- Ever since his mothers disappearance, his father has been so absorbed in his hobbies that Boron has had to take care of guests, do menial jobs, and even teach at the temple in place of his dad

*The translation for this came out funny so it may not be fully correct
**Puja is the Hindu act of worship
***Terakoya is the teaching of reading and writing, but can also include teaching history, geography, as well as teaching girls sewing, tea ceremony rituals, and flower arranging.
It is often done by Buddhist priests/clergy and took place during the Edo period (possibly a continued tradition in the village)
