The performance sent shivers down the spine, compelling the audience to move in sync, and left an irresistible urge to continue listening, forever. Rachel danced nimbly, her right hand subtly brushing against her waist as the rhythm of Pure Land repeated. As it reached the beginning, Ram opened her cherry lips and sang:
"Light the lanterns, crimson the full moon's glow
Wield the sleeves, like a butterfly's flutter
Graceful steps, unveil the grand feast
Let the night, let the world, lay the stage for this moment
Wait for the foliage to pour, moonlight like snow
Listen to the ceremonial music, step to the drum's beat, watch the sleeves twirl
Wait for the lingering smoke, to spread, along the edge of the red dress
A sleepless night, a tender and loving entanglement
A dance that stirs the heartstrings
The flickering candlelight, bright and then dim
Petals reflect your smile, captivating and dazzling
Enchanted, a butterfly kisses your brow
Tonight, by your side, is my pure land of bliss"
Attentive listeners immediately noticed the difference.
"This is..." Svaniya couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment; "The lyrics are different from before, could she have thought of them all by herself?"
Otozuki's eyes narrowed, and she tapped her ear lightly. Soon, the investigation results came in; "Yes, Miss, such a song and lyrics have never appeared in the Moonglow Empire before, perhaps they are from another empire."
Hearing this, Svaniya fell silent, her lips tightly pressed together. The surprise didn't end there. Next, it was Rem's turn to take the spotlight. Under Rachel's control, Rem's expression was earnest, and her movements were nimble as she danced in front, performing the enchanting dance, her legs encased in socks that accentuated an alternative allure.
"Frosty moonlight reflects off the lake, unaware of the verdant hills at dusk
Gentle breeze plays the strings, as the autumn clouds darken in layers
Dancing in the shadows, the lantern's bloom mistakenly cuts the vermilion
Let the hustle and bustle, let the falsehoods, intrude upon the peach blossom dream
The world is fleeting, humanity enduring, madness is of no consequence
Dressed in splendid rainbow attire, singing passionately
Against the current of time, upstream, unafraid of being forgotten
Three thousand worlds, three thousand nights
Butterflies everywhere, at the ends of heaven and earth
The flickering candlelight, who has seen the prosperity's rise and fall
Cast aside everything, for the purest sincerity
Indulge in the illusory flowers and the moon's reflection in the water"
Through the vocalizer placed in the throat area, adjusting the frequency, Rachel successfully recreated Rem's voice. Although those days made her ears almost blister, at this moment, hearing Rem singing Pure Land in her voice, Rachel felt an inexplicable touch of emotion welling up, making it all worthwhile.
Now, Svaniya was completely speechless.
"Miss, if you wish, I can send spies lurking in other empires to investigate, and we should be able to find the origin of these lyrics," Otozuki didn't finish her sentence, but Svaniya understood.
