Nooka’s emotions were very restrained, and Angel could not perceive its thoughts through emotions. As for observing through expressions, it was also difficult to achieve.
Angel really couldn’t distinguish any fluctuations in a white mouse’s expression.
However, Nooka did not directly attack him, does this mean he has temporarily muddled through?
Nooka didn’t say anything polite or cordial, and directly took a seat. After it sat down, the oppressive atmosphere around did not diminish. From the expressions of the other guests, it seemed they were accustomed to it, perhaps this was just Nooka’s usual demeanor?
Like when Angel encountered the legendary wizard——Frost, he actually didn’t feel much oppressive aura from him. This was because Frost intentionally restrained his aura to avoid inadvertently harming others.
Frost’s behavior was a reflection of his values.
But Nooka was not human, nor did it have human morality and ethics. In the Nightmare Plane, where class conflicts were severe, it was understandable that it didn’t restrain its own aura.
After all, for Nooka, this aura was natural, just like humans breathing air. In contrast, Frost’s restraint was a self-imposed shackling.
Realizing this, Angel became more accepting of the oppressive environment around him, and subconsciously stroked the spotted puppy.
Nooka also saw the spotted puppy in Angel’s arms, but it didn’t say anything, just glanced at it and looked away, as if everything was normal.
“Now that everyone is here, when can we dine?” Perhaps accustomed to Nooka’s oppression, Da Vichyssoise was not as trembling as before, even thinking about eating: “Or do you want the adorable Da Vichyssoise to turn you into a box of rainbow cake?”
Da Vichyssoise looked at the floating book Mad with resentment.
Mad glanced at Nooka, although he didn’t speak, his questioning intent was clear. Nooka nodded at him.
After receiving Nooka’s approval, Mad didn’t immediately announce the start of the dinner. Instead, he turned his gaze to Angel.
Although Angel appeared lazy and casual, he was actually paying attention to every move in the room, to profile the psychological states and personality traits of the guests. Therefore, Angel also noticed the silent interaction between Mad and Nooka.
A thought flashed in his mind, and he understood Mad’s intention.
——Probably asking if they should start Dining.
Angel casually nodded.
Seeing this, Mad’s large eyes flashed with understanding. He then opened the closed pages of his book, releasing a multitude of fireworks and streamers, accompanied by a laudatory symphony. Mad loudly announced: “The dinner begins!”
Following the ceremonial celebration, Mad turned a new page in —The Nurture Diary of Mad Woody—.
What was recorded on this page was unknown, but as Mad turned it, the page began to emit a multitude of colorful lights.
These colorful lights formed rainbow bridges in the air, from which a variety of foods appeared and descended.
The plates on the table immediately grew limbs and ran back and forth on the table, catching the falling food.
Perhaps they were trained, as in a few seconds, all the plate creatures returned full. It was unclear what they did while running, but each plate now had an exquisitely arranged dish.
In front of Angel appeared five plates, at first glance, all delicacies, with enticing aromas, but it was unknown what they were made of.
Angel observed the other guests and noticed that the food on their plates was different from his. On Menavarro’s plate was a clump of mush, while Boil Gentleman’s food was twisted worms. The Black and White Maids’ plate even contained some metallic crops.
It seemed that the banquet considered everyone’s tastes.
However, Angel didn’t know what to make of the food on his plate.
With the appearance of food, the once cold banquet became somewhat lively.
But it was just seemingly lively.
Apart from Da Vichyssoise, almost no one touched their food. They weren’t here specifically to eat.
Angel, on the other hand, started to eat. Unlike Da Vichyssoise’s gluttony, Angel appeared more elegant, yet casual.
He casually picked a rainbow-shaped pastry and put it in his mouth.
Angel didn’t chew but used some spells to wrap the pastry with a layer of Nightmare aura. As it reached his esophagus, he pulled it into his Nightmare Domain.
He did this because he didn’t know whether the pastry was good or bad for him. If it was prepared according to Shava’s standards, Shava might eat it, but it could be poison to him. Hence, he pulled the food into the Nightmare Domain.
He could have chosen not to eat, but Angel wanted to maintain a persona of ‘indifference’. Not eating at all would seem too constrained and could be seen as disrespectful.
A bit of casualness seemed more natural and unconstrained.
However, Angel worried about his actions being noticed, as the one opposite him, Nooka, might be beyond legendary. Still, he did it, as Angel wasn’t alone now; he had a spotted puppy with him…
Due to his attention to detail, Angel noticed that the spotted puppy could resist oppression; and through detailed analysis, he felt a highly energetic, almost distorting aura around the puppy.
Within this range, all oppression and energy couldn’t approach, as if it were a law domain… or a law of higher order, with an ‘unreasonable’ force of absoluteness.
Angel understood that this ‘unreasonableness’ must be a mysterious power.
Because of this, Angel was sure he wouldn’t be energy-probed near the spotted puppy, hence his actions.
Perhaps Nooka could see through the laws released by the spotted puppy, but if Nooka did, an energy clash would occur, and Angel would sense it immediately.
But based on Angel’s profile of Nooka, he probably wouldn’t do so. It wouldn’t be worth it, as attacking Angel would mean offending both ‘Shava’ and ‘Minister Dim’, represented by the spotted puppy.
As expected, after Angel ate the pastry, Nooka showed no reaction.
Angel didn’t eat continuously, choosing a few representative foods to pull into the Nightmare Domain. The rest, he seemingly casually fed to the spotted puppy.
Angel’s eating also influenced the other guests.
They previously refrained from eating out of politeness in front of Shava. But now that Shava was eating, it would be inappropriate for them to continue to abstain.
As the guests began to eat, the floating book Mad silently heaved a sigh of relief, while secretly praising Shava.
If not for Angel’s initiative in eating, the atmosphere of the banquet would have probably been stiffer. As the organizer, it would have been responsible.
