Don't Play with Fireworks Indoors

"Now now, you shouldn't get too violent~."

Everyone in the room was dumbfounded at his sudden appearance, especially, Grayfia who didn't let up her focus on him all this time, 'What!? What was that technique!? He moves faster than most Knights even from peerage of Ultimate-Class Devils... I underestimated him too much... Such a blunder!'

Riser opened his eyes wide at this scene but his expression immediately turned serious after, he signals one of his 'Knight' to assist Mira.

Mira didn't know how he appeared on her side and used his cane to block the tip of her wooden staff. His eyes were shadowed by his bucket hat but she can clearly see the grin on his face and out of anger, she attacks him instead. Mira took back her wooden staff a bit and swings it sideways in a wide arc. The attack connected but she felt no feedback and is confused. She suddenly heard a voice behind him and Kisuke's body disappeared, "It's good to be energetic, but you should let the heat of the moment to get to your head~."

Everyone is dumbfounded yet again because after swinging her wooden staff in a wide arc from her front to her back, Kisuke disappeared for the second time and he's now stepping on the tip of the wooden staff sitting while hiding his face with a white fan and twirling his cane. Mira is finally scared at this scene because even though he's sitting on the staff she is holding, she can't feel any additional weight. Grayfia's brows furrowed even further watching all of this.

Without waiting for anyone to recover, a girl suddenly rushed from Riser's side with even faster speed than Mira and arriving behind Kisuke. She's a tall young woman with long black hair with a dark blue tint and brown eyes. Her hair features five thin ponytails going around her head, which are held up by a golden hair accessory on top of her head. Her outfit consists of a white top with black accents that is modeled after a Chinese cheongsam, red shorts, and armored, knee-high boots with matching gauntlets. The top features a diamond shape on the chest area, giving a view of her breasts and cleavage.

She's wielding a giant Zweihänder and thrust it towards Kisuke's head. Issei, who is watching it all from his VIP space, shouted at him, "Kisuke! Watch out!"

"Geez, these people are too violent~. I'm not even retaliating." While saying this, his smile didn't break and when the enormous sword is about to touch his head, Kisuke shifted his head to the side and the Zweihänder went through his previous position. The 'Knight' could have continued her attack by bringing down her sword and slashing his shoulder and that's what most of them are thinking. But a second and two went by she didn't move any further after her initial thrust. They all remove their focus on Kisuke with a sword threatening him and transferred it to the girl wielding the Zweihänder, and they were in for another shock as they notice Kisuke's cane's tip is already pointing on her neck without him turning back and her making a very ugly face.

Riser's 'Knight', Siris is screaming internally because of the cane. The pressure coming from it is no joke as she felt that if she moves even a little, the little wooden cane would punch a hole in her neck instantly killing her. She ended up making a very ugly face out of nervousness and cold sweat drenched her back.

Riser didn't stay silent witnessing all of this and sent a pillar of fire towards his direction. Kisuke used another Flash Step to appear behind him while twirling his cane, "You shouldn't play with fire indoors. It's dangerous~."

"You bastard..." Riser's arm lit in flames and he swung it behind him before turning around. As he looks back, he failed to find Kisuke's figure from where his voice resounded. Looking around the room again, he saw the detestable face hiding like a little kid behind Sona.

"Please save me, Sona-kaichou-nee-sama! I don't want to be burnt alive!" Kisuke had a panicked expression and pleaded to Sona while crouching behind her peeking at Riser from her waist.

Sona too was shocked at Kisuke's capabilities, but not as much as the rest who doesn't know him. She ended up chuckling at his antics and patted his head, "Yosh yosh~ Don't worry, this nee-sama will protect you from bullies." Sona then faced Riser with a sneer, "Oi Fried Chicken, stop bullying this little brother of mine if you don't want to drown on dry land." Because this is the first time Sona playing along with his antics, she ended up acting like a delinquent girl.

Grayfia, Akeno and especially Rias were all dumbfounded that the current heir of Sitri Clan who is known for being overly serious is acting like this.

"You really wanna have it, you bitch!?" Riser raised his voice along with his flames after Sona's provocation.

Grayfia had enough so instead of speaking, she deployed multiple magic circles aiming at Riser, Sona, and Kisuke. One each for Riser and Sona while three magic circles are aimed at Kisuke at different angles.

"Wait wait wait! I just blocked an attack for my good friend over there and they ganged up on me! Where is my fault their!?" Kisuke immediately protested at this unfair treatment.

Sona and Riser couldn't speak as they are scared at the threat that's coming from the magic circles pointed on them, yet this Kisuke is seemingly unaffected by three of her lethal magic circles, 'Is he just an idiot unafraid of death? Or he's really confident enough to get away unscathed? Because of that instant acceleration of him? If that's the case, he's too naive.' Grayfia thought.

"Please stop interfering with this meeting," Grayfia warned him.

Kisuke nodded at her words, "Please have it your way. I won't speak anymore."

After a few more seconds, Grayfia dismissed all of the magic circles making Sona and Riser heave out a sigh of relief.

Riser glared at Kisuke but Sona blocked her view with a sneer, she isn't done acting yet. Riser wanted to lash out again but remembered Grayfia's threat and didn't continue, 'I'll deal with you later.' Riser thought as he gives Kisuke a final glare.

"Rias, shall we make the game ten days from now on?" Riser went back to the topic of his engagement.

"...Trying to give me a handicap? Hmmph!" Rias also recovered from the shock and answered him. She wanted to ask Sona about Kisuke but set it aside for now as her future is more important.

"Offended? You've seen what happened just now. If that annoying Human didn't interfere, Boosted Gear's host will be on the ground now wincing in pain. He couldn't even react from the attack of our weakest member. If we fought now, it wouldn't be any fun." Riser shrugged his shoulder.

"Assuming that you can win a rating game with passion alone is naive. A 'King's' true value is reflected in the ability to empower his or her servants. I've seen countless 'geniuses' go down because they couldn't lead properly." Riser started walking towards his Peerage.

Rias couldn't say anything back as what he said is all true, "... I understand." She looked down as she replied.

"With ten days, you should be able to do something about your servants. Yubelluna, were leaving, make the preparations."

"Yes, Riser-sama."

Riser then face Issei who tried to provoke him even though he's too weak, "Hey you. As Rias' 'Pawn', don't bring shame to your 'King'. Everything you do reflects on her."

"Ack..." Issei flinched at his words, '... He's worried about her honor. I'm so pathetic.'

When Riser is about to leave, a rang all of sudden and it caught everyone's attention, "Yes Mom? Soy sauce? Alright, I'll get it." Kisuke answered his phone breaking the serious atmosphere.

"I still have to buy some soy sauce so I'm taking my leave here. See you around Sona-kaichou, Gremory-san." Kisuke then walks towards the window where he went in and jumped outside.

Riser is still pissed at how he acts and seeing him casually leaving, he flashed a grin and snap his fingers. Kisuke landed on the ground and walked away slowly, but after he took some distance, a large ball of fire suddenly chased after him. Kisuke didn't look back and just stepped to the side. The ball of fire hit the magic circle with displacement effect he left earlier and his attack disappeared.

Inside the room, a magic circle appeared above Riser's head and the ball of fire he sent after Kisuke suddenly appeared after it hitting Riser square in the face. He wasn't hurt but his visage is disheveled.

But before he could curse out, multiple notes appeared after the fireball and landed on all over the floor of the Clubroom. Each one of them picks one to read. Issei, in particular, read it out loud, "Please only use fireworks when there is a bucket of water near you for safety reasons. A friendly reminder from your handsome shop keeper."

"YOU BASTARD!!!"
