Chapter 73: A fearsome curse

Chapter 73: A fearsome curse

Still, as he left, Riser regretted his decision to come to the human world since he didn't expect his visit to become so troublesome.

However, he didn't regret his previous cruel decision since if he let Issei talk as he wished, then where would his reputation be?

As for becoming Sirzech's enemy, weren't they an enemy in the first place?

Moreover, Riser knew that he needed to appear strong, or else he would be looked down upon.

Lastly, if he appeared weak, then the treatment and provocation he received would be even worse, especially when Issei was just a low-class devil.

If Riser could still smile under the mocks of Issei, then everyone would think of him as trash.

[You understand now, right?]

[What I am doing for you, in the beginning, is for your good.]

[In this world, no good people can have a good life.]

[Remember that cute blonde girl? She is a good girl, but in the end, she is killed and is reincarnated into a devil.]

[Then, that petite girl. She is a naive and cute girl, but in the end, due to the cruelty of the world, she becomes a deadpan and expressionless girl as if afraid to show a single weakness.]

[There is more example.] The initial instance of this chapter being available happened at N0v3l.Bin.

"....."

[The only one who can live well as a devil is the bad guy.]

[So, be a villain!]

[Be proud of your conduct!]

[You have done a good job]

[I am proud of you.]

"....."

Riser had to say that he felt a bit comfortable, but at the same time, he knew that he couldn't get used to this.

Being overbearing, proud, and cold definitely wasn't his character.

If possible, he wanted to go back to the Underworld again.

Still, if he did that, he would be looked down upon.

Nevertheless, he wasn't swayed by the words of the system, and he believed this should be the only trouble that he had in the human world.

After this, there shouldn't be any more trouble.

Yes, he believed so!

Riser was going to become a good and obedient boy!

—or a lazy guy who spent all day at home playing games, reading manga, and having a paradise like every day.

Still, before that, let's see what the system was going to reward him.

[Of course, I am going to reward you.]

[Congratulations, you have received three random rewards.]

'Three? Is that okay?'

Riser felt even strange when he saw his rewards since the only time he got three random rewards was when he took care of all of his harems and also married Sona.

[It's the beginning of your villain-like life.]

'What if I don't want to?'

[It's okay. You don't kill that perverted dragon after all, so that guy might come back and provoke you, considering his lack of brain.]

"..."

Riser wanted to argue, but he couldn't

Still, should he have killed Issei?

Frankly, he had to admit that what Grayfia did to Issei was a little too much, but at the same time, he also knew the necessity to protect his dignity and name.

It felt like this ability would bring him a bad omen.

Though, once again, he had to say this reward was good since having double his power was great, right?

It might not be as great as "Boosted Gear," which could double the user's power every ten seconds, but unlike Issei, his base wasn't zero.

Moreover, this improvement would be natural in his body without affecting anything.

"By the way, did you do something to Hyoudou Issei before?"

"Why did you say that?"

He stopped thinking when Sona suddenly asked him a question.

"No, I am just curious. What did you do by snapping your fingers before?" Sona looked at her husband and asked, "So, did you do something?" Frankly, it wouldn't be weird for Riser to kill Issei, especially when this pervert also provoked him twice. She also didn't like Issei, but as expected, Issei was still Rias's peerage member, and even if their relationship was quite strange now, she still cared about her best friend.

Others also perked their ears, trying to listen.

After all, they felt that the ending was quite anticlimactic.

Riser was quite speechless since he noticed how curious they were. "I didn't do much. I just gave him a little curse."

"Curse? What kind?"

"A small curse."

"Small?"

"Yes, I just made part of his body small."

"...part of his body? Which part?"

Nimura, who was bubbly, couldn't help but ask curiously, but then everyone was staring at her blankly.

"Ah, um, I am sorry!"

Nimura quickly apologized as she bowed her head. She almost forgot what kind of demon King Riser was, though she couldn't be blamed since, unlike when he faced Issei, he was usually quite gentle.

The rest also thought so and knew that as long as he wasn't being provoked, he was relatively gentle.

"It's okay." Riser waved his hand, telling Nimura that he didn't mind, then looked at Saji and asked, "Saji, what do you think is the most important part of man?"

"Eh?" Saji was startled and fell into doubt.

Yet, not only Saji but everyone also started to think, trying to link the puzzle except for the stupid one who could only wait for the answer.

"..don't tell me?" Sona, his wife, who was the smartest among them, quickly realized what her husband had done.

Not only Sona but Shinra Tsubaki, Momo Hanakai, Reya Kusaka, and Tsubasa Yuri quickly realized what shocked them.

Even Saji...

"Ri-Riser-sama, don't tell me...?!"

Saji's expression was so pale as he squeezed his legs tightly.

"Eh? Eh?" 2x

Tomoe Meguri and Nimura felt confused.

"What is it? What is it?" 2x

Still—

"...just how small has it become?"

The quiet, gently braided young woman, Reya Kusaka, asked curiously with a blush since she knew how dirty her question was, but she was curious, okay? After all, it was her first time hearing such a curse.

"....."

Riser looked at Kusaka for a moment, causing her to lower her head shyly.

"Well, it should be as big as a grain now."

"....." Everyone.

Only Saji realized that Riser, the wife of his master, was definitely someone he couldn't turn into an enemy.

No matter what!
