## Summary

Tatsu runs a stall at a flea market where one of two ladies ask him how much a purse is. Being his unintentional menacing self, Tatsu claims they're 100% handmade and cost 200 yen.

A month prior, Tatsu purchases a series of items that take up too much room in the apartment. Therefore, Miku suggests that Tatsu sells some of the items in a flea market, which Tatsu thinks she means the black market.

Back in the present, Tatsu laments his shortcomings as a dealer when Ryouta's mother and a friend of hers stops by Tatsu's spot. Browsing what's for sale, Ryouta's mother finds a sweater with a dragon on it, which Tatsu details is a premium piece of his. Just then a group of men belonging to the Saruwatari group try and extort money from a flea market vendor. So, Tatsu then confronts the group and the leader instantly recognizes Tatsu from his time as a Yakuza and becomes innerly terrified. The Saruwatari group then follow Tatsu to another place as per his request.

At a different location, Tatsu claims he's living a normal lifestyle and doesn't want to be bothered by "territory business". But as a show of good grace, he offers the leader a fruit peeler, then a blender, and finally a rubber ducky. The Saruwatari group leader, however, interprets the offers as him peeling off his skin, turn him into mincemeat, and finally drown him in the bay. Fainting due to the "volatile threats", the Saruwatari group leader meekly asks for mercy. So, Tatsu gives him all three items.
