"What the hell!?"
"Why is there so much debt?"
"Were you the one who borrowed it?", Rei asked, making a wild guess.
Rondachika nodded and shook his head simultaneously.
"Ugh, then tell me. Why is there such a huge amount of debt?"
"M-master…"
"I-"
"I have used the money to pay tax.", Rondachika said, stuttering due to fear.
'Ah! It must be that the previous ruler of this land was too greedy and kept a high tax ratio.'
'He must have died that's why after protecting these villagers, they must have chosen me as their next leader.' Rei thought. It all made sense to him after he thought about it for a long time.
However, something still didn't fit properly.
He looked into Rondachika's eye and questioned him.
"So, the so-called tax…"
"How much have you paid?", listening to Rei's question Rondachika lifted his five fingers.
"Ah, five thousand gold coins?", Rei questioned as his eyes opened wide.
'These goblins are richer than me!'
