Tatagi Valji stood up, speaking to the Bikini People [Kakector], "Mr. Kakector, you have never consulted with me about these matters before. You want to gift our family's assets to others, to curry favor with them. I would like to know whether you asked me!"
He had lived for most of his life, witnessing all kinds of deceptions on Cross Island, yet he never expected that one day, such misfortune would befall his own head.
The Bikini People [Kakector] didn't respond to him, but instead continued to brew his own tea. "These tea leaves are all rare items from the East. The Republic of Belisarius, Aristocratic Commercial Republic, and Florcana Republic all want to dominate the tea trade, and even want to find the source of tea production, but they set out eastwards and were hindered by the nations that worship the God of All Beasts, so they never found the place where tea leaves were produced."
