Since Cocoa helps out at Chino’s house where she’s saying, she considers the situation if she were instead staying with Chiya.

ココア:
「私(わたし)の下宿(げしゅく)先(さき)が千夜(ちや)ちゃんの家(いえ)だったらここでお手伝(てつだ)いさせてもらったんだろうなー」
“If my lodging was at Chiya's house, I wonder if I'd be made to help out here.”
Literal: “If my lodging place had been Chiya's house, I suppose I would have been allowed to help out here.”
