[How do we get out of here?]

[It isn't a problem, the person who activated the safe room can decide when to cancel a safe room.]

I told Aiden that, I'm not sure if he understood or not.

I continued.

[It also has a time limit, currently we still have an hour left.]

[Stop with the unnecessary information and let's get out of here, I don't care about this room, I just want to kill that sister of mine.]

Arrogant brat you're soon going to regret not listening to me.

[Ok I won't talk about it, but you need to know something about the pact of promises we made.]

[And what is that?]

[We each can ask a maximum of five questions each, the person who is questioned must answer every question and give a reasonable answer that can convince the other person.]

[Then how are the lies caught?]

Finally he asked a useful question, but.

[Sorry it is restricted. I can't tell you the reason, but you can ask me questions outside of the pact, it is my decision to lie or be honest then.]

[What is it meant by restricted?]

[Is it a question for the pact?]

I asked in a teasing tone.

[Ugh no it isn't.]

[Then I don't want to answer.]

The boy's expression became very grim.

[Whatever let's get out of here already.]

[Stop, we can't go out like this. We have to make a plan first, Alice is someone we can't face like this.]

[Huh? What do you mean?! Are we just gonna be avoiding her now?!]

[Hey keep it low, the outside can't hear us but you're still loud.]

Aiden took a deep breath at my remark.

[Ok ok I'm calm, tell me why can't we face Alice?]

[It is just because she is too powerful.]

I've seen her strength and experienced what it means to face her, that said, we need a plan.

[Then doesn't that mean we can't do anything?]

[No we can , there is going to be a quest, we can take advantage of it and face your sister then.]

[Quest? What is that?]

[Is that a pact question?]

I asked again in a teasing tone.

[Yes it is.]

I didn't think he'll waste his questions like this, but I have to answer.

[............]

[What did you say?]

[It is as I said earlier it is restricted, you'll know if you check your notifications.]

[What notifications?]

Honestly this boy hasn't even figured out that yet? Even after I told him about the pact of promises.

[Just wait a second, it is slow so it'll take a while.]

Aiden stared at me as though he didn't understand, well he didn't. After a moment we both received system notifications.

[[Pact of promises is used for the first time.]]
