257 Smear

Laying on the bed as she took a potato chip, Kuroka played an FPS game absentmindedly. When her character died, she threw the gaming stick away as she lay on the bed in confusion. 

"...what is he planning to do, nyaa?" 

After she was caught by Riser, she was put into his villa. She thought he was interested in the information on her head as she was kept inside a dilapidated cell where there wasn't a single light. 

Yet, what she didn't expect was that she was put inside the room with a complete facility. There was even someone who sent her food three times a day, and she could even enjoy all the facilities inside without worry. The room where she stayed wasn't even locked. What was even crazier was the fact that her power wasn't even sealed, as she could use her power. 

Kuroka was confused and wondered whether Riser was interested in her body. While it might seem narcissistic, she knew she was beautiful, and moreover, there were two cats on his peerage. Moreover, before she passed out, she knew Riser let go of her because of Koneko. 

If Riser didn't have an interest in a cat woman, Kuroka wouldn't believe it. 

Yet, to her surprise, Riser didn't come to her. After he caught her and put her inside this room, he seemed to forget about her. To be honest, even if she wanted to run away, it was possible, but she didn't dare!

Koneko was on his hands. 

Bikou and Arthur were the same. 

Moreover, if she ran away, what would happen to her?

At that time, when Riser appeared, Kuroka was in despair as she knew everyone would die because of her. Sometimes, she wanted to do revenge by attacking his peerage members, who stayed in the same villa, but she could tell that they weren't weak, and she also hesitated to attack them as she thought the revenge that came from Riser definitely wasn't something that she could bear. 

"...just what do you want to do with me, nyaa...." 

Kuroka wondered what she should do, and at the same time, she felt regret for involving Bikou and Arthur in her problem. Still, to be honest, even if she knew it was wrong, this type of life wasn't bad. 

No one would chase after her; she could stay lazily as much as she wanted to, and all of her needs were taken care of. 

Whenever she needed something, someone would come and prepare it for them, and she only needed to enjoy her life without thinking about anything. 

Yet, could she enjoy all of this without knowing the purpose of Riser?

She couldn't do that, and that was why she wished to meet him, but it was fucking hard to meet him! 

—or rather, he forgot about her! 

While Kuroka didn't want to believe it, she could tell that Riser, the Lucifer and the strongest devil in the Underworld, had forgotten about her, the SS Rank criminal devil. 

Kuroka sighed as she rolled on her bed from right to left before she fell on the soft carpet. Making a grunting voice, she lay for a while before she got up, walking out of her room lazily. She walked around until she left the villa, watching the scenery outside.

From this point, she could run away, yet she didn't dare to step out. She looked at her beautiful, white feet for a while before letting out a long sigh and then returning to her room, but on the way, she happened to meet Isabella, Riser's rook. 

"What's wrong, Isabella, nyaa?" 

Unlike Isabella's previous tomboy-like appearance, Kuroka could see that Isabella had put on make-up carefully. 

"Oh, Kuroka." Isabella smiled and didn't even care about Kuroka's identity. "Riser-sama has returned. Tonight..." She didn't continue and lowered her head shyly. 

"You are going to mate, nyaa?" Kuroka asked bluntly. 

"Can you know some shame?!" 

"Anyway, where is your Riser-sama? I want to talk with him, nyaa!" It was rare for Riser to return, so Kuroka wouldn't let this chance go! 

"He is in his office—" 

Before Isabella finished her words, Kuroka had already left. Staying in this villa for a few days, she had familiarized herself with every corner of this place, and she even entered Riser's room, jumping into his bed as she rolled around, trying to put her scent into it. Naturally, she knew where the villa was. 

So, when Kuroka was right in front of the villa, she pushed the door directly. "Riser-sama!"

Riser was stunned for a moment, and his body jerked slightly, but he quickly showed a calm expression. "What are you doing here?" Saying those words, he focused on his job again. 

"When are you going to let me go, nyaa?" Kuroka didn't care about Riser's attitude and asked him that question. 

"If you want to go, then go." 

"..." 

Kuroka was speechless. This had always been his answer, but he let her do whatever he wanted so that she didn't dare to go out. Moreover, she knew if she left this place, she would become a criminal again, being chased by many, and by that time, her only destination was death. Even worse, Koneko, Bikou, and Arthur might be implicated in her actions. 

To be honest, Kuroka was satisfied with her life, but—

"Just what do you want to do with me, nyaa? Is it Vali?" Kuroka squinted her eyes at Riser. 

"If you are so free, why don't you just play a game on the computer or something instead of bothering me here?" 

"....." 

Kuroka was speechless and confused as she even became puzzled at what he wanted to do with her. She wanted to play like a spoiled child, throwing a tantrum that she wouldn't leave, but she didn't dare as she still remembered how callous and cold he was. Even if she were a beautiful woman, he would still kill her without even a single remorse. 

At the same time, Kuroka wondered what was so special about the women around him as he didn't show an interest in her. 

'I am better than them, nyaa!' 

Yet, Kuroka didn't dare to say those words. She pursed her lips and then asked, "What about Bikou and Arthur, nyaa?" 

"You don't need to worry about them. Compared to you, they have a good family." 

"..." 

Kuroka opened her lips and closed them again as she couldn't find a word to refute. 

Yes, Riser's words were correct. 

Compared to her two friends, Kuroka had nothing except for her little sister. However, that little sister was on hand with Riser. As for Bikou and Arthur, the two of them had a good family, so even if they were caught, their families might do something, but her?

Kuroka knew that she was abandoned and she had no place in this world. 

"If you have no place, then just stay." 

"...." 

Kuroka wiped away her eyes, then looked at him with a mocking expression, "So you are interested in my body, nyaa?" Still, she didn't reject him and was even eager to have him. 

"Yes." 

"....." Kuroka. 

"Stay in your room. I will come to your room later." Riser said calmly without even looking away from the document on his table. 

"...real?" Kuroka was dumbfounded. 

"Are you regretting your decision?" 

"You are the one who shouldn't regret it, nyaa! I will wait in your room so you can't escape, nyaa!" 

Kuroka left directly, but Riser reminded her. "Close the door and ask someone to get you a better kimono." 

"..." 

Kuroka stopped for a moment and looked at Riser to see whether he was joking or not, but the one who was afraid was a puppy, so after she closed his office, she left his room to prepare herself as she would be lying if she wasn't nervous about losing her first time.

When Kuroka left, Riser sighed in relief, then pushed his chair back slightly, looking at the figure below helplessly.

"Don't play this kind of game again, Ravel." 

"Hehe..." Ravel giggled and asked, "Is it not good, Onii-sama?" She licked her lips, trying to clean up the white stain that smeared on her mouth. 

"....." 

Riser was speechless and thought that having a peaceful day was so hard.
