It has already been past a month since I became a commoner. After getting this life I had always wished for, I had not felt once disappointment like What! Is this all? and thanked God every day for this happiness I feel while continuing to live this commoner life.
In my past life, I, of course, was a commoner and thought that was naturalâŚbut experiencing changing from a noble to a commoner like this, I felt this happiness is very hard to obtain.
You wonât find a single home who wonât be troubled by the minimum amount of food required to live on a daily basis, the people who shiver because of the cold, but compared to the people who hurt and are hurt by the war and live hurting people, you can say they are living an extraordinary happiness. Even so, what is the meaning if you compare them to the unfortunate people? I just simply chose the future that gives me the slightest chance of being happy.
âŚThough it was a lie, Lily-chan who is now engaged to the Ore-sama prince must be happy. The prince too. Though he was originally with the heroine, he is a better match personality wise with Lily-chan instead of me. Though my parents must be disappointed with me, but this was a cold relationship from the beginning. Also, I had no interest in becoming the sacrifice for my parentâs happiness. Though they are my parents of this world so I donât wish for them to fall into misfortune. Though I felt bad for Evan-kun, if I didnât choose him, he will still end up with a broken heart so I decided to quickly get this over with and make him give up on me.
An ending where no one falls into misfortune, I believe this is also a form of a happy end.
âFii-chan really seems like she has fun working huh.â
My current workplace, the bakeryâs owner Michelle-san smiled as he watches me.
By the way, Fii-chan is not a simple nickname. Since I got banished from the Suwarose family, I canât go around calling myself the name my parents gave me. I decided to take the Fii and Kurou from my previous name so I can react to it naturally.
Actually, a commoner with a family name is already pretty rare itself but from the beginning of my birth, I was living as a noble and doesnât seem like a commoner. That is why the family name will be an introducing factor itself. Introducing me as a person who didnât hide and not be caught in weird results. A new name with a family name.
âItâs because work is really fun ~monâ
âItâs rare for young girls to work for money but, girls this ambitious rarely stay. Iâm glad I hired you.â
âI am honored to accept your words.â
As you can see both my work and human relation are very good. Not only that, after work, I get to eat delicious leftover bread. What a wonderful workplace.
âBut are you okay? You seemed to have gotten fatter. You bring home a huge amount of bread every dayâŚitâs all leftovers so itâs okay but donât tell me you eat all of it aloneâŚâ
ââŚIt-, Itâs happy fat! Donât worry, Iâm just in high spirits. The tension (TL: Excitement) will go down and my weight will return! It will return!â
I desperately tried to find an excuse while dripping cold sweat. I must have gotten a little fat without the nagging caretaker or the sarcastic tailor. Letâs tart dieting todayâŚ.
âYes yes. Fii-chan is a beauty so you must be careful with your weight. When I first hired you, you had beautiful hair and hands that remind me of a certain noble daughter.â
âI-, Is that soăźâ
I got a cold sweat. W-, Well, I p-p-p-prepared the family name for that situation so it should be just fine! I think!
However, that said, I was told that it was such a waste after I unhesitantly chopped off my waist long hair which was in the way into a shorter style. (TL: I donât know where to put in the word âoverkillâ so I skipped it. If anyone has an idea, please tell me.)
âWell, a noble daughter wonât be able to work this happily at a small bakery right!â
âYeahâŚ!â
Iâm sorry I lied. But I donât think anyone will gain anything learning that I am a nobleâs daughter. Lies, depending on the situation, may be happier than the truth. Just like how the lie Lily-chan made allowed me to live a happy life now.
Now that the story has come to a conclusion, the store door opened. I quickly changed my face into the smiling face of a clerk and turned towards the person at the door.
