Honkai Impact 3rd: The Girl Who Chases the Flame

The two of them spoke in unison.

“...My name is Nino, not Woman.”

Nino's forehead veins bulged, but she quickly suppressed them; it seemed she was still an impolite fool.

"Nah...woman!"

Qianjie pondered for 0.1 seconds, then gave up.

"Are you... human?"

"..."

Nino's flawless expression shattered because of the man's few words.

"what?"

"I asked you, are you human? You...you...woman!"

Qianjie repeated it again.

"This fool... Excuse me, sir, in what way, what part, what aspect of me is not human?"

Nino's forehead veins bulged, and this time there was no going back.

She had never seen such a rude person!

"That's why I asked you, oh..."

Qianjie felt he hadn't conveyed his meaning. Remembering what Möbius had said about trends, he nodded.

"Chimera! I'd say you're like a chimera!"

Hopefully, the message has been conveyed this time.

"strange……?!"

"Click".

Nino felt like a string in his head had snapped.

"What the hell?! You stupid pig-like gorilla man! How do I look like a chimera?!"

"Huh? You look just like it, you bastard! Who are you calling a gorilla?! Woman!"

Qian Jie was furious. He rarely spoke to people properly, and he had never seen such an unreasonable woman before!

"Huh?! Huh?! My name is Nino! Use your less than 3kb brain capacity to imprint this name deep in my brain! Although your IQ is not even as good as an Australian gorilla! Even the penguins in the Arctic glaciers are smarter than you!" (Penguins are actually in Antarctica)

Nino roared.

"Huh?! You want to die?! Woman!"

Qian Jie was enraged. He made up his mind to tear this woman to pieces right now.

"You're asking for it, you polar bear man!"

Nino's temper suddenly surged past its limit.

"What does that mean?! What strange things have you been saying since the beginning?!"

Although Qianjie couldn't understand what she was saying, he was definitely provoking him!

"Go look at an animal encyclopedia! Even elementary school students know the differences between the four major schools of thought these days, right?! Honey Badger (the honey badger of the animal kingdom)!"

"You?! Who said I'm an animal, woman?!"

Qianjie finally understood, and his anger surged once more.

"I'm talking about you, you sunfish!"

"What is that?!"

.........

"Is this...is this a couple arguing?"

"No, it's too imposing..."

"Maybe so. Look at that pretty young lady, she only uses animals to insult people. Maybe it's a nickname."

"Then, can that be considered a nickname?"

"Look, the man wasn't even that swearing. It looks scary, but it's just a couple arguing." (The Thousand Tribulations Society doesn't use much swearing.)

"So that's how it is, the big guys scattered?"

"That's true, but they're right in the middle of the street..."

.........

"..."

Qian Jie had exceptionally good hearing.

"..."

Nino, whose hearing is also quite good.

"Come this way, woman!"

"I told you not to call me 'woman'!"

Nino pressed his temples, barely suppressing his anger, and followed Qianjie away from there.

The two walked until they reached a secluded spot, then simultaneously let out a cold snort.

"What exactly do you want? It doesn't look like you're trying to pick me up."

Nino crossed his arms and clicked his tongue impatiently.

"Pick up girls? What's that? It's completely irrelevant. You, that look in your eyes, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Qianjie curled his lip and said.

"what?"

What an old-fashioned way to start a conversation... Although that's what I'd like to say, it doesn't seem like it.

"I mean, that scumbag look in your eyes, I'm sure I can't be wrong. Who are you?"

Qianjie squatted on the piled-up wooden crates, looking down at Nino.

"..."

I thought he was an idiot, but he's so sensitive?

"I am nobody, and I don't want to be anyone."

Nino said coldly.

"Nobody? This is the first time I've heard that answer."

"What do you want to know? Name? Resume? Measurements? What's the point of knowing those things? Are you the kind of person who would be interested in the life story of a character in a play?"

Nino said coldly,

“You’re a madman, I can tell at a glance. A madman like you doesn’t need to ask such a superficial question.”

“A remarkable answer. I’m starting to get interested in you, Ni… Ni, Nira.”

Upon hearing this, Qianjie's attitude softened considerably.

"It's Nino!"

Nino almost lost her temper again. This was the first time she had ever seen such a chaotic man. Compared to him, even the homeless from the bottom of society had more logic.

"Is that enough? I'm leaving."

"Wait a minute."

"what?"

"My name is Qianjie."

Qianjie said calmly.

"...It seems that only the name suits my taste."

Nino pursed his lips and walked away without looking back.

The next day

The fusion warriors of the Fire Moths stared in horror at Qian Jie, who was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

100 Questions about the Animal World

Honey Badger Edition —

"The honey badger is silly because it is afraid of nothing and dares to mess with anything. It is the most fearless animal in the world and is known as the 'honey badger'."

Lions, leopards, and cobras—animals that strike fear into the hearts of other species—have all been considered its rivals. It has little concept of strength; it's all about fighting first and worrying later. This is also why there are so few honey badgers in its population.

"Tear!"

"Woman! I won't let you get away with this!"

Chapter 71 Imer sensed something was wrong

"Miss Melutina."

As Melutina walked down the corridor carrying a stack of documents, a man called out to her.

"Hmm? Oh, it's Imre. What's up?"

Melutina looked at the man who had been imprisoned repeatedly for assassination but had eventually become the adjutant of the man she had assassinated.

In a sense, he was indeed very suitable to be Qianjie's adjutant.

"Um... have you heard the recent rumors?"

Imer hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Rumors? What rumors?"
