[The other side of the coin is not so different, however. What were the Kenoma supposed to do? What would anyone have them do? Continue trying to destroy all worlds? Antagonize the Pleroma over forces they are no longer beholden to in this world? And for what? They're so weak, small, and powerless on their own. Unharmonized as she is, she's especially well placed to tell.
It's all so pointless. Can they really not put that energy towards something more productive than antagonizing each other? It's what compels Ciel to change the subject, which does appear to have some effect. If she may feel relieved however, it doesn't show on her face. She simply grows more pensive, taking the information in.]
A religious text...
[That has nothing to do with the jinba's home world, if she were to chance a guess. With how confused and flustered Hayame looked when she first asked, the Japanese sound of her name, and all the rumors that went around back in Achamoth, she did not give the impression of being a pious or studious woman. And if it's not for her, then it has to be for someone else. They just woke up on Kenos recently, that shouldn't have been enough time for her to develop a sudden interest in a different culture. Plus knowing the title of the book and what it's about without actually having it, wouldn't that imply she's learned of its existence from someone else? In which case... Could that person be be someone who's been on Horos, someone Ciel may also be acquainted with?
--Ah, but she's letting her thoughts get away from her. None of this conjecture will help them accomplish Hayame's goal any faster.]
I would try a different building, the one closest to Heliopolis. That hall there is dedicated to the study of religion, deities, and mythologies from all worlds, the library inside also has plenty of books about the topic. I found a copy of the Bible there earlier this week, a religious book from my world.
[She can't guarantee it, so she makes no promise. But after having spent a day touring the academic district to get a general idea of its layout, the place that specializes in studying faith does seem like the best bet for looking up sacred texts from other worlds.]
