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

Volume 1-: Children of the Commoners

Chapter 30-: Mother and Father's Parents' Home

(TL By GUST)

Beyond the cold and harsh winters, warm spring has arrived. I will take the royal school exam next winter and enrol in the spring, so it will be another year to live here.

　I'm a little lonely, but I'm more excited because it's not a lifetime farewell.

　And it's been a year since I was reincarnated. It was in no time. I still have memories of Japan, but I feel more like Leon.

　It's sad to forget about Japan, but it may be good for living in this world.

　There are things I can't forget, but I can't forget the comfortable and convenient life, Japanese tastes such as soy sauce, miso, and rice, and entertainment products such as TVs, smartphones, games, and manga! !!

　The more I remember, the more I want it ... For the time being, get a comfortable life! After that, I want to get soy sauce, miso, and rice. I don't know what to do ...

　But let's go without giving up!

　One morning in the spring, my mom and dad suddenly told me.

"Leon, Marie, I'm going to Grandpa and Grandma for a week from tomorrow."

　I was shocked to hear the words. Come to think of it, there are grandpas and grandmas, thinking normally ...

　I couldn't think of it because I lived desperately until now. And I've never met in the last year.

　In Leon's memory ………… I may have met him when he was very small. But I remember too much when I was little, and it's ambiguous and I don't understand.

"Grandpa and grandma?"

　Marie leaned her head and heard. Marie wouldn't remember if she met only when I couldn't remember.

"Yeah. My mom and dad, Jean's mom and dad. I've never been to see Marie when she was born, so I thought I'd go this year."

"I think everyone will be very happy to meet Leon and Marie."

　Not going to see you at all means you don't live nearby. Are you not in the royal capital?

"Grandpa and grandma aren't in the royal capital?"

"I'm in the royal capital, but my dad's parents are farming and Roana's parents are livestock, so I'm in the suburbs of the royal capital. My parents' homes are next to each other."

　You mean you're on the farmland you see when you go to the forest! The fact that the parents' houses are next to each other means that they are childhood friends. After all, in this world, do you often get married by introducing your parents?

　Or rather, why didn't father and mother inherit agriculture and livestock?

"Why didn't my dad and mom take over the job?"

"My dad is my second son. My brother is taking over."

"My brother has taken over my mother's house."

　That's why I got married, came to the city, and opened a shop.

　...... So you bought this house after you got married, right? I think this house is pretty good, but did you buy it? It looks expensive if you bought it ...

　My house has a courtyard and a well. At first, I thought it was natural for each house to have a well, but this seems to be a very luxurious thing. Most homes share about one well in the area.

"Did your father and mother get married and move to this house?"

"Yeah. At first, I was thinking of renting a small room and hiring each other at a workshop, but the merchant who came to my parents' house to buy it introduced me to this house. It seems that the house was built by a rich merchant for the second son who wants to run a cafeteria. But the second son couldn't have children and there was no one to take over the cafeteria, so we talked to him. I'm here. "

"I was really lucky to be able to buy this house cheaply. I can stay with Roana all the time."

"Jean …………"

　The two stared at each other and began to create a lovely atmosphere. Awkward ... I have to talk about something.

"Well, uh, how far is Grandpa and Grandma's house?"

"Well ... it doesn't take long if you go by horse-drawn carriage, but it's a long way from walking. I wonder if I'll leave the house in the morning and arrive in the evening?"

　e! ?? Is it so far? Or rather, go on foot! ??

"Isn't there a carriage? A horse-drawn carriage?"

"There are no horse-drawn carriages on the farmland. I'm lucky if you're lucky enough to get on the merchant's carriage, but I'm going to have products for sale on the farmland, and on the way back I'll have products for sale in the city, so extra people There aren't many merchants who can carry a horse-drawn carriage. "

　Is that so, walking ...

　Well, I'm training, I can use physical strengthening magic, so it's not that hard.

　I can use magic, so I have to be willing to carry everyone's luggage.

"Then you have to walk. I'll do my best to walk! I'll carry my luggage!"

"Oh, thank you. So today I'm preparing for tomorrow! I'll be closed from today."

"Yeah! What should I bring?"

You can't carry so much luggage on foot. Isn't there anything you need so much?　

"Leon and Marie always put their clothes in the basket that goes to the forest and prepare them. After that, I also prepare beast bells and knives for self-defence."

"all right"

"me too!"

　I can't have that much at all. Should I bring some souvenirs?

"Mom, can I bring some souvenirs?"

"I think it makes me very happy."

"What do you like?"

"Well, both parents work outside, so I think they'll be happy with things that can avoid the sun and towels."

"OK! Then can I see souvenirs?"

"It's okay. Be careful."

"Yes!"

　I suddenly thought when I said that and tried to go out. By the way, besides grandpa and grandma, there may be older brothers and their children.

"That's right, there are also mother and father's brother and wife and children, right?"

"Yes, I'm here."

"Then do you need more souvenirs?"

"I would be happy if I had one, but I don't think it's necessary. I don't always bring souvenirs. When I get there, it's enough to play with them and help them with their work."

"Well ... well, let's think about it! I'm going!"

　I was thinking while leaving the house and heading to the street with many shops. What should I do? First, let's take a look at the stores that sell clothes and cloth.

　I came to a textile store that seems to sell the best in this area.

"Welcome. What do you want?"

　The clerk is a plump aunt. I answered not to use honorifics so as not to be unnatural.

"I want to buy a present for my grandpa and grandma. Do you have a towel?"

"There is. It's around here."

　Most of them were undyed towels, but there were also some dyed towels.

"How much is this coloured?"

"It's one small bronze coin. If it's not coloured, it's two small bronze coins."

　Is it 500 yen and 200 yen? Well, it's not that expensive.

　I wonder if this is a coloured gift.

"Give me two blue and two red"

"Yes, 20 small bronze coins."

"Can I have two bronze coins?"

"OK"

"Then this"

"Thanks, dear!"

　I bought two bluish washcloths and two reddish washcloths. I wondered if the different colours would be good for grandpa and grandma.

　Alright, what should I do next? There aren't many things in this world, so you may have trouble with souvenirs.

　As I walked down the street where the store was located, wondering about souvenirs for other people, I found a store selling wooden tableware. If it's tableware, it may break and you may buy a new one, so it might be a good souvenir.

　With that in mind, I entered the store. The owner of this shop is a solid uncle.

"Welcome! Are you using a shaven? What do you want?"

"I wasn't using it, I was looking for a souvenir because I'm going to meet my uncles next time. Is there anything good?"

"Then there's just the right thing! This is a water bottle made of bamboo. Somehow, this was the mainstream in the past, but for some reason, leather bags started to become popular, and this one has become popular again recently. I've tried it too, but it's definitely more convenient. I don't know why the leather bag was so popular. "

　There was also bamboo! By the way, it may be in the forest I always go to ...? I hadn't seen it so well, so I didn't notice it.

　Absolutely a bamboo water bottle is easier to use! The leather bag is insanely hard to drink. Why was the leather bag so popular ...?

　Well, I don't know what's going on, but don't feel anything artificial ...

"Do you want to buy this shaved?"

"How much is that one?"

"This is one bronze coin. Isn't it so expensive? Can't you buy it for a shaven?"

　It's cheap ... I guess it's because you can get raw materials anywhere.

　Rather, this might be a good souvenir! If you work outside, hydration is essential, and it's convenient because it has a linen cord that you can hang from your neck and you can tie it to your waist.

　I want this, and I'll buy it for my family.

　There are four in my house and four for my brother and wife, for a total of eight.

"Then, give me eight of these."

"Eight !? Do you have so much money? Eight bronze coins in all?"

"I have the last minute. Yes, can I pay with silver coins?"

"Oh, oh, it's okay if you have one. Wait a minute, he bought a lot, so I'll put it in a jute bag as a service. It's hard to bring it home."

"Thank you, uncle!"

"Okay, yes. Two bronze coins for fishing and eight water bottles for bamboo."

"Thank you!"

"Oh, if something happens again, come on."

"Yes!"

　Alright, I was able to do a good shopping. This makes it convenient for me to go to the forest! Actually, if you use water magic, you don't need a water bottle, but I'm supposed to have a recovery attribute, so I can't use water magic so that it doesn't get caught. I want to be able to use it anytime soon ...

The rest are children, but I don't know what they need, and I'm sure there is sugar left, so I wonder if I should bring it and make sweets.

　I thought so and went home.
