I Was Reincarnated as a Commoner. I Can’t Stand Living Like This, so I’ll Become an Aristocrat! C187

187, entering the dormitory

“Anne, Evan, and Tino, thank you for welcoming me.”

“Leon-sama, thank you for visiting today. We are ready.”

"Thank you. Now, let me introduce the new employees. From the left, they are Liz, Emma, ​​Chiara, Paul, Doni, and Livio. I'll introduce myself in detail later."

"Thank you very much. Everyone, I'm Anne. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Evan. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Tino. Nice to meet you."

After the three of them gave a simple greeting to everyone, everyone bowed their heads in a panic. 

"thank you"

"Okay, then for now, let's bring in the luggage. Once that's done, let's gather in the dining room. I'll guide Ronnie and Joanne, so can I ask Anne and Evan for everyone else?"

"I got it"

"Please leave it to me."

Then, everyone unloaded their luggage from the carriage and carried it into the room. Anne seems to be in charge of everyone. It's possible that they're all good kids, but Anne has also been raising servants, so she's very reliable. Good at organizing things. 

When I was looking at everyone, Ronnie asked me with a strange look on his face. 

"Leon? Why are we the only ones different?"

"Everyone is on the second floor, but their rooms are on the first floor. So I thought I'd show them around separately."

“Is that so?”

"Yeah. The rooms of people in important positions are all on the first floor. So Ronnie, Joanne, Anne, and Evan are on the first floor. Tino is also on the first floor because it's better to be closer to the kitchen."

"That's right. It seems like you've become great even though you haven't done anything..."

Ronnie said that with a strange look on his face. It's true that Ronnie has never had the experience of standing above someone... I guess I'll have to get used to that. You'll actually be in a great position. 

``First of all, I want Ronnie to be the manager of the store, and he will actually be in a position of great authority.He will have to get used to it.''

"...Yeah, that's right. It feels quite strange right now and I'm not used to it, but from now on I'll do my best to be recognized by everyone as the store manager!"

Ronnie looked angry and said that with a determined look on his face. It's very reliable. 

"Yeah, I'm counting on you. Nice to meet you. Now, let's carry your luggage. This is your room."

Then, I guided them to the front of the room and handed them each a room key. Each room in this building has a key. 

This eliminates the hassle of separating men and women by floor, and eliminates the need to worry about managing valuables, which is extremely convenient. After all, you need the key. 

Ronnie and Ioan used the keys they received to open the door to their room. Ioan walked into the room normally, but Ronnie froze when he opened the door. 

"Ronnie, aren't you coming in?"

“Leon...is it okay for you to use such a large room by yourself?”

Ronnie said that and turned around to face me who was standing behind me. He seemed quite surprised at the size of the room. 

It's not surprisingly spacious, but it's quite spacious compared to Ronnie's room before. That room was really small. If I put a wooden box bed there, there would be almost no place to step... 

“It’s okay because each person has one room.”

"But this room can fit three beds. Can three people use it?"

Ronnie asks, looking worried. 

If there were three beds in this room, there would be no place to step. Thinking so, I said to Ronnie with a wry smile. 

"Ronnie, a room isn't just for putting a bed. You also have to put your other luggage and a desk and table, right? Besides, there are plenty of rooms, so one room per person won't be a problem."

“I see… But don’t you think there’s a lot of empty space around here?”

Ronnie said that and pointed to an empty space in the room. To me, it's weirder to have a room with no empty space, but to Ronnie, it seems weird to have an empty space. 

It's true, the place I've been living in is an orphanage and that room. The orphanage had a room for four people, but most of the rooms were filled with beds. 

I guess I'll just have to get used to this difference in common sense. 

"If you have space, you can store a lot of personal items, which is convenient. As Ronnie works from now on, the number of personal items will increase, so this amount of space is necessary."

“Are you sure?”

"Yeah. Well, you'll get used to it eventually. Then, let's put more and more stuff in."

And so, Ronnie carried his luggage into the room, running into a wall of common sense. Joan lived in an aristocratic mansion, so things went pretty smoothly. 

"Then let's both go to the dining room."

"Yeah"

"I got it"

　

Then, when the three of us headed to the dining room, Tino was preparing lunch, and there was a wonderful smell in the air. I'm not hungry.... 

When we arrived at the cafeteria, everyone else seemed to have finished cleaning up and came to the cafeteria, so everyone was there. 

“Anne, have you all packed up your things?”

"Yes. I was surprised that there was only one room for each person, but I made sure to choose a room and brought my luggage in."

"That's fine, thank you. Well then, let's have lunch for now. It'll be hard to leave the room in this smell."

When I said that with a laugh, everyone shook their heads noisily. Everyone must be hungry. 

Based on the conditions at the orphanage, it didn't seem like I would ever be able to eat until I was full. 

"Very well. Now then, Leon-sama, please wait here. I will have the aspiring waiters practice serving the food. Emma and Chiara, please come to the kitchen with me."

"I got it"

Then, Anne took the two of them and went to the kitchen. 

"Then, everyone else, let's take our seats and wait. We'll decide the seating order later, but for today, just sit wherever you like. I want to talk, so please stay seated."

"yes"

After a few minutes of us sitting and waiting, the three of us, plus Tino, brought us our food. 

It's a normal dish of bread, meat stew, and stir-fried vegetables. But it looks really delicious. 

When everyone saw the food brought before them, their faces clearly relaxed. I'm glad that he seemed happy. 

However, as the dishes were brought out one after another, everyone's expressions became more and more worried. I wonder what happened? Was there something you weren't good at? 

"What's wrong with everyone? Aren't you happy?"

"No, I'm really happy, but...is it really okay for me to eat so many gorgeous dishes...?"

It was Doni who asked me that fearfully. On the other hand, are you worried that it's too much? Indeed, I might be thinking that there might be something behind it. 

"Of course. This amount will be the norm from now on. What's in front of you is for one person, so eat as much as you can. If you want more, I think you'll probably get a second helping, right?"

When I said that, Tino nodded. 

"Yes. I heard from Mr. Leon that all the children are in their prime growing age, so I made a little more."

"Thank you, Tino. That's why, if you can eat more, you can have another refill. Well, I want you to be careful not to eat too much."

"...H-really!?"

"of course!"

"thank you!!"

Doni seemed quite happy to hear that this amount will be the norm from now on and he can get more refills. Everyone else had similar expressions, even Livio's expressions didn't change much, his face relaxed. 

...Everyone eats more and more and grows bigger. 

While I was thinking about this from a parent's perspective, it seemed like lunch was ready. 

"Okay, everyone, let's eat lunch first. I'll eat it."

"I'll enjoy having this!!"

Following my command, everyone said their pre-meal greetings and the meal began. However, perhaps due to Asia-san's upbringing, they seem to be eating while maintaining the bare minimum of etiquette without being too greedy. It's still a great speed though. 

I also started eating a little later than everyone else. First, let's stew it. If you press the meat with a fork and cut it with a knife, the meat will be quite tender and you can easily cut it without using too much force. When you put it in your mouth, the umami of the meat and the umami of the sauce come together in your mouth, making it an exquisite dish. It's really delicious. 

"Tino, it's really delicious. After all, Tino is a good cook."

"Really!? Thank you!"

When I said that to Tino, who was watching me eat with a smile, his face instantly broke. 

But it's not a compliment, it's really delicious.
