Once again, I have taken the liberty to change the original reference, which was made to the extraordinarily beautiful Royal Consort Yang of the Tang Dynasty in ancient China, to another equally legendarily beautiful queen that English speakers would know more about, that of Helen of Troy.

	Despite Mushi to Medama being written by a Japanese, Royal Consort Yang is known in the history of many far-Eastern countries and ~~would certainly have been known to~~ the ~~ancient~~ Japanese. Her beauty had caused incest and civil war. The Asian proverb that woman is the the source of evil stemmed from her.		Despite Mushi to Medama being written by a Japanese, Royal Consort Yang is known in the history of many far-Eastern countries. In fact, it was said that Yang fled to Japan from China and lived out the rest of her life in Japan, making it somewhat credible that some Japanese may indeed be her descendants. Her beauty had caused incest and civil war. The Asian proverb that woman is the the source of evil stemmed from her.

	Used in this context, it can be considered as an innuendo that Rinne was the key to Sakaki's downfall into sin and purgatory.		Used in this context, it can be considered as an innuendo that Rinne was the key to Sakaki's downfall into sin and purgatory.

	An anonymous benefactor. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy-Long-Legs_(novel)		An anonymous benefactor. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daddy-Long-Legs_(novel). This is ''slightly'' different to the more popular concept of Sugar Daddy, where the benefactor is certainly not anonymous. But then again, Sakaki isn't being anonymous at all, so Sugar Daddy might be a better comparison here.
