Chapter 83: Like a moth

Chapter 83: Like a moth

"...you live in the shrine?"

Riser looked at Akeno speechlessly since, as a devil, wasn't it weird of her to live in the shrine?

"Are you scared, Riser-sama?" Akeno smiled.

Riser rolled his eyes; why would she love to make such a cheap provocation?

"I do."

"Why?"

"I am scared that you might attack me."

Akeno pouted when she was being teased.

Facing a virgin, she might be able to win, especially Issei, who would get nosebleed every time she said something in a sweet voice, but no matter how good she teased a virgin, the fact she was still inexperienced and a virgin didn't change.

Facing an experienced man like him, she could only submit.

"By the way, are you living alone or with someone?"

"No, I am living alone." She smiled once again when he asked this question.

"The others are the same?"

"Yes." Akeno nodded. "Everyone lives in a different place, except for Asia, who lives with Issei. Aren't you the same?"

"Well, Sona's peerage members don't live in the same place as her."

However, he knew that this wasn't the one she asked about, but there was no way he would explain his life with his peerage.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

Fortunately, Akeno didn't press him even further since they had arrived at her living place.

If others might have an apartment, house, or even a mansion to live in, then Akeno's place was a little different since she used an old shrine as a living place.

According to the architecture and the entire layout of this place, it should be a Shinto Shrine, which was the most popular religion in this country.

Though he had to say, it felt a little prickly when he entered this place as it was a place dedicated to praying to the Shinto Gods.

Nevertheless, it might be because Akeno was a devil that there was no presence of the gods, so even if this place might seem like a Shinto shrine, it was nothing but a building.

Yet, it didn't change the fact that he might need preparation to get comfortable with the feeling of entering this place.

"Please come in, Riser-sama."

As the owner, after Akeno opened the lock, she guided him to enter her house.

"Then, excuse me."

"Fufufui..."

"...why did you suddenly laugh?"

"Nothing." Akeno smiled. "It was just you were the first guy who entered my house."

"...I am not sure how to react to that."

If he was single, then he would be pleased, but he was a married man, okay?

Could he say that he was happy?

Then, where was the face of his wife?

After all, in case he was attacked by an aggressive female youkai, he didn't have the confidence to reject it.

However, whether they were healthy or not was questionable.

Even though he had a "Healthy Body," which made him immune to any diseases, including STDs, he just couldn't help buy a condom, okay?

Moreover, he didn't want a random youkai to have his first children, especially when his wife hadn't gotten pregnant.

Still, when he was in the living room, he couldn't help but notice Akeno, who was in the kitchen, wearing an apron, tied her hair in a long ponytail that showed her graceful neck, and cooked dinner for him like a virtuous wife.

When she stretched her hand up to reach for the condiments or bent down to reach a cooking tool, her breasts seemed to follow the movement of her body. They were wonderful, but at the same time, they were also heavy, which made him quite cornered.

"Do you need me to help you, Akeno Himejima?"

Riser thought that he needed to help her.

"It's okay, Riser-sama. What would someone say if I had my guest to help me with this small thing?"

If Akeno said that she would be troubled due to his status, then he would help since, as someone with a high status, who cares about the words of others?

However, she told him that it was hospitality and was also probably her education from childhood.

Moreover, probably, she also had gotten used to a hard life.

Did he feel sorry?

Well, he did since he felt that she was in the same situation as him, who had become nothing but a piece on the top of the chess board.

However, he was lucky that his family was a great family, and he also had the help of his sister-in-law, so everything was okay, but Akeno?

As long as Rias ordered something, there was nothing that Akeno could do unless Akeno's parents might be someone important or powerful, but who would become a devil when one had a complete family?

Becoming a reincarnated devil wasn't an easy choice as one's life would change, but then again, being a devil also gave one an opportunity.

"By the way, Riser-sama, can I have a request?"

"Request?"

"It is only a small request, though."

"What's wrong?"

"Can-Can you just call me Akeno? I-I mean when we're alone like this."

If Riser called her by her given name when Rias was present, Akeno was sure that her master would glare at her.

"Okay, Akeno."

"....."

"Thank you, Riser-sama~!"

"..."

Riser, who was about to reach the remote for television, then noticed Akeno's ponytail that moved like the tail of the happy puppy.

"..."

Was it something so special to be called by the given name?

Riser thought that he might need to learn about this country well.

As she heard the sound of the television, Akeno turned and looked at Riser, who made himself so comfortable as if he was really at home. Watching him was enough to put her with a smile since she thought that having someone by her side was really nice.

Still, as he heard him call her given name, she was afraid that she might plunge into the fire like a moth that was unafraid of the fire.
