"Of course. According to historical records, these 'Enma' shrines were built precisely to suppress those things." The researcher, who looked like a foreman, sat down on a fallen tree trunk, lit a cigarette, and squinted slightly as he slowly blew out a ring of smoke.

The researcher in yellow sat down flat on the ground and fanned hard, trying to wave away the smoke in front of him. "Kudo, I'm getting sick of this. How long have we been sent out on assignment, just doing this over and over? I joined the Ganryu Research Institute to work as a researcher on topics that actually interest me."
