Chapter 4 - Ravel And Riser
'The second way, does it refer to those characters that I know well in my memory?'
Yukio voiced the doubts in his heart.
[The host can understand it this way]
The System replied in its cold, mechanical voice.
'Just a simple touch for everything, right?'
Yukio asked further.
Though he had nearly figured it out, it was better to ask about this kind of thing than try to figure it out on his own.
[That's right. Just like the host touched Ravel just now.]
Yukio understood.
[Host, you now have 31,200 dimensional points. Do you want to copy?]
Suddenly a virtual screen appeared before his eyes.
A large row of data appeared on the screen.

"It seems I can't afford the things I want to copy," Yukio muttered with a sigh.
Looking at the long list, he felt somewhat depressed.
WAIT!
Yukio suddenly focused on Riser.
If he absorbed some dimensional points from him, could he buy something better?
"What are you looking at!"
Riser noticed Yukio's gaze and became very upset, especially since it seemed like Yukio was viewing him as a rare item or commodity.
In any case, that gaze made Riser uncomfortable.
He was a noble among devils and had never been looked at with such disrespectful eyes.
Yukio couldn't help but suddenly stand up from his seat, then reached out and slapped Riser's shoulder.
"You!" Riser's eyes widened, and his anger reached its peak.
In his eyes, a mere human dared to touch his noble body with his hands—it was nothing short of treasonous.
"Brother-sama!" Seeing Riser was about to explode, Ravel immediately stepped in and shouted loudly.
[Congratulations to the host for getting 23,123 dimensional points]
The voice of the System echoed in Yukio's mind. However, he did not remove his hand from Riser's shoulder.
"Riser, to be honest, if it weren't for your sister's reasoning."
"I would have called security and had someone like you thrown out," Yukio said confidently.
"Hahahaha, I want to see how you throw me out," Riser laughed mockingly, sneering at Yukio.
How could he, a Devil, be thrown out by security in the human world?
Even without using demonic power, the physical prowess of a devil far surpassed that of ordinary humans.
Yukio chuckled and withdrew his hand from Riser's shoulder.
"My marriage contract with your sister was arranged by our families," Yukio said nonchalantly.
"Judging by your eagerness to visit, it seems this marriage contract still has some binding force."
The marriage contract between Yukio and Ravel was quite clichéd.
More than a hundred years ago, the head of the Fujiwara family had rescued Ravel's father.
While recovering from his injuries, Ravel's father became good friends with the Fujiwara head, and after a drunken night, a marriage contract was made for their descendants.
However, the contract was put on hold because the Phenex Clan had no daughters at that time.
It wasn't until this time that both Yukio and Ravel appeared, and the marriage contract was revived.
Both Ravel and Riser had deliberately concealed their origins and claimed that their family was simply a foreign noble.
Of course, they were unaware that Yukio already knew the truth about them.
"So what?" Riser sneered. "Do you still think you're worthy of my sister?"
Although the Phenex Clan never intended to marry Ravel for political reasons, they didn't want her to marry an ordinary human either.
"If I don't agree, are you really going to do something about it?"
Yukio asked with a smile.
"You!" Riser was taken aback for a moment, and then his expression turned ugly.
"You can try, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."
"Why? Are you going to be ungrateful?" Yukio raised an eyebrow.
As a pure-blood devil, Ravel's parents had low fertility, so it was a miracle that they were able to give birth to Riser and Ravel in over a century.
And it could seriously harm the Phenex Clan, known for their immortality...
Could this be related to the devil civil war?
Yukio recalled the story of High School DxD and realized that not much had been mentioned about the devil civil war.
However, it seemed to have occurred in the last few hundred years.
The life-saving grace that the Fujiwara head had shown to the Phenex Clan was undoubtedly significant.
After all, the injuries that nearly wiped out the so-called Immortal Phenex must have been severe.
