The situation before my eyes was simply too eerily abnormal.
Just moments ago, I was standing on the cliffs within Crab Clan territory, but in a blink, I found myself on a distant shore where the Divine Cabinet stands.
The seas of the Marine Country had just reclaimed their normal azure after a bout of red tide, yet now, for reasons unknown, the waters had reverted to the ominous dark red preceding the red tide's arrival.
Then there was the moon above.
Kamiyagawa had observed before that the moon's phase in Marine Country was not much different from that in the real world, waxing and waning over a month.
The rise of Munakata Taisha corresponds to the time of the moon's concealment, when it can't be seen in the night sky this aligns with the end or beginning of the lunar month.
Yet now, a bright full moon was clearly hanging in the sky.
"What's going on? An illusion, or something else? Could it be..."
