Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 408 A Transfer Order

"Mei, I want some too..."

Kiana grabbed Mei's small hand and opened her mouth wide, gesturing for Mei to put the spoon in her mouth.

"Okay, okay, I just can't do anything with you."

Mei smiled helplessly and gently brought the spoon to Kiana's lips. Kiana glanced at Sora and then swallowed it in one gulp under the watchful eyes of Sora and the others.

Hmm... mainly because she felt that with Qiong looking at it like this, the curry rice tasted even better.

"Hehe, Mei's cooking is still the best!"

Kiana squinted, savoring the taste of the curry, then opened her eyes to find that Sora still had that ambiguous smile on her face.

What, is Dead Ash jealous?

If Qiong could hear Kiana's thoughts, she would probably burst out laughing: Jealous? Who would be jealous of a husky?

"Dead Ash Fur, do you want to eat it too?"

"No, no. I'm not interested in curry, especially bell pepper curry."

Bell pepper curry is not a good thing in any sense...

Qiong suppressed a laugh and glanced at Himeko, who was sitting next to her with a stack of beer cans, eating curry with beer and looking slightly tipsy.

"Besides, we just had dinner, didn't we? You're probably the only one who wants to eat more after that."

Kiana, who thought that Sora was suffering for the sake of saving face, chewed with satisfaction, making muffled sounds.

"Oh, you know how delicious Mei's curry rice is! Usually, only Dad can stomach the food Auntie makes..."

Qiong Shen agreed, saying that Yae Sakura's work was only slightly better than Theresa's.

"Kiana, please don't say that."

Mei gently tapped Kiana's head.

"I believe the headmistress was definitely putting a lot of effort into cooking, but..."

"However, it seems that the headmaster thinks that no food other than bitter melon is good."

Suddenly, Seele interrupted the conversation, leaving Bronya behind and walking over with her own rice bowl in her arms.

Kiana nodded vigorously when she heard Seele's words.

"That's right, that's right, Auntie's cooking is really terrible! Only Dad can eat Auntie's cooking without even blinking, while I have to snack to recover... Indeed, being a secret agent requires a strong will—"

"Brother Qiong, Xier can't eat anymore, could you help Xier eat..."

"Ok?"

Everyone looked at Seele and the bowl in her hand: she had barely touched that bowl of rice!

Perhaps because everyone was looking at Seele, her eyes looked like fogged blue crystals, and her voice was so soft it barely came out of her throat.

"Xier is full, Brother Qiong, can you help Xier? Xier can feed you!"

The spoon trembled slightly in Seele's fingertips as she carefully handed the rice, coated with curry sauce, to Qiong.

Before Qiong could even speak, Kiana became excited—this was an opportunity!

"Hey? Seele, are you...?"

Kiana was cut off by Mei with a spoonful of freshly made curry before she could finish speaking.

At the same time, the sound of a game controller hitting the floor came from the corner of the living room.

The sound wasn't loud, but the entire living room suddenly fell silent.

Bronya, who had finished eating and was playing games long ago, floated up behind Qiong at some point. Her gray eyes seemed calm at first glance, but they gave off a faint chill. Bronya looked at Seele's spoon hanging in mid-air, then at Qiong's astonished expression, and finally her gaze fell on Seele's reddened ear tips.

"Seele".

Bronya's voice was flat.

"Brother Qiong has already eaten his fill. You can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do."

Using the Heavy Bunny, Bronya floated across the sky and, upon reaching Seele's side, naturally took the bowl and spoon from Seele's hands before floating to the dining table.

"But Bronya can still eat, there's no need to trouble Brother Qiong!"

"Ah, it's so good to be young..."

Himeko, who had been sitting quietly at the table drinking beer with a flushed face, suddenly chuckled. She shook the can in her hand, her eyes sweeping over everyone with a hint of amusement before finally settling on Sora.

"Even eating a meal can be such a hassle... hiccup... Qiong boy, have you thought about how to end this?"

"The end? What end?"

In response to Himeko's question, Sora immediately stepped back behind Mei.

"My dear Himeko-neechan, please stop stirring things up like a troublemaker. I'm still a baby..."

"Baby?"

Perhaps she was drunk, and Himeko, who loved watching the drama unfold, immediately opened her arms.

"Oh my, such a big boy still calls himself a baby... hiccup... Qiong baby, come to Mommy's arms, if you don't want to eat, Mommy will give you milk..."

Qiong's brows furrowed, forming a deep frown.

Without a doubt, Himeko was drunk again.

"Himeko-sensei, you're drunk."

Mei looked helplessly at the only adult present—Himeko's drinking frequency had decreased sharply since the successful stigma transplant. It was probably because she lacked the ability to build up her alcohol tolerance through continuous drinking. Now, she was prone to getting drunk and acting crazy if she drank too much.

What does that mean? The most recent time was last week when Siegfried had a drinking problem and asked Himeko to drink with him. The two of them drank the wine that Siegfried brought and soon got drunk. Himeko started crying and complaining that she couldn't find a man and started acting crazy while drunk...

She herself had no clear understanding of this.

"Hey—Mei, are you jealous?"

Himeko squinted, shook the empty beer can, and then reached for a new one next to her.

"What's wrong with a mother loving her son...?"

"Aunt Himeko!"

Kiana finally managed to swallow the curry, her cheeks puffed out as she shouted.

"Wake up! That gray-haired guy isn't your son!"

"That's exactly what I meant."

Qiong couldn't help but rub her forehead, sighed helplessly, and walked towards Himeko.

"My dear Himeko-neechan, please don't lower my status, let me pour you a glass of water..."

No, please!

Himeko, whose brain seemed to be numbed by alcohol, dragged out her words and simply slumped onto the dining table, turning her head to look at Seele, who was hiding behind Bronya.

"Oh? Is baby Seele shy? Come here, let Mommy see..."

"Huh? hope-Xi'er?"

Seele, who was instigated by a certain unnamed Ms. Seele, was also at a loss for what to do with this sudden development. She looked at the water pourer, then at the drunken Himeko, and finally looked to Bronya for help.

She has Cocolia's mother (although she's currently in jail and will probably never be released). How should we respond to that?

As for Sora himself, he only felt a chill run down his spine. Himeko usually liked to tease young boys like him, not to mention his drunken antics.

Just as he was pouring water, Himeko actually stood up unsteadily, opened her arms, and walked towards them.

"Hehe, come give me a hug—"

"Ugh?!"

Qiong was so startled that she jumped back and almost bumped into the cabinet behind her.

"Himeko-sensei, you really should rest... Sora, lend a hand."

"Mei is so naughty, being too possessive isn't good..."

Himeko mumbled incoherently, but her body honestly leaned against Sora and Mei, who had arrived just in time.

Mei and Sora exchanged a glance and, in perfect unison, lifted Himeko up from either side.

"Kiana, help clear the table. Bronya, keep an eye on Kiana! Seele, go help Kiana!"

At Himeko's house, Mei demonstrated her command, and everyone immediately sprang into action.

"oh oh!"

Kiana quickly agreed and began clearing away the dishes.

"I'm not drunk..."

By the time the two of them had finished dealing with Himeko, Bronya had already quietly finished Seele's bowl of rice and placed the empty bowl by the sink.

The minor incident seemed to have subsided. Game sound effects returned to the living room, but Mei remained troubled.

"Sigh, there's a lot of leftover food today..."

Looking at the few plates of curry on the table that had barely been touched, and the extra curry that she had made thinking that Sora and Kiana hadn't eaten and was still in the pot, Mei suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Oh, right, Kiana, I'm leaving it to you! You thought the curry rice was delicious, why don't you take some back with you? So the headmaster and Siegfried can have some too."

Kiana thought this was a good idea. Not only did she like it, but her stinky old man had been running around these past few days, so he must have been eating whatever he could find.

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

Siegfried felt like he was going crazy; he never imagined that one day he would have to worry about ethical and moral issues.

Is this the result of his sins?

Although, according to his observation, Kiana's attacks were mainly directed at Mei, and most of her attacks on Sora were feints, Siegfried still seriously considered the possibility that Theresa was right...

Then, it seemed like only a few seconds had passed before the plane he was on arrived at the Far East branch.

Because his mind reacted to the above situation as... complete blank.

In any case, after several hours of sailing, late at night, Siegfried descended the gangway and returned to St. Freya, which he had only left a few days earlier. Theresa and her secretary, Miss Yae Sakura, were already waiting for him.

Seeing Siegfried come out, Theresa immediately decided to send Yae Sakura, who insisted on coming with her, back to sleep—she couldn't sleep until things were cleared up today!

"Siegfried, you're finally back!"

Theresa rushed forward anxiously.

Have you thought carefully about what I'm telling you?

Theresa gestured towards Yae Sakura, who was inexplicably wearing the same maid outfit as Rita, and winked at Siegfried—Siegfried understood that this was a family matter that should not be aired in public, so how could he let an outsider like Yae Sakura talk about it?

Therefore, Siegfried simply rubbed his temples and smiled wryly.

"Theresa, this is really... well, to be honest, I still can't quite believe it."

Maid version of Yae Sakura stood quietly to the side, holding a hand warmer. She had some doubts in her heart but didn't ask—don't ask, because it's just the maid rules taught by Rita.

Although she was extremely interested in the riddle between the two, she only said one sentence.

"Headmaster, Mr. Siegfried, it's chilly at night. Would you like me to prepare some hot tea?"

Theresa shook her head.

"No, no, it's so late, Yae Sakura, you should go back and rest too! Siegfried and I have something to discuss."

"Ok."

After performing the maid's bow, Yae Sakura turned and gradually disappeared from their sight.

Siegfried watched her disappear before speaking quietly with Theresa.

“Theresa, I’m checking again. This is no joke! Are you sure you’re not mistaken? Kiana… she really does have feelings for Sora…”

"I saw it with my own eyes, and there's CCTV evidence to prove it!"

Theresa stamped her foot in frustration.

"Kiana used some hair clip to pin Sora down on the sofa earlier, and the position was just..."

Theresa made an indescribable gesture, and Siegfried felt a throbbing pain in his temple.

“There’s something even worse.”

Theresa took a half step closer and lowered her voice even further.

"I checked the security footage tonight, and guess what I saw? Kiana was actually crying and wailing to Sora about something, and I felt like she was lip-syncing..."
