    "Yes, you can be a demon merchant," Belphegor responded but his voice made it sound like I was extorting information out of him. He should have known that this day woulde when he choose to be a devil merchant.


    "Why stop there, uh, Belphegor why? You know what I am going to ask you next, so why not just tell me how I can be a demon merchant before I ask?" I asked the devil, seeing that it continued to answer just what I asked it to and nothing more.


    "Would you believe my answer if you did not ask the question using my true name?" The devil was right. I would not believe any information it voluntarily gave me but if it were to do so then I can use it to understand what it was scheming.


    "You are right. Belphegor, be dear and tell me how I can be a demon merchant," As of now, I had no idea as to what were the benefits of bing a demon merchant except for gaining the merchant copy of the devil merchant code. But there must be something that drove all these demons and devils to willingly be suppressed by the devil merchant code to be demon/devil code.


    As for what I was nning to do with the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code, it was pretty obvious. I wanted to level the ying field between me and Belphegor. The merchants yed by a different set of rulespared to the customers.


    "For you to be a demon merchant there are three ways,


    1. Be chosen by devil merchant code.


    2. Get rmendations from three demon merchants.


    3. Get a rmendation from one devil merchant.


    For one to be chosen by the devil merchant code they need to be a demon in the dark realm. So you can forget option number one however you can try your luck with the other two options," Belphegor briefly exined the three ways one could be a demon merchant and that only two of them worked for me.


    But what intrigued me most was that in this conversation Belphegor addressed the devil merchant code as if it were a living entity. Causing my interest in devil merchant code to peak.


    Why would I be interested in devil merchant code? The devil merchant code could suppress the power of strong pride-filled devils and make them willingly submit to it. It could help them suppress the suppression of the world''s will of their customer''s world. And now I learn that it could choose who gets to be a demon/devil merchant as if it had a mind of its own. I would not be me if I were not intrigued by such an existence.


    "Belphegor, you are a devil," I said, ncing at the devil endearingly.


    "..." Belphegor looked at his customer dumbfoundedly. He was without words. He was here to trick this customer of his into selling his special mortal soul not to rmend him to be a demon merchant.


    "Belphegor,e on, don''t act like a stranger now," I said, moving closer to the jet-ck monster worm.


    "You need to know that every devil/demon merchant gets one rmendation per decade," Belphegor said, realizing he was in the presence of a shameless being, and a simple no would not be sufficient to get it off his back.


    "Great. Belphegor, you must have saved many rmendations in your lifetime," I had decided to be a demon merchant not just to get the merchant copy of the devil merchant code but to get close to the devil merchant code.


    "..." Belphegor was astonished by the shamelessness of his customer and thought, ''That''s what you gathered from what I just said.''


    "Belphegor, don''t be shy. You must have saved quite a lot of rmendations, lend me one," I said standing next to the jet-ck monster worm.


    "A demon/devil merchant cannot umte the rmendations they get per decade. If they don''t use it in the given decade then the rmendation expires," Belphegor announced.


    "That''s even better. Belphegor, lend me your rmendation and when I be a demon merchant I will lend you mine," I said immediately.


    "Demon/Devil merchants cannot trade their rmendations among themselves," Belphegor said and hurriedly added, "I am not going to give you my rmendation. Just forget it. Do you even n to save that girl or not?"


    "That means you have not used your rmendation for this decade yet. Great," I was enthused to hear Belphegor had not used his rmendation yet.


    "Did you not just hear me say I will not give you my rmendation?" Belphegor would have left already if two special mortal souls weren''t at stake.


    "Belphegor, what happened to you can get me anything for a fee? I want your rmendation to be a demon merchant name your price," I know Belphegor wouldn''t just give me his rmendation but there was a point to me acting shameless.


    Now I knew exactly how precious the rmendation of a devil/demon merchant was. Had I directly asked Belphegor to exchange his rmendation for a price I would be walking into a fierce negotiation blind. But now I had no problem leading the negotiation.


    "Wait, what about that girl?" the jet-ck monster worm asked pointing its head toward the one-sided battle between Anna and the semi-demigod chick.


    "What about her?" I asked Belphegor feigning ignorance.


    As for Anna, Belphegor wanted the battle between Anna and the semi-demigod chick tost longer. Because the only way Belphegor could get two special mortal souls at the price of one was if I asked him to help save Anna. Only in that way, he could descend into this world with his full prowess with the help of the devil merchant code and kill the semi-demigod chick to fulfill my desire. Ultimately allowing him to harvest her and my soul.


    "Don''t y dumb with me," Belphegor shouted


    "Buddy, calm down. What''s wrong? Tell big brother, what''s troubling you,"
