After the announcement, Noya shifted her gaze from her daughter and politely nodded to the staff member before getting ready to head to the arena.
Seeing her mother about to leave, the little girl, though understanding it was for work, still showed a face of reluctance. She clung to her mother's clothes, acting coquettishly, refusing to let go.
