The next day Tatsuya and the others went to the school normally as Tatsuya had not yet told them that Riser would be visiting today. The school went on normally and at the end of the the rest of his team decided to go home and practice with their familiars much to Tatsuya's surprise.
Currently outside the ORC clubhouse:
Isami and Kiba were walking towards the clubroom and Isami asked Kiba, "Kiba why was the prez spacing out yesterday? Do you have any idea?"
Kiba looked at her and shook his head and said, "Sorry I have no idea about that. Maybe some internal affair of the Gremory house."
Isami Though for a while and then asked, "Do you think Akeno-san would know about it?"
Kiba gave a smile and said, "I think she must know. She is President's right hand woman afterall."
Suddenly both Kiba and Isami got alert and Isami said, "There is someone inside the clubroom. You know that person Kiba?"
Kiba was surprised to see that Isami was able to sense the person inside the clubroom as well and now understood how effective Tatsuya's training was. Kiba then came out of his stupor and said, "Yes I recognise this energy signature. Don't worry this person is not an enemy and then started walking towards the clubroom.
Isami looked at his back and then shrugged her shoulders and started following him.
Soon both of them came inside and opened the meeting room door. As soon as they opened the door the rest of the members of the Gremory group came into sight along with a silver haired maid wearing a blue and white french maid attire.
Rias then looked towards the door and asked, "You both are finally here. Where are the others?"
Isami looked at Rias and said, "The girls went back to train with their familiars though that was just an excuse and are now doing some shopping together, and Tatsuya went to the Student Council to help them with som work. But who is she?" while pointing at the maid.
Grayfia hearing her question bowed and said, "Nice to meet you I am Grayfia Lucifuge a maid of the Gremory household."
Rias nodded her head and said, "Ok, Now there is something that I have to tell you."
Grayfia looked at Rias and asked, "Rias-sama do want me to explain the situation?"
Rias raised her hand inorder to stop her and said, "Let me do it." She then looked at the others and said, "The truth is-"
But before she was able to say anything the room lit up in flames and there was a huge orange coloured magic circle on the floor. Kiba looked at circle and muttered with a slight venom in his voice, "Phenex"
Then a blonde haired man dressed in red suit and pants with a whit shirt underneath the coat appeared from the circle.
The blonde man said, "Riser haven't been to the human realm for quite some time."
He then looked at Rias and said, "Riser have come for you Rias my love." with a cocky tone.
Isami clearly not liking his tone looked at the Grayfia and asked, "Who is he?"
Grayfia kept her eyes shut and said, "He is Riser Phenex-sama a pure blodded devil from the Phenex household and fiancee to the heir of the Gremory household."
Isami then processed the information she just recieved and said, "Fiancee to the heir of the Gremory household. Then that means he is-"
Grayfia nodded her head and said, "Yes, Riser-sama is engaged to lady Rias."
Isami looked at Riser with a shocked expression when she heard that.
----------
Right now both Riser and Rias are sitting on a sofa together close to each other and Riser is was playing with Rias's hair.
Akeno then came closer to him with tea and some refreshments and placed it on the table. Riser took a sip and said, "My, Rias's queen's tea is absolutely delicious."
Akeno looked at him with and expressionless face and said with a bow, "Thanks a lot for your praise" and then moved away.
Riser then placed the cup on the table and then started carresing Rias's thighs making her peerage grit their teeth in anger.
Rias who finally had enough of her being harrased by him stood up and said, "Enough Riser, I have already told you, i will not be marrying you."
Riser then stood up as well and said, "But Rias hasn't your father already made the things clear, you are in no position to be selfish."
Rias looked at him and said, "I am not going to sully my family name. I will take a husband but that person would be someone I want to be with."
Riser then said, "Marriage between pure blooded devils like us is important as the number of pure blooded devils has greatly decreased after the previous war. And keeping that in mind our fathers decided to engage us for the good of the devil society."
Rias then said, "My father is definitely rushing things too much without even my consent. Anyway I will not say it again, Riser I have no intention of marrying you."
Riser who was now a bit pissed of lifted Rias's chin using his hand and said, "Don't forget it Rias, Riser is the face of the Phenex clan here and Riser will not allow you to sully Riser's name. Riser will take you back to the Underworld even if that requires Riser to incinerate all of your servants."
After that both of them released their auras and Grayfia was about to stop them but before she was able to there was a knock on the door followed by a voice, "I am coming in."
Hearing the voice the Gremory peerage along with Grayfia had a relieved expression on their faces. Rias was a bit panicking definitely not wanting Tatsuya to hear about her engagement and Riser was sweating bullets on recognising the voice.
The door opened and Tatsuya came inside with a bundle of documents in his hands and said, "Sona sent some documents and wants you to go through them."
He then looked at Riser and said, "Oh, if it isn't my dear old friend Riser."
Riser who heard him immediately tried to maintain the expression on his face and gave a 90°bow and said, "Nice to meet you again Tatsuya-san, Riser hopes that you are doing great."
All of them in the room except Tatsuya and Grayfia were shocked on seeing the sudden change in Riser's behaviour. They were not able to believe that the person who was being so arrogant just a second ago was now bowing his head and talking politely to their friend.
Rias looked at Tatsuya and asked, "Do you happen to know each other."
Before Tatsuya was able to answer her Isami said, "Ah! Now I remember where have I heard his name before. The others told me while training that there was once a person named Riser who was acting very cocky in front of Tatsuya and Tatsuya made that person's dick attached to his forehead after defeating him."
The room was completely silent after Isami said that. Rias and her peerage turned their heads and were holding back their laugh. Even Grayfia was was shaking a bit from holding back her laugh.
Tatsuya decided to calm the situation and walked towards Riser and moved his hand and said, "I hope that you are doing fine, what is the business that you come here for."
Riser shook his hand and felt a bit grateful that he neutralised the situation as he was feeling humiliated that time.
Riser then said, "Yes Riser is doing completely fine thanks for asking and Riser is here to bring my fiance back to the underworld to commence our marriage."
He then looked at at Rias and said, "But Rias here is being selfish and is not going back to the Underworld with Riser even if it is for the good of the devil race."
Tatsuya looked at Rias who looked down with a sad expression on her face.
He then sighed and said, "Look I am not a bearded old man who keeps on saying "For the greater good." What I believe is marriage should only be done when there is consent from both the parties even if it is arranged."
He then again looked at Rias and said, "And seeing how sad Rias is I think she definitely don't want this marriage."
Riser who was surprised by what Tatsuya just said was a bit angry and then said, "Then what should Riser do, just go back to the Underworld like this. Riser cannot do that. The name of the Phenex family will be ruined if something like that happens."
Riser was getting agitated by each and every word he was saying and noticing that Tatsuya started to release his own aura which made the atmosphere around them quite tensed.
Feeling the pressure from Tatsuya's aura Riser gulped his saliva and bowed his head and said, "Riser is sorry about that."
Tatsuya nodded and stopped releasing his aura and said, "Don't worry about that and I am not saying that you just forgot about the marriage."
Tatsuya then looked at Grayfia and said, "Seeing that instead of just a letter or message Grayfia came in-person only means that the red-headed sis-con had already expected such a situation to arise, right Grayfia."
Grayfia nodded her head and said, "Just like Tatsuya-sama said, Sirzechs-sama has already expected such a situation to arise and has decided on a last resort measure if no conclusion is reached."
Rias looked at Grayfia and asked, "Last resort?"
Grayfia said, "If you are so insistent on breaking your engagement with Riser-sama then you can do that by winning a rating game against Riser-sama."
On her word the discussion about the rating game started among the Gremory group.
Riser then showed a slight smile and said, "Riser has participated in a rating game and has won many of them as well."
He then looked at Rias and said, "You, who are still not old enough to join the rating game is an amateur and have no experience."
He then asked, "Rias just asking is this your whole peerage?"
Rias then crossed her arms and said, "No Tatsuya is not in my peerage."
Riser looked at her with a weird gaze and said, "That is clear even if you don't tell me Tatsuya-san is leagues above you how would you even be able to reincarnate him as a devil."
At his words Tatsuya laughed and said, "Well sai Riser, Well said."
Rias was embarresed and angry at what Tatsuya and Riser just said but soon calmed down.
Riser then snapped his fingers and the room was again covered in flames with a magic circle on the floor.
Tatsuya looked at the flames and said, "Haven't I told you before don't use flames with your magic circle and even if you want to atleast decrease the intensity of flames."
Riser looked at Tatsuya and bowed his head and said, "I am sorry Tatsuya-san I will do that from the next time I my teleportation circle."
Fromm the flames 15 women appeared each having different physique and wearing different attires.
Riser then looked at the ladies and said, "Riser have 15 that means a full set."
Tatsuya looked towards the girls and said, "Yo, long time no see."
All the girls looked towards Tatsuya and immediately blushed.
A short blonde haired girl with drills walked towards her and said with a bow, "It is nice meeting you again Tatsuya-sama, I hope that you are doing well."
Tatsuya smiled and patted her head and said, "I am doing great Ravel but you don't have to be so formal with me. How about it lets go and have some ice-cream later, my treat."
Ravel who was blushing from being petted nodded her head and said, "I would love to."
Seeing both of them two people were quite displeased by it.
Riser was looking at them and thought, 'Why do Riser get the tsun part whereas Tatsuya-san got the dere. Life is so unfair.'
Koneko who was looking at them was thinking, 'That harlot is being patted by the hand which pets me.' and some ominous aura started radiating out from her.
Isami who was standing beside her asked, "Koneko-chan is everything alright? Do you want to eat some sweets."
Koneko looked at Isami and said, "Right now I want to eat some fried chicken. Do you think Tatsuya-senpai will let me kill it."
Isami who heard her turned away and thought, 'Scary scary Scary Scary Scary!!!! Koneko-chan is ver Scary!!!'
