I quote a steep price. Still, I never send away someone who truly can't afford it.

I said no more credit. That wasn't aimed at that particular customer.

HazukiEveryone knows exactly who that was for, so why bother.
AyameGood, you know. Now buy some paper.
MorichikaSo it was about me.
AyameYou've got money.
MorichikaThat's the part that stings the most.

There's a customer who won't trade in his chipped inkstone for a new one. A hand like that knows good paper when it sees it.

YorifusaAn inkstone only gets a hollow for the ink to pool once it's chipped.
AyameSay things like that, old man, and I can't give you a discount.
ChisatoI wash that inkstone myself! I go gentle on the chipped part with my nail!
AyamePut that much care into paying off your tab.

Left elsewhere

Every night you bet on the boring side, my shop sells the most paper.

You haggle every single time in my shop.

That room's paper is the cheapest stock in my shop. Don't go loving it, you'll get attached.
