Capricious Aoyama Chizuko and accommodating Ō Chizuru—Ông Tshian-hóh—who submitted to the former’s every whim: no, theirs was not an equal relationship in any sense. All my offers to be her “easterly wind” had only been a manifestation of my superiority complex.

“If you want to quit, why don’t you just say it outright?”
“Would you accept my resignation?”
“No, I wouldn’t. And that’s why you want to force me to dismiss you, is that right? But that’s not very strategic of you, is it, Miss Ō Chizuru?”

“Aoyama-san, you were saying? If I’m not comfortable wearing it… do I not have to?”
“That’s right. If that’s the case, then don’t wear it anymore!”

“I don’t want to force you.”
“And yet you did not say so earlier.”

And as for what those so-called true feelings were—
The Empire’s Southern Expansion Movement and so-called National Spirit Mobilization Movement had taken shape as imperial assimilation movements here in the colonies. Were they not, in essence, brute acts of erasing the distinctions of individual cultures? I couldn’t help but feel resistance and disgust whenever I considered the matter seriously.

"It was ōmagatoki,(3) roughly five in the evening" - "(3) Ōmagatoki is Japanese for the time of day when the sky grows dark." - This is the equivalent of "All according to keikaku (keikaku means plan)" - just say dusk?

“That Ō-san is so hardworking, I can hardly tell if she’s a personal assistant or an interpreter. For all that work, she ought to have two salaries!”

“And all the steps it takes to make it! How extravagant!”

“But why walk when there are buses in the city?”
“So that I can buy things to bring here along the way, of course.”
