[Deuce's timing is good. The loud noise startled more people than just Hiyori, sending a couple of staff members over to investigate. But by the time they get to where the noise came from, the culprit (the cauldron) is gone! Disappeared into thin air! No evidence left behind, which is even better for Hiyori's half-formed escape plan.

And, wow, just look at the boy smile. So happy to be praised (even though Hiyori scolded him in the same breath), so happy to be chosen. It makes sense, of course, being chosen by him should be a cause of celebration, but his reaction is still oddly endearing. Not only that, but he hasn't even dropped the clothes he's carrying! Yep, no doubt about it! He's a winner!

Though even the self-absorbed Hiyori is a little taken aback by the whole "Boss" thing. He blinks slowly, his smile turning a tad awkward.]

I'm not sure you need to go that far... Being a boss sounds tiring. Though if it makes you that happy, I suppose I'll allow it.

[And now that that's settled, he clears his throat!]

Anyway, our first step is to find the hidden exit. There's got to be one somewhere, but this place is huge. I do have one of those maps they were passing out, but it figures that they wouldn't include that on it. I've already ruled out some places it isn't, though. And I do have a back-up getaway driver, so the good news is that when we do find the exit, you can just focus on your cauldron thing! Or any other spells you think are useful.
