When it came to taste testing and feasting, there were no rules or ranks. Everyone snatched for the best and Noir was forced to fend for himself when Rino challenged Kragami to a game of elements for the last slice of mushroom pizza.
"Cat! Take this. I will secure roasted taro next. Don't let them steal the buns. We can share later."
An unknown lesser-ghoul lady shoved her buns towards Noir, who dodged someone else's hand at the table. He did not have time to think when someone else tried to challenge him for those buns.
Dissatisfied, Noir let them know that he wasn't a doormat and slapped the hands away using his tail while creating a barrier from shadow tendrils while hissing. His fur bristled, and the challenger backed off in haste, dropping their sliced toast with baked cheese.
