When he was drunk, he told us that there was a secret passage leading to the other side of the mountain. They actually took advantage of the steep mountain and built a tunnel underneath it.

"We'll do our best to gather the information. Besides, all the girls are working together. So, I don't deserve your praise."

Noel smiled and said to Anna, "In that case, we'll check the passage first. There might be a chance that we have to use it. Of course, we need to locate and map the passage. We might be able to find a spot where we can dig to turn it into our escape route."

"That's indeed the case."

"I'll try to delay the movement of the Demon Banner Army," Noel added.

"In that case, I'll locate the passage." Anna nodded in agreement.
