Riser Phenex isn’t a villain

Inside his castle, he set up a spacious training facility where he and his peerage members could train without any reservation.

How did he build this?

It was with the power of money.

Yes, money.

It was as simple as that.

The only thing that the Phenex family didn't lack was money, especially when their family was the only producer of the Phenex Tears, a panacea that could almost heal anything.

Naturally, for such a thing, the price was high.

Frankly, even if he did nothing and became a scumbag, who spent his life in debauchery, he definitely wouldn't be troubled in life.

Especially when his first and second brothers could be relied on.

Still, he divorced Rias and caused her to be in such humiliation. While everything was caused by Rias and her family, the devil's personality was something that couldn't be predicted. They might not say anything since it was in public, and once everyone saw they had targeted the Phenex family, the trouble wasn't going to be worth it.

Yet, once again, Rias's older brother was Sirzech Gremory, Maou Lucifer.

When Sirzech said he was number two, no one dared to claim he was number one.

Moreover, Sirzech had a lot of comradeship with three other Maous, and his wife was also powerful.

As long as Rias and her family were given a chance, it wouldn't be weird if he was targeted.

In case a war happened in the future, he was afraid that he might be put as a vanguard and fight against the enemies on the front line and then die.

Once again, his parents had three sons. Even if he died, they wouldn't do anything to Sirzech and others since they were powerful.

In front of mighty power, everything was meaningless.

His family and parents might hold a grudge, but they might forget him since their power wasn't enough.

The reason why God could be revered and become the controller of this world was because God was powerful.

If there was a reason why Sirzech didn't do anything to him back then, it was because he wasn't powerful enough to ignore all the consequences that might happen once he touched him.

Once Sirzech did something, he would become the enemy of the majority of the devils since his action was selfish.

Moreover, no one liked tyrants.

Lastly, Sirzech was a peace-loving individual.

As someone who had seen war and becomes part of it, Sirzech knew that attacking him with an impulse would lead to such a war.

Nevertheless, even with all of that, an emotion was irrational.

It was impossible to tell what one thought even if they smiled toward you yesterday.

Moreover, they were all devils, a race that was moved by emotion instead of logic.

Wasn't the seven sins something born from their race?

Riser knew that it might be better for him to prepare since no one could tell what would happen in the future, right?

In conclusion, he had to become powerful.

While his system was quite strange and forced him to do something inexplicable, he knew it could make him powerful, so he didn't hate it. The only problem was the consequences and the choices of actions he was told to make since they were too outrageous.

However, the system didn't show its presence after telling him to sleep with all of his peerage members, and his power wasn't enough to fight against Sirzech, so while it might sound dirty, he thought that the quest of the system that told him to have an engagement wasn't bad at all.

So among all the female devils that could be his engagement target, his choice was Sona Sitri.

Her beauty, mind, and personality aside, her older sister was also the real reason why he chose her.

Yes, similar to Rias, Sona's older sister was also Maou.

Even if he didn't ask Sona's older sister to fight Sirzech, he hoped that she could help him to ease his relationship with Sirzech. The two were friends, so he could also have protection from Sona's older sister.

As for Sekiryuutei, Rias, and the Gremory family?

He only snorted since he didn't even see them as opponents.

Still, he sighed and hoped that Sirzech didn't exist.

"Onii-sama? What's wrong?"

Ravel looked up with an upturned gaze curiously, pressing her chest onto his right arm, showing the looming of her well-developed breasts in his direction.

"..." Riser.

[Such an innocent and cute girl can only be eaten by you. With your status as her older brother, she won't realize you feel lust toward her. Ask her to come to your room with an excuse to teach her; then, when there are only the two of you inside the room, you can teach her how to become an adult]

"...."

Riser thought that was expected of a system that forced him to be a villain.

This system was as abominable as ever.

Yet, he wanted to correct one thing since he felt it might cause a misunderstanding if he didn't explain.

He didn't feel lust toward Ravel

This is what he wanted to correct.

"Nothing."

It was impossible to do anything to Ravel.

He might as well do something for Sirzech's mother and wife since it was more ethical and healthier instead of going after his little sister, even if he wasn't the original Riser.

Right?

"Listen to me. I will teach you three magics. I hope that you can master them. Unless all of you master this magic, then I won't go to the next stage, so I hope that you can learn this magic with a serious attitude, or rather if you don't want me to punish you, then you should master all of them."

They nodded, but Ni, the red-haired Nekomata, raised her hand and asked, "If we can't master it, what is the punishment, Riser-sama, Nyaa?"

"I will keep you here, and you can't come out until you master the three magics that I will teach you."

Hearing that answer, they thought that they had to study with all of their might.

"Naturally, the first one who learns these three magics will get a reward from me."

"Reward, Nyaa?"

Li, the blue-haired Nekomata, who was also the twin of Li, was curious and also excited.

"Yes." Riser nodded. "The reward is that you can ask me anything as long as it is within my power."

"Really? Can we ask anything?"

"As long as it is within my power, okay? If you ask me to give you a country and the world, then I can only say sorry that I can't give you that."

"....."

Um... they weren't going to ask that, but when they thought about last night, they had made up their minds what they were going to ask him.

'Fufufu...'

'Haha....'

All of them were suspicious and had lewd smiles on their faces.

Naturally, all of them were seen by Ravel, and she frowned, yet she couldn't do anything. The only thing she could do was to master the magic that was going to be taught by Riser first before anyone else!

Since Ravel also wanted a reward from her older brother!

Riser wasn't sure, but it seemed he had lit up the fire on their spirits.

Well, it was good, right?

"Okay, let's start now. I will do my best to teach you, so I hope that you can learn these three magics well, okay?"

"Yes!"

All of them answered at the same time and vowed that they were going to be the first who learned three magics from Riser.

His peerage members need to become strong.
