Transforming Into Kanna on Terra

Not long after, an underling walked over, holding a large Originium slug with a look of disgust.

"You, throw that Originium slug into that pool of water," the leader said to his subordinate when he saw him return.

Although his subordinate looked confused, he didn't dare disobey his boss. Besides, even though the distance to the water was twenty to thirty meters, throwing an Originium slug wasn't difficult for him.

With an arc, the Originium slug landed accurately in the water. Before the subordinate could even celebrate his successful shot, he saw the leader's expression turn extremely grim.

As if making a firm decision, he crushed the cigarette he had just lit, completely unconcerned about the sparks burning his palm.

"Listen up, everyone. I've decided to abandon this mission. If you trust me, follow me back."

With that, he got into his car without hesitation.

The others in the group couldn't help but exchange glances.

While some were tempted by the mission's reward, they also trusted their leader implicitly.

Their strength wasn't particularly high among the many mercenary groups, but their leader's judgment was always accurate. It was under his leadership that this not-so-strong mercenary group could survive and even thrive on Terra.

Since their leader didn't want to explain, no one asked further. After all, their leader had his fair share of secrets.

Before leaving, the subordinate looked back at the water. The Originium slug was nowhere to be seen. Only a few glittering Originium fragments remained in the pool.

Once, after a night of heavy drinking, their leader brought this up and told them that during the great war in Kazdel, Princess's faction had a certain Caster who could melt anyone they fought into a pool of liquid...

After Kanna and her group left the canyon, they encountered no further obstructions. However, for safety's sake, the Outcast didn't drive directly back to Rhodes Island. Instead, they took the team on a long detour around the border of Columbia before successfully returning to Rhodes Island.

When the convoy arrived at Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit, having heard the situation from the Outcast, had already arranged for a special passage. Amiya, skilled in mental soothing, was sent to meet them.

As the convoy drove into Rhodes Island, Kanna sensed a problem with "Rosemary's" emotions, likely "reactive trauma" caused by the previous "medical" treatment.

Fortunately, Kanna had held Rosemary's hand the entire way from outside to inside. So, despite a slight emotional fluctuation, it didn't cause the same level of destruction as the first time.

Soon, the car door was opened, and Amiya's donkey ears poked in from outside.

As Amiya entered, she saw the Feline girl nervously watching the outside like a little squirrel.

With her empathetic abilities, Amiya easily infiltrated the Feline's fragile, nervous, and tense mind.

Using her Originium abilities, Amiya quickly calmed the Feline. Then, she and Kanna each took one of the Feline's hands and led her out of the car.

Kal'tsit, watching from not far away, nodded at the situation. Having a general understanding of the Feline's condition, the medical team members present had, under Kal'tsit's arrangement, removed and hidden all equipment related to the "Doctor." Thus, upon exiting the car, the Feline saw no "White Devils" around and breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the Feline and other child-like individuals were settled in separate resting areas within Rhodes Island.

Touch stood before Kal'tsit, calmly recounting her judgment based on her observations of the Feline during this period.

Kal'tsit and the experts from Rhodes Island's medical department who had arrived looked grim after hearing Touch's words.

Firstly, they were shocked that Columbia harbored such a depraved physician.

Secondly, if the Feline's psychological trauma couldn't be healed, not only would treatment and diagnosis be impossible, but the safety of the participating doctors would also be compromised. After all, with their mortal bodies, they couldn't withstand the terrifying ability mentioned by the Outcast and Touch, which could flatten the surrounding ground by about ten centimeters indiscriminately.

A short while later, Amiya entered. After hearing what had happened, Amiya appeared furious, but she managed to control her emotions well.

Afterward, she discussed the matter with Kal'tsit and confirmed that it would take at least two to three months for Amiya and the medical experts to help her alleviate her stress, guide her in controlling her magic, and wait until she could control her emotions and no longer harm others before proceeding with further treatment.

The others in the medical department also agreed with this plan.

After Kanna and Amiya escorted the Feline to her room, the Feline quickly fell asleep due to the tension and exhaustion from the journey.

Amiya left first. Kanna, after confirming the Feline wouldn't wake up, quietly slipped out and closed the door.

Upon exiting, she turned a corner and saw a young girl with red eyes looking at her.

Kanna sheepishly touched her horns, then walked over. "Popukar, there you are!"

"Waaah! Liar!" Upon hearing Kanna's words, Popukar's suppressed emotions instantly collapsed, and she burst into tears.

A man dressed in extremely flashy attire emerged from the shadows nearby, sighing as he watched Kanna comfort Popukar.

"If you're going out on a mission, you should at least tell us! Popukar came looking for you and found you gone, then she ran all over Rhodes Island like a madwoman. She hasn't said a word to us these past few days. Spot is so worried he's almost lost all his fur. Thankfully, we heard you were back not long ago, otherwise, Popukar would have driven us all crazy."

Kanna felt a pang of guilt looking at Popukar crying her eyes out. Yes, if it were her, and a friend she'd finally met suddenly disappeared without a trace, she'd probably be sad for a long time, let alone Popukar, who was young and not yet fully mature.

She stroked the other girl's forehead. Once Popukar had cried herself out, Kanna took a clean white handkerchief from her pocket and wiped away the tear stains and snot from Popukar's face.

"I'm sorry! Next time, pfft! There won't be a next time. If I go out on a mission, I'll tell Popukar first, okay!"

Hearing Kanna's promise, Popukar finally stopped crying and smiled. The tension that had been building up for days finally eased. She took Kanna's hand, leaned her head on Kanna's shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Recommend this... no~~~ Should be clinging to a big shot's new book~~~~~~

Lawyer Simulator: Starting with a Partner Fleeing the Law Firm

[I am a lawyer, and the content of this book is adapted from my real experiences.]

Fang Ming worked at a law firm in a first-tier city. One day, the firm's director went bankrupt due to investment failure and could no longer afford the high lawyer fees. He told Fang Ming, "Our firm has taken on over 800 cases this year, and none of them have been completed yet. How about you finish these cases, and I'll give you a 30% commission for each one?"

Because the regional bar association was undergoing its annual review, Fang Ming was forced to accept this arrangement and began contacting the case parties, only to find that they were all rather troublesome cases.

Case One: Betrothal Gift Dispute

A client came to him, saying he was about to get married, but the bride's parents told him, "Engagement fee of 10,000, betrothal gift of 100,000, and another 400,000 is required to get the marriage certificate. Otherwise, you'll never enter our family. Lawyer, how should I handle this?"

Case 2: Mass Participation Incident

The client, a student, came to us one day. He said he had been chatting with someone on a platform and they hit it off so well that they arranged to meet privately. After drinking quite a bit, someone suggested they meet up again, and they ended up at a hotel for some "mass participation." The next morning, the woman demanded 400,000 yuan from the man, claiming it involved criminal offenses. "Lawyer, how should I respond?"

Case 3: The Mistress Incident

The client is a housewife. One day, she discovered that her husband had been keeping mistresses, not just one, but several, and had spent tens of millions of yuan over several years for them. Furthermore, one of the mistresses repeatedly came to her home demanding a divorce. Unable to bear it any longer, she came to us asking, "Lawyer, what should I do?"

Chapter 44: Sweets Are Better When Shared

In the afternoon, at a dessert shop, Kanna, Popukar, Amiya, and "Rosemary" sat around a small table with a large cake in the center.

Knowing that a very fragile child would be present, Blue Poison, the pastry chef, didn't go for her usual "color art." Instead, based on a very "exquisite" abstract painting by Kanna and her description, she made a very cute beckoning cat cake.

While Blue Poison was making the cake, Kanna remembered her promise to treat the Feline to dessert. Unsure if the other party was in a suitable condition, she took Popukar's hand and ran to the Medical Department to ask Kal'tsit.

She happened to see Amiya there too and asked if she wanted to join.

Seeing Amiya's cautious and longing look when she heard about dessert, Kal'tsit sighed inwardly, wondering if she had been putting too much pressure on her. She then gave Amiya the afternoon off to spend time with Kanna and the others.

As for the Feline, considering that few people on the island could subdue her without harming her or others, and Kanna and Amiya were among them, Kal'tsit also agreed to Kanna's request. Based on the Feline's physical condition collected while she slept, her body was somewhat weak, mostly due to mental stress and malnutrition during this period. Eating a little dessert would not affect her condition and might even improve it.

When the three arrived at "Feline's" residence, she was sitting there quietly.

Seeing Kanna and Amiya, she rarely showed a smile.

Kanna introduced Popukar to her again. As children of similar ages, they quickly became friends.

Led by Kanna, the group finally arrived at the dessert shop. Blue Poison, who had been waiting, pushed a large cake in front of the four of them.

Smelling the rich aroma of wheat and sweetness, they all involuntarily swallowed.

Amiya had heard about Blue Poison's pastry skills before but had never tasted them. Now, with the cake placed before her, she felt immense happiness just from the aroma, even before taking a bite.

With Blue Poison's help, the cake was cut and served on individual plates.

Sitting opposite them, Blue Poison also smiled sweetly as she watched the four of them eat their desserts with happy expressions.

"Um, does little Feline have a name?" Blue Poison asked curiously after they had finished eating.

Hearing her words, Feline's previously happy smile dimmed.

"I'm sorry, I... I can't remember..."

Seeing her growing sadness, Blue Poison immediately realized she had said the wrong thing.

As she was racking her brain for what to do, Kanna gently wiped the cream from Feline's lips and then licked her finger clean.

"Didn't you say you could choose a title after coming to Rhodes Island? It's okay if you forgot your old name. Since you have a new life, why not choose a new name... I remember there's a flower whose language means 'erasing the sorrow of memories.' In ancient myths, that magical plant could make people who couldn't face their memories brave in the end. I think this flower suits you perfectly. How about you be called 'Rosemary' from now on?"

Feline was stunned for a moment after hearing Kanna's words, then broke into a smile and extended her small hand. "Hello everyone, my name is Rosemary. I hope to be your friend."

Kanna and the others all shook her hand. "Hello Rosemary, from now on we are good friends."

Kal'tsit, who had been standing outside worriedly, leaned against the glass door. She had far more information about this Feline than anyone else. Seeing the happiness in her smile, she couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile. "Rosemary? A good name."

After finishing their desserts, as the group walked out, they saw Kal'tsit standing not far away with her arms crossed.

Seeing Kal'tsit, Amiya immediately snapped out of her lethargy and walked nervously to Kal'tsit, asking softly, "Dr. Kal'tsit?"

"Just passing by."

Saying that, she walked over to Feline. "Well... Rosemary, is it? Your physical condition isn't too good, don't play too wildly with them."

"And Kanna, if I recall correctly, you and Popukar have check-ups tonight, don't forget."

With that, she turned and walked into the alley.

"Wow! Big Demon King, nya nya nya~" Only after Kal'tsit disappeared around the corner did the group involuntarily breathe a sigh of relief. Kanna made a face at the empty corridor.

It was too scary. Kanna felt like she was back in school, playing with classmates, and suddenly bumping into the homeroom teacher.

"No, don't say that. Dr. Kal'tsit is actually a very kind person, she just has a stern tone of voice," Amiya said, waving her hands and defending the departed Kal'tsit.

"Where do we go next?" Amiya asked after everyone had recovered from Kal'tsit's intimidating presence.

"How about the flower room? Sister Lena's flower room has so many beautiful flowers. Sister Lena said we can play in the flower room anytime as long as we don't harm the flowers."

Kanna suggested, raising her hand.

Everyone agreed with this suggestion, and they headed towards Lena's greenhouse.

On the way, they encountered Ace. Seeing Ace, who looked much thinner than before, Kanna asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with Uncle Ace?"

After Ace had walked away, Amiya said softly, "It's all your fault, Kanna."

???

Seeing Kanna's bewildered look, Amiya sighed and continued, "When you sneaked out before, Ace and his team were in charge of security at all the checkpoints that day. Because of this oversight, Dr. Kal'tsit punished him by making him clean all the toilets on Rhodes Island for a month."

Saying this, she glanced at Kanna again, and everyone understood what Amiya meant.

"Heh heh!"

Hearing this, Kanna could only inwardly apologize to Uncle Ace. At the time, she only thought about sneaking out to complete the mission and didn't consider the trouble it would cause for the personnel on duty.

Seeing Amiya's helpless expression, Kanna clasped her hands together. "I promise I'll never sneak out again. I'll go apologize to Uncle Ace later."

"Alright! It's not entirely your fault either. We never expected Rhodes Island's surveillance to have such a huge loophole. Closure has been working non-stop to rearrange all the in-ship monitoring to prevent this from happening again."

Chapter 45: A Rare Daily Life and Skill Improvement

As they talked, the group arrived at Lena's greenhouse.

Lena was initially a bit nervous seeing so many children come to her greenhouse, worried they might damage the flowers. But upon seeing Amiya at the front, Lena relaxed.

After all, Amiya, as a leader, had a very good impression among the people on Rhodes Island under Kal'tsit's guidance. Coupled with her "mind-reading" ability, she wouldn't intentionally embarrass others. These "excellent qualities" and her cute, gentle appearance had earned her the respect of many on Rhodes Island.

After a brief conversation with Lena, she happily agreed to the children's request to play in the greenhouse.

After seeing the barren colors of the wasteland and the monotonous metallic hues inside the landship, the reds, blues, greens, and purples of the various strange and wonderful flowers made Rosemary feel like she had entered another world.

Furthermore, many of the flowers Lena grew in her greenhouse had a calming effect. Mingled with the fresh scent of the soil, any lingering hesitation Rosemary had about joining Rhodes Island vanished at that moment.

The group sat there until evening. Outcast, who noticed Kanna wasn't at the mess hall on time, came to check on them, and only then did they realize how long they had been playing.

As they were leaving, Lena brought out several freshly made sachets from her house.

She distributed the sachets to the four of them. When she reached Kanna, she touched Kanna's horn and said softly, "I know Kanna is a good child, so Kanna, you can come to the greenhouse to play anytime you want!"

She then winked.

After leaving the greenhouse, Kanna patted her belly.

Mmm~ I'm hungry!

The group followed Outcast to the dining hall. Most people had already finished eating, with only a small number still lingering.

Seeing Kanna walk in, several Operators who were about to leave stopped and sat down to the side. The one in the middle even started taking bets on how many plates Kanna would eat today.

Kanna overheard their conversation and glanced over. The one leading them was Brother Yunlong. She waved at him. Seeing Kanna wave and make a funny face, Brother Yunlong guessed that their betting had been discovered. But he was thick-skinned and unafraid of the little imp's disdain. Instead, he cheerfully gave Kanna a thumbs-up, encouraging her.
