"The Red Shoes"? Hmpf. Good thing I checked the Network before trying these on.

Honestly. How pathetic that the deities had to copy that old fairytale for a new idea. It didn't teach a good lesson. Sometimes parents are too selfish and should let their children dance if that's what they wanted.

I don't need new dancing shoes. You can keep this

[as a new parent - sort of - nekozawa can't help but pick this up.]

Selfish parents...

[princess_crow]

Too many of them make impossible demands. Hmpf.

[fufufromouran]

What about a parent, who... hypothetically... wasn't watching the child when the shoes were delivered, and so the child put them on?

[princess_crow]

I would say they are neglectful and scatter-brained to not pay attention. The girl who tries on the shoes dies at the end of the tale.

[AGH AGH AGH AGH noooo ;A;]

IT WAS JUST FOR A SECOND!

[princess_crow]

You made the mistake? Aren't you too young to be the father of a child?

[fufufromouran]

W-well... I had befriended this young girl, Maria Ushiromiya, but then her mother left the city, so I offered to let her stay with me, and we've been living together for a long time now...

[Oh? Wasn't there a more qualified adult for this...]

[princess_crow]

Keep her feet from touching the ground.

[fufufromouran]

I have been! When she isn't sleeping, I've been carrying her around.

[princess_crow]

You are not a complete failure. I should congratulate you.

[fufufromouran]

No parent is perfect, but I try my best~

[princess_crow]

If you don't scare her or blackmail her with your love, you won't do a terrible job.

[fufufromouran]

Blackmail her?! What kind of insane madman would do that to a child!

[princess_crow]

Obviously, a bad father. Don't mess up.

[fufufromouran]

You can trust me! I treat her the same as I would my little sister!
