Chapter 202
From the temple, a faint song could be heard.
“...Isn’t that a hymn?”
“I’m a follower of the Moon Church, so I hear them occasionally... it sounds really similar.”
The priests of the Church of the Sun looked somewhat displeased.
“...If we must be precise, the format does resemble a hymn...”
“No matter how much it resembles Earth’s music, we can’t equate something from another dimension to it.”
“It might be a clue of some sort, but I don’t like it.”
A hymn was a song to praise a god and nurture one’s faith. Considering that this place was once revealed to have been a temple of the Sun, the fact that this strange hymn was echoing here was nothing short of blasphemy—an insult to the Sun and a celebration of something wicked.
The faint song reverberating throughout the temple was eerie due to its slight dissonance. Its soft melody was languid, like the sag of a summer twilight, and its tone—resembling the cry of a beast—was incomprehensible.
It wavered like a whale’s call drifting through seawater.
“......”
“...In any case.”
