After the excitent, Popukar finally let go of Kanna, looking a little embarrassed.
Only then did Kanna have a chance to look at the other people in the convoy.
First, there was Hoshiguma and her squad.
Speaking of Hoshiguma, she had been a bit disgruntled when she first heard that Kanna was directly promoted to Elite Operator by Kal'tsit. She had put in so much effort, fought on so many battlefields to beco an Elite Operator and gain Rhodes Island's recognition, and she was proud of this identity.
But she never expected that a little girl who had just arrived on the island would be directly promoted by Kal'tsit to an identity she had worked so long for. How could this make her happy?
Fortunately, Hoshiguma wasn't a narrow-minded person. After talking with Amiya, she understood so things about Kanna and let go of her previous prejudices.
However, the proud Hoshiguma was still ashad that she had been so prejudiced against a little girl, so she usually avoided Kanna. Therefore, even though Hoshiguma had stayed on Rhodes Island before, the two had never t.
Seeing Kanna's gaze, Hoshiguma casually flipped her hair. "Hello, I'm Hoshiguma."
"Hello, I'm Kanna. Kanna knows you. Amiya trusts you very much. She said you are an indispensable piece of the puzzle for Rhodes Island on the battlefield." Although Kanna didn't know Hoshiguma's emotional journey, as one of the four cornerstones, Hoshiguma, with her impressive AOE and attack range, was undoubtedly her most trusted trump card in the past.
"Hahaha~ Really? Actually, I'm not as amazing as Amiya says!" Hearing the praise, Hoshiguma's ears perked up instantly, and she looked particularly happy.
While they were chatting, the Blacksteel Worldwide personnel also got out of their vehicles one after another.
The one who caught Kanna's attention the most was the person dressed even more heavily than a heavy-armored unit, yet holding an M9, looking very nervous, with both Feline ears almost tied in a knot. She was also the protagonist of Kanna's current visit—the crying Feline, Rhodes Island's richest loli, Jessica.
Seeing Kanna's gaze, Jessica cautiously raised her hand and made a 'hello' gesture.
Next to her, another girl, also wearing a Blacksteel Worldwide uniform, looked much more confident (Vanilla in the original story didn't arrive at Rhodes Island at the sa ti as Jessica, but to avoid trouble, they were simply grouped together).
When she saw Kanna, she seed surprised, and only after asking the person next to her did she confirm sothing.
As she passed Kanna's group, she actively greeted Kanna, "Hello, my na is Vanilla. I'm a Blacksteel Worldwide trainee here at Rhodes Island for further studies."
Kanna looked up at the tall girl in front of her and extended her small hand. "Hello, I'm Kanna! I'm an Elite Operator of Rhodes Island. If you need any help on Rhodes Island, feel free to find !"
"Rhodes Island is very safe. You don't need to be so fully ard, big sister! It's very hot..." After shaking hands with Vanilla, Kanna said to the rich girl next to her.
"... ? Hello... I'm Jessica from Blacksteel Worldwide... Ugh~ Sorry, I'm not very good at introducing myself." Jessica looked a bit nervous when she saw Kanna's curious head leaning over.
"Is big sister a Sarkaz? Why don't you have a halo?" Kanna asked, feigning ignorance and pointing at the M9 in Jessica's hand, puzzled.
"No... I'm a Feline... This is... Ugh... I bit my tongue," Jessica replied nervously as Kanna approached, and in her tension, she bit her tongue while speaking.
It took her a while to recover. After removing the gas mask from her head, the teary-eyed Feline head appeared before everyone.
"Big sister, this gun looks a bit smaller than Grandma Outcast's, and the appearance is very different." Although guns are useless to Kanna, who can refuse the temptation of a gun in front of them? Even if she couldn't touch it, just looking at it was good enough.
Just as Jessica and Vanilla were wondering who Grandma Outcast was, Kanna continued,
"Speaking of which, Grandma's bullets are all made by the Engineering Departnt. Jessica, big sister, do you bring your own bullets for your gun?" When she ntioned guns, Kanna had seen and touched Outcast's revolver, and had even retrieved ammunition for Outcast from the Engineering Departnt, so others wouldn't be confused by her statent.
"Can Rhodes Island provide ammunition? That's great! I was worried I wouldn't have enough ammunition for this internship!" The Feline next to her was now attracted by Kanna's words and forgot the pain in her mouth.
"Yes! Jessica, big sister, do you want to co and see?" Kanna invited Jessica.
"But we just arrived on the island and haven't settled down yet..." Although tempted, Jessica knew that her group was here for exchange and study. They had to et with Rhodes Island's leadership first and get permission before they could move around the landship.
"Hmm~ How about tomorrow morning? We'll co find you then," Kanna thought. After all, the other party's identity was not yet a Rhodes Island Operator, nor were they staying as patients, so the necessary initial procedures still had to be followed.
"Okay! Then I'll wait for you tomorrow morning to show around Rhodes Island." Jessica was just not good at communication; her intelligence was not low. After calming down, she readily accepted Kanna's invitation.
After all, at such an important entrance and exit within the landship, a place strictly controlled by a leader, her ability to move freely without being blocked proved that her authority or rank was very high. With her guidance later, it would be much more convenient to communicate when finding soone to make ammunition.
On the other side, Popukar carried her equipnt off the car. It was a chainsaw about the sa size as her. Although chainsaws are very intimidating, they are not very practical weapons on the battlefield. Only soone with Popukar's monstrous strength would choose such a thing.
After all, chainsaws are not only heavy, but without enough strength, it's impossible to quickly and efficiently cut through what's in front of you.
Although it wasn't used many tis on this trip, chainsaws are more troubleso to maintain and upkeep than ordinary weapons. Previously, Spot helped Popukar with maintenance while they were out. Now back on Rhodes Island, it had to be taken to the Engineering Departnt for inspection to see if the weapon had developed any hidden problems or needed parts replaced during the outing.
Kanna and Rosmontis heard this and followed along. One reason was to accompany Popukar, and the other was that Kanna's own weapon was due for pickup around the ti Sister Vulcan had agreed upon.
After a simple farewell, Kanna's group said goodbye to the Blacksteel Worldwide personnel and headed towards the Engineering Departnt.
