Or Gaijin Culture; there's 1 we won't get, just based on 16 subjects and 15 possible decisions. So what between these 4:

Fish (Mundane):

75 for big time victory.

That's 90 with no duplicates? Am I reading that right?

Doing the math, doesn't that mean, if we each just get the base 5 books each, if they are worthwhile, with no duplicates, that would be 30 each, for 4 of us, leading to 120 points, without your 45 or 90? Guaranteeing the full win?

So raises aren't needed?

The doubling may mean we find scrolls the Phoenix didn't know they had. >.>

“We tell the tale of heroes to remind ourselves that we also can be great.”

Wow. Even without any doubling, we saved 165 texts, by my count. They got the right group for this!

I mean....Shakanar is the one who was offered any item up to 10 koku worth as a reward....and choose to get a bunch of books.
