The translators note is exactly what I’ve been saying. He’s not actually stupid like some readers are saying. He just doesn’t understand the native lingo. I thought it was kind of obvious, but I guess not judging by the amount of people that were bashing him in earlier chapters.
@Richman I think it’s there just because two other women(her friends) have showed up, but they haven’t shown interest in him. They just tease him. The tag could be a mistake.
