Nero, reading the budget sheet: Wait, this is weird.
Nero: Well, Yami's budget for this month's missions are $54,000, he wrote in $6,000 for discretionary allowance, but he totaled to $70,000.
Luck: So his math is wrong. Should've totaled to 60.
Nero: Right, so I'll put 60, then.
Magna: WAIT! He means he totaled it to 70!
Luck: Oh?... Oooooh, yeah, my bad.
Nero: Oh, so like he meant to write $16,000?
Magna: I mean, who knows? Like, we can't read captain's mind. I always go with the total.
Gauche: Whatever you two bullshitting behind my back I have NOTHING to do with—
Gauche: Is that the monthly budget?
Gauche: [looks at the budget]
Gauche: [looks back at Nero slowly]
Gauche: That's a $16,000 allowance.
Nero: So go with the total?
Gauche: Go with whatever's better for you.
Zora, chiming in: Let me see.
Magna: It's like captain's math. You go with whatever's greater, the extra allowance or the total.
Zora: Tsk, it's obvious he meant to write $6,000. You can't just add money to your allowance 'cause his math is bad.
Luck: But you're assuming he didn't write the one in front of the six, like reeeeeally lightly.
Zora: I don't see a one at all.
Gauche: What. Now you two are forensic scientists? Captain already spent 70 grand tonight in his mind. Why confuse him when he gets his budget statement? What, you're going to disturb his time by creating holes in his logic!
Luck: Shame on you guys, shaaaaame on you.
Magna: Captain's always right. That's the number one rule here, newbies.
Nero: So you would change the total if the math was not in your favor?
Gauche: Yes, because then if he comes to complain, we can show him what he wrote for the discretionary spending and it's legit.
Nero, shrugging: Eh. Okay.
Zora: Wow, no wonder you guys keep getting grounded.
