Red Light District (RLD)

No one will come: In this neighborhood, salvation is a myth, survival is work. [MITSU'S PHILOSOPHY: Demon Slayers are not saviors, but destroyers. They destroy the only world Mitsu knows without offering anything in return. Freedom for her means starving to death on the side of the road. She would rather serve Daki than be "saved" by Uzui.]

Mitsu finds herself thinking that Daki is the only person (demon) who "protects" her.

Her lime green eyes see right through any attempts by Mitsu to manipulate her.

The sensation of a blade at the throat is a familiar state of awakening in Ogimoto.

The final feeling is the realization that there is no way out of Yoshiwara except death.

In Yoshiwara, no one comes to help if they hear screams.

Mitsu's kimono feels like a leaden armor to her, restricting her movements.

The walls of the Ogimoto house absorb sound, making cries for help inaudible.

The girl from the next room, who saw Gyutaro and lost her mind. She laughs constantly.

Trades rumors about demons in exchange for expensive tobacco.

A strict woman who watches the courtesans' every move and punishes them for any unnecessary words.

A cowardly old man who sells his girls to Daki for gold and personal safety.

A weak amulet that burns the skin of demons, but quickly wears out.

Many girls go crazy and start worshiping Daki as a goddess.

Punishment for girls is to drive needles under their nails for lying to Ducky.

Cages where low-ranking girls sit, putting themselves on display.

The Oiran parade site. Noisy, bathed in the blinding light of street lamps.

The abode of Koitsu (Daki). The ceilings here are higher, and the corridors are always cold.

The richest. Golden screens, varnished floors, hidden rooms in the basements.

To survive, you need to be able to betray your friend, exposing her to the demon's wrath instead of yourself.
