The Matter of the Only Cabbage in Our Family Almost Being Taken Away
Silva Zoldyck, Survivor of the Meteor City Disaster: ...I should kill that person online who answered, "A scare will cure it." I should scatter their ashes.
Zeno: Based on your description, I think this is entirely a problem you created yourself.
Silva: !
Silva: How about giving Moirls a higher mission commission from now on?
Zeno: No, that's against regulations.
Silva: Any other suggestions?
Zeno: Hmm? Solve your own problems yourself.
Silva: I've already solved it. I didn't take Moirls' commission for this mission.
Zeno: No wonder Illumi is like that...
Silva: Like what?
Zeno: Nothing. Didn't you say you only listen to half of what I say? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Silva: That's not that kind of half... Dad?
Zeno, who suddenly left: Let me see if there's a suitable mission next time... Silva, seriously, you're not suited for jokes, you have no sense of humor at all.
Silva: The fact that she didn't take it as a joke, I'm clear on that. That child is probably the most difficult mission of my life, and I will complete it perfectly.
Zeno: That's not the point!
Silva (lost in thought): ...
Zeno: Speaking of which, Silva, what do you consider "perfect"?
Silva: ...
Silva: ...
Silva: Actually, it's just like that, the same as all Zoldycks.
Zeno: Hmm.
Silva: But what I hope for most right now is that she hasn't grown up, that she's still a child.
Zeno: ...What kind of dangerous statement is that.
Silva: When she said, "I've grown up"... I realized I didn't have time to notice. You should be able to understand that feeling, Dad, right?
Zeno: No.
Silva: ...
Zeno: I'd be very happy to have another capable helper for work. Silva, as parents, the most important thing is to learn to let go.
Silva: That's true. By the way, don't movies often have those scenes? Like saying, "When I grow up, I'll marry Dad," or something. Is it not every daughter who says that?
Zeno: I take back what I said earlier. This is the dangerous statement.
Silva: I've thought about how to respond to those kinds of questions, but most of the things I'm prepared for don't actually come up. There are too many unpredictable situations; it's indeed quite difficult to be a parent.
Zeno: Yes, at least Moirls still knows to treat Dad to dessert.
Silva: I don't think I've caused you any trouble, Dad?
Zeno: How do you plan to respond to those kinds of questions, Silva?
Silva: I will be loyal to my marriage, and, legally, bigamy is prohibited.
Zeno: ...Alright. Don't worry, Moirls won't say that to you. I can bet on it.
Silva: No problem, how much are we betting?
Zeno raised an index finger.
Silva: 1 jen?
Zeno: Are you looking down on me, or looking down on yourself?
Silva: 1 billion jen, want to bet?
Zeno: Silva, I have a whole new understanding of you today. 10 billion jen.
Silva: There's no need to be so serious, Dad? 20 billion jen, bet or not?
Zeno: (·=·╬) For the sake of our father-son relationship, up to 30 billion, take it or leave it.
Silva: ...Alright. For the sake of our father-son relationship, 30 billion.
Afterward, the two had a very friendly and cordial spar in the training ground to exchange opinions on issues of mutual concern, and finally reached a consensus.
300 billion jen, take it or leave it.
