Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 33 Failed Negotiations

"Uncle Yang, I understand what you mean. I have nothing to say, but no matter what, I absolutely believe in Sister Himeko and Uncle Yang."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you know? Besides, didn't I, the headmaster, know you much longer than those two? Why don't you mention me?"

Theresa glared angrily at Qiong, her left hand stroking the Oath of Judah behind her, as if she would show Qiong how many uses of Judah were if Qiong didn't give a reasonable explanation.

She blurted it out too quickly, how is she going to explain it now? She can't exactly say that compared to Theresa, a fifty-year-old girl who hasn't even matured yet, Himeko and Old Yang are not only more reliable, but are also her seniors in another world, can she?

Of course that's impossible. Would you tell Theresa that she's not a "reliable adult" and want to be cracked open by Judas?

"It's very simple, because we are adults who can be absolutely trusted."

Himeko proudly puffed out her massive frontal armor.

"An adult you can absolutely trust? Isn't this headmaster herself...?"

Theresa suddenly realized, "This is where the problem lies?"

Calm down, stay calm. The other person might be a Herrscher. Who knows what might happen if I vent my anger on them...

"Theresa, I think he's talking about height. Who told you to be so petite and cute?"

Himeko Murata broke through the last layer of the window, after all, Theresa was sitting in her headmaster's office chair, and if she didn't adjust it, apart from the white hair on the top of her head, nothing else could be seen at all!

"Himeko! You talkative bomb girl! You didn't have to say that!"

"Gentlemen, calm down, calm down. This is not the time to talk about this."

……

"The result wasn't bad."

Although there were some minor setbacks, Sora's extremely cooperative attitude and the "positive feedback" she received after Welt's aggressive probing led Theresa to initially conclude that Sora was harmless and cooperative, which relieved her somewhat, at least she hadn't brought back a great demon king who could transform into a world-destroying monster at any moment.

"Sora, the headmaster has a pretty good understanding of your situation, but could you please discuss something else with me?"

If Sora absolutely trusts Himeko and Welt, then she'll be the only one left to play the villain.

"Headmaster, please speak."

Qiong believed that with Lao Yang's cooperation, her answer was watertight. She hadn't been able to explain clearly what she should and shouldn't have said. Her main point was to show a positive attitude and leave a good impression.

We'll discuss the specifics of what to say next with Lao Yang.

“I can see that you are a good kid with a strong sense of justice. You stepped forward to save people and even got involved in things that had nothing to do with you. The headmaster approves of you a lot... But that thing on your chest is too dangerous.”

As Theresa spoke, she poked Qiong's chest. In a sense, she was right. Star Cores were indeed quite dangerous, and the train crews encountered Star Cores and Star Core Hunters almost everywhere they went—although the latter didn't seem to go there entirely because of the former.

"Did you know? Fourteen years ago, there was someone similar to you. She also had this thing, and in the end, she caused the deaths of three thousand people in Siberia, with countless others injured. This was the result of countless Valkyries fighting desperately..."

As for the second Honkai, Qiong only has a superficial understanding of it, but Lao Yang knows it very well.

If it weren't for Otto, that old fox, during that battle, when he first fought Sirin, he almost single-handedly killed her, who had only recently become a Herrscher. Unfortunately, at the last and most crucial moment, Otto intervened and stopped him, allowing Sirin to escape successfully and nearly killing him in the process… Sirin received a boost while fleeing to the moon and then launched a meteorite attack on Earth, causing numerous casualties. In the end, he was forced to drag Siegfried to the moon on the "Alahato"... It's all tears when you think about it.

All my words can be summed up in one sentence: Otto, you deserve to die a horrible death!

"So, although I really hate to say this, Qiong, I want to perform a small surgery on you, to implant a small bomb next to your heart..."

Can I refuse?

"Forehead……"

Theresa, feeling embarrassed, glanced away to avoid meeting Qiong's gaze. Who wouldn't be willing to have a bomb inserted into someone's body when they haven't done anything wrong?

But without planting bombs, who can stop the potentially rampaging Qiong?

"I'm sorry, I refuse."

Being stuffed with a bomb? Sorry, he wouldn't want that. He could understand Theresa's thoughts, after all, no one wants to be in the same room as a bomb, but his understanding doesn't mean he would. Just because Mei was stuffed with a bomb and was fine doesn't mean Star Core Spirit would be fine, right?

"Headmistress Theresa, I understand what you mean. If this place can't accommodate me, please let me leave."

It's good to leave St. Freya Academy. Anyway, I've already made contact with Old Yang. Would Uncle Yang harm me? Run, run, run, run, go to Anti-Entropy. Staying away from Otto will make it easier for me to interfere with the third collapse of Changkong City. Speaking of which, according to seniority, should I call those two Aunt Te and Aunt Ai?

"No, you can't leave!"

"Yes, you can't leave!"

Himeko, who was sitting, suddenly stood up, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward close to the sky, and looked very imposing.

Hmm, what a huge frontal armor—but unfortunately, he doesn't care, he doesn't care, he does care...

Ahem, that's not the point.

In any case, Theresa and Himeko have reached a consensus: Sora cannot leave.

At the Far East branch, Sora can still be kept under surveillance and protected, and he has already expressed "absolute trust" in Himeko and Welt. Furthermore, Baiji is his family member, so at least he can be appeased. If he's allowed to roam freely, what if he explodes somewhere in the world? How many people would die then?

"Gentlemen, calm down! We're here to negotiate, not to resort to violence!"

Just as Lao Yang was trying to calm the two people who were agitated by Qiong's words "Then I'll leave," the door was opened.

"Under no circumstances will I allow my disciple to be threatened in this way."

Behind Baiji were Alvitt and the sparrow.

“Ms. Maria, Ms. Alvette, why didn’t you stop Ms. Bai? Ms. Bai, we’re still negotiating, and we haven’t reached a conclusion yet!”

"Hahaha..."

Arvit couldn't very well say that she tripped over a sparrow while trying to stop Baiji from going in, and then the sparrow accidentally fell on top of her...

That's so embarrassing!

"Headmaster, we wanted to too, but Teacher Bai was so eager to save his student that his aura directly intimidated us and this young lady, which is why the door was opened. It was truly an accident, an accident."

But it's pointless to assign blame now; the negotiations have reached a stalemate: Qiong doesn't want to be bombed, his family doesn't agree, and now that Qiong is asking him to leave Theresa, she can't accept it either. If they continue talking, it's estimated that the parties won't reach a conclusion.

"Ugh……"

Theresa felt that after this negotiation, several strands of her hair would turn white—even though she already had white hair.

In the end how to do?

"Everyone..."

"I speak timidly," said Alvette.

"How about we report this to His Excellency the Bishop? Everyone trusts Bishop Otto, right?"

Old Yang: I don't trust him at all!

"Grandpa..."

Apart from Lao Yangqiong and Song Que, everyone else seemed to agree with the idea.

Bishop of Destiny, it's time for you to play your proper role!
