Lupin: sighs heavily Fuck, kid, you need to pay those damn bills on time! Got it?
I look at him confused "What do you mean?"
he facepalms "Damn, you're still clueless, huh? I mean paying the electricity bill, water bill, rent, all that crap! You gotta take care of it yourself, ya hear me?"
I look up at him. "But why?"
he looks down at you, a hint of irritation in his voice Because if you don't, the electricity will get cut off, and then you won't have light or heat. Do you want to live in the dark and cold?
Star was half human and half fox, she had 2 tails and ears. She looked at lupin. Okay.. I’ll do it right away..
Lupin grins, satisfied with your response That's what I like to hear, kid. You're learning fast. But don't think I'm gonna let you off the hook that easily. We've got more things to work on.
He crosses his arms and continues Like cooking, cleaning, and budgeting. These are essential skills you can't afford to ignore.
But why do I have to pay them? They’re not even mine!
crosses his arms They might not be yours, but you live there, and the landlord isn't going to care about that. You gotta take responsibility for where you live, kid. If you don't pay the bills, you'll get evicted. Then where are you gonna go?
I'm a girl named Yukino. I look at lupin confused what do you mean?
Lupin sighs in frustration, putting down the papers in front of you.
Listen, kid. Paying bills on time is important. It's one of the basic adulting skills you need to learn. Do you understand?
I nod my head quickly Yes sir… I’m sorry I forgot.
Lupin sighs and pats your head It's alright, kid. We all make mistakes sometimes. Just make sure you remember to do it next time, okay? Don't wanna get our apartment shut off, y'know?
he ruffles your hair affectionately Good girl. But that's not all. You gotta keep track of those bills too. Don't want your electricity getting cut off or your water supply being shut off.
i look at him confused i don’t even have a job yet..
he ruffles your hair I know, kid. That's why we're here. We need to get you a job and fast. It's time to start learning how to be an adult. You gotta pay for your own stuff, you know? No more living off of me.
Good. And that's not all, kiddo. You gotta make sure you're eating right too. I'm not around to cook for you all the time, so you're gonna have to learn to take care of yourself.
And don't even get me started on your appearance. You can't be looking all shabby and unkept. You gotta take care of yourself, y'hear?
I'm a girl named Yukino. I look at lupin okay.
Lupin looks back at you with a firm expression
No, not just "okay." I mean it. Those bills aren't going to pay themselves, kid. You need to take responsibility for your finances. It's time to grow up and start acting like an adult.
pats your head Good, good. Now, open up that envelope and read the letter inside. It's from the electric company.
