"Wait!"
Good raised a hand to stop them, his gaze serious.
"Shogun, we haven't discussed splitting the money yet. How can you let them leave? Even if they go out, they have to bring my share with them."
"Yes, that's right! Let's discuss the money first!"
Orochi realized he had gotten too excited. He had almost forgotten just how greedy the man before him was. When money was involved, this fellow absolutely refused to let go.
Good flashed a brilliant smile and took out an abacus.
"Shogun, the bandit suppression funds totaled 300,000 gold. After deducting your initial investment of 100,000 and the expenses, we have 180,000 left. We'll split that thirty-seventy, as agreed."
"Let me calculate thirty percent of 180,000."
"54,000 gold!"
"Add the initial investment, and that's 154,000 gold in total!"
Good pushed the abacus toward Orochi, his smile growing even brighter. "Shogun, your total share is 154,000 gold. Please check."

Orochi's smile vanished at a visible speed, and he stared fixedly at Good. "Brother Good, haven't you made a mistake? Why do I only get thirty percent?!"
"There's no mistake!"
Good looked completely serious.
"Shogun, you may have misunderstood something!"
"Of the thirty-seventy split we agreed on, the thirty percent is yours."
"The remaining seventy percent!"
Good pointed at himself and said softly,
"Is mine!"

"Seventy percent is mine."
Looking at Good's serious expression, Orochi understood that Good wasn't joking. He really intended to take seventy percent.
His fury ignited instantly.
Orochi's face gradually twisted as he stared fixedly at Good.
If the man before him had been Kaido, he wouldn't have objected in the slightest. He would even have considered it only natural.
But what right did a mere Shinuchi, an ordinary officer who wasn't even one of
