Chapter 47: As a villain, you need to mooch your wife's family

"...firearms?"

His words weren't answered with surprise or happiness. Instead, all of them had awkward expressions on their faces.

The firearms weren't anything new.

When a human developed a firearm, the devil developed an atomic bomb.

Jokes aside, those who were truly powerful beings among the mythical creatures' existence weren't much different from an atomic bomb.

Nevertheless, the main problem was his idea to ask Marion, Burent, and Shuriya to learn to wield firearms.

Frankly, in the Rating Game, there were several teams that had used firearms in the past, but such a thing wasn't popular or even abandoned by the majority.

Why?

Because they were too weak.

In front of magic, firearms could do nothing.

They couldn't even penetrate a simple barrier.

Moreover, those who could participate in the Rating Game weren't weak; even the weakest one wasn't weak enough to be defeated by a firearm.

The only ones who could use firearms were those who were skillful soldiers or snipers during their lives.

Learning magic was also more beneficial, and it was also common sense among the devils.

Lastly, unlike magic, a firearm needed money.

Yes, this was the real problem.

As he had said before, not every devil could be like the Phenex family that could turn their tears into money.

Most of them weren't rich; even some nobles were poor.

Riser also heard that the champion of the Rating Game, Diehauser Belial, was poor.

According to Diehauser's biography, he grew up in a house that was located in the depths of a small mountain. Although his father was a high-class Devil with average ability, his ancestors from the previous few generations were unknown people, and in the previous War of the Three Factions as well as the Civil War of the old government, they had constantly made various errors, so the strength of the Belial House continued to decline, and the family's authority also fell significantly. During the two generations spanning his grandfather's and his father's time, when Diehauser was young, the Belial family faced financial difficulties but managed to just scrape by. His success in the Rating Games solved this financial difficulty.

Diehauser's history was probably also one of the reasons why the Rating Game was popular since it was the fastest way for one to change fate as a devil.

Nevertheless, the history of Diehauser aside, Riser didn't have a problem with money.

Not only could he turn his tears into money, but he also found rare mineral mines. He made a fake account, so he could take some of the capital money to build this resort as corrupt money.

If he had to be bold, he could fake the tax account of his family's domain.

In other words, money is the last thing that he lacks currently!

If he lacked them, then he would just need to make more money by making Phenex Tears or making a fake account in his family again.

Even so, it didn't change their perceptions of firearms as they wondered why Riser chose firearms among all the things he could recommend.

"Riser-chan, if you want to make your peerage members powerful, how about you take some magic books from the Sitri clan library? My family and I have collected many things, you know?"

"Call me, Onee-chan, okay? We're family, Riser-chan~!"

"....." Riser.

"Onee-chan! Call me, Onee-chan~!"

Riser was speechless and wanted to look away, but Serall kept holding him tight and wouldn't let him go until she called him "Onee-chan."

"If you don't call me, Onee-chan, then you can't see the Sitri library!"

Serafall suddenly said an ultimatum.

"...."

Riser knew that he only needed to say "Onee-chan," but somehow, he felt wrong for some reason. He knew he might be a good-for-nothing, but he felt it was wrong to call Serafall an "Onee-chan."

"Onee-chan~! Riser-chan, call me, Onee-chan!"

Everyone looked at them with a smile and looked at Riser with anticipation.

Riser was helpless before he could only sigh. His face was a bit red as he looked away from Serafall's eyes.

"Onee-chan..."

"....."

Serafall blinked her eyes and looked at him in a daze.

Suddenly she felt that something that shouldn't be born was born in her.

What to do...?

Wasn't he the cutest?

Somehow, she was afraid that she might need to apologize to Sona and that she might do something unforgivable to Riser.

"It's done, okay?"

Riser quickly escaped Serafall's claws.

"Once more~! One more time~!"

"Enough!"

There was no respect for Riser's words, and he pushed Serafall away, but she didn't seem angry and even... enjoy it?

"Okay, I know that you are still suspicious about firearms, so how about I show all of you the real power of firearms."

Suddenly, Riser changed the subject, trying to attract their attention as he still tried to push Serafall away.

However...

It was too late.

They realized their master was kind of cute.
