Chapter 231: Pitiful

The time they spent together was definitely an unforgettable memory for the two of them.

Still, during this trip, Riser wanted to ask Akeno about her, especially about her father, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

After all, that question would fool the mood on the trip.

Moreover, it was troublesome.

Riser didn't mind helping Akeno to mend her relationship with her father, but everything was based on her decision.

Was she going to just make up with her father just because her father became the leader of the Grigori?

Riser knew that Akeno wasn't that kind of a woman, and she had stood up until now by herself without the help of anyone.

If she didn't ask him to help her mend the relationship between her and her father, then she wouldn't say anything.

Yet, he also knew if he didn't ask, the other would ask, so, at the end of the trip, he decided to ask her. "Akeno, can I ask you something?"

"Hmm?"

Akeno was still unable to wake up from the dreamy trip that they had just taken. Every day was just wonderful. Moreover, with all the acts they had done, it wouldn't be weird if she got pregnant.

"Do you want to do it again, Darling~?"

With the warm yet seductive voice of an older sister who looked helplessly at her lover, Akeno seemed to make an automatic reaction by resting her hand on his pants, gently caressing his little Riser. Her body was still sore, but she could do with her hands and mouth.

If this wasn't enough, she could use her breasts.

Still, if possible, she wanted to tie him up and lock him in the room so he couldn't escape and stay with her "forever."

Riser wasn't sure, but his body shivered due to a cold for some reason. "Is your father Baraqiel?"

"...."

That question instantly erased all the conquestish atmosphere between them.

Akeno was quite awkward and couldn't look straight as she knew that he didn't like the fallen angel that much except her, of course.

If Riser had the ability to read minds, he would say that wasn't the case, especially when three fallen angels almost seduced him.

"You don't need to feel scared. I love everything about you, Akeno."

Still, even if he couldn't read Akeno's mind, it was easy to handle a woman when they were in this state as he only needed to say something that eased her heart like "I love you," "everything will be okay," and many others. There was no need to think too much, thinking seriously, since as long as the woman's negative feelings disappeared, everything was solved.

Akeno felt at ease hearing those words and leaned at him affectionately.

"Yes, he is my father."

"Is that so?"

"...is that all?"

"What do you mean?"

"I... I thought that you wanted to ask me something else..."

Akeno felt confused as Riser only asked that single question.

"What should I ask?"

"Er... like, how strong is Grigori's power? Like how strong is my father? Or what is the weakness of the Grigori?"

Riser lightly tapped Akeno's nose helplessly. "Do you think I am a tyrant that will kill anyone? Don't say something like that again. We, the devils, the fallen angels, and the angels are an ally now. If you say something that will interrupt this peace, I will punish you."

"Then... then... can you punish me now?" Akeno asked as her face flushed in deep, bright red.

"...."

Riser stared at Akeno helplessly.

You damn masochist!

Still, there was something that he needed to remind her of.

"While I think that you might have realized it, Azazel has become a trainer for Rias and her peerage members. More importantly, the Youth Devil Gathering will start soon. I am sure that you will face a "Rating Game" next time. By then—"

"Ah, are you worried about me?"

Akeno quickly realized everything before he even finished his words.

"Isn't it natural?" Riser didn't think there was anything weird about him worrying about his woman.

In this Youth Devil Gathering, there was no doubt Rias would wish to win the "Rating Game" held for this event, and everyone would be working hard under the tutelage of Azazel or others who were asked by Azazel.

Then, there was no doubt the one who was tasked to train Akeno would be Baraqiel, her father.

Riser was sure that even though Azazel wished Akeno and Baraqiel to make up as they were a father and a daughter.

Even though Akeno had been avoiding Baraiqiel, there was no doubt Azazel would set up the meeting between the two even if she didn't wish to.

With her submissive attitude, especially after what she had experienced during her childhood and how she was trained as a Rias' servant, Akeno definitely couldn't reject this meeting, so he might as well remind her.

"Just remember. You are my woman. No one can force you except me."

"...how unreasonable..."

However, strangely enough, her breathing became even harder as she thought about how forceful he was with her, especially during their first day at Takayama. Even now, when she thought about all of that, her nether region tingled lewdly as it secreted a lot of love juice.

"But... what do you think I should do?"

"You really asked me that question?"

Riser looked at Akeno and saw that she was staring at him with an earnest gaze, trusting his every decision. He sighed helplessly inside his heart but held her hands firmly in his palms.

"Akeno, whatever your wish is, I will be on your side."

"Thank you."

Akeno pushed him as she was unable to control her overflowing feeling.

However, inwardly, Riser didn't have a good light toward Akeno's father.

Baraqiel's wife, who was also Akeno's wife, was killed, yet he just let his daughter away like that?

Did he not care about those who were Akeno's well-being, especially when she was cornered by many?

Also, did Baraqiel not feel angry at those Five Principle Clans who drove his wife to death?

Did Baraiqiel just accept the death of his wife was just like that?

While Baraqiel might be Akeno's father and give his everything to his race, if he made an enemy of the Five Principle Clans, he might endanger the whole fallen angels, especially when their race was still fighting against the devil and the angel.

Once again, if Baraqiel was strong enough, there was no need for him to endure all of this.

Unfortunately, weakness has always been a sin.

It was also due to this it was hard for Riser to appreciate Baraqiel, especially when this guy just obediently accepted everything without doing anything.

Then, as he watched Akeno, who rode his waist like a valiant female horse jockey, Riser thought that she was a little pitiful.

After all, whether the father or the daughter, they were all used by others.

However, such a life was no longer for Akeno, especially when he protected her.

Nevertheless, after that trip, Riser returned to the Underworld as he needed to prepare his "Rating Game" with the Top 3 along with many others, as there were many things that he needed to finish, especially for someone of his status.

As for Akeno, she returned to her everyday life.

"It's a gift from Takayama. You can try all of them."

"Thank you, Akeno-san!"

Issei, Asia, Kiba, and Gasper were happy as they saw many souvenirs from Takayama brought by Akeno.

"It's good."

Azazel even joined as he munched on the mochi.

However, Akeno noticed the strangeness of Koneko. "What's wrong, Koneko? Are you not joining?" With Koneko's gluttony, it was impossible for Koneko to remain calm with all the food she brought from Takayama.

Koneko's body tensed, hesitating, but—

"Akeno."

Akeno tried to suppress the uncomfortable feeling in her heart as she answered Rias impeccably. "What's wrong, Rias?"

"It's been a while, but how about we sleep together tonight?" Rias asked with a gentle smile.

"....."
