Marlene flashed a knowing smile. "I know you might find it interesting," she said confidently. "How about we become friends? All I'm asking for is your friendship. If you're up for it, I can help you try to form a contract with the demon beast."

"You're saying we become friends, and you'll give me all this access?" he queried.

Marlene paused before nodding. "Yes," she confirmed. "I'm one of the Champions of Gluttony, so I have the power to help you with the Demon Beast. If you agree to be my friend, I can assist you. Simple, right?"

Broken paused, weighing the potential risks of this arrangement.

Alliances with clear terms were fine, but friendship? Usually, those developed over time.
