Chapter 71: A pleasant welcome

Chapter 71: A pleasant welcome

Who dares to say those words to him?

In the Underworld, no one dared to say it to him.

Even if they secretly looked down on him for relying on his wife's family and also his status as the third son of Lord Phenex, they couldn't say it openly. In front of him, they needed to bow and act as respectfully as ever, like the most elegant servant.

No matter who they were, as long as they were devils, they needed to give him respect.

Yet, there had always been an exception.

Yes, it was the guy in front of him.

Hyoudou Issei.

As the weekend was about to end, Rias naturally would go back.

As her servant, who had missed his master, Issei wished to see his master as soon as possible, so he came to pick Rias up with the others.

Except for Kiba, since his mood was in an emo state after he saw the picture of the sword in Issei's house.

Yet, as Issei waited excitedly, especially when he thought of the boobs of her master, the devil that he didn't want to meet the most appeared before him and, moreover... moreover, why did this devil's relationship with his master seem good?

Still, as the protagonist, there was one natural reaction that he had.

"You bastard! What are you doing here?!"

"...."

Riser was speechless, but facing a barking dog, there was no need for him to get angry.

Nevertheless, even if he didn't feel angry, it was different from the others, especially Sona.

Sona's expression was frosty, and one more provocation, she might even kill Issei.

She might appear gentle, but how many reincarnated devils had been killed by her hands?

Was there even a hesitation? No.

Whether Sona or Rias and the rest, except for Issei, who was the protagonist, all of them had killed many. It was due to the perverted antics that happened in the story that the killing didn't seem that cruel and appeared like a joke.

Yet, before even Sona said anything, Rias scolded her servant.

"Issei! What are you doing!?"

"Bu-Buchou..."

Issei was scared since it was his first time seeing Rias being so harsh toward him. From what he had remembered, she had always been gentle, and she even used her boobs to comfort him, but... but... she scolded him?

Issei was in a daze as he was in disbelief.

Still, Riser suddenly realized he was pretty kind, especially when he was too lazy to care for Issei.

"Sona, Ni, Li. Let's go."

Sona nodded as she held Riser's hand, ignoring Issei. "Tsubaki, everyone. Let's go back."

However, Ni and Li glared at Issei since they still remembered that they were troubled by this perverted dragon. However, this time, if they fought each other, they believed that they could win against this guy. After all, they were no longer like before, and they had mastered much of the knowledge that was taught by their master.

"Yes, Kaichou."

Still, Issei had a good friend.

"Issei-san, pl-please don't fight. Bu-Buchou-san, too, don't get angry, okay?"

Asia, who noticed their change, tried to pacify them.

Watching Asia, Rias also calmed down, but Issei couldn't.

"Don't stop me, Asia-chan! I have to beat him, or else he will continue to become Buchou's stalker! Hey, that Grilled Chicken over there! You are married, right? Then you should give up on Buchou and leave!"

Issei was unstoppable.

He felt that he was correct.

He felt that Riser should stop chasing after Rias!

However, whoever heard those words felt that they were too much!

Whether peerage members of Sona and Rias, they couldn't help but feel this guy was delusional!

"Oi, you—"

Before they scolded Issei, suddenly, an enormous pressure emerged and spread before everyone.

It was like a blazing sun suddenly dropped in front of them.

Facing this disaster, everyone could only give up resistance and die.

Yet, they knew it wasn't the sun, but it came from someone they were familiar with.

The temperature in the station increased dramatically, and all the electronic devices in the area were wrecked directly.

No one could maintain their calm, and they had the urge to bow down, asking for forgiveness.

Yet, Issei, who faced this pressure directly, knew he was about to die.

'I'm going to die! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!'

His heart was filled with fear, and he knew no one could save him, especially Sirzech, who wasn't by their side. Even if the temperature in the surroundings became so hot due to the intense heat, his body became colder as he could feel his death was near. At the same time, his body and mind also remembered the terror that Riser had given to him that day.

Yet, amidst that panic, the crest of Gremory's house appeared on the ground, then—

"Riser-sama, please be magnanimous and forgive his rudeness!"

Riser's aura was being fought back, giving everyone a chance to breathe, yet it was meaningless, and it was broken forcefully by him, but he lowered the intensity of his Demonic Power.

Riser narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman who appeared before him and protected Issei.

[Who the hell are you?! A mere servant dares to stop me?!]

[Depending on what you do, you will get a different reward.]

[Let me see your growth.]

'Oh, I'll let you see. You don't need to worry.'

The next chapter is a bit too cruel, in my opinion, but I think it is necessary.

Nevertheless, please enjoy.
