"You two, get out! Let me calm down by myself... calm down..." After re-entering the room, looking at the trembling Purewater Spirit and Fire Spirit huddled together, Silence sighed again, then kicked everyone out of her office.
As soon as the door closed, Ifrit and Dahlia both let out a "whoosh" of relief.
"Silence is so scary!" Dahlia hugged Ifrit's waist, teary-eyed. Clearly, Silence's outburst earlier had severely frightened her young heart.
"Uh, Silence is actually very nice normally, it's just that this incident was too big. Look, even Joyce got stuck. But Kanna is really amazing, to actually be able to talk Silence down..." Ifrit looked at Kanna, who was standing quietly not far away, with admiration, never expecting such powerful energy to reside in that small body.
"...If you two have time to chat, could you come and help me up? My legs are weak..." Kanna said with a mournful face. Even though their strength was negligible, the "parental" authority that the other party had just unleashed triggered fear in Kanna's DNA. Only when Ifrit got closer did she realize Kanna's legs were constantly trembling.
"Speaking of which, didn't you leave with Rosmontis and Popukar? How did you end up here?" After placing the still-offline Ptilopsis on a nearby stool, Ifrit and Kanna sat by the corridor and started chatting.
"Oh, a physical exam. Your and Dahlia's exams are handled by Silence and Ptilopsis, so you don't need to go. Mine are handled by Kaltsit and Warfarin. Kaltsit also came back this time, so I only had Warfarin to go to. And her office is in there..."
Kanna pointed to the passage not far away.
Ifrit nodded knowingly. "Then you're still here, aren't you afraid Rosmontis and the others are getting impatient?"
"Oh, I told them to wait in the small house in the Greenhouse." Kanna waved her hand.
"Alright, I'll come find you there after Dahlia and I are done here."
"Okay, then I'll be going!" Kanna said goodbye to Ifrit and continued deeper into the passage.
Upon arriving at Warfarin's office, she saw her elegantly reclining on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, looking quite refined.
Seeing Kanna enter through the door, she immediately, warily, hid the glass behind her back, then looked up at the doorway.
"Kaltsit didn't come, did she!"
"Don't worry, Kaltsit is probably giving herself a physical, that's why I came to you. That glass of yours isn't just red wine, hmm, there's a smell of blood, whose blood is it? It's not the Doctor's, is it...?" Kanna originally thought she was just holding a glass of red wine, but after seeing her attempt to conceal it, Kanna leaned in to sniff and detected a faint scent of blood.
"Of course not. If I dared to touch the Doctor, Kaltsit would hang me out to dry on the bridge. It's just ordinary featherbeast blood. I am a Blood Demon after all, it's not strange to have some featherbeast blood in my office... After all, normal Blood Demons don't live by smelling crude oil like that oil baron." Warfarin rolled her eyes at Kanna.
"Then why are you hiding it... I'm not going to steal it from you... Hurry up and finish the check-up.
I promised Rosmontis we'd go play!" Kanna plopped down.
"Alright, alright, alright, wait for me!" Warfarin picked up the glass, downed the blood-infused red wine in one gulp, then immediately took a white coat from her stool. Facing Rhodes Island's notorious little troublemaker, Warfarin stated that as reliable as Kanna was during wartime, she was equally unreliable in peacetime.
So, to avoid Kanna causing any more trouble that might lead to her being hung on the bridge, it was better to proactively resolve Kanna's matters, preventing her from finding any opportunities.
Since Kaltsit had just returned, the highest authority in Rhodes Island's Medical Department still rested with Warfarin, so she easily opened a private room for Kanna's examination.
Upon entering, Kanna was surprised to find Magnemite guarding the entrance.
Seeing Kanna's surprised gaze, Warfarin looked a little puzzled.
"Didn't you create these? After discovering that these Magnemite could intelligently identify Rhodes Island Operators, ordinary patients, and invading enemies, Kroosil arranged these little guys in all important areas inside and outside Rhodes Island.
As long as you leave them a powered outlet, these little guys can stay in place without moving.
Moreover, the electric currents and lasers they emit are astonishingly powerful. They have already replaced some of Rhodes Island's internal defense equipment and taken on the responsibility of guarding Rhodes Island. Plus, every Elite Operator can apply for one, though externally, we have to say they are newly developed intelligent auxiliary machines from Rhodes Island.
This one is mine. I have to say, this kind of life is really interesting. Despite being purely mechanical in both appearance and essence, they possess souls and intelligence that shouldn't exist.
Speaking of which, Kroosil also said that since Magnemite can become living beings, and Buldrokkas'tee is also a non-carbon-based life form, then if Rhodes Island had a life form, who would it be? PRTS?"
As she spoke, Warfarin reached out and rubbed the Magnemite floating in mid-air, and the Magnemite flew around her several times, looking very happy.
"Uh, if Rhodes Island really had a life, and it was PRTS, then what should she be called... Ship Girl?"
Kanna's imagination ran wild, and she blurted it out.
"Ship Girl? Pfft... Your little brain is really something..." Warfarin savored the word, and finding it indeed quite fitting, she couldn't help but laugh.
Soon, Kanna's physical examination was complete. After Warfarin confirmed there were no issues, she strolled towards the Greenhouse.
As she left, she saw Fang leaning on a crutch, while Kroos's hand was bandaged, and Beagle followed behind them, carrying their belongings.
"Fang, Beagle, Kroos!" Kanna hurried over. "Are you injured? Who did this!"
Hearing Kanna's voice, the three turned and looked at Kanna, appearing very surprised.
"It's Kanna, long time no see!"
Seeing Kanna staring at her leg, Fang shook her head. "Don't worry, the Doctor said it's nothing serious, I'll be fine after some rest."
"How did you get injured? Do you need me to help you get revenge? Where are Lava and Sister Hibiscus?" For Kanna, the A1 Team members were among the first people she met after arriving on the island, so upon seeing them injured, Kanna was eager to avenge them.
"No need, yo. Scout Captain has already taken care of all those bad guys!" Although her hand was injured, from Kroos's unhurried words, it was clear that she wasn't too affected.
