Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 256 Danheng: We might lose him

Hyperion.

Strictly speaking, it was already past the end of the workday, but Anna, who insisted on finishing today's work today, still dragged the reluctant Qiong to the Hyperion to keep him company while he worked overtime.

Anna thought that Qiong would be somewhat moved. The beautiful Valkyrie Mystery Book, who was alone (except for Ai-chan), voluntarily sacrificed her after-get off work time to accompany her to work overtime. Even if feelings developed over time, she would at least be grateful.

But no, because Sora's attention was entirely focused on Himeko's file, which she probably hadn't processed at all.

Why does this warship need to process so many documents?

To be honest, Qiong has no desire to work at all right now, because it seems that as the captain, he only gets academic credits without a salary (which is very Theresa). What's more, he has more important things to do now: to resolve the conflict between Mei and March Seven—even though it was just Mei being jealous.

Qiong was so eager to get off work that she had no time to pay attention to Anna.

"Senior, these documents seem to be the kind that can be approved or not approved. It's so late, why don't we go home? I don't want to keep you working overtime. If it's really necessary, I'll take the documents home and process them."

Thinking about it carefully, would Himeko really be so careless as to hand over such important documents to him? These are probably "training assignments" given to him by Himeko.

"no!"

The fierce-looking Anna refused Sora's request.

"Documents may not be taken off the ship without prior notification! Even if you want to go back to working from home, you have to go through the formal procedures and follow the rules. You can't just take them away as you please!"

Qiong shook her head helplessly, and could only complain as she processed the documents.

"Rules? Rules are meant to be broken! These cumbersome processes must be optimized and made more efficient! Himeko-neechan isn't here, so can't I, as the acting captain, make the decisions? Here's what we'll do: finish processing these documents and call it a day. Leave the rest to reliable Ai-chan. Let's get ready to go home!"

Anna's face showed a hint of speechlessness.

Who announces they're off duty after working for less than an hour? I'm prepared to spend the night on the ship with you!

Seeing Qiong's face, which clearly showed her longing to get off work, Anna felt a surge of anger rising within her.

Are you in such a hurry to go back and see your girlfriend? You're even starting to cut corners at work? Don't you want to work a little longer with me?

I'm sacrificing my personal time to keep you company while you work overtime!

"Isn't it inappropriate to push the work onto Ai-chan?"

Anna subtly expressed her objection, but at the same time, a small cabbage appeared on the big screen.

"Don't worry, boss, hardworking Ai-chan will definitely ensure the work is completed to the highest quality and quantity!"

Anyway, Himeko has confirmed that these documents are "unimportant" documents. They can just be put into the shredder after the two of them leave. Ai-chan can then openly steal electricity to play games. Why not?

"Ai-chan, could you drop the word 'agent'? Also, I prefer you to call me Commander."

"Okay, boss!"

"Call me Commander! Or General?"

"No problem, boss!"

Anna: ...

Faced with the prospective captain's attempt to slack off and the AI ​​Ai-Hyperion, who was in cahoots with him, Anna should have unleashed her fury and given them a good dressing down, making the love-struck, slacking-off-prone brute and the electricity-stealing maniac realize their heinous crimes and make amends. But the words stuck in her throat… Ai-chan, an AI, was one thing, but to yell at Sora would be too much of a blow to her pride; Mia said a boy's pride shouldn't be hurt…

"Qiong, do you want to reconsider?"

"No need, Ai-chan is absolutely reliable!"

"Thank you for your trust, boss!"

It must be stated that Anna is not trying to delay Qiong's departure time out of selfish motives; she genuinely wants Qiong to carefully consider and correct her mistake of being perfunctory at work.

In her view, Qiong should be a reckless person who is serious and responsible at work but doesn't use his brain, who charges recklessly on the battlefield but doesn't use his brain, who is friendly and devoted to others in life but doesn't use his brain at others. He is a "reckless person who has the fighting power, the intelligence, and the looks." But now, Qiong has actually started to cut corners at work!

There was no evidence, but Anna speculated that Sora's behavior was because of Raiden Mei, perhaps she wanted to go to her girlfriend's place as soon as she got off work...

This made Anna think of the chance encounter with "Kafka" at the restaurant the day before yesterday afternoon: Is it possible that Sora's mother knows that Sora is too serious and invested in her relationship, which has affected her studies, work and life... You know, Sora is still a student!

If your partner has severely disrupted your life and can influence or even control your emotions, Anna believes you should break up—she doesn't count, she and Sora aren't boyfriend and girlfriend! And this change is positive! If she can replace Mei by Sora's side, she won't hinder Sora's studies or work!

She probably didn't even realize that her thoughts had evolved from "Sora is such a brute" to "I can replace Mei."

Have you spoken with Miss Mei?

Thinking about this, Anna couldn't help but ask that question.

Qiong paused for a moment, then realized that Anna was referring to "Kafka".

"Not yet... How could I possibly bring up something like that!"

"The longer you delay, the bigger the problem will be!"

"Boss, what's the matter?"

"Ai-chan, mind your own business!"

Qiong was somewhat troubled. Anna's words reminded him of the Star Core Hunters in addition to the Star Train!

He didn't plan to rush over and yell "Raiden Mei, let's break up!" but he had to deal with it seriously: because Caroline's influence was far greater than just saying "I disagree." His intuition told him that if he selectively ignored it, things would get really messy.

We can't put all our eggs in one basket with Silver Wolf, can we?

"Why hasn't Qiong come back yet after so long?"

March 7 paced back and forth in the temporary accommodation arranged by St. Freya, muttering to herself: She still wanted to have a pillow fight!

Dan Heng, standing to the side, remained quite calm.

"Don't worry, he was just held up by work."

"Who's in a hurry! I just think he's too slow. We still have so much to do!"

Despite caring so much about Qiong, Dan Heng was almost completely unresponsive in his actions, which left him both amused and exasperated.

"In March, have you ever considered that Qiong might choose to get off the train because of love? We might lose him because of that."

"Huh? Get off the bus?"

March 7th scratched his head.

"How could that be? How could he get off the bus just because of a relationship? He could just invite Miss Mei on board too! We've been through so much together! Danheng, stop overthinking it!"

“Raiden Mei is from Mr. Welt’s hometown, ‘the past.’ We can’t take her with us; only Sora can stay. Sora might really—”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! He would never abandon us. If he left, wouldn't we be the youngest again?"

……

"Ah sneeze!"

A former head of the Oak family, who was surrounded by a group of girls chatting away, sneezed because he couldn't resist being forced to play the piano and hadn't returned home yet.

……

Looking at the emotionally charged March 7, Dan Heng realized that there might be a chance: perhaps March 7 was unaware of her feelings for Qiong, but she was definitely aware of the unbreakable bond between them.

So, the Immortal Ship uses a clever tactic: feigning weakness to lure the prey into a trap!

“Qiong has his own thoughts and choices, and we can’t force him. Besides, I believe he’s also troubled right now. He’s not the kind of irresponsible person, and I feel he’s very likely to stay.”

March 7th's face flushed red, a sign of anger.

"Hmph, we don't care! If he dares to abandon us for love, I'll never forgive him!"

Excellent, that's it! Dan Heng smiled slightly when March 7th didn't notice. Before, it was just that the angle was wrong. Now he has finally triggered March's sense of crisis!

Where does this inexplicable sense of déjà vu come from?
