Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 8: I, Riser Phenex, divorce you!

When the battle ended, Riser was surrounded by his relatives.

"When did you become so powerful?"

"Onii-sama, you are amazing!"

"Have you been hiding all of your power?"

Whether it was his parents, brothers, little sisters, the members of his peerage, or relatives were happy. He might be a dandy, but his strength was obvious. Sekiryuutei, who had reached a "Balance Breaker," wasn't his opponent, and he also could achieve the strength that all the Phenex devils had never reached.

Blue fire.

When Riser showed this fire, everyone's eyes were blazing with excitement.

Yet, wasn't it normal?

The stronger Riser was, the better it was.

Moreover, they could also see a way to improve their power from Riser.

The Phenex family might be powerful, especially with their "Immortality" trait, but if they could become even stronger, then why not right?

After all, as a devil, what is important is their own strength.

The stronger they were, the better.

Still, while Riser's family and relatives were happy, Rias and her peerage members were gloomy and depressed. Issei, who they had trusted, was defeated by Riser, yet when they thought about it, wasn't this normal?

Riser was a high-class pure-blooded devil who was known as a genius.

Issei was just a devil that had only been reincarnated for a while. Even if he had a "Boosted Gear," in the end, he was just a normal human before.

However, even if the chance was small, they had hope... yet... yet in the end, the result was this.

Still, the members of Rias's peerage members looked at Issei worriedly since he had passed out. However, they didn't dare to approach the stage as they were wary of Riser. Their master also hadn't said anything and just lowered her head, without saying anything, so as her servants, they could only stay in silence. After all, not everyone could be like Issei, who could ignore the difference of classes among the devils. If they tried to be rude to Riser, even with the protection of Rias, their days wouldn't be good.

Moreover, they knew sooner or later, Riser would marry Rias even if Rias hated this marriage.

Meanwhile, Rias felt that her future was dark since she knew she couldn't escape from this marriage.

From now on, she will become Riser's wife.

All of her family, whether it was her parents or brother, could see Rias's expression, but what could they do?

In the end, they follow Rias's selfishness and give her a chance to escape from this marriage, but she wastes all of that chance. Sekiryuutei, whom they had believed would change the result, lost miserably and even begged them to ask for mercy from Riser.

They looked at Riser's group, which was full of happiness, and didn't say anything.

Rias's parents were okay since they also wished for this marriage. Riser also showed a strength that no one expected, and without a doubt, he was good enough to become their son-in-law.

After all, if Riser wasn't a good fit, then who would fit?

As for his playboy-like life, Riser was strong, and wasn't it normal for the strong to be popular? They also felt like this marriage was good since no matter how they denied it, having a powerful devil as their son-in-law was good. Moreover, Riser's status also perfectly matched Rias's.

Sirzech, Rias's brother, also thought so. While he could see that his little sister was sad, there was nothing he could do unless he wanted to be treated as a selfish Maou. His actions had caused much dissatisfaction in him, and Riser followed his whim and executed them perfectly, showing his might to everyone.

If there was a problem, it was Rias, whose peerage members were too weak.

Yes, being weak is an original sin.

This is the truth of the world.

Also, while Rias was unhappy, Sirzech could see that Riser was loved by everyone, showing that Riser's personality was decent. Even if Riser was a playboy, it was better when compared to Issei, right?

The two were perverts, but it could be seen which pervert was better, right?

"Congratulations, Riser-kun, you have shown us an amazing performance."

When Sirzech came, Riser's family also gave him a space to talk since even if they had some dissatisfaction toward Sirzech, he was still a Maou, and he was also powerful enough to shut down all of them.

"No, I was almost defeated before. Sekiryuutei is worthy of his name. He was really powerful."

Riser sighed, showing an exaggeration that he had almost lost before.

All of them wanted to laugh, but they held it.

Still, they also felt speechless.

Almost lost?

Wasn't it a one-sided slaughter?

"Onii-sama, didn't you defeat that perverted guy one-sidedly?" Ravel Phenex giggled at Riser's remark.

"Don't say that, Ravel. He might be a pervert, but his power is without a doubt."

Riser patted Ravel's hair gently, telling her not to underestimate Issei. He was frank, and he admitted that Issei was powerful, but he didn't think that he would lose, especially when he had carved a terror in Issei's mind.

Still, he glanced at Rias from the corner of his eyes and sighed helplessly.

[As a villain, how can you care about a little woman? If she is selfish, then you need to teach her who is the master! Be bold and crush her pride! Tell her that she is nothing but a bitch!]

[Option 1: Kill Rias Gremory. You will receive an "Almighty."]

[Option 2: Sleep with Rias, her female peerage members, Grayfia, her mother, and all the females in the Gremory family. You will receive an "Absolute Control."]

[Option 3: Divorced Rias. You will receive a "High Intelligence."]

"...."

[You must choose one, or else you will lose your nipples]

"..."

Riser felt that he wanted to cry at that moment. While he hated Rias's personality, he loved her body. He felt that it wouldn't hurt to play with her for a while, but what were those choices?

Also, losing nipples?

"....."

"Onii-sama?" Ravel looked at Riser with confusion as he stopped to pat her head.

Riser took a deep breath and made his choice. "By the way, Sirzech-sama, I could ask you a request since it was my victory, right?"

"..."

Sirzech's expression was bitter, but he nodded, showing his kind smile. "Yes, is there something that you want to ask from me?"

"Yes."

"What is it? You will have my precious little sister as your wife. Is there something that you want to ask from me?"

Sirzech meant, don't be shameless!

Riser was going to marry his precious little sister, so shouldn't he be satisfied?

However, he ignored Sirzech's remark and said, "I hope that you can forgive me for my selfish request and also hope that our relationship won't be unpleasant because of this."

Sirzech was confused. "What are you going to do?"

Riser then looked at Rias then called her name. "Rias Gremory."

Rias's body flinched when she heard Riser call her name. She knew that she would be his wife, and because of this, she knew her future had ended. When she thought about this, her eyes were moist, but...

"I, Riser Phenex, divorce you."

"....."

When those words fell, everyone was dumbfounded. They couldn't believe their ears since what they heard was just too outrageous!

Even Rias, who had resigned herself, also looked up in disbelief.

No one in this place expected that Riser would divorce Rias!

"What do you mean, Riser-kun?" Sirzech's expression wasn't good.

"I am sorry for my rudeness, but isn't this what you want, Sirzech-sama? Isn't this the reason why you set up the Rating Game with your little sister's peerage and asked me to fight with that perverted dragon? Am I wrong?" Riser didn't fear Sirzech and looked straight at him. Frankly, if he was stronger, he wouldn't care about Sirzech's face, but he was weaker, so he needed to take care of the face of this double face bastard.

Maybe, because Sirzech knew what he was doing was wrong and he was in front of everyone, so he had guilty consent and almost looked away when Riser looked into his eyes.

When Riser's words fell, no one could find a fault.

Everyone in this place wasn't stupid.

Whether it was the "Rating Game" or this duel, they knew whether Sirzech and Rias's parents were involved. It was impossible for them not to know about this matter. Yet, they acquiesced and let Rias break this engagement from him. They followed Rias's selfishness and let her fight him, trying to break away from this engagement.

If Rias won, then Rias and her family wouldn't say anything and be even happy about it, yet it was different for Riser since he would gain disgrace from it.

As for Riser's family? What could they do? Their opponent was Maou, after all. They could do nothing and just thought of it as a lesson for their youngest son for being arrogant all the time.

In other words, since Rias and her family were the ones who took the initiative to cause trouble, then they should prepare for the consequences.

This was the consequence of her action, being known as a divorced woman.

Yet, they had never expected Riser to do this since they knew what kind of beauty Rias was.

As a playboy, it was obvious Riser wanted to eat Rias, but because of this, all the eyes present changed when they saw him.

They could see the pride of this young man.

If you don't want this marriage, then it's fine.

I don't want you either.

I will divorce you!

Rias was too stunned to say anything since she couldn't believe what she had heard.

Yet, wasn't it normal since she was confident in her beauty?

It was normal for everyone to fall in love with her beauty instantly, yet Riser told her that he was going to divorce her.

"Farewell."

She saw him saying those words to her for the last time before he turned without even turning in her direction. She felt that her consciousness had become dark and that she had lost something.

"Rias!"

Akeno, her Queen, quickly caught her, and her expression became complicated.

Not only Akeno but all the people present were the same.

Even Issei, who had woken up after being healed at that moment, was extremely in the dumbfounded state that he ignored the pain in his body. After all, in his simple mind, what kind of stupid man dared to refuse Rias? Yet, at the same time, he felt relieved Rias's virginity was protected.

Still, maybe this was the imagination of the people present, but they felt Riser was freer than anyone right now.

It was as if... he was the one who was trapped in this marriage?

Meanwhile, while Riser felt regret, he also felt relief since he could become a playboy without being troubled by the plot around the protagonist.

Still, before he left, his eyes caught a young woman with a short and slender body. Similar to Rias, she was also a beauty, but her beauty was quite different.

Their eyes met each other for the first time, and it felt like time stopped for a moment, but he quickly looked away before he left with his peerage members and some of his family.

---

"Kaichou, what's wrong?"

The young woman also woke up from her stupor before she shook her head. "No."

A certain possibility appeared in her head, but while she felt complex, she didn't really hate the idea yet... it should be impossible, right?

---

Maybe this scene is unrealistic since he can walk out safely without being killed by Sirzech, but the key to his safety is confidence, guts, or protagonist halo, you call it. Also, he is already numb from being played by the system, so just don't be too strict and pick every fault that you find, okay?

Just enjoy it.
