---------------------------------------
Yesterday, i asked the old man more about the rankings, and how to rank up so to say.
“The thing about ranking is, you can buy your way up until rank C, but from there you can only rank up via two ways. And that is, going through the Colosseum, where you fight until you knock out your opponent for great rewards. Because people can’t be killed here in heaven, the penalty for losing is as heavy as the reward for winning. So i don’t quite recommend this way, and then there’s gambling. In gambling, you can either defeat enough people to gain a new rank or you get your opponent to wager their ranks. Also, your rank is regularly updated by the god of rankings, so it should be alright. Its honestly funny how the god of contracts and the god of rankings are working together even though they are on such bad relations....either way, those windows you saw earlier are the works of both gods.”
I understood what he meant, after he simplified it 5 times.
He explained it to me....5 times.
Do people take me as an idiot?!
So as to raise my self esteem, i began my morning exercises.
“Daddy~!”
I could hear an excited shout behind the door.
No....to be exact, the door is open and there’s a young, short blue haired girl in front of me.
“Daddy~~!!!”
She began calling her dad in a louder voice.
I ran toward her and grabbed her by her body with one hand and another inside her mouth.
I took her inside my room and closed the door.
I....of course locked the door as well.
What?!
D-don’t worry, I’m not a lolicon.
“Hey old man. why were you making poses in front the mirror and saying ‘I’m the best’ and ‘I’m too smart for anyone to understand me’? are you lonely? are you an idiot??”
This young girl, who was wearing a yellow one piece dress and a hairpin, made a drastic change to her earlier cute and innocent personality.
Yes....this young, sadistic little girl is the bar’s old man’s daughter.
Although it seems like I’m the only one who noticed her true nature......
“Hey Angeline......can you keep quiet about what you just saw.....? here, I’ll give you this candy.”
“I don’t want one measly hard candy.”
“Ugh....fine, here’s a second one.”
“Just two? I’ll make sure that everyone in here realizes that you’re an idiot. although.....i doubt no one haven’t noticed yet. even though you just came to heaven yesterday, your stupidity is already public knowledge.”
“Hey! why are you doing this to me......? here’s the whole jar......so can you please keep quiet about this....? also, i can never see your cute personality the same ever....you demon.”
“You’re such an easy mark, old man. I’ll make sure to make you learn the ways of the world so you don’t get tricked out there, old man~♪ ☆”
Ways of the world my ass.
All you want is my candy........and thats the second jar........

Now how am i going to get my energy in the mornings?!
Do i have to eat....breakfast.......?!
Noo~!
I don’t want to eat breakfast.......its the cursed meal.
The cursed meal that activates your bowels.
The cursed meal the makes your body wants to.........shit.
I head down stairs toward the bar, that acts like a restaurant in the mornings.
“Hey old man....your daughter is a demon.”
“What!? my daughter is an angel! she’s my own angel~!! in no way is she like that......do you want me to kick you the hell out of here....?!”
While saying that, the old man’s eyes turned serious.....
This guy is actually going to do it.....
That’s when the devil turned.
Truly, she is a devil.
Haven’t you ever heard this saying “when you mention the devil, he’ll come”?
“Daddy~ don’t worry........i don’t think mister Alex is that bad....y’know.....? so please don’t kick him out....!”
That’s when it happened.
The bear eyed old man suddenly narrowed his eyes, with tears falling down toward his cheeks he said “Of course not, my angel~! Not when you ask so earnestly.....how can i ever kick out this trash......? even if he is trash, if he’s gold in my daughter’s eyes, then its gold!”
That’s when he suddenly turned toward me.
“You........what are toward my daughter.........?! want me to kill you?!?!??! I’m not handing over my daughter y’know!!! OVER.MY.DEAD.BODY. try to even get near her when I’m around.......and I’m going to kill you!”
“W-wah?! but i didn’t do anything....”
That’s when Angeline revealed a smirk toward me.
This bastard.......
“A-anyhow, isn’t about time you make me breakfast.......? I’d like to eat omelet.....”
Just as i said that, the old man brings out a plate and cracks open the egg on top of it.
“There you go.”
“Ehh~?! but thats not an omelet, isn’t that just raw eggs?!”
“What? isn’t that good enough for a person like you??”
“Ehh......at least give me some rice...will you?”
“Only this once though.”
He went back toward the kitchen and then he came back with....a handful of rice.
He dumped that handful into the plate that had the raw eggs.
he said “Enjoy~” with a huge grin in his face.
Although this old man tried to bully me more....it seems he doesn’t know the Japanese population.
the best breakfast in japan is raw eggs in rice with soy sauce...!
I took my plate and sat on the nearest table.
I began pouring the soy sauce on top of the rice and then began mixing the three.
After that, i began enjoying the pleasant meal that i haven’t had for at least a month.
But soon enough.....i ate everything.
But as i finished my meal in regret, the old man came to my table with another plate full of rice and handed it to me with a sigh and said “i never saw someone enjoy such a disgusting meal with a happy expression such as the one you showed.”
And that was the morning of my second day in heaven.
* In heaven, only Gods can live without water and food. It was made like that in order to make the deceased more familiar in heaven just like they were when they were alive.
