Chương 12: Rias, you idiot.
**Riser Phenex's Private Mansion:**
Immersed in the virtual reality of DevilNet, Riser examined the comments filling the screen. While most of the criticism was directed at Rias, Riser's image also suffered damage, primarily due to the decision to forfeit a Rating Game.
Watching the negative repercussions, Riser contemplated strategies to rehabilitate his reputation. "I need to win the next Rating Game, preferably against someone from the Top 5. That might be the key to turning this situation around and showcasing my true power," he reflected, aware that a convincing victory could reverse the negative perceptions surrounding him.
Addressing the system, Riser stated, "System, I want to see my gains after the Rating Game and."

Riser observed the amount of luck points gained with a calculating expression. "Issei's luck decreased by 1150 points, that's very good," he reflected, satisfied with the impact his actions had on the protagonist.
While absorbing this information, someone knocked on his door. Riser granted entry, and Yubelluna respectfully announced, "Excuse me, Riser-sama. Sona Sitri and Lady Serafall Leviathan are here to speak with you."
The thought crossed Riser's mind: *"It must be about my victory against Sona in chess."* Making a decision, he addressed Yubelluna, saying, "Let them in. I will welcome them in the living room."
Yubelluna nodded respectfully. "Yes, Riser-sama."
Riser headed to the living room, awaiting the return of Yubelluna with Sona and Serafall. Upon entering the room, Riser took a seat on the couch, while Erza and Shizuku stood behind it. Two maids meticulously served tea and cookies, creating an atmosphere of anticipation in the room.
Yubelluna returned with Sona and a girl Riser remembered well from the anime: Serafall Leviathan, the strongest female demon in the Underworld. With a bow, Yubelluna positioned herself behind the sofa, between Erza and Shizuku.
"Please, have a seat," invited Riser, a gesture promptly followed by both ladies. Once they were settled, Riser proceeded to introduce the members of his Peerage.
Serafall, with her keen gaze, observed Erza for a moment and commented, "You've got yourself a strong knight, Riser-chan." Riser thanked her for the compliment and directly inquired about the reason for their visit, "Lady Leviathan, to what do I owe the honor of your presence in my humble abode?"
Serafall, in her laid-back manner, stated, "Your house is anything but humble, Riser-chan. I'm here to talk to my brother-in-law."
Riser, surprised, questioned, "Brother-in-law?"
"Sona had a criterion for marriage: the suitor needed to be smarter than her. Winning at chess is proof of that," explained Serafall, while Riser shot a questioning look at Sona.
Riser asked Sona, "Do you agree with this?"
Sona, casually, replied, "Beating me at chess was just a silly thing I made up to avoid an unwanted marriage."
With sarcasm, Riser teased, "So, are you challenging me to a Rating Game too?"
Sona retorted, "I'm not Rias, and I do genuinely want to marry you, but what about you, Riser? Am I to your liking?" – she asked while adjusting her glasses.
Riser, sincere, answered, "Yes, Sona, I like you very much."
Serafall applauded and commented, "Then you better get ready, Riser-chan, because your wedding is tomorrow."
Riser exclaimed in surprise, "Tomorrow?"
Sona taunted, "Having second thoughts?"
Riser joked, "I think I might challenge you to a Rating Game."
Sona and Riser laughed together, while Serafall remarked, "You two look like a couple of lovebirds, how cute."
Sona blushed slightly, and Riser continued laughing, enjoying the lighthearted and relaxed tone of the moment.
Sona, to mask the embarrassment, grabbed some cookies and started eating, momentarily diverting attention from the situation.
Curious, Serafall addressed Riser, "What do you think of the human world?" Riser pondered for a moment before responding, "I don't find it as interesting as the underworld, but sometimes I think about attending a school and finding out if the things I see in romance or sports anime are real or not."
Serafall, with a mischievous smile, commented, "Just like me with my Magical Girl Levia-tan movies." Then, she twirled gracefully and winked at Riser. Sona, embarrassed, covered her face.
Riser, observing the scene, agreed with a smile, "It's more or less like that."
Sona looked at Serafall and with a serious tone said, "Serafall, I think it's time for you to give us some privacy, just me and Riser."
Reluctantly, Serafall slowly walked towards the exit of Riser's mansion. Upon reaching the door, she looked back with a sad expression.
Sona bid farewell, "Goodbye, Serafall."
When Serafall left the mansion, Riser turned to his Peerage's women and joked, "Did you hear that, girls? Let me and the future Lady Phenex or Sitri Phenex or Phenex Sitri have some alone time."
After Riser's Peerage left, Sona stated, "Regardless of the wedding, I'll keep calling myself Sona Sitri."
Riser sat beside Sona. She warned him, "After our wedding, you can't touch my Peerage without the girls' consent or mine."
Riser looked deep into Sona's eyes and replied, "I would never do that without their consent or yours."
Riser's words enchanted Sona, and her face reflected admiration. Riser proposed, "Tomorrow is our wedding. How about we practice some kisses so we don't embarrass ourselves at the altar?" Blushing, Sona nodded.
Riser gently held Sona's chin and gave a light kiss, which soon turned into a
long one. Before getting lost in the moment, Sona thought, "Rias, you idiot."
