Under the Rupo girl's listless expression, Kanna calmly finished all the desserts served, politely thanked the server, and then the three of them walked out the door.
"Red, go train, hunt."
After leaving, Red, uncharacteristically, bid farewell to Kanna.
"Mhm! See you next time!" Kanna, full and content, waved goodbye to Red, then slipped away while the Rupo girl was still in a daze.
Kanna, who had wandered all the way to the upper district, was originally planning to play in the Greenhouse and catch up on some sleep, but she bumped into Scout on the way.
He was walking towards the outer layer with Chang Xie, and Kanna immediately called out to him.
"Hi! Uncle Scout, where are you going to play! Take me with you!"
Even though she knew he was definitely heading to the Lookout Tower for a shift change, Kanna deliberately asked.
Seeing Kanna's eager expression, Scout pointed to the gate, "Want to go out and play? You can, but you have to agree to a few conditions!"
"Okay, okay! Name your conditions!" Kanna's eyes lit up as soon as she heard she could go out.
"First, you must not leave the Lookout Tower, and you must not leave my sight without permission.
Second, if you get bored and want to leave, you must return indoors under supervision and not linger outside.
Third, you must promise to follow instructions."
After understanding her for this period, Scout knew that diversion was better than obstruction.
After all, with Kanna's strength, it would be very easy for her to sneak out, as the gate couldn't stop her at all.
But she had never used such methods, which showed that she still largely adhered to the rules.
So, when he saw Kanna wanted to go out and play, he agreed.
"Okay!" She had originally planned to go to the top to see the scenery, but a few previous times, due to various issues, she hadn't fully enjoyed it.
And after the last incident, besides following a group of people for skill tests outside, she hadn't had a chance to go up the Lookout Tower.
This time, with Scout taking her up, she decided to be well-behaved and not cause any trouble.
After all, if a child occasionally played a harmless prank, it might amuse adults, but being constantly mischievous would be very annoying.
Following obediently behind Scout, the group smoothly completed the handover with the Operators on duty at the Lookout Tower.
The people who were there before Kanna came up were startled, as the title "Rhodes Island's Hungry Dragon" was already well-known among the Operators.
But seeing that Scout brought her, they relaxed, knowing that if the sky fell, there would be taller people to hold it up; since the captain brought her, any problems wouldn't fall on them, the small soldiers.
Kanna sat at the top, looking at the surrounding scenery, and couldn't help but sigh.
Such a vast expanse of barren land with only wild beasts surviving on it was something she had only seen on television before; this was her first time observing it so closely.
"Want to play a game?" Scout handed Kanna a bottle of juice and then sat beside her.
"Wow! You're not working seriously and playing games; I'm telling Kal'tsit."
"…You little brat, believe it or not, if you dare to tattle, I'll go tell Outcast about your recent mischief.
Kal'tsit will at most criticize me a bit, but you'll get your butt spanked by Outcast."
He didn't expect this little brat to take his kindness for granted; he was trying to find some fun for her so she wouldn't be too bored, but she backstabbed him instead.
"Hmph! Only an adult would tattle!" Kanna took the juice, chugged it down in a few gulps.
Given that the juice tasted good, she decided to forgive Scout, letting bygones be bygones, and it definitely wasn't because she was afraid of Outcast.
"What kind of game is it?"
After their playful bickering, Kanna looked at Scout, who wasn't holding anything, wondering how they would play a game.
"Hmph hmph! As snipers, our strongest asset is our eyes.
The game is to find a nearby landmark, describe its approximate appearance and general direction, and then the other person searches for it.
The time limit is ten minutes, and whoever finds the landmark described by the other person first wins."
After Scout finished speaking, Kanna couldn't help but smile.
Her eyes had an extremely long visible range; she could clearly see an ant nest several kilometers away.
For Scout to compete with her in eyesight, winning would be too easy.
"Okay, then for the first round, I'll take the left side, and you take the right side."
With that, Kanna got up from the ground, stood on her tiptoes, and looked outside.
Soon, she spotted two Originium Bugs dueling on a small hillside.
That spot was about three to four kilometers from the landship.
Although there were no obstructions, an Originium Bug was only about the size of a normal person's head.
Even with equipment, finding these two dueling Originium Bugs in such a large area would be very difficult.
Moreover, the surrounding environment also had strong distinctive features, so she wasn't afraid that Scout would cheat and name a random place.
Soon, the two exchanged positions and information.
Scout's information for Kanna was a crooked tree with a red cloth hanging on it.
At first, Kanna fell into her usual habit, thinking Scout would choose something very far away.
She looked up for a long time but couldn't find it.
Finally, as time was almost up, she withdrew her gaze, preparing to concede, when she suddenly realized that the crooked tree was less than a hundred meters directly below the landship.
This infuriated her.
Scout, this bad guy, actually tricked a child like her; he was simply inhuman, a demon.
No, Scout was Sarkaz, so he was a demon; then it was fine.
On the other side, Scout was also sweating profusely.
The information the little brat gave him was two Originium Bugs dueling on a small hillside.
He searched within three kilometers of the landship but didn't see any trace of an Originium Bug.
It couldn't be that Kanna was lying to him, could it? Was it further away?
With this doubt, Scout looked further into the distance and finally found the two dueling Originium Bugs just before time ran out.
"Holy crap, is this 'dueling'?" Kanna didn't understand the Originium Bugs' actions; she only saw two bugs continuously colliding and instinctively assumed they were dueling, but in reality, it was a scene of Originium Bugs mating.
He glanced at Kanna, deciding not to tell her about it.
However, he was also extremely shocked, because he felt that the distance was already about four kilometers.
Kanna could clearly see the actions of two Originium Bugs at such a distance, which meant she was naturally cut out to be a sniper.
After all, a sniper could practice technique and skills, but eyesight was fixed by physical constitution.
Without equipment assistance, a person who could see farther and clearer was more suitable to be a sniper than someone who could only see nearby.
Thinking about the rumors that many Elite Operators had considered taking Kanna as an apprentice, he was actually a bit tempted himself.
