Riser Phenex isn't a villain

Chapter 94: My first client



Chapter 94: My first client

Those who are deceived.

This sentence might seem unusual or even incomprehensible, but when one learns the origin of the Phenex House, one will understand the meaning behind this sentence.

Unlike the other noble devils, the Phenex wished to return to heaven after 1,200 years, but in the end, he was deceived.

This story was where his sentence originated from.

Still, suddenly, he felt that he had become quite good at an exaggerated and mysterious act.

Was it due to the effect of the creation of the name of his new organization?

Riser felt that it had such a large influence on him, and he was afraid that he might create a new overdramatized name that might give a shudder and goosebumps whenever he thought about it.

Nevertheless, there was a huge problem that he needed to handle, and it was a matter of life and death.

"Sona, I have met the exorcists."

"What?"

Sona, who was about to start cooking dinner, stopped and then quickly approached him.

"Tell me!"

Riser looked at Sona, who was wearing a cute apron and tied her short hair into a small ponytail; he couldn't help but be mesmerized for a moment and thought that his wife was adorable.

"Kaichou, I will take care of the dinner."

"Yes."

Sona was no longer in the mood to cook dinner since she was cornered about meeting her husband with two exorcists.

Meanwhile, Riser secretly made a thump up to Tsubaki, which she saw and nodded.

[When Sona is sleeping, you can go to Tsubaki's room. Even if you do something, she won't say anything and will just accept everything.]

"......"

Riser was speechless, but somehow, he also didn't feel surprised since, unlike Rias' peerage members, who seemed like a family, there was a hierarchy seen in Sona's peerage members.

Yet, was it wrong? No.

Instead, this was how it would normally be.

Frankly, Issei was amazing since he could talk about boobs and blatantly looked over his master with a perverted gaze.

If it was on Sona's peerage, such an act was already punished.

Moreover, unlike Rias' peerage, which she mostly received from her older brother, Sona gathered all of her peerage members by herself, and everyone knew what their position was.

Lastly, all of them were helped by Sona.

In other words, they owe a favor to Sona due to their individual problems.

Still, it was also the reason why, even if he entered Tsubaki's room tonight, everything would be okay.

Nevertheless, he still needed to talk about his meeting with the exorcists to his wife.

Hearing his explanation, Sona sighed in relief, but at the same time, she was speechless since he could talk normally with them.

"...they thought of you as a human in the beginning?"

"Who could tell if you didn't show your devil trait?"

As long as they didn't show their devil wings or their supernatural power, no one would think they were a devil.

Naturally, some devils had an inhuman-like appearance, so it was impossible for them to hide even if they wanted to.

However, if Irina and Xenovia wished to, they should be able to use a technique or tool to detect a devil, but with their usual conduct, would they think such a simple thing?

"Still, it's good that nothing happened."

The two continued to talk until the dinner finished, so the three of them had dinner together.

"Now that you mention it."

As he praised Tsubaki's cooking skills, Riser suddenly remembered something that he saw when he picked Sona up at the school. "It seemed that there was a problem with Rias' peerage members?"

"Yes." Sona nodded. "It should be her knight. From what I know, her knight should be uncontrollable due to Excalibur."

If there weren't any problems, Sona was sure that Rias would invite Riser for dinner with an excuse for an apology, but Rias was so troubled with her knight, which had gotten out of control, so Rias hardly had time for that.

"Her knight... was it that feminine young man?"

Unlike him and Sairaorg, who was a big guy, Riser remembered that Rias' knight was slightly sissy.

"Yes, that one."

"Did he have a connection with Excalibur or something?"

"This might not be a good talk during dinner, but if you are curious, her knight is the survivor of The Holy Sword Project."

"The Holy Sword Project? Is he a blacksmith or something?"

"No, the Holy Sword Project is a project conducted inside the Christian Catholic Church that is aimed at creating swordsmen who can wield the Holy Sword Excalibur. He was one of the participants."

"Was?"

"All of them died except for him, then when he was about to die, Rias reincarnated him as her peerage member."

While Tsubaki's eyes widened, Riser only nodded and didn't feel surprised since sometimes there were many such strange projects that everyone agreed to.

"Should I say the church was stupid to allow such a project?"

"I agree." Sona nodded.

Was it worth it to erase their reputation for this strange project?

Still, in such a massive organization, as long as they were kicked out and blamed the matter of the project on the person who was responsible, they would wash their hands clean.

That's what the big organization always did, after all.

Sacrificing the minority for the majority.

Riser was sure that the one responsible for the project had already been kicked, and his name was pure black with infamy.

Still, with the project ending in a failure, Riser wondered whether there was a worthy reincarnation of Kiba Yuuto.

'Well, it's all due to Sacred Gear.'

If Kiba Yuuto didn't have a Sacred Gear, then the Gremory House or Sirzech definitely wouldn't tell his little sister, Rias, to reincarnate Kiba since such a failure had no potential.

His words might be harsh, but the reality was like this.

The Gremory House didn't do a charity or open an orphanage after all.

Yet, it was also understandable since they were devils.

It was like Issei, too, since if he didn't have the Boosted Gear, then would Rias even help him when he was about to die?

Nevertheless, if Issei didn't have Boosted Gear, then he might spend his time peacefully as he enjoyed the companion of a porn video and his hand.

Such a life probably wasn't bad at all.

Still, the matter of Kiba aside, Sona was glad that nothing had happened.

As for stopping him from meeting the exorcists?

Riser wasn't a child, and Sona believed her husband knew best.

Still, there was something that she needed to report.

"So you sent Saji to follow the exorcists?"

"That's right." Sona nodded. "It seemed that they had liked our cooperation, so they could leave Kuoh Town as soon as possible."

Did they have such a talk?

Why didn't he remember?

Oh, probably, it was because he played a game and didn't even show much interest in this matter.

However, it was great for Xenovia and Irina to be open-minded and work with the devils so that way they could finish their work faster and then leave and return to the Vatican.

After all, if possible, Riser didn't really want to meet them since he could imagine how troublesome it was.

Only suddenly did he feel something had called for him.

"What's wrong?" Sona asked since his expression was slightly strange.

"It seemed... someone had summoned me?"

"........" 2x

"You mean... someone picked up that summing flier that you threw randomly like trash in the morning."

"...that seems to be the case."

Riser felt weird, but then again, it seemed like fate, so he decided to play along.

"I will go out then. I am quite curious who had summoned me."

"Okay." While Sona was speechless, there was nothing she could do, and she would be lying if she wasn't curious. "Should I accompany you or something?"

'...are you my mother or something?'

Riser wondered whether Sona was his mother since this woman was quite protective of him. Still, he didn't say that out loud.

"It's okay. I will go on my own. It will be quick and easy."

"Okay."

Without changing his clothes, Riser left for the place where he was summoned.

Frankly, Sona could remind him, but she didn't. After all, she didn't want the human to have a good impression of Riser, so there was no need for him to leave her again.

Moreover—

"I hope the one who summons him is a guy."

"...yes, Kaichou."

Only Tsubaki nodded and wasn't sure what to say at that moment.

---

As the light of the summoning circle illuminated the room, his figure appeared.

"Are you the one who summoned me?"

Riser asked lazily as he was looking at his surroundings curiously. It was like any other room. Quite normal, yet strangely enough, he could see a strange collection of books gathered on the shelf before he looked away since he was afraid those collections would burn his eyes.

Riser might not have seen the cover, but the titles were enough to make him escape from this place.

Frankly, if this place wasn't a girl's place, he would leave immediately.

Yes, a girl.

The one who summoned him was a girl.

"...are you a devil?"

Riser was staring at the girl who asked him this question.

The girl's appearance wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't the most beautiful one.

Her slightly messy brunette hair was tied into braids on each side, glasses and gold-colored eyes.

It might be strange or downright rude to compare a girl's appearance with food, but if Sona was like a luxurious meal at a three-star restaurant, then this girl was like a breakfast prepared by your mother.

It was plain yet calming and comfortable.

This should be his first impression of this girl, but when he was about to answer her question, her eyes seemed to move into his crotch as she stared at it rudely.

"......"

Riser was speechless and wanted to scold her since how could a girl be so shameless, but before he scolded her, her glasses suddenly exploded, and she had a massive nosebleed.

"Guwah!"

"......"

Riser secretly wiped his sweat and somehow wanted to shout.

What the hell was happening?!
