Senritsu uses enhanced hearing to track people in rain Shalnark previously investigated the Nostrade clan hotel Takurui Beach Hotel linked to Nostrade clan Group of five or six people includes at least one woman
Kurapika is in a difficult situation requiring help Estinto is a musical term meaning as soft and still as possible Gon has a habit of moving silently Senritsu can detect presence through sound even when footsteps are estinto
The group is tailing targets through a rainy city street while maintaining distance. Killua demonstrates the ability to distinguish individuals by their unique walking patterns. Zetsu is not needed due to the safe distance from the targets.
Six individuals are traveling together in vehicles. The target of interest has arrived in the area. A bearded man previously observed is present. An additional person not seen the previous day is noted.
Dancholi wears a black coat with a reversed cross on the back. Dancholi has black hair and an imposing presence that deters others. The targets remain together as a group for safety. Leorio is currently near the Motoba Building heading west.
Targets are being followed by train to Kastour Station Senritsu uses her hearing to track while maintaining distance Leorio is driving separately to support the pursuit
Targets changed plans and exited at Ripa Station The auction location is downtown near the hotel Killua spots the change in direction at the station
Kurapika is speaking on a cell phone. The group has switched hotel rooms. The scene takes place in heavy rain. The location is directly in front of a station. A car is driving past the station.
Footsteps tap rhythmically along a striped floor as several people walk forward. A young woman in a cap stands with eyes closed, hand raised to her head, listening intently. She speaks: "I can still hear voices coming from that area. With the noise of the rain, sounds are harder to hear, but... Yeah. But on the 3rd, when Shalnark checked the site, they supposedly checked out. Takurui Beach Hotel was one of the places the Nostrade clan registered, right? There's at least one woman. From the sounds of footsteps, there's 5 or 6 of them. They're clever." A devastated scene shows bodies on the ground amid rubble and impact marks with "ZAT" and "ZAAAAA" sound effects. The woman continues: "That's because it's my specialty." Beside her, a hooded figure replies, "Wow! Gon and I trained a lot, but I still can't hear anything. They're going in the opposite direction."

Kurapika walks ahead down a rainy street while a figure in a white coat follows at a distance. Gon appears with a surprised expression marked by a question mark. Gon and the woman in the cap discuss: "Since he asked for my help, Kurapika must really be in a tight situation. Of course. Yeah... He'd do everything alone if he could, right?" The woman explains her ability: "Even if I'm near you, they remain 'estinto.'" Gon reacts with shock: "Ex- How'd you know? Aren't you an assassin?" She replies, "You're the most silent person I've met. You're skilled. Ah... It's a habit I haven't lost, moving silently." They continue walking through the rain as Gon processes the information.

In the pouring rain, Gon dashes ahead while Kurapika and Killua follow closely behind. "STOP!" someone calls out. Kurapika asks, "Are you sure?" Killua replies, "I don't really enjoy it, but... I can see why Kurapika is counting on you." The group trails a crowd of people holding umbrellas along a city street. A voice notes, "This road... 100 meters from here. At the end of the street." Keeping their distance, Killua observes the pedestrians and remarks, "Keeping this distance between us and them, it's useless to use Zetsu, there's no risk they'd see us." Gon responds with wide eyes, "Incredible. No need of a system." Killua continues, "Each has his own unique way of walking. Small differences." Kurapika asks, "You can tell despite all these people?" From a high vantage point overlooking the street below, a long-haired figure in a hat smiles and says, "I'll check if our target's there." Another voice instructs, "Wait here for a few minutes."

A full-page illustration shows Neon Nostrade sitting cross-legged against a bubbly background. She wears a striped shirt, baggy pants, and a head wrap with dangling ornaments. A grotesque winged creature with an open mouth floats beside her, connected by a swirling energy. The page is labeled "Nº110" and displays the title "4-SEPTEMBRE-1". Below the art, bold text reads "NÉON NOSTRAD (SPECIFICATION NEN)" followed by the description: "She writes predictions, written as four paragraphs each. The person in question gives his name, date of birth, and blood type, and she writes it on the same paper (a picture if necessary when the person isn't present.) There's always a warning if it's a bad prediction. If the warning is respected, it's possible to avoid what's predicted. She's unable to predict her own future."

A black sedan speeds through the streets with motion lines streaking behind it. Inside the vehicle, Gon and Killua observe the scene ahead. "There are six of them all together," Gon notes. "She's not alone," he adds. Killua responds, "Yeah." Gon then spots something and calls out, "Killua? The one we're looking for is here." A sudden "GULP!" reaction panel shows shock. In a wide establishing shot of a rainy city street lined with buildings and storefronts, a hooded figure in a dark coat with a reversed cross on the back stands on an overpass, arms crossed. The figure speaks: "And our friend, the bearded man, is here too. There's also a guy we didn't see yesterday."

The hooded figure continues describing the target: "With a reversed cross on his back. He's wearing a black coat. What does he look like?" A full back view reveals a tall man in a long black coat with a large white fur collar and an ornate cross emblem on the back; the figure is identified as "Dancholi." The hooded observer adds, "I suppose it's him... But he seems... infallible. No one seems to dare to act naturally. He has black hair. I can't see his face, only his back. They seem to be completely on guard." Below, a high-angle view shows a group of people walking together on a tiled walkway inside a building. The hooded figure concludes, "We won't have a chance. As long as they remain in a group." At the bottom, Leorio appears on the phone wearing sunglasses and a hat, saying, "In front of Motoba Building. I'm walking on Continental Avenue, heading west. Where are you right now? Give it to me."

Leorio speeds south in his car as a voice commands him. Gon and Senritsu watch from a train window. Senritsu notes a station ahead and asks if they can board the same train as their targets. She adds that crowding depends on luck. Inside the station, Gon and Senritsu confirm the captives were taken by the same train heading to Kastour Station. Senritsu keeps her distance while staying in the same car. On the crowded platform and inside the train car, passengers sit and stand as the train departs with a loud rattle.

Gon confirms the auction is on the downtown side, matching their hotel direction. Senritsu identifies Kastour Station. At the station, Senritsu reads while a man in a robe passes with others. Killua appears among the crowd. The group heads down an escalator toward the Salome department store. Killua notices the targets have gotten off at Ripa Station instead, reacting with surprise as a phone rings.

Kurapika stands at a reception desk holding a phone to his ear. A voice on the line calls out, "KURAPIKA? WHAT'S GOING ON?" followed by "HELLO ?" Rain pours down outside a tall hotel building marked with the sound effect "tuboot." A figure in a wide hat and sunglasses stares at the building and says, "THAT'S WHERE OUR HOTEL IS." and "I DON'T LIKE THIS." A close-up reveals a sweating man with slicked-back hair exclaiming, "THEY KNOW WE SWITCHED ROOMS?!" and "WHAT ?!" Nearby, the same man reaches for several bags while saying, "I'LL TAKE THOSE, AT LEAST." A woman with a ponytail turns away and declares, "I'LL LEAVE THE BAGS HERE." and "I'M NOT STAYING HERE ANY LONGER!" The bottom panel shows a wide city view in front of a large station building with classical columns. A car speeds past with the sound "CRIII X!" A caption reads, "WE'RE IN FRONT OF THE STATION."

The woman in the hat and sunglasses continues speaking from the car, warning, "THEY MAY DETECT OUR HOSTILE PRESENCE." A wide shot shows the rainy city square with a statue and the station in the background. She adds, "NOT AT ALL." and "DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD WAIT A BIT MORE?" Another panel reveals the car parked near the station as she states, "THAT'S THE LIMIT OF MY PERIMETER." Gon is mentioned in a thought bubble. In close-up she explains, "UNLESS THEY'RE DISTRACTED." and "WITH THEIR SKILLS, THAT'S THE MOST TIME WE'LL PROBABLY GET." followed by "FROM HERE, I CAN REACH THEM IN HALF A SECOND." and "FROM THIS POINT, I CAN ATTACK THEM WITHOUT THEM NOTICING MY PRESENCE." A dramatic black panel shows only Gon's wide eyes and a single sweat drop. The final panels return to the station entrance where a small figure stands and a curtain-like effect appears with an exclamation mark.

A tense gathering of figures fills the frame. In the foreground, a stern person in a long black coat with spiked hair stands with arms crossed, looking downward. Behind them, a man with a topknot and goatee raises a clenched fist while speaking. A girl with long light hair glances sideways. A small figure wearing glasses holds an open book and reads aloud. A close-up reveals a person with large round sunglasses and wild hair. Below, another panel shows a figure with curly hair reading intently from a book.

Gon stands alone against a vast empty white background. He wears a light-colored jacket over a dark shirt, dark shorts, and tall black boots. His hands are tucked into his pockets. His spiky black hair frames a neutral expression as he faces forward, body slightly angled.
