Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 238 Is a Rainstorm Coming?

After class, before Sora could take action against the unpredictable Blackie, Mei and Bronya arrived at lightning speed and pulled Blackie away, leaving Sora, who had spent the entire class thinking of her lines, standing there.

However, this does not mean that Qiong Ergenzi is free from gossip. Gossipy women are everywhere, just like that smiling husky in front of us.

"Dead Gray Hair, you're not actually a lolicon, are you?"

"How could that be!"

Qiong resolutely denied Kiana's accusations: He is a human being with normal values, how could he have such a penchant for being condemned by thousands and cursed by everyone?

Paramecium, stop trying to pin this label on your brother Qiong!

"Kiana, you can't make statements without evidence."

Compared to Kiana's mindless labeling, Fu Hua was much more rational—but even as a celestial being, Qiong could sense that she had some doubts.

"Qiong-kun, do you know the new girl, Fulei?"

"She probably sees me as her older brother, right?"

If it's Hei hope, maybe she's using herself as a blood bank?

"Oh, I see. So, you've taken on another little sister, you dead gray hair?"

It was as if a yellow light bulb lit up above Kiana's head.

"First, you should have Bronya call you Qiong-gege (Brother Qiong)."

"Doesn't she also call Mei-neechan?"

Kiana didn't care about any of that; she just started counting on her fingers.

"And that time you made me apologize, and instead of potato chips, you made me call you Brother Qiong—"

"Isn't this to counter Sister Qi's position?"

"I won't even mention Bronya's sisters, but that little girl in your arms in the infirmary the other day, and Seele today—I get it, you're just a lolicon who likes to claim sisters everywhere!"

Qiong: ...

Qiong sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. How should I put it? He does have a little hobby of having children call him "brother," but how does that relate to being a lolicon?

Being unjustly accused, Qiong felt a nameless rage rising in her heart, but not towards Kiana, but towards that damned Sergei Taboritzky!

What?you ask why?

"Lolita" is an abbreviation of "Lolita," which comes from the novel of the same name by Vladimir Nabokov, a Russian-American author. In other words, without Nabokov, there would be no Lolita, and naturally, no "Lolita."

If Tabi hadn't assassinated Nabokov the Elder in Germany, drastically altering the life and future writing trajectory of Nabokov the Younger, he might never have written *Lolita*, the term "Lolita" wouldn't exist, and Kiana wouldn't be accusing him of being a "Lolita fetishist"...

In short, Tabby, you deserve to die!

After mentally performing a thirty-second oral exercise on Tabby, who wasn't the regent of God O in another timeline, Qiong still had to refocus on the present.

It doesn't matter how Kiana scolds me, she's just a paramecium, let her do whatever she wants! The key is how to appease Mei and deal with Black Nozomi?

To be honest, explaining it to Mei is easy. Mei is an understanding girl; a few simple words are enough. Just tell Mei that Black Seele is a little kid who craves love. Dealing with Black Seele isn't difficult either. Just bring out Bronya Zaychek, and then show White Seele what mischief Black Seele has gotten into. Seele will definitely pack her books and move next to Bronya. But there are still a few minor issues…

How do I tell Mei that Kaffa doesn't like her and wants them to break up, and also introduce "both Seeles" to everyone? The latter, Sora, chooses to trust Bronya's wisdom, while the former...

Originally, Qiong had planned to explain last night, but he had almost forgotten about what the Herrscher of Thunder had done. Then, with Silencer and Bronya arriving, the environment was clearly unsuitable, so he planned to postpone it until today. But today…

That doesn't seem appropriate either.

"Dead Gray Hair, aren't you going to defend yourself?"

"I don't want to persuade someone who can't be persuaded."

"That's because you're not good enough!"

Qiong shook his head helplessly. Rather than arguing with that idiot Na, he should think about how to tell Mei about Kaffa. But before he could ponder for long, a commotion suddenly erupted at the classroom door.

Looking up, it was Bronya! Bronya floated all the way to Qiong's side.

"Brother Qiong!"

Bronya and Sora looked at each other, just silently gazing at each other.

Qiong: ? ? ?

Wait, what's going on with you, you Spanish guy? Even if your sister's personality is causing trouble, she shouldn't be bothering me, right?

Bronya, what are you doing?

After being tormented by Hei hope and Kiana in turn, Qiong's mind was in a mess, and he was extremely annoyed with Bronya, who was staring at him without saying a word.

"Brother Qiong, did you say bad things about Bronya to Seele?"

"I didn't!"

Qiong categorically denied it. He didn't have the habit of talking badly about people behind their backs. His conversations with Seele were just about telling stories, all sorts of stories, including fantasy stories and his own experiences. If the bad things Bronya did when they first met in the stories counted as bad talk...

Hey, it seems there really is one?

He was just telling a story, how could he be wrong? Heaven knows that this jerk was listening at the time, and then he blurted it out at this moment, turning the conflict between Seele and Bronya into a conflict between Sora and Bronya—Bronya shouldn't be like Kiana back then, challenging him to a duel in the training ground, right?

"Bronya, I have never spoken ill of you to Seele, nor have I ever exaggerated or fabricated anything! My story is absolutely objective and fair, you have to believe me!"

"I can't hear the launch site in my dreams—"

Just as she was about to defend herself again, Qiong's phone rang.

"Bronya, wait a minute, I need to take this call."

Qiong strode towards the corridor, and upon seeing Mei laughing angrily at Hei Xi and Hei hope looking both cute and fierce, she decisively turned her head away: "I need to answer the phone first!"

Even without looking at the caller ID, Qiong knew it was Coralie. It had been less than a day since the last call from this number. What could be so important?

Or perhaps Danheng missed him and wanted to have a long phone conversation?

Regardless, Qiong pressed the answer button.

This time he didn't speak first because he didn't know whether the person on the other end was Danheng or Coralie.

"Qiong-ge, how have you been lately?"

It's Coralie.

"It's alright."

After all, the problems we face now are all about happiness. Compared to the dark and hopeless quantum sea or the destruction of the world, these minor conflicts are still quite blissful.

"Hmph, be grateful to me!"

On the other end of the phone, Coralie, beaming with pride, felt that the value of her intelligence and the subsequent assistance she would receive were beyond what a mere ice cream could repay.

Remember, the debt of gratitude owed to the Great Demon King Coralie is far from over!

"Just letting you know, your three alien friends will arrive at the Far East branch by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Get ready! We know you might not be able to hold out, so Helia and I will come over to see if we can help you..."

Qiong: ...

Qiong no longer cared what Coralie said afterward. He hung up the phone and uttered a single word.

"grass!"

The noise was so loud that even Mei and Seele, who were sulking on the other side, noticed it, but Sora didn't care.

There's an old Chinese saying: "Misfortunes never come singly, but good fortune never comes in pairs"—okay, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. But saying that one problem after another is definitely not an exaggeration, and you can see something from Lao Yang's previous statements...

"Qiong, what happened?"

Qiong's shout made Mei and Seele temporarily stop their conflict and come over. Mei's eyes were full of concern for him.

Qiong waved her hand.

"He's not dead, it's just a minor inconvenience, nothing to worry about."

"Dead Gray Hair, you're yelling and screaming over such a small problem? Tell me, and your Sister Qi will give you some advice!"

"Is it because of that phone call?"

"Brother Qiong, you can tell everyone if there's anything you need to say."

Kiana and Bronya also came over... It's strange, these people were the source of his troubles just now, but now they're coming over one after another to comfort him?

Scanning the four people who had surrounded her, several thoughts flashed through Qiong's mind: For example, telling Mei now that Kafka doesn't like her; telling everyone that Seele actually has two counterparts; telling them that someone will come knocking on their door tomorrow…

In the end, however, he chose to delay as long as possible, and he said nothing.

What difference does it make whether I say it today or tomorrow? The earth will keep turning whether I say it or not, and St. Freya Academy will still be bathed in sunshine.

This will only have some impact on him; for him, perhaps a storm is coming.

What exactly did I repay?
