1. "Your older sister looks very beautiful, doesn't she?"
2. "Young lady, you'll also become a beautiful wife like her in the future,"
3. "You'll get married to a rich, powerful family."
4. My future was already set for me,
5. My mother, as well as my older sisters, all lived their lives in order to be loved as well.
6. "Should I put on more lipstick? Or will he be happy with this amount?"
7. "You're husband will probably have high standards. I heard that he vists the brothel quite frequently."
8. "Ma'am!"
9. "You can't help it with young men like him."
10. "You just have to make sure you do your best for him."
11. "If you warmly embrace him and take care of him, he will eventually come back to you."
12. "The moment you show annoyance, he will just throw you away and everything you have. Everything..."
13. The only way to safely keep living is by being loved.
14. I also had to live that way, although I was born in this household as if I was just an extra
15. "So this is where you all are."
16. "Father!"
17. "These came in as a present for the marriage."
18. "How about you all share and take one each?"
19. "Oh my, a hairpin that has both coral and pearl adornings!"
20. "Unnie, you have plenty of coral hairpins. Can't you give me that one?"
21. "Now then, why don't you choose one as well, youngest daughter."
1. "Well... Since it's customary for the eldest to have their choice first,"
2. "I will take the one that's remaining after mother and unnies choose the ones they want."
3. "Fufu, what beautiful words!"
4. "That was very modest of you, letting your sisters have the first pick."
5. "You could learn from your sister. Acting so greedily!"
6. "You'll become a great maiden indeed."
7. "Though the dowry cost is quite a burden for having a daughter,"
8. "It makes me think that I'm glad to have had one when I see you acting so wonderfully like this."
9. Every word, every action was done just to hear those words.
10. "Then I'll strive to become the greatest maiden."
11. "If I become a great enough maiden to not need a dowry,"
12. "Then I'm sure the burden would be taken off of you, father!"
13. "Hohoho! You should all learn from your youngest sister here!"
14. I still didn't realize it, even at that time.
15. That there is someone who doesn't need to worry about doing any of that.
16. "Are these the hairpins that were given as a present?"
1. "Let me see. Where's mine?"
2. "If-if you hold them recklessly like that..."
3. "Hmm, they look quite good."
4. "Father, I was thinking of taking the one that's made with coral."
5. "What are you saying? These hairpins are made for women."
6. "Come on, it's easy for me to make use of this!"
7. "And look here, the pearl symbolizes wealth, while the coral symbolizes being in a government position."
8. "I'll be celebrating my coming-of-age ceremony soon, so wearing this would be promising, don't you think?"
9. "Hoho! I see!"
10. "All right, you sure have a strong spirit! To say it like that!"
11. A strong spirit...? You said to unnies that they were being greedy,
12. And also said that not saying what you want out loud is being virtuous...
