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

The angrier you get, the happier I am. I love it when you're angry but can't do anything about it.

Luo Feng's mind raced. Since he couldn't get enough pleasure from you, he would get it from someone else.

With a wave of his hand, Houtarou Oreki turned into black and white, while Kimie Oreki turned into color.

"Luo Feng." Oreki Kimie took a deep breath upon seeing Luo Feng: "Did I pass the trial?"

“Passed. From today onwards, you are a true devil.” Luo Feng placed his large hand on her head.

Knowledge about hell and certain abilities were instilled into her.

At this moment, her soul was elevated; she was no longer a human being who had nothing after death, but a demonic soul.

Unfortunately, since she wasn't driven by extreme evil or transformed into a demon after being unjustly killed, her achievements were destined to be limited.

Luo Feng didn't care about that; what he needed now were other things.

"Your brother's and sister-in-law's souls are now in your hands. You defeated a trainee demon with a mortal body. You're quite impressive," Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you for the compliment." Oreki Kimie felt a sense of relief as she experienced everything she had received.

The souls of my younger brother and sister-in-law are with me; I don't need to worry about what happens after they die.

"Do you know what happened on this deserted island?" Luo Feng asked.

In their current statements, there is no mention of Luo Feng at all; they all instinctively avoid mentioning him, and no one wants to bring him up.

"In my opinion, it was your intervention that allowed them to survive."

"Indeed, I must say, your sister-in-law is truly wonderful!"

Oreki Kimie's expression changed.

Although she had been mentally prepared, she still felt very uncomfortable when Luo Feng said those words.

But considering that Eriri only knew Kato Megumi, and in the end her whole family was ruined by Luo Feng, she still doesn't regret her decision.

"Can we seal away this memory of hers..." Oreki Kimie said in a deep voice, "Let them act as if nothing ever happened."

"Tsk, this makes it seem like I'm getting something for free." Luo Feng said with a half-smile, "Are you sure?"

“Confirmed!” Oreki Kimie nodded.

Let's take care of things before he dies, and then we can talk about the future.

"Please don't reopen this wound," Oreki Kimie continued, "The price I'll pay is..."

"Consider this your salary for the past ten years." Luo Feng yawned. "It's all irrelevant to me."

"Thank you..."

"For the next ten years, you can forget about going on business trips. Just obediently collect souls for me. I'll have Death give you your monthly quota."

"it is good!"

"So, are you happy to be a devil?"

"I'm so happy, my long-cherished wish has come true."

Luo Feng snapped his fingers.

That concludes the setup.

This time, he sealed off Oreki Kimie and unlocked Oreki Eru's potential.

"Hey, hey, hey? It's you..."

Eru Oreki was startled.

Looking at the scene before her, she frantically shook Oreki Houtarou, but time outside had been stopped by Luo Feng, so how could she possibly shake him?

"Oh, poor child, she didn't even know she was being sold." Luo Feng looked at Oreki Eru with a helpless expression.

"Sold, sold?" Oreki Eru was completely bewildered. What did she mean by being sold?

"Do you know how all of this happened...?"

The things that she had told Houtarou Oreki before were gradually revealed to Eru Oreki.

Oreki Eru is not Oreki Houtarou. She has a strong curiosity, but her talent for deduction is not something everyone possesses; it is a terrifying gift.

Houtarou Oreki completely trusts Kimie Oreki, but what about Eru Oreki?

"She put you in danger for her own selfish reasons." Luo Feng put his hands behind his back. "And he doesn't want to blame his sister."

Here, Luo Feng once again uses a fallacy of equivocation.

"Houtarou, you don't blame her?" Oreki Eru trembled.

That kind of thing happened, right in front of you, and you don't blame her?

What is my place in your heart? Am I dispensable to you?

"Hmm, Houtarou clearly knew about my conversation with her, but he still didn't blame her." Luo Feng reversed the order and showed Oreki Eru his conversation with Oreki Kimie.

Let's act like nothing ever happened? Freebies? Sealing my memories? My long-cherished wish fulfilled?

What does she take me for?!

Eru Oreki initially trusted Kimie Oreki and liked her older sister very much; Kimie was indeed very good to her. But now? She's treating her like a tool, a tool for the devil, a tool for advancement!

I am none other than your brother's wife!

Your brother's head was covered in green, and you just said, "My long-cherished wish has been fulfilled?"

Do I look the same to those women in nightclubs in your eyes?

Airu Oreki trembled with anger, thinking about the days she spent with Oreki Kimie and comparing them to her current situation.

The despair of being betrayed by someone close to you is something only those who have experienced it can truly understand.

If you can't understand it, just watch those TV dramas where mothers make their daughters raise their younger brothers and end up ruining the daughters' lives.

"Houtarō trusts his sister, but has he considered your feelings? Or rather, have the two of them considered your feelings? They have a deep bond between siblings, but what are you to them?"

Luo Feng continued to entice him.

"No, Houtarou wouldn't do that!" Oreki Eru stood up abruptly. "I believe Houtarou. It must be you who did this. There must be something else I don't know. I want him to explain to me. I don't want to hear your explanation!"

"Is that so?" Luo Feng smiled with pleasure. Humans, they really don't dare to face their own creatures.

She is different from Houtarou Oreki. Everything Houtarou Oreki does is based on evidence, while this girl is just deceiving herself.

Luo Feng could completely understand the despair in her heart.

The devil can intuitively sense human emotions, and this girl's heart is now even more desperate than it was when she was with Oreki Houtarou.

She felt guilty and remorseful for sacrificing herself to save Houtarou Oreki, for the sake of her lover, but her heart was resolute; she knew she had done the right thing.

But now, she knows that everything started because of Oreki Kimie, and that Oreki Houtarou has forgiven his sister. What should she do?

She couldn't force Oreki Houtarou to do anything to his sister; she couldn't do anything and had to bear it all alone.

Coupled with the grievances she had suffered these past few days, she was completely overwhelmed and, in the end, had no choice but to vent by shouting.

"Then I will seal your memories as agreed. This is a gift from Oreki Kimie to you." Luo Feng stretched out his large hand and placed it on her head.

"No, no, please don't erase my memories, waaaaaah..."

Eru Oreki burst into tears.

Although this memory is heartbreaking, causing her to break down and despair, if she forgets it, it's equivalent to forgetting the harm others have done to her, and continuing to be a naive and innocent person who has never experienced anything.

She couldn't accept that kind of life!

"Beg? Begging is useless."

A golden light flashed, and Oreki Eru slowly collapsed.

During this period, my memories of myself have been faded and sealed away.

She still had a last bit of trust in Houtarou, and it was indeed true love.

However, at the moment of her death, the moment her soul is released, her mindset will completely return to the present, and her memories will be unlocked.

What kind of young couples are the hardest to break up? Those who have just started dating.

As time goes on, all sorts of problems will surface, and then things will be different.

She would unleash the memories of that time, and combine them with some minor arguments that would arise later, thus amplifying these arguments infinitely.

She would feel that it was all Houtarou's fault, that he disliked her, and that he still disliked her even though she had given so much for him.

Then, she would tell them that the so-called "husband's wife" was just a dream.

How sweet must it be to witness the despair of a soul's birth, the irreparable rift?

Luo Feng couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this.

Live life to the fullest; the happier you are while you're alive, the more you'll suffer after you die.

Then, I won't be the one to handle this problem anymore. Aren't you Oreki Kimie's spirits? Go find her.

It's interesting that Oreki Kimie is grateful even though she didn't actually do anything.

Chapter 496 Meeting the Parents

December 31st, that day.

"Ha...ah..."

Sora Ginko yawned as she looked at the scenery outside.

It's clear she's very nervous right now.

She and Luo Feng are now on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka, their destination being Sora Ginko's house.

Luo Feng, with such convenient teleportation, why do you still need to take the Shinkansen?

A sense of ritual is sometimes very important.

It's like giving a birthday present; if you personally drive a Ferrari to deliver it, that's genuine sincerity, more genuine than real gold.

The rescue team's boat is still at sea and will be back in a few days.

The situation has now been clarified: there were only a handful of survivors, or rather, the fact that there were even a handful of survivors can be considered a miracle.
