The large hand lets go of me, trembling as if it had touched something scalding.
“Huh?”
“W-what just happened?”
“Haru, are you okay…?”
“Ugh, this is the worst… Something definitely touched me just now, right…?”
The four of us are freed from the arm of the god.
Looks like they’re fine.
OK, OK.
Now then…
“Huh, wait, what?”
“You… interrupted divine punishment…?”
“No, that’s impossible, no way…”
The hall starts buzzing.
Hmm, maybe I overdid it a little?
Considering my current status as homeless… yeah, I might’ve gone too far.
Or is it still okay?
‘What have you done… that power… it can’t be…’
Whoa, someone’s talking to me…
Hmm, if I draw any more attention, things might get messy.
There’s a big difference between revealing myself and being exposed by someone else, charisma-wise.
Alright, let’s handle it this way.
“…………”
‘Mortal, pitiful homeless one. You possess a flawed G-rank gift, an unknown blessing to us, the Seven Gods. Answer me. What did you just do?’
“…………”
‘There is no need to fear… just answer.’
“…………”
‘…Hey, are you listening? Um, wait, you…’
“…………”
‘Are you ignoring me?’
“…………”
‘What…’
Hah, looks like they finally realized.
Ignoring.
I feel like whatever I do now will just make things worse, so yeah, let’s go with ignoring.
I’ll ride this out by staying silent.
“Hey… that homeless guy… what is he doing, in the face of divine phenomena…?”
“Impossible. Not only did he interrupt the god’s words, but he’s outright ignoring them…?”
“That’s pretty bold, huh…”
The hall grows even more agitated.
Ahh, this is getting really annoying.
—Should I just kill them all?
Honestly, what am I supposed to do here?
‘…It seems you do not understand your position… Enough of this.’
“Ah!”
“Snow!!”
“Oh no, that arm again!”
“Yaaah! Haru, this time we’re really done for!”
Oh, crap. That purple arm is coming this way again.
Hmm, if I flick it away, it’ll cause more commotion, won’t it?
Using the zodiac or any other technique would probably give me away too…
Oh, right.
As long as I don’t get caught, it should be fine.
Zap.
‘Hot!’
The purple arm twitches and stops.
Alright, good, that worked…
‘It’s burning… It’s really burning… What is this… I hate this…’
The purple arm disappears.
“……………”
A heavy silence.
Wait, isn’t this reaction a bit off from what I expected…?
“H-hey, you, what did you just do?”
A pompous old man, face reddened as if his blood vessels are about to burst, glares at me.
“……………”
I’ll keep ignoring them.
