Their philosophical discussion left by the wayside, Tamamo was left to begin her discussion with the Nure-onna selling the food they both seemed to be interested in. She was soon told exactly what this delicious smelling thing was and given a price for each item to be purchased. Strangely, the number given seemed to be outrageous. Tamamo's face shifted slightly as she leaned over Giyu's shoulder looking at this woman and mentally processing this new amount of money she mentioned. "Yatagarasu? The three-legged bird? Those are its eggs?!" she said seemingly surprised. She supposed she'd eaten more than her fair share of strange food so that wouldn't be so bad, still the amount of money she asked for left a lot to be desired.

Ashikaga Kimiko had traveled quite a bit in her life, but never had she come across such a specific amount of currency. The idea that something should cost 2.4 million of anything was a bit outlandish to her, even as someone who paid ridiculously high costs for nice things all the time. What was more this felt kind of familiar like a conversation or two she'd had with her father as a younger child. 'Well, there was that one time, Daddy and I were in Arabia and he told me the price of something but it was basically pennies to the dollar back home. Actually, I did a lot of math problems like that too...' she thought giving it a bit of consideration. Still this type of money hadn't come up in her current set of studies, so perhaps it was outside her current sphere of understanding. There was nothing she disliked more in life than not understanding money, as such she removed herself from the back of the lad she leaned over finding herself standing directly in front of this stall. Tamamo's golden eyes became intense a glare was present, but there was also the light of learning behind, she didn't ask a direct question, but instead for information so she could find her own answers. "What's the exchange rate with the lower kingdoms?" she asked rather directly. Whether the woman behind the counter told the truth or not, surely she wasn't the only person who'd been encountered who'd come from below. Most merchants would have to maintain some form of active exchange or it wouldn't really make sense. A single piece of information like that would be all the lass needed to know to convert mon into the kind of money she had in excess. The annoyance of such a thing, was why Kimiko enjoyed visiting Europe, with their unified monetary system. And why she'd worked to convert Atlantis immediately to the kind of money she liked handling... this kind of thing was always problematic initially. Still, something about this sort of exchange always made her heart race with untold excitement.
