I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C133

133, Stacey's friend

"Carolyn, that's true. Stacey's happiness is more important. I'm going to stop researching sweets. Ah, but Leon-kun, have you ever talked about sweets research?"

 That's right. But if the Daligaard family no longer does sweets research, they might be able to easily pull out the chefs who were doing the research. 

Maybe the timing was good. 

"Yes. Maybe we can solve the problem of sweets research."

"Are you sure? Tell me in detail."

``I run a food stall called crepes, and I would like to turn that stall into a store and open a specialty sweets store.So, I started thinking about recipes for the sweets I would like to serve at the store. I'm looking for a chef who can experiment with me through trial and error.When I talked to Mr. Richard about this, he introduced me to Mr. Pierre.If you'd like, I'd like to work on researching sweets. Is it okay for me to hire the chef you were working on? I will also take over the research on sweets.”

When I said that, Pierre-sama looked quite surprised, and then he looked happy. I really like sweets. 

"That's a really nice offer, thank you Leon-kun. I'm also surprised that the crepe was sold at Leon-kun's stall."

“Were you able to eat the crepe?”

"I've eaten it many times already. I went to buy it as soon as I heard that there was a new sweets, and I was really surprised when I tried it. It's really delicious and I go back to buy it often."

"Thank you. I'm very happy"

"I'm sure that flavor would sell well in a store. But why make it a store that specializes in sweets rather than crepes?"

“I like sweet things, so I would like to see more sweets products developed.I would like to be a pioneer in this area.”

　

When I said that, Pierre-sama and Carolyn-sama stood up vigorously and leaned forward with sparkling eyes. 

“Leon, you are amazing!”

"It's true! I can't believe you're thinking about developing sweets!"

"Oh, thank you very much"

I really love sweets. If you work hard to make delicious sweets, you'll definitely want to share them with the two of you. 

"You should meet him first. He is a chef who loves researching sweets, and I can guarantee his enthusiasm."

“I would love to meet you. Thank you very much, Pierre.”

"That's my line. I'm looking forward to eating at Leon-kun's restaurant when it opens."

Pierre-sama said that and smiled kindly. What a good person...! I thought Richard-sama was also a really nice person, but I guess people call themselves friends after all. 

I'm surrounded by so many good people that it's almost scary. 

"Let's call the cook right away."

Pierre-sama said that and left the room. Maybe instead of having a servant call for you, you should call for it yourself! ? I guess there were such aristocrats... 

When I was so surprised, Carolyn-sama spoke to me with a wry smile. 

"I'm sorry for being so lazy. He always makes the move himself. I told him to ask the servants when he had guests over..."

"No, I don't mind, but...I was surprised to see someone like that for the first time."

"That's not something a nobleman should be praised for."

While saying this, Carolyn-sama looked at the door where Pierre-sama exited and smiled kindly. I guess Carolyn-sama likes Pierre-sama like that. 

I understood what Roger meant by being a heretic as a nobleman. But I really like this house. 

"I'm a commoner, so don't worry about it. I'm still not used to the way nobles rely on their servants for everything."

"Oh, that's right. Well, today we'll do what we normally do."

Carolyn-sama said that and smiled. 

"Please do so"

"Well, first I need to get you some tea. Leon-kun, please talk to Stacey."

Carolyn-sama said that and left the room. There are only four people in the room: Roger, Stacey-sama, and his servant. 

It's strange when you visit a nobleman's mansion and the family you visit disappears. When I thought that and felt a little uncomfortable, Stacey-sama spoke to me. 

"Thanks to Leon, I think I'll be able to open my own shop. Thank you."

“No, I just gave you some advice.”

"Is it okay if I continue to talk to you about anything? Leon also runs a shop, right?"

"Yes. I'm planning to open a sweets specialty store."

"Now then, let's get along well as we open a shop."

"thank you"

Stacey-sama has some strange aspects, but she's basically a decent person... Why did I feel like that? 

Well, even if you think about it, you still don't understand. I quickly abandoned my thoughts and looked at the planter placed on the table in front of Stacey-sama. Beautiful white flowers are blooming there. 

“Mr. Stacey, are you going to introduce me to me?”

"That's right! This child is the cutest among the flower friends. I think Leon will get along well too."

"I-I see..."

"My name is Yuki. Please introduce yourself."

　Self-introduction! ? It's so funny just thinking about introducing myself to flowers. But Stacey-sama is serious, so don't laugh. Absolutely not! I told myself that and introduced myself seriously. 

"Nice to meet you, my name is Leon. Well, I'm Stacey-sama's friend. Nice to meet you."

"Yuki seems very happy!"

Stacey-sama said that with a big smile. Something was starting to scare me. 

Is it possible that you can really understand the feelings of plants? No, that's not true...but this is a different world and there's magic... 

“Ah, um, Stacey-sama?”

"what is it?"

"You said earlier that you were happy, but how did you know...?"

"Why? Just look at it and you'll understand. Look, don't you feel like you're happy? The petals are glossier than before."

"I-Is that so? Maybe so? Um, it's not like you can hear Yuki-chan's voice or anything...?"

"Is it a voice? I can't hear it, can you?"

"That's right. That's fine."

Hmm, it's not like you have any special abilities like being able to talk to plants. That was good. Was it good? But it's definitely difficult to understand the feelings of plants. I'm glad I don't have that ability. 

As I was breathing a sigh of relief, Pierre-sama and Carolyn-sama returned to the room. The two are accompanied by a large, strong-looking man. I wonder if this person is the sweets chef? 

Something about it...it seems more suited to someone like a soldier than a chef. 

"Leon-kun, he's the chef who researches sweets..."

“Grandfather, please wait.”

Just as Pierre-sama started introducing the chef, Stacey-sama interrupted him. It would happened to. 

"Stacey, what's wrong?"

“Grandfather, I introduced my friend to Leon, so I would like to apologize first.I would like to talk to the chef about the restaurant I mentioned earlier.The head chef prepares my meals every day. So I think you can use that recipe!”

"That's true... Stacey always tries through trial and error to make sure the food tastes good."

I see, every day through trial and error, I was cooking a vegetable-only dish for Stacey-sama's meal. I think it will definitely work. It would be a waste to keep that know-how only at home. 

"That's right. Well then, I'll go to the head chef!"

Stacey-sama said that and immediately left the room. Maybe it's because it's home, but Stacey-sama has a lot of freedom. But it looks like fun, isn't it? 

I looked at Stacey-sama and felt a smile naturally grow on my face.
