"It was that detestable Deity who claims to come from Takamagahara."
"Let's go, don't provoke him. The Princess has ordered us; we cannot afford to provoke him and told us to show him respect, so as to prevent his wrath."

The two Mermaid Abbots clearly noticed the arrival of Kamiyagawa, whispered to each other for a moment, then turned and plunged into the sea.
Kamiyagawa didn't pay much attention to them and continued to walk forward.
After a few more steps, he suddenly heard a peculiar sound.
It began as an ethereal chant, followed by a soft, lyric-less song, murmuring like distant stars.
It echoed like a silvery spring, flowing and reverberating along the coast.
Every note of the chant seemed to carry a deep affectionate tale about the ocean. The miasma on Ichijima Island was stirred by the singing, thinning out, and the moonlight, previously blocked by the thick air above, now sprinkled through to the island with the singing.
