Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 79 Come on, let's duel!

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Even after school ended, Qiong still couldn't figure out what had gotten into this paramecium that she wanted to have a match with him. He really didn't expect that Kiana would bring up a match that he had casually agreed to today.

After greeting the others, Qiong arrived at the training ground, where Kiana, with her back to him, had been waiting for a long time.

"You've arrived."

"Yes, I'm here."

"You shouldn't have come!"

"Okay, then I'll go."

Heaven knows what Kiana was thinking, but since she'd already said that, Sora decided to turn around and leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go! Little Grey, didn't you and the class monitor always say, 'Since we're already here, you're not allowed to leave!'"

Kiana's shout forced Sora, who had intended to take the opportunity to escape, to turn around.

"Kiana, we've been through thick and thin together, why do we have to fight?"

Kiana stood with her hands on her hips, looking annoyed.

"Precisely because I am your big sister, I am determined to have a showdown with you, my little brother!"

If we win, will Sister Qi become Brother A-Chong's little brother? Qiong is amazing.

The moment to turn things around has arrived!

"I like Mei, you know that, right?"

Qiong nodded; anyone with a little discernment could see that.

Thus, the naive and innocent young lady Raiden Mei made her first real friend, thinking that this was probably a "normal contact" between girls.

"But Mei, she told me she likes you a little!"

"what?"

Sora scratched her head, a little bewildered. "No way? Raiden Mei likes him?!"

"That idiot Kiana!"

By hacking into the high-definition camera in the training grounds configured by St. Freya and using her own "little button," Bronya witnessed the entire process of the two's conversation.

Although there are few people in the training ground, it's not just the two of them. If Kiana makes such a fuss, they'll probably be number one on the trending topics list tomorrow!

"Bronya, are they both alright?"

Raiden Mei couldn't hear the sound from her headphones; she could only see Kiana's anger and Sora's astonishment on the screen of the device Bronya had temporarily found.

She didn't want her best male and female friends to get hurt because of her fighting.

"Mei-neechan, the situation is extremely critical! Bronya suggests taking the strongest possible measures to stop them!"

"What measures?"

"Reporting to the teacher, or preferably the headmaster."

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

"Anyway, if I win, you can go tell Mei that you only see her as a friend!"

"What if you lose?"

Kiana crossed her arms and shook her head.

"Impossible! If I lose, I won't eat Mei's fried chicken for a week!"

Qiong laughed in exasperation. So you're not willing to suffer any loss at all?

"How about this, if you lose, you can't call me Gray Hair, you have to call me Master Qiong, okay? Also, let's make it clear beforehand, let's stop here."

After all, Kiana's firearms can be deadly.

"Sure, by the way, I use rubber bullets!"

The two got into position, but Kiana, impatient and agitated, launched the first attack.

That's reckless, far too reckless. Qiong believes that if he were Kiana, he would never have attacked with bare hands. "You, Kaslana, may be strong, but I'm not weak either," she thought. "Besides, why not use a gun when you can use one?"

A barrage of punches came flying at Qiong, who dodged them constantly, occasionally retaliating only by blocking with his baseball bat.

"Mu Da Mu Da Mu Da!"

Kiana grew increasingly anxious as she fought, not expecting Sora to be so agile, making it impossible for her attacks to land.

Suddenly, Kiana stopped fighting.

"Hey, you dead gray hair! What kind of hero hides and dodges? If you've got the guts, fight me fair and square!"

"No, as long as we win, that's all that matters. Who on the battlefield talks about being fair and square?"

"You forced me to do this!"

Kiana drew her dual pistols and began firing at the sky. But the effect... well, if it wasn't Kaslana's gun-fu melee technique living up to its name, then Kiana was just being soft-hearted and holding back. She was practically a master of drawing lines on a human body!

Of course, you still have to dodge when necessary, as getting hit hurts quite a bit. Qiong dodged while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Accept!"

Kiana attacked first again. Gunfighting is essentially close combat, but it gave Sora an opportunity. After dodging Kiana's left leg, Sora used her baseball bat to poke Kiana in the back of the head.

"Your wide-ranging attacks have too many weaknesses, and relying solely on brute force is too slow. I've hit you!"

Kiana paused for a moment, then shouted, "No, no, this is just the beginning!"

"Hey, getting hit in the back of the head is already a loss, isn't it!"

"No, I haven't shown my true abilities yet!"

He didn't take it. If he were serious, the rules would be broken.

It seems the entanglement with Kiana will continue indefinitely until she completely defeats her, so there's no other way. Sora changed her strategy. Simply dodging would easily defeat the enraged Kiana, but it wouldn't calm her down, so she'd have to fight her head-on! Not wanting to injure her, Sora impulsively charged at Kiana, and the two instantly began to wrestle.

"Oh my, you're pretty strong? But I'm... despicable! You dead gray hair, don't you dare pull my hair!"

"Kiana, who told you to have such long hair? And no teeth allowed!"

"I'll use it!"

The duel, for some reason, saw both sides abandon their weapons and turn into wrestling.

"You pervert, where are you touching?! You bastard!"

"Aaaaaah! Let go! Let go! My hand is going to break!"

"What are you two doing?!"

"Aunt Himeko?"

"Himeko-neechan!"

The two stopped fighting immediately upon hearing Himeko Murata's threat.

Himeko frowned as she looked at the two men, who were covered in bruises.

"Tell me, who started this? Fighting here without permission is outrageous! Whatever the conflict, it must be resolved peacefully. Do you hear me?"

"But Aunt Himeko, we agreed that the outcome of the battle would decide...some things..."

Kiana, feeling inexplicably guilty under Himeko's glare, began to speak softly.

“It’s fine to spar in the training ground, but is that really sparring? I’ve never heard of anyone fighting on the ground like that! It’s indecent! Stop, or you’ll all be put in solitary confinement.”

Kiana and Sora exchanged a helpless glance and had no choice but to agree.

Of course, Qiong, who had gained a significant advantage, believed that she should still be Qiong Ye (Master Qiong).

Himeko left quickly, and Sora felt it was better to confirm her victory.

"Kiana, I beat you in one game before, so let's say I won this round."

Kiana was stunned, but quickly refused.

"You were just lucky that time, neither of us won! You didn't lose, and neither did I! Next time, next time I will definitely beat you! I will definitely take Mei away from you!"

With that, Kiana turned and left angrily. Qiong watched her departing figure and shook her head helplessly.

You broke your promise and cheated! You'll lose again next time, won't you? Are you planning to get yourself a Valkyrie armor to bully me?

Sigh, it seems like it really could work.

"Sora-kun, do you like Kiana more or Raiden Mei more?"

When did someone arrive?

Seeing that Qiong looked troubled, another girl asked a different question.

"Don't ask such embarrassing questions, ask something practical! Qiong, how did you dodge Kiana's attacks just now? That was so cool!"

This question is easy to answer.

"No, she's slow, I just dodged her easily."

"Don't be modest! How did you develop such a fast reaction speed? Teach me!"

Is his reaction time really that fast? How come he doesn't know it himself?
