Chapter 46: Riser is working hard
Riser dreamed of having a happy life with his women without working all of his life.
Yet, such a wish was hard, especially when his sister-in-law suddenly came.
On the day when they were about to live in this villa, Serafall suddenly came to his castle and naturally followed him.
With Serafal by his side, it was impossible for him to appear unscrupulous.
If he dared to do so, Serafall might show him why she was being chosen as a Maou Leviathan.
Nevertheless, it was only a day, so he decided to bear with it.
Moreover, he knew how busy Serafall was since not only did she need to act on her tv show, Miracle Levia-tan. As a Maou Leviathan, there were many things that she needed to do, especially when she was in charge of Foreign Affairs.
Under the Maou faction, the Underworld had been peaceful, but it didn't mean there weren't any problems in the Underworld.
With how busy she was, it was already impressive that she could give her day to him, so he didn't hesitate to invite her to his new villa.
As expected, Serafall enjoyed this place a lot.
"Serafall-oneesama, you can't interrupt Onii-sama."
Ravel quickly followed Serafall with a helpless sigh.
"It's okay, Ravel. I have just finished my work. How about we have a break? Marion had just baked an orange pie."
"Orange pie!" Serafall was excited. "I want to~! I want to~!"
Still, watching one of the top devils act like a child, all the peerage members of Riser felt speechless and dumbfounded, but after staying with Serafall for a while, they also had gotten used to her and did their best to serve her, and he gave this job to Ravel.
"Well, if that's the case..."
Hearing his older brother's words, Ravel also felt happy; then, everyone gathered together to have a tea break together as they talked about this new villa. Naturally, they felt amazed by the beauty of nature, and they could feel that their bodies felt so much better, especially when they soaked themselves in the hot spring pool in this villa.
"It's great that you like it."
"But Riser-chan, did you make this villa with Japanese design because of Sona-chan?" Serafall asked curiously as she ate her orange pie.
"Well, this is a hot spring resort. In the human world, the only country that takes utmost importance from hot springs is Japan."
While he mostly used Japanese culture as a basis for design, he also added other cultures from various countries, such as Austria and China. However, the main thing was Japan since, among all the countries he knew, it had the most comfortable design for a hot spring.
It was also because of this that all the girls were wearing yukata and had moist skin due to the moisture after they dipped in the hot spring.
"You hate it?"
"I love it!"
There was no doubt that Serafall loved this place!
If there was a utopia or heaven in the Underworld, it might not be wrong to say this was the place.
Riser's architectural design had such a charm, which amazed her, but his knowledge of Feng Shui was the one that shocked her the most.
"But Onii-sama, how did you know Feng Shui that much?"
Frankly, not only Ravel but all of his peerage members were curious. Nevertheless, the effect of Feng Shui was good since whenever they trained in the place, the effectiveness of their training increased several times.
"Did you not know that our family has a relationship with Fenghuang? Our family has a lot of knowledge of China due to that connection."
There were many similarities between Phenex as a devil, Phoenix in the Greek myth, and Fenghuang in the Chinese myth. Due to that connection, the relationship between the three was pretty good since they had a sense of comradeship.
Moreover, Riser didn't lie since there were many books about Chinese in his family's library.
"So, that's why you have practiced kung fu." Serafall nodded in understanding as she continued to eat the orange pie since it was delicious.
"...it's Bajiquan, but whatever."
Anyway, in the eyes of foreigners, all the martial arts in China were called kung fu.
Moreover, Serafall was a devil, so common sense in the human world wasn't her forte, even though she was the one in charge of Foreign Affairs.
Still, due to this talk about Kungfu, some of his members lowered their heads.
Riser also sighed at this situation since even though he had taught all of his members Bajiquan, not everyone could learn at the passable level.
Naturally, many were talented, such as Isabella, his Rook; Ni and Li, two Nekomatas, his pawns; Xuelan, his rook; and Mira, his pawn, were all skillful at Bajiquan.
As for Ile and Nel, two of his pawns, even though they weren't that skillful at Bajiquan, their skill wasn't that bad, especially when their main weapon was a chainsaw.
Riser had made them a better chainsaw with the rare metal mine nearby that was found by the system. Using that metal, he easily created a chainsaw that could cut a gigantic rock like paper, which they loved. Moreover, they could absorb his teaching of fire magic and learn various tricks.
Frankly, Riser had an idea about what he should do with Ile and Nel, so he didn't need to worry about them.
As for his queen, Yubelluna; Mihae, his bishop; and Ravel, his little sister, they were even skillful at learning his fire magic, so even if they didn't do well on Bajiquan, it didn't really matter.
After all, he also felt it was a waste of time if they learned something they weren't good with. Instead, they might as well have focused on what their advantages were. While their status might not be balanced, others could protect them, and he also didn't want to train them into a half-assed balance type of fighter since such a type was simply meaningless.
In his case, the extreme type, where they focused on the development of their advantage and talent, was something that he sought.
As for his Karlamine and Siris, who was his knight, there was no need to worry about them since he had a sword technique he got from the system.
The "Claymore Techniques" was a powerful technique, and this technique was enough to make Karlimine and Siris become masters of swords in the Underworld.
While it might be strange, he taught this sword technique to Ile and Nel even though they used a chainsaw, but the effect was good, and they could apply the sword technique to their chainsaw.
Still, like Ile and Nel, he also gave a sword to Karlamine and Siris, and naturally, those swords were made with rare metal.
However, while everything went well with most of his peerage members, the minority couldn't learn his knowledge well.
Marion, Burent, and Shuriya—his three pawns.
Unlike most of his pawns, who were well-versed in the close-combat battle, the three didn't do well in close combat. Even worse, their talent in magic wasn't that good, either. They might be able to learn the three fire magics that he tasked all of them to learn, but more than that, it might be difficult.
Yet, this wasn't something so surprising since Marion and Burent were his maids.
Shuriya... was his dancer?
Anyway, this should be the case with Shuriya since she wore a dancer-like dress most of the time.
So, he had been thinking about how to make all of them powerful.
"Marion, Burent, Shuriya."
The three of them who had lowered their heads had their bodies tense, thinking that Riser might get angry at them since they couldn't do well on their training. This was also the reason they worked really hard to seduce him since that way, he wouldn't get angry. Unfortunately, Serafall came, so their plan had all gone a failure.
However—
"Do you want to learn firearms?"
"...." 3x
The three blinked their eyes.
"—eh?" 3x
