At that moment, no one said anything. All of them fell in silence and lowered their heads, looking away from Diehauser, afraid that their Lucifer would think of them as involved with this champion.
Even the children, who didn't understand anything, also frowned, wanting to say something to Diehauser, but their parents told them to be quiet.
For everyone who heard what Diehauser said, they swore that they wouldn't get involved with him.
Still, Diehauser never thought that he had said anything wrong and even firmly believed what he had said.
Meanwhile, Riser, his woman, and his family, who stayed in the VIP area, couldn't help but become agitated by Diehauser's words.
"What the hell is wrong with that guy~?! Did you think as long as you become the champion, you can do anything~! So-chan won't ever do something unfair and unjust!" Serafall was furious at Diehauser.
"Is this guy serious?" Rias was speechless when she heard Diehauser's words. This was probably also why she didn't think to join the "Rating Game" after this, as she realized how idiotic the champion of the "Rating Game" was.
Did becoming the champion give you the capital to talk so rudely in front of Lucifer?
What was wrong with this guy?
Or would becoming the champion make him so great that he could question the fairness of the Rating Game in front of Lucifer?
Everyone wanted to stay away from this guy; even Sairaorg, who was involved, couldn't help but want to smash Diehauser's head. His head might not be that bright, but he felt like he was smarter than Diehauser.
"Sairaorg-sama..."
All of his peerage members looked at him worriedly as they didn't want to be on the bad side of Riser. Frankly, they didn't want to play this match, either, as they knew how fearsome Riser was.
Previously, they had joined the war of the alliance with the Hindu and Chinese myths, and they knew how frightening Riser was.
If Riser wished to, he could even destroy this alliance, even if he was the one who created it.
"Calm down. I will handle this once we walk out."
Sairaorg quickly said, but then he looked at all of his peerages and asked, "Say, what do you think should I say?" Hearing his question, everyone started brainstorming about what they should say when they were about to enter the stage.
Still, the ones that felt the most uncomfortable were definitely Sona and her peerage group members.
"Did he think that he can get away because he is the champion?" Xenovia gritted her teeth, wishing to tear Diehauser's mouth.
The rest also wasn't much better, but Sona only coldly stared at the screen.
---
"Dear, are you not going to do anything?" Serafall asked with a pout.
"It's okay. I will have a match with him soon," Riser said calmly, waiting for his match with Diehauser.
With that said, they knew that Diehauser wouldn't end well.
Nevertheless, while Naud was stumped since he didn't expect Diehauser to be so idiotic, causing him to not know what to say, Baraqiel frowned and asked, "What do you mean by those words, Diehauser?"
Usually, one would add a "-dono" suffix or even "-sama" when they called Diehauser, but Baraqiel didn't use any of that and called his name rudely.
Diehauser frowned, but he wouldn't cause trouble with the leader of the Grigori for this small matter. "I just express my thoughts. We are all here to love the "Rating Game," and it is also a place where everything is fair. I don't want this sacred game to be tarnished—"
"Enough!"
Unexpectedly, the one who refuted Diehauser wasn't Baraqiel, Riser, or others who were close to Sona. Instead, it was Sairaorg who was being supported by Diehauser.
"Bellial Diehauser-dono." Sairaorg held his microphone and came out all of a sudden from the waiting room to the stage as he stared at Diehauser. "This might be the last time I call you that, but don't you dare the fairness of this game. Whether it is Sona Sitri or Riser Lucifer-sama, they are all my friends; we have known each other for so long, and there is no way for them to do something despicable such as tarnishing this sacred match.
"Even if you are the champion of the "Rating Game," I won't forgive you for making such a slander!"
His voice was full of rage and clearly showed his hostility toward Diehauser.
However, in front of Sairaorg's accusation, Diehauser was stunned and looked at Sairaorg in disbelief.
What went wrong?
Shouldn't Sairaorg support him?
Diehauser said all of that because he wanted to support Sairaorg, as he could tell that this match would definitely be hard for Sairaorg. After all, compared to Sona, who was the wife of Lucifer, Sairaorg didn't have much support, but even so, he was still amazed by this young man who worked hard to fight his destiny, and that was why he decided to support him.
Yes, Riser might be the de facto leader of the devil and the alliance, but even so, the Rating Game was different.
This was a place where everyone could show their power, abilities, and worth without being restricted by anything.
Regardless of their status, everything was fair on the "Rating Game."
Diehauser wanted to tell Riser that point and also supported Sairaorg even though no one would support Sairaorg, but why would the one whom he had supported look at him with such hostility?
"I see..." Baraqiel nodded, then said, "I think that the champion isn't suitable to become today's Rating Game's commentator. What do you think, Naud?"
"I think so, too." Naud nodded. "I think you are exhausted, Champion-dono. You should go back and rest."
The word "Champion" was like sarcasm in their mouths.
Moreover, between Riser and Diehauser, who should they choose?
This was a stupid question.
Even if Naud wasn't as powerful as Diehauer, he couldn't help but disdain Diehauser since this guy's head was really stupid.
When one had stood high on top of everyone else, one definitely wouldn't feel comfortable when they fell below.
"No, I am fine."
While Diehauser wasn't sure why he felt uncomfortable, he still explained that he was fine and wouldn't leave.
Naud was speechless by Diehauser's words as this guy couldn't read the meaning behind his words.
Was this guy really that stupid?
Naud then looked at Baraqiel, hoping for him to help. After all, even if he was a famous presenter and came from an aristocratic house, he wasn't Diehauser's opponent, but Baraqiel was different.
Still, Baraqiel didn't talk immediately but tried to contact Riser, and as he gained his answer, he just let Diehauser go, which Naud also followed.
Nevertheless, whether Naud or Baraqiel pretended that Diehauser didn't exist, everyone welcomed Sairaorg and Sona into the stage excitedly.
Yet, watching everything that had happened in front of him, Diehauser still didn't realize what kind of a mess he had done.
