"What are you looking for?" Beth asked, confused, seeing Ash behaving strangely. If it were Ash's first time at her house, she might think he was observing her place, but that clearly wasn't the case.
"Of course, I'm looking for your dad. I don't want to cause you any trouble. You know, most drunkards are not easy to talk to and start fights over the smallest things, let alone when a stranger boy comes to visit his only source of income. What if he misunderstood me, thinking that I was eyeing his coin machine and wanted to steal you from him? Then, who knows, he might attack me. After all, most drunkards are unreasonable," Ash replied, breathing a sigh of relief after confirming that Beth was alone in the house.
