Taiga: This is the place where life intersects with death, the solution to all of your bad ends and apparently the seat of government for almost half of Japan; the TIGER DOJO! I am President Taiga Fujimura!
Ilya: And Im Stu-I mean, Vice-President Number One! Osu!
Taiga: Now, Vice-President, what is the most important part of running a nation?
Ilya: Well, this is an IOT, so I would say war. But we arent at war at the moment, so it would be finances?
[confetti bursts out of the sides, clapping and cheering noises are heard]
Taiga: Hooray! You got it correct, congratulations!
Ilya: Uh
Miss President, the confetti isnt stopping. I think the machines might be broken.
Taiga: Oh dear, they are. Run for your lives!
[technical difficulties]
Taiga: Okay, where were we?
Ilya: Finances.
Taiga: Yes! Thats right! The finances of a nation are its lifeblood! It makes the cars move, the trains run on time and prevents bad weather! If the nations finances were ever mismanaged, then the nation itself would be in dire peril! That is why I have delegated the task to some of my most competent underlings, who will now present us with a report on our finances.
Mikiya Kokutou: Good morning, sensei.
Taiga: Good morning
uh
who are you?
Mikiya: I am Mikiya Kokutou, the love interest of Shiki Ryougi from Kara no Kyoukai.
Taiga: Wait, do you have any financial credentials? Why didnt one of the more interesting characters come from the Financial Department like Akiha Tohno?
Mikiya: Well I did manage the money for the Yakuza when
Taiga: AH! NO SPOILERS! *slams sword into the ground*
Mikiya: Right. Well, I volunteered for this job because no one wanted to do the hard jobs.
Taiga: Ah
that is understandable
wait a minute
WHY IS TALKING TO ME CONSIDERED HARD??? *hammers sword into the ground aggressively multiple times*
Ilya: Uh, sensei
Mikiya: Talking to you isnt hard, its the delivering of bad news.
Taiga & Ilya: Bad news?!?!?!?!
Mikiya: Yes. Currently our total income for this year is exactly 1000 yen. Thats 8.32 USD.
Taiga: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! WHO HASNT BEEN PAYING THEIR TAXES???
Mikiya: Oh no, our tax income actually exceeded our expectations.
Ilya: Then how
?
Mikiya: Most of the money was lost repaying debts to the Great Houses.
Taiga:
Ilya: But wouldnt the money from the loans be factored into our profits?
Mikiya: Usually, but the loans went directly to the Presidents personal spending. I can look at what she spent it on if you-
Taiga: AH HA HA THATS ENOUGH BYE NOW *forcefully pushes Mikiya out of the room*
Ilya: Sensei, what did you spend all of our money on.
Taiga: Well
uh
that can be
ha ha
easily explained
err
*knocking on the door*
Shirou: Excuse me Sensei, am I interrupting anything important?
Ilya: Yes, this is a bad time Oni-
Taiga: NO, NOTHING IMPORTANT AT ALL! COME IN! COME IN!
Shirou: Right, well I was just wondering what I was going to do with all these gold encrusted truffles in the kitchen.
Taiga: Cook with them?
Shirou: You ordered over ten kilograms of them, theres no way I can cook something with all that!
Taiga: Wait, really? Damn, thats the last time I trust a travelling salesman.
Ilya: Taiga, you really spend the entire national budget on truffles you got from a travelling salesman?
Taiga: No, of course not!
I spent the entire national budget except 1000 yen. I mean that's not that bad...
Ilya: Uwah! How could you, you idiot! *Taiga slams the wooden sword down on Ilyas head* Ow
Taiga: Dont call your President an idiot! Hrumph!
Ilya: But sensei, we are now in a budget emergency!
Taiga: Nonsense! If we keep making 1000 Yen a turn, then well repay our debts! Eventually
Ilya: What if we get attacked in the meantime? We wouldnt have enough money to summon more servants and we dont even have a navy!
Taiga: Hmm
that is a problem. Well, theres a simple solution to that. MORE LOANS!
Mikiya: Um, sorry to interrupt-
Taiga: Wait, how did you get back in here?
Mikiya: -but you have exhausted every single banking institution and great house in the country. If we wanted further loans we would have to go overseas or ask Gilglam-
Everyone: NO!
Taiga: Hmm, well this IS a problem.
Suddenly,
Rider/EXTRA bursts in from one of the doors, dragging
Shinji/EXTRA behind her in chains.
Rider/EXTRA: GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!
Taiga: Rider, what are you doing here? Are
are you drunk?
Rider/EXTRA: Yes! Because I am celebrating! I have the best news that could ever come to any Pirate! BUIRED TREASURE!!! *Rider/EXTRA shoves an indecipherable treasure map in Taigas face*
Taiga: GAH! GET OFF ME WOMAN!!!
Rider/EXTRA: I have a map of the lost treasure of Kim Il-sung! Buried treasure! TREASURE!!!
Taiga: Treasure
wait
what a conveniently timed solution! Buried treasure would surely solve our budget issues!
Rider/EXTRA: Yes, but to get the treasure I need your help. You see, SOMEBODY caused my fleet to crash into each other.
Shinji/EXTRA: I said Im sorry!
Rider/EXTRA: Quiet, slave. Anyway, if I could borrow one your boats, I would be able to find his treasure! I ask that I only take enough to repair my fleet, the rest is yours.
Ilya: But we dont have any boats!
Taiga: Yes we do! You can use the Von Einzbern family yacht! Its a done deal! *Taiga hands Rider/EXTRA the keys to the Von Einzbern family yacht*
Ilya: What? No! You cant use that, grandfather would be livid! *Ilya starts feebly attempting to stop Taiga hitting her* Stop exploiting other people to solve your own problems!!!
Rider/EXTRA: Ha ha, time to set sail! And youre going to have the best view Shinji, tied to the mast!
Shinji/EXTRA: Nooooooooooo!
Ilya starts sobbing in the corner.
Ilya: Grandfather is going to be so angry
this is even worse than the time when Berserker sat on his Mercedes-Benz
Taiga: Another national crisis averted, thanks to my amazing leadership! It is only from my superb leadership skills, excellent financial experience and my genius intellect that I was able to save our nation from this terrifying financial hole! Join us next time, where I will solve this nation from yet another crisis that was definitely not caused by me!!!
