Before Kyran could tell Neo why he called, the latter abruptly stood after seeing Cyneah.

Neo looked at her, then back to Kyran excitedly, and exclaimed, "Ah! You have truly found the Mistress, Master! That's good. Senior Zephyr will also be happy!"

Cyneah tried to get used to being called Mistress by the people around Kyran, but hearing it now while knowing the meaning behind him still embarrassed her. She wanted to dig a hole and hide!

On the other hand, True Void gawked at Neo in surprise.

"Oi, Oi! How did you—? More importantly, when did you—?" Because of his confusion, he could barely complete the questions running in his head. He looked at Kyran once more and demanded, "How did he get here?"

"I summoned him."

"'Summoned...'" True Void repeated in disbelief. But his doubts were immediately dispelled after recalling what Kyran said about not merely being unconscious these past weeks.
