"Are you having fun?"

"How could I not?"

"Life is too long. That's why we need a story like this. I always say this, but your work is too outstanding. I just want to express my gratitude for having entertained me over the past few days. What do you think? Do you want a glass of wine?"

"Thank you, Belial."

"It seemed to have corrupted him perfectly."

"Because he had problems from the beginning."

"Being able to bring that out is also a talent. There is no human being in the world who can completely turn away from darkness. Bringing out the darkness in the human mind, hiding it inside, and stimulating corrupt desires... Isn't that the direction that we, demons, should go to? It may feel like nothing, but your cunning and disgusting tongue has a trick to it that awakens darkness. You have a talent to poke in a very small gap and stimulate it."

"The brighter one is, the better he engages with the darkness."

"..."

"..."

"So far..."

"..."

"I've seen a lot of trash so far, but you're really way worse. You are an amazing human. Enough to make me speechless. Haha."

'Director Bell, is that a compliment? Or an insult?'

"I can pull out their darkest desires because I truly shine. Fuhahehehehehe!"

"Disgusting human! No, you're a disgusting demon! Hahahahaha!"

There seemed to be a reason why Belial was the one who responded to my soul and magic among so many demons.

"So, what are you going to do next?"

"I don't know. I haven't decided yet. I'd like to prepare a wonderful stage since it turned out like this. Still, there are many variables."

"Hmmm... is that so? Variables... okay. Variables..."

After shaking off the silver light showing hostility to Belial, I took a sip from the wine again.

"You're thinking about what happens after."

"Yes. It's not perfect yet, but it something like that."

He nodded as if he understood it. I didn't explain anything, but I felt like he agreed with me.

Maybe he thought that it was right to use what I had started properly.

Well, I didn't put in a tremendous effort, but still, it was a lot of work, so he probably thought it was only proper to see if it was worth it as a puzzle. I couldn't deny that I got a quite usable card.

Emotionally, regardless of being a puzzle or not, I wanted to kill him in a single whipping, but rationally speaking, it was better to give him a role.

I thought I could use him more than I initially expected...

'The demon contractor.'

No, no, the demon itself.

Although that may be a little too much, it was difficult to ignore the picture that came to mind.

'I think I can really pull it off.'

The reason Jihye was working while minimizing contact with me was to avoid Lucifer's eyes. However, it was also to collect her achievements.

Assuming she knew what my contract with Lucifer was, the justification of her actions was even more pronounced.

'She thinks she needs divinity.'
