Cold Fish Page #5

---

Any venture requires an initial investment.

Amazon Gold has a page ad in

the monthly Friends of Fish.

It'll yield profit in no time.

Look at this, Mr. Yoshida.

We have a full-page color ad

on the back of every issue.

Only Amazon Gold runs such a campaign.

But I'm concerned about the price, Skipper.

You saw our Guo bei jin long,

didn't you?

But I've heard that

the most expensive fish are

about a million yen.

Who told you that nonsense?

A fish expert I know.

Well, this is business after all...

What's so funny?

What is it?

See if your fish expert can get me

a top rate Guo bei jin long!

I'll buy it!

Forget it.

You know where the door is.

If we kept talking we'd just

end up offending each other.

Hey, hold on!

It's all my fault.

I'm terribly sorry.

From now on, it will just be me

and Mr. Shamoto, right?

You know I didn't mean

to offend you, Skipper!

No offence.

Mr. Murata, Mr. Yoshida

didn't mean to upset you.

You don't have to sulk.

Excuse me.

Mr. Murata, can I speak with you?

Okay.

Excuse us.

Sit down please. Go on...

Mr. Murata, I only came here to talk.

I haven't decided anything yet.

I see.

It's all too fast for me.

Mr. Shamoto, I'm sure

this is all unexpected.

Things are a bit complicated...

I'll explain it to you later.

You don't have to say anything at all.

Mr. Yoshida has no idea about fish.

It's natural that he feels nervous.

Having an expert like

you involved reassures him.

I know how he feels. I knew nothing

about a 10-million investment.

You won't have to put in money.

Mr. Yoshida and I will pay it.

Mr. Yoshida came here with the cash.

He needs to feel secure

before he hands over the cash.

Is that why I'm here?

No.

I asked you to join us

so you can take care of the fish.

I'll explain later.

Just trust me on this.

Let's go in so Mr. Yoshida

doesn't worry.

Would the fish really sell for

Of course!

You don't know how superior this breed is.

Shall we go back?

Your seal of approval here.

So you've made up your mind,

Mr. Yoshida!

I'm sorry I upset you.

Don't mention it.

Thank you, Mr. Shamoto.

Your presence relaxed me.

Thank you so much.

How are you all doing?

Mr. Yoshida, let's have a break

and drink this.

OK, thank you.

This is delicious!

Darling, can I borrow Mr. Shamoto

so he can meet Mitsuko?

Sorry! I forgot.

Mr. Shamoto, go and see her.

I'll call you when you're needed.

Okay.

You won't believe how different

she is already!

Excuse me.

He's a very good man.

He sure is!

He sure is!

I see that you only hire girls...

They all come from troubled

backgrounds.

We hope to help them

readjust to society.

Mitsuko.

Your father's here.
