Zukin: Ah, Forename, the very man/woman I was seeking. There is a task I would have you perform in the name of trade relations.

Zukin: Take these live ruby shrimp and release them along the shore of Sakazuki. This will lure out tatsunoko, whose roe you may then harvest.

Zukin: Once you have the roe, pray deliver it to the cook at the Ruby Price. He will know what to do with it. My thanks in advance, Forename.

Ruby Price Cook: Looking for the cook? You've found him. What is it you require?

Ruby Price Cook: Oho, if this isn't tatsunoko roe, and some of the freshest I've seen! Compliments of Zukin, you say? Well, how thoughtful of him!

Ruby Price Cook: In case you didn't know, tatsunoko roe is a rare delicacy. I'll be able to prepare such a treat for our troops as they seldom enjoy! Now, such kindness shouldn't go unacknowledged...

Ruby Price Cook: One of the finest wines I have in my stores. Please give it to Zukin along with my regards. And with that, I take my leave─I have a feast to prepare!

Zukin: ...Our gift was so well received that we received one in return? Wonderful!

Zukin: <sniff> Ah, this is truly a fine rice wine. We've not the means to brew our own, so it is doubly appreciated. My thanks for handling the task, Forename.

Zukin: Ever since we began trading with Kokajiya, travel to Kugane has become a regularity. This in turn led to more opportunities for contact with the Ruby Price.

Zukin: For now, the fortification serves simply as a convenient waypoint, but ere long it will become a destination in its own right. Our efforts to establish new trade channels continue to flourish, and we owe no small part of our success to you.
