Do You Want To Copy!?
Chapter 4 - Do You Want To Copy!?
"The second method, does it refer to the plot characters that I know well in my memory?" I asked, voicing my doubts.
[The host can understand it this way]
The system replied in a cold mechanical voice.
[These plot characters significantly impact the entire anime world and can even affect another anime world, so they have a lot of cosmic points.]
"Just a simple touch, right?" I continued to ask.
[That's right]
The system confirmed.
[Just like when the host touched Ravel Phenex just now, you need to touch the bodies of those plot characters.]
I understood.
[Host, you now have 31,200 cosmic points. Do you want to copy?]
The system prompted.
"What copy!?" I asked.
The next moment, as I looked at the Phenex siblings, a virtual screen displayed a large row of data.

'It seems that I can't afford these things,' I thought, feeling somewhat depressed.
Although the devil's clothes were cheap, they didn't seem much different from clothes in the human world.
They weren't magical dresses filled with various effects like in fantasy novels.
"No, isn't there another option?" I suddenly set my gaze on Riser.
If I could absorb more cosmic points from him, I could copy something good.
"What are you looking at, you lowly human!" Noticing my gaze, Riser was distraught, especially since the gaze seemed to regard him as a rare item or commodity.
This kind of gaze made Riser very uncomfortable.
He was nobility among devils and had never been looked at with such disrespectful eyes.
I suddenly stood up, reached out, and slapped Riser's shoulder.
"You!" Riser's eyes widened immediately, and his face almost turned rageful, burning the surroundings.
In his eyes, a lowly human daring to touch his noble body was simply treasonous.
"Onii-sama!" Seeing that Riser was about to go berserk, Ravel immediately stopped him and yelled loudly.
[Congratulations to the host, getting 23,123 cosmic points]
The system's voice sounded in my mind. I was overjoyed but didn't remove my hand from Riser's shoulder.
"Riser Phenex, to be honest, if it weren't for your sister's reasonableness, I would call security and have a person with a sick mind like you thrown out," I said, bluffing.
"Hahahaha, I want to see how you throw me out," Riser burst out laughing, looking at me with a sneer.
How could he, a high-class devil, be thrown out by human security guards?
Even without using demonic power, his physical fitness alone was far superior to ordinary humans.
I chuckled and took my palm away from Riser's shoulder. "Our families made my marriage contract with your sister," I said unhurriedly. "Judging from your eagerness to come here, this marriage contract still has some binding force."
The marriage contract between me and Ravel was quite clichéd.
My great-great-grandfather once rescued a member of the Phenex Clan more than a hundred years ago.
While recovering from injuries, the Phenex Clan member became good friends with my great-great-grandfather and drunkenly made a marriage contract for their offspring.
However, the Toyoda family had only been passed down to me, and the Phenex Clan had no daughter at that time, so the engagement was naturally delayed.
Now, with me and Ravel, the marriage contract came into effect.
Ravel and Riser deliberately concealed their identities as devils, only mentioning that their family was foreign nobility.
They were unaware that I already knew their origins.
"So what," Riser sneered disdainfully. "Do you think a lowly human like you is worthy of my sister?"
Although the Phenex Clan never planned a political marriage for Ravel, they didn't want her to marry an ordinary human.
"If I don't agree to divorce, you have nothing you can do," I said with a smile.
"You!" Riser was taken aback, his expression turning ugly. "You can try. I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"What, are you going to be ungrateful?" I speculated that the person my great-great-grandfather saved was likely either Riser's father or grandfather.
Given devils' long lifespans, more than a hundred years could easily span only one generation.
To sustain severe and fatal injuries could likely be related to the civil war.
Recalling the plot of High School DxD, I remembered that it mentioned little about the Devil's Civil War, which occurred a few hundred years ago.
The life-saving grace from my great-great-grandfather was a significant kindness to the Phenex Clan.
After all, injuries severe enough to nearly kill a member of the Phenex Clan were undoubtedly uncommon.
