I'll kill you after I finish this game!

P.S.: Please vote and recommend! The Day of God's Wrath is coming soon. It will appear after the romantic scenes with Xiaoyou are over, and it's time to take my relationship with Xiaoyou and Xiaosheng to the next level. Let me make it clear now, Mary and the like will absolutely not appear.

Besides Nep, the only others who would have an eternal, destructive connection with Reiji are Saint and Yu.

Chapter Fourteen, Yicheng: I'm getting fired up... Sorry to bother you.

What exactly is the difference between me and my brother?

Rias had asked her parents and sister-in-law the same question before, and they all answered her with the same silence:

"You lack real experience and the unwavering determination to become a strong person."

Back then, the proud Rias possessed strength unmatched by any demon her age, so she naturally resented such praise from her elders.

Therefore, she was also very resentful and wanted to compete with her brother in every aspect, and even her family members were of high quality rather than many.

But now, Lei Zhe's words made her even more determined not to forget them. If she were strong enough, would she have to go through all this trouble? Would she need to run away from this marriage by escaping?

She was also deeply impressed by something her father, Geotix Gilmonli, once said.

“Your brother and Gurefia are both very proud. They both came from a rather chaotic era. Before they became husband and wife, they loved each other but could not be together because of their opposing factions. They fought with everything they had to get to where they are today after encountering such great difficulties.”

"The prosperity of the Gremory family is inseparable from your brother's efforts. Rias, you are able to enjoy everything you have today because of your brother. So, when you encounter great difficulties, can you be like your brother?"

Can she be like her brother?

The answer is obvious: no.

What would she do if she encountered such difficulties with her engagement?

Rias secretly recalled her past. If it weren't for Reiji's words, she would have placed all her hopes on external forces, such as finding more and better familiars to arm herself.

Now, they've come here by escaping, just as Lei Zhe said, but ultimately, it's not a way to solve their problems.

Looking at Rias's ever-changing, complex expression, Shiki Sona roughly guessed what she was thinking. He sighed and said, "Rias, it seems that the unexpected event you encountered so soon after arriving has changed your mindset in some ways."

She wanted to help Rias with her affairs, but there wasn't much she could do. Rias's engagement involved the issue of pure-blooded demons continuing their lineage, and even she didn't have much power to change it.

At this moment, she unexpectedly felt grateful to her unreliable older sister, who, at her age, would also have a fiancé like Rias.

If Seraph hadn't been a siscon and so averse to the idea of ​​a brother-in-law, and hadn't indefinitely postponed her sister Sona's marriage despite opposition, Sona would probably be in the same predicament as Rias right now.

Rias glanced at Sona silently, then turned her gaze to her family members.

Shirone Toujou, expressionless; Akeno Himejima, with a constant smile; Yuto Kiba, maintaining his usual expression; and Issei Hyoudou, whose gaze inexplicably became somewhat determined.

There was also a shy Gaspar in an empty room.

"I want to become stronger too..."

Rias spoke those words under Sona's gaze, staring directly at her familiars without backing down, her will resolute.

"I want the freedom to choose my own future, and for this I resist the life that has been arranged for me with all my might, but suddenly I feel that my means of resistance are as childish as a child's."

Rias said this with a self-deprecating smile, looking back on everything she had done before, how ridiculous and unbearable it seemed in other people's eyes.

"minister......"

"Rias..."

Toujou Koneko and Hyoudou Issei hesitated, while Kiba Yuuto and Himejima Akeno's expressions turned somewhat disappointed.

Because they don't have much ability to help Rias either.

Everyone in Rias's family has received her kindness, except for Hyoudou Issei, who was affected by Reize's interference; they were all people who helped her in her time of need.

After Himejima Akeno's mother died, she wandered alone, making a living by helping people ward off evil spirits and exorcise demons.

During her wanderings, she was constantly hunted down by the Himejima family. Later, she was rescued and protected by the Gremory family. She grew up by Rias's side and became her attendant. After Rias obtained the Devil Piece, she became the first of her familiars and was given the rank of 'Queen'.

The same goes for others. If we're talking about the peers who understand Rias best, besides Sona Shito, it's Akeno Himejima.

She understood Rias's feelings very well; not only did Rias take Reiji's words to heart, but she did too.

She had once fantasized about how wonderful it would be if her tragic past could take a turn for the better, and if she had the strength to protect her mother, her mother wouldn't have died protecting her.

Because of her weakness, she became a burden to her mother, which led to her death.

Seeing the person he liked making such a self-deprecating joke, Hyoudou Issei felt a mix of emotions, including a nameless anger.

"minister!!"

A low shout filled with complex emotions drew everyone's attention, and Rias also turned her calm gaze to her 'soldier' ​​class familiar.

At this moment, Hyoudou Issei, whose mind was overflowing with emotions, was not intimidated at all. He looked at Rias with a firm and serious expression and said.

"The Rias I know has always been so confident and noble. Please don't be so disappointed anymore. We will face the future with you. We will lead you into the world of demons and the supernatural. Please take responsibility, Rias!"

He raised his hand and clenched his fist, a streak of crimson light flowing across his fist and forearm. At this moment, Hyoudou Issei's will and emotions were extremely strong, and he was equally serious.

"Minister, you also said that guy seems to be a wielder of a divine artifact, and also human, right?"

Rias looked at Hyoudou Issei with a determined expression, somewhat confused, not understanding what he wanted to say.

Although the guy named Lei Zhe was incredibly strong, she was certain that he was purely human.

This human is incredibly strong. There is no information about him in the Gremory family's intelligence network. She is prepared to investigate him whenever she has time.

If Lei Zhe had only impressed her with his strength, instead of making her tremble with fear, she would definitely have invited him to become her own.

But Lei Zhe is too strong, far stronger than all of them. If she dared to say something like that, she must be out of her mind.

There are strong people serving the weak, yet you want to be their master?

"Minister, don't forget that your soldiers also possess God-Slaying Gear. If that guy who looks not much older than me can be so strong, then so can I!"

“到时候我会将部长你讨厌的那个未婚夫给揍飞的，按照那个家伙的意思，要是连我这个区区部长的眷属都打不过，还想要娶部长？”

Hearing Hyoudou Issei's earnest and passionate declaration, everyone's gloomy mood improved considerably.

Himejima Akeno resumed her smiling expression as she sized up Hyoudou Issei, who was spouting nonsense, and her opinion of him improved somewhat.

The kitten also looked at the other party and pursed its lips. Although the other party was overestimating itself, it was indeed very sincere.

I sincerely want to help Rias overcome her difficulties.

Rias was also amused by Hyoudou Issei's sincere yet humorous words. Her face suddenly lit up with her usual confident smile, and her words also carried a hint of joking:

"That depends on you growing up. Let's work hard together, Issei. If I'm unable to help, I'll have to leave it to you~. If you can really do it, you can touch my and Akeno's breasts~"

"Really?!?!"

Hyoudou Issei, who was full of passion and seriousness, suddenly turned into a lecherous look. His blood rushed to his head as he looked at Himejima Akeno and Rias's enormous hearts, and he repeated incredulously, snorting out two hot breaths.

At this moment, his emotions and will became even more intense, and even the divine artifact within his body resonated with him.

Nothing could boost his morale more than Obi, and if anything, it would probably be something even more H.

"Alright~ Since it's Master's wish, of course I'll obey." Himejima Akeno rolled her eyes at Rias, then smiled at Hyoudou Issei, who had a lecherous look on his face, and said with a flash of electricity between her fingertips, "If Issei-kun can really be as strong as that man, not only touching breasts, but even more lewd things are allowed~"

"If Issei-kun manages to defeat Rias's fiancé, maybe you'll become Rias's fiancé~"

Himejima Akeno stopped joking. Demons revered power so much that if Hyoudou Issei truly displayed strength far exceeding that of Rias's fiancé, the demons wouldn't necessarily find it unacceptable.

It's more likely that Rias's brother will manipulate things, trying to make someone even more outstanding, yet someone Rias wouldn't resist, his brother-in-law.

If Hyoudou Issei really had the same level of strength as that guy named Reiji, then marrying Rias would be a given, and getting more beautiful women would be a given for him.

But the prerequisite is that you truly possess the kind of strength that makes you worthy of respect and admiration, like Rai Zhe.

"Oh my god! I'm fired up! I have to get stronger!!"

Sure enough, Hyoudou Issei was so stimulated by Himejima Akeno's vision of the future and the rewards that he was completely out of control. Under the gazes of others who saw him as a hot-blooded idiot, his eyes and body 'truly' ignited with fighting spirit and... lust.

Seeing Hyoudou Issei so easily fooled and oblivious to the harsh reality, everyone found it somewhat amusing.

No one mocked this hot-blooded fool, but the calm and collected Sona would strike at him, making him face reality, so she suddenly spoke up in a low voice.

"If you're aiming for that man, I really don't know if there's such a thing as destiny."

"Huh! Why do you say that?" Hyoudou Issei was stunned and puzzled.

Shiki Sona wore a smile that sent chills down Hyoudou Issei's spine. She adjusted her glasses and turned to look in the direction where Reiji had left.

"You are the wielder of the Crimson Dragon Emperor Gauntlets, the God-Slaying Gear, while the other party, if Rias and I are not mistaken, is the wielder of the White Dragon Emperor Wings. Do you know what this means?"

Everyone except Rias was stunned. Both Rias's and Sona's familiars were stunned. Their expressions became strange, and they looked at Hyoudou Issei with subtle and pitying eyes.

He felt very uncomfortable under their gazes, especially since it was from everyone; he always felt excluded.

It's understandable that they would think that way. At this point in time, Vali hadn't fully revealed his identity as the host of the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings. Seeing the Light Wings that Rei used to travel, it was inevitable that they would have the wrong idea.

"Wh...what? What does it mean!?"

Hyoudou Issei, no longer full of enthusiasm, spoke nervously and stammered.

"Issei-kun, the divine artifacts you possess, the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets and the White Dragon Emperor's Wings of Light, have such a story..."

Kind-hearted Kiba Yuuto sighed and began to explain the origins of the divine artifact he possessed to his naive junior.

From the story of the famous powerful figure Er Tianlong in the past to the connection between the two famous divine artifacts now.

Hyoudou Issei's face grew greener and greener as he listened. His passionate thoughts, which had just been stirred up, were like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

"The hosts of the White Dragon Emperor's Wings and the hosts of the Crimson Dragon Emperor's Gauntlets will inherit the great grudges between the two Heavenly Dragons, and there will be a life-or-death struggle, which can also be called a fateful struggle."

After Kiba Yuto finished speaking, Hyoudou Issei nervously looked in the direction where Reiji had left.

He was extremely nervous that Razer might suddenly return and take care of his nemesis. Although he wanted to become as strong as Razer, it was impossible for him to become strong immediately.

Who knows if the other party will take advantage of his weakness and kill him, the current Crimson Dragon Emperor?

"Um, can't we just not fight? I don't have any grudge against him."

After learning the details, Hyoudou Issei looked at his captain and Himejima Akeno with a mixture of sadness and despair.

Just thinking about the power that Lei Zhe had shown before made his legs tremble. How could he possibly win now?

"Ah~ Well, that depends on what the other party wants. If they want to get rid of your nemesis, there's nothing we can do to interfere with their will."

"Don't worry, Issei-kun, I will protect my family members who are not yet fully grown. It is my duty and what I should do."

Rias sighed and comforted Hyoudou Issei. She was serious; such a promising familiar couldn't be allowed to die so easily.

Perhaps in the future he will really become a great general among her subordinates. Thinking of Reiji's strength, she also placed a little expectation on Hyoudou Issei.

However, Hyoudou Issei felt very uncomfortable hearing this. Just a moment ago, he had said he wanted to protect and help Rias, but now he was also facing great difficulties.
