The true pay for this grey job was the new friends Daidai made along the way. This simple act of simple-minded acceptance may have gotten her a lot of protectors.
Daidai is literally the power of stupid innocence triumphing over everything. Like she's just so genuinely innocent, nothing wants to hurt her and ruin her day.
Can you believe it? When she was first introduced, I thought she was so dumb, and even commented something like "Daidai is gonna diedie".
Now? I love her.
Daidai, my beloved
Also, I had a feeling last time that most of the people at that marketplace were not human. Glad to see I was right, but also that it's not a bad thing that they aren't.
