"Then Arte won't talk to Daddy. Arte doesn't want to annoy Daddy too…."
Gaius' blood ran cold, knowing that Artemis also had a bad opinion about her Daddy. Maybe she didn't realize it yet, but Gaius feared that bad opinion would turn into resentment or, even worse, hate towards her Dad.
"You should talk to Daddy, okay? Daddy will never get angry at you because he loves you," Gaius said to Artemis.
"Un… but Daddy got angry with Mommy? So he doesn't love Mommy?"
…
[Goddamn you child, stop pitting me against my own words!]
[How could a kid come up with that kind of answer?! Pupa is she a transmigrator as well!?]
[Pupa: No, she's just smarter than you.]
"D—Daddy loves Mommy too, but he's just angry at that moment. D—Don't think about it too much. It's just a one-time thing, okay?"
"Okay, Mommy…"
Ding-Dong!
