Everyone had to say their stay at his hotel was great.
If they didn't have a job, they would stay a long time, but they had many things they had to do, especially when their jobs had piled up, so in the end, they left.
Nevertheless, the girls stayed.
Lady Phenex and Lady Sitri also stayed as they also wanted to continue to talk with Misla. It might be strange why they appeared so close, but previously, they were classmates, and it had been a while since they talked to each other, especially after Misla was sent to the countryside by her husband and slept due to her "Sleeping Disease."
It was also due to this that there were many things that they wanted to talk about.
Hearing that, their husbands didn't say much and let them stay.
However, the real reason was probably due to the fact that their skin and bodies got better due to the hot springs in this place.
With such a benefit, how could they get back immediately?
Moreover, how could Riser and the others monopolize this place by themselves?
Even if they had already become a mother, they still wanted to appear beautiful, okay?
Especially when they saw how Misla became so beautiful for some reason, which made them quite jealous.
Still being asked why she became even more beautiful, Misla could only let out a dry laugh, wondering what their expressions were when the cause of everything was Riser.
Nevertheless, not only Misla but Riser was also helpless; he didn't say anything, but he knew it was hard to visit Misla due to the appearance of his two mothers.
Yet his two mothers weren't the only obstacles, as Serafall also stayed.
"You are not going back?"
He wanted to train his new power, but it seemed it might be hard to do it.
"Riser-chan is so cruel~! You want to "shoo shoo" me away, right~! Riser-chan no longer loves me! Uwaaa~!" Serafall cried.
"..."
Riser decided to ignore Serafall.
"Don't ignore me, Riser-chan~!"
Riser wanted to say something, but he noticed Sona brought Xenovia away with her. He knew that Sona planned to invite Xenovia to her peerage members, and it was also the reason why his mother stayed.
"Is Sona-chan going to invite Xenova-chan into her peerage?" Serafall suddenly asked.
"She did. Last night, she told me."
"That's great~! Having the user of Durandal as her peerage member will make her peerage member stronger~!"
"Is that okay?"
"What do you mean~?"
"I mean, Durandal. Is it okay for us to keep it?"
This had always been a question on his mind as Durandal was owned by the church, so was it okay for them to keep it?
Frankly, the fact that Xenovia could use Durandal even though she was a devil still surprised him, but then again, as God had died, many things that should be impossible to happen in the past could happen.
"Geez~! You are so kind~!"
Serafall hugged him again, but Riser only rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes. So, can you answer me?"
"Hmm... It's okay, isn't it? After all, if the angel and the church want to retrieve Durandal, they will have to go to the Underworld. Still, as God died, it is impossible for them to be so reckless again as they can't be like us, who can mate to increase our number or use "Evil Pieces" to create a reincarnated devil since they don't have such a technology."
Serafall smiled at him, then said, "Frankly, we are the strongest faction among the third faction from the bible, you know~? Especially with you here.
"So, there is no need to worry about the matter of Durandal, but I have to say, it feels weird when a devil can wield it."
"As expected, it was impossible in the past, right?" Riser asked.
"Of course~! The devil will definitely get burnt the moment they try to touch it~!"
Frankly, Riser also felt it weird when Xenovia could wield Durandal and Excalibur Destruction even though she had become a devil. However, Xenovia wasn't the only one, as Kiba Yuuto, Rias' knight, could also create a holy sword with his Sacred Gear.
If a God didn't die, then how could such a thing happen?
—or rather, would God allow a devil to create a reincarnated devil?
Probably not, as it would allow the devil to have an advantage among the three factions.
It was also the case with fallen angels who kept collecting the owners of the Sacred Gear, including the Longinus.
Yet, while fallen angels and devils did their best to change, the angel maintained their status quo without doing anything.
If in the future heaven fell, then he wouldn't be surprised.
Still, Riser hadn't seen the angel and the heaven, so it was hard for him to make a judgment as he didn't know them, so should he visit them in the future?
"Say, Riser-chan... It's just an example, so you don't need to think about it seriously, but what do you think if three factions, angel, fallen angel, and the devil, make peace with each other?"
"Even though you told me not to think about it seriously, why did you sound so serious?" Riser was speechless.
"Anyway, what do you think~?" Serafall asked as she stared at Riser.
"Well, why not?"
"Eh?"
"Why did you sound so surprised? Weren't you the one who initiated this question?"
"No, I thought that you would say that you wouldn't accept such a thing and charge forward to Grigori headquarters or even heaven by yourselves!"
"...what do you think I am?" Riser was speechless. "If someone won't trouble me, will I even be troubled to cause trouble? No. Think carefully, Aneki. Have all the troubles that I encountered been all caused by me?"
"...."
Serafall opened her mouth, then closed them.
"...."
It seems that was the case.
All the troubles that happened to him, no matter how big or small, were caused by others.
All he did was just fight back.
Was it wrong for him to fight back?
So, did the others expect that he would just accept their provocation and be beaten up?
How could others be unreasonable?
"...sorry."
Nevertheless, she wouldn't change her thoughts to stop him from fighting against Sirzech.
"It's okay. You have your own considerations. Our in-laws' relationship is nothing compared to the long-lasting friendship you have with Sirzech."
He sounded so lonely when he said those words.
"No! I... I..."
Serafall's character broke down for the first time. She was no longer the bubbly woman who appeared happy all the time as he said those words.
"Let's not mention this. You want to talk about the peace of the three factions, right?"
"I..."
Serafall didn't want this conversation to change so suddenly, yet what could she say?
The fact was laid before them.
During the Kuoh Academy or the press conference, she told him that she would stop him no matter what. It was as if she explicitly told him that her relationship with Sirzech was more important, yet was that the truth? No way.
While it was true that her relationship with Sirzech was good, was it more important than her relationship with Riser?
She was dizzy, and she didn't know how to answer him.
Yet, Riser ignored her and continued to talk about her previous question.
"With the truth about God having fallen out of the box, there is no doubt the other myths are going to aim for us. No, it should be aimed at heaven as we, the devil, are strong even without God.
"Still, there might be some stupid gods who think they can fight us, so they will attack us. However, this is no longer a problem if three factions are allying with each other. Moreover, by doing this, there is no doubt that we can become the strongest faction once again, deterring all the animosity that is aimed at us.
"However, this isn't without a problem."
"...problem?"
"The first is a fallen angel. That Azazel hasn't even given me compensation for what he and his subordinates were doing. Could you trust such a person?"
"....."
Serafall fell in silence after Azazel promised to give Riser anything Riser wanted, but did Azazel uphold his promise?
"The fallen angel aside, the heaven is more serious. As a symbol of holiness and sacredness, it left an atrocity known as the Holy Sword Project to happen. Nevertheless, even if such a problem occurs, there shouldn't be any angels who have fallen. With the loss of God, I believe that the angels in heaven have modified the system of their races, so even if they did something wrong, they wouldn't fall.
"Probably, the heavens have done something more wretched without our knowledge."
Riser then looked at Serafall with ease and asked, "With those problems, can we really achieve peace?"
"I..."
Serafall couldn't answer him.
Could peace really be achieved with many problems occurring in reality?
"Onii-sama, can you help me here?" Ravel suddenly called.
"Wait a moment, Ravel."
Riser didn't wait for Serafall's answer and just left.
Serafall wished to stop him, but her hand stopped before it could reach him, and she was unable to stop him.
After all, with what she did, was it worthy of her to stop him?
Was the only way to stop him was to let Rias seduce him?
While she was unwilling, Serafall could only sigh, wondering what she should do as, from now on, she knew no one could stop him.
