Don't worry so much about the details... just keep working to becoming a sweet, lovable girl, alright?

... I will raise bees.

.....didn't see that coming.

Why bees?

Because they are associated with sweet and lovable things.

...actually, a decent number of people are quite afraid of bees, due to their sting.

Though, people do like honey, but that's a more literal interpretation of 'sweet'.

I meant more in the sense of being kind, thoughtful, caring, that sort of thing.

Bees sting?

Yes, they sting. It's how they protect their hive.

Honeybees lose their stinger after they use it, though, so individual bees die in defense of the hive. The problem, of course, is the fact that bees swarm, delivering multiple stings, which can kill even humans, with enough stings.

So I shall breed stingerless bees.

...I'm... not sure that's possible. Plus, they'd probably die off without their protection.

Why would they need protection?

From other insects that might want to kill them and eat their honey (which would kill their young, as well). Basically to protect themselves from anything that might attack their hive.

But it would be with Moeko.

...Uh... you know that bees need lots of flowers to make their honey, right? And that flowers need sunlight, so they really should be outdoors?

Then I shall put the flowers and sun with me.

....

I... think it'd be better if you just raised something else, Moeko. Much less work.

Moeko shall raise you.

...that's sweet of you, dear, but technically I'd be the one raising you, not the other way around.

Then Moeko shall change that.

... I think what you need is a pet, dear.

That's good, Pet.

...No me, Moeko. I mean like... a cat, or a bunny, or a dog. Maybe even an exotic bird.

You can be one, Pet.

...

How do you propose to 'take care of me'?

By feeding you, and petting you on the head, and calling you "Pet".

...

This is a disturbing development, but honestly I'm not sure I'd mind it at first.
