Kanna looked up, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the woman's prominent figure.
"An arch-nemesis!"
Looking down at the two words on her chest, Kanna felt that this person must be her destined rival.
Although she didn't know what the Young Dragon was thinking, she clearly sensed that the Young Dragon's first impression of her wasn't good, so she decisively gave up on recruiting her.
"S.W.E.E.P. Administrator, Ascalon. Reinforcements will arrive here in five minutes…" After speaking, Ascalon turned and walked out.
By the time Kanna walked to the door and looked out, the other person was long gone.
"Strange big-breasted woman, Ascalon… Oh! I remember, the head of SWEEP, just like Logos, very high-class." Kanna hugged her dragon horns and thought for a moment before recalling her memories of Ascalon.
Soon after, a team of Operators rushed towards Kanna's location.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Kanna was unharmed, then turned to look inside, finding several people sprawled on the floor.
"Are these all of them? Is it possible that some of those who left slipped through?" Although they trusted Kanna's strength, they were still worried that she might have missed someone.
"Don't worry! I observed for a while and only made my move after catching all the bugs!"
Noticing that the Operator in front of her didn't quite trust her, Kanna quickly patted her chest, assuring them that she hadn't missed a single bad guy.
After they tied up and took away all the unconscious people, Kanna didn't go back to report the mission.
It wouldn't matter whether she reported it sooner or later, and what if she got a new mission as soon as she went back? She was just a Young Dragon and didn't want to start working 996 so early.
Even if Kal'tsit asked, she could say that she felt uneasy about someone she had let go earlier, so she secretly observed them for a while.
Of course, as for why she observed them in the restaurant or other places~
Well~ it's normal for a child not to know the way, isn't it?
As Kanna wandered around, she noticed a strange gray shadow following a few Rupo people.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Red.
Speaking of which, although she and Red were neighbors, they had only met that one time.
And at that time, she could easily sense Red's presence, but now, if she didn't deliberately look for her, she might easily overlook her.
It seemed she had made significant progress during this time.
Kanna only knew that Red was very interested in Rupo tails, but she had never personally witnessed her "hunting."
Curious, she quietly followed her.
After a while, a Rupo girl separated from the others.
She was smiling as she walked towards the rest area, unaware that a "Wolf Hunter" was lurking behind her, ready to pounce.
Suddenly, she stopped and looked at a nearby dessert shop, a conflicted expression on her face, as if considering whether to go in and enjoy a dessert.
Just then, she suddenly felt a chill… Then her tail was grabbed, and the person even started pulling her tail without permission.
She let out a cry of "Ah!" and, with a flushed face, looked behind her, discovering it was a little girl.
This immediately put her at ease.
Although the feeling of her tail being pulled wasn't great, seeing a little girl was undoubtedly a much better outcome than seeing a greasy old man.
Seeing the other person turn around, Red pulled down her hood, ready to flee the scene of the crime.
However, when she turned, she found a little dragon girl grinning and blocking her path.
"Wow! What are you doing?"
Kanna hadn't expected the scene to be so exciting; was this something a Young Dragon should be watching?
"Red, hunt, tail, reward, pat!"
Realizing her escape had failed, Red had no choice but to stop.
At this moment, the Rupo girl looked at Red with a puzzled expression, then a look of understanding dawned on her.
"You're the legendary person who, like a ghost, pulls the tails of the Rupo tribe all over Rhodes Island, aren't you?
I heard from my seniors that Rupo tribe members on the ship must avoid walking alone because they will be followed by a mysterious person and punished by having their tails pulled… I didn't expect the mysterious person to be such a cute girl! But it's not good to touch someone without their permission!"
Kanna noticed that the girl also had the Rhodes Island Operator insignia, but she was a trainee Operator.
"Sorry, Big Sister, I'll apologize on her behalf. How about I treat you to dessert?"
Kanna pulled the girl and Red towards the dessert shop. As for the reason… naturally, she wasn't allowed to enter alone… but now with two people, it didn't count as being alone.
"Eh, eh…" The Rupo girl was pulled inside, looking bewildered.
Once inside, Kanna saw the approaching waiter and declared grandly,
"All desserts, one of each, send the bill to Kal'tsit!"
"Uh… we can't possibly eat all that, can we?" The Rupo girl expressed a slight reservation.
"Hmm? Don't be shy, order whatever you want; Kal'tsit is paying anyway." Kanna tilted her head, confused. What "we"? She was only ordering for herself.
After all, even with desserts, different people have different preferences, and she wouldn't be so presumptuous as to take charge for people she had just met and didn't know well.
"???" The Rupo girl was completely flustered; one of each for three people would probably make them burst in this dessert shop… And the bill would go to Doctor Kal'tsit… Oh my, as a small intern doctor, she wouldn't dare let the head of Rhodes Island's Medical Department pay for her.
"Red?"
"Desserts, strong smell, not good for hiding!" Red smelled the shop and seemed a bit hesitant.
"Oh, you're already here, have some! You know, desserts are food that makes people happy."
"Red doesn't need it; hunting and tail-patting are already very happy." When tail-patting was mentioned, Red's tail wagged with excitement.
"Then try it, just one bite?"
Thinking about handing the bill to Kal'tsit, if she were alone, Kal'tsit might not accept it, but Red was Kal'tsit's "pet dog." With her there, Kanna's freeloading plan could succeed, so she kept coaxing Red.
Realizing she couldn't escape, Red obediently sat down and opened her mouth to accept Kanna's feeding.
The Rupo girl initially felt very happy watching the scene in front of her, but gradually the scene became a bit off… mainly because Red said she was full after eating a few pieces, and then one by one, the desserts disappeared into the mouth of the child named Kanna.
According to her calculations, conservatively, the amount of dessert Kanna ate would last her a week for three meals a day.
She had thought about paying before, but at the current price, she would probably have to sell herself to the dessert shop to afford it.
Forget it! One option was selling herself, the other was the bill going to her leader; both were bad endings, so the girl didn't care anymore and just slumped onto the sofa—giving up.
