Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 127 Bronya's Investigation Report

"Quickly check the spaceship's condition!"

At Helia's shout, the two rushed to the spaceship's cockpit, where various warning lights were flashing incessantly due to the recent unexplained impact.

"It looks like the outer protective layer is damaged, but it doesn't affect navigation for the time being—that's strange, what was that just now?"

Although the Honkai reactor could explode or the oxygen chamber could leak and kill them both at any moment, Coralie continued her inspection at a leisurely pace. Seeing that Coralie was not progressing fast enough, Herria clenched her fists nervously.

"Could it be an alien warship attack? But why wasn't it detected before? Coralie, can you hurry? Do you need me to help?"

“Helia, first of all, please have confidence in my mechanical skills. My aunt, who is particularly enthusiastic about teaching, has taught me a lot about how to deal with emergencies. Secondly, if it were an attack launched by aliens, we wouldn't have had time to check the spaceship here, right? Alright, everything is normal!”

Just then, a series of noises came from the system.

"Warning! Hyperion 11 has deviated from its course! Change course immediately! Change course immediately!"

"Deviated from the flight path? Impossible! I clearly set it according to the predetermined flight path, it's impossible for it to deviate!"

Coralie's problem naturally did not receive an explanation from the system; the system simply repeated warnings.

Helia gritted her teeth nervously, now complaining about Coralie was useless.

"Regardless, let's try to correct the course and make contact with Earth!"

From space, one would see that the space around Hyperion 11 warped the instant it adjusted its course, followed by a flash of intense light. Once the light disappeared, the spacecraft returned to its intended trajectory.

"What exactly is that?"

The two looked at each other, Coralie full of curiosity, while Helia was on high alert.

"Let's make contact with the lunar base first."

For some reason, neither Earth nor the Moon has responded...

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

Bronya glanced at Raiden Mei, who was secretly flirting with Sora while not paying attention in class but was scolded by Himeko, and then looked at Kiana, who fell asleep as soon as class started, before looking away.

She always felt that ever since Raiden Mei confessed to Sora, the originally harmonious relationship between them had undergone some subtle changes.

It's not fair to say it's good or bad, but she doesn't really like this change. Kiana is still that silly Kiana, Raiden Mei is still that gentle Mei-neechan, and Sora...

It's still the same dome.

Thinking of this, Bronya took out her notebook, which contained her judgments on her own interpersonal relationships and investigation reports on certain people in the academy, such as Kiana and Raiden Mei, and of course, Sora.

Qiong, surname unknown, is suspected to be from China. She suffers from amnesia but possesses clues about Seele, and based on some circumstantial evidence, she seems to have a connection to Schicksal. She is strong in combat but her intelligence is only slightly higher than the dim-witted Kiana. She has a quirky and unpleasant personality but is generally kind. She currently lives at the home of Major Himeko Murata, a teacher at St. Freya Academy and captain of the Hyperion, and has a girlfriend, Raiden Mei.

This is the part that's certain; the rest, she basically can't understand.

Putting aside Sora's complicated interpersonal relationships, even though Bronya did a little investigation for Raiden Mei, she still doesn't know what Sora went through or who she knew before she lost her memory—don't misunderstand, she doesn't have a penchant for prying into other people's pasts. If it weren't for Mei, she wouldn't care about Sora's past at all.

Of course, there was also an element of Seele's involvement. Unlike Raiden Mei, who was blinded by love and ignored the recent events, Bronya had recently asked Sora about the identities of the two people who appeared at the end of the series. Under Bronya's persistent questioning, Sora only reluctantly replied with two names: Hanabi and Sambo Koski.

It doesn't matter if Bronya doesn't know Fireworks; the key is that when they mention "Big Sister Seele" Sambo Koski, Sambo says he's like something else, but unfortunately, Walter interrupts him.

Koski, that's a surname you can find in Eastern Europe, especially in Bronya's hometown. But if the "big sister" that man mentioned really is Seele… how does that frail younger sister resemble a big sister at all?

The trail ends here. This concludes the investigation report on Sora-Seele. Normal questioning methods are now ineffective. Sora can simply use anyone as a shield (like Kiana or Mei), and Bronya won't get any leads. She can't exactly lock Sora in a dark room and then use a powerful memory restoration spell on her Heavy Bunny, can she?

"Bronya, you should pay attention in class too! Honestly, why is everyone acting like this today?"

"Himeko-sensei, I'm sorry."

Bronya, who had been lost in thought, was brought back to her senses by Himeko's scolding—whether it was because someone was in love or because she was exasperated by Kiana's dense personality—and then she put away her notebook.

The only option now is to slightly infringe on Sora's privacy. For example, while Sora and Raiden Mei are together, I can sneak in and search the place myself. Although the chances are slim, what if I find clues about Seele?

drop by drop...

Sora's phone rang, diverting Himeko's attention away from Bronya.

"Qiong boy, keep your phone on silent during class. Don't you know that rule?"

"Brother Baiji, I have failed..."

Serapem, feeling down, sat by the bed, and Bai Ji felt sorry for her.

After all, Sera's depressed state reminded him of his younger sister, Ling, who had passed away long ago.

"Don't worry, little Sera. Your brother Baiji will definitely help you bring him back."

Theresa's meaning couldn't be clearer: she wanted him to step forward and be the bad guy who broke up the couple.

"Fine, I'll do it!" Although he was inevitably a little uneasy and conflicted, when he thought that he was doing this entirely out of love for his lovely and playful apprentice and the stability of his mindset, which was to sacrifice his own family for the greater good, Bai Ji felt that it was all worth it.

With that thought in mind, Bai Ji steeled his resolve and dialed Qiong's number.

"Hello, is this Qiong? It's your teacher."

Bai Ji paused for a moment, then uttered what he considered to be extremely cruel words.

“I’ve heard about your situation from the headmaster. You’re still young and shouldn’t be dating so early… As your guardian, I don’t approve of you dating.”

Just to be on the safe side, and to avoid an irreparable rift with this apprentice, it's best to expose Theresa.

After saying that, Bai Ji hung up the phone.

"Brother Baiji, thank you."

"It's nothing."

Serapem hugged Baiji, who responded with a wry smile.

Hopefully, the child won't react too strongly.

"Principal, the Science Department reported that they received a special Honkai energy signal from the South China Sea."

Theresa took the report from Yae Sakura and read it carefully; her eyes lit up.

"Great! This should be it! Himeko might be saved!"
