Rias realized that she might be gentle and had a kind heart, especially when she had started to realize how wrong her action was and also understood why Riser had divorced her.
Moreover, she had also grown up and knew how to use her advantage as a weapon.
With her education, talent, personality, and experiences, Rias believed she could seduce him.
Nevertheless, she realized she might lack self-control as she couldn't help but feel jealous when she saw Sona and Riser walk out of the car, seemingly enjoying their time together.
'If that incident didn't happen...'
If they didn't divorce, the one sitting by his side inside the car would be her instead of Sona.
While Rias didn't hate Riser and was even obsessed with him, she hated Sona, who had taken her everything.
It was like their time in childhood when she owned a cute teddy bear.
She loved that teddy bear so much, but Sona suddenly wished to rob it, yet how could she allow that?
In the end, the two of them fought and pulled that teddy bear before it ripped.
At that time, she cried for so long and felt sad as she loved that teddy bear so much.
As she grew up, she had grown up, and she wasn't childish enough to cry due to the teddy bear, but still, watching Sona and Riser, who were happy, she was almost crying once again as she should be the person who should be happy by Riser's side instead of Sona.
That single mistake destroyed everything.
However, there was still a chance, and there was no way she was going to give up.
"Did you buy a new car?"
Rias asked curiously as she looked at the red Toyota 2000GT.
The red color was like a reminder of her crimson hair.
So, was Riser unable to forget her?
Rias looked at Riser with a happy smile.
"Hmm?"
Riser felt weird when Rias stared at him with a gentle smile.
Frankly, if it was a guy who showed such a smile, many would think that he was creepy, but it was Rias.
Many would be smitten and even fall for her.
Nevertheless, Riser felt weird, wondering whether Rias had eaten something wrong.
"What are you doing here, Rias?"
Meanwhile, Sona was confused when she saw Rias mingle with her peerage members.
"Sona, did you forget to tell me when Riser returns?" Rias still had a kind expression on her face, but her heart was in a rage, feeling Sona started to make her annoyed.
"Oh, right." Sona forgot to tell Rias that Riser had returned, even though Rias had asked her to do so, but Riser was her husband; why should she tell Rias that her husband had returned?
"Sorry, but I have something important to discuss with him, so can you return first?"
Anyway, the matter of Rias could be pushed aside later since she still wanted to spend a night with her husband.
"Something important, huh? Is it more important than the exorcists from the church who come to visit Kuoh Town to retrieve the three stolen Excalibur swords?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing something serious happened in Kuoh Town when she was gone, Sona couldn't help but become serious.
Meanwhile, Riser was looking at Akeno, who was smiling at her, and this smile... he could tell that this woman was planning to do something bad.
However, Riser didn't hate it at all.
---
With the news that was informed by Rias, it was impossible for Riser and Sona to continue to play around, so they had to listen to what was happening when they went to Nagoya to have a date.
Then, Rias started to narrate what was happening, telling them about the two exorcists who came for permission to retrieve the stolen Excalibur.
Still, even though the exorcists might appear polite, it was impossible for them to appear humble in front of the devil as the devil was the enemy of the church, so it was impossible for Rias to have a good impression of them.
Frankly, Rias wanted to invite him to dinner to make up for what had happened between her and him, but suddenly, trouble like this came, and her knight, Kiba Yuuto, also gave her a headache.
"Is that true, Tsubaki?"
"Yes, Kaichou."
When the two exorcists came, there was no Sona, so it was hard for Tsubaki to make a decision, especially with her status as the low-class devil. In the end, she came to ask Rias since Rias was the governor of this city and also a high-class devil.
"...why didn't you tell me something so important?" Sona was speechless. If something huge were to happen, then she would go back immediately.
"That's..."
"It's okay, Sona. You don't need to get angry at your servant. Though, we are caught in a huge problem now."
"That's true."
While Sona might not be the governor of this city, she took part in managing this city with Rias, so when there was trouble, she also needed to get involved.
"Is it really a problem?"
Riser, who had been listening, felt weird because of their conversation, wondering why they felt like they had been caught in a big problem.
Also, frankly, the church had only sent exorcists.
What is an exorcist?
They are just humans.
Even if they had been given power by the Lord in Heaven, their bodies were nothing but flesh and bones.
Compared to the other beings in this world, they were nothing.
Especially when they were compared to the East Youkai Faction he had faced previously.
Still, his words attracted everyone.
"What do you mean, Riser?" Rias asked in a doubt.
"In other words, they had just asked us permission to catch the criminal who stole the Excalibur, right?"
"That's right."
"They didn't ask for anything else, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, just let them. As long as they don't do anything that harmful to us, what's the harm? You might even be able to make the church or the heaven side owe you a favor, considering they have asked for your help. In the future, when you need to do something in the area where the church is governed or ask for a request from the church, you can mention this matter.
"This isn't a bad deal."
Both Sona and Rias fell silent after hearing these words. After all, like what he had said, it wasn't a bad deal since they could make the church owe them a favor. Moreover, they could even make a contract, so the church couldn't back down, but—
"I know what you two are worried about." Riser nodded. "If they are only retrieving Excalibur, then we don't need to worry about this, but if that's not the case?"
This was what made them hesitate since what if the church planned to do something bad?
If the church only planned to retrieve the Excalibur, they wouldn't say anything and let them do that, but if they didn't?
The church might seem holy and clean in the eyes of the public, but just like the Gremory House, which was good at advertising, the church was also good at this matter.
Yet, everyone knew, in reality, it was impossible for the darkness to disappear completely, and evil had always existed, even in the holiest place.
"If that's what you are worried about, you might send one or two of your servants to surveillance them in case they might do something."
Rias and Sona nodded since this was the best solution.
"But just in case, let me ask you a question."
"What's wrong? If it's within my capability, I will answer all of them."
"...."
Riser wondered whether it was his imagination that Rias seemed to lean forward as if trying to emphasize the size of her boobs.
Did she think he would ask for her size?
Hmph!
Don't be kidding!
It's B99-W58-H90 cm, right?
Riser already knew all of that already!
With his "Mathematic Mastery," everything was easy!
Still, Sona's expression wasn't good, wondering when Rias was going to give up on seducing her husband.
"There are only two exorcists, right?"
"Yes, there are only two of them."
"There is no angel, right?"
"No, only two exorcists."
"What about their age? Are they young or old?"
"They are young. They should be about the same age as us."
"Young, huh?"
It meant that those two exorcists weren't someone from an important position.
Still, if they could be sent on this mission, even if they were young, they might be powerful exorcists since retrieving the Excalibur definitely wasn't an easy quest.
In other words, even those two exorcists didn't have an important position; they were like ace exorcists.
Frankly, they should be like Issei, who was used by Sirzech to handle all the troublesome matters.
"Is there something wrong with that?"
"No, it's alright."
Hopefully, everything would be easy to solve, and the exorcists could retrieve the stolen Excalibur as soon as possible since he didn't want something troublesome to happen when he stayed in the human world.
The East Youkai Faction was enough for him, okay?
Nevertheless—
'Excalibur, huh?'
Riser couldn't help but feel curious.
