Despite the assumptions gathered from rumors and information from the foreigners - Umiko could enter a Holy temple freely. No Holy man tried to shoo her away. She looked at the praying Holy men. No-one paid attention to her. When Umiko tried to bother a Holy Minister - he asked her with an annoyed voice where is Umiko's man. It took some self-restrain for Umiko to not make that bold Holy man "her" man - she could haul him away like a sack of flour quite easily. All in all this expedition is weird, disappointing, and profitless.
