Chapter 271: Weight

"Why is Rossweisse-san here?" Sona looked at Rossweisse, who stood on the side of Ravel. She knew that her husband and Ravel were going to Japan for a holiday trip. While she wished to join, she couldn't, as it meant she would skip school if she wished to join the trip.

While it didn't matter to skip for a few days, she had skipped so many times, so it felt quite awkward to do it, especially when she was at the president council of her school.

Still, Sona was curious why Rossweisse was present.

"Right now, I am working as Riser-sama's bodyguard! I am no longer that old fart's bodyguard!"

To show her loyalty to Riser, if Rossweisse saw Odin, she might not hesitate to spit on that old fart. Yet, if one knew what had happened to her, no one would blame her. Moreover, the salary given by Riser was so much!

Rossweisse believed that as long as she worked for a few years, she might be able to have a leisurely retirement before 30!

Only the rest were speechless as they watched Rossweisse change. They knew each other during her visit to the match between Sona and Rias. It was also because of this they would never expect steadfast and reliable Valkryie, who always checked Odin in place, to become Riser's bodyguard.

"I thought you were my husband's new woman." Sona apologized. "I am sorry."

"No-No, it's okay..." Rossweisse was embarrassed and quickly apologized as she felt guilty for some reason.

However, Riser felt dissatisfied. "How could you think of me like that? I never seduced Rossweisse! Just ask her."

Sona looked at her husband for a while and didn't even express her opinion; she only watched him in silence.

While Riser felt speechless and a little guilty, especially with how he was unable to control his lower body, Sona turned her attention to Rossweisse. "Is that true, Rossweisse?"

"Um...."

Suddenly, Rossweisse became depressed as she squatted on the ground, making a circle. "Riser-sama never seduced me. It seems he doesn't think of me as a charming woman..."

"..." Everyone.

Yet, how could Rossweisse not have had such a thought?

When she lived with Riser, she already imagined that she would be attacked by Riser, and when he attacked her, she would try to refuse, but in the end, she couldn't overpower him before she was eaten, and by then, he would say, "From now on, you are my woman."

With tears yet flush on her face, Rossweisse could only agree in front of his domineering attitude. This is how it should be, right? Yet, no matter how long she waited, he did nothing, and the episode she had been waiting for didn't appear.

Why?

Was she really that unattractive?

When Rossweisse thought so, she became depressed.

Watching this, Riser felt helpless, wondering whether Rossweisse wanted him to attack her. Frankly, he felt weird for such a beauty to have such low esteem, but when he heard how she used all of her time to study as she was unable to inherit her family and prove her worth, he also understood why she had such low confidence.

However, when Rossweisse squatted down, her pants were pulled by her movement, showing the upper part of her buttocks and white panties. Naturally, she was oblivious as she drowned in her depression.

Yet, Riser noticed this, and his expression became subtle as he thought that Valkryie was great.

Still, his sneaky action wasn't noticed as he had trained hard on this skill of his. Moreover, as a Lucifer, how could he show embarrassment, right?

"Then, since Kaichou can't go with Rise-sama to Tokyo, I will go with Riser-sama!"

Xenovia announced all of a sudden.

"How dare you say that in front of me, Xenovia?" Sona smiled as she looked at Xenovia, who tried to do something sneaky right before him.

"But Riser-sama needs someone by his side! If not, then he might attack a random woman!" Xenovia clenched her fists, showing her determination. "I can't let that happen, so I will be by his side!"

"Oi!"

Riser wanted to smack Xenovia's head at this moment, but he felt sad when he saw Sona consider this problem with such a solemn attitude. He might be a beast, but he definitely wouldn't force a woman!

However, suddenly, he noticed someone from the corner. "What's wrong, Irina?"

"Ah, um, nothing, Riser-sama!"

Irina seemed nervous, and her face was so red.

"...."

Riser fell in silence, then stared at Xenovia, who somehow noticed his gaze, smiling, then gave him a thumbs up as if she had done a great job.

"..."

While he wasn't sure what kind of talk Xenovia had said to Irina, he knew that their conversation definitely wasn't something pleasant for him to hear, especially when Xenovia was related.

Even though Xenovia was trained under the church for many years, her head was definitely outrageous enough that no one would believe she was a former exorcist.

Yet, he had to say, this kind of harem comedy situation made him smile.

Still—

"Ri-Riser..."

Everyone might have noticed her, but when Riser appeared, all the attention was on him, so her presence was momentarily ignored. But when she called him, all the attention returned to her again as they wondered what she was going to say.

Riser looked at Rias, who also came with his wife. However, unlike before, she only brought Koneko and Akeno with her.

Still, Koneko looked around, seemingly searching for someone cautiously.

"If it's Kuroka, she isn't coming."

Ravel, whose relationship was quite close to Koneko immediately.

"I-I am not looking for Nee-sama..."

While Koneko sighed in relief, she also felt quite disappointed that she couldn't see Kuroka. However, she was glad that her older sister became Riser's woman as it would make her older sister no longer a criminal.

Koneko's matter aside, Riser paid more attention to Rias. He could tell that her expression was unique, and occasionally, she would glance in Sona's direction. While he knew that something might happen between them, he was more cornered about the plan initiated by Ajuka, as this plan would use Rias as bait, exposing her to danger.

While he knew that he didn't care much whether Rias would become his woman or not, he couldn't help but feel pity and sorry for this young woman. He felt their roles had changed. In the original, she was the source of his misfortune, but now, he was the source of her misfortune.

"When is your next match?"

"Ah..!" Rias was surprised by his question, but she quickly answered. "It should be soon."

"I will watch it. You better win."

"....."

Rias was in a daze before she nodded with a smile. "I will."

"Then, I will leave first." Riser didn't bother to talk with Rias. "Sona, let's go."

"Okay." Sona nodded and followed her husband.

Watching everyone leave, Rias didn't move and kept staring at Riser's back in silence.

"Rias, he had left." Akeno couldn't help but remind Rias.

"I know..." Rias sighed as she knew nothing would change between them as long as Issei existed, yet with her nature, could she abandon Issei like trash?

Rias knew that she could do it, but she knew that she might make the others betray her, especially when many of her peerage members had made a connection with Issei.

"..."

Rias let out a long sigh, feeling exhausted and wondering what she should do, but she knew there was something that she needed to do.

"Aren't you going to mention the matter of Diodora to him?" Akeno suddenly asked.

"No, it's okay. It is a little problem, and we shouldn't bother him with this problem, especially with how busy he is."

Busy?

Akeno knew that they were coming to the human world to play around, but she didn't bother to say anything, wondering when Riser was going to visit her.

Nevertheless, Riser's schedule was quite packed. After staying at his wife's house for a night, he decided to leave for Tokyo the next day in the morning, but when he was about to leave with Ravel and Rossweisse, someone stopped him, seemingly having been waiting for an entire night.

"Lu-Lucifer-sama, ca-can we talk for a moment?" Azazel asked with the best smile he could show.

"..." Riser.
