"Want me to curse it? I can start anytime."
Gabriel's voice was clearly calm, yet to everyone's ears, it sounded like decadent music drifting up from the Abyss.
Everyone spoke almost at once. "No, no, no..."
Rabbit Girl said, "Using a cannon to swat a mosquito is completely unnecessary."
Gray Porcelain nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Right, no need, no need."
Angel said, "Next time a Dream Beast attacks the Dream Crystal Plain, I'll let you out to curse it. The rest of the time, you'd better not use curses... We can't handle it."
Gabriel seemed a little disappointed and let out a faint "Oh." "Then what do we do with this statue? Guess?"
Rabbit Girl said, "Guess."
Even if they guessed wrong and had to take another route, it was still better than letting Gabriel curse something.
"I'll guess. My luck... is pretty good." Angel voluntarily took on the responsibility of "guessing." The others had no objections and silently waited for him to choose.
Angel stood before the two statues, looking from left to right. He seemed to be studying their details, yet also seemed to be waiting for inspiration to strike.
A moment later, he walked up to the Starlight Inchworm with thick stripes on its body.
"This one."
With that, Angel reached out and directly touched the statue before him.
Bang—
The instant he touched the statue, the light screen shattered into a faint white glow, revealing the path ahead.
"?!"
"He guessed right!" Gray Porcelain cried out, excitement shining in her eyes.
Gabriel extended his feelers as well, seemingly intending to wrap Angel up and spin with him in celebration.
Angel instinctively wanted to resist, but after hesitating for a moment, he let Gabriel coil around his arm and spin him in place several times.
As Angel
