Chapter 40: A human failure, yet a perfect devil

"So, as you have been studying the human world, have you been thinking of making a Rating Game school for the lower-class devil?"

"Yes."

If so, then why should she come to the human world?

Or rather, if she didn't have such an intention, she might as well stay in the Underworld since she could strengthen the tie between the aristocratic family.

Sona told him that she had been learning all the education systems in the Underworld and the human world, combining the two, creating a more efficient yet warm system, so while the students could work toward their dream, they could also enjoy their youth.

As she talked, Riser couldn't help but think that Sona was naively cute.

Was the Rating Game such a beautiful game or a place where one could get the result as long as one was working hard enough?

Riser didn't think so since if that was the case, then why should all the participants be high-class devils?

If so, then why should the original Riser let himself be defeated twice in the Rating Game?

In other words, this "Rating Game" was nothing but a game among the aristocratic family in the Underworld to get more money. After all, not everyone was like his family, that could exchange their tears for a tremendous amount of money. Even if one was powerful, their means to get money was limited, especially when most of the money had been divided by the Maou faction and the Great King faction.

Yet Riser also wasn't surprised by Sona's naivety. After all, she was young, and she still hadn't started her debut in the "Rating Game," so even if she had some knowledge about it through the data collected and from her family, she didn't know the reality of the game.

Frankly, if he had chosen "Option 1" or "Option 2" previously, then he might have given her a reality, yet it didn't mean she would stop since her character was rather stubborn.

So, in the end, he chose "Option 3" since he knew that she wouldn't stop chasing after her dream.

In that case, he might as well support her since he didn't need to do much.

In other words, with a limited amount of work (since most of the work should be taken by Sona), he should be able to get a good reward.

Moreover, he should be able to participate in the creation of the education book.

Now, why did he mention this matter?

His participation in the education book was necessary so that way; he could brainwash those children who joined their school.

A child is still pure. They don't know anything, and they are still in the process of learning about their surroundings. The best way for them to learn is to learn from their elders and books.

So, by using education, he would be able to create a loyal group of devils, and when they graduated, they would enter various important sectors in the Underworld or the human world, becoming his part of tentacles to dominate the world.

Joke asides, without a doubt, even if it was troublesome to make a school for the lower-class devil in the beginning, the reward was good, especially when the trend of the reincarnated devil couldn't be stopped.

The number of reincarnated devils would increase even further, and this trend couldn't be stopped.

So, entering the education sector to control all of this new group of devils was a good thing.

Riser then looked at his wife and thought that while she was naive, she was sharp and smart.

Nevertheless, Riser knew that his wife didn't have a nasty thought like him. Instead, she just wished for an equal chance for all the devils, no matter what their status was.

It was a good wish, yet the reality was otherwise.

For the rich or those who came from wealthy families, it was easy since they could use the resources of their families to get stronger.

However, those who came from the poor couldn't do that since they didn't have money, nor did their parents have an inheritance or something that they could rely on to become stronger or grow.

For those who were poor, they could only rely on mutations or luck, hoping they could gain a hidden power inside their bodies to challenge those who were rich.

Having a school meant that he could find those who mutated or talented among the poor, like how he found gold among a group of sands.

No matter what era or race, talent was important.

Nevertheless, he couldn't help but imagine what would happen if he married Rias instead of Sona.

Riser had married Sona, so he knew that even if he was quite lazy, he knew that he needed to participate in her dream. Even if he only supported her verbally. Nevertheless, this dream of hers was definitely frowned upon by all the aristocratic family, even if he didn't want to.

Fortunately, he wasn't alone in this fight since Serafall would support Sona too.

With the support of the two, there was no doubt in the realization that this school wasn't just a pipe dream.

Then, what if he married Rias?

Riser knew that Rias didn't have many dreams. The only thing that she wanted to do was to become the best. The rest? She only wanted to play a game and spend her time on her otaku hobby without worry since her older brother, sister-in-law, and nephew could handle all of those troublesome matters.

Then, did it mean that she was bad? No.

Instead, Riser suddenly felt that Rias wasn't bad at all.

If he married Rias, then he could spend his time enjoying life without worry, holing up inside the room, either playing games or having sex since her family was rich and had a lot of influence on the world.

Moreover, even if he had kissed Rias, he hadn't rubbed her boobs after all.

However, he knew that reality couldn't work that way.

Rias didn't have a good impression of him, and if he didn't divorce her at that time, there was no way that she would kiss him like before.

Instead, he had to say if he had to add all of those factors, the best wife he could choose was, without a doubt, Sona.

Yet, at the same time, he knew that due to her status as the heir and her dream, Sona would be mostly busy, and she might be exhausted, so she might not be able to help him with his needs in that area. However, as he had a harem, this problem wasn't a problem at all.

"..."

Suddenly, he realized that no one was perfect.

Rias might have boobs, but she was troublesome.

Sona might not have boobs, but she was simply a perfect wife for a good-for-nothing like him.

Lastly, he realized that he was really a failure as a human, but as a devil, it seemed he was perfect.

Still, as he had decided to become his husband and also chose "Option 3," he should also do his best—

Wrong!

What he needed to do was not to appear lazy and appear like he had done so much to help her, even though he didn't really help much, so she would even fall in love with him even more.

Yes, that's what he should do!

"Sona, do you want to listen to my advice to build this school?"

"Advice?"

Watching her expression looking at him curiously, Riser thought that being a consultant and helping people by just talking was, deceiving them, so they could do their best in his place was the best job for him.
