That brief moment of fragility and self doubt faded like a dream. Maple Syrup quickly returned to her usual ease, once again the flawless Maple Syrup with no visible cracks. She even curled her lips slightly and tapped her chest at BS Rita, this time an unmistakable provocation.
The gesture made Rita recall several past experiences of having her heart literally pierced by this woman, and an almost phantom ache stirred in her chest.
Rita shot Maple Syrup a glare and turned away to look for the seventh tier player. That player had already been cornered on the third deck by Nivalis and B80.
Another flag planting duel.
Rita pushed the invasion progress of Beacon and Verdant forward by another 20 percent.
This time the rewards were slightly different from before, but Rita still chose the option that granted the key player a random S tier skill.
At seven thirty, most players stopped whatever they were doing. Even those who had been walking came to an unconscious halt.
