"Sizzle—!"

A burst of blue-green electric sparks flashed.

It looks very much like an upright-walking lizard, with black and white fur, and plugs stuck into its head and the end of its tail...

A strange humanoid creature with a green hourglass symbol glowing on its chest.

It just appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

The electric lizard scratched its head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Oh dear, sorry everyone."

"This Black Ball exam was released a bit hastily; I forgot to assign a candidate to represent the Mysterious Merchant..."

The green emblem on the electric lizard's chest flashed, and after looking around, it spoke:

"As compensation for the fright you suffered."

"Excuse me, is there anyone here who would like to volunteer to be the mystery merchant for this event?"

Volume 1: Chapter 143 Ayanokouji's Legacy

"A mysterious merchant?"

Upon hearing these words, Hayakawa Akira frowned slightly.

He vaguely remembered that just a few days ago, when he was explaining this common knowledge to Horikita, he had heard something similar from him.

Hayakawa Aki didn't take it seriously at first.

After all, in a world with demons, even if a few unregistered humans suddenly appear out of nowhere, people would at most think of them as stowaways who have made a pact with the demons.

It's difficult for people to explore deeper levels of understanding.

But right now...

Hayakawa Aki glanced sideways.

Even the usually indifferent Mr. Angel, and Kwang-hee, a close friend of the senior on the shore, are now wary when facing this fundamental demon.

But it is precisely this root of despair that is the demon that drives them to despair...

When faced with this strange-looking, mysterious creature, everyone must give it a wide berth.

Although he spoke somewhat eccentrically, even like a cynical salesman.

But absolutely no one dared to show the slightest contempt.

As the aura of the Dark Demon departed, the angel and the demon breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to look at Hayakawa Aki, his voice still carrying a hint of lingering fear:

"Qiu...do you know something?"

Hayakawa Aki slowly shook his head, offering no reply. He merely stared warily at the electric lizard that had casually dispelled the Root Demon, just like Mitsuhiro.

On the other side...

Although I felt joy at seeing my brother, whose fate was unknown.

However, Horikita Suzune was not overwhelmed by the joy of regaining what she had lost.

She no longer blindly rushed to seek his approval as she had in the past.

She has transformed.

The weak girl who used to only follow her brother around, imitating whatever he said, and who locked herself in a cold shell... is dead!

Thinking it over, Horikita Suzune's eyes cleared.

He took Yamada Albert, Wang Meiyu, and others to meet up with Koenji Rokusuke and the others.

During this process, just like her, Tachibana Akane was clearly very interested when she saw Horikita Manabu and wanted to go up and say something to him.

Seeing that even her younger sister, Horikita Suzune, remained rational, Tachibana Akane, as her senior, naturally felt embarrassed to speak up in such a dangerous situation.

And Koenji Rokusuke.

He then tossed his blond hair and, turning to the electric lizard who was standing with his hands on his hips, asked bluntly:

"Heh... a companion of the great inventor?"

"Should I say that since it was your mistake, this is all the compensation we should offer?"

Upon hearing this, the electric lizard scratched its head:

"That's indeed the only one."

"Instead... you should be wondering why you're getting any compensation."

"Actually, if I just randomly picked someone to be this businessman, there's nothing you could do about it, right?"

It shrugged: "Sigh... I can only blame my damn sense of responsibility."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Before the examinees enter and before the main god pays any attention to this area, make your decisions quickly!"
