You decide to take the chance to purchase some supplies, just in case. You already had ten (10) rupees before, and with the gift from your grandmother this morning, you are now up to a full thirty (30)! That should be enough to afford some last minute provisions.
It's a short, easy stroll, and you pass a few stalls selling fruit, or fish, or simple tools of bamboo and stone. Eventually, you approach the single story merchant's hut, which serves as the main general store for your village. Stepping inside, you see shelves and tables laden with multi-colored bottles, clothing, and equipment. Behind the counter on the opposite side of the room stands <span class="mu-s">Shishu</span>, the proprietor. He's a particularly old, weary specimen of Sheikah, and also quite worldly. His boots, overalls, and striped hat are quite unlike anything found around <span class="mu-s">Kakariko Atoll</span>, and you've heard tell that his bandaged hands have counted rupees from the <span class="mu-s">Lost Marsh</span> all the way to the <span class="mu-s">Gerudo Crater</span>, and many places in between.
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">"Ayoy!"</span></span>
He greets you as you draw nearer. His long, droopy mustache can't fully conceal his soft smile. <span class="mu-g">"Hey there <span class="mu-s">Zuzo</span>, let me guess, you got yourself some rupees for your birthday and they're burnin' a hole in your pocket, eh?"</span>
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">"EYHEHEHEE!"</span></span>
The old man cackles at his own observation. <span class="mu-g">"That's just swell, I say. You haven't set out for <span class="mu-s">Catacomb Island</span> yet, eh? Smart of you to consider making some last minute preparations. Why don't you have a look see at what it is I'm selling today. Just got me a shipment in from the <span class="mu-s">mainland</span>, I got a sweet deal having it brought in on the <span class="mu-s">secret ship</span> they built over on <span class="mu-s">Ironclad Island</span>. My <span class="mu-s">empty crates and barrels</span> get loaded on over at the pier in the middle of the night, I pay them a fee, and when the containers come back, they're loaded with all kinds of great stuff from my old buddies far and wide!"</span>
<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">"EYHEHEHEE!"</span></span>
<span class="mu-s">Shishu</span> erupts into another bout of cackling at that, seemingly tickled by his arrangement with the <span class="mu-s">secret ship</span>. He gestures to the shelf behind him. <span class="mu-g">"Anyways, have yourself a look see, my boy!"</span>
