Even though Riser had eaten the Devil Fruit, it didn't mean he would master the ability he gained from the Devil Fruit immediately. Even if he had "High Intelligence," ability from the Devil Fruit was a matter of aptitude of the individual.
Mastering the ability of the "Kama Kama no Mi" and "Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix" wasn't as easy as it seemed.
Nevertheless, he knew that he needed to master them, as the pinnacle of these abilities would lead to an amazing improvement in power.
Awakening.
Riser knew that this was the stage where he should aim to master his Devil Fruits.
Still, it might take a while for him to master all of those abilities.
Nevertheless, he knew that he shouldn't be too hasty or impatient.
Moreover, as a devil, the only thing that he never lacked was time.
His life was almost immortal, yet even if he knew he had to be patient, he wanted to master those abilities as soon as possible.
Why?
It was all because he knew he would have a crisis that would endanger his life in the future.
His appearance had caused a butterfly effect, and it was impossible for him to guess what would happen in the future, even if he knew about some of the original plots. Moreover, he might be able to revive himself due to his "Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix," but if one asked whether he wished to die or not, the answer was obvious, right?
Still, the matter of the Devil Fruit aside, after his battle, he was received warmly.
—or rather, it seemed they decided to take him down with a honey trap as he was surrounded by three beautiful fallen angels.
Moreover, each of them had their own charms.
The first one was a mature beauty with a tall and buxom body. She also had brown eyes and long, navy blue hair that obscured her right eye.
The second one was a girl with blonde hair styled into twin tails and blue eyes.
The third one was an attractive young woman with violet eyes and a curvaceous, slender body. She had long, silky black hair that reached down to her hips.
Looking at the three fallen angels, Riser thought that they were kind of familiar somehow.
"Is there something wrong, Riser-sama?" The woman with long, silky black hair asked with a gentle smile as she leaned toward him as if trying to emphasize her breasts.
"...no, I just feel that the three of you are familiar somehow." He knew that they must have noticed that he was staring at them. Moreover, a woman had this mysterious power where they sensed when a man was staring in their direction, so there was no need to hide anything. Still, it was impossible for him to tell the truth about the reason why he was looking at them.
"Really? Me too. It feels like it isn't my first time to see you, too, Riser-sama."
The woman with long, silky black hair emitted an aura of seduction as she gazed tenderly like a pure woman who knew nothing.
As for the other two, they were still a little awkward, as Riser had almost killed them. No, he had nearly killed everyone, so they weren't sure how to interact with him. However, when they saw their friend, it seemed that it wasn't so difficult to communicate with him.
"Haha..." Azazel laughed. "What's wrong? Do you like them, Riser? If you want, you can bring the three of them home with you."
Still, Azazel's words made all of them tense as Azazel didn't add the "-sama" suffix when he called Riser, so they were afraid that Riser might get angry.
Riser's horror was still fresh in their minds, and they didn't want to feel that heat anymore.
"I have a wife." Riser stared at Azazel blankly. "Don't say something stupid?"
"Then, you don't need to tell your wife. You can just enjoy them here. Don't worry, no one will tell your wife." Azazel showed a lewd face as he nudged Riser's side.
"....." Everyone.
While the three female fallen angels were speechless by their leaders' words, they didn't really mind becoming Riser's women. After all, he was their leader, and they had seen his power. Even if they weren't his wife and only his lovers, they knew their position in the organization would become significant and be promoted above many.
Nevertheless, everyone also understood that Riser didn't seem that hard to talk with. They thought that Riser would burn Azazel, but it seemed that wasn't the case. Still, with Riser's mild personality, it was quite hard to imagine that Riser was the gigantic disaster that brought them terror.
Yet, while the others sighed in relief and had their own thoughts about Riser, Azazel kept analyzing Riser's personality, conduct, and everything. His strength might not be that good, but there was a reason why he could become the governor of the Grigori.
Riser rolled his eyes and said, "It's just I had heard from my wife that Rias and her group seemed to kill four fallen angels previously. Their appearance seemed to fit the description of three female angels that they had killed."
"—?!" 3x
The three female fallen angels were tense.
After all, they almost died before, so were they going to die again?
This time, the three of them couldn't maintain their calm, but they didn't know what to do. After all, they had made a bad impression on Rias and the others.
Azazel fell in silence for a moment before he nodded. "You are right. They are the ones who have killed the holder of the Boosted Gear and the holder of the Twilight Healing previously.
"Do you want to kill them?"
"—?!" 3x
One of the male fallen angels was also tense.
However, the rest didn't say anything and could only lower their heads since if Riser really wished to kill them, nothing could they do. It was all their fault for making such a problem.
"Ri-Riser-sama... please don't kill me. I-I will do anything. I can do anything for you."
"Me-Me too! I can do anything for you!"
"Riser-sama..."
The three female fallen angels were desperate.
"Riser-sama, please save my life!"
Even the male fallen angel, who was involved in Issei, quickly kowtowed Riser so he wouldn't be killed.
Nevertheless, no one said anything. Everything was in silence, waiting for his judgment.
"What do you think I am? Do you think I am someone who will kill anyone randomly?" However, Riser suddenly became curious and asked, "Still, who had killed the holder of Boosted Gear?"
Everyone was staring at the fallen angel with long, silky black hair that had been seducing Riser.
"I... I..."
"What's your name?"
"Ra-Raynare!"
"You did a good job." Riser praised Raynare as he patted her head with a gentle smile.
"....." Raynare.
"..." Everyone.
Nevertheless, Riser suddenly realized that he never killed anyone.
"The-Then, should I kill him again?" Raynare asked since she felt that it should be easy for her to kill Issei Hyoudou once again. After all, she wanted to appear better in the eyes of her new boss. Still, she had to say this head pat felt so good~!
"It's okay. You don't need to, but can you tell me how you were saved?"
They should be killed, right?
How could they still be alive?
Then, they told him how they were saved by Azazel, using an illusion type of Sacred Gear.
Riser then looked at Azazel.
Azazel laughed and said, "There is no way for me to let them be killed, right? We, the fallen angels, have the least numbers after all." With the death of God, there was no way for heaven to let the angels fall as their number was limited, and it was impossible for them to reproduce like the devils or fallen angels as they might fall due to lust.
Still, Azazel realized how bad Riser's relationship with Sirzech and the holder of the Boosted Gear was, which he made a note of.
"Yet, you let your friend be killed?"
"......." Azazel.
Everyone lowered their heads and felt hatred toward Vali once again since if Vali hadn't caused them such trouble, would they be in this situation?
"Anyway, just give me all the data about the Sacred Gears, artificial Sacred Gears, and every research that you have done, and then I will go home. It's quite late, after all."
Riser wasn't so hungry to eat the three female fallen angels, and he was more interested in all the data researched by the fallen angels. Still, as he was sitting on the sofa, watching the research facility and all the fallen angels who worked harder as they made a copy of all the research data so he could go home quickly, Raynare suddenly made a bold action by sitting on his lap.
"......." Riser.
Raynare sat intimately as she looked at him with moist eyes and leaned forward on his chest, trying to emphasize the size of her boobs.
Watching Raynare, who appeared so intimate with Riser, Kalawarna, and Mittelt, also decide to join in, as being his lover would definitely bring them peace of mind and safety.
Riser was speechless, but he didn't say anything and let her play the game.
Still, Azazel sighed, and he knew there was no way for Vali to return to the Grigori.
In other words, Vali didn't have a home anymore.
However, Azazel quickly changed his gear and said with a smile, "Still, you don't need to walk so far away here to get all the data as I am going to give those data during the meeting of the three factions." Frankly, he didn't have such an idea at all, but he needed to appear so, as he didn't want him to see him as a liar.
Riser rolled his eyes and ignored the lie of this fallen angel, but something attracted his attention.
"A meeting of three factions?"
Riser raised his brow, but Azazel was stunned and then showed an awkward expression as he scratched his head. "Er... you don't know?"
"......."
