Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 124: Completion is Perfection

Sora's embrace was so warm and relaxing that Serapem closed her eyes and quietly savored this moment of tranquility. For this girl who was not good with words, on this planet where she had few acquaintances and almost no one was willing to "merge" with her, Serapem felt like she had found a safe haven in Sora's arms.

You won't be lonely anymore, right?

But as Sora once said, beautiful times always come to an end, and the infirmary is too close.

Thinking of this, Serapem gripped the dome tightly.

Absolutely not, absolutely not, he must not be left alone again, he must be brought back...

As for those older brothers and sisters who took advantage of the situation? Serapem had already heard from her dear sister Serapem: those are not people, they are dogs like Dodo, don't feel guilty.

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

Serapem was so light that Qiong could easily carry her to the infirmary and here.

"Teacher, are you there?"

Because of the ambiguous relationship between Sora and Baiji, Sora ultimately chose to call Baiji "teacher," and Baiji himself accepted it gladly—except for Himeko, it seems that no one felt dissatisfied.

Upon opening the door, Baiji was nowhere to be found.

"What about people?"

Did Baiji skip work?

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

In the principal's office, Yae Sakura was pouring bitter melon juice for Bai Ji, who looked troubled.

He doesn't like to suffer.

"Headmaster, if it concerns the Stigmata, please forgive me for being unable to help. I must return to my duties."

Today is the day Serapem makes her move, and to avoid them crying and begging in his ear, he has to hurry back.

"Teacher Bai, don't rush off, how about a glass of bitter melon juice first?"

But just as he stood up to run away, Theresa grabbed him.

Baiji instinctively tried to break free, but Theresa remained unmoved.

Theresa's small body possessed unimaginable strength. Faced with her stern and aggressive approach, the frail academic Xiaobai was utterly powerless to resist.

Bai Ji sighed helplessly. What was wrong with Theresa...?

"Headmaster, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Seeing Baiji compromise, Theresa showed a relieved expression.

"Teacher Bai, I didn't call you here today for the matter of the Holy Mark."

Instead of pinning her hopes on Bai Ji's fake Stigmata, she has found another opportunity in ancient Chinese mythology and the recent abnormal Honkai beast tide around the South China Sea. She is just waiting to gather people in a couple of days to investigate there.

"why?"

Bai Ji was a little curious about this. Why would they look for him if not for the Stigmata? Were they going to give him a raise?

"It's because of Qiong! What do you think about your child dating?"

"Huh? Qiong is in a relationship?"

As someone out of touch with the times, Yae Sakura isn't as adept at using smartphones as others. She lags far behind in both the quantity and timeliness of information she accesses, compounded by her personality and her hectic work schedule…

In short, the last piece of information Yae Sakura learned about Sora was from Theresa's complaint yesterday morning: "That kid doesn't know the rules. He didn't even report to the headmaster after finishing his mission!"

Before opening her mouth, Theresa decided to layer armor.

"Let me first state my position: St. Freya is open-minded and supports free love! However, in order to prevent students from making irreparable mistakes, damaging friendships, causing conflicts, or even leading to serious incidents involving lives, this principal opposes students dating when they are not mature enough. But due to the rules and principles of St. Freya, I cannot directly stop them..."

The implication is that Theresa hopes Baiji will step in to stop Sora and Mei, making him the villain who breaks up the couple.

"So, the headmaster doesn't approve of students dating?"

"I don't approve of them dating when they're not mature enough!"

Baiji's eyes lit up. Wasn't this just like having a pillow when you want to sleep? He immediately downed the bitter melon juice on the table in one gulp.

"The headmaster is wise beyond our reach!"

"So, can you two explain to me what exactly happened?"

"This is none of your business, Secretary Yae. Don't worry about it."

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

Qiong stood in the infirmary, holding Serapem, somewhat at a loss. It wasn't that he didn't want to put the child down, it's just that little Serapem was holding on too tightly...

"No, no, Brother Qiong, don't leave me alone..."

"Little Sera, I still have classes to attend..."

Serapem gripped even tighter.

Qiong: ...

Originally, Qiong planned to send Serapem to Baiji and then leave at the speed of light.

But he miscalculated. Didn't this Martian think of what he could? He'd already boarded the pirate ship and was trying to escape?

However, there are still solutions.

"Actually, you weren't injured at all, were you?"

The girl in his arms trembled slightly for a moment, then chose to close her eyes and pretend to be dead.

"Little Sera? Little Sera?"

What ostrich tactic?

After a while, Sora lost his patience. It was Himeko's class later, and he didn't want to skip it without a reason; one of the conditions of Theresa's student stipend was that he couldn't skip class!

Thinking of this, Qiong decisively pulled her hand away from Serapem and made her lie on the hospital bed.

"Little Sera, wait here for Bai—"

"Waaaaah, Sera is so pitiful..."

But Serapem didn't listen at all, and instead started sobbing. In the moment that Qiong was stunned, Serapem grabbed Qiong again.

Qiong felt a splitting headache coming on; he had never encountered anything like this before! Even knowing the other person was acting, he couldn't bring himself to use force on the little girl…

What exactly do you want?

Anyone will do, just help him out!

"Brother Qiong, please don't leave Little Sera..."

Perhaps sensing that Sora was in a bit of a predicament, Serapem immediately stopped crying and began to use a coquettish tactic, rubbing her body and face against the hand that Sora was holding.

"you you you……"

Qiong didn't know what to say. The other party wouldn't explain clearly, and he couldn't very well ask. Now, they were leaving him here... What on earth were these Martians up to?!

"Okay, okay, I'll leave when Teacher Bai comes back!"

He wanted to see what the Martians were up to.

Upon hearing that Qiong had agreed, Serapem smiled happily, a smile as radiant as a flower blooming in spring.

"Brother Qiong, thank you."

Looking at Serapem's smiling face, Qiong suddenly had a... strange feeling? It seemed that staying wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Soon, Serapham made another unreasonable request.

"Um, could you hold little Sera, brother? It would be best if you wore a hat..."

"hat?"

"Please, brother."

Although Qiong was puzzled, seeing Serapem's expectant eyes, she did as she was told. But where did this hat come from in the infirmary?

He could only conjure up Mikhail's top hat.

As for picking up Serapem again, that's impossible. At most, he can just sit on the edge of the bed and let Serapem hold him, while little Serapem snuggles contentedly beside him, her little hands tightly clutching his clothes.

In a sense, the one wearing that hat was more proficient in the art of "bondage" than she was, being a practitioner of "bondage" techniques. Just being near him and basking in that feeling was very comfortable...

"Open the door, the Valkyrie brings warmth!"

Kiana Kaslana kicked open the half-closed door and rushed in to "catch them in the act."

Seeing the scene before her, Kiana, overjoyed yet unfazed, raised an eyebrow.

"You gray-haired bastard, you're something else. You stole my Mei and then hooked up with some little girl who appeared out of nowhere? You actually went after such a young girl?"

Honestly, he wouldn't do that, otherwise Bronya would have killed him long ago.

Just as Qiong was about to explain, Serapem spoke first.

"Sister, I just fell down, and Brother Qiong was passing by and brought me here. He's taking care of me now."

Kiana naturally didn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it.

"Caught red-handed and still trying to deny it? I hate lolicon the most! For Bronya, this little sister, and Mei, accept your punishment, you gray-haired devil!"

Kiana, who rushed forward to grab him, was speechless: You're doing this for Mei, aren't you?

There's no way to dodge it. With Seraph holding him, he's practically immobilized, if not completely unable to move. If Kiana catches him, with her strength, he'll be badly injured, if not killed. He'll just have to try and see…

"Sanctions my foot! Take this, an impromptu performance!"

"Wow, what is that?!"

-----------

"Donigor, don't you think the plan is too crude?"

Deng, who wanted to do something but was forced to stay behind to watch the shop and not participate in the operation, realized the unreliability of the plan after talking with Donegal and became even more eager to take matters into his own hands.

"Rough? Just say it wasn't successful."

"but……"

The lamp seemed to want to say something more.

Do you remember what that woman said?

Which woman?

The lamp didn't react immediately.

"Oh dear, Ajeta!"

Donigor scratched his ear.

"Completion is more important than perfection. Achievement is completion, completion is fulfilling a need, and fulfilling a need is perfection. Therefore, completion is perfection. That's enough. Don't come looking for me!"
