[Aoitenshi]

I guess he doesn't hate the idea of working under his sister, but he hates it because it's going on like he's just doing chores for her.

 

[thobong]

Mmmm, have to say, while I did understand his feeling, I would also look at it on the other side as well.
As a shop manager, she has good communication skill and certainly knows how to deal with others. Proof is she is being polite and very caring with customer and dealers. BUT that's because they are her customer, not her lit' brother, someone she knows she can trust, someone she knows she can shows her bad sides. And she has great respects for him too.
At least they are working together again, so all good.
Before I forget again, thank for the new chapter.

 

[Equilibrium]

She treated him like a tool, it's natural to get upset.

 

[Kisato]

@Equilibrium It's more that she didn't treat him as an adult. They're family and she was cavalier in the way she acted and didn't have any of the dressings of formality and poise. What the little brother wanted was equal standing to her other coworkers.

 

[Pascal95]

Thanks.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@thobong Yeah, that's called taking people for granted. It's the way families start hating each other and marriages break up. Sure, with family you can let your hair down, but if you just don't bother to appreciate anything they do the way you would for anyone else, it's a pretty short slope from "because they're closer to you" to just using them. And then there's the condescension @Kisato points out.

 

[Kisato]

@Purplelibraryguy Well, she did also pay him for his services, so I don't think she was trying to use him.

 

[ElBichoRaro]

@Purplelibraryguy: You're so not wrong about that

 

[jhadred]

@Purplelibraryguy @Kisato
Agreed, it's pretty close to being unappreciative and only treating him like a little brother (child) rather than as an equal adult, which is brought up by Keito several times.

As for the path of use / being used, it was mentioned in his rant, that putting the products out on display all of a sudden became his job and that he was made to help find her account book without appreciation. Something like that isn't part of a normal employee/contractor situation.

Also, it's hard to determine the proper word. I'd personally use Vendor, rather than client. She's also the one who seeked him out to work. And even in that, she assumes that he'll do it rather than asking.

 

[ixsaz]

The true question on ths chapter is , What is the bee/ wasp, his roomate, his lover or his best friend?

XD

 

[moel]

This chapter full of fluffs i could die ?

 

[thobong]

@Purplelibraryguy Aye, I agree with you, and glad that the lit' bro was able to say all of that outloud.

 

[riflow]

Even with resolving this situation it feels like she took advantage of their relationship to get back in his good graces. Kinda irksome....

 

[solchimes]

I love the badgers.

 

[DjAlexDubCheck]

@ixsaz
I'd reckon it's a good friend

 

[AceTheBase]

They really are acting like siblings lmao
