Business was going smoothly, true it kinda sucked to not have one of my eyes and now one of my hearing, but it was only for a month, and by then I could travel to the next world if I wanted to.
It was only expected that word of me had spread, though it kinda wasn't practical to lend out my senses considering the time I don't have them and the limited amount I am willing to give.
So I exploited my ability, like I have thought before I didn't need to make use the things I traded for, I can store them in the contract itself that I create when I use my power.
So why not take diseases for monetary payment?
He honestly tried to go further and try to take their concept of "damaged" or some shit, but apparently that is reaching too far, I have to be able to take something that physically exists, and not conceptually.
I can't just take someone's concept of death, but emotions are possible, I can't take away your bindings to gravity, because it isn't yours in the first place.
It's a little tricky stuff, in theory someone like King Hassan from Fate could give me his concept of death because he in a way owns it.
Typical every day humans don't own concepts, so he had to make due with what he had.
The entire week, it was him going around trading between money, lifespan, and other's senses, and was honestly feeling like he was some sort of supernatural merchant.
Though I can't seem to figure out what world I'm in, unless I'm in the wrong time period? Knowing many worlds and knowing infinitely less I was stuck in a predicament.
So I expanded, after getting the knowledge of the surrounding villages around the area, I spend time traveling to various places, I honestly don't know what I am going to do with all the various diseases I have in stock.
There isn't someone who wants to be sick….maybe I can in some way make it that the buyer can make someone else sick? As some sort of revenge shit or other.
That was currently my best bet as I don't recall a world that has a character that is now alive that would like diseases, maybe torturers, but hell if he is going near them.
Honestly, doing trading with people is a amusing task that I do joyfully in my boring routine, as any other time I'm either asleep, eating, or doing nothing.
Though I suppose that isn't a surprise since that's the only human company I actually actively talk to, any other time when he is buying food from the Japanese folks or walking by them he is simply exchanging small talk.
Today however…had a different and interesting result.
I went to a village around Mt. Kumotori, where as usually I would find people at the alley way to do trading with,…only for the man to instantly kneel before me.
"Please! Wanderer, I am not in need of any of your services…but there is a man in the mountains who has been sick for a long time, he and his family are kind beyond belief, and have been selling coal for generations without fail, but I'm afraid sickness would take him any day now, so please!, don't do service with me but for the poor family who are on a verge to losing their father and husband," the man begged, not once lifting his head from the ground.
I kinda just stood there…at this interesting action the man is doing, sure there were others I approached that others recognized me and either had respect, awe, or extreme wariness for me.
But this was new, it has only been 2 and a half weeks since he had arrived, was that enough for all the villages to hear of me? Well these guys were of west of Tokyo, so it wouldn't be a stretch for them to hear of me at least.
Especially since he was pretty much the only one to wear a hooded black cloak, and much to my embarrassment, carried a big walking stick to make myself seem more mystical.
"Very well, good sir, where are they? Who is the man that you implore me to seek and trade with? What is his name," I spoke in my merchant tone, never really dropping it, it sorta became a habit.
The man finally lifted his head up, "my name is Urakata, they live up in the mountains, it was their ancestral home for generations, please if anyone is deserving of getting healed it would be them, the man Kamado Tanjuro,".
