Then I was wandering around the city. .......

"Hmm?

　I stopped in front of a building.

"A tavern, ...... where we can get some meaningful information, ......?

　Since a thousand years ago, taverns have been a typical place for information gathering.
　A wide variety of people gather in taverns. There are adventurers, knights, and even merchants.
　In addition, the presence of alcohol makes them talk more lightly than they should.
　I'm not much of a drinker, but just sitting at the counter and listening to the people talk is a good way to gather information.

Let's go.

　I decided to go through the door of the bar.

　Inside, the place was more crowded with people ...... and gods than I expected.
　Even though it was broad daylight, the place was quite busy.

　If there are so many gods and angels, it would be nice to get some information.

　There was no information from the waitress. I sat down at the counter, with the gods enjoying their drinks.

"What do you want?

　On the other side of the counter.
　The waitress calls out to me.

"Well, ......, I'll have something not too strong. I'm not much of a drinker.
"You're not much of a drinker, but you like it here. Well, it's going to be noisy, but take your time.

　The waiter gave me a strange look, but served me a clear, colorless sake.

　The smell of alcohol passed through my nose.
　I said, "Well, I'm not good at it, but I don't get drunk with a small amount. It's just that I don't like the taste.

　I tipped my glass, sipped my drink, and listened softly to the voices around me.


"Oh no, I've lost my money gambling again.
The human world is so boring and peaceful these days.
"Peace is good. Peace is good.
After this party, I'm getting married at .......
"Master, ale, please.


　They're all talking about the most trivial things.

These things are not so different from humans.

　Although not much time has passed since I came to the Divine Realm, it seems to be almost the same as the human world.

　Drinks that are the same as in the human world are in fashion.
　There are girls who get picked up, and there are girls who get picked up back.
　In these bars, people complain and get rid of their daily fatigue.

　In the past, people used to say that humans are the alter ego of God. ...... It's hard to believe, but looking at the divine world like this makes me want to believe it too.

Is this normal?　......No.

　--Something is wrong.

　The scene is the same as in the human world.
　I felt a slight discomfort there.

　As I sipped on my drink, trying to figure out what was wrong with it, .......


"Hey, there, buddy.


　Pong.
　I heard a voice from behind me and a hand on my shoulder.

　I'm uncomfortable.
　I shake his hand off.

"What?

　I turn to see a muscular man with a contorted face.
　Hmm. Apparently he didn't like my reaction.

"Huh!　"Huh!" He said, "You're drinking a little too much at a place like that. You should go home and drink your mother's milk.
"There are many ways to drink. I don't deny that you can enjoy drinking to the point of forgetting yourself, but that doesn't mean you should make fun of those who drink to the point of not getting drunk.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

　The man looked into my face.

　The man looked into my face and distorted his face.

"Hahahaha!　This guy is a human!　How can a human being be mixed up in the divine world?

　The man's laughter was very unpleasant.

　The man's laughter was so unpleasant that it echoed around the room.
　Perhaps because of this, the eyes of the people who had been drinking were all drawn to him.

"It's just a little sightseeing trip.
I don't think you can come to the divine world as a tourist. ...... Well, I don't care about that. I don't care about that. The way you drink is one thing, but your body is so skinny.
"Huh. I think you need to trim some of that off.
"What?

　The guy sneers.

You think I'm wasting my body?
Yeah. You look like you've been working out, but you've been working out too much.


"Ha! ......!　That's an interesting thing to say. People don't even know what they're looking at, do they?

　A man sits down next to me.

　I'm sorry, ......, but I think I've provoked him in a strange way.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.
　This is going to be a long story.

"Hey, bro. It's a sideshow. Let's play.

　Boom!
　The man puts his right elbow on the table and lifts the corner of his mouth in a grin.

What are you doing?
Let's arm wrestle. You can beat me if you're so high and mighty, can't you?

　See, I've gotten myself into trouble.
　It's easy to shake the guy off and walk out of the store. It's not worth the trouble to go along with his game.

　But on the other hand, I wanted to gather more information in this bar.
　But on the other hand, I would have liked to gather more information in this bar, because so far I have gotten nothing.

"...... is... All right.

　I let out a sigh and accept the man's match.
　The game is over in an instant. You're wasting your time arguing here.

You're pretty cool. Hey, get your ass in gear. Let's start.
"I can arm-wrestle with you and win without touching you.
"What?

　The man looks as if he doesn't know what he's talking about.

The man looked as if he didn't know what he was talking about. "Just so you know, magic is forbidden.　If you do that, the nature of the game will change.
"Of course.

　I stare at the man's face.

　And then.

"Oh, ......?

　The back of the man's hand moves closer and closer to the table.

What do you mean?　Why is my hand ...... moving by itself?

　He tried to restrain his right hand with his left hand, which started to move by itself.
　Normally, this would be a foul play. But there is no need to point it out.

You lose.

　As I said this, the man's body leaned further back.

"Whoa!

　He shouted, and the back of his hand finally touched the table.

　And it doesn't stop there.
　The hand went through the table and the man fell stupidly to the floor.

I told you.　I told you, you don't need to touch me to win.

　It's bad for the waiter to leave the table like this.
　I used magic to put the table back together and then looked down at the fallen man.

What do you mean, ......?　I'm sure you didn't touch me, and you didn't use any magic.　I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before. That's why your right arm started to move on its own and you tried to avoid a fight with me. ......

　It's too stupid for a small guy like him to fight properly.
　I glared at him intimidatingly.
　As a result, his 'unconsciousness' admitted defeat of its own accord.

Muscles are honest, aren't they? They don't even want to fight against the absolute strongest.
