I moved into summerstock housing tonight and a friendly orange cat immediately greeted my kitties to the neighborhood (he actually climbed into my damn car).
But then when I stepped into my apartment building I found this:
I don’t know if my heart could take working in a pet store, taking care of animals and seeing them go like that… ah, I’m too sentimental. Maybe that’s why I prefer a profession where I can work with animals that have already been dead for millions of years. As a side note, I actually laughed while translating this- I translated it as “gentleman” because that seemed most appropriate in-context, but the word that the clerk actually used for Ojisama is “ikemen,” which refers to a “ladies’ man” or a generally handsome/charming guy. I love that even in-universe, everyone loves Ojisama.
