I've made up my mind to renovate this shrine... Fujiwara Reya took a deep breath and picked up the coffee cup.
There was no coffee in the cup. He shook his head slightly and placed the cup back on the saucer.
"Director Takeuchi, I'd like to remind you." Fujiwara Reya shifted to a cold tone, staring intently at Director Takeuchi's face, "My aim is to renovate the shrine, not to expand it."
"It's about the same thing..." Director Takeuchi held a cigarette in one hand and turned a golden lighter with the other.
"There's a big difference," Fujiwara Reya said calmly, "I just want Asakusa Shrine restored to its original size, that's all. There will be no outward expansion, nor will it encroach on the survival space of peers."
"..."
For a moment, Director Takeuchi didn't know what to say.
After a brief pause, he extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray, looking at Fujiwara Reya while touching his chin bristles, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Natsuki Miko?"
