Chibi Theater
The Tale of the 1,000 Pounds
Integrity above all!
Give us a new captain!
Make the captain step down!
Make him step down!
Alger, it's payday again.
Everyone's still waiting
for last month's pay.
The Church of the Lord of Storms did pay out,
but it was cut in half on top of other deductions.
When it got to me, there wasn't much left.
Then, what do we do?
Will we Mandated Punishers
have to do the dealings of pirates?
Relax.
Just give me a day.
I'll cover all the pay and
double it.
Have you lost control, Alger?
During the Tarot Club meeting,
Miss Justice agreed to pay me 1,000 pounds.
Can she really cough up that much
in such a short space of time?
Our captain is mighty!
The captain's amazing!
We'll forever be loyal to you, captain!
Captain!
Where'd all that money come from?
Captain, you're amazing!
Looks like not only can the Tarot Club
help me advance quicker as a Beyonder,
it can also become my source of wealth.
1,000 pounds in non-consecutive old banknotes.
I reckon that must have been
some task for Miss Justice.
Oh, my little Audrey.
You've come up with a way to solve the problem
of our messy, inefficient government?
Yes, Father.
An examination.
We hold an annual examination
that is open to the public
to select officials for
each government department.
These officials will maintain
efficiency in the kingdom,
so even if the ministers all turn into
curly-haired baboons, we'll still be fine.
That's great, my little Audrey.
You came up with a suggestion that
even the cabinet couldn't dream up.
But of course. It was Mr. Fool's suggestion.
A suggestion from a god.
That's my daughter.
You've really helped your father out.
Hm, I will give you some extra spending money.
Let's say
an extra 1,000 pounds a month.
