When their relationship started, her love was cute, even if she was a little aggressive, but after that press conference, Riser had to say Ravel's obsession with him was almost as morbid and crazy-like.
She was like a fire who wished to burn him into her so she could monopolize him alone.
If it was before, he might have let himself be burnt, but he was different now.
Moreover, what kind of situation were they in?
He was about to have an important Rating Game that would determine his future, yet she pushed him inside the toilet as she was ready to take off his pants.
"Ravel, stop."
"Are you sure? Onii-sama, you aren't honest." Ravel didn't even seem to mind his rejection. Instead, her smile was even brighter as she rubbed his big bulge."Look, your body is honest. It's hard. You won't be able to concentrate on the "Rating Game" like this. Ravel will help you to calm down."
As she showed her lewd expression, Riser finally got angry.
"Enough, Ravel!"
"..."
Watching Ravel, who was stunned as her eyes turned red and filled with tears, his heart ached, but he felt that it was dangerous if they continued like this.
Nevertheless, she didn't expect Riser to raise his voice and get angry at her.
As expected, he had changed.
Everything was due to Sona.
If Sona wasn't around, then—
But at the same time, she was—
Her thoughts stopped when her lips were taken by him.
He hugged her tightly and kissed her deeply, telling her how much he loved her.
While she was angry at first, she struggled, trying to push him away. After all, he just got angry at her, and how could she forgive him easily, yet in the end, she gave up and hugged him tightly as if she wanted to possess him.
She wasn't going to give him to anyone.
He could be only for hers.
Yet, what about him?
When their lips parted, she stared at him with eyes that were filled with love and asked softly, "Do you hate me, Onii-sama?"
"I am not. There is no way that I hate you."
He hugged her with his arms tenderly.
While he felt weird doing this inside the toilet cubicle, he knew that he couldn't be a chooser, especially when everywhere except for this place was dangerous.
Outside, there were his peerage members, siblings, wife, and even in-laws.
While he had decided to take a step forward to hold Ravel in his arms, he wasn't sure whether she was ready for this as he knew their step wouldn't be as smooth as they thought it would be.
While he didn't care about his reputation, as his reputation was as low as it could be, he didn't want Ravel to be stained due to him.
"Then, why did you reject Ravel? Do you not love Ravel anymore?"
The more she asked, the more hysterical she was.
Yet, even facing such a blazing-flame-like emotion, he was still calm and just accepted everything as he gently caressed her hair until she calmed down.
"I don't hate you. I love you. You are the one who is with me when I need someone the most. You are irresponsible to me, Ravel."
"Onii-sama..."
"But you should know what I am going to face. While I know that you want to help me, you should know how important this match is for my future."
Ravel could only lower her head, showing sadness and regret as she heard his soft voice.
"Still, are you afraid of something?"
"...what?" She was shocked when she heard his question.
"Don't hide it from me." Riser tapped her cute, small nose and said, "I know you are worried about something. Let me know. If you have something that makes you in doubt or scared, you should ask me."
"..."
She struggled for a moment, then asked, "...are you going to visit Sona-oneesama after this match, Onii-sama?"
"Yes."
Riser nodded without hesitation, causing Ravel to feel hurt.
For her, he was her everything.
Yet, for him, was she his everything?
"I know that I have hurt you, but she is my wife after all, and we have made our relationship even if you know that fact, right? I know that I might be cruel..." He stopped for a moment, paused, then asked, "Ravel... do you think our relationship is right?"
"Wh-Why did you say that?"
"I just can't help but think that instead of being with me, you can have normal happiness with others." Riser gently caressed her spiral curls in regret. "If you are not with me, will you need to hide to meet someone you like? I just can't help but—"
Ravel stopped his words by kissing his lips and hugging him tightly.
Watching Ravel, who had acted according to his prediction, he sighed in relief. While he knew that he might have deceived her, this was necessary as he was afraid that her passionate love might destroy everything.
While he didn't regret having her, he knew that their path wouldn't be easy.
As their lips parted, she looked at him with love. "Onii-sama, Ravel had never regretted anything. Instead, Ravel is happy that we can be together, so never say that again, okay? Ravel loves Onii-sama. If Ravel can't be with you, then Ravel might not be able to feel this wonderful feeling when my chest feels fluffy and excited at the same time. Ravel might not be able to feel this love, which is like a flower blooming in the middle of winter.
"If we don't be together, then Ravel can only spend her days in loneliness and tears every day. While Ravel might be the closest, Ravel is also the furthest, but now, it is different.
"We are together, and Ravel is so grateful that you hugged me and stopped me back then.
"Onii-sama, you are my everything.
"I love you."
"...."
Riser was almost overwhelmed by her feelings, but while it was heavy, he asked, "Then, do you think it is alright for the two of us to be together?"
"Of course we are."
There was no hesitation in her voice.
They were filled with confidence as she gently caressed his cheek.
"We're special Onii-sama. We love each other, so everything is okay."
As long as there was love, everything was okay.
If the world could be so easy, then was there even a point for him to be worried?
As she sat on his lap, he hugged her and rested on her well-developed breasts.
While he had many worries about this world, her scent calmed him down.
Nevertheless, he knew that he had calmed down, and there was no need to worry that this rampaging raptor might bring him trouble.
"Are you sure that you don't want to do it, Onii-sama?"
"..."
Riser looked at Ravel, who massaged his erection with a mischievous smile once again.
While he was helpless, he knew that he needed to teach this insolent little sister.
---
As they walked out of the bathroom, they had calmed down. Their scent had been burnt with fire magic, so no lewd smell could be smelled from them.
Riser was so glad to learn this magic, after all—
"Where have you been? We have been waiting for you."
Lady Phenex sighed helplessly as she had been waiting for everyone in the waiting room.
Nevertheless, as he sighed in relief, he looked at the naughty bird on his side, who showed a smug expression.
It seemed that... he didn't punish her enough.
---
In a random restaurant in the Underworld, many people put their attention on the television, watching the "Rating Game" as they talked raucously and consumed their snacks and alcohol, waiting for the match to start.
Nevertheless, on the corner of the restaurant, there was a particular group who seemed to be in discussion, yet even so, their eyes focused on the television, even to the point of obsession.
"Vali, was he the one who had made you like this?"
A monkey-like young man looked at the handsome young man with a long-sleeved shirt and gloves.
"He is."
"So, are you going to have revenge?"
Another young man with a gentleman-like appearance asked.
"I will."
There was no way Vali was going to swallow everything, especially after all of that.
He was going to make him regret doing all of this to him!
Hearing those words, the two young men nodded, but a girl with a witch-like appearance was a little helpless.
However, a young woman with a black kimono dress and cat-like features ignored their discussion and didn't show much interest even if she had sought after his seeds previously. Instead, she just watched the television with a hint of curiosity and an ardent desire for a certain activity.
