Konoe Maki brought her younger sister, Konoe Marin, to the Yoshiwara Flower District.
This was the young policewoman's first time visiting the Flower Street. She looked around curiously, but when she saw the courtesans in rags in the surrounding shops, she immediately frowned with some disdain.
"How can they act so shamelessly in broad daylight?"
Righteous Konoe Marin said this.
"Don't they have any sense of self-respect or self-love?"
But the director of the Guard Bureau, walking ahead, shook his head helplessly.
"Self-respect and self-love? Marin, you are born into the Konoe Family, so you have the privilege to speak about these things, but not everyone is as lucky as you to be born with a good background. Self-respect and self-love are luxuries not just in Japan, but for the majority around the world."
"Do you think these courtesans willingly entertain people with their beauty?"
