“Hello, brother. Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior?”
People wondered what the heck I was saying, but any nonsense sounded somewhat legitimate when one said it confidently. On top of that, I was the one who said it, making it all the more plausible.
The shopkeeper frowned. “Huh? What are you talking about, stranger?”
I was inside quite a big antique shop in the port city. Even at noon, there were many guests around. A regular was playing chess with the old shopkeeper, who put down his chess piece and pushed up his monocle.
“I don’t believe in small fry gods. You look like a fine young man, but you’re just spouting nonsense. There’s nothing here for you, so leave.”
“I feel like you could know more about our lord and savior, sir. Have you heard of the god called the Labyrinth-Dwelling Eye?” I asked with a smile.
“Why do you sound like a meowing dog or a barking cat?”
I wondered what that meant, but I had other questions I wanted to find an answer to. I nudged the snake on my wrist.

I scoffed.
