Rosmontis, standing nearby, looked left and right, feeling that the current situation was incredibly profound yet inexplicable... and then she started clapping.
Ifrit helplessly glanced at Zima by the door, who seemed on the verge of a mental breakdown.
"Don't mind her, she's often a bit crazy, but if you need her, she's quite reliable..."
Looking at the situation in the room, if she hadn't been trapped inside with no escape, she wouldn't have wanted anything to do with Kanna at that moment—it was too embarrassing.
Kanna's pose just now was so awkward that Ifrit almost used her toes to bore a hole through Rhodes Island's floor.
"Let's go, don't keep the instructor waiting, or we'll probably get lectured again. Rosmontis, stop clapping, it's time to go!"
Pulling Rosmontis, who was still clapping, with one hand, dragging Zima, who was utterly stunned, with the other, and enduring Dahlia who had bounced onto her head, Ifrit quickly escaped Kanna's small room.
She glanced at Popukar, who was staring at her with an excited expression, then looked at Ifrit and her group, who had already left.
Alright.
The moment Kanna struck the pose, she too felt a surge of embarrassment, but at that point, she was committed, so she had to grit her teeth and see it through.
However, now that only Popukar remained, she stopped posing.
But Popukar, still clearly excited, nudged Kanna's shoulder, "Kanna, Kanna! Does my pose look like yours!"
Kanna turned to look at Popukar, and for a moment, she felt Popukar was possessed by Rikka... "So embarrassing..." Kanna covered her face and crouched on the ground.
After a while, she stood up again.
"Don't make that pose anymore... come help me catch bugs!"
Popukar immediately scurried over to the table, inspecting every nook and cranny around it, only to find it impeccably clean. She then asked with wide, questioning eyes,
"Catch bugs? Where are the bugs!"
Kanna handed her a stack of reports, "I always confuse 'zai' and 'zài'. Help me see if there's anything that needs to be changed!"
???
"Zai? Zài?" Popukar held Kanna's notes, feeling her eyes glaze over. Words she thought she knew suddenly became utterly foreign. For the first ten minutes, she managed to persist, diligently searching for characters she couldn't comprehend. In the end, she simply collapsed onto the table and fell fast asleep.
Seeing Popukar asleep, Kanna's eyebrow twitched, and the corner of her mouth curved upwards. "Done!"
If the other person kept playing nearby, Kanna wouldn't have the mind to continue writing notes, but after Popukar was defeated by the text hypnosis spell, Kanna suddenly felt she could do it.
By the time Popukar woke up again, Kanna had already written several more pieces.
For the next few days, Kanna and Popukar mostly sat together watching new animated films sent by Amiya... because Kanna had finished writing all the summaries and reports in just two days and handed them to Amiya.
At the time, Amiya was startled, thinking that being confined had driven the child mad. Kanna had to talk her out of calling a Doctor.
One day, Kanna, who was watching "Feline and Zalark," suddenly sensed a life form with immense power entering Rhodes Island.
God? Or a demigod?
Kanna stroked her chin... She had felt this sensation from Kashchey; it was the unique aura possessed only by beings bearing the name "God."
She closed her eyes, her consciousness drifting out of her body, emanating from the enclosed space, and reaching out towards the other party's location.
At Rhodes Island's entrance and exit, a young and vibrant figure was just coming in through the entrance.
The inspection personnel picked up the pass the other party handed over, frowned, and then passed it to Captain ACE, who was present.
"A visitor? A Nian from Yan! Doctor Kal'tsit specifically mentioned you this morning. Welcome to Rhodes Island. Doctor Kal'tsit has already prepared accommodation for you. After you've settled in, someone will take you to see her."
ACE took the other party's information handed to him by the team member, glanced at it, nodded, and then personally handed a visitor's badge to the other party.
Even though the other party appeared very young, ACE showed her sufficient respect.
Because any visitor personally approved and signed off by Kal'tsit must possess exceptionally outstanding abilities in some area. Although Rhodes Island primarily focuses on aiding the Infected, due to the landship's independence and its unique characteristic of traversing various countries, high-level external talents often come to Rhodes Island for technical exchange.
"Hi! Hello there!" Just as ACE was about to personally escort her to her temporary lodging, the young girl named Nian suddenly looked up and waved towards a certain spot above her head!
ACE looked over and only saw the cold, bare wall. He turned to look at the earnest girl and couldn't help but shake his head. It was normal for these top talents to have some quirks, but greeting the air was a first... ACE felt he should mention this to Kal'tsit later; he thought the other party might need to see Perfumer for a psychological assessment...
When her consciousness permeated the area, Kanna recognized the person upon seeing her; it was Nian, Rhodes Island's first limited Operator and one of the fragments of the Yan deities.
And Nian clearly noticed Kanna's "peeping," and, not minding at all, waved back at her.
Kanna counted on her fingers; today was the last day of her confinement. Tomorrow, the cute dragon would be unleashed, and then she would go play with Nian.
After Nian followed ACE to put away her belongings, a girl who introduced herself as Folinic, Kal'tsit's student, came over. She said Kal'tsit had already prepared a meal for her in the cafeteria.
Hearing Folinic's words, Nian was very happy, her eyes narrowing into slits.
"Let's go, let's go! There really hasn't been anything good to eat all the way from Lungmen; I feel like my taste buds have dulled..."
Although Folinic seemed reserved, Nian didn't mind at all. She casually slung an arm over Folinic's shoulder, acting like old buddies, which almost startled Folinic speechless.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Nian's face fell as she looked at the table full of dishes.
"I say, Kal'tsit, I've been traveling through Yan, braving the elements, and this is what you treat me to?"
Folinic, standing nearby, looked at the dishes on the table: steamed perch, cumin-spiced feather beast legs, stir-fried bamboo shoots... The availability of these dishes was due to the diplomatic cooperation established with Lungmen, which led to many Infected from Lungmen moving in. Only then did Rhodes Island have such a rich variety of Yan cuisine, and these dishes were also very popular among Rhodes Island Operators.
However, the young girl named Nian was clearly not very satisfied with these dishes.
"Although Yan cuisine has a hundred flavors from a hundred regions, these are some of the best-selling dishes here on Rhodes Island."
Nian, speechless, glanced at the expressionless Kal'tsit sitting there, seriously suspecting that she was doing this on purpose.
