"System"

"System"

"Huff"

"Huff"

Riser breathed heavily, unable to contain his frustration at the system's lack of response. He felt as if he were trapped in a dead end, unsure of what to do next.

"What happened? What could have affected the system to require 7 days of cooldown?"

"The will of the World!" exclaimed Riser, his mind spinning as he searched for an explanation for the unusual situation. "It must be that, I need to calm down."

"Sigh"

After taking a deep breath, Riser tried to calm his tumultuous thoughts. He knew he couldn't let his frustration take over; he needed to stay calm to deal with the situation.

"I need to find a solution to this," thought Riser, his mind working frantically for answers. "The system said not to mess with Rias and Issei, but it said nothing about the others."

His determination grew as he considered his options. "Seven days... I'm alone for seven days," he murmured to himself, accepting the challenge ahead.

With a determined movement, Riser rose from the bed, ready to face whatever came his way. He knew he couldn't afford to stand still while the system recovered.

"All I need is to win Akeno over for good and deal with Diodora," Riser muttered to himself.

The door of his room opened, revealing the figure of Sona, with a tired expression on her face.

"Rias is gone, and Akeno and Koneko are in their rooms," said Sona, crossing her arms as she watched Riser.

Riser looked up at Sona, noting the seriousness in her expression.

"What are your intentions with Akeno?" asked Sona, her voice filled with seriousness. "If you're just going to play with her, you better not even start. Rias isn't only trusting you; she's also trusting me."

"My intention with her will depend on her actions' development," declared Riser. "I have no problem accepting Akeno's feelings, but if she's not honest, there won't be a way for the relationship to evolve."

Sona nodded, understanding Riser's position. She knew that honesty was crucial for any relationship, especially when it came to such delicate matters.

"I understand," replied Sona, her calm voice conveying her silent support to Riser. "But remember to be patient. Akeno may be dealing with a lot of emotions right now, so it's important to give her the time and space she needs."

"Well, I'm going to her room to add her to my Peerage," declared Riser.

Sona nodded, understanding Riser's decision.

"Be careful."

Riser left the room, leaving Sona alone. He walked down the hallway with firm steps, his mind focused on what needed to be done. As he turned the corner, he found Yubelluna standing there, with a serene expression on her face.

"Riser-sama," greeted Yubelluna, bowing respectfully.

"Yubelluna, can you accompany me to Akeno's room?" asked Riser, his voice sounding calm.

"Of course, Riser-sama. I'll take you there," Yubelluna replied promptly, following alongside Riser down the hallway.

As they walked, they spotted Mirko and Nana talking in the hallway. Riser waved to them with a slight smile, acknowledging their presence with a friendly gesture.

"Hi, Mirko. Hi, Nana," greeted Riser, his voice soft and gentle.

Mirko and Nana returned the greeting with warm smiles, their expressions radiant as they met Riser in the mansion's corridor.

"Hello, Riser-sama," greeted Mirko, her voice full of joy. "How are you today?"

"I'm fine, thank you."

Riser and Yubelluna continued down the hallway until they reached Akeno's room's door. Riser stopped in front of the door.

"Thank you for accompanying me here, Yubelluna," said Riser, his voice soft and sincere.

"Please let me know if you need anything else, Riser-sama," replied Yubelluna, bowing respectfully before stepping away.

Riser watched Yubelluna walk away down the hallway before turning to Akeno's room's door.

"Akeno, it's me, Riser. May I come in?" he called, his soft and gentle voice echoing through the empty corridor.

"You can come in, Riser-sama," replied Akeno, her soft and calm voice coming through the door.

Riser opened the door to Akeno's room and entered, finding her standing before him, with a serene yet cautious expression.

"Akeno," greeted Riser, his gentle and respectful tone reflecting the sincerity of his words. "How are you?"

Akeno looked at Riser, her eyes revealing a mixture of emotions, from uncertainty to a slight hope.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking, Riser-sama," replied Akeno, her soft voice laden with gratitude. "Please, have a seat."

Riser nodded and sat in a chair near Akeno's bed, watching her attentively as she remained standing before him.

"Do you like me?" asked Riser, his soft and gentle voice echoing through the room.

Akeno looked at Riser, her eyes revealing a mix of emotions. She nodded, her shy expression reflecting her honesty.

"Yes, I like you, Riser-sama."

Riser smiled, feeling a comforting warmth flooding his chest. He approached Akeno, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"I'm glad to hear that, Akeno," said Riser, his voice soft and sincere. "I also like you very much."

Akeno lowered her eyes, a slight blush rising to her cheeks as she absorbed Riser's words. She felt happy to finally be able to express her feelings for him.

"I still have the position of bishop in my Peerage," Riser continued.

Akeno felt her heart race with his proximity, but at the same time, a sense of hesitation enveloped her.

"If you allow, I would like to remain free until I'm sure that we can have a relationship," murmured Akeno, her soft voice echoing through the room.

Riser nodded with a gentle gesture, understanding Akeno's hesitation.

"I understand, Akeno," murmured Riser, his voice soft and gentle. "I'll be here when you're ready."

Akeno smiled, feeling relieved that he understood her concerns.

"Thank you, Riser-sama," thanked Akeno, her voice soft and warm. "For being so understanding."

Riser lifted Akeno's chin gently, his eyes meeting hers with tenderness. He leaned slowly toward her, his heart beating faster with anticipation of what was to come.

He kissed her softly, their lips meeting in a gesture full of affection and promise. Akeno returned the kiss, surrendering to the warmth and tenderness of the moment.

After a few minutes, they parted, their breaths echoing through the quiet room. Akeno looked at Riser, her eyes shining with a mixture of emotions.

"Riser-sama..." she began, her voice soft and hoarse.

Riser looked at Akeno with a mischievous gleam in his eyes, his mind spinning with possibilities.

"Akeno, you're free from the Peerage, but there's something that a couple needs to do."

Akeno blushed, her breath quickening with the implicit suggestion in Riser's words.

I... I would like that, Riser-sama," confessed Akeno, her voice soft and trembling.

Riser smiled, feeling a comforting warmth flooding his chest. He approached Akeno, his mind full of desire and tenderness.

"Then let's enjoy this moment together," murmured Riser, his voice soft and warm.

He lifted Akeno easily, his eyes meeting hers with desire and passion. He carried her to the bed gently, his touch soft and affectionate, conveying his love and desire for her.

Akeno looked at Riser with a mixture of surprise and anticipation, her heart beating faster with the expectation of what was to come.

Riser leaned over her, their lips meeting in a kiss full of desire and promise. Akeno returned the kiss with fervor, surrendering to the warmth and passion of the moment.

As they surrendered to passion and desire, they both knew they were taking an important step in their journey together. They were ready to explore their love for each other, without restrictions or limitations.
