Takeru when he's shopping and has to pay himself

"Hmmmmm..." *Comparing two items that serve for the same thing* "HMMMMMMMMM!..."

This one is better quality but is more expensive, while this one is slightly worse in quality but is cheaper

"Hmmmmm..."

... I guess I'll go have a look at other stores to find one that's not too expensive but has good quality too

*Leaves the store he's inside in hope of finding what he wants at a good price and quality*

Takeru when he's eating out by himself

*Looking at the menu* <Most of these are so expensive!>

"Welcome, dear customer. Are you ready to order? If so I recommend our salmon"

Salmon, huh?... Nope, it's too expensive

"Yes, I'm ready to order. I would like an omelet and a soda, please"

"Very well, I'll bring your order soon"

"Thanks"

Takeru When he's shopping and one of his siblings is paying for him

"This amethyst crystal is small, but a beautiful shine to it. It would be a shame not to buy it"

"Okay..."

"Painting a bonsai on the wet glaze before glazing it? Fascinating. The paint cannot be felt, but its colors in forever retained. Such genius – it would be a pity not to purchase this

"Yes..."

"Geodes are itself hard to gather. It must have taken true skill indeed to unearth two pieces so alike. We should buy them"

"Yeah... ... ... So it's an amethyst crystal... Porcelain... A pair of geodes... And a small candy for me..."

Fine Amethyst crystal: 190.000 yen

Artisan porcelain: 21.000 yen

Pair of geodes: 152.000 yen

Lemon candy as a gift for the sister: 200 yen

Items he never needed, but would buy just to make his sister's wallet turn empty

Takeru When he's eating out and one of his siblings is paying for him

"When this chef is cooking, it would be far more appealing to go to this restaurant, as opposed to that one or that other one"

"I'm fine with anything as long as it's good... But do they only have cutlery?"

"You need to be adept with cutlery if you to truly appreciate Western gastronomy"

"Mr. Tanaka, we have spring valley boar on the menu today – would you like it instead of the sauced pork chops?"

"We'll have both"

In accordance with western customs, they gave the chef a tip for her amazing new dish

Restaurant set meal for two: 4.000 yen

As-yet-unnamed Spring valley boar dish: 1.000 yen

Set of classical-patterned cutlery set (hopefully the eldest son of the Tanaka family will practice using them): 128.000 yen
