So now you're saying the Jesuit did lie? He's the one who claimed it was a big deal, after all. That Nobunaga thought he had ink on his skin and ordered hum to scrub and that he enjoyed surprising other people with the weird looking foreigner in his court, that he never wrote about.
I don't know why you would think that the Jesuit would super definitely lie about saying "Hey, I sold one of my slaves."
That's not the point, it's that meeting an unusual looking foreigner would have been noteworthy, but nobody noted meeting him.
Or it wasn't that big of a deal, so what were records there were were lost because "oh hey look a black guy" only goes so far.
