Since Maneki was a lucky cat, he was used to either scramming or sitting somewhere else, but he preferred doing the latter just in case the client deceived him and left without paying Maneki a single coin. He used this chance to scan the clients' goods, spotting a very distinctive writing. Without permission, Maneki picked the good up and inspected it, and then reading that it was a bronze badge with Sinese signatures on it. Thus, Maneki read it out loud, "Stupid foreigner...?" is what the pendant says. When the merchant heard this, he swiped the item off of Maneki's hands. "Ehhh? Why're you trying to sell silly items, old man?"
"You fool! The people that don't understand Sin thinks Sin is amazing! They'll buy ANYTHING related to Sin!" was what the merchant said, right in time as the arrival of a customer, which the merchant willingly welcomed with a smile. Of course, the sinister (no pun intended) Maneki wouldn't dare let this customer become a fool and get his efforts taken for granted! Thus, the cat would jeer into the conversation, "Hello, foreigner! What would you like to buy today?" was what he said, giving the merchant all the daily dose of anxiety that he needed for the day.
