I'd liked to think that the thought bubble on the last panel belongs to Tojiko, just for more irony.

I believe it does, which is why I translated it as such.

I'm curious. Why do you translate her dialogue that way? Is it the dialect or mode of speech she uses?

She uses very coarse, informal verb forms and elided or slurred words, indicating tough or lowbrow speech. E.g., in panel one here, she says しゃあねぇな (Shaa nee na), whereas someone using proper diction would say しようがないですね (Shiyou ga nai desu ne), or at worst しようがないな (Shiyou ga nai na).

So, pretty much exactly the way you've rendered her dialogue in English. Thanks.

At least you don't need to worry about feeding.
