Chapter 91: Do you believe in gravity?
"You are just throwing it like that?"
"Yes."
There was no way for the discussion to last forever, but while they talked quite late, many of them quickly left when it was over, as it was easy to tell that Sona wished them to leave as soon as possible.Ñ00v€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.
Nevertheless, Rias wanted to stay, but Sona didn't let her and forced her to leave since she was bothering them.
So, in the end, Rias could only leave resentfully, but she didn't give up as she also invited him to dinner to apologize for Issei's rudeness.
Sona didn't have a reason to reject this since even if this vixen tried to seduce her husband every time there was a chance, she didn't want the relationship between her husband, the Gremory House, and Sirzech to be stiff.
—or rather, it was also Serafall's wish so the three of them could become friends with each other, especially when all of them were part of the Maou Faction.
Nevertheless, there was no way for Sona to give her husband to Rias.
It was all over her dead body!
Still, watching their confrontation, Riser could only feel speechless, but he decided to ignore it since he just wanted to spend a night with his wife, trying the costumes and ropes he had bought previously.
Then, in the morning, when they had woken up, Sona was speechless by his action.
The summoning flier, which was made by Riser previously, was thrown randomly using his wind ability.
Usually, the devil would give the flier or let their "Familiar" distribute the summoning fliers on the street, especially those who were greedy.
However, Riser didn't do all of that.
He just randomly threw his flier outside the window, letting the wind bring it.
"Do you believe in gravity, Sona?"
"...what were you saying in the early morning?"
What was the connection between gravity and his flier?
"Frankly, I don't care about this flier at all. If someone can't pick it up and it falls on the river before it is thrown into the sea, I am okay with it, but even with such a possibility, someone can still pick it up. Don't you think that it works like fate?
"It is like gravity pulls us together."
"....."
Sona blinked her eyes as she understood the novelty of his action.
After all, if there was really a chance that his flier was picked up by someone, then wasn't it like fate?
Wasn't it like gravity pulled them together?
However, in her eyes, this devil summoning was nothing but a job.
It wasn't something as romantic in his eyes.
Still, Riser was having fun, so it didn't matter.
Nevertheless, Sona thought that the chance of his flier falling on the river and not being picked up by someone was higher. Even if it was picked up by someone, she knew that he might not answer the summoning.
Why?
It was because she could tell that he didn't really have much of an interest in summoning the devil.
If there was a reason why he took an interest in it before, probably because he was just bored.
As for gravity or even fate?
She was sure that this guy was just saying nonsense. It was his sophistry.
"Well, I need to go to school. I will see you later."
Sona kissed his cheek intimately.
Riser, who was still half-asleep and appeared quite sloppy, felt his wife was lovely.
"I have cooked you breakfast. You can eat when you feel hungry."
"....."
Riser looked at his sweet wife, who showed such a gentle and caring expression, yet when he thought about her horrible cooking skills, he could only rub his stomach helplessly.
"Ah, good morning, Kaichou."
All of them answered subconsciously. Still, they wanted to ask her a question, wondering who that man was, but it was hard for them to ask that question, especially—
"Good morning, Rias."
"...good morning, Sona."
Watching the soft, gentle, yet happy expression on Sona's face, Rias dug her nails deeply into her palms, almost causing them to bleed, showing how jealous and how much she wished to be in Sona's place.

Nevertheless, Riser didn't know what kind of thought Rias had as he didn't have a mind-reading ability.
When everyone was at the school, he spent his time playing around, trying new foods, playing games in the game hall, or sometimes helping the young mother who was in need of help.
The last one aside, Riser enjoyed his life much since it had been a while for him to have such a normal life.
Life without worrying about anything.
A peaceful life.
Yet, he knew that everything was only a momentary and soon everything would be over, so he knew he had to treasure every moment, yet when he was eating takoyaki while walking, he saw a bizarre scene.
"Please give blessings to the lost lamb."
"Please give charity to us on behalf of the Father in heaven!"
He saw two girls wearing white robes praying on the road. There was no doubt they were standing out, and the people around them were looking at them with odd gazes. Still, he could tell that they seemed to be in trouble, especially when the two of them were staring at him.
No, they were staring at the takoyaki in his hands.
The hot and sizzling takoyaki balls seemed to emit a hot haze, tempting anyone who saw it.
The shaved katsuobushi on the top seemed to dance and invite anyone to eat.
The fresh seafood aroma and the delicious sauces also permeated the surroundings.
*Gulp!* 2x
Riser could hear the gulping sound of the two as they were looking at his takoyaki.
The two also somehow started at him with a pitiful and hopeful gaze.
He took his chopstick and picked one of the takoyaki, jiggling around, showing how soft yet firm its texture was.
Though, Riser ate the takoyaki without hesitation and even enjoyed it in front of them.
"Delicous~!"
"...." 2x
*Growl~!*
The two even became hungry as they kept staring at him as if hoping for a certain something, but—
Riser ate all of the takoyaki in front of them like a devil while showing how much he enjoyed it without even any intention to share a single takoyaki.
"It's good."
"..."
It was good, but then why did you have to eat in front of us?!
Somehow, the two had the urge to beat him up, but as the servants of God, there was no way for them to do such a cruel and rude act unless the one in front of them was a devil.
However, for someone who dared to do such a malicious act...
There was no doubt this guy was definitely a devil!
They must exorcist him!
However, like the whisper of the angel, he asked them, "Do you want to eat?"
"..." 2x
Was he an angel sent by the Lord?
The two thought at the same time.
