Within the temporary office of the Rhodes Island Young Dragon Management and Safety Committee
"What has Kanna been doing lately?"
"Since her last punishment of cleaning, that little one has found a new game. Every day, she carries a large broom and roams around the ship, eagerly running to clean up any trash she finds on the ground. It's fortunate that Rhodes Island is large enough; a full circuit takes almost an entire day."
After the last incident, Outcast, who had been idle, voluntarily took on the role of Kanna's manager. She also obtained temporary authorization from Kal'tsit for Ptilopsis, allowing her to track the Young Dragon's location and movements through the ship's surveillance and cameras.
Hearing Outcast's words, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
After being "fully charged," Kanna's spirits had always been extremely high, which was why she caused that "accident" on the bridge. Having such a lively, energetic little one who loved to run around and was also extremely powerful had caused the group a lot of worry.
To properly manage and guide the Young Dragon's life and personality, with Kal'tsit's approval and Amiya's leadership, the Young Dragon Management and Safety Committee was established, including a series of Operators such as Outcast, Scout, and Red.
Fortunately, ever since her last incident, Kanna, to avoid drawing too much attention and jeopardizing her plan to blend in with the outcast convoy, stopped causing trouble. However, to prevent appearing unusually low-key, which might also draw attention, she came up with a plan to "dedicate precious sleep to Rhodes Island's cleanliness."
Relying on her excellent physical condition and high spirits,
she spent her days wandering around Rhodes Island.
Thankfully, everyone on the ship had heard of the Young Dragon's "glorious deeds," after all, having an apology letter read over the intercom to the entire ship was a first in Rhodes Island's history.
So, whenever they saw her, everyone would greet her with a smile, and those more familiar would even offer her food.
Kroos even reported to Kal'tsit that since the Young Dragon joined Rhodes Island, snack sales had increased by 30%, which showed how adept the Young Dragon was becoming at scrounging for food.
That day, Kanna, as usual, was swaggering down the corridor with a broom on her shoulder when she suddenly noticed several members of A1 Team standing fully armed nearby, chatting.
She scurried over,
"Hi! Fang, Kroos, Beagle, Hibiscus, Eyjafjalla, are you going on a mission?"
Looking at Kanna, who was running over with her short legs, Fang gently tapped her forehead and said with a hint of excitement,
"Yes, I heard that Elite Operator Logos made some discoveries in Laterano. Instructor Misery has already led a team to provide support, and our A1 Team, the tactical reserve group, has also received a mission to go to Laterano as a reserve and logistics support team to assist the operation there."
Kanna froze for a moment after hearing Fang's words. Laterano, A1 Team—wasn't this the incident where the silly dog Cerberus came to the island?
Thinking of this, she understood why Cerberus, when tired and hungry, would attack A1 Team in the story. It turned out they were in charge of logistics and must have carried a lot of food.
Given Cerberus's honest and straightforward nature, with a pile of food in front of her and being desperately hungry, she naturally wouldn't care if anyone was nearby.
Just as A1 Team was finishing organizing their equipment and preparing to leave, Kanna grabbed Fang's hand. "If you encounter a dog that looks a bit simple-minded, don't fight her. Just use food to trick her. Remember, do not try to confront her head-on."
???
Fang looked at Kanna with a bewildered expression, not knowing what she was talking about.
"No need to understand, you'll know when the time comes. Also, remember to bring her back!" Seeing Fang about to speak but hesitating, Kanna put her finger to her lips and shushed softly, then, with a mystic-like demeanor, turned and disappeared from Fang's sight with a "da da da!" sound.
After returning to the team, the others asked what Kanna had told her. She shook her head. After all, Kanna's words were unclear, and combined with her unreliable appearance, Fang naturally wouldn't relay Kanna's riddle to the others.
As she walked, Kanna began to worry. When Cerberus arrived, plus herself, who "couldn't eat too much," Rhodes Island would probably face a severe food crisis.
But she quickly dismissed this worry because she saw a familiar face.
It was a young girl she had met during the large-scale cleaning of Rhodes Island these past few days. At that time, she had shattered an entire pane of glass due to losing control. Kanna happened to be passing by, and upon hearing the sound, she scurried over.
After discovering the girl had lost control, Kanna easily pinned her to the ground until she regained control.
When Kal'tsit and the medical team arrived after receiving the news, they only saw Kanna kneeling on the ground and Popukar "enjoying" a lap pillow.
After learning that Kanna could easily control her, Popukar became Kanna's little follower. The two of them wandered around Rhodes Island together. Several times when Popukar showed signs of mental abnormality, Kanna acutely noticed and controlled her, preventing further damage.
Coincidentally, Kal'tsit was pleased with this situation, letting the two little ones restrain and help each other, which saved her a lot of trouble.
Seeing Popukar, Kanna quietly walked over and gently patted her shoulder.
By the time Popukar turned her head, Kanna had already circled behind her.
Popukar, seeing nothing, turned back in confusion, only to find Kanna standing in front of her with a grin.
"Ah! Kanna!" After a startled jump, Popukar, realizing it was Kanna, happily hugged her.
Hmm, control still needs improvement.
After feeling the monstrous strength that could choke an adult man unconscious, Kanna nodded involuntarily.
This was already much better than before.
Although Popukar also possessed monstrous strength completely disproportionate to her size, she lacked the corresponding control. Coupled with the intermittent loss of control caused by oripathy, she had almost no friends her age within Rhodes Island.
So, when Popukar learned that Kanna could suppress her, she recognized Kanna as her own kind and cherished their friendship deeply, always giving Kanna a hug that would make any lolicon swoon whenever they met.
However, as Popukar learned with Kanna, her control over her strength grew stronger. Now, only when excited would she experience some loss of control; normally, she no longer accidentally damaged items within Rhodes Island.
For this, her current teammates, the other members of tactical reserve group A6, were also very grateful to Kanna.
Especially a certain dog, although the two little ones often squeezed his hand, curious why it was so different from others, he never got angry about it. Instead, he would smile and amuse the two little ones.
