In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.

Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly gripped the secret letter from his mother.

To be honest, if all these powers were gathered together, even the big shots of the Lower Planes or the great gods of Mount Celestia would be startled. This power, while not enough to unify the multiverse, is certainly enough to carve out a territory and establish its own domain. However, the Yugoloths do not seek dominance but commercial profit, and their organization is not tightly knit. They are a commercial alliance rather than a political entity, so most people do not know how powerful they are.

Those who do know are only secretly wary and dare not act against them—because they are simply too formidable. You can deal with a single, small Yugoloth merchant guild or trade group, but if you try to take on the entire Yugoloth trade network that spans the multiverse, you might as well give up. Only a god like the Overlord of All could manage it; anyone else would fail.

Moreover, everyone knows that the Yugoloths' alignment is Neutral Evil. While there are a few exceptions, the majority are Neutral Evil, with about 15% being Chaotic Evil or Lawful Evil, and the remaining 5% being mostly Neutral, with perhaps a couple of exceptions like the protagonist succubus, who occasionally leans towards Good.

Back then, unlike now, commercial laws and financial regulations were not well-established, and there were no five insurances or one fund, employment contracts, or anything like that. In such a large-scale business, how many underhanded dealings must there be? It's impossible to count. How many dirty hands must there be? Again, it's impossible to count.

This Yugoloth merchant, Delmont, may seem to be just running a small杂货铺, but he actually has considerable influence. He can't reach the top-tier Yugoloth merchants, large financial groups, or major guilds, but he can connect with those one or two levels below. The jobs he can take on, if all done by the protagonist succubus alone, would take several lifetimes to complete. The key is that new situations always arise, and the number of jobs is never fixed.

Thus, the protagonist succubus became a killer under Delmont's employ. At first, the jobs were in Narathel. The targets were sometimes demons, sometimes vampires, sometimes killings, and sometimes protection. With the protagonist succubus's skills, she did well. She could kill anyone she was told to kill and protect anyone she was told to protect, rarely failing.

Additionally, her performance in the gladiatorial arena made her a sought-after figure. Gradually, she gained a reputation in the trade. While not the most powerful, everyone in the Narathel area knew of her.

Thus, the protagonist succubus's life stabilized. She had a decent job, could earn experience by killing monsters, had food, drink, and a place to stay. The incident with Sid had no further developments, and it seemed to be over. The protagonist succubus was a rather laid-back person. Although she occasionally thought, "I am not my true self now, but one day, I will achieve great things," these thoughts were just thoughts. Demons theoretically have infinite lifespans, and the protagonist succubus thought she had plenty of time to just get by for now.

Three months passed in the Abyss, where the concept of time is almost non-existent. There are no seasons, no dry or rainy seasons, no annals, and no calendars. Only the more refined vampires and the like might use the calendar of the Prime Material Plane to mark the passage of time. For most demons, life is just a matter of getting by.

The protagonist succubus, during these three months, did not encounter any major events and thus lived in a daze. She felt as if she were possessed by some malevolent force or assimilated by the world's essence, lacking energy.

Sitting backward on a chair in Delmont's shop, the protagonist succubus, showing off her balance, leaned forward, lifting the back two legs off the ground, leaving only the front two legs on the floor. Still unsatisfied, she leaned to the left, lifting one of the back legs. With three legs in the air, she pressed her chest against the back of the chair, swaying to maintain balance. While swaying, she said to Delmont:

"So, that's how it is."

"What do you mean? Can't you sit still? If you break the chair, how much will you pay me?" Delmont, who was taking inventory, asked.

"Anyway, is there any interesting, lucrative, and easy job? Like a village full of beautiful girls being attacked by a dragon that eats a virgin every day. I could go and slay it."

"There isn't. Slaying dragons, even in the Abyss, is a hidden quest. Besides, are you sure you can defeat an adult dragon?"

"If I can't, I can use my wits," the protagonist succubus said matter-of-factly. "I can starve it to death."

"…Alright, stop talking nonsense." Delmont said, "If such a good opportunity existed, do you think it would be your turn? I would go myself. Look at this." He handed her a papyrus document. The protagonist succubus took it and read it. It was a simple escort mission, from Narathel to the depths of the Ice Sea to the south, where there is an ice fissure. The journey is not long, about 200 to 300 kilometers. With fast horses, it would take three days; on foot, it would take one to two weeks. The reward was substantial, 2,000 gold coins, enough for the protagonist succubus to live comfortably for a while.

"This sounds too good. What's the catch?" The protagonist succubus, still swaying the chair, asked, waving the document and making it rustle.

"The catch is the cold," Delmont said. "Most demons don't like cold places. They prefer boiling oil and fire, but not wind and snow."

"I don't like it either. Did you forget? I'm a demon too."

"You are different."

"How am I different?"

"Aren't you immune to holy water?"

"That doesn't cure the cold!"

"Then look at this." Delmont handed her another papyrus document. It depicted a dignified middle-aged man, drawn with great skill, making him look very impressive. Below the drawing was a line of small text: "Dead or alive. 2,000 gold coins."

The protagonist succubus, being shrewd, understood Delmont's intention when he showed her the two documents. She looked up at Delmont and said, "The person you want to escort and the one you want dead or alive is the same, right?"

"Yes," Delmont nodded.

"Who is he?"

"He is a vampire, claiming to be an outsider manager of the Cullen family, but few have ever seen him, even within the Cullen family," Delmont said.

"Go on."

"Go on… hehe…" Delmont chuckled but said nothing.

The protagonist succubus understood his meaning—he wanted money. But she pretended not to know, pouted, and scolded him:

"You always talk about how powerful your people are, how the Yugoloth trade network spans the multiverse, and how you can find any information. Now I see that your words are as good as hot air. Forget it. Don't tell anyone you know me; I can't afford to lose face."

After scolding Delmont, without waiting for his response, the protagonist succubus stuffed both papyrus documents into her pocket and stood up to leave.

She didn't say she would take the job, but she didn't say she wouldn't either. Delmont assumed she had accepted it and became a bit anxious as she was about to leave: "What are you going to do? Kill him or protect him?"

"It depends on my mood!" the protagonist succubus replied, then opened the shop door and walked out—without closing it.

"Damn it," Delmont shook his head, went over to close the door, and then sat back on the chair where the protagonist succubus had been performing her acrobatics—only to hear a "crack" as the chair leg broke.
