When I became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Chapter 12

Age 14 part 3 The first thing I noticed was a strange smell. When I got off the carriage, I instinctively wanted to pinch my nose. Of course, I didn’t want to do something so rude. I wanted to use Clean spell. I didn’t have enough magic to cast it over the whole area, so I had to endure it. When Barrett stood in front of a house, he knocked. My real family was inside this house. My heart pounded. I was meeting my family for the first time. Would my real mother embrace me and cry like it happened with Annette? The door was opened by a boy with chestnut hair and chestnut eyes, about the same height as me. He was my brother. I could definitely feel the blood connection. "This is your brother, Mal. He’s twelve years old and the eldest son," Clue informed me quietly. As I was feeling emotional about meeting my sibling, Mal glared at me. Well, it’s understandable. I’m replacing the sister he loved. It can’t be helped but I feel a little down. "May we come in?" He opened t...

I Wish to Be a Receptionist of The Magic World Chapter 21

Haare Employment Arc 5-6 After being made to change to a pure white gown by the Duke's three servants, I was taken to the King's island in a silver carriage. I hadn't been to the King's island in six months and didn't visit often, so despite the heavy white dress weighing me down and the peculiar circumstances, I felt a flutter of excitement. The view of the island from above was as beautiful as ever, and while the scenery was splendid when I rode on Lala, it wasn't bad to enjoy it from the carriage. But as the castle came into view, my excitement quickly waned, replaced by a sense of heaviness. It felt like a punishment game. I wanted to turn around and jump out immediately. Perhaps livestock being shipped off felt the same way. I sighed, resting my chin on my hand. "There will be no problem if you enter the castle with me. They might check your body or magic briefly, but it will be quick." Seeing my anxious expression in the carriage, the Duke reassu...

When I became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Chapter 11

Age 14 part 2 I waited after my family left. I waited, believing that my brother would come to get me. Although people passed by, they seemed to sense something and didn't speak to me. They just passed by at a distance. "The autumn wind is cold; it'd be awful if you catch a cold. How about we find a room in a hotel?" Clew, being a fairy, shouldn't feel the cold, yet he was rubbing his arms. There was a time when Clue suggested putting my remaining pocket money and important things into a space created by his spatial magic. Knowing how whimsical fairies could be, I hesitated a bit. But seeing Clew's serious look, I decided to trust him. So, I wasn’t penniless. Clew, having shrunk them down, had also put in dresses I was going to discard, thinking it would be a waste to leave them. I had also given him the cooking utensils and ingredients I was struggling to store. Although I was reluctant at first, I found Clew's spatial magic, which also froze time, to be ...

When I became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Chapter 10

Age 14 part 1 When I turned fourteen, I took the entrance exam for Manches Academy, attended by most nobles of this country. At this academy, I would learn various things and magic that I couldn't get from a private tutor. It is also open to commoners, and talented students could enroll as scholarship students with tuition fee waivers. On the day of the results announcement, there was buzzing and excitement from the morning itself. Even though it was just to see the results, my busy parents and brother joined me for breakfast. For some reason, they also decided to come with me to see the results. I was so happy that I felt like I was floating. Although Clew had gone out somewhere since the morning and wasn't there, I thought he might be hanging back since my parents and brother were with me. Perhaps I should have realized something was wrong at that moment. Because I knew the truth. That I wasn't really part of this family. But I naively thought there was still time. I want...

When I became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Chapter 9

  "Clew, isn't it delicious?" "Yeah, this udon is outstanding. It's smooth and goes down well." I asked Clew to sample the dishes Sarah had taught me to make. Surprisingly, he seems to be a bit of a gourmet, knowledgeable about cuisines from various countries. I wonder where Sarah's from, since her cooking impresses even him. "You'll be fourteen soon. It's been a year since then. You know it's almost time, right?" "Yes, I know. But I just can't say it." "It's better to tell them before they find out the worst way. You are a victim too, so they'll be understanding." Am I a victim too? I suppose so, but will they believe me? The story of a changeling fairy is too far-fetched. Swapping a noble's daughter with a commoner's daughter is something a fairy would do. "If I become a commoner, I won't be able to see Ed anymore." "They might take you in as their adopted daughter." ...

When I became a Commoner, They Broke Off Our Engagement! Chapter 8

"Today's meal is delicious as well. This noodle is unique. It's the first time I've had such chewy noodles." Edmond said. As Edmond mentioned, the only noodles eaten in this country are spaghetti. What I made today is called udon , a dish from Sara's homeland. Sara taught me how to make udon while I was learning to bake bread using body enhancement magic. Making udon noodles requires quite a bit of strength, so Sara couldn't make them herself even if she wanted. At that time, I made the noodles while Sara prepared the udon soup. Sara was moved to tears by the taste of her homeland's udon, which she hadn't had in a long time. "This is a dish called udon from a foreign country. It hasn't been introduced here yet." "I see. It's a shame since it seems very filling. By the way, Anna, you make a lot of unusual dishes." "My cooking teacher is excellent. I've also learned to make more types of sweets, but since you sai...
