Miwa Yanagi
"Hiroko"
You just don’t understand, do you?
This trip is not a vacation, it’s for work, you know.
All of the slaves of the world are my clients, right?
The reason that you’ve been pampered so much is because you are the granddaughter of the last “Dominatrix of Legends”.
You are still a greenhorn at this, you know. Make very sure you understand that, ok?
When I was about our age, private sexual services were still illegal.
We didn’t have any form of protection either.
The disease that you were recently cured of from a single shot used to be fatal, and so many people died from it, you know.
In order to continue to be a professional Dominatrix, I had to fight against all forms of discrimination and unfair laws for an incredibly long time ...
Hey, are you listening to me?!?
And now, when I see the blindness of today’s youth who lay down upon the foundation that I built so long ago.
I know that I will never be able to retire.
