Investigation before Discussion
As socio-economic relations are getting more and more complex and we are also faced with issues around the marriage system, cultured citizens in particular are fretting about the crackdown of the caves. Much investigation has been done to minimize their harm and have them only play their role to the extent that it’s necessary. There are some people who were sent from Canada last year to conduct research on the authorized prostitution system in Japan. This, what we might call an “undesirable necessity,” is not particularly strange to exist and it may not be worth reproaching the port of Vancouver for having one or two quarters. However, what is of concern among the Japanese at the moment is the fact that the recently launched red-light district is close to Japantown and adjacent to the First National School (Japanese School). Of course, its influence is not trivial. In fact, the problem is less serious because no Japanese-run cave exists there. If there were any Japanese involved, that must absolutely not be permitted and we must take a definite step to exercise our excellent ability to terminate the situation immediately due to the caves’ proximity to the National School. However, the problem is a little lighter because only whites and blacks are involved. The only problem is that they are too close to us. If they were located far back on the edge of town, we would not bother paying any attention. If that was the case, we would bring our investigation into the caves in the interior here right away. As I have mentioned earlier, because of their proximity, we decided that it is not unworthy to study them even though there is no single Japanese woman among the prostitutes in the district.
I would not judge whether the presence of the prostitute caves on Alexander Street is acceptable or not. We will advance a different discussion. The discussion does not require special background knowledge about the given phenomenon, but we still completed a series of investigations into the caves on Alexander Street for our reference. However, instead of troubling with an undercover man we used an investigator from a different network and made sure that he strictly stuck with the core duty solemnly and rigidly, without harming a whit of his dignity. This investigator is a respectful member of society but we will not reveal who he is. That will of course be confidential.
At last, from the next episode on, we will briefly take you through the situation of the red-light district just around the corner.
