[Well, isn't Makoto earnest? More than that, he's a man with a strong moral compass. Imagine how much it'll shock Diluc to learn what Makoto actually does in his day to day life at home.
...So while he's poised to agree, what Makoto follows that up with has Diluc quietly, briefly laughing. He's earnest with a strong moral compass, but... he's also a pushover, isn't he? No need to fill on the blanks, Makoto— Diluc can easily see how you fell in with this man.]
You speak like you have any obligation to pay for this man and his bad behavior. You aren't his mother, Makoto. If he's invoked the barkeep's ire because he expects you to pay his tab, let him work in the kitchen and dig himself back out of that hole.
[It's not your problem, Makoto... but that's the problem with being so big-hearted: everything becomes your problem when you think you can help them. Diluc understands as well as he does simply because he was exactly that kind of boy in his youth. He gets you, Makoto.]
