I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

"It's me, hello," said Oreki Kimie politely.

"Please come in."

Serega stepped back, and Oreki Kimie went inside.

She came alone and did not bring Kato Megumi with her.

Kato Megumi's presence is now similar to that of a normal person. This situation hasn't caused her much trouble, except that her bonuses are not as high as before.

As soon as Oreki Kimie entered, she spotted Alice.

What's up with this creature? It's so cute!

"So you've finally arrived? I don't know why you've been in contact with the devil for so long and are still alright. If you can satisfy my curiosity, I can help you..."

"Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Before Alice could finish speaking, Oreki Kimie lifted her up under her armpits and then rubbed her face against Alice's...

Selesia and Meteora were used to it. Alice was indeed cute, so cute that they couldn't stand it. It was perfectly normal for someone meeting Alice for the first time to want to hug her.

Meteora didn't sit still after Oreki Kumie entered. Her eyes shone with an icy blue light, and she rapidly turned the pages of the grimoire in her hand.

Many of her magic spells are currently ineffective in this world because she hasn't fully grasped the rules of this world. However, after Luo Feng showed her just the tip of the iceberg of his power, she could at least tell whether Luo Feng had made a deal with this girl and whether there were any traces of supernatural power on her.

She quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

The girl's body appeared untouched, and her soul had no connection to Luo Feng's...

"Sorry, sorry, you're so cute, I couldn't resist. If my brother didn't have a girlfriend, I really would have liked to introduce you to him." Oreki Kimie released Alice after finishing her cigarette and said with a grin.

"That's too much, so rude! I'm not a doll..." Alice used the plush toy she had picked up to build a wall and backed away from the head of the bed. "Seriously, Ayaka and the boss do the same thing. Why do all the girls like to hug me? I just don't understand."

"Oh? Even a famous detective has things he doesn't understand?" Oreki Kimie revealed a playful expression.

She must have looked up Alice's information before she came, just as Alice looked up her information.

Oreki Kimie was also very curious about this NEET detective.

Although she wasn't a detective, her reasoning skills were excellent, and her younger brother also possessed unparalleled reasoning talent.

She couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for the adorable girl who had entered the supernatural world.

It's important to know that anyone who gets involved with Luo Feng will almost never have a good ending.

"Hmph, that's beyond my understanding. I invited you here to ask you some questions about the devil. In exchange, you can ask me any questions you want." Alice stared at Oreki Kimie: "I know you have a strong sense of curiosity. I can even share information about otherworldly beings with you."

“You just happened to meet them earlier.” Oreki Kimie’s gaze fell on Meteora and the returning Selesia. “I think even if I didn’t tell you the ins and outs, I could still get some information from them. Their identities speak for themselves…”

Soon, Oreki Kimie revealed the identities of the two, which she had only briefly inquired about.

With her deductive abilities and understanding of light novel authors' tropes, she easily deduced the two's goal: to return to their own world.

Both characters belong to the lawful good type and will not harm her for no reason unless they consider her an enemy or are particularly emotional.

Clearly, Selesia is the type of person who is easily agitated, but after traveling through time for so long, she should have calmed down by now.

"See? I told you so, didn't I?"

Oreki Kimie sat down on the bed with a swagger: "Little detective, if you want information about the devil from me, you'll have to offer something of equal value in exchange. I advise you not to get involved in this matter; it's really not something ordinary people should be involved in."

"You two have seen it too, she is just a child, even if she has a high IQ, she is still a child."

"Instead of cooperating with her, you should cooperate with me."

“But I’m safe.” Alice completely ignored her words, placed her small hand on her chest, and calmly said, “I’ve never been in contact with the devil, and I’m more trustworthy than you in that respect.”

“I’m sorry, we are unfamiliar with this world, and I can’t fully trust you.” Meteora said to Oreki Kimie, “I can see into Miss Alice’s heart. Her soul is very clear, and she helps us out of the heart.”

Oreki Kimie paused for a moment, then tapped her temple in annoyance: "That's why I sometimes really envy people like you with supernatural powers. Can you look into my soul?"

“I don’t have that kind of power.” Meteora shook her head. “I’ve only ever seen the power to summon souls in that demon. If you’re willing to share information about him, I’m willing to teach you magic.”

"Teach me magic? I can learn it too?" Oreki Kimie's eyes widened.

“I don’t know,” Meteora said. “If I analyze the rules of this world and know how to absorb the magical energy in the air, you could theoretically learn it too. But you’re too old, and magical knowledge is too complex. You might never reach the level of a normal mage in your lifetime.”

Chapter 333 Girl and Demon

Soon, the group reached a consensus: Oreki Kimie would sell all the information she had about Luo Feng without reservation, but only the information she knew.

She knew a fair amount of information, but she didn't embellish it or add her own analysis; she provided only the raw, unfiltered intelligence.

For example, who did Luo Feng trick, and roughly how did he trick them?

She knew a lot of information, but not a lot either.

She didn't know much about Luo Feng's power, or rather, as a human, she couldn't see through it at all.

None of them expected to get information about Luo Feng's strength from her, as Serega had already confirmed that Luo Feng was very strong.

“This guy has done so much…” Alice was a little shocked: “The deaths of the previous two thousand people were actually orchestrated by him, as well as the death of Shinomiya Untaka… When I saw the news, I felt something was wrong and connected these things, but I never thought that there was a devil behind it all.”

“This devil is not much different from what I know, except that some things don’t make sense.” Meteora also started to analyze: “Many things are not like the devil’s style in my mind. The devil’s style is to cheat people and get more rewards with the least cost. This devil doesn’t follow this principle much? From my point of view, he is even losing money in some transactions.”

"You're losing out?" Serega asked, looking surprised.

“Yes, there are real devils in our world, but their ways are unlike those of normal devils.” Meteora shook her head. “I’ve also read some books about this world, and they’re similar to the devils in our world.”

"You could say he's an unconventional devil."

“First, let’s rule out the possibility that he’s a demon from a subversive light novel world. He’s a native of this world, and he’s existed a long time ago…” Alice faced her computer and frantically typed on the keyboard: “It’s clear that he’s very good at digging plot holes, but his plot holes aren’t perfect.”

"When others are about to fall into a pit, it's often not because they're stupid, but because they have no other choice."

"The devil in Miss Meteora's mind is someone who uses the trap of transactions to gradually drive people mad, but he will use other circumstances to do things to the extreme."

"So far, it seems that only girls have survived after making a deal with him."

"No, he's not the kind of person who only kills men and not women. According to a previous transaction, a high-achieving career woman suddenly acquired a bunch of guns of unknown origin and the ability to use them. When they found her, she was already a corpse..."

"So, the girl who survived may have already sold her soul to her."

"You're the only one who has never traded with him, because he won't trade with you because you want to..."

"Others also wanted to trade with him, and he did. This devil's way of doing things is really incomprehensible."

After much deliberation, Alice concluded that Luo Feng was a complete oddball.

He does things...

It seems more like it depends on their mood.

Alice least wants to encounter this kind of opponent because they act without any logic, and you can never guess what they're going to do next!

…………

At the same time, outside the izakaya.

Yui Yuigahama unknowingly walked to this place. She felt as if she had been here before, and that something terrifying had happened here.

She couldn't remember anything about what it was.

Click.

Just then, the door of the izakaya opened.

Then, Luo Feng walked out and stretched.

"Hey, here for a drink?" Luo Feng greeted Yui Yuigahama naturally.

He had just returned from Hell, and when he came back, a powerful surge of magical energy emanated from Lucifer's direction, clearly because he was dissatisfied with Gabriel's inaccurate information.

Luo Feng felt absolutely nothing for Yui Yuigahama.

He clearly tricked her terribly, yet he treated her like any other customer, greeting her normally and chatting with her as if nothing had happened. He wasn't the one who tricked her at all.

Upon seeing Luo Feng, Yui Yuigahama instinctively took a step back.

She has been struggling with whether or not to restore her memories, because she doesn't know why they were sealed or who suggested it.

If it were her, and she really remembered some bad things, would it ruin her life?

This is like Pandora's box; once she opens it, the world changes.

"My memories... were they really sealed away by you?" Yui Yuigahama asked tremblingly.

“That’s right, it was me. Yukino asked me to seal it. Do you want to unseal it?” Luo Feng smiled.

This was a simple matter for him.

"I...I haven't thought about it yet. Um, I wanted to ask, would you hurt me?" Yui Yuigahama looked at Luo Feng with a complicated expression.

Why did Ah Xue ask him to seal his memories?

Although she felt a deep-seated fear and trembling towards Luo Feng, she instinctively wanted to get close to him and talk to him more.

She felt that she would be very happy if she could talk to Luo Feng more.

This strange contradiction left her at a loss, unsure of how to face him.

"Why would I hurt you?" Luo Feng looked at Yui Yuigahama with a puzzled expression. "You're so boring."

Since she'd already tricked Yukino, her mission was complete, and there was no reason for her to waste time tricking this ordinary soul.

"When have I ever been bored?"

Yui Yuigahama pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Life is boring, dreams are boring, I have nothing to be passionate about, and no firm beliefs." Luo Feng yawned.

"My dream is very grand!" Yui Yuigahama realized that there was only one sentence that could refute Luo Feng's words.

"Opening a cake shop and marrying into a good family, what a grand dream!" Luo Feng joked. "It's far from Yukino's dream of saving the world. Although her dream is unreliable, she is indeed working hard for it. It's not just wishful thinking, nor is it just chatting and typing on a keyboard in an izakaya."

"Who says this is all my dream is?" Yui Yuigahama walked up to Luo Feng and stared at his face. "When I was little, I even dreamed of being a scientist!"

How do you provoke a girl's anger?

It's simple, just compliment her best friend.

pat.

Luo Feng's large hand landed on her head, and she couldn't help but tremble.

Luo Feng stared intently at her: "Girl, the world of culinary disasters is already overflowing with people."
