49 Chapter [49]
Riser's Mansion in Kuoh
Xenovia hesitated for a moment before asking directly, "Riser-sama, could you impregnate me?"
Upon hearing Xenovia's surprising request, Riser pauses for a moment, his smile wavering slightly. "Xenovia, I understand the significance of this request, but the current situation is complex. I don't think it's the right time for us to consider this."
Expressing determination, Xenovia questions the reason behind this decision. "Riser-sama, why not now? As a devil, I want to live intensely and fulfill all my desires."
Maintaining his composure, Riser responds with serenity. "Xenovia, devils can enjoy a very long life. We have time, and there's no rush to make such significant decisions."
Unsatisfied with the response, Xenovia argues, "But Riser-sama, as a devil, I also want to build a future. If we have time, why not start now? I want to experience everything that life has to offer, including starting a family."
Riser, maintaining his serene posture, gently caresses Xenovia's head, smiling. "Xenovia, I understand your desires, but the peerage is already our family, and Sona will be the mother of my first child, although that will still take time."
In Riser's thoughts, a small laugh forms as he considers Xenovia's impatience. "She really is headstrong."
Upon hearing Riser's response, Xenovia pondered his words. While he mentioned that Sona would be the mother of the first child, a small spark of hope ignited in her heart. She wondered if that could mean there might be room for more in the future.
As these thoughts flowed through her mind, Riser, observing Xenovia's reflective expression, noticed her hesitation. With a smile, he gently cupped her face.
Feeling the warm touch of Riser on her face, Xenovia gathered courage and held his hand. "Riser-sama, I understand that the peerage is our family, but my desire to be a mother is strong too. If Sona will be the mother of the first child, can I be the mother of the second?"
Riser, seeing determination in Xenovia's eyes, smiled gently. "Xenovia, you've always been bold in your desires. If that's what you want, then yes, you can be the mother of the second child."
Xenovia, with a glimmer of happiness in her eyes, squeezed Riser's hand. "Thank you, Riser-sama. I promise I'll do everything to be the best mother for the second child when the time comes."
Appreciating Xenovia's determination, Riser leaned in to kiss her forehead. "Go share the good news with the girls that you'll be joining the Peerage. But don't mention anything about first or second child."
"Yes, Riser-sama," replied Xenovia, leaving the room toward the other members of the Peerage.
As he watched Xenovia walk away, Riser murmured to himself, "So much drama."
Taking advantage of being alone in the room, Riser decided to carefully examine all the rewards he received from the system. "System, show me all the details."
The System promptly responded:
+800 luck points for altering the plot.
+200 luck points for recruiting a member from Issei's future Peerage.
+600 luck points for defeating Kokabiel.

Evaluating his achievements and the current state of his system, Riser felt tangible satisfaction. "Looks like I'm on the right track."
With a confident smile, Riser looks at the system and makes his request. "System, I want to buy 4 gold-level lottery tickets."
The system, responding promptly, confirms the request. "Purchase of gold-level lottery tickets confirmed. Deduction of 1200 luck points."
Upon receiving the results of the gold-level lottery tickets, Riser analyzed the notifications with a mix of expectation and curiosity. "Let's see what fate has in store for us."
Opening the first ticket, a neutral expression remained on his face as he read the message: "No win." He shook his head slightly, maintaining composure.
On the second ticket, a slight gleam of excitement appeared in his eyes as he discovered the positive message: "Congratulations! You won a Gold-level Summoning Card." Riser pondered the possibilities of this newly acquired reward.
The third ticket, once again, brought disappointing news: "No win." Riser sighed, accepting the unpredictable nature of luck.
On the last ticket, the positive news returned: "Congratulations! You won a Gold-level Summoning Card."
Analyzing the results of the gold-level lottery tickets, Riser felt a mix of emotions. "Well, at least I won two Summoning Cards."
Living Room
Xenovia enters the living room of the mansion, her confident gaze revealing the determination in her decision to join Riser's Peerage. Merlin and Erza are sitting on the couch, waiting to welcome her.
Merlin, with a warm smile, stands up to greet Xenovia. "Welcome, Xenovia! We're happy to have you with us. How do you feel after the reincarnation?"
Xenovia, returning the smile, responds confidently. "I'm ready to face new challenges alongside the Peerage. Thank you for the welcome, Merlin."
Erza, with a serious expression, also stands up to greet Xenovia. "Welcome, Xenovia. We're aware of your strength and abilities."
Grateful for the warm welcome, Xenovia expresses her curiosity. "Thank you, Merlin and Erza. I'd like to know where Nana, Shizuku, and Yubelluna are. I want to meet them and get acquainted with everyone in the Peerage."
Erza, gesturing the way with a nod, responds. "They've already gone to their rooms to rest. After today's events, everyone needs a moment to recharge. But don't worry; you'll have time to meet them soon."
Xenovia, accepting the information, nods with understanding. "I see. When it's appropriate, I'd like to talk and train with them."
Merlin, sharing Xenovia's enthusiasm, suggests. "Certainly, Xenovia. Training together will strengthen the bonds of the Peerage and maximize our potential. I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together."
Erza, agreeing, concludes. "We're here to support each other. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask."
Feeling welcomed, Xenovia thanks them. "Thank you, Merlin and Erza. I'm looking forward to facing the future alongside the Peerage and contributing to Riser-sama's success."
Merlin, seizing the moment of lightness, jokes. "Oh, Xenovia, just remember to hide those wings when you're among humans. We don't want to scare anyone, right?"
Xenovia becomes a bit tense. "How do I do that?"
Merlin, relaxing, responds with a smile. "Don't worry; I'll teach you. It's just a matter of control and discretion. We'll train on that together when we have time."
Xenovia, relieved, nods. "Thank you, Merlin. I'm looking forward to learning."
