Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 87 The House of the Herrschers, St. Freya

"Well, Principal."

Qiong scratched his head and said, "Let's do as Lao Yang says."

"Let Uncle Yang tell you. He's the one who brought me here—I think he's the boss here?"

"Who? Professor Walter?"

Theresa raised an eyebrow, and only then did she notice Old Yang behind Einstein.

Let me reintroduce myself.

Walter stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Hello, Principal Theresa, I am the Second Acting Herrscher, the leader of Anti-Entropy, Welt Yang."

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

"The dignified leader of the Anti-Entropy Alliance is actually a spy and a pay thief in my Saint Freya..."

"Headmaster, you've been nagging the whole way, aren't you tired?"

"Sora-kun, remember to keep a proper distance from Professor Welt in the future! Don't think he's a good person, he's definitely after that thing in your chest!"

Theresa's expression became more serious than ever before, and Qiong didn't know what to say.

Walter Young finally decided to take this opportunity to reveal to Theresa that he was the leader of Anti-Entropy. When Theresa learned that the leader of her rival had personally infiltrated her territory, she was so angry that she wanted to pick up the Oath of Judah and beat him up.

But Judah wasn't with him at the time; he was still on the rooftop, and besides, he hadn't fully recovered, so the idea had to be abandoned. Thinking about it calmly again, he still couldn't fight. If he killed someone, who would continue updating the Houmu comics?

"Headmaster, Uncle Yang is such a good person. Without him, I wouldn't have known you were poisoned by the Herrscher and collapsed on the ground. Didn't those two aunties save you?"

To be honest, Theresa owes Anti-Entropy a life, and Theresa herself knows this, so she doesn't intend to report Walter to her dear grandfather.

But that doesn't mean she can accept that people who reverse entropy can continue to be salary thieves and undercover agents!

But when Lao Yang showed the records of his withheld wages, even someone as thick-skinned as Theresa felt a little embarrassed...

Finally, Walter revealed that he knew some information and wanted to make a deal with Theresa, though Sora couldn't know what they discussed. However, judging from the outcome, everyone can just pretend nothing happened; Theresa even allowed Anti-Entropy to send a certain pink-haired fox into the academy as a liaison…

After the conversation, Theresa, with a stern face, refused Old Yang's suggestion to send everyone back to St. Freya by plane. Instead, after retrieving Judah, she pulled Qiong away from Anti-Entropy's temporary base.

"One thing at a time, one thing at a time... Watch out, there are assassins!"

The brains of the assassin struck by Judah spilled out, and even though he was smashed into a pulp, Theresa still managed to finish him off.

It seems Theresa was indeed very angry, but she took it out on the monsters along the way.

"Sora, how much do you know about Miss Yae who is about to enter the academy?"

"Not many, not many."

All I know is that she is Otto's nemesis, the designated final boss of "Kallen Fantasy".

"Aunt Ai said that she seems to be a pseudo-Herrscher, right?"

"A pseudo-law enforcer?!"

Theresa's Judas crashed to the ground.

The First Herrscher, Welt Yang; the Third Herrscher, Raiden Mei; and Sora, the quasi-Herrscher (Sora: I'm not), how many Herrschers are there in her small Far East branch? And now she wants another pseudo-Herrscher?

"My St. Freya isn't a Herrscher's den! That damned Welt, he didn't even explain that to me!"

Seeing Theresa's frustrated expression, Qiong didn't know how to comfort her.

I can't exactly go over and pat you on the head, then say, "You ran too fast, Old Yang didn't have time to say anything before you dragged me along," can I? Besides, there are many more Herrschers in St. Freya. In the future, this place will be the Far East Demon Cave, and Himeko's class will be a crash course for St. Freya Herrschers...

Forget it, I feel like Theresa will beat me to death.

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

"Were the cooperation terms we proposed to Ms. Theresa too few or too lenient?"

"Exactly! And you actually want to be a teacher at St. Freya? Walter, now that you've laid your cards on the table, why are you still insisting on staying there? Aren't you afraid Theresa will tell that bastard Otto?"

"Listen to me, gentlemen! I hope you can understand that Theresa and I will definitely be comrades-in-arms in the future, so there's no need to haggle over a little benefit now."

"Can……"

"Did you foresee something, Yang?"

Walter did not respond; he knew that the clever Ein would understand why he did not reply.

"Understood. I'll do as you say, Alliance Leader."

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

It was a long time before Helios, who arrived late, finally sent Theresa and Dome back to St. Freya.

"Sigh, Qiong."

Theresa tugged at the hair of Qiong, who was resting on the table.

"Yes, I'm here..."

Qiong, who was half asleep and half awake, woke up.

"We've arrived, let's go back to sleep."

After yawning twice, Qiong and Theresa disembarked from the spaceship together—if they had kept their promise to Lao Yang, the two of them would probably have been back long ago.

"Dr. Einstein sent me your combat log. I read it and it's very good. If it weren't for your lack of experience, you could definitely become an A-rank Valkyrie."

This is without the Valkyrie armor.

"Headmistress, I don't like the title 'Valkyrie.' Warrior, knight, or even male Valkyrie would be fine!"

"What do you know? This is tradition! Back in the day, our Kiana's father, Siegfried, was the strongest male Valkyrie in Schicksal..."

She is also the male Valkyrie with the worst reputation.

"That Kiana's father, or the guy who came up with the title, really has no taste."

"Alright, alright, stop complaining. You eliminated the pseudo-Herrscher this time, so I'll count your GPA as maxed out for this year, and I'll also give the scholarship to Professor Bai... Come with Kiana and the others in a few days."

"scholarship?!"

Qiong was drowsy when they tried to talk about anything else, but what about money?

Talking about money can make him, who doesn't have much money, incredibly energetic.

Qiong revealed a fawning smile.

"Headmaster, why do we need a setter? Just give it to me directly."

"No, no, you're a minor!"

"I'm an adult now!"

Who is that one-year-old child?

……

Watching Qiong's departing figure, Theresa strengthened her resolve.

We can't let Sora and Welt get any closer, otherwise that kid will be poached by Anti-Entropy sooner or later. After watching the video provided by Einstein, Theresa even felt that Sora might have been acting against her before...

Letting a high-level combatant leave from the Celestial Freya to Anti-Entropy is unacceptable to Theresa, both in terms of appearance and substance!

Should we consider giving Teacher Bai a raise?

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

"I'm back……"

As dawn broke, Qiong finally returned to Himeko's villa. With the key in his hand, he could keep his voice down without waking the three people who were still dreaming.

squeak---

The door wasn't locked, it was just ajar.

"That's strange. Did they not lock the door last night? Or did a thief break in?"

Upon opening the door, Qiong saw a Spanish duck sitting on the sofa playing video games.

"Bronya, what time is it? You're still playing games?"

Upon hearing Sora's voice, Bronya looked up.

“Qiong, Bronya has been waiting for you to come back.”

"wait for me?"

Qiong couldn't understand. If she had any questions, she could have asked during the day. Why stay up all night to wait for him? She was just looking for an excuse to stay up all night playing games!

That was what Sora originally thought, until Bronya reached out her hand.

"Give it to me."

"What?"

"What about the manga that Sora promised Bronya? It's time to keep my promise!"

"Forehead……"

"Have you forgotten?"

Damn, I completely forgot about that!

Bronya can forgive you.

Hmm, it seems that Duck is quite understanding. Qiong felt relieved.

"Thank you so much, I'll go see Uncle Yang tomorrow..."

Bronya held up two fingers.

"But you need to provide two copies of the latest Houmu manga signed by Teacher Walter, preferably unreleased ones! Bronya knows you can get them."

That's going too far! Although it's not a big deal, isn't a 100% interest rate for just one day of overdue payment outrageous? Even loan sharks don't charge like that!
