At night in the Edo Era, as long as you walked down streets where the nightingales gathered, you would see a multitude of extravagantly dressed nightingales standing by the roadside, making seductive gestures towards every passing man. The bolder ones would directly grab hold of the men and name the price for a night's pleasure with them.
The government always adopted a see-no-evil, hear-no-evil stance towards these nightingales.
Currently, the street that Aoto and his group were patrolling was full of such nightingales.
Seeing that Aoto and his group were dressed like officials, the nightingales tactfully stepped aside without approaching to disturb them.
But there were a few, perhaps bold or looking for some fun, or maybe not recognizing the official attire—ignorance is fearless—that proactively approached Aoto and his group, teasing them.
