[One day, hell should have its very own Shamelessness Olympics, and Dazai would win all the gold medals. (Well... maybe 90% of them, anyway.)
You get no bows for sneakily avoiding giving your name (for a moment there), young man! Also, Dazai figures he's a bit older than Yizhi, even though the old-timey style makes it harder than usual to be sure: he can get away without excess politeness unless he's feeling like messing around with it, probably.]
A pleasure to meet you too, Gao-kun.
[Chinese indeed, then, or something close enough. More relevant to Dazai is that he's thinking the onomatopoeia, and imagining Yizhi as Growl-kun.
But this isn't the time to dwell on that, when they have work to do - and as much as Dazai dislikes work, he's a little interested to see how this will go. When they get to the vegetable stand, he feigns shock, grabbing for his chest rather dramatically, and generally making as if Cupid took a detour through hell just to shoot him.]
What do mine eyes see? Never did I expect to find so unique a lady working in so commonplace a location.
[Yeah, he's absolutely trying to get a discount, since he has halfway committed to paying his share. Shameless, indeed. But he's not technically lying! ... So far, anyway.]
