- Chapter 8: Record of Moving to the City in the 90s 8 That was what daily school life was like, and there were no weekends off, either.

The Underworld was especially suited to nurturing souls, so perhaps after being reborn, the strength of her soul was greater. That was probably why studying felt much easier for her now.
