A number of gemstones known as the Azuma Collection are being put up for auction.
The manager of the Ito Shobin Company hires Richard and Seigi to win a gemstone called the Buddha's Hand Citron.
During the pre-action preview, Seigi meets an acquaintance of Richard's named Shin.
It would seem that he is also attempting to buy the Buddha's Hand Citron, but how will the auction end...?
I would've cursed my aunt for putting 
the Buddha's hand citron up for auction.
لكنت لعنتُ عمّتي على وضعها 
.أترج يد بوذا في المزاد
nie verziehen, die Zitronatzitrone
zur Versteigerung freizugeben.
habría maldecido a mi tía
por subastar la Mano de Buda.
habría maldecido a mi tía
por subastar la Mano de Buda.
j’en aurais voulu à ma tante d’avoir
mis aux enchères la main de Bouddha.
avrei maledetto mia zia
per aver messo all'asta il Cedro Mano di Buddha.
eu teria amaldiçoado minha tia
por colocar a Mão de Buda em leilão.
я бы проклял тётю, которая отдала
«руку Будды» на аукцион.
