Fiiiine. Sorry about your empty fridge. My friend's a good cook so we had a good time with the stuff in your fridge. She says you need better ingredients though.
Can I still keep the job? It's fun. I'll promise not to raid your kitchen next time.
[ Okay that's not what she means and you know it. ]
No I mean, of course, he's a good kid, it's just that some of the kids around his age are pretty loud and don't really listen, so it's such a pleasant surprise.
Sorry if I came off as rude, I didn't mean to... [ Please don't fire her. ]
Wha—yes I'm serious, you can't just call people peasants even if they are rowdy...I mean I know I called them rowdy so I'm not one to speak but sometimes there's a reason why they do the things they do, you know, it's not really their fault if they're in unfortunate circumstances...
[ Just look at Chibiusa, she used to be such a brat when she came along and it turned out that she's only trying to save her mother from dying. ]
I mean, Megumi is a good kid because you're a good dad but not everyone has that kind of fortune, you know?
[ Well, to her, you seem like a good dad ok. Single father willing to hire a babysitter for his son and making sure his son is okay is good in her books. ]
Unfortunate circumstances are no excuse not to raise your child right.
[he's doing the best he can (by not doing anything his family has done to 'raise' him, for example.]
Kid has to live in the real world eventually and rowdiness isn't exactly something you grow out of. But fine, maybe calling them peasants was a little bit strong.
[he needs a babysitter more than he needs to be right in an argument.]
[ Well, those are the words of a responsible father, and she can't even fault him for saying it. She knows he's right, despite the execution being harsher than what she's used to. Regardless, she understands that as a parental figure, it's important to raise kids well, and sometimes that worries her because, well, Chibiusa. She's not a mother yet, yet she's already had a taste of what it's like to be someone that a child has to depend on. Maybe if she can be half as responsible as he is (in her mind) then she might make it out okay. ]
You're right, I'm sorry I argued. Being a parent is hard and I shouldn't have judged your method of parenting.
[ She doesn't know what he's been through and so she realizes she doesn't have a right to judge, but she is glad that he's a good dad for Megumi. ]
You've taught me a lot of stuff, and I think I've learned a lot just now, so thank you. I think Megumi will be just fine with you as his father. I'm glad he has you.

My friends all told me that it was a scam of some kind and then decided to come by just to make sure I'm okay and it turns out you actually had a son.
[ Did she do a good job? Questionable. At least the food was good. And there weren't any complaints. Right? ]
no subject
You had a party in my house and emptied out the fridge.
That counts as payment.

We're a two person household, not a Michelin restaurant.
If you remember my kid's name, then yes.
no subject
I know that much, that's why you hired me, right? I'm talking about Megumi.
There, I know your son's name! I'll try to rope my friend to cook nicer meals since I'm hopeless at that, hehe.
no subject
Do not, I repeat, do not bring your horde of friends into my home!
[bunch of teenage girls at the single-dad's home, yeah, that'll look great.]
If you get hungry order something or tell me what you want to eat and I'll leave it in the fridge.
no subject
Fine, fine, I heard you the first time...I won't bring any more of my friends.
[ Although don't blame her if they decided to stalk follow her anyway. ]
I guess I'll just order something...but seriously, Megumi is so well-behaved, it's surprising.[ Unlike her brother. ]
no subject
Surprising how?
He's a good kid.

What kind of peasants have you been babysitting?
[spoken like a true uppity Zen'in asshole. look what you've made him do.]
no subject
Peasants?? What? No! They're just rowdy kids! Who goes around calling people peasants?? What does that mean?
[ Whoops. ]
omg Usagi 😂😂😂😂
Are you serious?
[starting to suspect that she might be a peasant in disguise. sure, he may be trash but he has Standards when it comes to his son.]
welp
