Diary of a salesman

Diary of Kyou Hiroko.

Wednesday 03-09-817.

Today the family was given shipment of food-stuffs by Superior-Keiretsu-Samura to sell to passing trade in New Tokyo. Food stuffs were brought in from the plains of Kyushu and the Fisheries of Juno. The family loaded the food stuffs aboard our Drone of the Golden Hive, the Uraraka Uri, ship of my father and his father before him.

Before we left for New Tokyo, Masarao-san told us philosophy. Standing amid the cherry blossom of his garden, Masarao say, "Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes." The Kyou family takes heed of Masurao's wisdom.

We flew to New Tokyo and began to sell the wares of the Superior-Keiretsu-Samura, although passing trade was slow. Several filthy Gajin traders placed orders, then did not return to collect them. The tour guide, Mak-san purchased a great variety of food stuffs however, and I was able to sell him the Seven Seasons of Rice packs from Kyushu and the Sumptuous Sushi pack from Juno. We earned $1600, although Mak-san gave us a large tip to bring our earnings to $3000!

Of the $1600, Superior-Keiretsu-Samura took a 40% share. Not long later I ran into a Farmer-san outside Shinjuku Station, where I attempted to tempt him into buying the produce on sale. Farmer-san had already tried the Seven Seasons of Rice, the Sumptuous Sushi and even rarities such as the Juno Blowish and Orange Sea Cucumber!

With a heavy heart I resorted to Superior-Keiretsu-Samura's secret weapon! The Twelve Moon Rice! Even the wise-and-well-traveled Farmer-san had not had the opportunity to sample such a food stuff, such as it's rarity was. However, just as I was about to make the sale, another filthy Gajin trader raced past carrying all manner of dishonourable cargo, causing the Farmer-san to rush after him.

After that, business was slow, so we refueled on Shinjuku and headed back towards home planet Kyushu.

Much future prosperity to the Superior-Keiretsu-Samura!
