Kurobana vs. Gyorin

is a Quest in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn.
==Journal==
* Kurobana has steadily been gaining the villagers' trust by continuing to pluck weeds and examine the local paddies. However, he is concerned that Namai would be defenseless should another creature attack. You tell Kurobana that Gyorin has been trying to sell some imperial weapons of late and agree to introduce him to the Namazu merchant.
* Kurobana is impressed by Gyorin's wares and makes it clear he would like to buy them. Unfortunately, the Namazu merchant believes the guns to be worth quite a lot─enough gil to live comfortably for a decade being his valuation. Shirojishi then appears claiming the village is under attack. While Kurobana has said he cannot afford to pay Gyorin's prices, Hayabusa asks if they can borrow the guns to protect Namai. You convince Gyorin to let the villagers take the guns and negotiate some form of payment later.
* Gyorin, unsure as to whether he can trust the villagers, asks you to go with him to Namai. He wishes to collect his payment as soon as they have slain the creatures threatening their paddies.
* Hayabusa cannot stop enthusing about how skillfully Kurobana slayed the two penghou with an imperial firearm. Gyorin then arrives on the scene, keen to get down to business.
* Just as it is starting to look like the deal is not going to happen, a pile of nearby persimmons catches Gyorin's eye. He is all too eager to create a dye with them which he would use to make his own unique apron. Kurobana is somewhat confused by the merchant's thought process, but agrees to trade him one hundred persimmons in exchange for the imperial weaponry.
==Objectives==

Kurobana 	Ah, [Player Name], how goes your journey?
Kurobana 	I have been keeping myself busy plucking weeds and checking people's paddies. Slowly but surely I feel that the villagers are beginning to warm to me.
Kurobana 	However, there is one issue that has been worrying me of late: what to do if another beast appears seeking to harm our way of life. We can hardly continue relying on your aid.
Kurobana 	There are a few in the village that have experience fighting, but even they cannot do much without proper weapons. There is a limit to how effective farming tools can be in battle.
Kurobana 	A Namazu that sells imperial weapons? Hmm, that could be worth investigating.
Kurobana 	Would you be so kind as to introduce us? I shall bring Hayabusa along as well. You said the Namazu lives in Yuzuka Manor, yes? We will meet you there.
Kurobana 	You said the Namazu lives in Yuzuka Manor, yes? Hayabusa and I will meet you there.
 	
Gyorin 	Why, [Player Name]. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Gyorin 	I am most definitely still in possession of the weapons, yes, yes. I put them in storage as no one seemed even slightly interested in purchasing them.
Gyorin 	I tried selling them in Doma, but my efforts were met with great displeasure. They said my actions insulted their honor, that they never wanted to see imperial weapons again.
Gyorin 	Even Gyofu has attested to the quality of the weaponry. No, no, I do not know why I struggle to sell them.
Kurobana 	I had heard rumors of this place, but I never imagined there were so many Namazu living here.
Gyorin 	Welcome, valued guests! Could I interest you in any of my wares?
Kurobana 	We are searching for a Namazu selling imperial weapons.
Gyorin 	Well, you are in luck for that is me! I shall bring the goods to you right this moment.
Kurobana 	Imperial guns... Even those in Namai that cannot handle a spear or a sword may be able to use these.
Gyorin 	Indeed, indeed! You seem like a Lupin who knows a bargain when he sees one.
Kurobana 	We will take them. Name your price.
Gyorin 	Enough gil to live comfortably for a decade or so should suffice.
Kurobana 	Have you lost your mind!?
Shirojishi 	Kurobana, Hayabusa, the village is in trouble!
Shirojishi 	More of those creatures have appeared and they're ruining our paddies!
Kurobana 	What!?
Hayabusa 	May we borrow these weapons first and negotiate payment later? The village cannot wait!
Gyorin 	I do hope you are not trying to trick me.
Gyorin 	You speak the truth, yes, yes?
Gyorin 	But of course! If you use them first, you can admire their qualities and be convinced to purchase them. You are a fine merchant, [Player Name]!
Gyorin 	If you are friends of [Player Name] then you have my trust. I will receive payment once you are done!
Kurobana 	My thanks. Let us hurry back to the village!
Gyorin 	Please make sure they do pay me. I only lent them the weapons because you introduced them to me.
Gyorin 	In fact, let us both go to Namai to make certain that this deal reaches a satisfactory conclusion.
Kurobana 	Did I truly just do that?
 	
Hayabusa 	Ah, adventurer! You will not believe this.
Hayabusa 	Our very own Kurobana slayed these foul beasts.
Hayabusa 	He is truly a natural with a rifle. It was as if I was watching a veteran hunter!
Hayabusa 	I am sure he is good enough to protect the village if he is equipped with the right gun. In time, he may even become just as effective as his brother!
Kurobana 	My instincts took control of me... I'm honestly not entirely sure what I just did.
Kurobana 	But perhaps you are right. With practice, I might be able to fill the role my brother used to serve.
 	
Gyorin 	Wh-What are these creatures!?
Kurobana 	Ah, merchant. Your weapons were exactly what we needed. The penghou never stood a chance.
Gyorin 	I am most glad to hear that you found my wares to your liking.
Gyorin 	Now, now, let us talk business by the Tenkonto.
Kurobana 	I asked Fukudo to join us to help haggle with your merchant friend. I do hope we are able to get the weapons for a fair price. They may be my only hope of living up to my brother's legacy.
Hayabusa 	With the right weapon, Kurobana may prove to be just as capable as Hakuro in a fight.
 	
Gyorin 	You were saying that you cannot give me enough gil to live on for ten years, yes, yes?
Gyorin 	In that case, why don't you try offering me something else of equal value?
Kurobana 	I fear that we may struggle to find anything you would consider to be worth that much in Namai...
Gyorin 	I risked my life to obtain these guns. It is only fair I receive something substantial for them.
Kurobana 	Could you allow us some time to think?
Gyorin 	If that is truly what you require.
Gyorin 	But pray tell me, just what are those?
Fukudo 	Well, they are persimmons. Are you not familiar with the fruit?
Gyorin 	If I were to use those to make an orange dye I could create a magnificent apron that is mine and mine alone!
Gyorin 	How about you trade me one hundred persimmons for the weapons?
Kurobana 	Is that truly enough for you?
Gyorin 	Yes, yes! Do you agree to my proposal?
Kurobana 	Well, yes. I suppose we do.
Gyorin 	[Player Name], thank you oh so very very much! These people have given me something of great value and it was you who introduced them to me!
