At this moment, after flying around with Maple Burn in her arms, Maple Syrup gently set Maple Burn down and walked over to Maple Mu, who had a jealous look on her face. Maple Syrup turned her back to Maple Mu, placed her hands on her knees, and sweetly said, "Come on up."
Rita expected Maple Mu, who had clearly seen many battles, to be a bit awkward. But to her surprise, Maple Mu smiled and jumped up, wrapping her arms around Maple Syrup from behind and resting her head against her. She softly called out, "Mother."
How shameless! How could she be fighting over affection with a little kid?!
Rita tried to think, but couldn't come up with anyone from Eclipse Vanguard who could match this dynamic. As she was lost in thought, she suddenly felt herself being picked up by someone—it was Maple Cang.
Maple Cang gently bumped her forehead against Rita's and smiled, saying, "Is it okay if I carry you?"
