Seeing Kanna devour all the "Hibiscus Special Nutritional Meals" at a very efficient speed, Head Chef wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Kanna, however, didn't feel much about it. Although the taste was a bit strange, it was much better than eating Originium Bugs raw. And after eating it, she felt it gave her slightly more energy than regular food.
Seeing Kanna eat so happily, Popukar curiously reached out and grabbed a strange-looking piece of food. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she started to frown — "Wah! Ptooey, it's so bitter, the taste is so weird, I feel like my whole person has become awful…"
With just one bite, Popukar's eyes spun, and she collapsed, becoming the last casualty for the few remaining nutritional meals.
"If I'm not mistaken, this item is a secret weapon developed by Rhodes Island's Medical Department for internal cleansing. It's a mixture of seventy-seven or eighty-one ingredients. Unless one has great perseverance, eating it will surely lead to demise," Kanna said, licking the sauce from her fingers, pointing to Popukar who had fallen to the side.
Rosmontis merely widened her eyes and nodded.
"Hey, hey, hey! What happened to Feline being curious? You're not even as good as the rabbit next to you!"
Rosmontis merely blinked, looking adorable and innocent.
"Never mind, Popukar, here, drink some water. After drinking water, it won't be strange anymore." Kanna went to the nearby counter, got a glass of juice, and brought it to Popukar's mouth.
After drinking the juice, Popukar finally came to her senses. She looked at the stacked plates and then at Kanna with eyes like she had seen a god. To be able to eat such terrible-tasting things without changing expression, in a child's mind, that was synonymous with a god.
After dinner, Kanna took the group to the deck. Because the weather was nice, many people were sunbathing on the deck and greeted Kanna and her companions.
At this time, Kanna also saw Melantha. Standing beside her were the pink muscular rabbit, Steward, Ansel, and a Pero whose eyes were full of energy.
Upon seeing Kanna, Melantha was the first to greet her. "Kanna-chan, long time no see!"
"Melantha, long time no see to you too. Looking at your complexion now, you must be doing well at Rhodes Island!" Compared to her delicate appearance when she first arrived at Rhodes Island, Melantha now looked vibrant and heroic.
Seeing Kanna looking at her teammates, Melantha said, "These are Kattie, Steward, Ansel, and Cardigan. We are currently assigned to Team A4 of the Reserve Operator group."
"Hello, I'm Kanna."
As Kanna spoke, Kattie curiously walked up to her, sniffed, and then looked at her with shocked eyes.
"You smell like Hibiscus's nutritional meal! You didn't actually eat that stuff, did you?!"
Because she was too shocked, Kattie couldn't control her volume, attracting Reserve Operator Team A1 from nearby.
"What, what? Someone likes my nutritional meal? I knew it, my nutritional meal's combination is so reasonable, how could no one like it… It must be your taste buds that are problematic."
Leading the way was Hibiscus, the originator of the nutritional meal, followed by Eyjafjalla, Kroos, Beagle, and Fang.
After meeting the members of Reserve Operator Team A4, both sides exchanged friendly greetings.
"It was me! Although the nutritional meal tastes a little strange, it's actually much better than the head of the flower maniac, and only a little worse than a surprise egg," Kanna said, hands on her hips, looking very proud.
"Flower maniac? Surprise egg?"
Everyone around looked puzzled after Kanna finished speaking.
"It's something I ate when Kal'tsit and I went to Iberia!" Hearing Kanna speak, several Operators from Iberia nearby frowned. No matter how they thought about it, they couldn't recall any snacks in Iberia with such strange names as "flower maniac" and "surprise egg."
Some of the Aegir people even had a strange sense of déjà vu while pondering these two names.
"Let me tell you, the seafood on the coast of Iberia is especially enthusiastic. As soon as they meet you, they take you home, and then various seafood are brought before you. Although most of them taste very ordinary, there are so many of them! And their jellyfish sashimi is especially delicious…"
The more Kanna spoke, the more outlandish it sounded to the people around her. How could food take people to their homes and even bring itself to their mouths? It sounded completely like a child's fairy tale. So most people shifted their attention elsewhere.
However, a dark-skinned young man nearby, contrary to the others, stared intently at Kanna, his eyes revealing a very solemn light.
He silently walked to a spot not far from Kanna. "My compatriot, may the deep sea bless your path." (Aegir language)
Finding that Kanna showed no reaction, he continued to approach. "My compatriot, the deep sea will guide your advance." (Aegir language)
As he got closer and closer, muttering strange words, he immediately attracted the attention of several people.
Kanna noticed his gaze and turned her head. "Wow! A dark-skinned beauty!"
Hearing Kanna's words, the few people who had just refocused their attention on the situation because the young man walked over immediately burst out laughing.
Even if he was facing away or was seen from the side, the person approaching was clearly a young man, yet Kanna directly used the term "beauty." How could the onlookers keep a straight face?
Even the young man who had approached with a wary expression was stunned, as he had imagined many scenarios for their meeting, but this one was completely unexpected.
"It's Mr. Thorns," Melantha, also an excellent swordsman, introduced him.
Thorns glanced at Melantha, nodded, and then continued to stare at Kanna. "Answer me, my compatriot, has the sea brought a new mission?" (Aegir language)
"Give up! Kanna doesn't understand Aegir, and she hasn't been contaminated by the Seaborn," Kal'tsit's voice came from not far away.
At this moment, she was standing under the bridge nearby. Above her, Warfarin was once again suspended, spitting at her with a displeased expression.
"But Kanna said she ate those things, Doctor Kal'tsit!" Thorns' expression towards Kanna was still very serious.
"I know, but we were with the Inquisitor before leaving Iberia, and finally even conversed with Saint Carmen. If Kanna had been contaminated by creatures from the sea, do you think it would have escaped my eyes and theirs?" Kal'tsit was not flustered by this and directly brought up Saint Carmen, a living faith in the hearts of the Iberia people, to explain.
After hearing Kal'tsit's words, Thorns' gaze towards Kanna softened.
