"You've come all this way, but not going in at the door, wouldn't that be quite impolite?"
Fushimi Roku looked sincere, saying he and Otomachi Hayashi hit it off instantly, and the latter felt the same way, but was too shy to say it out loud. Now, hearing Fushimi Roku say this, Otomachi Hayashi felt both gratified and guilty, so he changed the subject and said, "It's more lively here during the day; it might be a bit deserted at night... Let me take you to the South District to have a look."
As he spoke, he turned the steering wheel, and the beam of the high beam lights swept across, revealing a cluster of low factory buildings to Fushimi Roku.
Compared to other shrines, the religious facilities of the Aum Truth Sect are quite simple, probably built in this style to save costs. Outside the factory area, there was a vast wilderness. Spring had not yet returned, and as far as the eye could see, there was nothing but yellow withered grass.
