Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 330: The Golden Age of the Alliance

"Let's go to Kyoto~!"

"...what?"

Riser, who was resting on his villa, looked at Serafall, suddenly jumped into his belly, hugged him tightly, and said something so outrageous. Still, he hoped that she didn't grind those bouncy bottoms of hers to his nether region since it was hard for him to answer her this way.

He lifted her body lightly and said, "Okay, okay. When?" He was just about to relax, and he didn't want to work, so going to Kyoto was a good thing for him.

"Yay~! Well, there is no need to be in a hurry, though~! I will call you later when we're ready, but I have heard that you have been skipping your work. Is that okay~?"

"Of course—"

"Of course not! It isn't okay! Onii-sama, do your work!"

Riser's lips twitched when he saw Ravel, along with the many women surrounding him. Still, he wasn't scared and said, "No, Ravel. The doctor has said that I have an acute disease where I will die if I work! Let me rest!"

"How long have you been saying that?! Hurry up! Rossweisse, Isabella, Xuelan, pull him up!"

"Excuse me, Riser-sama...." 3x

While they didn't want to do this, they knew that the future of the Underworld was on him, so they knew they had to force him even if he didn't want to work!

"Serafall, help me!"

However, Serafall only made a salute toward Riser, who was being pulled to work.

"When your work is over, I will comfort you, Riser-chan~!"

"NOOOOOOO!"

His cry was meaningless before he was thrown into a mountain of paperwork, where he was forced to stare at many problems in the alliance. At this moment, he cried in injustice as he realized how busy he had become. After the alliance with the Norse Myth and the Greek Myth, he thought his life would be peaceful, but he realized how wrong he was.

Work, work, and work.

Riser felt like crying for some reason.

Yet, there was nothing he could do since he was the only one who was appropriate to handle many problems in the alliance. Others couldn't since their position wasn't as high as his, and they weren't as powerful as him. Moreover, as the leader of the alliance, this was something that he had to do.

Still, his legs felt weak when he saw all the work he had to do, but he knew that this was necessary. It was also because of this he sometimes had his women to comfort him under the table.

This might be risque, but Rossweisse was on the outside, protecting it in case someone came without prior notice, so there was no need to worry.

However, as he was working along with the comfort Yubelluna under the table, someone suddenly entered the door, startling him and Yubelluna, but it also made him clutch his lower body painfully as he had a cold sweat.

"I-I am sorry, Ri-Riser-sama..."

Yubelluna was so frightened as she caressed the little Riser.

"It-It's okay. It will heal soon."

It was fortunate to be a Phenex... if he wasn't.

"What's wrong, nyaa? Are you hurt or something? Is there someone below, nyaa?" Kuroka asked curiously as she was startled when she saw Yubelluna coming out under Riser's table. Her expression became subtle. "You really love this kind of play, nyaa."

"...is there something wrong, Kuroka?" Riser tried to hold his anger as he stared at Kuroka.

"Geez, don't be angry, nyaa~! I will comfort you later, nyaa~!"

"I can't. I will spend my time with Serafall later."

"Then, the two of us can comfort you."

"..."

Riser took a deep breath, then asked, "So what's wrong?"

"Someone came to exchange the bounty, nyaa."

"Well, it isn't something new, right? They can handle them yourselves."

As the bounty had spread all over the world, it wasn't weird for someone to come to exchange a member of the Khaos Brigade for money. This had happened so many times, but as expected, those who were caught weren't the core members; they were just some weaklings whose names weren't even mentioned in the story. Nevertheless, it didn't mean that they were weak, as many of them had Sacred Gears.

Yes, most of the members caught by the bounty hunters were members of the Hero Faction, as they kept appearing from time to time.

In the original, there was no such thing as a bounty, so even if there was a team created by the alliance to face this terrorist organization, there weren't so many people who were included, and they also didn't receive payment as they were part of the protagonist group.

However, with the bounty created by Riser, no one could reject the temptation of money, and they also wanted to get into Riser's good side, especially since he also made a promise that their descendants could work in the industry within the Phenex, Sitri, Gremory, and many others.

In other words, Riser's power of money was so frightening.

Still, even if so many members of the Khaos Brigade were captured, many of those bounty hunters were also killed. Yet, one shouldn't underestimate the strong desire for one to change one's fate by the power of money. Until now, those who were unknown, dirt poor, could only lament their lives and continue their everyday livesin the grey world as they didn't have a future. However, with the bounty, they could get a future that they didn't dare to imagine existed in their lives.

At this moment, millions of creatures within the supernatural world wished for the criminal to appear since that way, they could get more money.

Naturally, this also took quite an expense for him, but money was nothing compared to the peace of mind that he received, and no matter how they hunted the criminals for a bounty, it was impossible to empty his wallet.

"But this time, it is different, nyaa."

"Oh? Can those bounty hunters capture someone special?"

After all, Riser knew that those who were related to the protagonist would have a certain protagonist aura that could help them. It was the same case as the Five Principal Clans that still held on even if they were attacked by Tiamat.

"Yes, nyaa~! Hey, you two come in, nyaa~!"

Hearing Kuroka's words, two girls came in timidly and didn't dare to look at Riser.

Unlike his women, who had somehow gotten used to his aura, those two girls trembled in fear when they felt his aura, even if he had repressed it. Moreover, with their current situation, they weren't sure what would happen to them. Still, this was better than being surrounded by hundreds of men that had captured them. They still recalled their eyes when they stared at their bodies, and it made them shudder in fear. While Riser's aura was frightening, it didn't emit a lust that wished to swallow their bodies whole, so they felt strangely comfortable.

"...why did you chain them?"

Still, Riser was speechless when he saw those two girls were chained, which made him remember a certain scene in a certain work. If they were put into a cage, then he might be able to mimic that certain scene. However, he had to say they were all beauties.

One was like a girl that you often saw in your neighborhood, a childhood type of girl. Her eyes were green, and her long hair was brown, tied in half twin tails, which enhanced her cuteness.

The other was a biracial young woman of Japanese and European descent, making her Eurasian. She had long blonde hair that was tied using ribbons and tied in a braid, looking a lot like a crown; her eyes were heterochromatic, with a blue right eye and a black left eye.

"They are Sae Toujou and Shigune Nanadaru, nyaa." Kuroka smiled and said, "They are part of the Slash Dog."

"Oh? Slash Dog?" Still, Riser was confused by Kuroka's smile. Even though they were members of the Slash Dog, they weren't special members, right?

"Moreover, they have a dubious relationship with the leader of the Slash Dog, nyaa~! Don't you always like to steal someone's woman, nyaa? They are a good girl, nyaa~!"

It was like a pet who wished to be praised by her master.

Kuroka gave Riser the two girls as presents.

"I don't have such a hobby!"

Yet, Riser felt that Kuroka had slandered him since he didn't have a hobby to steal someone's women!

"Really, nyaa? Didn't you sleep with Elaine before?"

"...I do sleep with her, but isn't she just a normal maid hired by Meredith?"

"Of course not, nyaa~! She is Arthur's lover, nyaa~! You slept with Arthur's lover, nyaa~!"

"..."

Riser blinked his eyes, then looked at Yubelluna, who sat on his side like most loyal followers.

"It's true, Riser-sama." Yubelluna nodded.

When she learned about Elaine Westcott's identity, this was why she didn't mind Elaine sleeping with Riser. If Elaine didn't have such an identity, there was no way for her to let Elaine sleep with Riser since everyone had their orders to sleep with Riser.

"..."

"Then..."

"Yes, your hobby of sleeping with other women has spread, nyaa~!"

"...."

Riser took a deep breath, then asked, "Who spread such a rumor?"

Kuroka looked away.

"...."

"KUROKAAAAA!!!!"
