The small concert also came to an end, and the four members of Sunset Blazes packed up their luggage after the performance.
"Are you leaving, big sister?" Ifrit, still savoring the music, seemed a little reluctant.
Alty reached out and ruffled Ifrit's golden hair. "Things here are over, and there's no more inspiration, so of course we have to leave! But there's still a long road ahead, and we'll have many more chances to meet!"
When the Rhodes Island group entered earlier, Alty had noticed something different about Ifrit. After this interaction, she showed a knowing expression, then looked at Dahlia beside her. "You must be the little water-person! You're really cute."
As a sea behemoth, she instinctively favored Dahlia, who symbolized the fire element, over Ifrit. Of course, this preference was based purely on feeling and did not affect her likes or dislikes.
"Next time, could Sunset Blazes come to Rhodes Island for a concert? There are many of your fans on Rhodes Island, including our current leader, Amiya; she also loves your songs."
Kanna was not surprised by Sunset Blazes' departure. After all, for Iberians who understood this band, they wouldn't want them to stay here too long, as no one was sure how much damage a group of behemoths, if they lost control, would inflict upon The Inquisition here.
Yet, with "behemoths" as their background, even Carmen wouldn't choose to attack this band without absolute certainty.
In this situation, if they wanted to leave, The Inquisition would actually be eager for it and wouldn't hinder or inspect them excessively.
"No problem! But our schedule is full for now. We'll contact you when we're free!" Alty made an OK gesture, then, carrying her instrument, led the other three towards a sedan that had been prepared outside.
Kanna and her group watched Sunset Blazes leave. After returning to the courtyard, Kanna opened her personal terminal and remotely uploaded the recording of the concert directly to PRTS, sharing it with a few good friends far away on Rhodes Island.
Inside Rhodes Island, Amiya stretched, finally having finished her work. She walked to the cafeteria, preparing to enjoy her lunch.
As soon as she sat down, her communicator began to flash. Opening it, she found it was a video Kanna had sent back to the Rhodes Island landship from thousands of miles away.
Looking at the hour-plus video, Amiya sighed. There was a time when Rhodes Island's external communications were controlled by various nations, making long-distance message transmission impossible.
It wasn't until Kanna and Kaltsit formally established diplomatic relations between Rhodes Island and Iberia that, with the help of Iberia's communication system, Rhodes Island finally opened a channel for information in the southern part of Terra. Not long ago, Leithanien's Northern Alliance also agreed to share communication base stations with Rhodes Island. After this, Rhodes Island finally extended its communication network to cover two-thirds of Terra.
From then on, whether Operators encountered danger outside or news came from various offices, Rhodes Island's landship could quickly learn about it and arrange support.
"Over an hour, I wonder what Kanna sent!" Just seeing the duration of over an hour made Amiya want to complain.
Opening the video, she first heard the cheerful voices of Ifrit and Kanna, followed by Saria's voice, like an old father, trying to stop them.
Soon, the camera panned to the distance. Amiya's eyes widened in surprise as she watched the video, never expecting Kanna and her group to encounter the Sunset Blazes band by the sea in Iberia.
As the music began, Sunset Blazes' song emanated from her personal terminal. Operators nearby, hearing the singing, all looked over.
Amiya called out to the cafeteria, "Chef, may I borrow the projection area in the cafeteria?"
"Of course, no problem, Amiya. You're going to play Sunset Blazes' songs, right? To be honest, I'm a fan of theirs too…" The cafeteria manager also heard the music coming from Amiya's side, a smile on his face.
"Thank you!" Amiya politely thanked him, then connected her personal terminal to the player there. Soon, everyone in the cafeteria saw a small courtyard appear on the projection screen, usually used for various mealtime videos, and standing in the courtyard was none other than Terra's currently popular Sunset Blazes band.
And the voices of Kanna and a few others coming from the video made everyone realize that this was a recording of a "private" small concert.
Many fans of the Sunset Blazes band began to feel envious, wondering why Kanna and her group were so lucky to witness a Sunset Blazes concert firsthand while on a mission.
Soon, the news of the Sunset Blazes concert being played here spread throughout Rhodes Island. Countless Operator fans of Sunset Blazes rushed to the cafeteria, surrounding it so tightly that not even a drop of water could get through. Since it was already mealtime, many people also grabbed a meal in the cafeteria, eating and enjoying the concert, making the manager smile so wide his mouth almost split.
His predecessors had said that anything involving Kanna in the cafeteria was bound to be trouble, but in his opinion, it wasn't as terrible as they said. Hadn't he just made a fortune thanks to Miss Kanna's video?
He planned to treat Kanna and her group to a good meal at his place once they returned to Rhodes Island, to express his gratitude.
Back in Gran Faro, Kanna felt very satisfied after sending out the video. There was the joy of sharing music with good friends, and also the pleasure of "showing off"!
It was like getting a double-yellow ten-pull in gacha games and eagerly posting it in all the game groups you knew—only the person experiencing it truly knew how satisfying it was.
In the church on the other side, discussions about Gran Faro and the lighthouse continued until the afternoon.
The Abyssal Hunters, however, emerged at noon. They found the Rhodes Island group resting in the courtyard.
Because Gladiia had previously promised Kaltsit that if she couldn't return to Aegir smoothly, she would temporarily join Rhodes Island while on land. She wasn't opposed to this decision, as both Laurentina and Skadi had joined this organization called Rhodes Island.
And since she wouldn't choose to join any land nations, she could conveniently use her Rhodes Island identity to travel across Terra.
All she had to contribute was information about the Seaborn and some technology that, in her opinion, was completely outdated.
To Gladiia, these items were all tradable. Furthermore, Rhodes Island had Kanna and Dahlia, two 'monsters' completely unlike any creature on Terra. She was very eager to understand them, hoping to see if their strange abilities could be adapted for Aegir's technology.
