Riser Phenex isn't a villain

"I know that it might be rude of me to give you advice—"

"No, no! It's okay. If you have any advice, please tell me. I want to listen."

After all, Riser was the only one that openly supported her dream.

Her peerage members might support her, but they didn't know the circumstances of the Underworld and the reality of the society of the devils.

However, Riser was different since he understood all of that, so his advice definitely was something worth listening to.

"Then... first, you mustn't open this school by yourselves. If possible, you should cooperate with someone to open this school, especially from the opposition of the Maou faction."

"Huh?"

"You should know even if your sister, Sirzech-sama, and the rest of Maous might have controlled half or almost the majority of the politics in the Underworld, it doesn't mean that they fully control it. There is an opposite faction known as the Great King Faction."

If there was someone who would oppose this school, then without a doubt, it was the Great King faction.

Unlike the Maou faction, which was liberal and hoped to develop, the Great King faction upheld the tradition. Definitely, it would oppose the change that happened in the Underworld, especially the changes that might endanger their rights.

The Rating Game school that Sona created would definitely bring a change to the Underworld as she gave a chance to the lower-class devil to participate in the game that was exclusively only participated by the high-class devil.

While the majority of those high-class devils knew those who graduated from this school would most likely only be able to enter a manager level of work, without a doubt, if Sona was given a chance to open this school, it would add the political power of the Maou faction, and it was definitely the last thing the Great King faction wanted to see.

Sona listened carefully and was stunned. She didn't deny him since she knew that he was correct. She wasn't stupid and understood how dirty politics was. It was also because of this she knew it was hard for her to create a school for the lower-class devil.

"Then...who should we cooperate with?"

If possible, Sona didn't want to cooperate with those from the Great King factions since if they existed, her school might be contaminated, but she knew that their existence was necessary if she wanted to create the school.

"What about that heir of the Great King? Saoraorg? Yeah, that's his name."

"That person?"

Sona recalled the person who came to their wedding.

As he had remembered most of the information of all the guests who came to his wedding, Riser also understood Sairaorg's history.

Unlike the usual heirs that were chosen directly from the patriarch's first child, Sairaorg was different. As he was part of the Bael family, he should inherit the "Power of Destruction." Unfortunately, he didn't, so he was kicked out by his father and not acknowledged as a child.

In the end, the heir's position was taken by the second child, but Sairaorg didn't give up and continued to train before he defeated his sibling, then retrieved the title of heir to the Bael House.

As someone who knew what despair was, Sairaorg would definitely be able to become a good ally for them to create their school since, without a doubt, he definitely would help those who were in despair like him.

Those lower-class devils were definitely those who were in despair.

"I will talk to him later."

"Thank you." Sona kissed him and thought that she should reward him well tonight.

"Still, this isn't the end."

"What's next?"

"The location of the school."

"Location?"

"As it is a corporation between two factions if the school is built on your domain, then it will make you appear superior, but if it's built on the Bael's clan domain, then it will make you appear underestimated, so you need to choose a neutral family. What's the name of your friend again? Seek-chan?"

"Seekvaria Agares."

"Yes, that one. If possible, you should make the first school in the domain of that family."

"I will talk to her." Sona agreed with this idea, but at the same time, she had to say everything became so complicated due to the politics.

However, once again, it was fortunate she had her husband, who could support and help her dream.

"Is there next?"

Sona asked eagerly.

"There is, and it might be the one that is the most difficult."

"What is it?"

"To announce your dream."

"...announce my dream?"

Riser nodded, then asked, "Now, you mention, when is your debut?"

"It should be at the beginning of summer."

"Then, you need to announce your dream in that place loudly and proudly." Riser stared at Sona and said, "Sona... while I believe in you, the others will mock you since you should know how the high-class devil views the lower-class devil."

How was the view of the high-class devil toward the lower-class devil?

They saw lower-class devil-like cattle, sows, and other animals. They had never thought that the lower-class devils were the same beings.

It was the case with Hyoudou Issei in the original story. Even though he was strong and the holder of "Boosted Gear," due to his status as the reincarnated devil and a low-class devil, he was subjected to much discrimination.

How many times has Hyoudou Issei been looked down upon or disdained in the story?

It couldn't be counted!

The only reason why this discrimination didn't feel that strong was that Issei had been looking at the breasts of the women or he was simply perverted, so most readers would focus on his antics instead of the discrimination of his enemy.

Nevertheless, everything changed due to the power that was shown by Issei.

In other words, as long as one was strong, one could do anything.

It was like Sirzech, who could do anything in the Underworld, or Issei, who could sexually harass someone without worry.

Strength is the strongest backing.

Riser suddenly remembered the words of his older brother.

'Rating Game...'

To not appear as a lazy bum who was lucky enough to marry a rich woman, Riser knew that he needed to show his worth. Even if he didn't mind being talked down upon, he didn't want his peerage members, families, and wife being persecuted, so he knew he needed to show his power.

It was like how a country would announce they had a nuclear bomb when they had one, so no one would mess up with them.

Riser had power, and he needed to show it to everyone, so no one would mess around with him.

The fastest way was through the Rating Game.

It was also the reason why his oldest brother, Ruval Phenex, told him to fight in the Rating Game, so he could be in the top 10 position.

However, Riser could do that later since he still has a lot of time since he needed to do more preparation, especially for his peerage members since they had just started their training.

As long as he did the Rating Game before Sona's debut, then it was okay.

"It's okay. I have you. Even if others mock me, I know that you will support me."

Sona smiled happily.

"...."

Riser decided to kiss his wife since she was so cute.

The two entangled for a moment before Sona helped him with her hands and mouth, which made him almost go berserk once again. Fortunately, his control was good, or else Sona might not be able to get up from bed today.

When the two finished their long bath and prepared to get food since they were ready, Sona still asked, "So, is that the last?"

"Yes, that's the last."

As for the others, it should be his turn.

The two then walked side by side, walking out of the room, but when they opened the door, it stuck into something.

"Eh?"

"It hurts!"

A familiar voice was heard, and Sona frowned.

Then, as expected, Serafall was there, holding her head painfully as she lay on the ground, crouching while showing her plump butts in their direction.

"Onee-chan..." Sona stared at her older sister helplessly, and Riser stared silently at his sister-in-law's butts.

"Sona-chan—" Serafall rubbed her head before abruptly stopping her voice when she looked at Sona. Unlike yesterday, this time, she could see the change in Sona.

Sona seemed to become an adult, her bud-like charm had bloomed, and there was this sensual aura around her.

Moreover, there were many kiss marks on her neck!

Yet, Sona didn't seem to care even if her hickeys were seen.

This change... this change...

Serafall couldn't control her emotions anymore!

"UWAAAAA~! SONA-CHAN HAS BECOME A WOMAN~! ONEE-CHAN IS SO SAD~! SONA-CHAN IS DUMMY~!"

Serafall cried as she ran away.

"..." 2x

"...shouldn't you chase after and coax her?" Riser asked in doubt.

"...strangely enough, I don't have the urge to strangle my older sister's neck now." Sona sighed, then looked at Riser. "Is it because of you?"

Was it?

Still, he ignored the part where Sona wished to strangle Serafall's neck.

"RISER-CHAN IS ALSO IDIOT~!"

"..."

Only Riser hoped that he wouldn't be troubled by Serafall after this.
