"Dr. Lena is indeed very capable."

In Rhodes Island's organizational structure, the Medical Department holds the highest position. This is not only because Kal'tsit, the de facto manager of Rhodes Island for many years, is the head of the Medical Department, but also because Rhodes Island's development is inseparable from the support of the Medical Department.

As a non- Elite Operator, Lena's ability to become the person in charge of such an important place as the Therapy Garden undoubtedly demonstrates that her professional knowledge and skills have been highly recognized by Kal'tsit.

Suika reminded the two that Rhodes Island's structure was different from the outside world.

Elite Operator have considerable authority in combat, but they are not necessarily the highest-ranking Elite Operator on Rhodes Island.

Within Rhodes Island, these medical operators are the most respected.

They are the fundamental reason why Rhodes Island has been able to grow and establish friendly relations with various countries.

Chapter 457 Shamare and Little Moti

"Um, have any of you ladies seen my Little Moti?"

As the three of them were admiring the rare beautiful scenery and walking towards the other side of the passage, a child suddenly appeared at the corner and said with a cold expression.

Upon seeing the pink-haired Vulpo girl who suddenly appeared, Hoshiguma knelt down.

"Little Moti? Is he your friend?"

"Little Moti is Little Moti ..." the girl replied.

Hoshiguma had no choice but to turn and look at Suika.

"Shamare?" As a tanky DPS character, and a commonly used support for various nuke builds, Shamare's name is known to everyone.

Suika was surprised that she was already on Rhodes Island.

"Does my sister know me?" Shamare tilted her head and looked at Suika with a puzzled expression. She recalled that she didn't seem to know anyone like this.

Suika looked at her empty hands; sure enough, the doll she usually used was not in her hands.

"Little Moti said it smelled the scent of its own kind and came to find its friend..."

But after they arrived, they disappeared?

Shamare looked completely bewildered.

"The same kind?" Suika paused for a second before opening her backpack.

Sure enough, a rather strange-looking doll had somehow ended up in the backpack.

Next to it was the Hina Doll Suika always carried with her.

When the Shanghai Dolls left Suika, Hoshiguma gave it to Ursus. Hoshiguma liked this hardworking little guy very much, and Shanghai also liked Hoshiguma, who was a much cleaner demon than Suika.

At this moment, Shanghai should be cleaning Hoshiguma's room.

Suika stared speechlessly at Little Moti, who was holding the Hina Doll. She hadn't even noticed how the doll had gotten into her backpack.

Shamare seemed happy to see Little Moti, but then felt a little disappointed. She realized that Little Moti seemed to like that doll more.

Seeing this, Suika handed the Hina Doll along with Little Moti to Shamare.

Shamare looked at Suika in surprise.

"Here, take it, before I regret it," Suika said with a smile.

"But I can sense a powerful force emanating from this woman. You're giving her to me..."

Not only was Shamare surprised, but even Hoshiguma and Swire were somewhat taken aback.

Suika had told the two about the special nature of this Hina Doll, and they had also heard about how Suika had once used the Hina Doll to severely injure the Blood Demon Lord.

This item would be a priceless family heirloom for any organization or family.

After all, the idea of absorbing bad luck and then casting a curse of bad luck on an enemy sounds incredibly fantastical.

But Suika was going to give this incredibly magical and powerful magical item to the little girl she had just met without any hesitation.

"Meeting is fate. The effect of the Hina Doll is indeed very powerful, and it did help me a lot before."

But people always have to move forward. The formidable enemies that I used to need to rely on my Hina Doll to defeat are no longer something I'm afraid of.

The only purpose of the Hina Doll beside me is to absorb the bad luck brought by the Great Fortune Sigil.

However, as long as the amount given is small, I can withstand this misfortune.

But I have a feeling Shamare if you can master the Hina Doll, you will become an extraordinary person."

Suika looked at the girl in front of her and said.

"But..." Shamare wanted to say something more.

Suika pointed at Little Moti and said

"Look, Little Moti really likes the Hina Doll. You don't want me to take the Hina Doll away and see Little Moti looking sad and disappointed, do you?"

And... if you feel bad about taking my things, let's be friends.

I don't stay in Rhodes Island often, but I'll come back sometime. How about you make me a gift then?

Shamare looked at Suika, bewildered, then at Hoshiguma and Swire behind her.

The two men nodded amicably after noticing her gaze.

"But I don't even know your name yet..." Shamare said somewhat awkwardly.

"My name is Suika, Ibuki Suika... I am an Oni) from Mount Oe," Suika said sincerely.

"Then... Sister Suika."

"What do you mean by 'sister'? Just call me by my name. From now on, you can call me Suika and I'll call you Shamare." Suika stuffed the Hina Doll and Little Moti into Shamare's arms.

"Suika!" A sweet smile finally appeared on Shamare's somewhat cold face.

"Hey, let me introduce you. This is Hoshiguma- nee, and this is Swire." Suika put her arm around Shamare's thin shoulder and pointed to the two people behind her.

"Sister Hoshiguma, Swire." Following Suika and Shamare, she had a basic introduction to the two.

"Are you here for a visit?" Shamare had regained her energy thanks to Suika's actions, asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, I'm showing them around Rhodes Island right now."

"Then I'll help." As the saying goes, "He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to help," so Shamare raised her hand to indicate that she could be the tour guide.

With a "local" to guide us, the visit here went much more smoothly.

Shamare led the three of them to visit several wonderful spots in the garden that ordinary people would never discover.

Especially some very beautiful and precious flowers.

Lena hid these flowers deep inside, where they were generally unseen by most people.

Only children like Shamare, who spend long periods of time in the Therapy Garden due to their illness, have the energy to search for these "magical" flowers.

After quickly finishing their tour of the Therapy Garden, Suika and the other two bid a reluctant farewell to Shamare.

"I will get well soon and come visit you later," Shamare promised Suika.

"Great, that's the spirit you need. Next time I'll take you for... a drink."

I originally wanted to say that the Suika of the liquor was being stared at by the two officers behind me, but I ended up saying it was a beverage.

"Okay! Goodbye!" Because the healing Shamare couldn't leave the Therapy Garden, she stood at the door and watched the three of them walk into the depths of the passage.

Hoshiguma only spoke after they had walked a distance away.

"You think highly of that child?"

Suika nodded

"Shamare is a very talented child. Her Originium Arts are quite terrifying, almost like ancient Sarkaz sorcery."

It's just that they're too young and don't know how to control themselves, which is why it seems somewhat dangerous.

Once she grows up and fully masters her abilities, I think she'll rank among the top operators on Rhodes Island.

Shamare's abilities are bizarre and complex; the key is that they are completely undetectable when she attacks.

Even the agents responsible for observing and caring for her often fell infected without her even realizing it.

Although she's not Sarkaz, Suika thinks she's the most likely candidate to become the strongest magic master of the new generation after PITH and Li Gousheng.

"However, you should tell Amiya and the others about your Hina Doll. After all, that curse is still quite terrifying, and what if the child accidentally triggers it..." Hoshiguma suggested to Suika after thinking for a moment.

Chapter 458 Suika's Promotion?

"The direction we're heading happens to pass by Amiya's office; we'll just let her know when we get there."

Suika pointed ahead in the passage.

The two continued forward with Suika.

The Medical Department is not far from the Therapy Garden.

The two were fairly familiar with each other here, having just come from this area not long ago.

The Medical Department is not a single location, but rather a complex network of interconnected plots across three distinct regions of Rhodes Island.

Most patients newly arrived at Rhodes Island undergo their physical examinations on the lowest floor.

As for Lungmen's guests, to show respect for Lungmen as a partner, Kal'tsit arranged for them to be taken to the upper district for a check-up.

That's why Hoshiguma and Swire are somewhat familiar with this place.

Not far from the Medical Department is the office area, where many operators have their own offices.

Amiya's office is located there.

When the three of them arrived, Suika peeked inside and, as she expected, Amiya wasn't in her office.

So where could the other person be...?

Suika looked up at the Doctor's office not far away.

After knocking on the door, Amiya was indeed there.

Amiya was somewhat surprised to see Suika and the other two walk in.

"Suika, you've come at the perfect time. I was just talking about you with Amiya."

Doctor stood up and looked at Suika.

"Talk about me? What's there to talk about?"

Suika pointed to her nose.

"Amiya believes that your combat experience, practical skills, and achievements are more than sufficient to qualify you for promotion to Elite Operator. She plans to bring this up at the Elite Operator meeting this afternoon."

She means I should handle this; we're currently discussing whether this decision is appropriate.

"Of course it's not about your promotion, but whether Amiya should be promoted or I should make the suggestion."

Doctor realized his words were somewhat ambiguous halfway through his sentence and immediately explained.

"Elite Operator?"

But I'm not often on Rhodes Island, is this identity appropriate?

Rhodes Island's Elite Operator are that simple.

This identity not only allows you to earn a higher salary (cough cough), but also grants you unconditional assistance anywhere Rhodes Island has an office or safe house, as long as you reveal your identity.

In combat situations, the orders of Elite Operator are given top priority.

Most importantly, Rhodes Island reimburses all medical expenses and physical examinations for Elite Operator.

While this might not be of much use to Suika, becoming Elite Operator is indeed a very advantageous thing for Rhodes Island operators.

At least once you become Elite Operator, you won't have to worry about financial burdens anymore.

"Of course, no problem. Rhodes Island's Elite Operator will not only be awarded to personnel on Rhodes Island's own ships, but also to those who have provided significant assistance to Rhodes Island."

Suika, you not only successfully completed your mission in the Battle of Chernobog, but also prevented Rhodes Island from suffering serious losses.

This condition is more than sufficient.

When Amiya said this, Suika suddenly realized that it made sense.

After all, SilverAsh, Pepe, Ch'en, and other agents all have their own territories or countries that need to be managed.

If only operators from the main ship can obtain the status of Elite Operator, then they are definitely not qualified.

But in reality, they are all Elite Operator of Rhodes Island, so this status can also be considered an honor in certain situations...
