Dante noticed the silence shrouding the Bowl of Fortune soon after his arrival, which made him think the party was over. That said, there was still an hour before midnight, so it didn't make sense for all the guests to leave before then. Seeing that the front door was open, he pulled it aside and peeked inside. Immediately, four pairs of eyes turned in his direction.
Finn opened his mouth to say something, but then he saw the petite old woman leap from the counter, almost reaching the ceiling. Watching her fall in his direction, pipe in hand, Dante closed his eyes and clenched his teeth.
BONK!
The blow echoed through the noodle shop, and everyone who heard it winced in pain.
"YOU IDIOT!!!" Nobara yelled. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!"
Landing beside him, she proceeded to smack him several times, forcing him to jump away.
"Hey hey hey! What's gotten into you, old hag!!?"
"What's gotten into me? WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO ME!!? You take off like that and you ask what's gotten into ME!!?"
