"Mm."
"You can't go back on your word."
"Then give me... a good price."
Taotie stuck out its tongue, swallowed the staff into its mouth, and narrowed its eyes as it gave its assessment:
"The outer layer was cold and crisp like moonlight, and moon honey flowed out with the first bite. Chew it carefully, and there was a hint of bitterness. Mmm... so it was water from the River Styx, gathering all the suffering in the world. Yet it appeared at just the right moment, balancing out that cloying sweetness. What an unforgettable taste."
It held up three claws.
"1.2 million!"
Kazuma Satou rubbed his hands together.
"Big Brother Taotie, aren't you holding up three fingers?"
Taotie glanced at its tiny eyes, wiggled its three little claws, and smiled until its eyes became slits.
"Hahahaha! Moonlight shone upon the divine delicacy, and how many times in the world could one ever smell such a thing? Fine, fine, 1.3 million it is!"

Kazuma Satou looked at everyone, then at the red spear.
"Let's keep this spear... What do you all think?"
"Not bad!" "Good." "I think that's a pretty good idea!"
Approved by all.
"OK!"
Kazuma Satou looked up at Di Tian and asked:
"Can we put it on display... right here in the hall?"
Di Tian opened his eyes.
"That's not for me to decide. You'll have to ask Senior Brother Su."
"Sure."
A voice came from outside the door.
Beside the pillar next to Kazuma Satou,
A Five-Clawed Golden Dragon extended its claws from within the pillar, forming a rack.
He stepped forward and placed Gae Bolg onto it, while four dragon claws closed around it and secured it in place.
