...

so... are we gonna ignore the fact that they're starving her? a couple pieces of chocolate are honestly inconsequential in the face of all the neglect she's faced, ngl i think you're focusing on something irrelevant

She might have the memories of an adult, but she still has the physical body and brain of a child. Not to mention everyone treats her that way I’m sure all that has an effect. Also if I’m starving I’m going to steal the cunts food who’s stealing all the food money meant for the brother

I get that part but why show the reincarnation part when it doesn’t help/have meaning at all

I think they showed cuz that’s how she tries to avoid her death. Or whatever happens to her in the future.

In my mind she is an adult, so I don’t sympathize with her screamingly try to take the chocolate after knowing it belongs to the maid.

So you’re tell me that if you was her you would ask the maid for food? And when she say no you’re just gonna walk away and starve?

Let’s get something straight here. Jennie is a maid. The FL status is above hers even if she isn’t biologically related to the ML she is still treated as his sister. Jennie have no right to discipline her. She a maid not her parent. Jennie is a dick and she starve both the ML and the FL.

Also by your logic Jennie should get disciplined too. She stole money that was for the ML to buy whatever she wanted but we’re just gonna excuse that right?

Just because the FL is mentally an adult doesn’t mean anything she is still physically a child even her mind and emotions are being affected because of her age. All she is thinking about is what to eat not if she should ask for food when she is starving.

I understand that she is starving, so I would not blame her for having to forcefully take the chocolate as a last resort. But that was not the case. She tried to take it by force first and only asked after not succeeding.

And even if she is affected by her child body, it does not excuse wrong behavior. That is why children are corrected when making mistakes. Besides, she was able to restrain herself, when her brother offered her food.

I am not excusing the maid. I have not even mentioned her until now. And that is only because the other comments have already mentioned everything that needs to be mentioned.

The heck do you mean that not the case? The child took the chocolates ate some and then when the maid caught her she asked and was denied so she was trying to take some more because she is still hungry. At the end of the day she is still a child. Yes she should be taught right from wrong even if she is mentally an adult and already know what right and what wrong. The maid literally pinched her hard until she have a bruise and you’re still telling me that it’s the child fault for not listening?

The child is like what 2 or 3? The maid is abusing the child. The maid should have told her that what she did was wrong and then feed her when she learn her lesson and asked for some food. Not deny her from eating. It clear the child met no harm she just wanted food.

Meant*

I wrote that taking something by force should be the last resort and that was not the case, since the FL tried to take the chocolate by force twice before actually asking the maid to give her some.

I only wrote that children are corrected when making mistakes to point out that being a child does not excuse wrong behavior. I was not trying to indicate that what the maid did was acceptable.

I am also not thinking that the FL meant any harm. I understand that she is starving and I do think she is really pitiful. I am only pointing out that it was wrong of her to not ask first and take it by force afterwards as a last resort.

And just to make it clear. I do not approve of what the maid did, just because I disapprove of what the FL did. Both should have behaved differently. Of course the maid is more wrong for stealing and abusing.

Yet you just said “in my mind she an adult so i dont sympathize with her” but now all of a sudden you pity her? Mkay.

First off there was no one in the kitchen, the butler is asleep and he would definitely ignore her or hit her if she tried to wake him. So there wasn’t anyone she could have asked. Secondly the maid came into the kitchen after she was already eating the chocolate. If we’re being technical the child should be asking the ML for the chocolate since it’s basically his chocolate because the maid stole money that was meant for him. Thirdly she did ask but the maid refused her along with put her hands on a child that isn’t hers. If we’re being really technical the child doesn’t even have to ask the maid for anything since the child is the boss of the maid she can have whatever she wants because she is the boss of the maid.

I sympathize with her being neglected and starved, but not with her screaming while forcefully taking something that does not belong to her.

1) She could ask after the maid came and said that the chocolate belonged to her.

2) So what if she was already eating it? Does that justify her forcefully keeping it?

3) She asked after not succeeding in taking it forcefully. I would not mind her taking the chocolate as a last resort after being told no. And being the boss if someone does not mean that you can just take whatever they own.

The maid doesn’t own it though she basically stole it because she used money that not hers to buy it so your 3rd point is invalid.

If someone is hungry they aren’t just gonna ask if it belongs to someone don’t act like you’re so perfect and you never took someone else food.

The chocolates were in the kitchen it’s basically free to touch since it not like there a note saying it belongs to someone and to not touch it. She didn’t know it belongs to the maid does that excuse her actions? No. And yes she deserves to be told off because of it. But to put your hand on someone else child enough for a bruise to form is going to far. She could have just told the child to not touch it again and that it don’t belong to her along with put the chocolates in a place where she can’t reach. You need to remember that she is still a child even if she have the mind of an adult. A child is gonna try to forcibly take something they like even if it doesn’t belong to them. The maid and butler should have been teaching her manners and other social stuff when she learned how to talk. Even if she is mentally an adult and already knows about manners her childlike body will affect her mindset.

I haven’t read the rest of the comments so if this gets covered I apologize, but she did exactly what you just said she should do. Remember she thought they were her butlers who she had asked for food from first. Also, in the past she has attempted to get help from Jennie and been turned away. If a parent or guardian, which are the maid/butler in this case, are not feeding the child I would not blame the child for trying to steal food. Remember she’s experienced years of neglect at this point. I think the situation matters. Like usually you would tell a child not to lie, but if an adult does something bad to them and makes them promise not to tell. I think it is okay for them to break their promise and tell someone. Also, I think you have to cut some slack to kids who’ve experienced severe abuse or neglect

To add on since I saw bring this up later let’s say she isn’t a child, but was an injured adult or to old to get around on their own and are admitted into an assisted living facility. If they’ve asked for food and are not receiving it I’m not going to blame them for raiding the employee fridge. If my Grandma did the same thing and I asked her why and she told me it’s because the people BEING PAID to care for her won’t give her food and have neglected her for years at no point in the following conversation am I going to ask her “Well did you ask the neglectful employees who refuse to feed if you could have their lunch before you tried to steal it?” On the other hand if they had been feeding her and giving her food when she asked then I would agree with you

Natsu. She could also have used her paycheck to buy the chocolate and used the stolen money on some other stuff.

I am only disapprove of her forcefully keeping the chocolate after the maid wanted it back. Not anything before or after that.

Even if she is affected by her child body, she is able to restrain herself as when she refused her brother, when he offered her food.

I only disapprove of her forcefully keeping the chocolate after the maid wanted it back. I don’t think there is anything wrong with eating when hungry, but if you are caught, then forcefully taking it should be used as a last resort after being rejected.

Whelp, I think we are just going to have to respectfully disagree on this. ╮(￣▽￣)╭
No hard feelings and hope we can both enjoy the rest of the story ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

Sure! No hard feelings. People are allowed to have their own opinions and I don’t mind discussing different opinions as long as we keep it civil.

i had to close my eyes by the amount of stupidity i read here. cant believe youre scolding someone, child or otherwise, bc they stole food OUT OF STARVATION from someone whos been neglecting children and embezzling their money. whew. baffled.
