Keep Strong Translator!

Okay aside from defending the translation.

I actually like the story but knowing they're almost certainly gonna get together has me stressed. Personally as an adult in his later 20s it's an uncomfortable thing to think about. Like okay I understand that the way the author set up the dynamic is that the kid is the more likely the one in control of the situation. I'm gonna guess that nothing will happen until he's fully in college. I would argue this isn't a case of grooming BUT STILL!

I cannot imagine myself in this situation. Like sure if a kid came up to me begging to help them by giving them a place to stay (and they genuinely had no other place to go) I'd help them out. But I don't care how relentless they try to pursue me, I'm making sure they know that it ain't happening ever. Hell when I was 18 and a freshman tried to ask me out multiple times I was firm with them to the very end (kid even tried to surprise kiss me and I had to be like "hey I know you think this is romantic but that's actually sexual harassment or even assault in some cases"). I get that things will happen for the sake of the plot but bruh....
