings, Tesla truly felt that all those years of teaching had been wasted.

In the end, Walter started revising the manuscript overnight, and with the intervention of Tesla and Einstein, he produced a result that left him both amused and exasperated.

That is, in the end, his own design was extremely similar to the uniform of Adam, a member of the third squad of New Destiny.

Why not just alter his clothes directly?

……

"In short, don't even think about Bronya's external cannon."

Walter patted Sora on the shoulder to comfort her—in his opinion, she had lost the opportunity to pilot a mech and needed some consolation; he would take her to try out Titan sometime in the future.

"Oh, right, Sora."

Walter's expression turned serious.

"Uncle Yang, Mei and I..."

"That matter is not important."

Qiong: ?

Qiong was somewhat surprised to see that Lao Yang was so open-minded.

"It's not appropriate for us adults to interfere in the affairs of you children—and of course, don't expect me to help you either. I was discussing things with Fu Hua in a bit of a rush and forgot to tell you."

Walter pushed up his glasses and used his power to make them reflect light.

"You've met Otto already, right? How did it go?"

"It looks pretty good, except for me—"

"Not good at all!"

When Otto was mentioned, the usually composed Walter became unusually excited.

"He's a madman, a sophisticated egoist willing to destroy the world for his own desires! Remember, never go near Otto!"

There was no way around it; Welt had learned a bloody lesson: his own father was stabbed to death by Otto; the previous Welt was killed by Otto using a Honkai energy fission bomb; Nancy died because of a failed experiment, but the cause of death was that some bastard had tampered with the data. Who did it? Otto Apocalypse!

Not to mention Dr. Schrödinger, who is still a quantum ghost because of Otto, and Tesla and Einstein, who almost died but were saved by the Black Abyss White Flower...

Oh right, Planck, the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal at the time, the user of the sixth divine key, the Black Abyss White Flower, said that the older sister named Leona was also killed by Otto that day.

"Um, Uncle Yang?"

Realizing he had overreacted, Walter toned it down a bit.

"In short, stay away from that man. Go back, and I'll... in a few days when the Valkyrie armor is finished..."

drop by drop...

Qiong's phone rang, and she answered it in front of Walter.

"Hello, Principal?"

Qiong casually pressed the record button. If it was someone trying to break up with him, he would record it!

"Qiong, you're from Shenzhou, right? Next week, Teacher Himeko can take a few students to Shenzhou for a trip!"

"Traveling to China? Principal, let me ask first, where are you going?"

"Since it's a trip to the beach, there are limited spots available, so sign up quickly!"
