Transforming into Kanna on Terra

Under the guidance of the two, Melantha quickly found her living quarters. Perhaps it was because she wasn't admitted as a patient, but her bed wasn't in the ward. Instead, it was in the Operator's lounge. Naturally, the arrangement changed from four people per room to two per room. Moreover, no one else had moved into their room yet, so it was essentially a single room.

Coincidentally, Kanna needed to recharge at night and worried about accidentally touching something if she shared a room with others, leading to an electric shock. Rosemary, due to her skills, also preferred a single room to avoid accidentally using her abilities while sleeping and harming her colleagues. Both of them had single rooms.

After putting away her luggage, Melantha finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing the two about to leave, she called out to them and took two sachets from her backpack.

"Thank you so much for your help today, Kanna and Rosemary. These two sachets are handmade by me. I'm giving them to you both as gifts. I hope you like them."

After receiving Melantha's sachets, Kanna sniffed one. The scent wasn't strong, but it was stable and long-lasting, without being overpowering. No matter who wore it, the light floral scent would add a touch of elegance.

"Speaking of sachets, Sister Lena seemed to be troubled before about how to make the scent last longer. If Sister Melantha's sachets are made so well, Sister Lena will surely be very happy if she knew."

Holding the sachet, Kanna suddenly remembered seeing the Perfumer looking distressed in the greenhouse earlier. The floral scents in the greenhouse helped stabilize patients' emotions, making it an important part of the Recuperation Garden. The Perfumer had been trying to find a way to preserve these floral scents using sachets so that patients could carry them around. Unfortunately, due to her limited understanding of the production process, the sachets she made either had the wrong scent or didn't last long.

Melantha was intrigued upon hearing this. As someone from a family renowned for perfumery, she had considerable expertise in scent creation and thus wanted to visit the Miss Lena that Kanna mentioned.

However, Kanna had helped her so much that Melantha felt it inappropriate to ask directly. She thought for a moment and realized it was nearing dinnertime. She invited the two to have dinner with her.

Kanna glanced at Melantha's small shoulder bag and decided not to take advantage of such a friendly person. "Let's go to the staff cafeteria! The food there tastes great and the portions are generous. It's much better than eating out! Of course, that's assuming we don't run into Miss Hibiscus."

Even if Melantha was wealthy, eating out would likely leave her wallet considerably lighter. It was different at the cafeteria; Kanna didn't have to pay for her meals there!

The reason was naturally her young age. Rhodes Island decided to cover her food and accommodation, as well as her education, and used Kanna's salary to offset the expenses.

However, Kanna calculated that her meager salary wouldn't even cover half a month's worth of cafeteria meals, so she didn't dare ask Kal'tsit for it.

If Rhodes Island really paid her a salary and she had to pay for meals herself beforehand, she would probably have to live frugally.

While Melantha was unaware that her wallet had narrowly escaped a hit, the three arrived at the cafeteria.

Upon seeing Kanna, the chef at the entrance's expression changed, and he quickly retreated into the kitchen.

Kanna wasn't surprised, as this happened every time she visited a new cafeteria. However, the person seemed even more nervous today. (Monthly fee group.69493.6135)

Just as she was wondering why, she saw a blonde Perro stuffing food into her mouth, with Hooves constantly handing her more.

"Eyjafjalla! Vulcan!" Kanna waved at the two.

Seeing Kanna and the others, Eyjafjalla turned her head while chewing and waved back excitedly at the three.

"Don't move around so much, your hands are covered in grease and you're splashing it on the next table." Vulcan sighed at Eyjafjalla's attempt to wave while her mouth was full and unable to speak, then brought a bottle of water to her lips.

"Gulp, gulp!" With a few gulps, Eyjafjalla finally swallowed the food in her mouth.

"Vulcan, you don't usually leave the workshop, do you? What brings you out to eat with Eyjafjalla today?" Kanna sat next to Eyjafjalla, unbothered by the grease on her hands, and their hands met in the air with a crisp clap.

"Eyjafjalla ate all the food in the workshop. Since there's nothing much going on lately, I brought her out for a stroll and to relax a bit," Vulcan replied to Kanna while unhurriedly handing Eyjafjalla more food.

Kanna understood immediately. It was likely that Vulcan felt Eyjafjalla had been cooped up in the workshop for too long and decided to take her out for some fresh air.

Speaking of which, they rarely met since Eyjafjalla joined the ship. Eyjafjalla's Originium infection was in a serious condition, making her a key subject of observation for the Medical Department. Eyjafjalla also wasn't someone who liked to wander around. Besides her dormitory and Vulcan's workshop, her only other frequent destinations were the kitchens of various restaurants.

Perhaps out of concern for Eyjafjalla's affection for her weapon, Vulcan took pity on her and reluctantly took on the troublesome Eyjafjalla as her ward on Rhodes Island.

Therefore, whenever Eyjafjalla tried to sneak into the kitchens, she would be escorted back to Vulcan's workshop by the staff.

Chapter 66: Chapter Sixty-one: Common Hobbies Facilitate Communication

As the group chatted while waiting for their food, the main door opened again, and food ingredients were brought in and taken to the kitchen.

Just as Melantha was wondering why there were suddenly so many ingredients, Eyjafjalla jumped up from her stool and looked down at Kanna.

"Kanna! I lost the food fight last time, and I'm not convinced. I challenge you again!"

Hearing Eyjafjalla's words, Vulcan held her forehead. "Sigh~ I knew this would happen."

"What?" Melantha looked bewildered. Although she understood Eyjafjalla's words, what was a food fight? Throwing food at each other? Did Rhodes Island allow such wastefulness?

"Alas! Eyjafjalla, your challenge is weak, and all your efforts are in vain. However, since you are the only warrior brave enough to challenge me, I bestow upon you this glorious opportunity!" Kanna covered her left eye with her left hand and spoke in a deliberately deep voice.

In the midst of the "tense" atmosphere, the kitchen door opened, and food was brought to the "battlefield."

Then, to Melantha's complete astonishment, food was devoured by the two as if on a conveyor belt.

"Sigh, it was just like last time. They bumped into each other during mealtime, and that day they not only ate all the food in one cafeteria but also cleared out the emergency supplies sent from the neighboring cafeteria."

Knowing the "duel" was inevitable, Vulcan had to give up her seat to make the competition appear smoother. She was relieved that most of the food went into Kanna's mouth. Although the plates in front of them were stacked incredibly high, Eyjafjalla's actual intake was less than a tenth of Kanna's.

In less than ten minutes, Eyjafjalla slumped onto her stool, a large piece of beef in her mouth, unable to swallow anymore. Kanna, on the other hand, was still calmly "pouring" food into her mouth.

Half an hour later, Kanna elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and looked at the empty opponent's seat, which had already been cleared away by Vulcan, with a sense of invincibility.

Melantha, who had been worried about not bringing enough money, was comforted by Rosemary, who told her that Kanna didn't have to pay for cafeteria meals, which put Melantha at ease.

As they walked out of the restaurant, Melantha felt much more relaxed. Just as she was about to bid them farewell and return to process her own rollercoaster of emotions, she heard Kanna say they were going to the Recuperation Garden with Rosemary.

Earlier, she had heard Kanna mention that the girl who was trying to make sachets was in charge of the Recuperation Garden. She swallowed the farewell she was about to utter and followed the two to the greenhouse.

Upon entering, Lena was watering flowers not far away. Seeing Kanna and the other two, she waved them over to play in the small cabin. As for the newcomer behind Kanna, although she only glanced at her, she seemed to be a girl with excellent upbringing, so Lena didn't ask any questions.

Melantha observed the garden and couldn't help but nod in approval. Although the area wasn't large, it was rich in flower varieties, mostly calming and soothing plants. It was evident that the owner was quite skilled in horticulture.

She gently inhaled the fragrance in the air, elegant and unpretentious, which further enhanced her good impression. She decided she must have a good chat with Miss Lena later.

Entering the small cabin, Melantha casually picked up a plant magazine from the bookshelf and began flipping through it. Kanna and Rosemary, not being particularly boisterous children, each picked up a comic book and became engrossed in it. The cabin fell silent again, except for the rustling sound of pages turning.

A short while later, Lena entered, a light sheen of sweat on her brow.

Melantha closed the book in her hand and politely greeted her.

Kanna, standing nearby, took the opportunity to introduce herself. When Lena learned that her companion hailed from a perfume-making family in Victoria and was particularly adept with scents, she was overjoyed.

She took out a notebook and pulled Melantha aside to ask for advice. Melantha, having been favorably impressed by Lena's recuperation courtyard since her arrival, didn't hold back, reviewing her own experiences while offering her insights to Lena.

The two of them, like Bo Ya meeting Zhong Ziqi, quickly bonded through their exchange, causing Kanna, who was flipping through a comic book, to unconsciously inch away.

After watching for a while longer, Kanna felt her eyelids growing heavy. She glanced at Rosemary beside her, whose head was already bobbing as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

She had intended to bid farewell to Lena and Melantha, but upon seeing how engrossed they were, she quietly pulled the drowsy Rosemary along and left the greenhouse without disturbing the two who were still deep in conversation.

After escorting the nearly asleep Rosemary back to her room, Kanna yawned and returned to her own quarters.

The next morning, Kanna went to the dining hall for breakfast as usual. The moment she entered, she saw Lena and Melantha sitting not far away. The food in front of them remained untouched, but their conversation had still not ceased.

In response, Kanna could only think that such matters were too complex for a child like her to resolve.

Outside, she encountered Amiya, who was passing by. Amiya was fretting about how to carry such a large stack of documents back to the control room when she saw Kanna emerging from the dining hall. Without hesitation, she roped Kanna into helping. Each carrying a hefty pile of documents, they arrived at their destination amidst a chorus of greetings.

"I heard you skipped class yesterday afternoon and almost caused trouble at the medical check-up area?" Kal'tsit's voice came from behind the desk.

"How can you say I skipped class... It was because Operator Weifeng had too many surgeries scheduled, and she herself was unavailable. Besides, I wasn't just playing around; I was bringing a new recruit on board!" Kanna looked up, her tone defiant, in the direction of Kal'tsit.

"How dare you say that. The person clearly came to Rhodes Island for treatment of Originium infection through proper channels, yet you took them to the Operator recruitment room and even managed to fool that old softie, 12F. If Weifeng hadn't asked me to check on her new patient's condition, I wouldn't have known she had already become a Rhodes Island Operator."

Kal'tsit found the situation somewhat troublesome. Rhodes Island's new Operators generally came from two sources: one, recommended by other Operators, with the individual agreeing to join Rhodes Island; the other, patients residing at Rhodes Island with certain skills who, after accepting Rhodes Island's philosophy, would proactively apply to the personnel department. After evaluation, the personnel department would promote them as reserve Operators.

Logically, Kanna, as an Elite Operator, had the right to recommend individuals to become Rhodes Island Operators. However, she was too young, and neither the personnel department nor Kal'tsit expected a child with limited experience to recommend outstanding talent.

Sure enough, not long after the Lupo left, a red figure followed along the Lupo's route.

"Yo! Red, are you hunting tails again?"

"Purple, big tail, very comfortable!" Seeing that she had been discovered by Kanna again, Red was no longer as agitated as the first time, and even engaged in a brief conversation.

"Then I wish you a successful hunt!" Kanna, not wanting to disturb Red's "hunting" mood, readily cleared the passage.

After Red left, Kanna looked at the passage where the two had disappeared. After recalling for a moment, she clapped her hands. The purple Lupo from before must have been Provence.

She hadn't expected her to be on Rhodes Island. But speaking of which, she was a messenger of a catastrophe. Was her visit to the island this time related to the catastrophe?

The reason she thought this was because Kanna's new mission was to participate in a "catastrophe" rescue operation.

Chapter 68 Chapter Sixty-Three: I, Kanna, an Field Operator

Speaking of which, it had been almost half a month since the last mission that had left her very dissatisfied. During this time, the system had been sending Kanna a new mission punctually once a week.

But Kanna was very unhappy about being tricked last time, so she hadn't chosen to accept any missions during this period. Moreover, the new missions all required her to leave the island, and recently Kanna had not obtained permission to leave. Of course, she also had no new plans.

And if the other party was indeed Provence, then a catastrophe might be happening or about to happen near Rhodes Island.

Although she was sulking with the system and unwilling to actively take on missions, if a mission came knocking on her door, she could reluctantly accept it.

With this thought, she walked towards the central control room. After all, if it really was a catastrophe, Provence's reporting officer would only be Kal'tsit.

As expected, when Kanna reached the entrance of the central control room, she saw Provence inside, saying something with an agitated expression. Opposite her, Kal'tsit and Amiya were listening intently.

Just as she arrived at the door, Kanna saw Red standing not far away with a look of regret. She walked over, "What's wrong?"

"The tail went inside. The hunt failed." Looking at the constantly twitching purple tail inside the room, Red swallowed and then shook her head before disappearing down the passage.

"Uh!" Seeing Red leave, Kanna was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to comfort her.
