Being Too Considerate is Actually Rude... Maomao Apologizes Over Talk of Cat Neutering in "The Apothecary Diaries," Resulting in an Awkward Atmosphere

Things got awkward over talk of neutering... After Maomao (CV: Aoi Yūki) was overly considerate toward Jinshi (CV: Takeo Ōtsuka), who is a "eunuch," an indescribable atmosphere spread between them.

In Episode 25 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," Maomao ended up taking care of a kitten. Jinshi then came to visit, asking, "Is raising the child going well?"

When Jinshi looked at the kitten and murmured, "A female, is it?" Maomao began to say, "Yes, it's good that there's no need to neuter—" However, remembering that Jinshi is a eunuch who could only become one through castration, Maomao hastily covered her mouth and apologized, saying, "I'm very sorry." However, Jinshi replied, "No, there's no need to be considerate," looking awkward himself.
