What Android is capable of abandoning the mission. He is the owner of that Android... regardless he is baby or adult baby, he is still the master...
That actually raises an interesting question about how androids operate in this world.

They don't seem to have the same rights (or at least aren't treated) as humans, otherwise she wouldn't have been on sale at a secondhand store, but can they go against their owner (in the sense of refusing orders) if it conflicts with their programming? Are owners allowed to force androids to do as they please?

There's also the matter of Koutarou never having given her specific instructions/orders. As soon as she was turned on he already pretended to be a baby and was expecting her functions as a babysitter android would simply automatically do the rest. So she's not really going against anything right now since Koutarou never talked to her about being her owner or anything.

All in all they're kind of in a limbo at the moment. Koutarou keeps Makina in the dark so Makina only has her babysitter programing to rely on, so she does what she knows best, however she keeps finding conflicts with her knowledge of babies (obviously), so she's kind of lost on how to proceed, and Koutarou isn't guiding her.

I wonder if they'll ever explore the relationship between androids and humans in this world.

With this chapter the series started tiring me out mainly because It abandoned the World building and went Full on into the meme

Really ? An Android babysitter who was about to food Poison a baby? If they left her in the store because she was malfuctioning Thats one thing but she literally already raised a baby so she also has self developed knowledge

I like the fact that you found that of all things the most annoying about this manga.

I myself have been already too tired of the 'acting like a baby' gimmick to notice plot holes (despite the last chapter). I'm actually glad an interloper will intrude on the main pair since it will at least get the plot moving.

Idk if the translation doesn't make it come across well but, just to clarify, she does know honey is poisonous to babies. She just didn't know what was in that bottle (might have not been labeled). That's why Koutarou warned her.

I mean she still clearly lacks the basic ability to distinguish a baby from an adult so she's not exactly the brightest bulb, but just want to point out she wasn't trying to poison Koutarou.

If Koutarou hadn't warned her and she couldn't identify the liquid she probably wouldn't have used it (at least I hope so), but we'll never know because Koutarou interjected first.

At least I want to believe she's not incompetent enough to feed an unknown substance to a baby.
