In a visual novel a girl just said そうですねー and the guy replied

> 「僕はですね、伯母の紹介だったからこそ、ここでバイトしてる訳ですが。」

I feel like he's making fun of her for saying desu ne.... and that she sounds
like his aunt?

_Edit._ バイト means "work" in this context.

question
translation spoken-language
Is “僕はですね” making fun of a girl who just said “そうですねー”?
```

    I, well, on behalf of having been introduced by (OR: to) my aunt, started working here.
    
```

Editor's note: "work" means バイト in this context ;)

I feel that Jens' translation is missing the emphasis present in the Japanese
text, so here is my version.

```

    In my case, I work here because it came through my aunt.
    
```

I don't think he's making fun of her. ですね just adds a bit of emphasis on 僕,
presumably because the conversation was about that girl, and he's switching
the topic of conversation to about himself. Then he says 伯母の紹介だったからこそ, which
emphasizes that the work came through the aunt, or else he wouldn't be here.
So once again, the topic of the conversation right before this must have been
why the girl is working here.

I think Jens' translation is unnatural and slightly flawed, and I am basing
mine off of Kohsuke Kawaguchi's correct answer, but making the English more
natural.

> 「僕はですね、伯母の紹介だったからこそ、ここでバイトしてる訳ですが。」
>
> Well, as for me, it's really just because my aunt referred me that I'm
> working here.

More natural:

> You know, the reason I'm working here is just because my aunt referred me.

Break down:

> 「僕はですね、伯母の紹介だったからこそ、ここでバイトしてる訳ですが。」
>
> As for me, just because of aunt's referral, is reason I'm working here.
