Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 88: There is no way you can escape

Chapter 88: There is no way you can escape

When Riser came to the human world, what was the first thing he purchased?

Cars.

Yes, he bought cars.

Anyway, he didn't lack money, so he bought many types of them, from sportscars to an SUV. He also bought a few superbikes and an ordinary motorcycle, such as a Super Cub.

"You sure bought a lot of them."

Watching many cars enter the garage of her house, Sona only thought so.

If it was other people, they might be scared to death, but for them, whose wealth was already impossible to count, all the vehicles bought by Riser were nothing but toys.

"They happen to be my taste." Riser looked at his wife and asked, "Is it alright for me to keep them here?"

"It's okay." Sona nodded. "My garage is empty, after all."

While her house was enormous, there wasn't a single vehicle, but it was normal since she didn't need one.

—or rather, with complete public transportation in this city, there was hardly any need for private vehicles unless one was wealthy enough to buy them.

Moreover, taking care of the vehicles and gasoline in this country wasn't cheap since this country lacked resources.

However, none of those problems had been a problem for Riser and Sona.

"By the way, buying a car aside, what about your driving license?"

Buying cars in this country was simple since they only needed to have money.

However, the driver's license was different since the driving license in this country was difficult to get.

"It's okay. Nurarihyon helps me to get one."

Not only the driver's license but all the cars he collected were easily received due to the help of Nurarihyon.

"He is kind toward you. Did you set up a deal with him on the "Phenex Tears"?" Sona asked curiously since she had heard Nurarihyon was rather cunning, so she thought Riser had set up a deal with the "Phenex Tears," so Nurarihyon helped him to collect many rare cars and bikes.

"No, I didn't set up such a deal."

"Then?"

"I am just good at making friends."

Yes, friends.

However, Riser didn't intend to talk about this matter anymore.

"How about we go now?"

Sona wanted to ask more questions, but she felt that it might be better to talk when they were on their date. "So, which one will you drive?"

Riser went for a sleek, smooth red-colored Toyota 2000 GT and patted the body of the car.

"How about this one?"

---

With Sona's guidance, they visited many places and had fun together.

Unlike Tokyo, which was so bustling and had so many people, Kuoh City wasn't so crowded and had fewer people, but nevertheless, it was a good city with many unique things.

Nevertheless, it lacked originality.

Everything was the same.

If there was something that made him happy and special, it was the fact that the food was good.

Moreover, this country had a profound knowledge of entertainment, which was something that was worth pondering deeply.

Still, while Riser's head was thinking many messy things, Sona was just happy that she could go out with him.

Nevertheless, with their appearance, it was impossible for them to be ignored. Instead, whenever they walked, they would become the center of attention due to their appearance.

It was also because of this they went to Nagoya, the closest bustling city near Kuoh Town.

With his red Toyota 2000GT, they visited various places together, having fun.

"I can't help but feel a little guilty."

When they rested in the traditional sweet shop, Sona couldn't help but say while sipping her coffee.

"Isn't it too late for you to say that?"

Riser was speechless as he enjoyed his parfait.

Even though Sona said that she felt a little guilty, her face was full of smiles and happiness.

"By the way, Ni and Li, where are your two pawns going with their training?" Sona suddenly asked.

"They went to the mountain."

"...Mo-Mountain?"

"I am not sure, but Magari... I mean, the leader of the Nekoshou youkai told me that they can focus better when they train on the mountain."

However, it was impossible for Riser to follow them to the mountain.

It didn't mean that he wasn't accustomed to living on the mountain since, if he wished so, he didn't mind camping on the mountain.

However, Nekoshou was a unique race where they wished to have a child of someone strong or people they loved.

If Riser was by the side of Ni and Li, they might wish to have children with him all the time, which disrupted their training.

However, there was no way for him to tell this matter, and he only said that he was too lazy to go to the mountain.

Still hearing his answer, Sona fell into silence.

"What's wrong? Do you want to train your peerage members too?"

"I do." Sona nodded. "I will have my debut in the summer, so I think that I might need to train them." Still, she fell in silence again, then added. "Of course, that also includes me."

When she recalled her husband's fight with Sairaorg, she couldn't help but feel the need to get stronger.

If Sairaorg was working hard to become stronger, then was she going to be content with the status quo?

No way, right?

Sona also didn't want to give a shameful appearance in her debut, "Rating Game," especially in front of her husband and family.

While it might have been hard, she wanted to become the shinest existence on that debut.

"Do you want me to help you with training?"

"...is that okay? Won't you be busy?"

"It's okay. I am not in a hurry to enter the "Rating Game" anyway."

Riser wasn't in a hurry to join the "Rating Game."

If he joined, he wanted to start with a bang, surprising everyone with his growth, so next year would be a perfect time, especially after everyone had mastered most of their abilities and become stronger.

After all, as a devil, there was no need for him to be in a hurry, right?

Especially when his age was almost an eternity.

However, it was different with Sona since she would have her debut soon.

"I will set up an underground training ground on your house later, so you can use them to train with your peerage members."

"Thank you, husband."

As they sat side by side, she kissed his cheek without hesitation, feeling happy.

If it was before, she might be embarrassed, but Riser had done many shameful things to her, so kissing him on the cheek while in public was nothing.

Riser felt that his cheek was slightly wet from her kiss, but as expected, he wished to have more, and instead of doing it right away, it might be better to wait until at night when all the tension had built up, then letting it go to explode in one go.

There was no doubt that such an intimacy would be even more wonderful.

Nevertheless, Riser would be lying if he wasn't curious about Sona's peerage members, especially Tsubaki and Saji, as the two of them had something known as a Sacred Gear.

A tool created by God so that humans could fight against supernatural beings and even kill Gods.

Still, if this was something that could be created, then shouldn't he be able to make one?

While Riser wondered why God made such a dangerous tool, Sona suddenly asked, "By the way, have you been summoned?"

"Summon?" Riser was confused.

"...." Sona blinked her eyes and asked, "...you haven't sent your summoning flyer?"

Riser forgot that he hadn't sent a summons flier that he had made on the train previously. On his way to the human world, the system gave him options, and he chose to do business, but then again, with what he did on the "East Youkai Faction," was there even the need to do business?

Still, Riser made another summon flier with a paper he got from the shop.

"Are you going to give your summon flier in Nagoya?"

"No, I will do it in Kuoh Town."

Frankly, he was curious about what kind of people would summon and also what type of request this human would ask, but before that, he was going to enjoy his date with Sona.

The sun was about to set, but Riser and Sona were on their way back.

Meanwhile, this was the time that Riser had been waiting for, and he couldn't wait to go back, especially when he had bought so many costumes and ropes.

"......"

Sona held the single rope in her hand, pulling it, making a snap sound, and then looked at her husband silently.

"......." Riser.

Still, the costumes and ropes aside, the foods were also important since if he consumed the foods made by Sona, he was afraid that he might not be able to show his might.

Nevertheless, when they were about to enter Sona's house, they could see few people standing, or... someone had entered her house.

"...do you have guests?"

Riser knew that it was impossible for one to enter her wife's house carelessly since many magics were placed on it.

In other words, if it wasn't because someone entered with permission, then her house was being broken into.

However, her house didn't seem broken in as Riser could see that the key, barrier, and security magic on her house were still in good condition.

"It should be Tsubaki and my peerage members."

Sona didn't think too much and thought that it was Tsubaki since her "Queen" would come to visit her house to help her with many of her duties.

"I see..."

While Riser felt disappointed and thought that they might as well stay in the hotel outside, he didn't show it on his face, but then, his hand was held by Sona.

"It's okay. I will tell them to go home."

Her voice was rather quiet and shy, but like him, she was also excited to spend a night with him.

Hearing those words, Riser raised once again like a Phoenix that was reborn from ash.

However, when the two walked out of the car, the one who greeted them wasn't only Tsubaki and Sona's peerage members.

In front of Tsubaki and Sona's peerage members, a beautiful crimson-haired devil stood there and greeted them with a gentle, seductive smile.

"Have you had fun with your date, Riser, Sona?"

"......"
