Momo glanced at Lex first, then quietly dismissed the idea. No, not him—he's too slow.
His gaze shifted to Yanai and Setan. One had just given Mother flowers, the other ran faster… how was he supposed to choose?
After a moment of indecision, he turned to Nina for help. "Mother, which do you think is better—Uncle Yanai or Uncle Setan? I can't decide. Can you choose for me?"
Yanai and Setan both looked at Nina with bright, expectant eyes.
Pick me.
Lex, already eliminated, sighed inwardly. Ah… how enviable, having four legs.
Nina didn't hesitate long. She smiled at Momo. "Choose Uncle Yanai."
It was better for her to keep a bit of distance from Setan.
Momo nodded. "Okay, then I'll choose Uncle Yanai."
Yanai was overjoyed. Nina had chosen him!
Setan, on the other hand, felt a flicker of disappointment. Why didn't she pick me? It seemed he would have to try harder.
With a reluctant sigh, he stepped back.
Once the teams were set, Nina quickly laid out the rules.
