In the library, Bianca was already starting to get worried.
She glanced at the wall clock in the library and muttered, "It has already been thirty minutes since GoldMiner entered the secret passage."
"He hasn't returned yet so something bad must have happened to him. As he had told me before, I have no choice but to return to the atrium and inform the others about GoldMiner's demise."
After Bianca had that decision in mind, she no longer guarded the secret passage and immediately left the library.
…
In the atrium, all four out of five teams were drinking either wine or juice.
Winston and Kuroneko had already returned since they didn't find anything in the pool other than the two engagement rings.
The same went for Kayden and Shirohige who had enough fun from the casino and were currently drinking wine after they were served by the bartender.
