kozvme | Event Story – Castle of scary family! ch.9

Will: Hmm, it's not going very well...

Oscar: What do you want to do? I'll help if you want to give it another try.

Will: Can I keep you company a bit more? I might be able to get a good grasp of it if we're together.

Oscar: I don't mind. Want to stop by the usual pet shop, then?

Will: Sure. Let's buy Alexander-kun a gift.
Hm?

Oscar: What's wrong?

Will: It's nothing. My mom sent me a message.
Ah, she's asking me if I can go help since the store has received a lot of urgent orders...

Oscar: You should hurry then.

Will: But-

Oscar: Don't mind me. Take good care of your family.

Will: Alright. Thank you.

Oscar: Ah, wait.

Will: ?

Oscar: Would it be a problem if I helped?

Will: Huh...? It wouldn't be appropriate to ask you to help with a family matter...

Oscar: Please.

Will: ......
Alright. Then, could I bother you?

Oscar: Yeah, thank you.

Oscar: I've refilled the fertilizer. What else should I do?

Will: We just need to check the air conditioning and we can call it a day.
I'm so sorry, I even made you help me prepare for tomorrow...

Oscar: But that's what I asked. Don't worry.
I should be the one apologizing. Your family even had to put up with me during dinner.

Will: Please don't! It was my way of showing my gratitude, but did I cause extra trouble for you...?

Oscar: No, it was an enjoyable dinner. And I got to see how you are with your family, too.
Even a reliable person like you is still a child in the eyes of his parents.

Will: Ahaha... I'm a little embarrassed...

Oscar: And I also understood why you're so kind.

Will: Huh...?

Oscar: It seems like you grew up in a warm family.

Will: I think so too, although because I was sick in the past they worry a bit too much.

Oscar: I believe you. They asked me to take care of you countless times.
But this kind and worrywarth nature is the same I perceive in you, Will.
So this is a family...

Will: Eh...?

Oscar: Actually, I was having trouble with my role too.
I don't know how to portray 'a family'...

Will: Ah...

Oscar: I'm an orphan after all. I have had no parents nor a place to return to since I can remember.
When I met Brad-sama, the Beams family welcomed me warmly and regarded me as family.
But I'm a servant. It would be presumptuous of me to think of them as family.

Will: That's...

Oscar: Maybe I just can't imagine myself in a family.

Will: ......

Oscar: That was fine until now, but... I can’t keep going like this for the sake of those orphans as well.
That's why I'm happy I spent the day with your family, Will.

Will: Oscar-san.

Oscar: What is it?

Will: What do you say if we throw a Halloween party the next day we are off? With the rest of the team, too.

Oscar: ? What's gotten into you now?

Will: I think it would be fun to have a party where we all decorate and cook together, and wear costumes.
So what do you say about the Halloween party?

Oscar: That sounds fun, but...

Will: I'll let Brad-san and Akira know myself. Please look forward to it. ♪

Oscar: O- Okay...
