Rocking the Ship

After arriving back at the lord's main island, Hikari was given a hefty sum of gold. Now she stood on the docks in front of her vessel, awaiting for her departure. Lord Vuldragon was there to see her off.

"I'll never forget everything you've done for me and my people. If you ever need anything, just call upon me, and I will be there to help." The lord looked over at her large wooden ship. "I didn't expect you to have your own ship as well. So you were the ship that everyone's been talking about?"

Hikari looked behind her at her ship. "What's so strange about my ship?"

"For one thing, the banners are strange. Also, we don't really have any ships that look like this one. Moreover, your entire crew is composed of maids. I had to tell my men to behave themselves."

Hikari chuckled. "I'm sorry for the trouble."

The man waved his arms. "No, it's like you said before. I was just pulling your leg. Hahahaha!"
