Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 288 Come into my arms!

After the initial shock of the information, Sora calmed down. After finding a few slightly inconsistencies in Kiana's words, Sora tried to discern the problem from Kiana's expression, but Kiana didn't give him a chance. Kiana, with her hair in a high ponytail, tried every means to get close enough to hug him…

Good news, my intuition tells me this is really Kiana; bad news, this Kiana is a little too good at flirting with young boys…

But Paramecium, even if you become the End Worm, you are still a worm, a mere worm, do not disturb my Dao heart!

Confused and disoriented, Qiong forced herself to calm down and suppress her inappropriate desires. She placed her hands on Kiana's shoulders, trying to create some distance between them.

"Kiana, stop messing around. Aren't you going to continue telling me how I died?"

However, Kiana blinked her big eyes and smiled gently.

"Sora, I really don't want to bring up those painful memories. We can talk about them later; we have plenty of time."

Give her some time; she needs to patch things up.

Kiana's words naturally did not dispel the unease in Qiong's heart, and Qiong also believed that he was not a philanderer or a scumbag who could marry three or four girls at once and leave them with unborn children...

Kiana knew and could see through it, so she could only try to appeal to his emotions first.

Thinking back, what fond memories does Sora have with them? How was the St. Freya school anniversary celebration?

If she remembered correctly, about two weeks before the second St. Freya school anniversary celebration, Qiong suddenly started bragging to them about his past jobs as a museum curator, logistics route designer, bartender, and even ghost hunter. Everyone initially thought he was daydreaming or had drunk some fake liquor from Siegfried's secret stash—later they found out he was telling the truth… Anyway, his aunt, who happened to be passing by, used Qiong's extensive experience as an excuse to force him to put on a performance for the upcoming St. Freya school anniversary. After that, this shameless guy spent the next few days coercing and bribing them, saying he'd hastily put together a girls' band…

However, Qiong hasn't reached her second school anniversary celebration yet, has she?

While Kiana was pondering, Sora spoke up again to seize the initiative.

"Kiana, have you ever considered that I might not be the 'Sora' you know? The fact that you're standing here talking to me means there are only two possibilities: first, history is a closed loop, and I will still die; second, you've actually traveled to a parallel universe's past, and I and your Sora are simply different people who made different choices!"

"Ugh?"

Kiana paused for a moment, then smiled sweetly.

Dead Grey Hair, your favorite look combined with my god-like charm, and you still think you can rationally resist and find my flaws? Can't you just give in to the beast of desire sleeping in your heart?

"No matter what the possibility is, I don't care. In my heart, you are Sora, the one and only Sora!"

In an attempt to regain control of the situation, Kiana reached out and slammed her hand against the wall behind Sora. The wall made a loud "thud" due to the force of her slam.

When Kiana showed off her off-shoulder dress and hairless armpits up close, and brought her large thunderbolt and deliberately made-up wife face close to Sora's, Sora's face involuntarily "burned".

You're not Kiana, you're the End Worm, not a lustful worm with insatiable desires!

"No, no, no! This is important! If your world line is only one possibility, then I should be Sora who only followed Mei's route. You can't generalize! I don't think you should—"

With her face flushed red, Sora was no longer the imposing interrogator she had been before, and she glanced away to divert her attention... This infuriated Kiana.

Stubborn and unyielding, huh? You won't listen to reason, will you?

Kiana pursed her lips, and her puffed-up cheeks looked...extremely cute to Sora?

"Mei Line or whatever, I don't care about any of that! To me, you're just the gray-haired girl I love! Are you going to negate all my efforts with just one sentence? For you, even my true form..."

"Your true form?"

good chance!

She remembered the Thirty-Six Stratagems... well, maybe it was Sun Tzu's Art of War, anyway, the ancient Chinese had a saying, "To catch someone, first let them go!"

Seeing that Qiong had jumped into the pit on her own initiative, Kiana withdrew her hand.

I'm sorry, but I don't regret it. Keep asking, darling, come snuggling into my arms! You must have been holding back a lot, right?

Although, it probably wasn't as hard as my work.

"What happened to your original form because of me?"

The moment Kiana stopped, Qiong's tension vanished, replaced by concern for Kiana and a sense of inexplicable guilt.

"It's nothing, nothing serious. At most, I'll just turn into a lazy cat—cough cough, into Sleeping Beauty!"

Kiana seemed quite indifferent, then looked seriously at Sora's face—to be honest, she wasn't flustered.

"But that's nothing. As long as I can see you, it's all worth it."

As Qiong watched Kiana's feigned ease, her feelings of guilt and remorse grew stronger.

Kiana, have you... fallen into a deep sleep and will never wake up?

Kiana nodded.

Qiong was shocked; he hadn't expected Kiana to be willing to pay such a high price for him.

"You idiot! What about the others? They must be extremely anxious. Have you even thought about their feelings?"

"Qiong, actually—"

Kiana really wanted to say that as long as you do as I say and "stay alive," then she wouldn't need to come back, and she wouldn't fall into a deep sleep—don't ask if it makes sense, anyway, when in doubt, blame Honkai energy and the End Miracle.

Just as Kiana was about to explain, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Before Qiong could say "Please come in," the door was already pushed open, and Bai Ji, with a wry smile on his face, walked in with the sobbing Song Que.

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

"Master Baishu, Master Songque is safe and sound, but she seems a little agitated..."

Bai Ji spoke helplessly. How could he not see that Song Que was pushing his luck? The place he found Song Que was another of the Lanterns' strongholds. The Lanterns controlled Song Que's personal freedom, but assured him that supplies were plentiful. When Bai Ji led his men out, Song Que was already eating his fifth bowl of noodles…

In this person's words, it's rare to be able to put the debt under the name of the Lamp Organization, so even in death, one should die with a full stomach... Bai Ji didn't even know what to say for a moment.

Then, after he explained the whole story, Song Que burst into tears—those who knew her thought the Lamp Organization had placed her under house arrest, but those who didn't would have thought that it was Young Master Bai abusing his power!

When the sparrow saw the dome inside the house, it instantly went from shedding tears to wailing, then rushed over in three steps, slid to its knees, and hugged the dome's leg.

"Boss Bai Shu! Brother Qiong! We thought we'd never see you again! Those guys, them! Waaaaaah!"

"Song Que, stop making that noise! ​​Why don't you get up first?"

Matsuki cried uncontrollably, soaking Sora's trousers, as if she had suffered inhuman torture. Sora looked embarrassed; Kiana was right in front of her! She tried to pull Matsuki off her lap, but Matsuki clung on tightly and wouldn't let go. Kiana watched this scene, a hint of speechlessness flashing in her eyes.

As expected of Maria, the psychology teacher and head of the performance activities at St. Freya, who can perfectly complete the task of being a aunt and even embezzle a small amount from the meager budget... Kiana Kaslana could never learn her acting skills in eight lifetimes!

However, Kiana wasn't that afraid of Matsuki and the others—they're all going to be losers in the future, so none of us should laugh at each other!

Of course, that was the original future. Kiana could sense that although the general direction hadn't changed, the future was subtly altering...

These changes are all advantages. Once she accumulates these advantages to a certain extent, she will be able to achieve a happy ending for everyone!

To clarify, Martians and others are considered humanoid beings. In terms of emotions, she only acknowledges the "Saint Freya among Earthlings," and the others are considered "outsiders."

Who is this?

Bai Ji couldn't help but glance at Kiana a few more times. Everyone else avoided Qiong like the plague, but how could Kiana be so brave?

not good!

"Song Que, wait a moment!"

Qiong quickly broke free from Song Que and ran to Kiana's side, then pulled her into a corner and began to lecture her with a serious expression.

"Kiana, whatever you want to do, you can't let your teachers know you a billion years too early!"

Kiana looked puzzled.

"A billion? How long is that? I can only imagine a hundred years! Besides, you don't need to worry."

Kiana showed the small feather in her palm.

"This is Feather Dust, so you're going to treat it... treat it as a super miniature version of Sunday? In their eyes, I'm not Kiana, but my mom Cecilia!"

Qiong's eyes widened. Feather Dust? Isn't that something from a celestial being? Kiana…

He was still holding back, only telling himself that he could change how others perceived him? If he hadn't known it was the Key to Consciousness…

There's no doubt Kiana lied to herself. If that statement can be confirmed as a lie, what about the parts before it?

But Qiong can't point out that Kiana is deceiving him right now, because if he does, he can't guarantee that Kiana, who calls herself "a widow before marriage," won't get angry and take his virginity, then lock him in the Imaginary Space while riding on top of him and saying, "Qiong, you're still too smart. Can't you be a little dumber? I'm sorry, my beloved, I can only..." He doesn't know if Kiana will do that, but he can't afford to gamble.

Completely unaware of the problem, Kiana, who thought Sora was simply afraid of being recognized, playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Anyway, don't worry. With it here, Ms. Maria and Ms. Baiji won't recognize me."

After speaking, Kiana immediately put on the act of a gentle and dignified wife, helped the sparrow up from the ground, and even patted the dust off her body.

"Oh dear, Song Que, it's only been a short time since I last saw you, how come you've become like this?"

Kiana looked at Matsuki, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. She was completely treating Matsuki like a little girl!

"Stop crying, you won't be pretty if you keep crying!"

In fact, when the sparrow finally noticed "Cecilia", it had already stopped crying, looked up at Kiana, and its eyes were full of shock.

A dignified and elegant woman with white hair and blue eyes, her brows exuding a heroic spirit, is like... a Valkyrie?

But why did this woman speak to her like they were old friends? Were they very close?

Don't you recognize me?

The sparrow nodded honestly, making Kiana laugh so hard she almost fell over.

"Did we say something wrong? What are you laughing at?"

"I am rice cake!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ji and Song Que were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out.

The talking alien snake has become a snake spirit!

Kiana herself, in Cecilia's guise, winked at Sora: "How about it? Isn't my mother beautiful? This is what I'll look like in the future! So quickly fall for me and come into my arms!"

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

I don't know what's wrong with me today, but I get sleepy as soon as I start typing... Maybe it's because the V3 update is coming soon, and I went crazy last night and updated it early, then spent the whole night playing save files?

One of the causal weapons, Honkai Impact 3rd, is going to collaborate with Honkai Impact 3rd... Fortunately, even the Honkai Impact 3rd characters in the collaboration can't absorb life, hehe.

The outline is finally finished. Although it's not perfect, at least it won't be a disaster. If it's not good enough, I'll have to cut it into two parts and change the second half into a flashback.
