"Which one is your wife?" Odin asked as he sat next to Riser. If it was before, he might have used a lewd word by saying those with tiny boobs and those with big boobs, but he knew that there was something that one could say and couldn't say when they faced Riser, so he endured it.
"The one with short hair is my wife."
While it might have been his imagination, Riser felt that Odin's bodyguard seemed to be depressed when he mentioned his wife.
"Oh?" Odin raised his eyebrow. "What about the big boobs with red hair?"
"No, she isn't my woman."
"Really? What a shame! If I am in your position, I will abuse my authority to make her into my woman!"
"ODIN-SAMA!"
Odin's bodyguard slammed Odin's head with her fist.
"It hurts!" Odin held his head and then looked at the female Valkyrie helplessly. "Rossweisse, you can't be so stiff! This is the reason why you can't even have a boyfriend at your age!"
"This has nothing to do with that!"
The bodyguard seemed to be flustered and depressed by Odin's words.
"Valkryie?" Riser asked.
"Yes." Odin nodded. "She is my bodyguard, Rossweisse. For your information, her age is the number of years that she stays single."
"..." Everyone.
"Ho-How could you say that?! Bu-But that's right! I have been single! I have never had a boyfriend until now! Huwaaaa!"
The female bodyguard suddenly cried as she lay on the ground depressedly.
"..." Everyone.
Riser felt sorry for this disappointed beauty, so he coaxed her. "It's okay. I think you just haven't met the right person, and I am sure you will meet him soon."
"Re-Really?"
Rossweisse didn't let go of her helmet, so Riser wasn't sure how her face was, but from her voice, she should be cute, right?
"He could say that because he married, but you?"
"..."
Riser looked at Odin speechlessly.
At this moment, nothing could save Rossweisse anymore, and she just sat on the corner of the wall as she made a circle depressed.
Riser shook his head, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, the red-haired one might not be my woman, but the black-haired one with a ponytail is my woman."
"...eh?"
Baraqiel was dumbfounded that he let out a weird voice. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Wasn't it good that his daughter got the favor of Riser?
Still, Baraqiel felt conflicted at that moment, even if he knew everything was good for his race.
However, Riser didn't disappoint everyone.
"You don't need to worry, Baraqiel. I will take care of Akeno dearly."
"Th-Thank you very much!"
Those words were enough for Baraqiel, yet at the same time, when they started to be together?
He didn't question that question out loud and was only glad that Akeno was okay.
Still, Michael was dumbfounded, and he also started to panic. He glanced at Irina, who talked with Riser's peerage members happily and felt that it was a good start.
Only Odin thought for a moment and asked, "Should I send you a woman or two?" He felt that having a female from the Norse Myth to have a relationship with Riser would bring a lot of benefits.
"..." Riser.
"Odin-sama!"
Rossweisse was ready to smack Odin's head, but—
"What about Rossweisse? She is quite cute, you know?"
"Eh?!" Rossweisse was startled, and she glanced at Riser. To be honest, she felt that he wasn't bad, or rather, she felt like he was good. However, he had a wife!
"Don't." Riser was speechless by Odin's suggestion. "You shouldn't force someone like that." He then looked at Rossweisse and said, "Rossweisse-san, if this old guy tries to force you, tell me."
"Ah, um..."
Somehow, Rossweisse felt that it wasn't bad to be one of Riser's women.
Odin didn't say anything and only smiled.
"Enough! Let's watch the match! It's So-chan's debut now!"
Serafall pulled Riser away by hugging him tightly, pressing his head against her breasts. Still, as she looked at Riser, she thought about her conversation with Riser that day, and somehow, she just didn't know what to do, especially when their relationship wasn't as close as it seemed to be.
"Can you let go of me, Onee-chan? It's hard to watch it like this."
"Oh."
Serafall then let go of Riser and changed her position to sit on his lap.
"..."
Watching Serafall, who moved her soft buttocks onto his lap before she leaned back comfortably, Riser wondered why no one said anything.
Nevertheless, even if no one said anything, the match between Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory was about to start, bringing everyone's focus to the screen.
---
The two main protagonists of this event didn't know what kind of trouble happened at the venue. Instead, in their minds, they only thought of each other as they tried to think about how to achieve their victory.
The two of them have already teleported onto the stage.
In this Rating Game, the stage mimicked the shape of the department store in Kuoh Town, which Rias and Sona were familiar with.
There was only a single problem.
"How do we start to attack, Sona?" Rias murmured with a heavy expression. When the two groups were teleported onto the stage, they were separated by a distance, and each of them stayed within their headquarters. Before the "Rating Game" started, they were given time to think about their strategy. Still, the rules of this "Rating Game" were simple as they only needed to take down the opponent's King to win.
If there was a difference with the original, this time, all of them were allowed to damage the stage, so for Rias and her peerage members, who were mainly Destruction-type fighters, this was a good thing.
However, Rias knew this "Rating Game" definitely wouldn't be easy.
"You don't need to worry, Buchou! We will win!" Issei said confidently.
When everyone was worried, somehow, Issei's words brought a smile to everyone except Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Asia.
Asia was worried that Issei might do something stupid, so he lost his life.
However, Rias, Akeno, and Koneko knew this "Rating Game" definitely wouldn't be easy as Riser had strengthened up his wife.
Moreover, Koneko had told a lot of information about Sona and her team, especially after she stayed with Riser for a while. Still, it was impossible to gain much information as all the members of Sona's peerage weren't stupid. Apart from Xenovia, they didn't know much about the rest.
Still, even so, Rias had to admit that she felt quite jealous of Sona to get Xenovia, especially when she learned how strong Xenovia was from Koneko.
Yet, Rias wouldn't give up, and she believed that she would win!
"All we need to do is to defeat Sona, so let's win everyone!"
There was no need to think about a complicated strategy. All they needed to do was rampage like before and defeat Sona, then win!
"YES!"
Everyone was full of spirit as they were ready for the battle, especially after the announcement that the "Rating Game" had started, but no one noticed the weirdness that happened inside the room where they stayed.
In the corner where no one noticed, there was a mirror. However, if someone looked closely, they would notice a strangeness in this mirror. It was as if the reflection in the mirror seemed to be moving, forming into a small figure, enlarged before it loomed out from the mirror.
"Wh—!"
Everything happened so fast; they only saw a silver flash before all of them widened their eyes as they saw Kiba struck down and disappear into a flash of light.
[The knight of Rias Gremory has retired.]
"KIBAAAAA!"
Everything happened so fast.
