Oh.

[mylord]

Well, didn't that feel like quite some time.

I'm very sorry I was late to work yesterday!

[mylord]

Thank you for your apology.

[mylord]

That is fine. Of course, your pay will be altered appropriately.

[growinmushrooms]

Understood!

[mylord]

Ah, and I must ask something from you.

[growinmushrooms]

Yes, sir! What is it?

[mylord]

Please don't be late again without prior notification. We must always be punctual.

[growinmushrooms]

I'm very sorry! When I ... went to bed... the night before, I was sixteen years older and employed as a jazz pianist, so my alarm clock wasn't set for the usual time at all! I don't think it will happen again!

[mylord]

[mylord]

I see.

[mylord]

I am afraid that does not change anything, but let's not dwell on the issue. I believe you will do your best to see it doesn't happen again and I appreciate your understanding and attention to this matter.

[mylord]

Ah, and don't watch television at night while it's raining.

[growinmushrooms]

Someone else was saying that as well! Are there reception problems on those nights?

[mylord]

Oh? A friend of yours or someone else?

[growinmushrooms]

I think it was Naoto-san!

[mylord]

Ah. My reasons are different then.

The stipulation for rainy nights is because I understand some may require background noise in order to sleep and not everyone will wish to use a fan. However, television is distracting and may keep them awake if they see something that interests them. This is unnecessary during rainy nights because background noise is provided by the atmosphere.

It is best to keep television off after ten o'clock. This lessens the chance of them being late for work the following morning if they did not get a sufficient amount of sleep due to watching something interesting.
