Calculation of Interests (Cont’d)
The rebutter might say that this does not prove that taking Japanese clients creates harm at all; you are not giving an actual example from the situation where all caves open up their businesses to the Japanese; you cannot make a general conclusion only with an example of one single prostitute who took Japanese clients.
They have a point. However, I still insist. It is a rare phenomenon that one of them took Japanese clients, and according to the caves’ situation and wish it will never happen that those caves as a whole start taking Japanese. In fact, Oiwa ended up making others in the devil society talk behind her back, and there is no single woman who deals with Japanese. In any case, even one prostitute caused lots of trouble. The Japanese situation and surrounding circumstance in the interior offer an adequate demonstration that big trouble will happen all the time here and there if there are more prostitutes who deal with Japanese clients.
Even if I consider the argument that there will be positive outcomes if all the caves change their policy to open up their businesses to Japanese in a peaceful manner without causing trouble, this is out of question, as cave fellows themselves do not wish to carry this out. I have stated the reasons why they do not a long time ago in the series.
If they could actually run their cave businesses easily and without trouble with Japanese clients, they would not have pursued profitmaking as their only purpose of life, used any dirty and sinister means shamelessly, and would have avoided inducing any financial troubles. Thus, there is virtually no room for discussion over the matter of Japanese clients.
By the way, Japanese people do not gain anything from the caves dealing only with whites and Chinese. They only defame us one day after another. We gain no benefit but hundreds of impediments.
Let me move forward and observe economic influences.
