Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 105 How to form a team in the future?

Anna Schariac, to be honest, this person and the Herrscher of Ice she became—the Herrscher of Meteorite—belong to the most vague group of Herrschers in Qiong's memory...

The reason is simple: would you remember a character who disappeared at lightning speed, seemed to have never appeared in any events, basically just getting beaten up in the Memorial Arena, and barely even showing their face a few times?

A more profound impression, however, came from Cocolia, the Mother of Illusions. They were so alike—both wore masks, and no one could tell who was beneath them…

"From now on, I will be your superior!"

Regardless of what Qiong is thinking, she has to deal with the situation now.

"Hello, Anna Shaniat! Please take good care of me these next two weeks!"

Anna's pink pupils seemed to dilate slightly, and her smile widened a bit more, indicating that she still liked being called "senior."

"Oh, don't call me senior. You're a B-rank Valkyrie too, just call me Anna! I don't have any experience mentoring juniors, but... but if you want to call me senior, that's fine too... let's get to know each other at the base first."

Anna led the way, with Qiong following behind. Qiong thought Anna was quite happy, but Anna herself knew that she was more nervous than anything else.

I have no experience. Although I'm considered one of the better B-rank Valkyries and plan to become an A-rank Valkyrie in a couple of years, what is he? He's a genius male Valkyrie from the Far East Branch! The only thing I might have over him is my experience of becoming a Valkyrie at the age of twelve.

"Senior, your hat fell off."

"Ah, thank you..."

To be fair, while other people's outfits looked mismatched, Anna's black beret looked alright.

"Qiong, I heard you participated in the Third Great Honkai Impact a while ago?"

From Anna's perspective, surviving the Third Great Honkai Impact was truly remarkable. Although she was at the same level as Sora, her three years as a Valkyrie had primarily consisted of fighting Honkai Beasts and zombie assassins, and she had absolutely no experience participating in large-scale Honkai events—it was best to avoid the Great Honkai. Out of curiosity about this kind of Honkai event that only existed in training, Anna couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I was involved."

"Can you tell me what a Herrscher looks like?"

"Herrschers, just like us, have two eyes and a mouth. At first glance, they are just ordinary human girls."

It's impossible to reveal Raiden Mei's identity, so let's reveal Sato Yuno's identity instead. After all, a pseudo-Herrscher is still a Herrscher.

"However, she can extend many extremely thick and poisonous vine tentacles from her body. Those soft things poison those around her by blooming, and then wrap them up with the vines, sucking the life out of people or zombies..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Are Herrschers really that disgusting?"

"Disgusting?"

But he didn't describe it as 18+. If he tells Anna about the first time he saw a person turn into a death warrior at Changkong Wall, will the girl throw up?

It's caused by having an overactive imagination.

If that's the case, then it's terrifying. Anna may be a B-rank Valkyrie, but her mental resilience is too poor, isn't it? She can handle small-scale Honkai attacks within her comfort zone, but what about large-scale Honkai attacks? Wouldn't she be terrified?

After all, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl who was two heads shorter than him...

Wait, so he just called a little girl "senior"?

"Let me tell you about our group... There were originally three people in our group, but unfortunately, the other two went out together today to carry out a mission to exterminate Honkai Beasts. I'll introduce them to you when they get back."

As they walked, Anna continued her introduction.

"Due to the needs of combat, our Snow Lotus Squad has recently been splitting into two Valkyries as a combat unit for each operation, with each group of three being deployed. From now on, you will be going on missions with me. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

It seems the Snow Lotus Squad is indeed short-handed, and given that the frequent Honkai attacks aren't particularly strong, they've resorted to the expedient measure of splitting into three-person teams. By changing from three-person teams to two-person teams, they were barely able to handle the Honkai incidents along the coast.

"A three-person team..."

When the topic of the three-person team came up, Qiong was a little worried about what she would do in the future.

Without a doubt, given the relationships between the members of St. Freya, even if Theresa doesn't ask, Qiong will proactively request that the three starter families form a team. And what about herself? She can't possibly have a fourth person in a three-person team, can she? But she's barely interacted with any of her classmates except for the immortal, and she's barely even talked to her deskmate!

Given his interpersonal relationships, how will he form a team in the future without breaking up the three main teams?

"Um... are you still listening?"

"I'm here, I'm listening! Are there Honkai Beasts from the sea too?"

Putting aside distant worries, let's look at Anna right now. Qiong had never heard of a large number of Honkai Beasts in the ocean; could it be a swarm of assault-class mosquitoes?

"Probably. We tried requesting headquarters to send someone to investigate the Honkai energy core of the marine Honkai Beasts, but the result was..."

Judging from Anna's expression, it goes without saying that she either felt quite defeated or was still investigating.

“We’ve tried several times, but the situation at sea is complicated, and the seawater also hinders our detection. In addition, some Honkai Beasts seem to have the ability to hide their tracks, so every attempt to track them ends in failure.”

Just then, the final note of their mission suddenly sounded.

"Emilia, really! She's only been here a short time and she's already assigning missions. Come with me!"

And judging from the markings, there are quite a few this time.

Anna looked serious and started jogging with Qiong.

"Qiong, quickly change into the Valkyrie armor, we must set off immediately."

"But this is my Valkyrie armor!"

"what?"

Anna was stunned; she truly hadn't realized that this Valkyrie armor was Valkyrie armor...

Because it doesn't look like it.

Somewhat skeptical, Anna reached out and touched it, discovering that what looked like a trench coat was actually a fake two-piece outfit.

"It's definitely the Valkyrie armor's texture, but why did you design the Valkyrie armor to look so...retro?"

What era are we living in? Who still uses the fake two-piece design?

"Because that designer is an elder who is at least fifty years old..."

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

"Ah sneeze!"

"Auntie, do you have a cold?"

Kiana, who had just finished making a scene by demanding to use Sora's room but was refused by Theresa, rushed over to show her concern.

"Sigh, I don't know who it was that thought of abandoning me, an empty-nest old woman, to go to some boy's room. If she could give me a break, how could I be so exhausted and sick that I caught a cold?"

Just as Bronya had predicted, Kiana had already started thinking about taking over his room after only one day of Sora's absence.

But Bronya believed that boys' rooms must contain boys' secrets, and she absolutely could not let Kiana, that idiot who wanted to get close to Mei, get the right to use Sora's room. Otherwise, who knows what would happen? She had to nip any potential crisis in the bud for her comrades. This was a soldier's dignity!

In Theresa's opinion, Kiana might actually have a crush on Sora, so much so that she would sneak into his room under the pretext of getting closer to her friends as soon as Sora left... Niece, that's illegal!

"Oh, Auntie, look, Aunt Himeko has a spare room, might as well use it!"

Theresa laughed. She had even more empty rooms here. What? Her pink, girly room with its Houmu-style decor was still inferior to Qiong's room, which basically just had a bed, cabinets, a table, and a computer?

"Okay, okay, staying out all night isn't how a good girl should behave."

Theresa remained patient with her niece, employing a policy of appeasement—an appeasement policy was necessary…
