I like her non-answer about taking a day off instead. Never change, Japan.

cute

What kind of sheltered life has the maid live so far to not know about allergies? Especially such a common one as hayfever.

 

[gabie]

That is very very wholesome thank you for translating !

 

[VonLoewe]

Thanks for the translation! I look forward to more of this heart-warming series!

Chinese Tea to cure the Coronavirus

@blablablub I dont think its the hay fever shes confused about but the way the japanese deal with it. In the Uk we just tend to ignore hay fever, we take tablets or sprays and thats about it. The japanese wearing face masks would seem odd almost scary to someone unaware of their methods of dealing with it.

Though how long has our MC been in England for to not know about the japanese using face masks for hay fever but also not knowing how tea bags work? She seems completely lost in japan despite looking japanese with a full Japanese name so i assumed shes either a half whos lived outside of japan most her life or just plain japanese whos lived outside of japan. But to not know something as British as tea bags?

I am now looking up how to properly brew tea like this.

I like that They didn't forget about Her being a Maid.

 

[henman]

Yep, this moment with tea bag, it's way to strange even for her.
Also, gas mask suits her

 

[Jelly_Storm]

Alright love, you definitely can not claim to come from Britain if you muck up making a brew that much!

 

[leusee]

okay wth she is from the UK right??? The tea bag is like quintessentially british

 

[Terithian]

@leusee Maybe it's supposed to be something like that she served a well off household that only ever used loose leaf tea, and has thus never seen a tea bag somehow?

 

[leusee]

@Terithian I guess she could be used to tea tins but still

@leusee

I always thought of the teabag as yet another American destruction and repurposing of ancient cultures*

And it turns out the patent holders were from Milwaukee
