Intro
In this world, numerous organizations, conspiracies, and factions ran rampant.
Among them, one group stood out (for all the wrong reasons): 'Pessim,' founded by Madeira.
To put it bluntly, the executives have absolutely zero sense of ethics! Because of this, they are more widely known by their nickname, the 'Zero-Ethics Squad,' than by their actual name, 'Pessim'!!*
Currently, the infamous zero-ethics executives are drinking at a tavern.
Iril, having finished his mug of ale, stands up and heads to the counter. He then attempts to seize the entire barrel of liquor.
"Sir, you can't do that!" the clerk cries out, rushing to stop him, but Iril, looking entirely unbothered, slams the payment onto the counter with a deadpan face.
Iril, that's a whole barrel!?
I rush to stop Iril.
...If one is to drink alcohol, doing so directly from the barrel is the most efficient method.
He returns to his seat still clutching the barrel. He then begins to tear the barrel apart with his bare hands.
Don't look for efficiency in drinking!
