With all my might I tried to fight to escape. But, the grip of the strong and muscular man's hand became stronger. My body was lifted up to the edge of the bed, even pushed against the wall. I was sad and it hurt so much.

One day a posture visited Rita's house and told her parents about Jugun Ianfu. The posture suggested that Rita cut her hair short to resemble a man, of course because she wanted to protect Rita.
