I Quit Being a Noble and Became a Commoner Chapter 32 - Hen Inn

32: Hen Inn

The thing I hated most, 「a noble who asserted their power and acted as they pleased」was right in front of my eyes.

Why do I have to stay in this narrow carriage with such a fellow?

(No matter how much danger I was in, he shouldn’t have forcefully removed , right? That’s why I didn’t want to be involved with high-ranking nobles.)

I got out of the carriage urged by Roberto-sama and there was a two-story building in front of with a signboard that said, 『Fernand Empire 2nd Guard Station』.

What business does the guards, who protect this town, have with ?

I looked dubiously and Roberto-sama called, “Co here.”

The place I was told to go to was not the guard station but a cosy wooden inn next to it. A red curtain hung at the entrance of the inn. The first floor of the『Hen Inn』was a restaurant and the stationed guards also ca here to eat.

If you’re staying for the night then stay here... Because the Thousand House is ignorant of the ways of the world...”

Huh? Roberto-sama was looking out for . He muttered sothing in the second half of the sentence, but whatever.

I don’t know when, but Roberto-sama seed to have gotten my money refunded at the previous inn and gave the money.

He looked at as I nodded and called the Hen Inn’s proprietor.

The price for this inn was under half of what the previous inn costed. The first inn was certainly a place where 「people with money」stayed.

(Should I thank him for the ti being?)

“I have worried you. Thank you for bringing here.”

“I was also a bit aggressive. I apologise for that.”

(He speaks with superiority but he can properly apologise, can’t he.)

“In regards to you knowing things about sohow, I will overlook it if you don’t concern yourself with in the future.”

“Oh, no. I can’t not be concerned about you. Lady Ayesha-marie, I did a little investigation on you. I followed you after you left the noble registry section this morning. And I couldn’t stand to watch... *mumble mumble*.”

I narrowed my eyes.

Ehh, so you followed after , did you? You investigated , I see. The guard’s station is right next to here, isn’t it? There’s a lot of them there, aren’t there?

It would have been fine if he stayed silent about it. He could have done better.

He probably used soone from his house anyways. Don’t say that to the person you’re investigating.

Roberto-sama’s bored amber eyes shook.

It seed that Roberto-sama’s danger radar was going off at my cold attitude. He quickly tried to wrap things up here.

“I would like to invite you to the Royal Palace in a week under invitation of His Highness, Ludens, but, “I refuse,”.”

There was no longer any need for lady etiquettes.

I flat out refused, while smiling.

I shouldn’t get involved with stalkers. High-ranking nobles and the royal family were to be avoided. I only get bad premonitions from Roberto-sama.

I quickly took my bags.

“Thank you very much.”

I briskly walked towards the inn counter and took the room key from the proprietor and quickly went to the 2nd floor.

The stairs handrails were polished and felt nice.

It seed that the proprietor of Hen Inn didn’t mind nobles; he didn’t act timid towards Roberto-sama who obviously looked noble and shooed him away with a hiss.

This was certainly a nice inn.

The room at the end of the 2nd floor of Hen Inn was the room I was staying in tonight. It was only furnished with a bed, side table and hooks to hang clothes on the wall.

I entered the room, locked it and slipped straight into bed.

I was extrely hungry, but my ntalitly had received a lot of damage.

I fell asleep and was woken up by noise and delicious aromas that awoke my stomach.

“Was the first floor here the restaurant?”

My motto was to properly eat food. To properly have my als.

Good grief, because of soone I had to miss a al.

Well, there was no guarantee that I can eat three als hereafter.

I gently descended the stairs.

I don’t know if they had just finished work or ca here while they’re on duty, but there’s quite a lot of guards.

The guards’ uniform was a navy jacket and pants, the cuff of their jacket had a red line. They wore red scarves. The scarves were knotted in different ways, so knotted it thinly and so wore it like neckties. And lastly, the sa navy ten-gallon hat.

The knights and imperial guards were amazing, but the guards, who protected the city, was a target of admiration closer to oneself.

There are a lot of those guards.

There was such an inn here.

Commoners can also co here, it was a friendly inn.

There were people drinking alcohol, but this inn seed to be centred on food.

The waitress’ interactions were smooth, so for better or worse there was no strange sex appeal floating about the inn.

If it was like that then it would probably be alright for to mingle.

“Master, please recomnd sothing to eat.” I said and sat down in the most unnoticed corner of the inn.

I waited a bit and charcoal grilled chicken rubbed in rock salt and deep fried potatoes were presented in front of . It was very fragrant.

Simple cuisines satisfied empty stomachs.

“Yummy!’

I gobbled down more than half of the dish. I put both my hands on my face without thinking.

I can still encounter delicious food even if I’m not a noble. That’s nice.

I felt great.

Yes, I’ve grown up. Today is my birthday, isn’t it? Let’s finish this day with a laugh.

“Congrats, .” I toasted myself in a small voice and slightly lifted my glass of water.
