"Haha, don't you still have those new square ships? These small merchant ships, sell them to me just like last time! Twenty jin of gold for each!"
"Chief! This... these are my last three merchant ships..."
"Sen, come on, sell me two ships! I'll add another ten jin! Fifty jin of gold for two ships, cash on delivery!"
"Buddha! Fifty jin of gold?!..."
Facing such a "sincere" price increase, Mori no Kiyoshi trembled all over, and his expression changed. He opened his mouth, and the words of refusal reached his lips, but he couldn't utter them. At that moment, he didn't seem like a seasoned merchant from Kansai, but like an indecisive lady who had never left home. After a while, looking at the "earnest-faced" Golden Chief, he let out a long sigh with a complex expression.
"Alas! Chief, my friend... I can only sell you one ship, and it's not even a good one... do you still want it?"
