Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 226 Raiden Mei, you need to be confident!

March 7th, Danheng also has a Sunday, a combination that sounds extremely unusual.

Realizing the impending crisis, Qiong wanted to call Lao Yang to talk, but no one answered the number she dialed? This was extremely unusual. How could the busy leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance not be able to get through on the phone?

After several unanswered calls, Qiong had no choice but to temporarily give up on communicating with Lao Yang and instead rely on others—to find out the specifics first.

Sora wanted to ask others about the details of the past few days. But Bronya and Seele were engrossed in their heart-to-heart talk, completely ignoring Sora; Himeko was working overtime because of Seele, whom he had brought back, and she still had to help him deal with Theresa (he had returned in such a rush that he hadn't gotten the manga he planned to use to fool Theresa, and he hadn't gotten the gift he promised Kiana either). Raiden Mei? When she asked her, she even asked Sora in return…

"Qiong, if you had another chance, who would you choose, me or Miss March 7th?"

Mei can use questions to deal with Sora's questions, but Sora cannot.

"It has to be you, Mei!"

"Where are Miss Liuying and me?"

"It has to be you, Mei!"

If you were to ask Raiden Mei, you would probably get multiple-choice questions like these.

……

Because she got back too late and was too tired, Qiong didn't plan to go to Theresa's place today. Anyway, she still had her own bed here... Seele and Bronya could just squeeze in.

Bronya, wanna play video games?

Of course, even when you're physically and mentally exhausted, you can still be completely absorbed in playing games and even forget to eat or sleep – that's the charm of games.

When Sora was focused on fighting Bronya, who was being interfered with by Seele, Raiden Mei suddenly spoke up.

"Qiong, who do you think is prettier, Miss March 7th or Miss Firefly?"

"That must be Mei—"

Qiong: ?

Why did Raiden Mei suddenly ask such a question? Was he about to instinctively answer "Choose Mei"?

"Qiong, who among them is prettier?"

Qiong: ? ? ?

"They all look good."

I don't know what Mei is up to, but maybe she lacks confidence?

It must have been something that March 7th showed that made Mei feel threatened, just like the sense of crisis she felt after confessing to him was also caused by Hanabi.

Raiden Mei, you need to be confident!

"What if we add Kiana?"

"They all look good."

"What if I join you?"

"It's all good—cough cough, Mei, everyone has their own unique beauty, like Kiana..."

Simply emphasizing that Raiden Mei is beautiful might fool her temporarily, but it can't fundamentally solve her lack of confidence. The key is to reassure Raiden Mei, rather than making verbal promises about who is more attractive or who is less attractive.

"Kiana is very lively! And you, you are extremely gentle! Besides your looks, you also have a kind of Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman) beauty! You are both beautiful, but you are different types. My judgment is too subjective and cannot be compared!"

"Qiong boy, can't you just coax Mei and say she's prettier?"

Listening to Sora's idiotic remarks, Himeko couldn't help but scold her: "You idiot, at a time like this, you should at least lie to your girlfriend and say you're prettier! Don't you know how to charm a girl?!"

After being scolded by Himeko, Sora immediately said seriously, "Himeko-neechan, I like to tell the truth! I really think everyone is very beautiful! Do you think it's possible to compare different types of inner beauty and outer beauty in different people?"

thump.

Bronya slammed the handle onto the floor.

"Sister Bronya?"

"Xier, I'm alright..."

What is this idiot doing!

"Mei, listen to me."

Under the watchful eyes of the facepalming Bronya and the speechless Himeko, Sora put down the handle and gently stroked the slightly puzzled Raiden Mei's small nose.

"If I chose you because you're pretty, wouldn't I just run off with someone prettier later? I'm not that kind of person! I chose Raiden Mei not just because you're pretty!"

What Sora said made some sense, but not much. However, it was enough to get by: at least Mei's mood visibly improved after a short while.

Seeing Mei's beaming smile, Sora secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In low-level games, he'd endlessly praise his girlfriend's looks, to the point that even she wouldn't believe him, and she'd keep asking endless questions... He only plays high-level games! Now, he's moved beyond the issue of looks; he likes the person, not just appearance. Based on this, he can avoid a lot of pointless arguments in the future...

The key point is this: Raiden Mei, you need to be confident!

"So, Qiong boy."

After throwing the empty beer can into the trash can, Himeko Murata looked at Sora with great interest.

"Who do you think is the prettiest? Don't just give me a perfunctory answer!"

No, Himeko, why are you making things worse? You can't possibly want me to tell you that you're the prettiest, can you?

When asked by Himeko, Sora's mind raced: she couldn't just say anything without thinking.

First of all, I absolutely cannot say that Raiden Mei is the prettiest, otherwise what I just said might be for nothing. Mei is still uneasy... Say Bronya? That would be a hypocritical deception! What about Himeko? That's not good either... Oh well, I'll try to fool her for now.

"Himeko-neechan, you're beautiful in my eyes too! Mature and beautiful, heroic and spirited, and..."

"You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you? But I'm asking who you think is the best-looking? Surely it's not that March 7th, is it?"

Himeko is simply curious right now, curious about who is the most beautiful in Sora's heart.

"How could that be? Himeko-neechan, don't talk nonsense..."

Qiong revealed a smile that was more like a grimace. "You really have to get to the bottom of this?"

"Hmm, I also want to know who the most beautiful person is in Qiong's heart... Could it be that Miss Liuying?"

No, absolutely not!

Qiong hurriedly waved her hand, knowing that if she couldn't answer this question well, it would be another problem.

Putting aside the fact that it's unsuitable and you can't choose something too fake, if possible, it's best to avoid Mei altogether...

Suddenly, seven words flashed through Qiong's mind: There is no one better than a mother in the world.

"In my heart... the most beautiful person is Kaffa!"

"Who?"

The unexpected name that came out of Qiong's mouth caused everyone to show expressions of curiosity.

"A stunningly beautiful woman with purple hair, kind of like my mom... Mom is the most beautiful and gorgeous, who agrees, who disagrees?"

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

This rescue operation was not quite what March 7 had envisioned.

The idea for March 7th was that Walter's family pointed out the location to them, and under the leadership of that "Potio," the pioneering team infiltrated the kidnappers' hideout and appeared before Walter's sister like divine intervention.

Then, after the invincible heroine March 7th shouted, "You bunch of bad guys, let that woman go!" she found a group of fierce-looking guys surrounding Aunt Yang (who is Uncle Yang's sister, isn't that Aunt Yang?), who was trembling with fear in her eyes. The foolish bad guys not only did not run away, but also dared to fight back against the heroine March 7th and her two helpers. In the end, the villains were defeated, and Old Yang's sister was moved to tears of gratitude.

However, when March 7 and the others rushed towards the battle site, they found that the situation was completely different from what she had imagined! Dan Heng quickly discerned from their conversation that this was not an ordinary kidnapping, but a conflict between secret organizations—it sounded like Walter was the leader of this secret organization called "Anti-Entropy".

For March 7th, the most unacceptable thing was that they were not allowed to enter the "Ark Chamber" to discuss the plan to save Walter's sister named Tesla. It wasn't until Old Yang appeared that the three of them were brought in. Putting aside Walter's wariness when he saw Sunday, this reunion was still quite nice.

"Ugh, so boring..."

The environment inside the Ark Chamber made March 7 drowsy, and bored, she could only play on her phone—to report to the train crew and the Star Core Hunters that they had found Walter.

Zhao Camera: Huge good news! Huge good news! We've found Uncle Yang!

Fearing that some people wouldn't believe him, on March 7th he even posted a photo of Old Yang in the Ark Room—normally, taking photos here is not allowed.

Train conductor: Well done, Pam! (Pam gives a thumbs up)

Navigator: Well done, Pam! (Pam gives a thumbs up)

Samuel: Um, any news about Sora?

Zhao Camera: Yes, yes, Qiong goes to the school we visited before, and she has a girlfriend who looks a lot like Ms. Huang Quan! We also saw another sister, Himeko, and Ms. Yinlang—

Little Green Dragon: ……

Weekdays: ...

Game of Life: ...

Samuel: ...Qiong, he got a girlfriend?

Zhao Camera: Yes, that's right, we even had a meal there!

—Five minutes later—

Samuel: (Iron Fist Sam Flame)

Zhao Camera: What does this mean?

Xiao Qinglong: In March, try to use your phone less during meetings.

I thought I updated yesterday, but I didn't... (My memory is failing me).

I got up in the middle of the night to finish this, but my brain was completely blank...

But I still managed to type it out! Now, those of you reading this, please reflect on why you're still awake (laughs).
