In the end, Duanmu Huai still went down this unreturnable path as the system desired...

MMP, whatever, let's just go.

After this, Duanmu Huai drove to Kamurochō, and along the way, he contacted the police to investigate the situation.

The Japanese yakuza is a rather twisted culture, also rooted in that twisted spirit of exploiting loopholes in Japan.

Just like Japanese law.

Japanese law explicitly prohibits impure O transactions, but can this stump the resourceful Japanese people?

Of course not.

So, the question arises, what is an impure O transaction?

What? You mean me inserting my Big Treasure Sword into your sheath counts as impure O transaction?

Oh, I get it. What if I open a club, let customers admire girls performing O, it wouldn't count as impure O transaction. After all, you can't exactly say that using the toilet counts as O behavior.

And those famous so-called "body platter" "seaweed wine" are the products under such laws. Anyone familiar with this stuff knows it's definitely not something normal.

But there's no choice; it's illegal. By comparison, if I dress up girls with sushi or pour wine over them, as long as they're in swimwear, it's not illegal.

There's an online joke back from before Duanmu Huai crossed over, saying "This is actually my girlfriend; we went out overnight, but she suddenly wanted a PS5, so I gave her three thousand bucks afterward, honestly, so Officer, can I go now?"

Of course, online it's a joke, but in reality, that's not the case. In fact, that's how the famous Japanese "water vendor" came to be. Japanese police do catch minors involved in impure O transactions, but their explanation is like this — This young girl was selling water here, I felt sorry for her, so I bought a bottle of her mineral water, and then as we talked, we felt connected, couldn't help ourselves, and happened to have a hotel nearby, so we went in for a chat.

So Officer, I gave her those fifty thousand dollars for her bottle of water, totally unrelated to impure O transactions! We were deeply moved, couldn't help ourselves, can your law control our conversations?

What? You say what kind of water costs fifty thousand? I want to give it to you, so what?

Even if it's tap water! That's just love!

And in the Japanese anime industry, this happens too.

Japan also issued regulations about "child protection," prohibiting child characters with X implications in anime.

That's simple, Sir, this may look like an elementary student, but actually, she's lived for a thousand years.

So after this, Japanese anime started featuring high schoolers looking as mature as adults, while teachers at the podium were more delicate and even seemed younger than students. Some even directly had characters depicted as loli teachers who smoke, drink, and race at age thirty.

The implication is clear — After all, they're teachers, definitely adults, so it's totally fine!

And the Japanese yakuza is the same.

The so-called legalization of Japanese yakuza doesn't mean I can approach the city hall, say I want to register an XX group for yakuza purposes, and they nod and approve.

No sane government would come up with such ridiculous nonsense.

So Japanese yakuza are registered in the name of companies.

For example, Hawk Moon Group, registered with the government as Yingyue Club, primarily in the business of information consulting services.

Judging from the paperwork, it's completely a pure and innocent clean company, seemingly having nothing to do with yakuza.

But what's the reality, everyone knows, and the category of information consulting is inherently vague. How much is a piece of information worth? Who knows? So whatever they charge counts as reasonable and legal. Plus, in Japan, yakuza isn't legal, but loansharking is, so naturally, debt collection is legal too.

This has created a bizarre and twisted scenario of Japanese yakuza surviving and flourishing in the crevices of law and regulations. Unlike elsewhere, when you mention yakuza, you think of mafia and the likes, all ferocious, involved in murder, arson, drug and arms trafficking, everything evil. Some places even turn into warlords, daring to stand against the local government.

Whereas Japanese yakuza has a weird sense of harmony; they maintain a special relationship with the police, if yakuza don't escalate things, then police won't intervene. Even if yakuza kill someone, as long as they can hand someone over, regardless if it's the real perpetrator, police just need an answer, and won't pursue further.

It's not simply that the Japanese police are weak, but Japanese yakuza indeed have considerable power. Basically, in Japan, entertainment industry, gambling industry, and loansharking are their territories. In fact, almost all Japanese entertainment agencies have yakuza backgrounds. Don't be fooled by those idol stars and celebrity kings who seem powerful and influential, as if they could handle anything, but if the agency wants to destroy them, then they are nothing at all.

The most typical example is Kimura, what was his status in Japan back then? As popular as the sun, deserving to be called the national male God, driving almost every woman in Japan crazy, completely a king-level existence. Yet because he announced on a show directly his wedding news despite the agency's objections, he was then banned by the agency.
