Watching BS Rita flee in her small boat, Maple Syrup let out a quiet chuckle.
Pine Bloom, who had been avoiding BS Rita's gaze the whole time, frowned slightly and turned to look at Maple Syrup, clearly thinking something over.
At the same time, Yet oranigePomango and Verdant Mojie, standing not far away, also looked over.
Maple Syrup fell silent. What are you all looking at me for?
Even Crab joined in. It hopped onto the railing and scurried up to Maple Syrup, stopping right in front of her face.
"When that little Mechanoid said that, were you…"
"No," Maple Syrup cut in without hesitation.
Pine Bloom said, "It hadn't even finished talking. How do you already know what you're denying?"
Maple Syrup shot back, "Whose side are you on?"
Whichever side Pine Bloom was on, one thing was certain. Not long after BS Rita fled in embarrassment, Maple Syrup also left.
