Chapter 208 The Vanished Himeko
Why are you... staring at us like that?
Danheng and Sunday exchanged a glance. They had several guesses in mind, but they still needed to verify them.
"In March, you will contact 'other people'."
Danheng stepped forward and separated March 7th, Kiana, and the other two.
"okay."
Although he had some doubts, he quickly went to contact other people.
Faced with the hostile girls, Dan Heng gripped Ji Yun tightly with his right hand: his intuition told him that the three girls in front of him were no ordinary girls, and he could even vaguely sense the ruthlessness unique to Guan Xue. He should be on guard.
"Hello, we are travelers from afar, and the purpose of our visit is—"
"Hello, so you're Danheng!"
The girl, who bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Huang Quan, the Envoy of Nothingness, showed no hostility and proactively extended her hand to Dan Heng as a gesture of friendliness.
"I've long admired your name, and I've often heard Qiong mention you..."
Okay, that's confirmed. Their hostility is directed at March, not Sora, and that Sora is most likely their Sora. But Mr. Walter needs to confirm further, though he knows Himeko...
"Observe a corner and infer three others".
Danheng suddenly said something out of the blue and made a gesture to Sunday. Sunday understood what he was about to do.
After doing all this, Danheng responded to Mei's friendly attitude.
"Nice to meet you. May I ask who you are?"
Dan Heng noticed that Mei kept glancing at March 7th, who was making a phone call behind her.
"Raiden Mei, the Valkyrie in reserve for Schicksal, is also the girlfriend that Sora acknowledges!"
Danheng: ?
"impossible!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Dan Heng immediately made a judgment. The Qiong he knew didn't have any romantic feelings. Although he did have extraordinary friendships with some girls on various planets, the only ones he could truly call "ambiguous" were a certain Star Core Hunter whose whereabouts were unknown and March 7 behind him!
"Oh? Mr. Qiong is in a relationship?"
Everyone loves gossip, even the former head of the Oak family, Sunday. So, if Sora is dating and has a girlfriend, then all that Pinocchio's rumors about Robin and Pioneer's secret relationship were just baseless, right? (If he weren't a fugitive, this kind of gossip column that spreads fake news and stirs up public opinion every day would definitely be shut down.)
"Mr. Danheng".
"Feel sorry."
After saying it was impossible, Dan Heng keenly noticed that Mei's enthusiasm had subsided considerably.
"Yeah, it's nothing."
On Sunday, it seemed that after Dan Heng apologized, the girl named Raiden Mei had reverted to her previous attitude—was she trying not to leave a bad impression on Sora's friends?
"Are you friends from Qiongjia, from Shenzhou?"
Dan Heng nodded silently. Since they had chosen to prioritize saving people and temporarily conceal their identity as extraterrestrial visitors, they should not tell the truth until their goal was achieved.
"Mei, Bronya, come quick! That gray-haired guy took a picture with Aunt Himeko and Teacher Welt sometime ago!"
"Idiot Kiana, isn't your reaction time a bit too long?"
"Bronya, can't you say something nice? Just look at yourself and you'll see!"
Bronya shook her head, feeling a bit heavy and restless for some reason.
Maybe it's because of that pink-haired girl?
"Alright, alright, let Bronya take a look!"
Bronya leaned closer, looked at the photo of Sora, March 7th, and Danheng Walter, and then gave Kiana a look that said she was an idiot.
"Idiot Kiana, where's Himeko-sensei?"
"Ugh?"
Rubbing her eyes, Kiana realized that the beautiful and elegant Himeko in the photo... was gone?
"How is that possible!"
Kiana couldn't believe her eyes; she was sure she had seen it before!
"I clearly saw a Himeko-san who was very different from usual!"
"Himeko is very different from usual..."
Bronya seemed thoughtful; perhaps Kiana wasn't lying.

"Seele, can you let go of me?"
"I'm sorry, Seele was just trying to hold onto something..."
Just as Qiong had predicted, gaining Bai Xi'er's trust was far easier than gaining Hei Xi'er's. When Bai Xi'er realized that Qiong could see and touch her and that she knew Bronya, she unleashed an unprecedented willpower, actually suppressing Hei Xi'er?
Then, Sora had a humanoid accessory named Seele (but no one could see it, and Seele gave Sora nothing more than a tactile sensation).
To be honest, Qiong could understand Seele; she was incredibly insecure. After all, Seele had been adrift in the sea for so long, and besides her obsessive feelings for Bronya and the "shadow" she was born with as a source of emotional support to keep her from collapsing, she had nothing. Now that she had grasped at him from the sea—a lifeline that offered her tangible comfort—how could she possibly let go? Even though he himself was in dire straits.
But this can't go on forever. Qiong can't accept having a quantum ghost grabbing a certain part of her body while she's sleeping, nor does she want to wake up to find Hei hope holding a scythe and pointing it at her... If things go wrong, she might end up eating the scythe in her dream.
To be even more pessimistic, the reason I was able to come into contact with Seele is not because I am special, but because I am being gradually assimilated by the Sea of Quanta and am about to become a quantum ghost like Seele. This is not a good thing!
In conclusion, to avoid the possible tragedy of the Black Seele killing the Sky, or the possibility of him turning into a star or becoming Seele's "kind," we must run away as fast as we can!
How can we escape the Sea of Quanta? Qiong turned her gaze to Bai E, who was slurping noodles with Bai Yan.
……
"Bai'er, are you almost there for your girlfriend's workplace?"
"It's coming soon."
Riding in a car driven by Bai E, Qiong and the others, whose view of him was unseen, Xi'er, were heading to a research facility under the jurisdiction of Schicksal, where they would meet Bai E's girlfriend, Lei Yingdian.
"Brother Qiong, could you tell me more about Sister Bronya?"
"Let's talk about it later."
He kept talking the whole way, and given what had happened before, Qiong felt that Bai E's gaze towards him had become filled with pity—an alien stranded in Weiming City who had suffered a mental breakdown and was hallucinating because he couldn't go home.
If they continued chatting with thin air, Qiong had reason to suspect that Bai E would consider sending him to see that "Dr. Su" later.
"I'm sorry, Seele asked too many questions..."
Qiong looked at Seele, who was tightly gripping his forearm: her hair fell down, obscuring her eyes, and she dared not look directly at Qiong. If he let go, Seele would be unable to make contact with matter and would leave the car, appearing out of thin air on the road.
"What are you apologizing for?"
Where Qiong couldn't see, Hei hope hung upside down from a high place, the scythe in her hand reflecting bloody light.
"You just want to know how your sister Bronya, whom you've been thinking about day and night, is doing. What's wrong with that?"
"But Brother Qiong seems very tired..."
Bai hope had a feeling that Hei hope seemed to be very resistant to Qiong, but why?
"No need to apologize, Seele."
Qiong tried to comfort Seele—there was no way around it, although Black Seele was dangerous, the soft and cuddly White Seele was just too cute!
“I know you’re eager to know a lot of things, but there are other things too, which I’ll tell you little by little. Okay—Bai’er, what are you doing!”
Just then, the car suddenly began to shake violently.
Bai Er tried to keep the steering wheel steady, but the small car turned all the way to the left and crashed into a telephone pole.
BOOM!
An airbag deployed from the driver's seat, and the powerful impact pushed Bai Er back into his seat, preventing a tragedy.
"White Calamity!"
Qiong, who was in the back seat, was fine because he had fastened his seatbelt, but he had a bad feeling and quickly got out of the car to check on Bai E's condition.
"Oh no, they're here!"
Seele shrank back into Qiong's arms in fear.
"What's this? Seele, isn't this just a regular traffic accident?"
Qiong gently comforted Xi'er, but just as Qiong was comforting Xi'er, a three-meter-tall quantum shadow suddenly appeared in the middle of the road.
"What the hell?"
The chariot-class quantum shadow jolted forward, and more traffic accidents occurred before Qiong and Xier's eyes, with some cars even being completely crushed...
"There's Honkai here too?? I thought this world didn't have Honkai!"
Qiong casually pulled out her baseball bat, realizing she was in for a busy day.
