In A Storehouse—Seki, Saku, and Aoi

“So as you can see, Mahati is most well known for its sugar, its spices, its tea, and its paper. I’ve heard that tea and paper are both produced widely in the Beastland Kingdom, so in terms of trade you’ll be focusing on sugar and spices.”

“You can sell sugar on its sweetness alone, but people who aren’t used to spices can sometimes find their scents off-putting. With that in mind, it might be best to push their medicinal benefits over their flavors. You can tell people that they warm the body by improving blood flow, that they help keep meat from going bad, and that they help ward off illness. It might be important to take that angle first, at least until people get more used to the strong flavors and aromas.”

Ellie was taking some time to teach the lostblood brothers about Mahati. All three of the brothers sat up straight, none saying a word as they listened intently.

“It’s important to have knowledge of all of our products,” Ellie continued. “The world isn’t so kind that you can just buy goods and sell them just as easily. You have to look at where something comes from, then explain that the price reflects where and how it was made. You can go on to describe how the quality is excellent because of how the production method differs from other regions. On top of that, any good merchant knows how to negotiate by observing their customer and determining their personality, how much they have to spend, and what they have in mind.”

“For papa and his family, this trip is a holiday, but for us we’re going to be looking at all the things I told you about and making inroads with all the merchants you’ll be working with. So please don’t forget that this is a very important job you’ll all be doing. Anyway, it’s almost time we headed off, so I’ll explain all the rest in the wagon.”

Her lecture finished, Ellie left the storehouse, and the brothers all let out sighs and relaxed.

“Another lecture in the wagon, huh?” chuckled Seki. “Sister Ellie made it this far all on her own, so we’re all really lucky she’s teaching us everything she knows.”

Saku nodded and looked off distantly towards the west.

“Mother tried to ensure we’d live without inconveniences, and she gave us food, clothing, and shelter, but even then we were looked down upon the moment we left the house. Everybody criticized or doubted what we did, and it never felt like we were enough...but there’s none of that here. Everyone treats us like we’re one of them, and they’re as good to us as they would be to anyone else. They even share knowledge with us. That, and they’re as strict with us as they would be with their own family.”

“Yeah, that’s true,” said Aoi, finally speaking up a little hesitantly. “They’re nice enough to feed us delicious food and even give us our own homes. But it’s just as harsh here as it was there.
