Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 250: Special Circumstance

Chapter 250: Special Circumstance

"Swordsmanship, huh? Okay."

Sona never thought of learning swordsmanship, but after hearing her husband's suggestion, she decided to agree as she was also quite curious about swordsmanship, especially when she often saw that Xenovia was trained by Riser.

"So... So-chan is going to become a female warrior! Onee-chan needs to prepare bikini armor for So-chan~!"

"You don't need to!" 2x

Riser and Sona quickly stopped Serafall at the same time.

Nevertheless, as Riser had promised to teach Sona swordsmanship, he taught her a single technique. It was also the same case as Xenovia and Tomoe. If there was a year or two, then it might be possible to teach all the techniques, but there was only a month, and one technique should be enough to strike down many opponents.

However—

'Bikini armor, huh?'

Riser looked at Sona and Serafall at the same time. Usually, he should only look at Sona, but he was afraid his wife would notice his strange gaze, so he looked at Serafall. That way, Sona wouldn't notice anything strange.

"Do you want to see us in bikini armor, Riser-chan~?" Serafall asked.

"....."

"Is that so?" Sona pushed the frame of her glasses. "Wait for tonight."

"Um." Riser didn't refuse his wife's kindness. "I will go back first. I need to finish some work. I will check on you later."

"Yes." Sona nodded, then kissed Riser's lips. "Do your best."

Riser was stunned but then kissed Sona's forehead before he left, as the faster he finished his word, the faster he could rest.

Serafall was about to follow, but her collar was grabbed by Sona.

"Cough! Cough! So-chan! Your Onee-chan can't breathe ~!"

"I am sorry."

Even so, there didn't seem to be an apologetic expression on Sona's face.

"..."

While Serafall was speechless, she asked with a happy smile. "Is So-chan lonely without your Onee-chan? If so, then Onee-chan will stay with So-chan all the time~! Onee-chan will become So-chan's cheerleader~!"

"No, you don't need to."

"Ah, um."

Even Serafall had always been 100% cheerful, facing this stoic Sona; she could only shut her mouth. "So, what's wrong, So-chan~?" So why did Sona tell her to stay?

"Do you like my husband?"

"....."

For the first time in her life, Serafall was unable to say anything.

---

Riser didn't know the conversation between Serafall and Sona as he was focused on something else, which was his job, but suddenly, someone knocked on his room, opened the door, and peeked inside timidly.

"Riser-sama..."

"What's wrong, Ni?"

"Well..." Ni wasn't sure how to talk about her problem, and she could see Riser was quite busy, so she hesitated.

"Is it Koneko?"

"How did you know, Riser-sama?" Ni was surprised.

"...."

Even Riser didn't need to guess why Ni came to his office. He had previously asked Ni and Li to teach Koneko, but since Ni came to him, there should be a problem with Koneko. However, he didn't feel surprised as all the peerage members that were collected by Rias had a problem.

Unlike Sona and Riser, who used their own ability to gain all of their peerage members, all the peerage members collected by Rias came from her older brother. To be honest, unless one was tempted by the benefit gained from becoming the servants of the devil or a special circumstance, they wouldn't become a reincarnated devil, a devil with the lowest status in the Underworld.

Yes, the lowest status.

In the eyes of all the devils, the reincarnated devil wasn't a devil, and they were just a fake. Naturally, they felt those reincarnated devils were lower than those who were pure-blooded.

However, power changed everything.

As long as one was strong enough, they would be respected.

It was the same case with Tannin and Rudiger Rosenkreutz, but at the same time, it was also due to their status that they were caught in their current trouble.

Tannin's situation was a mess, and Rudiger could only stay low-key, avoiding the limelight so he wouldn't be hit by the aftermath of Tannin's problem.

However, if Tannin was strong enough, this wasn't a problem.

Unfortunately, Tannin was weak, so he was unable to change the status quo or even defeat Riser and all the devils in the Underworld.

Nevertheless, there must be a reason why one decided to become a reincarnated devil, but Riser couldn't imagine how Akeno, who was the child of the leader of Grigori, Baraqiel, would become Rias' servant. After all, he had heard that even if she had lost her mother, her life wasn't that bad, but in the end, due to special circumstances, she decided to become Rias' servant.

While there might not be evidence, Riser somehow could imagine that all of the special circumstances that happened to Akeno must be related to Rias' family. It should be the same case with Kiba, Gasper, and even Koneko.

While Riser wasn't sure what was happening to Koneko, he knew that Koneko's situation must be related to Koneko's special circumstances. He took a deep breath and thought to take a moment of break to talk with Koneko.

"Let's go. I will talk with her."

"Okay, nyaa~!"

---

In the corner of the Underworld, a group of people had been hiding. Unlike the Earth, the population of the Underworld was smaller, and there were many places that still lacked modernization, making it a perfect place for one to hide.

Still, many things happened to this group, and they were in unrest, especially when they didn't know who they should face.

Similarly, a young man with a monkey-like feature was staring at the purple sky, wondering who had attacked Vali and what kind of enemies they would face.

"Bikou, wake up, nyaa~!"

However, suddenly, he was kicked by someone and fell to the ground.

"Kuroka, what are you doing, you stupid cat?!"

Bikuo was furious as he faced the young woman who kicked on the butts.

"Stop showing your stupid face. Come and help me."

A beautiful young woman with two cat-like tails and a black kimono, which she put in a vulgar way, showing her deep ravine between her big breasts.

"I am not showing a stupid face! I am in the middle of deep thinking!" Bikou protested as he rubbed his butts, but then he asked curiously, "Help with what?"

"Let's get my little sister."

"....."

Bikou looked at Kuroka in disbelief. "Are you serious?!"

"Of course, I am serious!" Kuroka looked at Bikou without the joke-like attitude she usually showed. "I can't entrust my little sister to the Gremory. Those devils are all cunning and evil beings! I don't want to lose Shirone..."

She knew how dangerous the situation of the supernatural world was, and it was better for her little sister to follow her instead of joining the dangerous elements such as the Gremory.

Still, Kuroka hadn't heard an answer from Bikou, so she asked, "Are you scared, Bikou?"

"Wh-Who is scared?!" Bikou quickly refuted, but he told her his concern. "But are you sure that you can take her? The new Lucifer is different, you know? The moment he notices us, we might be attacked." Unlike the previous Lucifer, he knew how aggressive the new Lucifer was, but—

"Isn't that good?" Kuroko grinned dangerously as she licked her lower lip. "I want to see how strong our new Lucifer is."

The two smiled and thought that it was a good chance to see how strong the new Lucifer was.
