Chapter 298: Bumpy Road

"Onee-sama was so cute at that time."

"Stop it~! Don't tease your Onee-chan, So-chan~!"

When they woke up, Sona teased Serafall.

Usually, Serafall would tease Sona, but this time, their role was reversed.

As last night was Serafall's first time, Sona managed to get her revenge against her older sister, who had always caused her embarrassment. When she thought about last night, she couldn't help but tease Serafall again, and naturally, Serafall wasn't used to being teased by her little sister.

Watching the relationship between the two sisters, Riser smiled and thought that making a harem was the best way to make all the women happy.

Naturally, many would argue that monogamy was the best.

Yet, when one is happy, there must be another who is unhappy.

This was something inevitable, and to be honest, there was no perfect way.

Riser couldn't say he was perfect, but he was trying his best since living in the supernatural world was hard.

Still, their conversation turned into a strange turn all of a sudden.

"But So-chan, you should do your best, or else I might get his first child."

"You should know how hard it is to get a child as a devil, right?"

After enough teasing, Serafall and Sona talked about having Riser's child.

"...." Riser.

After the Great Red incident, all of his women wished to be impregnated by him.

Yet, Riser didn't want to have children, at least for now. While he could have children if he wished to, he didn't want to make a weakness for himself.

A woman aside, a child was different.

Moreover, instead of a chaotic environment where his children might be targeted, Riser wished to make a safe environment where his children could live freely without worry. He still had many enemies, and making his women pregnant now definitely wasn't a good choice.

"Are you done mating?"

"..." 3x

Riser, Serafall, and Sona fell in silence when they saw Ophis suddenly appear before them. While Ophis might seem like a little girl, she was much older than Serafall.

Probably, Ophis might have been born before this world even began to form.

"Who taught you that word?" Riser was speechless and alarmed, wondering who dared to teach Ophis such crude knowledge.

"Xenovia."

Taking a dango as a bribe from Riser, Ophis reported without hesitation."

"..."

Serafall stared at Riser and Sona.

As Riser sighed, Sona closed her eyes helplessly and looked at Riser. "Don't pamper her this time. I really need to educate this stupid girl."

"Go."

Sona left directly as she needed to teach Xenovia.

"So, is it good?" Ophis asked curiously as she nibbled her dango.

"Aren't you genderless, Ophis-chan~? You don't need to think too much. Just eat, Ophis-chan~!" Serafall patted Ophis' head gently like Ophis was her little sister.

After asking many questions before, Riser and Serafall knew that Ophis was genderless. This little girl's body was nothing but a physical form that she chose, but if she wanted to, she could create a bigger body like Serafall.

"Moreover, if you mate with Riser, you can't defeat him."

"Why can't I defeat him if I mate with him?" Ophis felt weird and curious.

"Because by then, you will love him and wish to stay with him forever."

"Love? What is that?"

Serafall was about to teach this infinite dragon, but her head was knocked on by Riser.

"Stop saying something stupid!"

"I am trying to help you!"

Serafall felt that as long as Ophis was with Riser, every conflict would be solved, and there wouldn't be any problems anymore. Moreover, everyone would live happily, especially when the combination of Riser, Serafall, and Ophis definitely wasn't something that one could ever think to defeat. It also was far better than letting this be used by others, right?

Lastly, Riser definitely wouldn't use Ophis since his strength was above her.

This was the difference between Riser and the Khaos Brigade.

If the Khaos Brigade were to exploit Ophis, then Riser wouldn't do that.

Riser knew Serafall's thoughts, but he didn't want to use it to have much of an interaction with Ophis since this infinite dragon was too pure, and her experience was as good as zero.

"Don't listen to her. If you want to defeat me, then do it. If you want to stay here, just stay. Just follow whatever you wish it is."

"My wish?"

Ophis stared at Riser and fell in silence.

Her wish was to return to the Dimensional Gap, but Riser told her that she could return to that place if she wished to.

Yet, strangely enough, when he told her that she didn't want to leave.

While she wasn't sure of the reason, as she had never felt this feeling before, if she had to describe it with a single word, then it would be a curiosity.

After all, Riser was able to defeat her greatest enemy, the Great Red. Moreover, he was the first one who could treat her gently and warmly. While the dango was part of the reason why she decided to stay, she wanted to know much about him.

---

"...Ophis is gone?"

"Yes."

At this moment, no matter what their factions were, all the executives of the Khaos Brigade gathered together. Still, unlike their previous confidence and haughty nature, at this moment, everyone was quite anxious.

The reason why all of them decided to join the Khaos Brigade was due to Ophis since she gave her power and shared it with all of them so they could become stronger.

So, if Ophis is gone, then was there even a point for them to join this organization?

Yet, they knew that they couldn't get out since everyone had become a target of many forces within the supernatural world. To gain funding for their activity, they acted like robbers and did a lot of unforgivable things.

As for why the other forces didn't dare to attack them carelessly, it was due to Ophis.

If Ophis is gone, then those forces wouldn't hesitate to attack them, especially the Norse myth that wished to kill all of them.

Whether it was the magician, hero, Vali, or the remains of the old satan factions, they were all thinking about how to clear up this storm. Yet, they didn't think about the others; instead, they thought about themselves.

Nevertheless, Vali lost his calm, especially when he knew how troublesome it was when he knew how much he needed Ophis.

"So, do you know where Ophis is?"

Hearing this question, everyone put their attention on Euclid Lucifuge.

"It's Riser Lucifer," Euclid said with a sigh.

"....." Everyone.

Still, the leader of the hero faction took an interest in this name.

"Riser Lucifer, huh?"

---

Meanwhile, Riser didn't know a new problem was staring in his direction, but even if he knew, this was normal since he had become a protagonist and a life was like this. It was impossible for everything to be smooth. The journey of life was full of bumpy roads, after all. However, to reach his destination, he wouldn't stop.

Nevertheless, as he watched Sona reprimand Xenovia in the living room with a smile, causing the naughty exorcist to cry even harder, he suddenly noticed a figure that had been sitting on the corner of the room with a gloomy aura.

"?!"

Riser was startled, but then he realized who this was.

"...Rossweisse?"

Hearing her name being called, Rossweisse looked up and then cried, full of injustice, "RISER-SAMA!"

"????"
