Makomo's Judgment

Some believed in the existence of gods, some did not, some accepted it easily, like the Flame Hashira, while others were more rational, like the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa.

After the entire meeting room fell silent once more, the Wind Hashira, Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had not spoken until now, looked toward Oyakata-sama.

Sanemi Shinazugawa frowned slightly.

"It looks rather ordinary."
