Chapter 52: Having a good relationship with everyone is necessary

When the night came, Sona and Riser returned, and the two of them appeared quite refreshed, as if they had just taken a bath. Nevertheless, the two of them became the center of attention, and they were stared at by all the people in this villa.

After all, it was impossible to hide Sona's seductive appearance, bare legs, and Riser's torn shirt that showed his well-toned body.

The girls looked at Sona helplessly before they looked at Riser thoughtfully since they didn't expect his body to be this good!

Riser knew that even if he had "Bajiquan Mastery," it didn't mean his body became stronger as he only had experience, knowledge, and talent from this martial art. It might not be bad, but if he wished to become stronger, he needed to train his body.

It was like how a sword became sharper as it was hammered.

To turn his body into a weapon, he needed to work harder.

Moreover, he had an immorality.

If he didn't train his physical ability with such an advantage, wouldn't he just waste his talent?

The result of training a physical ability was obvious, especially since there was one devil with a crazy physical ability in the Underworld.

Lastly, having good physical ability would bless his life with a woman.

Still, because they could only meet each other on the weekend, he wasn't the only one who missed her.

She missed him so much that she tore his shirt apart, but because of this, all the attention was on him as they observed his body.

Rias and Serafall were even more blatant as they looked up and down like he was delicious meat.

However, the most seductive would be Akeno, who was looking at him secretly with misty eyes and a seductive gaze as if she wanted to be bullied by him.

"Cough! Cough!"

Like a guy who felt uncomfortable when their woman was being stared up rudely, Sona also felt the same and frowned toward everyone. Next time, she thought that she should ask him to bring a spare shirt, like how he asked her to bring a new stocking.

Hearing Sona's reminder, everyone quickly woke up from their stupor before they looked at Sona thoughtfully and snorted. Naturally, this was only Serafall and Rias.

As for the others, they didn't dare to do so due to their lower status.

Watching their gaze, Sona couldn't maintain her strict and cool expression, blushing, especially when she was stared at by Serafall and Rias that way.

However, Riser was different.

"How was it? Did you enjoy your stay here?"

"...."

What could they say at this moment?

Moreover, how could he say those words calmly with such an obvious hickey on his neck?!

The more they met them, the more their understanding of him had been renewed.

"The construction of this place has just started, so there aren't many places that you can visit, but I have confidence in the hot spring of this place. In the future, there will be more and more attractive things in this place..."

While everyone was focused on what Sona and Riser had been doing, Riser tried to forcefully change the topic of their conversation by advertising his resort like it was the most natural thing to do.

What to do... this guy's face was as thick as the wall that surrounded Lucifaad, the original Capital of the Underworld.

"O-Onii-sama, pl-please wear your shirt first."

Ravel suddenly came to his help like an angel, bringing him a new shirt.

"Thank you, Ravel."

"Let me help you to wear it."

"Thanks."

As Sona helped him put the buttons on his shirt, Riser explained his resort to everyone.

"........"

What was this bizarre situation...?

Nevertheless, he could feel his blazing spirit when he explained his resort. If they made a comparison, he was like a tech company CEO who was optimistic about the future of his business.

Yet, when they saw the layout of this resort from the street, forest, lake, river, buildings, and everything in detail was designed with so much care, they knew that this place would become the future hot tourism spot.

"Riser, can I ask you something?" Rias asked.

"What's wrong, Rias-san?"

While Serafall and Sona nodded, Rias frowned, but she decided to ignore it since Serafall was there. Even if her older brother was Sirzech, she wasn't Sirzech, and there was still a huge difference between her status and Serafall. Hence, Riser's callousness pretended as if they were just acquaintances and never had a relationship to begin with, she understood, especially when he wanted to make a line between them.

It hurt her, there was no doubt, but she knew that she was also at fault.

If it was before, Rias might not have thought so and put all the blame on Riser, but her mind had been constantly beaten and made her wonder from time to time whether she was also at fault.

Riser might be hateful.

No, it was her mind that made him appear hateful.

She was the one who rejected him and hated him.

Yet now, when he rejected her, she was the one who approached him.

When he married and went to the place she couldn't reach, she wanted to reach him.

It was said that when one lost something, they would understand how precious it was.

Rias regretted that she only realized it now, but it was impossible for her to give up!

There was no way for her to give up!

Akeno, who had been observing Rias, could only sigh, but she could do nothing and just stayed by Rias's side, helping her whenever she needed someone the most, like how Rias appeared by her side when she needed someone by her side.

"Who... who designed this place? I have never heard of a famous architect with this style in the Underworld before."

Nevertheless, Rias loved this place so much of this villa and the surrounding area since it used the Japanese style, which was her favorite, yet also mixed various cultures, creating an expressive yet reserved design, a contradictory style that made people wish to appreciate and have a comfortable stay.

"Of course, it's Riser-chan~!"

The one who answered this question wasn't Riser but Serafall, who proudly told everyone that everything was designed by him. She even wished to bring the architectural model that Riser made to show it to everyone, showing how awesome he was.

Yet—

"...yes, it's amazing."

Rias could only smile wrily, feeling even more at a loss.

Riser looked at all of this indifference. He might have noticed Rias's change, but everything was too late.

He was married.

Frankly, he knew that he might have talked poorly about Rias in the beginning, but had there been a good devil?

Being selfish and prideful was nothing.

As the heir of the Gremory Clan and the little sister of the Sirzech, having such status was enough to make her arrogant.

Her body, beauty, and crimson hair were attractive enough to make the original Riser obsessed with her.

However, from the beginning to the end, Rias had been rejecting him, and it wasn't until they parted she started to chase after him, even kissing him forcefully.

Frankly, if he was alone with her, he was afraid that he might not be able to stop his little Riser since he knew that she would do anything to seduce him.

Yet, at the same time, he also didn't want to approach her since, while she was attractive, he hated her older brother.

Sirzech Lucifer.

If he didn't have Serafall as his backing, then what would Sirzech do to him?

Having someone have a negative emotion toward him definitely wasn't a good thing, and to have a peaceful, worthless, and lazy life, he needed to erase the threat that endangered his dream.

—or should he just let it go and just continue to live without worry?

He could think about that matter later, but before that, he needed to get close to his wife's peerage members.

"It's a bit late, but how about we have dinner? We have prepared a Korean BBQ."

"... Korean BBQ?"

"......"

While they felt weird... they decided to enjoy this holiday well.
