Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 260: You, too, leave

Chapter 260: You, too, leave

Riser thought he would be late, but fortunately, with a talented manager by his side, it was impossible for him to be late.

"Listen, Kuroka. You have listened to me when you arrive at the Gremory domain, okay?" Ravel looked at Kuroka with a stern expression. Unlike the others who listened to her, Kuroka, whose background was a stray, was so naughty.

"Okay, nyaa~! Okay, nyaa~!"

Kuroka answered lazily as she yawned before she slept on Riser's lap since her morning exercise was too tough.

"You only need to answer me once!" Ravel reprimanded this naughty cat as she sighed, wondering why her Onii-sama needed to bring this cat, but she also understood that Kuroka was the older sister of Koneko, so she didn't feel surprised by this incident. "Onii-sama, what if someone asks about Kuroka?"

"Just say that it is dangerous to leave her alone. By my side, she won't run away."

"...."

What a powerful excuse...

No one could deny it as they knew Riser was the strongest devil currently.

"By the way, I will modify your Mocking Gears later."

Riser suddenly remembered that he had many new abilities, and those abilities were suitable to be added to their Mocking Gears.

"Okay."

No one disagreed as the power of the Mocking Gears was powerful, and no one rejected having a strong power.

"I want one too, nyaa!" Kuroka asked in a spoiled tone as she rubbed her cheek onto little Riser.

"You are a criminal." Riser looked at Kuroka speechlessly. "Why are you acting like a spoiled baby here?"

"Then, after you punish me, you can give later, okay, nyaa?"

"....."

Riser didn't bother to talk as he let out a relaxed sigh, watching the beautiful scenery before him.

---

While his trip was a bit messy, Riser finally arrived at the Gremory domain, and naturally, he was greeted by Lord Gremory, Lady Gremory, and also Serafall.

"Riser-chan~!"

As Serafall jumped into Riser, Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory also welcomed him.

"Welcome, Lucifer-sama."

Hearing that greeting, Riser looked at Lord Gremory, trying to see something in his expression, but he saw nothing, so he didn't bother to cause trouble. "You don't need to be polite, Gremory-dono."

Still, hearing Riser's answer, Lord Gremory sighed as he knew that it was impossible for their relationship to be like before. Initially, they could be father-in-law and son-in-law, but it was too late by then. Moreover, he couldn't even feel a trace of affection when Riser called his daughter's name, which disappointed him.

Moreover—

"Lucifer-sama, this match..."

"It's okay." Facing the two, Riser was calm. "I am not small-minded enough about the result of this match. If Rias is better than my wife, then I will congratulate you two, and I am sure that my wife will use this experience, so she will be better next time."

Yet, could Rias even win?

When Serafall, Riser's peerage members, and Kuroka heard this, they fell in silence, thinking that Riser was such a bad guy.

Whether Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory weren't stupid, and they knew Riser thought that his wife would win. They also thought the same, especially when they knew it was impossible for him to let his wife lose, but they also wished for a miracle to be happy so their daughter would win.

Still, the best thing for them was that the result of this "Rating Game" would be a draw, so Sona, Rias, and the family behind them wouldn't be embarrassed.

However, everyone knew the reality wouldn't work that way.

To be honest, if Riser told them Rias to lose, Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory wouldn't do anything and might even ask Rias to lose deliberately so they could gain favor with the current Lucifer.

No, if they want to gain Riser's favor, they need to tell Rias to lose, yet would she even listen to them?

Nevertheless, Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory could only sigh as the weak was the original sin.

If there was something grateful about Serafall having been taking care of Rias from childhood and the relationship between Rias and Sone being rather good, and with their characters, the two knew it was impossible for Sona to win with a dirty method,

The only variable was Riser, as no one could predict what he was thinking.

Would he really not get angry if Sona lost to Rias?

Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory couldn't answer that question.

Still, they didn't talk too much and quickly entered the hall where all the important guests who were invited gathered to watch the match between Rias and Sona.

However, everyone quickly bowed their heads when they felt the familiar aura that made all of them bow down.

When Riser came, he used "villain" and conquered everyone.

Still, it was Kuroka's first time seeing this, and her eyes became even more obsessed as she watched Riser's back.

"Riser-kun!"

Michael waved his hand happily when he saw Riser.

"Michael."

The two greeted each other warmly.

There is no doubt the alliance between the angel and the devil was great as they helped each other.

Still, Michael really wanted to make their relationship closer by having someone as strong as Riser by their side. After all, he knew without Riser, this alliance was as good as nothing. Suddenly, a picture of a certain angel emerged on his head. He hesitated before, but now?

Michael felt that everything was worth it.

As the two talked, no one approached them, and they maintained their distance in a respectful manner.

Even Lord Gremory and Lady Gremory, the owner of this venue, did that.

Even more, the current governor of Grigori, Baraqiel, was the same.

At the moment, except for Maous and Michael, no one has had a right to interrupt their conversation.

"Michael, is it me, or have you thought something bad on your mind?" Serafall asked with doubt.

"How could you doubt me as the leader of heaven, Serafall?" Michael asked with a gentle smile.

"...."

Serafall squinted her eyes, but Michael never changed his expression. "Oh, right, I bring someone you are familiar with."

Suddenly, a familiar figure with twin tails and colored hair appeared behind Michael. "Lu-Lucifer-sama." She was nervous, but she peeked at Riser from time to time as she tried to appear as respectful as possible.

"Oh, Shidou-san? It's been a while."

"No, no! Please call me Irina! It feels strange if a Lucifer-sama calls me Shidou-san!"

"Then, I will call you that, and you should call me Riser instead of Lucifer, okay?"

Irina was a bit embarrassed, but she nodded. "Riser-sama." ,

Riser nodded, then asked, "Have you met Xenovia?"

"No-Not yet. Can I meet her?" Irina asked curiously, but she was full of expectation.

"I don't mind. You can meet her after her "Rating Game," but you should ask permission from your boss first."

"Ah!" Irina Shidou looked at Michael awkwardly.

Michael still maintained his smile. "Sure, you can go, Irina."

"Thank you, Michael-sama!"

At this moment, watching this cheerful girl, Michael was glad to meet Irina.

"Is she the reincarnated angel?" Riser asked curiously.

"Yes." Michael nodded. "She is my "Ace."

"Are you sure? She is kind of stupid, you know?" Riser looked at Michael with doubt.

"What do you mean by that Riser-sama?!" Irina complained.

The atmosphere between them was warm, and it was full of laughter, showing the good relationship between the devils and the angels.

Watching this, Baraqiel felt envious, wondering whether his daughter could get close to Riser.

"Hey, hey, what are you talking about? Can you let me join?"

Suddenly, another familiar noise was heard.

Still, due to this voice, the good atmosphere directly disappeared.

Baraqiel closed his eyes and sighed.

Azazel entered the venue as if he had a close relationship with everyone.

Yet—

"Leave."

Riser only said a single word. "I have told you before, right? Next time you shouldn't come. I don't need your presence here. Don't make me repeat myself."

"....."

Azazel's smile turned stiff as he could feel everyone was staring at him, telling him to leave with their eyes. He didn't expect Riser to be serious last time, and he knew pressing further would only anger him, which was something that he didn't want to do, especially after he knew the real culprit behind everything, but he wouldn't give up so easily.

"No, he shouldn't leave, as he will be my companion."

Behind Azazel, another figure appeared as he walked into the venue with a smile.

Riser squinted his eyes and thought that another trouble was coming.

Only—

"You, too, leave."
