You begin the A Weight of Coin side quest by talking to Takero at Ishikari Market in Ishikari Plain. If you can’t find him, start off at the Ishikari Market bounty board and head straight uphill. Once you see the white banners start to pop up, look to your left, and you’ll find him leaning against a building. Walk up to him, and he’ll call out to you.

Takero has a message he wishes to send. He is a moneylender who had lent money to a food merchant. Instead of spending money on food, however, this merchant is allegedly spending money on the wrong things. Takero wants you to send a humble message to this merchant. Finish this conversation to kick off the quest.

The food merchant Takero speaks of is in the Nishin Fishery, a location near the Otaru Beach. This location is also marked on your map. Head to the Nishin Fishery and you’ll find the merchant standing under the tree. Instead of food, however, the man has been using the money to acquire and sell weapons.

Before you get the chance to comment on the merchant’s trade, a group of Oni Raiders rushes to the scene to back the merchant. This is who the merchant has been selling the weapons to. The Oni Raiders will then question you, threatening to kill you if you don’t leave.

Kill the Oni Raiders and talk to the scared weapons merchant. He’ll plead for his life, stating that killing him will do no good. He’ll acknowledge that he got the message Takero was trying to send. Once the conversation is over, collect the money from the chest nearby and return it to Takero to complete the quest.
