Does everyone like kids or what?

I enjoyed this even tho it's really simple but one thing that bugged me is that almost everyone is attracted to Chika, yes he's actually a 40yo man but he's trapped in a 16yo body and these 2 almost 40yo men want him, yes in that world 15yo is the age they reach adulthood but still, like irl a 40yo man wanting a 19yo is still weird even tho he's *technically* an adult, and also let's not forget that they admitted to thinking he was 10yo

Honestly that detail just makes Chika's story even more sad bc when he was a slave the guys that were doing that to him didn't know that he was 16yo but instead 10yo so they thought they were doing that to a kid and still continued :( also in the extra chapter where we see part of the novel the masters didn't like when he spoke like a 40yo man and made him act/speak more like a kid, that's so disgusting and made my stomach turn

Continuing talking about how people think he's 10yo, we see Chika being hit on by multiple people throughout the story and those people don't know his age so they probably assume he's 10yo AND STILL HIT ON HIM, LIKE WTF???
