68 Human world, I, Riser Phenex, is coming!
In the Underworld, while many things happened, everyone in his villa had a good time.
Even Rias, who came with no good intentions, also had her share of fun.
Nevertheless, when Rias had fun in the Underworld, Issei, Kiba, Asia, and Koneko trained hard in the human world.
Not only due to the ball tournament that would be held by the Kuoh Academy, but their loss against Riser also boosted their spirit to train harder since that feeling of losing was so uncomfortable, and they didn't want to feel it anymore, especially Issei.
Issei might not have a brain, as his brain was used on his lower body all the time, but he had guts!
This was the only thing that he didn't think he would lose to anyone.
There was no doubt his loss against Riser that day hit him so much.
Even now, the feeling of his entire body being grilled and burnt under his armor could still be felt.
Like the feeling when he was killed by his first girlfriend that day, the feeling when he was defeated by Riser still existed as a part of his trauma, yet he wouldn't stop. He vowed to become stronger and became part of Buchou's strength!
Be the strongest pawn for Buchou!
That was his current wish!
Naturally, his spirit also affected the others.
Whether it was Kiba Yuuto, Rias's Knight; Koneko, Rias's Rook; and Asia Argento, Rias's new Bishop, all of them were training hard so they could become stronger and also win during the ball tournament.
"I wonder what Buchou is doing at the Underworld..."
After they trained hard, they took a break and decided to gather together at Issei's house.
Unlike in the original, where his house was built with magic and had six floors along with several underground floors, turned into a super-ultra luxurious house, his current house was the same as ever.
After all, Rias didn't live in Issei's place like in the original and continued to live in her place.
If there was someone who still followed the original, then it was Asia, who was living in Issei's house.
Nevertheless, even if Asia lived in Issei's house, there was not much change in his house since whether his house would be renovated was due to Rias's presence; without her presence, there wouldn't be such an amazing house.
However, this was still comfortable, so Koneko, Kiba, and Asia could gather in peace.
"Well, Buchou has her own problem." Kiba could only show an awkward smile when he thought of his master's problem. After all, being divorced in front of everyone like that, then her former fiance married her best friend; with Rias's prideful nature, it was amazing that Rias didn't go berserk.
"Uwaaaa~! I miss Buchou's boobs~!"
Issei cried desperately as he thought he hadn't seen Buchou's boobs.
Unlike before, when he could enjoy Buchou's boobs anytime, after that time, he couldn't even see a single glimpse of those boobs that he had always dreamed of. Even though he always dreamed of those boobs almost every night, it was only a dream.
Issei wanted to touch and rub Rias's boobs like before!
Yet.. yet.. now?
Did such a chance ever exist from now on?
If not, then he would cry!
Hearing those words, Kiba and Asia laughed awkwardly.
"Pervert."
Koneko stared at Issei with a deadpan expression as she continued to eat her snacks.
But then, Asia showed a sad expression and said sincerely, "But... Buchou hasn't been smiling, and we almost haven't gathered at the Occult Research Club now."
As a nun, Asia had a kind and gentle heart. Rias was someone who had helped her and saved her life, so naturally, she was worried about Rias.
Moreover, after that fight and loss, Asia could feel the change in Rias. She might not have appeared in the fight, but she could feel the change in everyone after Riser broke his engagement with Rias.
"Akeno-fukubuchou is there. There is no need to worry."
Koneko was also worried, but she knew that as long as there was Akeno, everything was okay.
"Yes, Akeno-fukubuchou will do something." Kiba also nodded.
However, Issei—
"Dammit, everything is because of that Grilled Chicken! If it's not because of that guy... then... then..."
Even now, Issei was still vexed and frustrated by that loss.
Because of this, Issei also put all the blame on Riser, yet at the same time, he knew how helpless he was currently when he faced the devil, who he always mocked as a Grilled Chicken.
"Issei-kun, while I know that I might sound harsh to say this, you shouldn't say something bad about Riser-sama."
"Kiba, you...!" Issei looked at Kiba in shock.
Kiba shook his head. "I am saying this for your own good. You should know that he is a high-class devil. If he wants to kill you, Sirzech-sama and Buchou can't do anything. Moreover, we don't have any relationship with him anymore. Buchou is free. They won't marry each other in the future, especially when he and Sona Sitri-kaichou have married each other."
"I... I know, but..."
Even so, Issei was still frustrated by that loss!
Moreover, while his brain was a bit slow, Issei knew that by provoking Riser, he was asking for death. While Riser was hateful, he was still a high-class devil. Meanwhile, he was just a low-class devil. The difference between their statuses was like the earth and the sky.
Nevertheless, if there was something that he was happy about, then it would be the fact that Rias and Riser wouldn't be together from now on.
This greatly relieved him.
The only thing he was jealous of was that Grilled Chicken could marry Sona after he divorced Rias.
Wasn't Riser too lucky?
Issei felt that this guy was the protagonist of this world!
Frankly, Issei didn't think that Sona was as good as Rias, but there was no doubt that Sona was beautiful.
Watching such a beautiful girl fall at the hands of that scumbag, Issei felt that it was painful.
Why could such a scumbag be so popular with women, yet he could only continue to watch porn and masturbate?
The world was unfair!
As Issei continued to cry, his mother suddenly came and shared his childhood photo with everyone, which made him embarrassed, but Asia was interested.
Koneko's eyes were a bit dull, and seemed as bored as ever, but she also made fun of Issei from time to time.
The atmosphere between everyone was good until Kiba noticed one photo.
"Issei-kun, this photo is...?"
"Ah, that's my neighbor."
"This sword... do you remember it?"
"Well, I am not sure. It's been so long, after all."
"Is that so?"
Yet, no one noticed that Kiba's expression had changed, and he became emo-like as if his life was full of hatred and revenge.
Still, as Issei enjoyed his weekend, he didn't know that his nightmare was about to come.

"But Onii-sama..."
"I am not going to stay that long, and I need you to help me with training them, Ravel."
Ravel was aggrieved since she couldn't follow her older brother to the human world.
Yes, as Serafall had made an appointment for him with Nurarihyon, Riser decided to go to the human world, asking his subordinate to teach Ni and Li, his Nekomata pawns, to learn Youkai's ability.
If Riser was a Youkai, then he might be able to help, but what was he?
So, he could only go to the human world to visit the leader of the youkai, asking him to let someone help Ni and Li.
"I will buy you a souvenir later."
He gently caressed her hair.
Still, her mood couldn't be better since she knew they would be separated for quite a while. Even though she knew he wouldn't stay that long, she was unwilling when she thought they would be separated.
However, she suddenly thought of an idea.
"...well, if you kiss me, then..."
"....."
Riser looked at Ravel helplessly. While he wished to maintain the status quo, he felt fate tried to push him into the abyss.
[The toilet is empty. If you bring Ravel there, then—]
Riser ignored the system but was still amazed since the system didn't seem to give up. Nevertheless, he lifted Ravel's bangs and kissed her forehead gently.
"I will go now."
He patted her head, then left with his wife and the others who had been waiting for him.
Ravel looked at the back of her older brother as she gently caressed her forehead. Even now, she could still feel the warmth of his lips, and that was enough to bring her a smile.
Meanwhile, Riser was quite excited since it was his first time as a Riser Phenex to go to the human world.
'Human world, I, Riser Phenex, is coming!'
