Koohii Story 1 "The tachibana, or mandarin orange, is a type of tree which sometimes yields poor quality fruit. In such times, instead of simply standing up and inviting customers to make a deal, you must force the sale of your mandarin oranges by brandishing a halberd and forcing the customer to make a deal with you by purchasing your substandard fruit. [Note: along with 柚 citrus tree (#2482), this is used to describe all citrus plants - 柑橘類 かんきつるい means 'citrus fruit'.]."
Koohii Story 2 "To get MANDARIN ORANGES off the tree use your HALBERD, then MAKE A DEAL to sell them."
