Riser POV
Damn, my sister beat me to it. I have been trying to achieve a black flash for a whole month now and she beat me to it. Is it fate? Is it because she is more popular and actually becomes a harem member of Issei in canon? Does she actually have plot armor? Because it can't be the other reason.
Is it just a skill issue? Nah, of course not. I am not in denial. It must have been the room temperature. Okay, fine. Maybe it's because I rely too much on too many things to save me. I have 'Infinity', I have almost 'Infinite Regeneration', and eventually 'Reversed Cursed Energy'.
Looking in the mirror and seeing my white suit, I thought back to the ending of the fight in the rating game. Ravel was the one that got the final blow to the berserker dragon. When her black flash hit, it blew open Issei's stomach, it did not go straight through and there was no open wound on his back but he definitely would have died if I did not order Ravel to use our last phenex tears on him.
He was still missing an arm but his arm disappeared in a blue light together with his body as he retired from the game.
Rias looked furious after that and continued to attack me but I eventually was able to convince her to stop and told her that we should go see her peerage and I will give them all the phenex tears and healing that they will need. She continued to be defiant for a while as she could not let the efforts her peerage did go to waste but she eventually gave up when everyone in my peerage surrounded her.
Afterwards in the healing room, I went together with her and the healers there told Rias that Issei actually was consuming his life to power up. And seeing the patch of white hair in his head really made her believe them. What is this cringe ass shit, this is not tokyo ghoul where there are two wolves inside of me.
He really is a 'main character' if his hair turns into white, maybe I should turn my head white too? Nah, my blonde gold locks just fit my gilgamesh face too well.
They told her that if he wasn't stopped as soon as possible he might have died as the strain in his body was too much, she also asked if whatever happened might happen again but they told her that they didn't know.
Afterwards she thanked me profusely for saving her peerage and then slapped me for hurting her peerage. What? This is just tsundere now, I mean 'Zenryoku Zenkai' makes those who lose against you more attracted to you, but I didn't think it would be this fast. I didn't even expect her to actually thank me.
It works by how high the stakes are, if you beat someone in a rock, paper, scissors competition then nothing would really happen. In a world ending scenario, if you beat the villain then they would immediately drop their pants and ride you in a mountain of a thousand corpses.
But in this case, she just has more affection for me now. Before she would never thank me, she would rather cut her hair, and go through a whole character development arc than even interact with me.
But now she is acting like a true tsundere in an anime. Oh my glorious company, you really are the most benevolent gift that just keeps on giving. So many people out there hate the company, but you should just praise them and stop antagonizing the people who could erase you, or worse just send someone to destroy your life. From killing all your loved ones, or even just NTR you. All in all just don't antagonize who gave you your power.
Walking towards the hallway, my situation just sinks in on me. I really am getting married huh. In my first life I was just a meme-filled young adult who got corrupted by the internet from a young age. But now my skibidi toilet, sigma-class rizz, rizzed up one of the most beautiful women in anime who has that gyatt but more importantly dobonhonkeros so supple, soft but also firm, that it just seems too much of a sussy baka to think that they are real. But I know myself that her tonhongerekoogers are actually just poggers. I am so going to morbing time my face with those and stick my big chungus between them and shoot out my white pogchamps all over her face.
Okay that was actually kind of painful.
You know if this was a different life or genre of anime. Rias would just be Marin Kitagawa but with red crimson hair. They both like anime, manga, and games. They are both beautiful and kind. And they both are rich, relatively speaking anyway. The only thing different would be that Rias is spoiled, that her attitude seems like a holier than thou attitude as she got everything in her life. While Marin actually works as a model, and is overall a more down to earth person.
Though I can't really blame her, she is a demon, and a devil's sins does define who they are. I would bet that Rias has lust and sloth as her main sins. It would make sense for her character. While I would be lust and gluttony, I think. Ravel's would be pride and gluttony too, though I think that is a recent addition.
That's why my goal here is to wife her up. I am going to make her into a perfect girlfriend, and make her attitude like Marin but still have that hunger for more. I will not fail you Master Krillin, I will follow in your footsteps and Android 18's.
And so I finally knocked and entered the waiting room where Rias is. There were a lot of servants in the room trying to help Rias in a white dress. My parents insisted on a wedding dress-like outfit. What is happening, I thought it was Riser's decision to actually make her wear a wedding dress but I guess not.
Everybody in the underworld must be really desperate to make more pureblooded devils, to be fair the reincarnated devils outnumber us by a lot right now. It's like when your country has more immigrants than citizens from your country. So they must be really intimidated right now.
A single rebellion will annihilate the devils after all. We can't afford a civil war again. So everybody is trying to please the old council right now.
"Riser-sama! You can't be here, this is a women only area." one of the servants chided me.
"Oh come off it, I just want to talk to Rias by myself so can you all leave us alone for a moment? Please." I politely told them, well I'll be nice just this once, I want to hear what Rias thinks of me right now after all.

Rias POV
Looking at myself in the mirror I feel neutral, not disgust like before, or elation that other girls will feel when wearing a wedding dress. Surprisingly I just feel satisfied with myself. I did my best. I fighted for my freedom, could I have done better? Absolutely. But for some reason I don't feel mad wearing this dress.
What I feel mad about is why my mind keeps imagining his face. His smug, punchable and handsome face. No! I mean, his smug and only punchable face.
I know that supernatural beings are attracted to power but is it really this effective? I lost to him. But for some reason I just feel at peace. I don't feel as regretful as I should be.
When Riser knocked and entered my room. I just feel nothing. Not the urge to rip off his face and burn it so not even cinders are left with my power of destruction but just a submission that I will get married to this man. I still don't like him let alone love him. But there is a small affection there like we could be friends.
He gently dismissed the servants as if they were people and not as a lesser being.
"So, how are you, Rias?" He asked me
"Like I am being forced to marry you" I answered more out of habit than anything else.
"Am I really that bad, Rias?" he asked me once more. And it got me thinking about the things that he told me before. That I didn't really hate him but what he means to my life. That I had no freedom to choose which direction I could go. That all my choices are just being dictated to me.
"Honestly, I don't know anymore. This whole marriage just has me confused now. I don't think that I really hated you. I just looked at you as some monster that just wants me for my body…" I don't know why I am telling him this honestly.
"And what a body it is indeed." he replied with quick wit, I was about to berate him on this is why, I hated him but seeing his mischievous face for what it is. He has the same face Akeno would use when teasing me. So I just looked at him with a deadpan face.
"What? Too soon?" He told me with a teasing face and I naturally just slapped him on the shoulder. What am I even doing? Here I am, someone who lost their first rating game and the guy I despised is now joking with me naturally as if all the years of bad blood between us was nothing more than a dream.
"You know, I actually wanted to be friends with you for a long time now. I heard that you liked anime so I researched it a bit and got dragged down to the rabbit hole that was anime." he told me sincerely.
What?
"Oh and what about watching the entertainment of lesser beings such as humanity, are you not disgusted by it?" I asked him now, curious if I was actually talking to one of my people.
"Are you kidding me?" he suddenly stood up and walked a distance away, he slicked back his hair and spread his arms to his side. And looked at me with a charming smirk.
"Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" he told me menacingly and unconsciously I stood up and started approaching him.
"I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer." I told him with a serious look. While deep in my mind I can't help but feel elated to do this. This scenario is something that I imagined everyday. I even once forced Gasper to cosplay and try this out but he was just too shy to actually commit to the bit.
"Oh ho! Then come as close as you like." He also started walking towards me and when we were finally at arms length, both of us couldn't help but break character and started laughing.
I can't believe a day like this would come. My younger self would be horrified at what I am doing right now. Fraternizing and enjoying my time with one of my greatest enemies.
And I decided that he couldn't really be that bad. Someone who likes the legendary bizarre adventure couldn't be all that bad.
"You know I was surprised that you didn't even try to do moves like in anime, for example. A rasengan made of destruction, a kamehameha, getsuga, or just trying haki in general." he told me.
"I-I never really thought about it." My mind blanked as I realized what he said. How could I be so stupid.
"We have imagination magic Rias, as long as we are powerful enough and have the imagination then we could do anything, like this…" He opened his hands and from it a small sphere started growing and then a palm sized ball was on top of his hands sucking up the air close to it.
"So I wasn't wrong? I wasn't hallucinating, that was actually a rasengan?" I blinked my eyes and couldn't believe I was witnessing, "Then were those cutting slashes actually a getsuga?" I asked him excitedly.
"Well not exactly, it was inspired by them sure, but they are my technique. I could teach you if you want?" He told me with a kind smile like looking at someone you love.
My heart skipped a beat at his statement but that's impossible, I can't like this guy. I must just be excited with learning anime techniques, yeah that's just what it is. I convinced myself.
"Please." I said excitedly or at least that was what I intended, but what came out instead was a gentle voice like a girl in love talking to her crush. Okay, that was embarrassing, my face felt hot and no doubt blushing from my embarrassment, yes just from embarrassment. That's all it is.
"Alright then, later let's hang out. I'll try to teach you how to form your own techniques. I'll see you at the venue. And maybe later, we'll even isekai hahaha." He said cheerily while going away.
What is wrong with me? Why is my heart beating so fast and my face is too hot? That bastard must have released his flames just to mess with me. I don't want to be a sweaty mess in front of everyone so I'll take a cold shower again. Yeah that must be it. I'm just tired from the heat. Definitely not because I am finding him attractive now, definitely not.
