LOL, even if the world ends, you can't give up your leisure
It's a photo of the Terra beer the Head Mod recently put up for sale
I thought I was going to die because the world ended and I couldn't drink, but thanks to Head Mod, I'm still alive!

- Wow, holy shit; look at that color
ㄴ (Author) Looks amazing, right? I haven't tried it yet, but I'm fucking excited, yeah
- Wow, what a view
- A true first-class connoisseur is here
- Even if the world goes completely to shit, a guy who smiles at a single beer bottle... What a cool guy...
Adrian Empire's front line.
With two-thirds of the nation's territory already occupied by monsters, morale had plummeted.
It was a reality where it wouldn't have been strange to die or get injured at any moment.
Especially those who lived and died by alcohol had been unable to drink anything after their production facilities were destroyed in the Great War.
Maybe that was why.
The people of Adrian showed an almost bizarrely unconditional goodwill toward Head Mod.

- Guinness stout ← Why this bastard is the fucking GOAT
A people who took alcohol seriously, if not quite to the level of dwarves.
At one point, the Head Mod had so much influence in Adrian that people even started looking for drinking buddies for online drinking parties in the gallery.
The problem erupted there.

ㄴ (Author) Nice. I'll upload a pic right away

ㄴ (Author) !!!! I greet the Sun of the Empire!
ㄴ I greet the Sun of the Empire!!!
ㄴ Frederick) Are you supposed to drink while on guard duty?
ㄴ Frederick) This alcohol problem is more serious than I thought.
ㄴ (Author) I'm sorry!!!
ㄴ Frederick) Adrian's vigilance has grown so lax...
ㄴ Frederick) Starting today, I shall impose an alcohol prohibition throughout the Empire.

Title: People of the Adrian Empire, Listen
Author: Frederick
I, Frederick, believe all the defeatism rampant in Adrian stems from alcohol.
Since I have judged this a pastime unbecoming of the Empire's crisis,
As of this moment, I hereby declare an alcohol prohibition throughout the Empire.

- No, what the fuck is this bullshit!!!
- Ha, fuck, ah... Big Brother Crown Prince!
- Ah... ah... I seriously feel like starting a rebellion...
ㄴ Duke Isaac) You insolent bastards!!!!!
ㄴ Duke Isaac) How dare you, in whose presence do you think you stand!!!!!
- FullHPElf★) LMAOOOOOO
ㄴ LMAOOOOOO
ㄴ Yep~ Serves you right~ LOL
ㄴ Hating your own kind really is peak humanity
The alcohol prohibition had been declared out of nowhere.
All the people of Adrian felt dizzy.
Food rations were already unreliable, and everyone had been waiting for Head Mod's marketplace—now alcohol was banned too?
Title: Ah, I Don't Know Anymore LOL
I'm just not going on guard duty starting today.
Even the knights seem to be keeping quiet.
They keep saying they're quitting because everything is fucked, that they aren't standing watch anymore.

- LOL, the Imperial Army is running great~
- You too? LOL Me too.
- Why should I sacrifice myself for an empire like this?
- Monsters, irasshaimase~
The atmosphere inside the Empire grew ominous.
It even got to the point where people were mentioning plotting a rebellion.
But at this point, it was still solely an internal imperial problem.
The real problem was that Frederick threatened me too.
Title: Head Mod, Listen Up Again
Author: Frederick
If you are thinking of ignoring my command, abandon that thought.
I am not lenient toward those who are disloyal.
It will not be difficult to discover Head Mod's location, so I hope you make a wise decision.

- What makes these bastards so confident?
ㄴ They have the same magic tool as the elves, don't they? It's single-use, but they're probably acting like this because they trust in it.
- “Disloyal,” my ass. Head Mod's a beautiful elf girl, isn't she?
ㄴ They don't even know if Head Mod is human.
“What, they have a location-tracking magic tool too?”
The moment I saw that, I felt a headache coming on.
The elves had threatened me with this a while back, and it seemed the Empire had one too.
It was supposedly single-use, so it probably wasn't easy to make, but the problem was that they had one at all.
“Is it some kind of nuke? Whenever things don't go their way, they pull this out.”
Don't they sell some magic tool that blocks this sort of thing?
But even after I went into the marketplace, it only had Earth-related goods, so there was no way to solve the problem for now.
Title: But, Hold On
Author: Head Mod☆
There isn't any option to prohibit the sale of alcohol to a specific IP or anything;
So if I want to take this down, I have to take down all of it from the marketplace, right?

- For real, if they're pissed, they should just catch them themselves.
- Why drag other races into the fallout?
ㄴ Frederick) Do I really have to explain that to you one by one?
ㄴ Frederick) Adrian stands at the center of the continent. Is something so trivial really a problem?
ㄴ ??? What the fuck is this guy saying?
ㄴ The guy who used to grovel for weapons from us dwarves has gotten pretty full of himself, huh?
ㄴ Head Mod oppa, ah, surely not?
A few gallery users voiced their concerns.
Just like in the previous elf incident, my worst fears had come true.
I had no intention whatsoever of putting alcohol up for sale and hanging my neck out along with it.
“I'm not chickening out. I'm playing it safe.”
[All alcohol products have been banned from Head Mod's marketplace.]
[Reason: Adrian's alcohol prohibition]
ㄴ ¿¿¿
ㄴ F!!!U!!!C!!!K!!!
ㄴ No!!!!!!
ㄴ Brother Head Mod, anything but this!!!
With a single click, I ended up erasing alcohol from the entire Otherworld continent.

The reaction to the alcohol prohibition was immediate.
It began within Adrian.
Title: Ah, LOL
I'm a rebel starting today hehe
Crown Prince die, Adrian die, long live the monsters hehe

ㄴ No-no, if you're pissed, try tracing our IPs.
ㄴ Ah LOL, the world has ended, so he can't even catch us.

ㄴ That place fell ages ago...
ㄴ Not there, you apocalypse-brained idiot...
It was, quite literally, an internal riot.
The soldiers gave up standing guard, abandoned the walls, and went into the interior of the Empire.
The people stopped working altogether and sprawled around listlessly, making food production difficult.
“Grrr...?”
“Kieeeek...”
Thanks to that, only the monsters that had charged in en masse ended up bewildered.
The gallery even circulated a meme of monsters standing blankly atop the empty fortress wall for a long time.
And the problem wasn't confined to the inside.

Cancel the alcohol prohibition right now.
Otherwise, the FullHPElf faction will kill you.

- As expected, the elves are speaking facts for once...
ㄴ I'm agreeing with you for the first time.
- LOL, look at the way this guy's speech has completely fallen apart.
- But why are they so angry?
ㄴ For real, weren't they those elves who supposedly only drank dew?
ㄴ Ah LOL, “true” dew, you mean LOL
ㄴ They can abstain from meat, but not alcohol prohibition LOL

But it seems there's something else that needs clearing away, huh?

- Damn, these bros are terrifying.
- Their tone is kind, but the content is the exact opposite.
- Don't those brothers usually let their actions speak? Seems like they're preparing for war right now.
- If you get into a siege war with the dwarves, it'll really be over in a day.
- Ah;; I'm leaving Adrian;;
Most public opinion was favorable toward me.
But seeing that public opinion, I had no intention of getting carried away and putting alcohol back up for sale.
“I need to think carefully. I can take it or leave it when it comes to selling.”
Even if the Crown Prince gave in to the atmosphere and asked me to sell it, I planned not to.
But it didn't look like that was happening yet.

I'm a rebel myself, and apparently Duke Isaac in the north is bringing his army down to the capital?
He says it's to suppress the rebels and prepare for war—what do we do?
(A meme of Duke Isaac's army)

- Ah, this is bad;
- I really don't want this to turn into an actual war.
- Even if the dwarves and elves were supposedly going to war, they can't come because they're too busy defending their own territory;
ㄴ But I think the dwarves really might come.
ㄴ Taldru) We're fully mobilized. We're ready to march down at any time.
ㄴ The booze fanatic's right—dwarf supremacy.
It was Duke Isaac, the only one in Adrian who had completely held back the north, coming down.
No matter what rebellion had broken out, things changed when Isaac, the main army, came down.
- Ah fuck, I really want to kill these filthy humans.

- ??? What is this now
The gallery had become nothing short of chaos upon chaos.
In an atmosphere whose fervor showed no sign of cooling, a post went up.
Featured post) Head Mod oppa... please look at this just once...
Author: WholesomeDemure
“Gasp.”
It was none other than the beloved user WholesomeDemure.
WholesomeDemure, who was not being ironic but truly a ray of light in the barren gallery, was a gallery user who spread a lewd selfie every morning.
To top it off, their race was the supposedly rare succubus.
True to a race said to subsist on pleasure, WholesomeDemure fed on people's reactions and carried on.
“Even with the alcohol prohibition crisis going on, I can't ignore this.”
The moment I saw the username, I clicked reflexively.

ㄴ For real LOL
ㄴ (Author) !!!!!
As expected, there wasn't a single downvote.
Mentioning Head Mod in the gallery to try to establish familiarity was prohibited, but this was an exception.
- Head Mod☆) Yes, hehe. Why did you call me?
ㄴ LOL, this lunatic
ㄴ Look how polite his speech got.
For some reason, it was when I had replied to the post.
ㄴ (Author) I think I might be able to help you with this alcohol prohibition situation...
