My Beloved Dog is the Strongest in Another World-Chapter 816

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.

After some debate, I realized just how difficult the whole process was.

It did make me long for a normal house even more…

Regardless, once that matter was settled, we talked about housing for the employees.

While the servants would generally live in the same house, it would be different for the other workers.

We didn’t know how many there would be yet. But for now, we would construct a separate building next to the house for them.

It would have its own kitchens and bathing space, with rooms of similar sizes.

As we talked, another butler drew the plans on some paper. It turned out to be like an apartment.

“Also… This is just a thought, and it doesn’t have to be, but…”

“What is it?”

The house would be three stories, with our bedrooms on the second floor. The guest rooms were on the first floor, while the servants were on the first and second. The offices and work rooms would be on the third floor.

“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…”
