Chapter 183: Each of their thoughts
Riser ignored Vali's reaction and spoke about the plan of how Vali was going to kill Sirzech before he left quietly.
As for whether Vali was going to do it or not, Vali didn't have a choice, especially when his family was in Riser's hands.
"I believe in you, Vali. As the White Dragon Emperor and the descendant of the Lucifer, you should be able to do it. Oh, right, you shouldn't tell anyone. The moment you tell someone... I don't need to remind you, right?"
Then, as Riser disappeared without leaving any traces, the barrier that surrounded them disappeared, and Vali returned to reality as he thought everything was a dream, especially when Vali was no longer feeling the pain in his chest as his body healed.
Yet, he knew what had happened previously was a reality.
"...are you going to do it?" Albion asked uneasily. "You should know how hard his request is and what your actions might bring to the people in your surroundings?"
"Do I have a choice?"
No, Vali didn't have a choice.
Whether he wished for it or not, he could only do it as he knew he couldn't fight that demon's words.
Nevertheless, Vali was glad that he didn't need to kill Azazel or the acquaintances.
As for Sirzech?
Even though Vali had to say sorry as Sirzech had saved him, his family was more important, and as he had said before, he didn't have any choices. Moreover, Sirzech was just a stranger to him.
Yet, with his tiny brain and naive attitude, Vali might not understand the consequences of his action and what kind of chain reactions his action would bring.
However, he understood the feeling of regret, especially when trying to fight him.
However, there was nothing he could do, and he needed to go back lest he make Azazel realize everything.
Unlike before, his steps were weaker, and he felt frightened, as if he could feel eyes that stared at him from the dark, threatening him and all the people in his surroundings anytime, anywhere, the moment he opened his mouth.

Aika Kiryu wasn't sure how many times she had done this. She lay on her bed in a daze as she looked at the worn-out summoning paper that she picked that day, hoping the one that she sought after would come out.
Yet, no matter how many times she wished, he didn't come out as if his existence was just a dream.
Would they not be able to meet each other again?
When she thought of this, her eyes were filled with tears, crying.
Yet, how could she not be?
For the first time, she had fallen to someone. Even though this "someone" wasn't a human like her, he was a devil, and there was no doubt what she felt about him.
Nevertheless, even though he suddenly disappeared out of nowhere, she didn't give up and continued to search for him.
As she made up her mind, she used her "Feng Shui," letting her luck lead her to the best path that could make her reach her destination and achieve her wish to meet him.

Akeno, who had washed her body, prepared to sleep, but unlike before, "he" wasn't by her side. Was it even possible for him to return?
Akeno knew that the conflict between Riser and Sirzech had reached the point where neither would back down. It wouldn't be weird if they tried to kill each other again, and as the servant of the Grimory, it was impossible for her to go after Riser since it was a betrayal, and in the worst case, she might be killed.
Yet when she thought about the world without him, there was no doubt such a world was definitely not something that was worthy of living.
However, she didn't plan to commit suicide as a small hope still remained within her heart.
Even if she knew it might be impossible, as she knew how resolute he was when he had made his decision, deep in her heart, she wished for him to think of her inside his heart.
Laying on her bed, she couldn't help but reminisce about their meetings.
In the beginning, she seduced him, and he moved onto her even though she knew what she did might cause him nothing but trouble.
So, was this her punishment?
Was this her karma?
Yet, if he didn't meet her, then it was okay.
Like before, she should be satisfied with observing him from a distance.
That was enough for her, but—
He didn't hide his presence; the moment he came, she quickly noticed it. She rose from her futon and opened the sliding door near her room.
There, she saw the figure that she had been wishing to meet.
Yet, her feelings were complex. She was happy to see him, but at the same time, she wondered whether it was okay for him to be near him, especially when her existence would bring him nothing but trouble.
However, her thoughts didn't matter to him as he hugged and kissed her lips.
It had been a while since they were together, and she was in the trace as they kissed while subconsciously sticking out her tongue like a trained dog, but then she realized what she was doing, wishing to get away as she was afraid that she would bring him misfortune and disaster, yet... in the end, she couldn't.
She hugged him tightly and didn't let him go like someone who was trapped in the desert and found an oasis for the first time. She greedily sought after his existence as she ignored her shame, acting like a lewd little animal.
"I-Impregnate me~!"
There were no words from him.
Riser was like a wild stallion that was going to impregnate this lewd mare.
Yet, as the two were mating like animals, a petite figure stood in the corner, watching them quietly as she covered her mouth with her hands and widened her eyes as she was in shock at what she had seen.
