"Looking for me?"
Neo heard a familiar voice.
He turned around and saw Leonora.
She had grown, emotionally and physically, after spending months in Underworld.
Physically, the biggest change were the two thick horns on her forehead.
"Oh…" Her eyes widened, and she let out a smile. "Neo?"
"Yeah, it’s me."
Leonora passed a bag to the spider-shaped monster next to her.
"Can you get these materials checked on the counter while I talk to him?" Leonora spoke to the spider monster, Selene, who was her teammate.
"O-okay," Selene answered, her voice trembling slightly.
Leonora beckoned Neo to come out of the building to talk and went out first.
Neo followed behind her.
As he passed Selene, he spoke up, "It’s nice to see you."
"S-same."
Selene struggled to speak.
Neo’s aura was too powerful.
The others in the hall were the same, unable to handle Neo’s presence.
Even though he kept his presence at a minimum at all times, he was still a Heavenbreaker.
It was normal for low-ranked beings to feel afraid of him.
The outside air was cooler.
Neo found Leonora at the stall next to the Reaper building.
"Selene is your teammate now?" he asked as he approached her.
"Yes, we became teammates when I found her along with Gwen."
"Gwen? How did you find her?"
Before Neo entered the Shadow Trail, he had met Selene in Underworld.
Together, they had defeated a powerful monster who managed to turn Gwen di Langley and Kendrick di Valemont into his puppets.
"I was searching for Gwen and Kendrick, and…"
Neo nodded while listening to her explanation.
Gwen di Langley, Leonora von Villers, Kendrick di Valemont, Christian von Hasburg.
These four died during the S-rank Shadow Window mission.
Among them, Christian entered the cycle of reincarnation after being judged by the Jury of End.

Gwen was in Leonora’s Soul Hunter team.
Leonora had become a successful Soul Hunter, thanks to her sky-high talent.
At the pace she was progressing, she could soon become a disciple of a Grim Reaper.
In fact, she had completed the requirements to become a disciple already.
Right now, she was waiting for a Grim Reaper to approach her and make her their student.
"I thought you were dead too," Leonora spoke.
"Why?" Neo asked.
The two strolled the streets while chatting.
"Gwen said she saw you in Underworld. I asked Selene, and she said the same," Leonora paused before she continued. "But I never found your name on bulletin boards."
Names and pictures of souls who arrived in Underworld were posted on bulletin boards.
Soul Hunters would choose one of the souls for their mission and find them before the souls got turned into monsters due to Underworld’s corruption.
"I never found out why your name was missing, and the Grim Reapers refused to answer," Leonora said.
She scratched her cheek with a smile and added,
