S1 E19: Qualities Of Courage

-Seeing as the perv shut the door immediately, I was finally able to dress properly. Always been a fan of tuxedos.-

Jiro: Ok! Let's get this day rolling off!

Rem: You look very---handsome in that outfit we made for you, Jiro.

Jiro: Umm... <scratches hair> Thanks..

Ram: But, if I must say. Your hair needs some trimming. If you want, my sister can cut it for you...

Jiro: Hmm, probably later. I'm just pumped up about working.

Ram: I agree, well...in that case follow me. I will prepare you with the basics. 

-Following Ram, the blue hair girl left to do her duties around the mansion.-

Ram: We will first begin by cleaning, trimming, then last of all cooking.

Jiro: Splendid. Let's get started!

LATER (A COUPLE HOURS AFTER WORKING HARD)

After, I was finished scrubbing the bathroom floors, trimming the bushes, and cooking the meals for tonights dinner...the maids began to trust me more, especially since they found out something about me....from my past...

Ram: I must say, Sister. Jiro is doing a fine job... <smiling>

Rem: I agree...you could see he was built to work...

Jiro: Thank you ladies... <chuckles>

-Scratching the back of my head, I was finishing dicing and skinning off the potatoes-

Ram: It's amazing you didn't get cut on the first try, how did you learn---

Jiro: Learn to what?

Ram: To cook and cut...men like you are very rare to come by. Only idiots like Subaru would be able to cut themselves after their first try.

Jiro: I guess so...

Ram: So, how did you learn to do this? Did you serve a "master"? or was it your parents---

-Curious, I didn't want to respond...since she brought along the fact of my "so-called parents" whom never loved me-

Jiro: That's a--- <crying out from horrible memories>

Ram: Oh my...I'm sorry...did I say something wrong?

Jiro: It's nothing... <places down the knife> May I be excused?!

Ram: Yes...don't worry about it. 

-Walking off to the exit, I needed a bath...badly...I stink-

Ram: Jiro?

Jiro: Hmm...

Ram: I apologize for what I said earlier... <bowing>

Jiro: I'm okay! Honestly, nothing to concern yourself with

Ram: You don't sound alright...please...tell me...what's bothering you?

Jiro: If I tell you, will you promise to keep it between us?

-Nodding in agreement, I decided to say it-

Jiro: When you told me about whom taught me how to cook, clean, etc. It was my "parents"

Ram: They must've been good---

Jiro: No...I HATE THEM! 

Ram: (Surprised) Why?

Jiro: Because, they never loved me...a fatherless child with nothing to live up to. My own mother thought I was a failure and spoke how her baby boy couldn't get anywhere in life so she chose to give me up...fortunately she died...allowing me to be free...In my youth, as a "child" wasn't easy. My mother would force me to work as her personal slave while she would drink herself to death. Abusing me whenever the opportunity arrives...<crying> don't you see...I've been alone since the beginning. I feel as no one could understand me or truly love me...for just being...well...ME.
