Suwei looked the Death Demon up and down, then feigned curiosity and asked, "How did you get involved with Miss Leona?"

The Death Demon swallowed the sweet taste in his mouth and explained expressionlessly:

"I heard that you buy props from people with green hourglass-shaped symbols."

"So, I was thinking... could I make a deal with Orianna to absolve myself of my fate as a demon of death, once and for all?"

Su Wei listened, raising an eyebrow in surprise.

He turned to look at Orianna and asked curiously, "Orianna, what did you use as your bargaining chip?"

Orianna, holding the spinning metal puppet in her arms, gently shook her head:

"Li'l D hasn't offered any chips yet."

She said, "Let me have some dessert first, and then we can talk slowly."

"This is the highest courtesy I can show to my friends."

The Death Demon nodded slightly to the side, his tone calm.

The meaning is clear: as people who were also invited and treated by her, you should feel honored.

However, the Demon of Death did not maintain this arrogance forever.

She looked at the untouched cake in front of her, a rare hint of distress in her voice:

"But... I overlooked the fact that Orianna herself has no sense of taste. Now I don't know what to do to win her over."

Shiina Hiyori took her seat, her gaze briefly drifting between the Death Demon and Orianna.

After a brief moment of thought, she asked softly, with just the right amount of curiosity:

"Speaking of which, Miss Leona... are you allowed to sell shop goods privately outside of the exams stipulated by the Black Ball?"

Upon hearing Shiina Hiyori's question, Orianna shook her head again:

"No."

“I am merely an executor of the sales; the actual purchasing authority is in the hands of GANTZ. I can only sell products to eligible individuals during the specific times they stipulate.”

“However…” Orianna changed the subject, “I myself am not under Gantz’s control. Outside of exam time, I can freely allocate my actions. Moreover, I can use the items that belong to me at will.”

As she spoke, Orianna reached out, and a flash of light appeared in her palm, revealing a card printed with strange runes.

"Like the 'absolute death' that Li'l D wanted..."

"Although I don't fully understand it, this 'Causal Severance' in my hand can directly teleport the targeted object to a true other dimension... a void even more distant than the 'back room,' one that can never be interfered with."

Orianna tilted her head: "Exile there must be pretty much the same as absolute death?"

Su Wei listened, and subconsciously frowned.

He turned to the Death Demon with a somewhat puzzled look and said:

"If I remember correctly...didn't we already make an agreement before?"

"Even if you were sent to another dimension, you most likely wouldn't come back. But that state is still a long way from the 'true death' you're looking for."

Suwei narrowed his eyes. "You like humans that much? So much that you'd be willing to exile yourself for them..."

The Death Demon fed himself the last bit of cake, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it before calmly replying:

"I just want to know if there are any alternative solutions besides your promise."

"This serves as a form of insurance."

Su Wei sighed helplessly and leaned back in his chair:

"If you are really so worried that your arrival will cause the extinction of humanity, and you can't wait to find a shelter, you can come to my 'Map of Mountains and Rivers'."

"The Map of Mountains and Rivers can simulate the real world almost one-to-one. You can stay inside for a while, and then I'll release you after I return to my original world, right?"

Why must you exile yourself to nothingness to suffer?

Upon hearing this, the Death Demon pursed his pale lips slightly, seemingly pondering the feasibility of the suggestion.

She didn't keep everyone waiting long; after a moment, she nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.

"You can give it a try."

"However, I'd like to bring something in, is that alright?"

"For example, chefs, PS5 game consoles, and movie discs..."

Su Wei was taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"Although the art style is a bit strange, this request... I have no reason to refuse it."

It seems the problem of the Death Demon has been resolved.

Hiyori Shiina, who had been listening quietly, subtly moved closer to Clockwork Demon:

"Leona, now that you have free time..."

"Is it possible if we want to buy or upgrade items from you now?"

"Now is a specific time, and Gantz said it's okay."
