Instead of the greater mass that one couldn't think of, what greeted them was a petite, green fruit.
While it was just an allusion, similar to the green fruit, which was sour and bitter, Riser knew that it was forbidden for him to do anything to the figure in front of him.
"I am sorry for the rudeness, Lucifer-sama, but... but... Okaa-sama... has been kidnapped..."
Yasaka's daughter, Kunou, bowed her head as if pleading toward Riser. "Please... please save Okaa-sama, Lucifer-sama."
If it was in the original, Kunou wouldn't be so polite and begging like this. She would even attack the protagonist group as she would mistake them as the kidnapper of her mother, but it was different when the protagonist was changed into him.
Facing the leader of the alliance, the proud daughter of the leader of Kyoto Youkai could only bow down and beg pitifully, hoping for him to lend his power to them.
Still, Serafall looked at Riser dumbfoundedly since there had always been trouble whenever he was involved, right?
While Riser wasn't sure what Serafall was thinking, he could only think that this woman must be thinking something rude about him. Still, as he ignored Serafall, he observed Kunou once again.
According to her appearance, Kunou should be in her elementary school. Her golden blonde hair was tied into a ponytail with matching eyes. She also has nine golden fox tails and matching ears.
Watching Kunou's traditional shrine maiden outfit, Riser wondered how Serafall would appear when she wore them.
"You want me to wear a shrine maiden outfit?" Serafall suddenly whispered with a naughty blush.
Riser hissed and looked at Serafall speechlessly. "Be serious. We're in the middle of an important occasion." His voice was stern as if he was really angry at Serafall.
However, Serafall knew that this guy was all talk, but when she wore the shrine's maiden outfit, she knew that Riser would push her directly.
Frankly, Riser didn't think too much about Yasaka since there was no relationship between them. Moreover, while Yasaka was powerful, it didn't mean that she would help much for the alliance, as in the supernatural world, the most important thing was the power of the leader.
As long as the leader was powerful, any group would grow to the top.
It was the case for him, which grew the alliance into such a humongous organization.
"Please!"
Still, the way Kunou asked for help was far better than Suzaku Himejima at that time.
Nevertheless, at this moment, no one said anything, even if they heard the conversation between Riser and Serafall; all of them stayed silent.
All the peerage members of Sitri Sona and Rias Gremory, along with Azazel, sat behind Riser and Serafall in silence, waiting for Riser's decision.
Yet, unlike the others, it had been a while for Azazel to meet Riser. The last time they met was when he tried to follow him on his trip to Tokyo. However, the last time he saw him was when Riser used a secret technique to disappear along with the Great Red. Frankly, just sitting here made him have a cold sweat as Riser's aura penetrated every being of his body.
At that time, when Riser appeared, Azazel was afraid of being killed, so he had been avoiding him, but now, he knew that he couldn't do that any longer. He needed to stay on Riser's side since this was the best place for him if he wanted to stay alive.
Still, frankly, Azazel felt complex since even if he wasn't killed or attacked, Riser treated him like nothing but a dead bug on the asphalt street, dying due to the hot weather.
If it was before, Azazel might have become angry, but he knew pride and others were meaningless, and he needed to throw them away.
Riser wasn't sure what Azazel was thinking, and he didn't care about him either since it was about the time.
"Kunou, right?"
"Ye-Yes!" Kunou answered with a tense body and quickly straightened her body when Riser called her name.
"You don't need to worry. We will save your mother. You have decided to join the alliance, after all, so the safety of the Kyoto Youkai is also within my responsibility."
"Lucifer-sama..." Kunou cried and felt relief as she knew that she could entrust everything to him. Still, due to her emotional outburst, she jumped into him and hugged him tightly as she cried.
Riser was speechless, but he just comforted Kunou while wondering whether it was the feeling to have a daughter. He might have married, but he hadn't made his woman pregnant, so he felt a little emotional when he saw Kunou, who cried.
Kunou, who was in his arms, also felt the long-lost security and comfort, so after that outburst, she slept in his arms.
"What a carefree girl..."
Riser was helpless, but the youkais of Kyoto were so nervous when they saw Kunou was so rude. Still, he didn't mind before he looked at everyone.
"Our mission now is to save Yasaka, the leader of the Kyoto Youkai. I hope that you can help me to search for her as I am sure that those kidnappers are still in this city."
"Yes!"
All of them answered without hesitation.
"Go on and rest. I know that it is your student trip, but I will make up your holiday later."
"It's okay, Riser-sama."
"Um, you don't need to worry about us."
"Yeah, this thing is nothing!"
"By the way, can I sleep with you tonight, Riser-sama?"
While others told Riser not to worry since they knew the importance of the West Youkai Faction to the alliance, Xenovia directly asked her request.
"..."
Everyone stared at this idiotic girl in silence.
"Sure."
"Yay~!"
Watching Xenovia, who was happy, Asia's expression became subtle; then she raised her hand timidly. "Can-can I join too?"
"Sure."
"Yay~!" Asia also joined happily.
"...." Everyone.
Kiba looked up at the sky and felt that everything was good and that everyone was happy, but he had to say, it felt like a bit lonely without Issei. However, as Issei wasn't by his side, he would keep remembering him, and Issei would live within his heart forever.
However, Irina, who watched all of this, wasn't sure what to say, but why did Xenovia and Asia seem to look in her direction?
Nevertheless, with that conversation, everyone returned to their rooms to rest while Kunou was brought by the maids to go back to her room.
However, Azazel didn't join them and went somewhere by saying that he wanted to drink.
Riser didn't care about Azazel and just ignored him.
Azazel felt that this reaction of Riser was normal, and he knew the higher someone's position was, the more arrogant he was. Riser was like that now, and that was going to be Riser's downfall!
Azazel was sure of this!
Unlike Tokyo, the streets of Kyoto were complicated and small. It was like the entire city itself was a gigantic maze that could easily make one get lost. Moreover, unlike Tokyo, which seemed like a city that never slept, the street was quiet at this moment, and there were hardly any people walking around him.
However, while Azazel was unfamiliar with the streets and was even getting lost now, he didn't mind since he knew that someone was going to come to pick him up. Then, as expected, as he walked, there were no people anymore, yet nothing changed. However, suddenly, a group of people led by a young man came and greeted him.
"Welcome, Governor."
The young man smiled, showing a happy smile as he saw Azazel.
