Meanwhile, Maria darted a faint glance at Liza. Apparently, she had heard how the others praised Liza for a job she didn't do.

“M-Maria... Why don't I help you fix your clothes this time?" Letting out a fake smile, Liza offered some help as she suddenly Leaned over to Maria, trying to smooth down her costume.

She also used the words “this time" on purpose, making it seem Like she had been working on Maria's make-up before.

But Maria replied flatly, "No, thanks."
