Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 196 I am your secretary

Chapter 196 I am your secretary

The cloak fluttered without wind, and the raven squinted, drew its bow, and aimed at Danheng.

The black-feathered arrow shot towards them like a meteor, its speed astonishing, but Dan Heng was even faster.

Dan Heng swiftly drew his spear, its blade gleaming coldly, and accurately deflected the arrow aimed at him.

When the first arrow failed, Raven immediately drew his bow again and fired several black-feathered arrows at once. Fearing that the three might not be able to kill them with the silent arrows alone, Raven added black-feathered blades and some explosives.

"March!"

"Understood! Stand still obediently."

Arrows and blades, trailing a fierce flame, whistled towards the group. The black and red attack, mixed with explosives, pounced on them. If it were an ordinary B-rank Valkyrie, or an unprepared A-rank or even an S-rank Valkyrie like Sister Tako, they would be badly injured, if not killed.

However, Dan Heng, who remained calm under pressure, was clearly not the weak prey in the raven's eyes. The man beside him, with a halo and wings on the back of his head, flipped through a book, while the one behind him made a firing gesture. With a flick of his spear, several flashes of light appeared, and Dan Heng's figure suddenly accelerated, directly knocking away several feather blades. An arrow that accidentally hit him seemed to hit something and made a snapping sound.

As for explosives? That's a joke. A few scattered explosives were enough to make a sound for the group, but if they were too powerful, she herself would be in trouble.

A hint of surprise flashed in Raven's eyes; it seemed the other side was no ordinary person.

"With this body..."

At this moment, the man with the halo and wings gently waved the book in his hand, and a soft light enveloped Dan Heng.

"What the hell?"

As a highly skilled World Serpent mercenary, what kind of scene hasn't Raven seen since Gray Serpent adopted her?

She'd seen plenty of con artists, but this was something she'd never seen before—a display of divine power in front of others… Besides, why would you shine like that in a life-or-death situation?

"Playing tricks and deception."

Raven snorted and charged toward the three of them like a ghost.

"Now!"

Dan Heng shouted and charged towards the raven. The two clashed instantly, the man in green and the shadowy figure colliding.

Sensing the hostile intent of her attacker, Raven, who had taken the initiative, had no time to dodge and took the hit head-on. But she only paused slightly before turning and throwing several black throwing knives at Dan Heng.

If nothing unexpected happens, the knife should pierce Dan Heng's chest, or at least his shoulder, but once it breaks the skin, the poison on it will render him unable to fight.

But that didn't happen; the poisoned throwing knife...

But that didn't happen; the poisoned throwing knife seemed to hit an invisible barrier and bounced off.

Oh no, I've messed up.

Raven was startled. These people were far more troublesome than he had imagined. This was just one man; there was another man and a woman behind him. How was he supposed to fight them?

"Leave now, and I can pretend nothing happened before."

Raven was now grimacing with regret. How could she have run into such a difficult person? If she ran away now, she could definitely escape, but what about the children…

"We have no intention of being your enemy; we are just passing through."

"Stop lying!"

Raven looked wary and didn't believe Danheng's words.

"We have no reason to deceive you; we come from the Star Train—"

"What train? Aren't you Destiny's?"

"The Star Train is not some kind of destiny. You can think of it as a train that travels between various planets, and we are the passengers."

Upon hearing this, Raven's vigilance lessened slightly, but it was not completely relaxed: Let's just assume the other party is mentally ill for now. It's normal for someone who's been tainted by Honkai to be a little neurotic—after all, there shouldn't be many normal people among the Serpent Cavalry in their world.

"Qiong-kun, who is this?"

"This is Senior Anna. She is the most outstanding B-rank Valkyrie in the Oceania branch."

……

For some reason, Anna, who had settled in, didn't want to rest and insisted on visiting St. Freya Academy with Sora. Since Sora also wanted to go back, she readily agreed.

Ignoring Himeko's ambiguous gaze, Sora led Anna into the academy.

It wasn't until she entered the academy that Sora understood what Himeko really meant back then (in her own opinion) that bringing Anna into the academy was a mistake.

"Hello, I am Anna, a B-rank Valkyrie!"

"What a cute girl!"

"Senior Anna, is Sora your boyfriend?"

"Hey, hey, hey, what nonsense are you spouting!"

Qiong originally wanted to show Anna a glimpse of youthful school life, but as soon as he entered the academy, he encountered a bunch of girls asking him all sorts of questions—as the only male student in the school, Qiong's fame was far greater than he had imagined.

Moreover, the girls' gossip level left him at a loss. Even taking someone on a tour of the academy could lead to a crisis in his relationship with Mei. It can only be said that Theresa gave him too few tasks.

"That's not right."

The girl who asked the question immediately lost interest, but Anna quickly added another sentence.

"Qiong has just become the acting captain of the Hyperion, and I am his acting captain's 'secretary'~"

"Oh!!!"

"Senior, open your mouth wide!"

Seeing Qiong's exasperated expression, Anna's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, and her voice became particularly... sharp?

"Don't strain your voice! And don't add weird stress to certain words!"

If Mia were here, this theoretical master would immediately tell Qiong: This isn't called being coy; it's just that girls unconsciously act coquettishly and soften their voices when they meet someone they like, and they might not even realize it themselves—especially girls whose first love has just begun.

"It's just stating the facts, there's no need to get so worked up, my dear Captain?"

The sweet voice pierced the barrier between the female students of St. Freya Academy and Anna, but Qiong's neck suddenly tensed.

If I had to describe it in four words, it would be "scalp tingling".

Anna smiled and nodded to everyone, her gaze sweeping over them before finally settling on Qiong.

In her eyes, there was only the sky. Building good relationships with the other possible crew members was also part of the captain's secretary's duties.

"Senior Anna, how can we become Valkyries like you?"

Qiong sighed helplessly; he just wanted to end this topic as soon as possible.

"Well..."

Anna crossed her arms and tilted her head, deep in thought.

"To become an excellent Valkyrie, at least..."

She doesn't understand either, and she's not exactly an expert herself, is she?

Two people suddenly flashed through Anna's mind.

"At the very least, you have to be as good as your classmates Beaver Duck and Crowley!"

The girls nodded in agreement. But soon someone else pressed for more information.

"Senior Anna, who are you talking about?"

Qiong: !

Oh no, something bad is about to happen!

After class today, I played Paradox Interactive with my friends at noon, and then spent the whole evening playing Bloodstained Clock Tower. Suddenly, I realized I seemed to have forgotten something...

Today's update!

I'll update at noon; rushing at night is too risky and might lead to a crash...

Start stockpiling drafts! I need to update as soon as possible!
