Here's the Translator's Notes:
Sonchou - Village Chief
Kirei - I've left this as kirei because of the double entendre. Kirei can mean clean or beautiful. She says that down there is not kirei i.e. not clean. He tells her that it is kirei its clean or beautiful, and in his next sentence he says her Aristotles Lantern is beautiful, again kirei.
Aristotle's Lantern: On the oral surface of the sea urchin is a centrally located mouth made up of five united calcium carbonate teeth or jaws, with a fleshy tongue-like structure within. The entire chewing organ is known as Aristotle's lantern. The name comes from Aristotle's accurate description in his History of Animals:
...the urchin has what we may call its head and mouth down below, and a place for the issue of the residuum up above. The urchin has, also, five hollow teeth inside, and in the middle of these teeth a fleshy substance serving the office of a tongue. Next to this comes the esophagus, and then the stomach, divided into five parts, and filled with excretion, all the five parts uniting at the anal vent, where the shell is perforated for an outlet... In reality the mouth-apparatus of the urchin is continuous from one end to the other, but to outward appearance it is not so, but looks like a horn lantern with the panes of horn left out.
Milt & Roe: Milt is the seminal fluid of fish, mollusks, and certain other water-dwelling animals that reproduce by spraying this fluid onto roe (fish eggs).
