Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 51: Phantom Phenex is in action!



Chapter 51: Phantom Phenex is in action!

The long weekdays had passed, and the weekend was about to start tomorrow.

For Sona, this was the day she had been waiting for, so she didn't hesitate to return to the Underworld with her peerage members.

Why did she bring her peerage members with her?

It was all due to her husband.

Even though they were separated between two worlds, they still could communicate with each other. With the combination of magic and technology, they could even do a video call. Because of this, she knew his resort was in progress, but his villa had been completed, and she could visit anytime.

Moreover, there was also a training venue where her peerage members could train.

Even though she hadn't started her debut in the "Rating Game," it was necessary to increase the strength of her peerage members, and training was that method.

Riser's result on the Rating Game was good.

Except for the two defeats which happened due to the connection between nobles, all of his matches ended with victory.

In other words, if there was no deliberate intervention because of his family's connection with his opponents' nobles, then he would have a perfect victory in his Rating Game career.

Nevertheless, when Sona thought about his match with Rias, she tried to think of several strategies to defeat him, but that was the past when her husband was rather a rascal character who was obsessed with Rias. However, as he became her husband, he changed.

Whether it was his character, strength, or everything except for his appearance had changed.

Frankly, even if he didn't use his peerage and just fought her and all of her peerage members, even if she thought of many strategies, everything would be meaningless.

In the face of overwhelming power, a brain was meaningless.

If your opponent could erase your existence with just a snap of his fingers, was there even a point to think of a strategy?

Sona also understood the current weaknesses of her peerage members.

Firepower.

She lacked this.

Her team was well-balanced and quite good at technique, but they had limited damage, which was so much different from Rias, whose peerage members were full of overpowered abilities.

Unlike Sona, even if Rias didn't use a strategy, she could win her battle easily, especially when the power of destruction resided inside her body.

Thinking about her friend, who stayed with her on Kuoh, Sona also understood her weakness and wished to become strong.

Yet, as a member of the Sitri house, her specialty was water manipulation.

In her mind, the only way for this ability to become stronger was to add the amount of water or... smash someone with a giant-shaped water creation.

While Sona didn't want to trouble her husband that much, especially when he was busy with his project and when she had relied on him to build the school... she felt that she had done nothing for him, which made her sad.

So... well... should she agree to some of his requests?

Suddenly, she thought about the black stockings he usually asked her to wear before tearing them apart whenever they were together.

Frankly, it was meaningless to wear something that would be torn soon, and it was rather wasteful, but—

"....."

She fell in silence as she looked at her slender and beautiful legs.

She thought that it was fortunate that she had bought a lot of stockings before she returned to the Underworld.

Nevertheless, as Sona was happy with her meeting with her husband after a while, her peerage members were also happy since their master told them that they could play around in the hot spring resort!

Moreover, it was free!

Even though not everything had been built, they had seen the photo of the villa built by Sona's husband and the scenery in the surroundings. There was no doubt they fell in love with it.

"I wonder when we are going to arrive."

"I can't wait to go to the hot spring~!"

"Oh, I want to see the bird forests!"

While it was strange for the bird forest to suddenly be mentioned, the creator of this resort was Riser, who was coming from the Phenex House.

As the house resembled the king of birds, all of the members of this house had a bird type, "Familiar," and their affinity toward birds was higher than anyone in the Underworld.

In that case, why didn't he make a bird forest?

With that thought, in that resort, there would be many types of beautiful birds that could be seen along with various other animals that the guests could pet and play with.

"The resort hasn't finished yet, so there is a place that you can't visit, okay?"

"Yes~!"

Even so, Sona's words didn't dampen their moods. Instead, they became even more excited, especially when they were also curious about the Phenex domain, the wealthiest family in the Underworld.

Nevertheless, not everyone was happy.

Saji, the pawn of Sona, sighed and felt helpless. He knew that he needed to move on, but when he thought about the person who had helped him during his critical moment, he knew that it was hard to accept all of this.

However, after so many days, Saji knew that it was impossible for the two to be together, especially when she had married someone.

There was nothing that he could do.

That's why the only thing that he could do was to stay by her side and be her support.

He might not be able to be that man who could stand by her side and a place she could rely upon, but he could still be part of her peerage and be her support whenever she needed his help.

However... however...

Saji just couldn't stop his tears.

Nevertheless, everyone had gotten used to his tears, and they were more excited about the hot spring, so they ignored Saji. No, they gave Saji space to calm himself.

However, even if everyone was in a good mood, they also felt weird due to the presence of two people.

"Rias, why are you following me here?"

Sona and Rias returned to the Underworld, but suddenly, Rias made a turn and followed her like a tail.

"Why can't I be? I have heard that his resort is completed. I want to see whether it is a good place or not."

"It's not his resort, but his villa. His resort still needs time to be completed."

"Nevertheless, I will be the future guest. Is there a problem for me to come to visit?"

Rias asked in a haughty manner, like an unreasonable guest that was often seen at the tourist attraction.

"...no, there is no problem. If you wish to come, then come."

There was no point in talking with Rias, and Sona just wanted to meet her husband as soon as possible, so she let Rias go with her.

Moreover, even if Rias came to his villa, what could she do?

After all, Sona would be by his side all the time.

"Rias..." Akeno looked at Rias helplessly.

Rias only came with Akeno this time and didn't bring the others since bringing others might cause trouble, especially when Rias could tell that Riser didn't like Issei.

As for the others?

Rias felt that it was unnecessary to bring so many people, so she only brought Akeno with her.

"It's okay. We're just guests. There is nothing to worry about."

Akeno let out a helpless sigh.

Rias might not be worried about anything, but what about her?

Did Rias ever think about her chastity?

Akeno was afraid that if she went to meet Riser, her virginity would be lost, even though she didn't mind, as having a forbidden relationship was something that turned her on.

Still, even with the appearance of Rias and Akeno, it didn't dampen everyone's mood, and before long, they quickly arrived at the location of his resort.

"....."

"Wh-What is this...? Is... is this heaven?"

This was an Underworld, so it was impossible for heaven to exist, yet... yet... it existed?

The construction might not be finished, but even if it was only 30% of the progress, they could see how impressive this place was.

Even Rias, who had gotten used to seeing many of the best things in the world, felt her face was numb.

The architect of this place... was amazing.

However—

"Sona-chan~!"

Suddenly, a familiar figure ran in their direction.

"Huh? Onee-chan?!"

Sona was dumbfounded, but then, suddenly, the cool temperature became warm, and everyone quickly looked up before they noticed a blazing figure moving in their direction.

"Riser?"

Everyone knew that this was Riser, but he didn't care about all of them and caught Sona before he flew away into the distance.

"Wait~! Wait~! Phantom Phenex~! You can't kidnap Sona-chan~!"

Serafall also quickly released her devil wings and soared to chase after them.

"....."

However, the rest who were being left out looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while.
