Transforming into Kanna on Terra

Kanna muttered to herself, Does Empress Kal'tsit need protection? If someone dares to cause trouble for you, I'll only worry about them. After all, Mon3tr can stand against the Inner Guard head-on.

However, Kal'tsit had already found an excuse, and she wouldn't be tactless. It was just continuous work without a vacation. Which Operator on Rhodes Island wasn't used to the 007 work ethic of a model employee?

Section 95, Chapter 89: Good Friends Help Each Other Fill in the Gaps

Everyone was reluctant to see Kanna leave again so soon after returning, but they knew it was unavoidable. Letting rumors spread now would only make things worse; they had to make amends.

As for what Kanna was thinking about, it was the sea, seafood, and... curious eggs. The first two should be fine, but she wondered if she'd be lucky enough to see the latter two.

Next, Kal'tsit laid out plans for Rhodes Island's operations after her departure and preparations for the upcoming investigation.

"Regarding Kanna's existence, if they ask, there's no need to hide it. After all, Kanna has been on Rhodes Island for so long, it's impossible to keep it a secret. However, if they ask where she went afterward, tell them that Rhodes Island discovered Kanna was missing after receiving the news, and we haven't found any trace of her."

Hearing Kal'tsit's words, everyone nodded in understanding.

"Red will take you through the secret passage to the exit. We'll rendezvous there. The situation in Iberia is very complicated, and we must depart quickly or we'll miss our chance! I'll have to trouble everyone to help Amiya with Rhodes Island's work from now on."

After giving her final instructions on the reports in her hands, Kal'tsit stood up and addressed the group.

After Kal'tsit left, Kanna gently patted Popukar's head, who looked a little sad.

"MUA! Don't be sad. I'm not really leaving. I heard Iberia has many interesting local specialties. I'll bring you back something fun!"

Popukar wiped away her tears and said, "Then let's pinky promise. You have to promise you'll come back!"

"Okay, okay, pinky promise, cross my heart, hope to die, no take-backs. Whoever breaks it is a little dummy." Kanna and Popukar linked fingers, their crisp childish voices making Amiya, who had been feeling agitated by Kal'tsit's sudden departure, feel a bit more relaxed.

"Don't forget about me and Rosemary!" Amiya said with a smile just as Kanna was about to leave.

"No problem, I'll bring you back gifts!" Kanna waved and jumped back into the ventilation shaft with Red.

"Oh no!" After seeing Kanna leave, Popukar seemed to remember something, shouted, and then ran outside in a hurry.

Meanwhile, Kanna followed Red through a maze of turns, finally arriving at the exit on the lower floor from the control room.

Kal'tsit was already waiting by the car.

"Since the situation is urgent, it will just be the two of us traveling. Please take care of me, Operator Kanna!" Kal'tsit leaned against the car door, waiting for Closure to finish the final checks on the vehicle.

A moment later, Closure emerged from the car and gave an OK sign.

"The vehicle is in good condition, with sufficient energy. I've prepared about half a month's worth of rations in the trunk, enough for you to cross this desert and find a town."

Kal'tsit nodded and got into the driver's seat. Kanna also climbed into the car. After bidding farewell to Red and Closure, the vehicle quietly drove out of Rhodes Island.

As they were leaving, Kanna touched her horn, feeling like she had forgotten something.

"Beep beep beep! This is Amiya. Can you hear me, Doctor Kal'tsit, Kanna-chan!" Suddenly, the communicator in front of the car crackled twice, and Amiya's voice came through.

Kal'tsit reached out and turned on the communicator, asking with a hint of strangeness, "This is Kal'tsit. Amiya, what is it?"

"Oh, it's about Kanna-chan. Look up at the bridge." Amiya sounded a bit nervous when asked.

Hearing this, Kanna poked her head out the window and saw Amiya and Popukar standing by the bridge. When she noticed Kanna looking up, Popukar excitedly waved the large object in her hand.

Seeing what Popukar was holding, Kanna slapped her forehead. No wonder she felt like she had forgotten something—she had left her greatsword behind at Rhodes Island.

Seeing Kanna wave at her, Popukar aimed at the car and threw Kanna's greatsword down from the bridge.

Witnessing Popukar's action, Kanna slapped the car window, crawled out of the passenger seat, and landed with a powerful push. Dust swirled as she effortlessly caught the falling greatsword.

Landing again, she exerted force and leaped onto the car roof. In a flash, she secured the weapon on top and crawled back into the car through the window.

Seeing Kanna successfully catch her weapon, Popukar felt satisfied. She wiped the fine sweat from her forehead and sat on the ground, panting.

It had taken all her strength to go from the control room to Kanna's room to retrieve the heavy weapon, then contact Amiya, who brought her to the bridge to find the departing Kanna, and finally throw the weapon with all her might to a spot where Kanna could easily catch it. Now, sitting on the ground, Popukar could only gasp for air with her mouth open, unable to muster any more strength.

Seeing Popukar unable to move, Amiya was at a loss on how to carry her back. Fortunately, she encountered Warfarin, who was "drying out" on the bridge.

After getting her down, Warfarin, upon learning of Kal'tsit's departure, generously scooped up Popukar and followed Amiya inside.

On the way, Amiya could hear Warfarin chuckling "hehehe" from time to time, and her sidelong glances made her feel quite uncomfortable.

"Ahem! Speaking of which, Amiya, with Kal'tsit gone, who is in charge of Rhodes Island's Medical Department now?" Even though she said this, with Kal'tsit gone, who would dare to cross her with her reputation as "Blood"?

"Doctor Hermo," Amiya replied truthfully.

Warfarin chuckled inwardly. She knew Hermo, a medical talent who had fled from Rhine Lab. She had indeed made great achievements in treating and protecting Infected. It was normal for her to be in charge of the medical department after Kal'tsit left. However, most of her attention was on that Sarkaz, and she hadn't been here long. She certainly wouldn't bother with an old hand like herself. So, could some of her own ideas be implemented in Kal'tsit's absence?

She only regretted that Skadi was also not on Rhodes Island. She had always been curious about the Abyssal race, but the other party was unwilling to be examined. With Kal'tsit interfering, she had never managed to obtain a sample from her. If Skadi were here, then hehehe...

Meanwhile, in the car, Kal'tsit handed Kanna a stack of documents.

"Iberia's entry management has become very strict since the 'Great Silence.' This will be your identity when you are in Iberia. Your task for the next few days is to memorize all the information in this identity document. If anyone asks, answer according to the document. If something is not in the document, tell them you don't know. If they continue to press, tell them to come find me."

Section 96, Chapter 90: Old Lynx vs. Young Dragon

Kanna took the documents. Her name and photo were still hers, Kanna Kamui, but her identity had changed to Kal'tsit's adopted daughter.

Her background story was that she was a trafficked child from the Vayvan Autonomous Region of Sargon. After being rescued by Kal'tsit, she became her adopted daughter and stayed on Rhodes Island. This time, she was traveling with her.

There were no other significant changes. It was clear that Kal'tsit also worried that if the setting were too complicated, Kanna's little brain might make mistakes.

"My plan is to detour through Siracusa first. Although Siracusa appears chaotic, as long as you're willing to spend money, you can get many things, such as the official transit pass to Iberia that we need. Then, we'll enter Laterano. I have some Liberi acquaintances there who will take us through the official channels without much scrutiny. Finally, after entering Iberia, we'll go directly to Rock Bay Town."

After listening to Kal'tsit, Kanna touched her chin. Siracusa, the homeland of the Twin Wolves, was comparable to the Italy she knew. And what Kanna remembered most about Italy was the "star" of the dance.

"I know Siracusa!"

Thinking of this, Kanna raised her hand. After catching sight of Kal'tsit's peripheral vision, she leaned forward, crossed her hands in front of her eyes, and said in a deliberately deep voice, "I can offer you an offer you can't refuse. Revenge is a dish best served cold. What did I do to make you disrespect me so much that you won't even call me Godfather?"

Just as Kanna was enthusiastically reenacting scenes from "The Godfather" from memory, Kal'tsit said coldly, "If you're bored, you can look at the books on the seats behind you. They're about the history of Siracusa, Laterano, and Iberia. I'll give you homework later."

"Gaa..." The excitement that had just surfaced was completely extinguished by her words.

"You can't do this... Reading in the car will affect your eyesight!" Before she could even show off, she received the terrible news that she had homework. Kanna was very dissatisfied and tried to use an excuse to force Kal'tsit to retract her order.

"Oh! It doesn't matter if you can't read. There's a recorder. You can listen with your ears, right? Remember to wear headphones..."

Kanna stared at the calm Kal'tsit in shock, unable to believe she could be so vicious, tricking a little dragon person like her. She had worked her heart out for Rhodes Island, giving her all!

I'm not convinced, I want to see the leader!

What?

Kal'tsit is the de facto leader of Rhodes Island?

Never mind then...

Kanna slumped onto the seat, her eyes vacant as she looked at the sky—this world is beyond saving.

Destroy the world, shatter reality!

A few minutes later, Kanna, wearing headphones and listening to the mechanical broadcast voice, felt her eyelids being sealed with a powerful spell. Before even a third of Siracusa's history was told, she succumbed to the power of the seal and fell asleep.

Seeing Kanna asleep, Kal'tsit's usually cold lips curved upward slightly.

She had anticipated that Kanna would be difficult to handle before they left, so she had brought along the audio textbooks she had previously bought for Amiya. Indeed, this seemingly casual move yielded unexpectedly miraculous results.

When Kanna woke up, the sky had already turned dark. Kal'tsit was boiling water and cooking outside.

Rubbing her eyes and yawning, Kanna crawled out of the car.

"Dinner will be ready in ten minutes. You can go wash your face by the river nearby first."

Upon hearing this, Kanna quickly ran out, afraid that if she was slow, Kal'tsit would catch her and ask her about the content she had learned in the car that afternoon.

As if! The moment she put on the headphones, she had to fight sleep and ultimately lost. How could she possibly have the energy to recall that content?

Stepping outside, she realized Kal'tsit had parked the car next to a small hill. Leaning against the hill, she used the car to block most of the light, ensuring that even at night, the firelight, largely concealed, wouldn't attract too much attention.

Not far from their temporary camp was a small river, which could satisfy both of their water needs. It was clear that although the old lynx was a bit of a riddle-master and lacked skills beyond medical care, her survival experience was quite rich.

"There are fish in the river. If you want to eat fish, catch them yourself. I can help you roast them! But don't make too much noise while fishing!" As Kanna was about to reach the riverbank, Kal'tsit's voice called out.

Hearing about eating fish, Kanna's spirits lifted. With a few hops of her short legs, she reached the river's edge.

She widened her eyes and surveyed the area. Indeed, as Kal'tsit had said, although the river didn't look large, the fish population was abundant.

Rolling up her sleeves, Kanna pushed off the ground and leaped into the middle of the river. She unleashed rapid palm thunder attacks, and several large fish, which had been leisurely enjoying the late night, suddenly convulsed, their bellies turning white as they floated to the surface.

Landing on the other side of the river, Kanna pushed off the ground again and leaped back the way she came. Midway, she scooped up the dozen or so fish that had been stunned by the electricity.

Just as she was wondering how to carry so many fish, she suddenly saw Mon3tr on patrol not far away. Her eyes rolled, and she tossed the fish in her hands towards Mon3tr.

Sensing the whistling sound from the riverbank, Mon3tr instinctively raised its sickle-like claws.

With a few swish sounds, dozens of fish accurately pierced its claws, skewered like kebabs.

"Good job skewering them, Mon3tr! With this skill alone, you'd make a fortune as a barbecue chef."

Although Mon3tr's appearance was terrifying, the skilled and brave Kanna was completely unfazed.

After the creature "caught" her dinner, Kanna contentedly hopped onto a rock beside it and then reached out her small hand to pat its claw with satisfaction.

Receiving such "favor," Mon3tr, like a startled bird, quickly retreated to Kal'tsit's side.

Watching Mon3tr, whom she trusted implicitly, act like an ordinary pet in Kanna's hands, Kal'tsit also appeared somewhat helpless. After all, Mon3tr's terrifying appearance made even Amiya seem scared and intimidated in its presence.

Kanna was currently the only one who could completely disregard Mon3tr's threats and warnings and scare it like this.

As she took the fish from Mon3tr's claws, Kal'tsit felt a sense of grievance from her "companion" for the first time.

What surprised her most was that the fish in her hand had already been gutted and cleaned thoroughly, requiring no further preparation before being roasted over a fire.

Seeing Kal'tsit's expression, Kanna clapped her hands. "Don't look at me like that. The internal organs are difficult to handle and have a strong smell, so they have to be removed. I'm small, but I'm not stupid."

Chapter 97 Chapter 91: How to Quickly and Effectively Enrage a Group of Siracusans

Ignoring Kanna's remark, Kal'tsit skillfully skewered the fish one by one and placed them by the campfire.

Just as the two were waiting for their dinner to roast, Kanna's ears twitched. She looked up at Kal'tsit, only to find Kal'tsit looking back at her.

"Everything except the fish can be eaten. Do you want to eat first, or exercise first?" Kal'tsit asked.

"Can't Mon3tr go? I'm just a child, I won't starve. Besides, ordinary people can be scared off easily. My attacks are too powerful." Kanna didn't feel threatened by the approaching presence. Although the uncomfortable feeling indicated ill intentions, the lack of threat suggested they weren't very strong.

So, they were likely scavengers wandering in the wilderness, attracted by the firelight, who came to investigate. Discovering only a woman and a child, they harbored malicious intent, which was then detected by the two of them.

Kanna was too lazy to deal with such people. After all, there was no profit to be made, and no deep-seated hatred.

If she were in the wild and saw a pair of lonely mother and daughter, she might have felt a pang of sympathy.

Seeing that Kanna had no intention of touching the food in front of her, Kal'tsit had no choice but to wave her hand. Mon3tr emerged from the shadows and brandished its exaggerated giant scythe towards the approaching figures.

The few scavengers who were still horny were instantly scared out of their wits when they saw the terrifying monster that suddenly appeared.

Accompanied by miserable screams, the scavengers ran with all their might.

After scaring the scavengers away, mon3tr, who had seemed a bit depressed before, finally perked up.

Nothing happened for the next few days, and the two successfully entered Siracusa.

After entering the city, Kanna, for the first time, became interested and decided to go sightseeing.

The main race in Siracusa is Lupo, but there are also other races...

Speaking of which, in Kanna's memory, the most un-Siracusan person in the Siracusan team was Javi. Considering Javi is a Vulpo (fox) and not a Lupo, it's understandable. But Broca is a Feline, yet still a pure Siracusan. So perhaps Javi is just not suited for "Siracusa."

Just as Kanna was thinking about the dialogue from the monthly team, Kal'tsit led him to a Siracusan restaurant to eat.

The waiter enthusiastically handed the menu to Kal'tsit. Before Kal'tsit could speak, Kanna excitedly shouted loudly, "I want the Sistag-style fruit pizza!" As soon as she spoke, the previously lively restaurant instantly fell silent.

"And orange jam spaghetti and chocolate sauce pasta!"

With each dish she named, the atmosphere in the restaurant dropped a notch. The waiter, who had been smiling moments before, twitched uncontrollably, looking like he was about to lose it.

"What's wrong? I saw it in the book Innovative Terra Cuisine. Didn't it say this is a Siracusan specialty?" Even though the atmosphere in the restaurant was on the verge of exploding, Kanna still looked completely clueless.

"Siracusan vulgarity, I knew it was that damned liar, Siracusan vulgarity, I'll pull his intestines out from his GANG door and shove them into his mouth, Siracusan vulgarity..." A Siracusan man who could no longer hold back smashed the tableware in his hand onto the table and walked out cursing.

The man's actions seemed to have ignited a volcanic eruption. Then, others also walked out of the restaurant with similar angry expressions, leaving only the restaurant owner, who stood awkwardly at the entrance with a wry smile.

As soon as Kanna spoke her first sentence, Kal'tsit knew something was wrong. Before she could think of a way to make Kanna shut up, Kanna kept fanning the flames. Seeing this situation, even the seasoned Kal'tsit had to cover her face.

Although children speak without knowing better, and she believed these Siracusans wouldn't hold it against a child, Kanna's outburst made her feel like her toes were digging a new Rhodes Island into the ground.
