Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace
Chapter 74: The Case
"Rain sister, why are you heading to the harbor?
Asked by Tachiyoshi, Yu looks up at her neighbor.
"Tachiyoshi-sama, the port is dangerous when it looks like this.
To this, Tachiyoshi snorts.
"I'm a samurai, nothing like a rough accident.
But you'd better stay in the store.
Let's wait and see what happens before we pick you up. "
I disagree with this opinion, but Yu also disagrees.
"Engagement means there may be someone injured."
So they stopped and stared at each other for a while.
"... I can't help it, don't leave me."
Tachiyoshi, who saw that Yu sister wouldn't back down, broke.
So we went to the harbor together again.
The harbor was noisy.
"Are there no more ships?"
"There are people in the ocean, we have to pull them out!
Li Min-sama, you can leave!
With all sorts of anger echoing, Rain Sister stretches out and looks off the coast.
There was a big ship floating there, and I wanted a few medium-sized ships on it.
"Is that... a pirate?
This close to land?
Sister Yu twisted her neck as she murmured.
"Isn't that what you do in places where no one goes through?
Pirates seem to be at a disadvantage at such a short distance that backup can arrive.
"Injured man, back in the boat!
But with this word I heard, such a question blows up from Rain's sister.
"Yes! I'm good at caring!
Where are the wounded!? "
Rain sister raises her hand and screams, and nature breaks the crowd in front of her.
"I don't know who it is, but this way!
Tachiyoshi followed Yu as she rushed towards the voice she heard, saying "I can't help it."
There were several men who were bleeding aboard the rowing boat, and a man who was rowing the boat, being carried to the harbor.
"It's a shallow cut, but there's too much blood."
Tachiyoshi, who saw the injured person, said so next door.
Then it's dangerous if you don't heal the wound quickly and warm up your body.
"Excuse me, please give me some water for cooking.
It's not sea water!
And a clean cloth!
When Rain Sister screams like that, the water in the pan is delivered from a nearby stall.
Rain sister soaked the cotton cloth she had in the water and washed the wound.
By the way, carrying a cotton cloth with you is a habit of being able to wrap up your hair and wear a cloth mask at any time.
Eventually, when the delivered cloth is ripped and bandaged, Rain sister tightly ties the wound close to her heart.
"Do this until the blood stops and gently transport them to a place where they can calm down and change their wet clothes!
Oh, oh.
Rain sister's momentum led those who were called upon to carry the injured while confused.
"Who's the woman in charge? Although I can hear the voice, I can't say it directly because of the intimidation of my neighbor, Tachiyoshi.
I took care of them one after the other, and I killed all the injured.
"Hey, Ne-chan, you're good at this!
We're going to get the wounded and we're going out!
I was shouted from the top of a hand rowed boat that would have been used for fishing.
Yes!
"Hey, don't answer me on your own!
Tachiyoshi came with me whispering to Yu sister, who answered immediately.
So they embarked on the boat and went out into the sea.
"Help me!
Those who were desperately swimming as they screamed were taken to the boat one after the other.
Rain sister checks the condition of the person who has been lifted, and Tachiyoshi helps lift.
Tachiyoshi looked at the merchant ship while saving lives.
That's not a pirate.
Really?
Tachiyoshi explained to Yu who looked up and saw the merchant ship himself.
"There is too much control in the movement.
Those are more trained men. "
"Oh, you're saying the same thing as Li Min-sama, ni-chan."
In Tachiyoshi's words, the owner of the fishing boat said such a thing.
--Hee, do the same thing as Li Min-sama?
That makes it even more suspicious.
Sister Yu twists her neck to see what happens.
While I was talking about it, the boat was about to be booked, so I decided to turn back to the harbor.
Bashar!
I suddenly wondered if the water splash had risen, and the wet man was putting his hand on the boat.
"There's a woman, she's lucky!
The screaming man was apparently one of the mysterious pirates, swimming close.
"Hee, I'm chasing you!?"
The people who would have thought that they had finally been saved moved scared and managed to escape, so the boat swayed greatly.
"Wow...."
--Fall, fall, so stay still!?
When Yu sister hurriedly clings to the edge of the ship, she grabs the hand that stretches out from the sea.
"Uhih!?"
Apparently there were still people in the ocean.
"It's a woman, it's a little plain, but it must be a woman."
--That's plain!?
The plain face is true, but it makes me angry when others tell me to face it.
Something passed by beside her face and threw the man into the sea.
"Don't touch me, you bastard."
It was Tachiyoshi's foot.
A short bladed sword is held in his hand.
Tachiyoshi usually had a longer sword, but he wore it this time because it was hard to handle in a crowded place.
