Chapter 84: Bathroom dilemma

"Riser-sama, the dinner is ready. Can you help me?"

"Wait a moment."

Riser cleaned up the table so it would be easier for Akeno to put down the dinner.

Still, it surprised Akeno when she saw his willingness to help, even though she asked this request on a whim. It might be something ordinary, but when it was combined with his status, it was definitely something special.

As she put down the bowl of hot udon, Riser sniffed the delicious smell. "It seems good." Still, he couldn't let go of his suspicion, afraid that he was being fooled by Akeno. After all, his beautiful wife often cooked food with a good presentation, but the taste?

Riser was afraid that it was comparable to the bio-hazard weapon.

Frankly, if he couldn't burn the food inside his mouth with his fire manipulation, he was afraid that his life as a devil might end soon with Sona's food.

So, even if the presentation and the smell were good, he was still suspicious.

If there was something that reassured him, it was the fact that there were two bowls of hot udon, which meant that Akeno was going to eat with him.

In other words, he wouldn't be alone in tasting this food, and he could wait until Akeno ate her food to see her expression whether it was alright or not.

Fortunately, Akeno didn't notice that. Instead, she went to the fridge to bring a beverage. "Are you okay with barley tea, Riser-sama?"

"I have never tasted it, but it should be okay?"

Riser had eaten a bio-hazard weapon like food, so barley tea was nothing.

"Though, it would be great if you could bring me mineral water."

"Okay."

She brought two glasses along with a container filled with barley tea and mineral water.

"Let me help you."

"Thank you, Riser-sama."

With the sound of the television show as a background, the two started to eat their dinner as they talked. Nevertheless, it surprised him that the taste of the hot udon was pleasant. It might not have a strong taste and was rather light on his tongue, but it was gentle and calming.

"It's delicious!"

Akeno smiled when she saw him eating her food excitedly. "Do you want me to make you more?"

"It's okay. I am not that hungry. This is good enough for me. Still, do you often cook by yourselves?"

"Yes."

Frankly, except for being lewd, Riser didn't know much about Akeno, but then again, he didn't question her about a deep question. Instead, he wanted to know what she usually did and how she spent her days. He also asked her whether she had a problem or something, which made her talk excitedly and many things to him.

As Rias' queen, Akeno needed to be composed and the one who was always calm. She knew her position well as a servant of the Gremory House, so she did her work perfectly.

Nevertheless, as expected, she was just a young woman, and even though she used to have a hard life, it didn't mean that she was a robot who couldn't get tired. Instead, she was just good at masking her emotions, burying everything deep in the corner of her heart.

However, when one could get the right key and open the deep of her heart, it was easy for her to get close since she was quite lonely, especially when her chance to get close to someone was limited.

Moreover, as the servant of the Gremory House, did others think she could decide her own life?

No way.

When she wanted to do something, she needed to discuss this with the Gremory House, as they were her master.

Naturally, if it was only a material thing, there wasn't a need to discuss it, but if it was related to the future, such as her partner or something she wished to do, there was no doubt she needed permission from Rias and her family.

Still, to be honest, she didn't have many things she wished for in her life.

As long as she could live a comfortable life without worrying about danger or something, she was satisfied with it.

Though, if there was something that she wished for the most, then it would be a family.

This wish of hers might be ironic, but this was something that she wished for the most.

Losing her mother early as her mother was killed by the enemies of her father, and hating her father, who was the one who caused this tragedy, she lived a lonely childhood.

It was also due to this that she wished to have someone who could be by her side and would never betray her, protect her, and comfort her when she was lonely.

Fortunately, she met that person. Unfortunately, his identity was quite troublesome.

As she was staring at him, she hoped he would not be this gentle and make her feel comfortable, or else she was afraid that she might not be able to endure her feelings any longer.

So, as they finished their dinner, Akeno said, "I will take a bath first." She hoped that by taking a bath, she might be able to calm herself.

However, Riser was speechless since he wondered whether it was okay for him to continue to stay when she was about to take a bath. Moreover, wasn't this girl's guard a little too low?

Did she not realize how attractive she was?

Did she really have such confidence that he wouldn't attack her?

However, all of his complaints were meaningless since she had gone to the bathroom.

Riser could only shake his head and burn all the calories and food in his guts before she lay comfortably on the tatami floor. There was something special about this tatami floor. It was warm and comfortable, so it made him a little sleepy.

Akeno realized how bold her action was, especially when she decided to take a bath after she realized Riser was present, but it was too late, so she couldn't stop and continued. However, when she thought he was present inside her house, she felt her body became sensitive.

As she took a bath, she started with her breasts, from her nipples and underboobs, before continuing to the other part of her body. Usually, it would do nothing as she had gotten used to this routine, yet when she touched her nipples and boobs; she couldn't help but let out a sexy moan.

"Hmn~!"

Why did it feel good?

Her body also became so hot when she thought that in this house, there were only two of them.

As a weak woman, if he really forced herself on her, could she reject him?

Probably not.

Or rather, she might wish to be attacked by him.

Her mind was a mess, and it became harder for her to stand up, so she sat on the edge of the bathtub and started to touch her private place. It began with a light touch, but as the pleasure became intense, she started to finger herself as she put her other hand into her mouth to hold her moan.

"Hmn~!"

In the end, her body trembled as her plump thighs shook uncountably before she sat weakly with haggard breathing.

Akeno lifted her hand and looked at the vicious, clear liquid that seemed translucent between her fingers.

Yet, it was also due to this that she realized what she was doing.

"...what am I doing?"

Grr!
