System vs Rebirth

Since they had reached an agreement, Noel and Milfa finally shook their hands, sealing the deal.

Milfa didn't realize that Noel had ended up taking the initiative in their conversation like what Milfa did with the other two captains.

There was one weapon Milfa could use previously, which was to show her loyalty to the Demon Banner Army. As long as she mentioned that her loyalty would remain in the Demon Banner Army, Noel would stop bothering her.

But it was already too late. Noel ended up taking the initiative and forced her to give that promise. There was no taking back after this.

Milfa soon realized that option once Noel fell silent, but she knew it was impossible to redo everything. She could only resign to her fate, swearing that she wouldn't be swayed by Noel.

Though, there was no telling whether she would become one of his vassals or not. After all, even if she wasn't there, Dimitri was still with him.

After that realization, Noel finally lessened the mood by explaining the situation around the facility. This was their original goal after all.

Milfa also saw how meticulous Noel was in his work. He had done a lot of research after his first investigation and even put up a few hypotheses regarding the current situation.

With all the details he provided, it seemed that the rest of the explorations would have an easier time.

After finishing their business outside, they finally returned to the fort. Milfa had to take her time to prepare for the exploration after all. Even with her strength, taking an exploration lightly would cost her dearly.
