The system, noticing Riser's potential influence over Asia Argento, offers a suggestion: "Riser Phenex, by deepening your bonds with Asia Argento, there's a possibility of gaining more luck points. Developing a romantic relationship with her, you steal a future member of Issei's harem."

After Ravel adds Asia to the Peerage, Riser observes his gains, but a system alert sounds in his mind. The robotic voice of the system announces, "Host, due to your constant plot changes, fate has intervened. The Canon will start 25 days earlier; now, you only have 3 days before Issei turns into a demon."

Riser, hearing the news, puts his hand on his head and sighs. "Of course, the damn protagonist's luck wouldn't make things easy."

Contemplating the limited time, Riser wonders, "And now? What can I do in 3 days to earn more luck points?"

After reflecting, Riser concludes that not only opportunities and heroines sustain the protagonist; he also has villains as cannon fodder to gain experience. "I can go to Kuoh, eliminate those fallen angels, and take care of that guy who's joining Sona's Peerage."

Ravel thanks Riser for giving Asia to her. Riser responds that she doesn't need to thank him.

Lord Phenex appears and summons Riser for a private conversation in his office. Riser accompanies Lord Phenex to the office, where they sit.

Lord Phenex says, "I was talking with Zeoticus, we've decided to advance your marriage. It will happen this month. You need to go to Kuoh city to meet your bride."

Riser replies, "Certainly, father. It will be done."

Lord Phenex adds, "I didn't question when you decided to give Ravel your Peerage, but you need to gather pieces to be able to participate in the Rating Game."

Riser says, "I'm looking for new members for my Peerage. Today I'll go out to find new members and take the opportunity to visit Rias."

Lord Phenex says, "I'm counting on you."

Riser stands up and goes to talk to his sister. He tells Ravel, "I'm counting on you to take care of Asia."

Ravel asks, "Are you going out again?"

Riser replies, "Yes."

Ravel suggests, "Can I go with you?"

Riser denies, "No, you have work to do here in the underworld."

**Kuoh City**

Rias Gremory's POV

In the hidden research room, four people were gathered: Sona, Tsubaki, Rias, and Akeno. Akeno, with elegance, served tea while their King talked with her friend.

Rias, with a frowning expression, sat on the sofa, while Sona observed her seriously. Tsubaki stood behind Sona, ready to act as needed.

Sona broke the silence, her voice echoing in the room. "What happened, Rias?"

Rias sighed before answering. "My father decided to advance the wedding date."

Sona, analyzing the situation, commented. "Then you'd better add that Issei to your Peerage soon."

Rias agreed, revealing her concern. "Yes, I'm just waiting for that fallen angel to make his move."

Sona expressed her displeasure. "I don't like this. We should kick them out of our territory right away."

Rias, confident in her plans, retorted. "After my plan succeeds, we'll do that."

Sona sighed, expressing her concern. "I just hope you know what you're doing."

Rias assured with conviction. "I know what I'm doing. Trust me."

The conversation continued, and Rias shifted the focus. "And are you going to add that boy, Saji, to your Peerage?"

Sona nodded. "Yes, he may not have Issei's potential, but with training, he can help on the front lines."

Riser's POV

Riser, Yubelluna, and Shizuku find themselves in a discreet house in Kuoh City. The atmosphere is imbued with the seriousness of the mission about to unfold.

"Yubelluna, did you investigate the abandoned church as I asked?" Riser inquires.

"Yes, Riser-sama," Yubelluna responds. "I could ascertain that there are at least four fallen angels in the place."

"Very well," praises Riser. "And you, Shizuku, did you do as I asked?"

"Yes, Master Riser," Shizuku confirms. "I followed that boy to his residence."

Riser, satisfied with the answers, outlines the plan precisely. "Alright, we have to act in a coordinated manner. When it gets dark, Shizuku, teleport to Saji's house and kidnap him. Yubelluna and I will be at the abandoned church, eliminating the fallen angels. After you kidnap him, bring him to the church."

**Time Skip 4 hours**

**Abandoned Church**

Dohnaseek, with suspicion, asks, "When are you going to initiate the plan to kill that human?"

Raynare, with a twisted smile, replies, "Soon. First, I'll ask him out and tell him I love him. Then, I kill him."

Kalawarner, expressionless, comments, "You always have to play these games. Can't you just kill him?"

Mittelt, with a cheerful smile, taunts, "What's wrong, Kala? Feeling sorry for the human?"

Kalawarner, irritated, responds, "No. I just want to fulfill our superiors' order quickly."

While they talk, a voice emerges from the darkness, and a blond man in a suit appears.

Riser, in a mocking tone, comments, "Look at that, four angels of the Lord planning a murder. How ugly."

Dohnaseek tries to respond, but before he can speak, Riser snaps his fingers, and Dohnaseek explodes.

Yubelluna appears and warns, "Only speak when Master Riser finishes talking, worms."

Dohnaseek's death leaves the other fallen angels frightened.

Raynare, scared, kneels and says, "Please don't kill me. I'll do anything."

Riser, in his thoughts, decides, "I need to have some fun with Yubelluna after getting out of here; otherwise, I might end up falling into temptation at some point and end up dead."

Riser points his hand at Ray

nare and kills her with a burst of blue flames.

Riser decrees, "Let's finish off the other two quickly."

Yubelluna agrees, "Yes, Riser-sama."

While Riser and Yubelluna prepare to face the remaining fallen angels, Shizuku teleports to Saji's residence.

**Saji's House**

Shizuku, in silence, materializes in Saji's living room. She carefully observes the surroundings, ensuring that her presence is not detected by other residents.

Saji, lost in his own thoughts, is startled when Shizuku appears before him. Before he can react, Shizuku, with quick skill, immobilizes him.

Without giving room for questions, Shizuku creates a portal, taking Saji to the abandoned church where Riser and Yubelluna await.

**Abandoned Church**

Riser, with an indifferent expression, watches Shizuku's arrival with Saji. He asks, "Did everything go as planned?"

Shizuku replies, "Yes, Master Riser. Saji Genshirou is here."

Riser, with evident satisfaction, looks at Saji and says, "Good job, Shizuku."

Saji, still dazed, asks, "What's going on? Who are you people?"

Riser, without hesitation, extends his hand towards Saji, engulfing him in intense blue flames. Saji screams in pain, but in a matter of seconds, his life is extinguished.

Riser, looking at Saji's lifeless body, comments coldly, "Another obstacle removed."

He then turns to Shizuku and Yubelluna, ordering, "Clean everything. Vacuum all the bodies, and make sure not to leave traces."

Shizuku and Yubelluna, obedient, start executing Riser's orders. Shizuku's vacuum starts working, erasing any trace of the fallen angels and Saji.

Once the cleaning is complete, Riser, Shizuku, and Yubelluna teleport away from the abandoned church. The trio disappears into the night's shadows, leaving behind only silence and emptiness in that dark place.
