Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 92 Oh no! We've lost our people!

"Rita, you're just going to visit the Far East Branch, why are you wearing the Valkyrie armor?"

Durandal was a little puzzled by the fact that her friend and adjutant was dressed in hunting attire? Shadow Iron.

From Durandal's perspective, this trip was merely a paid exchange and study trip to the Far East branch at the behest of Bishop Otto. Although she was reluctant, she couldn't say anything considering that Rita and Otto would also be going.

Why does Kelita need to bring equipment?

Rita knew that the purpose of this mission was not pure, but Otto said that Durandal couldn't hide any secrets on her face, and instructed Rita to keep it a secret from Durandal for the time being... So Rita could only make up an excuse.

"Lady Durandal, as the Undying Blades of Schicksal, we must always be on high alert, even when going out in special circumstances. In case of a Honkai outbreak somewhere, it would be too slow to resupply equipment from headquarters. Bringing equipment is just in case. Do you remember? One of our Valkyries from the Undying Blades was injured because she didn't bring her equipment and got involved in a sudden Honkai event!"

"Yes, you're right. I was inconsiderate."

The straightforward Durandal naturally accepted Rita's "lesson" and decided to bring some equipment with her next trip to avoid any accidents like her own Undying Blade's most useful tool.

"Don't worry, Lady Durandal. Your Dawn Glory Rita has already been prepared for you and is ready for use at any time."

As for why it wasn't the Black Abyss White Flower, it's because Otto took it for Durandal...

"Thank you, Rita."

“Headmaster, I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave us all at the gate to greet Durandal on this chilly spring morning.”

"Qiong, are you afraid of the cold?"

Qiong really wanted to complain about Theresa's unreliable plan. And with so little time left, you still want to rehearse? Go to sleep!

"This isn't a question of whether I'm afraid of the cold or not; it's a question of Durandal!"

"Little Grey, what happened to Durandal?"

Kiana found Durandal's beautiful photos online and felt that this Valkyrie, who was about the same age as her, was really cool.

And there seems to be a strange sense of familiarity about it?

"I've heard that Durandal, who wields the Undying Blade, is a straightforward person."

In other words, they are actually quite dull and don't really know how to be flexible.

"That's right, I've already experienced that firsthand!"

Theresa gave Qiong an approving look and looked forward to his constructive advice.

"That's why people like Durandal hate formalism the most. If we send a huge group to welcome her... well, there's an old saying in China: too much of a good thing is bad. In my opinion, such a grand display will only get us a scolding from her for neglecting our duties..."

"You're overthinking it, Little Gray. There's no such person in the world."

"That's right. Putting everything else aside, our headmistress is, after all, the granddaughter of Bishop Otto. Durandal can't possibly refuse to give her any face at all, can she?"

"Forehead……"

Himeko agreed with Kiana's statement, but then she saw Theresa's face frozen, and Theresa's little brain was having an extremely intense internal struggle.

On second thought, what Qiong said is very likely...

"Qiong-kun, what you said makes a lot of sense! The welcoming plan for tomorrow morning is canceled!"

Qiong nodded in satisfaction. That's more like it. This kind of trick won't work against Durandal!

"You have demonstrated your abilities, and I, the headmaster, am very satisfied! So you don't need to attend class tomorrow. You, Himeko-sensei—and Shiro-sensei—the three of you can go and greet Durandal! I won't be involved."

"Why me? I protest! I refuse! What kind of school principal does this?!"

"Protest dismissed, oh well, you've got too many ideas."

Theresa winked slyly.

If it were just Durandal, Theresa wouldn't mind greeting her herself, but there's also Rita! Qiong rejected the plan for multiple people to greet her, which meant that her "safety" was not guaranteed in front of Rita, so she could only delegate the task.

"Work hard, and the headmaster will give you the maximum number of credits this year!"

With a blank expression, Qiong really wanted to smash Theresa's face with a stick.

"My headmaster, have you forgotten that you've already maxed out my credits and GPA for this year?"

The paramecium, preoccupied with its grades, keenly caught this information.

"What?! Is that true? Little Gray, why should I!"

Guess!

"It seems like that's the case..."

Theresa scratched her head.

"How about this, you'll be in charge of reception tomorrow, and the headmaster will help you solve all the problems with the Valkyrie Armor, how about that?"

"Auntie, it seems that Teacher Walter has taken care of Little Gray's armor."

"It's Walter again... Next year, next year's credits! The headmaster has specially approved accumulating credits a year early, how about that?"

Is it really necessary to go to such lengths just to welcome Durandal? And with full credits this year and full credits next year, is she trying to graduate as quickly as possible?

"Auntie, I want one too! I want credits too... no, I want to see the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny!"

"Kiana, forget about it, just go back to class!"

"So, the conclusion of your discussion last night is that I and the two of you will wait here?"

"Yes, Teacher Bai, this seems to be the best solution at the moment."

The next morning, the three scoundrels appointed by Theresa were waiting at the gate, ready to see the three of them appear.

One hour later...

"Why aren't they here yet? Could Theresa have gotten the time wrong?"

"I don't think so..."

After a hesitant Sora spoke, Himeko suddenly realized something.

Bai Ji and Qiong stood on either side of her. Qiong seemed to be intentionally avoiding Bai Ji, and Bai Ji herself did not seem to want to get close to her.

It's been an hour! Aren't you supposed to be close family? Why are you either staring at your phones or spacing out? Give me a talking to, you bastards!

However, I only have a superficial understanding of reconciliation, so I might as well consult a professional.

Luofu Immortal Boat, Star Chariot Sea, a certain dock.

"Teacher Danheng, Miss Sanyue. Yanqing bids farewell and wishes you a speedy journey to find Teacher Qiong."

Thank you.

After Yanqing left, March 7th, unable to contain his chatter, started talking again.

"Sigh, where did such a big guy go? How come it's just the two of us left... General Jingyuan and General Huaiyan said they can't find him anywhere in Luofu... Could he have been eaten by Hulei? We're so worried!"

"March, don't overthink it. Once Himeko and Mr. Walter return, we'll find a way to locate him."

As the two were talking, one of them stepped into the Star Chariot Sea.

"Uncle Ji Ziyang, something terrible has happened—ah, it's the Grand Diviner..."

Half an hour later.

"Himeko-neechan, something terrible has happened! He's gone missing!"

"Well, I see."

Himeko's composure surprised both March Seven and Dan Heng.

"Sister Himeko, how can you be so calm? By the way, where is Uncle Yang?"

Where are the most experienced and reliable senior colleagues at times like this?

“This is the key little March, your Uncle Yang has also disappeared—he vanished into thin air right before my and Pam’s eyes.”
