I Quit Being a Noble and Became a Commoner Chapter 38 - Looking for a Job

38: Looking for a Job

Bobles-san guided to a small inn managed by an elderly couple.

It looked like a slightly larger two-storey square house made out of bricks. The simple wooden furniture gave off a warm feeling and the patchwork bed cover was lovely.

I was staying overnight without any als and when I asked, “What about breakfast?” Bobles-san said, “Co to my place tomorrow at 7:30.”

The next morning, I went to Bobles-san’s house like I was told and he hadn’t left for work yet.

“I heard about you from Bobles. I’m his wife, Ery. These children are Randa and Lilil. It’s nice to et you.”

“Sa here, it’s nice to et you.”

In contrast to Bobles-san’s powerful and muscular physique, Ery-san looked like a delicate fairy with fluffy blonde hair and green eyes. Of course, the young children took after both their parents.

How on earth did Bobles-san and Ery-san et? I can’t even imagine it.

“I wonder if you’ll keep the children company. I’ll get breakfast ready in the anti.”

I didn’t even have ti to reply since the children took my hand and dragged away. We sat on a carpet at the corner of the living room.

I was troubled over how long I should wait.

I’m troubled and worried.

I’ve never played with young children before, there were only adults around . The only children around were my older brother and sisters.

(Should I play with them? What do they usually play?)

When I looked at the children, they got up and went sowhere.

Am I being hated...? Or so I thought but they soon ca back with sothing in each of their hands. They were showing their treasured things.

The older brother, Randa was holding a small bow. It was handmade by his father.

The younger sister, Lilil was holding a beautiful pebble. She had found it on a river beach.

The two each showed the items and smiled broadly when I said, “They’re lovely treasures.”

“Randa and Lilil, if you stick that close to Ayesha-oneechan then she can’t eat, now could she?”

It seed that the children liked .

Ery-san made a simple breakfast of unfernted bread, tomato soup and scrambled eggs.

We put our hands together and gave our thanks for the food.

After breakfast, I helped wash the dishes.

I talked about today’s plans while drinking tea.

“Can I call you Ayesha?”

“Yes, Ery-san.”

Unlike her delicate appearance, Ery-san had a generous older sister vibe to her. She reminded of Ada-san from the Hen Inn.

“Now then, it seems that Bobles has decided to be your guarantor, but what kind of work can you do? Where do you want to live? He’s pretty busy, so I’ll help you out.”

“I can work as a seamstress, I’m good at embroidery and I have also helped with prep work in the kitchen. I want to live in a house, but I have no money, so I hope I could rent a room sowhere.”

My father’s introduction letter and the fact that I could do office work was still a secret.

“Hmm... Well first, the way you eat is very refined, and you’re certainly a young lady from sowhere. There aren’t many requests for dresses here in Coolden like there are at the Royal Capital. But even if the dresses aren’t made here, I think there should still be requests for embroidery. However, if you want to work at ho, then you’ll probably need a large room. For now, you can work at the guards’ dining hall until you can find a sewing job. He said your attitude didn’t change even when you saw the guards. Please wait a little longer for to find a room for you near the house.”

(Huh? Did my attitude not change when I saw them? Did I do sothing weird?)

Apparently I made a funny face because Ery-san giggled, “It’s fine if you don’t know what I’m on about.”

“Now then, let’s go out everyone.”

The four of us walked to the streets lined up with Coolden’s clothing stores.

◊♦◊♦◊♦◊

The carriage only drove from the guards’ building to the city centre from morning till evening. We had young children with us so we rode it.

Randa and Lilil made a big fuss.

I looked at the light blue organdie scarf embroider with roses and Ery-san brought to a popular clothing store in Colden.

First, I entered the store from the front as a custor. I interacted with the staff and would only go to the back once I like it. Then I’ll ask them to let et the shop owner.

There were also children here, so I would be the only one to et the owner.

“Is it alright for to look for work in such a bold way? I’ll do anything, so won’t you hire ? Should I say sothing like that?”

“Oh my, even I could tell that your work is extrely beautiful. They’ll definitely hire you. And having my husband as your guarantor also gives you a double advantage.”

The first shop we entered felt like they only wanted to serve rich custors and I didn’t like that.

The second had a balance of trendy and standard goods and the custor service was polite and kind, even if they were dealing with commoners or people with children.

Of course I chose the 2nd shop.

I entered the second clothing shop from the back. There I was shown the workshop and cloth storage place, before being guided to the reception area of the shop.

The shop owner ca and switched with the person guiding .

I took the organdie scarf from my backpack and put it on the table.

“I’m looking to work as a seamstress. I made this scarf, please have a look at it.”

It was a morial that I used when I went to the ball hosted at the Royal Castle.

It’s only been a few days since then, but it was already a distant mory for .

The shop owner picked up the scarf and looked at it carefully.

“This is the organdie scarf that’s trendy at the Royal Capital right now, isn’t it? ... Hmm, you did a very good job.”

(I did it! I made a good impression.)

“Did you really sew this?”

“Yes, my mother was a seamstress, so she taught her craft.”

“For the ti being, I’ll give you a plain scarf, so embroider it with sothing. I’ll reward you if it’s good.”

It was a recruitnt test.

My interview ended without a hitch.

Afterward, I t up with Ery-san outside and we had rice noodles with atballs at a stall for lunch; then we returned by carriage.

I returned to the house once and talked with Bobles-san. It was decided that I would help out at the guards’ dining hall in my spare ti. We both went to the dining hall together and I received a new white apron. I will be prepping food in the kitchen. Dinner would be staff als. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Yup, this was fulfilling, I get to interact with different people.

I was surprised that I started laughing out loud. I thought might have forgotten how to laugh out loud.

It was worth it to quit being a noble.

Due to my excitent, I thought that I wouldn’t be able to sleep, but I was tired from work and slept soundly until morning.
