I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C186

186, everyone moving

Today is the day Ronnie and his friends come to downtown. 

Yesterday, I went to the dormitory and told Anne and the others about it, and asked Tino for lunch for everyone. I didn't forget to remind him to just eat normal food, so it should be fine. 

And now, just before noon, I rode a horse-drawn carriage with Roger to the plaza at the entrance to the city center. When I stopped the carriage a little away from the omnibus stop and looked around, I saw Ronnie and everyone else. Ronnie, Liz, Emma, ​​Chiara, Paul, Doni, Livio, they all seem to be there. 

It seems like you haven't noticed us yet. Everyone was standing upright and motionless, looking nervous. 

“Roger, I’m going to call everyone.”

"I'll come too."

Then, when I went to everyone with Roger, the first person I noticed was Ronnie. 

“Ah, Leon!”

"Lonnie, it's been a while. I'm glad we were able to meet up smoothly. It's been a while, everyone. Would you like to take a ride in the carriage first?"

"Yeah. Thank you."

"I-I'm smart."

　Everyone seems to be quite nervous. Well, since I was at the orphanage, it was probably my first time riding in a carriage or coming to the city center, so it was natural for me to be nervous. 

When I first came, I was excited but also a little nervous. Marcel brought me here. It feels nostalgic somehow. 

While remembering this, I guided everyone to the carriage. 

"Put your luggage in the back carriage and get in the front carriage."

"I-Is it okay for me to ride in such a magnificent carriage?"

It was Emma who exclaimed happily. Ronnie's younger sister Liz is next to him, her eyes shining. 

This carriage is an incognito carriage for the Duke's family, so it's fine but not luxurious. However, I'm glad that there is a world of difference compared to a horse-drawn carriage. I was also impressed at first... When I look at everyone, it reminds me of the beginning. 

"Of course. Just keep riding."

After everyone put their luggage down and got into the carriage, the carriage started heading towards Ronnie's house. 

“Then, once again, thank you everyone for coming to the downtown area. I think we will be friends for a long time from now on, so please take care of yourself. By the way, the person with me is my servant Roger. Please keep that in mind, as I think we may meet in the future.”

"It's Mr. Roger! You're so smart!"

The person who said this cheerfully was Doni, who was scheduled to be in charge of security. There are two people in charge of security, Doni and Livio, but Doni is short and has a fairly sturdy build, while Livio is quite tall and has a strong and fearless appearance, which is a contrast. Of course, Livio also has a nice build, but his height gives him a slender impression. 

Their personalities are also contrasting, with Doni being energetic and active, while Livio is calm and quiet. 

"My name is Roger. I work for Leon-sama, so I'm sure I'll have some involvement in the future. Thank you in advance."

Roger said that and bowed beautifully. 

"thank you"

After saying that, everyone bowed their heads. Thanks to the education at the orphanage, I have learned the basics of etiquette, so I can't believe that everyone came from an orphanage. That orphanage, no, Asia-san, is truly amazing. 

"Okay, let's get started with our plans, but first we're going to Ronnie's house. I'm thinking of having you move in today. Is that okay?"

When I asked Ronnie that, he smiled happily and nodded. 

"Yes! I'm happy to be able to live with you all from today. Thank you."

"Good then. Then, let's go to Ronnie's house. Then, after putting all of Ronnie's luggage into the carriage, we will go to the head chef Yoan's house. Then, we will take Yoan's luggage and head to the employee dormitory. I guess that's the plan for now. I'll make plans after we get to the employee dormitory."

"I'm very happy. I'm looking forward to meeting Yoan-san!"

The person who said this happily was Paul, who aspires to be a chef. Paul will probably have the most interaction with Yoan, so I hope they get along well. 

“Ioan is truly an amazing chef, so I hope he can teach me a lot.”

"Yes. I'll do my best!"

"Also, there's a cook in the employee dormitory who prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner for everyone. I'll introduce you to him later, but he's also an amazing cook, so it's a good idea to learn from him when you have time."

If you learn from them and hone your skills, you'll be able to master both sweets and meals. It may be a very good environment for people who want to become chefs. 

“Can I have breakfast, lunch and dinner?”

When I was thinking about that, Chiara said, looking surprised. Chiara is a cheerful girl who wants to be a waiter. 

"Yeah. So you don't have to worry about food."

"But isn't that too high of a deal? They even provide you with a place to live and meals..."

I'm sure it's a bargain considering that you'll be hired at a restaurant in the area. But, well, it really depends on the workplace. All the servants of the aristocrats have that system. I'm sure there are many companies like this in the Chamber of Commerce as well. 

Besides, we plan to deduct it from everyone's wages, so it's okay. 

"No. I'll deduct the dormitory management fees and meal costs from everyone's salary, so it's okay. Oh, if there's anyone who doesn't like that and would like to eat whatever they want, please let me know."

"That's not true! In fact, I'm really grateful that you can provide me with three meals."

When Chiara said that, everyone nodded vigorously in agreement. 

"That would be great. I think it's really delicious, so please look forward to it."

"I'm looking forward to it."

While we were talking, we arrived near Ronnie's house. The carriage can't get in front of Ronnie's house, so we have to go as far as the main street in front. 

"Ronnie, do you need help carrying my luggage?"

"Yeah, but we don't have that much baggage, so could you just help Doni and Livio?"

"Understood!"

"Of course."

Then Ronnie took the two of them to the house and returned a while later with several wooden boxes. 

“Is that all?”

"Yeah! Now we've moved in. I talked to the landlord and he returned the keys, so it's okay."

"Good then. Let's move on then."

Then I moved the carriage again and came to Joan's house. I didn't know where Yoann's house was either, but Roger knew it because he had informed me in advance. 

I was able to get quite close to Yoan's house by horse-drawn carriage, so as soon as the horse-drawn carriage stopped, Yoan came out of the house. He probably checked outside frequently. 

I asked everyone to stay in the carriage and got off the carriage to guide Joan. 

“Yoan, please wait.”

"No, thank you for coming to pick me up. All my luggage is here, so just put it on the carriage and we'll be on our way."

"Okay. Then put your luggage in the back carriage. Then get in the front carriage."

"I got it"

Then I got into the carriage with Joan. Everyone seemed to be momentarily taken aback by the large and strong-looking Yoan, but their wariness quickly eased as Yoan smiled at everyone. 

Ioan is surprisingly approachable, so I'm sure you'll get used to it quickly. 

"Then let me introduce you. This is Yoan, who will be working as the head chef at the restaurant. He is working hard on the development of sweets all by himself."

"Yoan-san! My name is Paul. I want to become a chef, and I look forward to working with you!"

"I see. Nice to meet you."

Starting with Paul's very excited greeting, everyone exchanged greetings with Joanne one after another. 

After everyone had finished greeting each other and had become a little more familiar, the carriage finally arrived at the employee dormitory. 

Looking up at the dormitory from inside the carriage, Ronnie was the first to speak up. 

"...Eh!? It's such a beautiful building!? Besides, it's big and new..."

Ronnie said as he looked up at the building in amazement. Everyone else feels the same way. 

"That's right. This entire building is an employee dormitory."

As I was explaining this and urging everyone to get off the carriage, Anne, Evan, and Tino immediately came to greet me.
