:/ Weird turnabout for Mamari just cos Carol doesn't judge her for being an orphan...legit she was just shitting on Carol calling them equal in education (if not claiming Carol was actually less skilled than herself) and now she's begging Carol for help??? What?
Old man was obv sus from the beginning but Mamari just did a 180...she was acting all smug like "lolol I tampered with your tea somehow and my master scolded you, also you are lesser than me because you can't tell me anything I don't already know" and now she's just "uwu im sad orphan my master does not help orphans, wow i get bath first?? ur so nice,, can u help me save my orphanage??"
Carol is far too nice, because at this point I would've taken the opportunity to just tell her to go herself if she thinks she's so superior, why does Carol have to go to the trouble just cos Mamari is worried about losing her apprenticeship (?) to the old man.
