There was meaning behind the sizes of the rooms

Apparently, once I started the business, we would expect to have some important visitors. And given then Claire was the daughter of a duke... There was a need for the rooms to be a certain size.

Furthermore, if there were too few rooms, not only would we not be able to accommodate enough guests, but people might look down on us for it. It was the same with making the rooms smaller.

As for me, I didn’t really care what other people thought of me. But it was clearly a different matter for the duke.

It was troublesome indeed.

“The visitors to the village won’t only be people who want herbs. Once rumors spread, it will only be natural for other nobles to visit as well.”

“Especially after Lord Euto visited. And there is Anne... Even if it is a rare occurrence, it would not hurt to be prepared.”

“I understand. In that case... With all of that considered, we will make things smaller within reason, so that there will be no trouble...”

“I understand. As you are the one who will live in it, you must be satisfied.”

“Yes.”

And so we talked about how to make things smaller.

“Right now, I’m wearing my shoes inside of the house.”

“Yes. And what of it?”

“Well... Back where I used to live, we didn’t wear shoes indoors.”

“You were barefoot...? But what if the floor is filthy or covered in dangerous objects?”

“There were very few dangerous objects... Well, it’s easier to keep smaller spaces clean.”

After all, I had Leo, and could not leave anything dangerous around her. If I broke a cup or plate, I cleaned it up immediately.

Of course, as it was a different culture, I didn’t expect it to be accepted so easily.

“Well, I was wondering if maybe we could wear slippers instead?”

“Slippers? What is that?”

“Does it replace shoes? To be honest, I do not like the idea of walking around without shoes...”
