First Time Reader

Okay, so I just read through 1 to 21 just now.... These nicknames...

Does anyone know if in the raws Chef actually calls Aisha "rat chestnut"? I know the first few chapters had curse words scratched out (from when cuzzo called her bitch and whatnot). I just think "rat chestnut" is such a strange nickname. Is it a cultural thing, or is he basically calling her rat turd? Like chestnut is a euphemism for rat droppings?
(considering she was an unwelcome surprise in his kitchen lol, like finding rat turds)

Also, what is up with "Alyosha"???? Like how did she come up with THAT as his nickname? I was like "...........the FUCK?" when I read that. Again, if anyone knows the raws, is there a literal translation that makes more sense? Or did she just pull the name "Alyosha" outta her ass and just be like, yep that's what I'll call you. LOL but the maids and knights didn't even bat an eye. I figured it was his middle name or SOMETHING related to him that makes sense. But when Gramps was like "huh??", I'm back to wondering wtf is an Alyosha?

    There's no deep meaning just a random name like how older people would call u peanut or pumpkin

    Bruh tbh I was thinking the same.. like seriously? "Alyosha"? ... It doesn't even match his real name Alexie.. and that rat chestnut is kinda humiliating though.. Next thing he helps her in preparing those dishes and she just tells him to add this and that.. ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍ and then she tells others "I prepared it" bruh that's enough (︶︿︶)=凸

    Rat chestnuts a type of rodent, he probably calls her that cos of how she was like a thief in the kitchen at first.

    The name Alyosha is a boy's name meaning "defender". Russian diminutive of Alexei, borne by the protagonist in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov.
