Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace

”Ng, yes?”

Yu Mei swallowed the dumplings and replied, and Yang [Yang] pointed to the door.

There's someone out there calling for you.

I see, you got the call.

“Okay, I'll be right there.”

Isn't it Tachibin [Libin] or something like that?

When Rain's sister told her that, Mina [Maina] guessed who she was calling.

- Maybe so.

When Rain's sister thought the same thing and went out, there was still Tachibin there.

Tachibin-sama, you must be busy. What's the matter?

When Rain's sister asked, Tachibin offered her hand.

"I just came to give you this deposit."

What was in Tachibin's hand was eight pieces of money with a hole in the middle, connected by a red string.

When she saw it, Rain's sister thought of the identity of the money and blinked her eyes.

"Could this be a penny?"

Will you give it to me? "

"Yes, it is."

Confirmed by her own doubts, Yu's sister said, "Oh!" I'm impressed.

- It's the first time I've seen it!

In the previous life, there was a culture called "old age", but there are similar things in this country.

It is given to the child in the sense of an amulet, but it is wrapped in red paper or connected with a red string like this.

You're no longer the age of a child, but you're a talisman.

Even though Tachibin said so, Yu-san said, "Wow!” Cheers.

“Thank you, it's my first time!”

Some people say, "I'm an adult woman!" She might be angry, but Rainy was honestly glad.

Perhaps it was the prince who prepared it, but he was quite a fool.

However, Rain's reaction seemed surprising to Tachibin.

"... is this your first time?"

Tachibin's expression, illuminated by the red lights of the lanterns, was reluctant.

- Yeah, do you care?

Rain-sister spoke purely of the facts, but she could certainly have said that this was a "poor child".

I'm sure his brain is producing unhappy stories, but I think the assumptions about this are probably different.

"Because in the first place, there were only a few people with money in the periphery, so it's not something I would give my child like this."

Oh, I see.

Tachibin's face turned pleasant.

In the first place, there was a shortage of various things in the periphery, so the preparation for the Chinese New Year was also simple.

At the very least, they don't decorate red lanterns like this.

At best, I put a simple Spring Alliance on it.

“But I'm glad, I'm going to put this under my pillow and go to sleep today!”

"... I hope I can have a good dream."

Tachibin smiles as she looks at Rainy's sister.

If you think it is childish, you can think about it. It is good because I am happy.

Well, I'm going now.

Tachibin seems to be busy after all, so she seems to be leaving without a cup of tea.

I would be grateful to Shi Tachibin for coming to deliver in such a time.

Even if she didn't bother to deliver it in time for New Year's Eve, Rain's sister didn't complain.

- You're a good man.

Happy New Year, Tachibin-sama!

"May your New Year be a happy one."

When Rain's sister greeted her on New Year's Eve, Tachibin returned.

Then, when Rain saw that Tachibin was leaving on an early walk, her sister saw her off.

"I'll eat noodles, sister!"

Ah yes, I'm coming!

When she heard Mina's voice, Yu-san went back to the cafeteria.
