After talking with Tenether for a while, Michelle finally moved on to ask him how she could understand him after she fainted.
And Tenether somehow explained it. But with his childish ways, Michelle had to think about it for a while before she understood it.
To put it simply, Tenether sent his soul energy—the void—into Michelle's head so it could enter her soul. There, the void worked on the part of her soul that was in charge of communication and altered it so Michelle could understand its meows.
And to achieve that, it basically made it so that Michelle could understand all monsters and beasts, including those who couldn't speak, if she had a contract with them.
"I have to thank you for that," Michelle said with a smile, finally activating her Shadow Spirit Steps again. From the peak to where she had just been was a trail of footsteps, and from that place, the footsteps disappeared like they never existed.
