This chapter begins with a description of a game called "kick the can." In this game, the devil captures all the souls of those who have escaped from hell. This is a very simple game, but it's a game that's played all over the world. The devil wears a sword, and the angel carries a cane. This game is called "squishing the devil" because the devil is able to squeeze all the "warmth" out of the souls that the angel squeezes out of them. Ooh, that sounds like a lot of fun. The narrator goes on to say that if the devil gets any faster, he's going to have to wear the devil's clothes all the time. He also says that he tried to make the devil wear maki , but he couldn't get him to speak. He says that if they really fought all out, then maki would be the tougher of the two. He's not sure why he chose this game. He thinks that it was a good idea because it made him feel better, and he got a "roaring inferno" of his own.
