Rent

Mnemonic

The leader who is king of every shellfish sets the rent for everyone. If you rent a home in King Shellfish's kingdom, the rent will be set by the great shellfish leader himself.

Hints

King Shellfish loves when people rent from him. Imagine him rolling in all of the rent money (shellfish) he collected from all the people who rent from him. Hear his shell clattering as he frolics on all the dead shells from the shellfish.

Mnemonic

If you don't have enough shellfish to pay your rent, King Shellfish will punch you in the chin (ちん).

Hints

Feel your entire body shaking, but especially your chin, as you tell him you're two shellfish short on rent this month. The last thing you see is his big fist coming right for your chin.
