As a person who read the light novel, I was anticipating this chapter and the comments afterwards… I was not disappointed.
One of the ways being a good parent is knowing when you cannot be a good parent. He knew he couldn’t take care of himself let alone a baby and so he gave Mari to people who would love and care for him. That is being a good father. I do not ascribe to the view that biology is what makes you a parent. I have seen and experienced too much to believe that. I myself do not want to give birth to a child but I do want to adopt one day. Or it’s possible that I’ll meet a partner who already has children and they will be mine. However, when I tell people this I either get looks of astonishment/incredulity, told “it’s crazy that you think that.” or in one case the person just flat out told me it was impossible to love a child that isn’t biological yours and when I insisted that have I seen and experienced loving and caring for children who are not biologically yours I was laughed at. Being a parent is about more than just making a baby.
My boys are back! (≧∀≦) And they are going through it. Oh my poor boys, it’ll be ok. Talk to each other. You both miss each other so much.
I’m in love with their mother. Love the comic. Love these boys. HOWEVER, I am IN LOVE with Madam Sa. Every time we get any time with her I’m just like. ⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ (≧∀≦) ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ (づ￣ ³￣)づ
…. That is all. Anyone still here, and hasn’t read this yet, I highly recommend. (●'◡'●)ﾉ
