As time passed, everyone chatted casually indoors.
Rias was also in a good mood, having forgiven her brother after understanding his thoughts.
"Riser is here." Abel spoke up then.
Rias and the others were a bit confused. But the next second, a magic circle appeared in the room, followed by scorching flames, which were hot but harmless.
Looking at this flashy entrance, Abel's lips twitched. Riser was still as flamboyant as ever. However, he had the right to be flamboyant.
The Phenex clan's heir was his eldest brother.
As the flames representing the Phenex clan scattered, a man with yellow hair wearing a burgundy suit and a girl with yellow twin drill-like curls appeared.
These two were Riser Phenex, the third son of the Phenex clan, and his younger sister, Ravel Phenex.
Small body, great power.
There was no one small in High School DxD.
Hmm... except for Koneko and Ophis.
Riser's flamboyant entrance made Issei's eyes light up.
Another new type of man.
Riser stood with his hands in his pockets, flamboyant, very different from his original appearance.
"Rias, my dear fiancé, have you missed..."
"Abel-sama!"
Riser's words were directly interrupted by his own sister. Although helpless, he could only spoil her.
The originally reserved lady, Ravel, shouted Abel's name the moment she saw him, then excitedly ran towards Abel.
Abel looked at Ravel, who was calling him by his name, with some helplessness. This girl was truly getting cuter and cuter.
Riser smiled, but then suddenly paused.
Abel?
He didn't expect his sister to react this way, nor did he expect Abel to be here.
Unlike Riser's astonishment, Rias and the others looked meaningfully at Abel and Ravel, scanning back and forth between them.
Was this the Underworld's romantic debt?
Abel, which noble princesses have you corrupted in the Underworld?
Abel smiled and reached out to pat Ravel's head. "Long time no see, Ravel."
Ravel was full of joy, her eyes sparkling. "Abel-sama, long time no see."
Riser came back to his senses, his expression a bit ugly.
When did this happen?
He also didn't expect his sister's attitude towards Abel to be so intimate.
"Ravel."
"Understood, brother."
Hearing Riser call her, Ravel left Abel's side and returned to Riser's side. Although standing beside Riser, her eyes still occasionally looked towards Abel.
"Riser, you grilled chicken, you're still the same, so high-profile with your entrance."
As Abel's words sounded, everyone burst into laughter. Even Ravel couldn't help but laugh.
Abel-sama was still as interesting as before.
"Abel! I am a Phenex, not some chicken. If you call me that again, I'll..."
"You'll what?"
Riser was somewhat speechless. He had never been able to beat Abel since childhood.
Riser snorted coldly. "I just came to see my fiancé."
Rias immediately retorted upon hearing this, "Riser, I've never acknowledged this engagement."
Riser's expression became a bit ugly. Being rebuked in front of so many devils made him somewhat displeased. However, he didn't say much, he didn't care about the engagement with Rias. If it happened, he'd have one beautiful fiancé. If not, it was fine, as his harem had already started.
And because of this engagement, he had been beaten up by Abel countless times when he was young.
At this moment, Elisa stepped forward and spoke calmly, "Alright, Abel-sama, Riser-sama, please don't argue anymore. This meeting is also about this engagement issue."
Abel and Riser sat down.
Then Elisa conveyed Sirzechs's words. It was simply that if they didn't want to fulfill the engagement, they would use a Rating Game to dissolve it. And the Four Great Satans had already agreed to this matter.
Rias spoke calmly, "Riser, I'm sorry, I want to challenge you to a Rating Game to dissolve this engagement."
After hearing Rias's words, Riser's expression didn't change. "Is this your request or your clan's request?"
"Both, I suppose."
"Alright, I agree. Anyway, this engagement was made by my old man when he was drunk."
Upon hearing Riser's words, Abel and Rias were both a little surprised.
The proud Riser would actually agree?
Riser ignored everyone's expressions and explained, "Actually, this engagement is dispensable to me. If I agree, I simply gain a fiancé. If not, there's no loss."
"Rather than constantly guarding against a certain guy ambushing me or crashing the engagement, it's better to just agree now."
Abel coughed awkwardly upon hearing this, as he didn't expect Riser to understand him so well.
If Riser knew what Abel was thinking, he would definitely want to punch him. These were all experiences from childhood.
Abel said, "Cough, cough! You make it sound like I'm that kind of devil."
Facing the shameless Abel, Riser rolled his eyes.
"Stop pretending. When Rias was angry about the engagement when we were kids, you didn't hesitate to ambush me. You're perfectly capable of crashing a wedding."
"Rather than the Phenex clan's face being trampled on later, it's better to be dignified now."
Everyone couldn't help but laugh as they listened to their conversation.
Elisa calmly said, "Since Riser-sama and Rias-sama have both agreed, this Rating Game will take place next weekend. During this time, both sides can prepare."
Rias nodded, her eyes firm. She had wanted to dissolve this engagement for a long time.
Riser stood up and brushed off non-existent dust from his clothes. "Alright then, I'll wait to compete with you in a Rating Game next week."
Riser's lips curved upwards, looking at Rias with a hint of challenge. Rias met his gaze without fear, her eyes full of determination.
"Alright, I'll be going now. See you next week." Riser said, motioning for Ravel to come over.
Then, the flamboyant flames appeared again, and Riser and Ravel vanished from the spot.
"Alright, since the matter is resolved, Rias, let's go call out the remaining members of your Peerage."
"Yes, Gasper has been hiding long enough."
