Chapter 373: One day

Issei wasn't sure how he felt. His heart was complex, filled with anger and disbelief, and also... strangely excited. Yet, watching the kind-hearted and gentle Asia show such a lewd expression while under the arms of his enemy, he wanted to run away!

Yes, he wanted to run away!

Issei didn't want to believe it!

What was happening?

How did this happen?

Moreover, Issei had to say that Riser was too evil since he dared to play with Asia in his room.

While Asia was shy and didn't want to, it was easy to see that she didn't hate the feeling of being pounded by Riser in his room.

While Issei hoped this was a dream, he knew that this was a reality.

Still, when Issei didn't know what to do, he was hugged by Gasper.

"Gasper?"

"It's okay, Senpai. It's okay. They are just being deceived by Riser. Riser is evil! As long as you defeat him, then you will get everything! Whether it is Rias-Buchou, Asia-senpai, or the others, all of them will go back to your arms!"

"Ye-Yes! That's right! It's all that guy's fault! If it isn't because of that guy, then this won't happen!"

Issei, who didn't want to believe in reality, felt better when he heard all of this. He felt like everything was Riser's fault, and it was all because of Riser that everyone became like this!

Yet, when Issei thought about how strong Riser was.

Can I defeat him?

"Senpai, let's go back to our hiding place first. We need to build our strength first and gather our allies. That way, we will be able to defeat him and gain victory, so they won't be controlled by Riser anymore!"

"Can... Can we really do it?"

"Believe in yourselves, Senpai! You have the power of the Red Dragon Emperor and Chichigami! Right now, you are just as strong... No, you are stronger than Riser Lucifer! Believe in your strength! If you don't believe it, why don't you train first?"

"Train?"

"Yeah, you have a lot of unique powers within you. Let's learn it first before we start to defeat this evil!"

Issei didn't feel that this was a bad idea since he didn't want to stay in this place any longer. When he had become stronger, then he would return, bringing down Riser, who had caused a lot of misery to everyone.

"I will definitely become stronger!"

"That's Issei-senpai that I know!" Gasper was excited since he could see that Issei had returned to how he used to be.

Issei, who was strong and confident and never gave up!

This was his Issei-senpai!

Still, Gasper didn't lie since the power of Issei had become stronger than Riser Lucifer, but Issei's mentality hadn't been adjusted, and he was still hit by what was happening between Riser and Asia. Nevertheless, unlike the girls who left Issei, he wouldn't leave Issei, and he would be with him forever!

"Let's go, Issei-senpai. Georg, we need to do this."

"Yes."

"Where are we going?" Issei was curious as he was eager to grow stronger to defeat Riser.

"Romania."

"Romania?"

While Issei was confused, he followed Gasper and Georg obediently, wishing to pay back what Riser had done to him a thousand times!

As for Rias, Asia, and the others, Issei thought that they were being forced by Riser!

Yes, that's right!

They were forced by Riser!

'Wait for a while, Buchou! Asia-chan! Akeno-san! Koneko-chan! I'll save you!'

Along with all the women with wonderful boobs, he would save all of them from Riser's evil clutch.

However, what they didn't know was that Riser had been waiting for them, thinking that they had time to grow stronger.

'Finally...'

Even though Asia tried to be aggressive, it was hard for her to do so with her nature, but Riser enjoyed it regardless. Still, he had expected this, but he felt conflicted by how easy it was for Issei to grow stronger. When he almost died due to the Great Red and became stronger, Issei suddenly returned and became as strong as him by relying on the power of the god from another world.

'God from another world, huh?'

Not only someone from the future but even a group from another world wanted to take him down.

What was wrong with this world?

Was it not okay for him to be the leader of this world?

Why had there always been trouble?

Riser wondered why the world wished for Issei to be the king of this world.

Was it because Issei was a pervert?

Was it because Issei was an idiot?

Or was it because Issei was "Yasashi"?

Probably, the last was the reason why Issei was chosen.

Yasashi (Kind).

This is the universal trait of every protagonist of the light novel.

Unlike those who were kind, gentle, and willingly being pushed around by everyone, Riser couldn't do that, and it was probably the reason why many tried to take him down.

Whether it was Hades and his group, Rizevim, and the others, Diehauser, then there was also Issei.

'Lastly, gods from another world and also someone from the future.'

Riser wondered what he did to be attacked like this. He had never ever thought to attack another world or the future after all, or were they thinking that he wouldn't attack them?

With that thought, he didn't have any hesitations.

The moment he erased Issei from this world, he was going to take down the parallel world and also another world.

No matter what, they were going to die.

With that thought, Riser was about to leave, but Asia held him tightly.

"Asia?"

"Stay here, Riser-sama~! I will comfort you more~!"

Asia tried to seduce him, but Riser asked, "You know Issei has returned?"

"...." Asia.

Riser wasn't surprised by Asia's decision to seduce him and did something that she wasn't used to. Yet, he wondered how Asia could tell whether Issei had returned or not, but he wouldn't be surprised if she could tell since she was one of the main heroines.

"You know that he is planning to kill me, right?"

"I..."

"Do you want to go to him?"

Hearing his callous question, Asia showed a wry smile since she knew that her worth in his heart wasn't so significant. Even if she left, it didn't matter to him, but she didn't want to lose him.

"...I can't leave. I am already like this. You have stained and shaped me into your shape."

"Wasn't it you who seduced me?"

Asia blushed and buried her face in his chest, trying to hide her pout since wasn't it he who seduced her during her weakest? Yet, she was also willing to fall for him and wished to be held by him, so she knew that she was also at fault.

"One day," Riser said. "I will give him one day. I know that you owe him, but don't expect me to give him mercy since he is the one who wants to kill me first." Frankly, in his mind, Issei was nothing but just a tool for those around him. In his thoughts, Issei was just like a nuclear weapon in the hands of bad people. Yet, it was also probably why Issei was chosen since it was easy to control Issei.

"Thank you, Riser-sama."

One day...

How could Issei have such a short amount of time?

Nothing.

Yet, Asia knew that this was Riser's gentleness toward her. It was because she could be a good woman for him that he was willing to give Issei a day. Knowing that put her heart at ease somehow since it made her realize that he thought of her more than she had thought, and slowly but surely, Issei disappeared from her heart.
