During this critical moment, you can only become a man

Riser knew that Sona was about to tell him something troublesome, but he knew that he couldn't escape, so he bit the bullet.

"Yes."

Moreover, wasn't it unmanly of him to fear the story of his wife?

As for the aftermath matters, he could make a decision after she finished her story.

Sona took a deep breath and said, "I want to make a school."

"School? Then, why don't you make one?"

Even in his domain, there was a school.

On the contrary, in every domain in the Underworld, there should be at least one or two schools since the population in those domains needed to have such a facility.

Moreover, it could become a business, and the money that came from an education wasn't small.

If Sona wanted to make a school, then with her status as the heir of the Sitri family, it was as easy as walking into the park.

The wealth that was collected by her family from her ancestor's time was impossible to be emptied by just building a single school.

Moreover, even if Sona's family wasn't as wealthy as him, her family almost monopolized the healthcare business and had the best hospital in the Underworld.

If Sona wished to make a school, even without her parent's permission, she could do it anytime.

"It's not that kind of a normal school. I want to create a school for the "Rating Game."

"Rating Game school?"

Riser looked at Sona and wondered why everyone loved the Rating Game so much, but he didn't intend to argue. "Then, you can just create it, right? While you haven't had your debut in the Rating Game, it shouldn't be difficult if you want to make a school for the Rating Game."

With her status as the heir of the Sitri clan and the little sister of Serafall, if Sona wanted to make a Rating Game school, who could stop her?

Even if Sona hadn't made her debut in the Rating Game as an heir of the aristocratic family, she could do many things that many people couldn't do.

"..."

Sona knew that her husband wasn't wrong. It would have been easy for her to make a school for the Rating Game if she wished to, but... but the school that she wanted to make was different, and she knew many people would reject this dream of hers.

Sona didn't care about the thoughts of those people since this was her dream, but it was different from Riser's.

If Riser suddenly hated her due to this dream of hers...

Suddenly, her hands were held gently.

"Sona, I am your husband. If you can't trust me, then who will you trust?"

"Husband..."

Riser felt that being a man was difficult, but he knew that the difficulty was just the beginning. After Sona's route was cleared up, he could have a lazy life. Thought before all of that, he needed to know what his wife's dream was. After all, considering her dream, he might need to work, which was something that he didn't want to do.

Nevertheless, he knew that he needed to help her, considering his status as her husband, so he hoped that her dream was an easy one.

Sona stared at Riser, who was looking at her gently yet firmly as if telling her that she could rely on him.

Love! Love! Love!

Sona was glad that Rias made him divorce her and made her propose to her; if not, then she might not be able to marry him.

"I... I want to make a Rating Game school for the lower-class devil."

"....."

Riser blinked his eyes, not due to Sona's wish but due to the system that he knew would cause him trouble.

[As a villain, you should have your own opinion!]

[Option 1: Throw away your stupid dream! You will receive a "Magu Magu no Mi" (Complete Version)]

[Option 2: Hmph? Lower-class of the devil? Why should you help them? You should make them stupid and make them your cattle, so you can squeeze all of their values until they die. You will receive a "Hie Hie no Mi" (Complete Version)]

[Option 3: Help Sona to build a school and brainwash all the students so they will become loyal to you. You will receive a "Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix" (Complete Version)]

"......"

Riser fell in silence when he saw all of those options.

He didn't care about the options. Instead, he cared more about the rewards.

The rewards he got were all a "Devil Fruit" from a familiar work that he had read in his previous life, but unlike the "Devil Fruit' in that work where the user would be weakened due to the water, this "Devil Fruit" wouldn't give such a weakness.

Moreover, this version allowed him to eat more than one "Devil Fruit."

Among those rewards, all of those "Devil Fruits" had amazing abilities. Nevertheless, even though he could choose "Option 1" and "Option 2," giving him abilities of magma manipulation and ice manipulation at the same time, the possibility of him choosing those options was almost zero.

If he really dared to choose "Option 1" and "Option 2," he was sure that Serafall, who was still outside of their room, would freeze him to death.

Well, he didn't think that Serafall would do so since Sona definitely wouldn't allow her older sister to kill him, even if he chose "Option 1" or "Option 2."

Nevertheless, if he chose those two options at the same time, even if his wife didn't divorce him, a crack would happen.

Or... Sona would accept his mockery and everything like a wife who got domestic violence.

Frankly, he wondered whether being a villain meant becoming a harsh husband who often beat up his wife.

Yet, the system's options didn't surprise him, especially since the system often told him to sleep with his little sister, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or many others.

'But, the Option 3...'

He knew that he could only choose "Option 3," but it was also because of this he understood why the reward was amazing.

Frankly, as part of the aristocratic family, he understood that no matter one beautifies the "Rating Game," it was only a game for the high-class devil.

As for the lower class and middle class, they didn't have a right or even a chance to play in this game.

If he had to be honest, even if he knew that someone would fight him hard for it, the "Rating Game," in his eyes, was nothing but a game for the rich to increase their wealth and political power.

Yet—

"...as expected, it is impossible—"

"No!"

Riser quickly held his wife tight since he couldn't bear her crying face.

"It's possible. I believe in you. You must be able to realize this dream of yours, but..."

"But..."

"I am just wondering how I can be part of your dream and help you. That's why I have been thinking deeply."

"...you will help me?"

Sona was surprised.

"Listen, Sona. No matter what, even if the world is saying your dream is stupid, I am the only one that won't think so. I will believe that you will be able to realize your dream no matter how long it will be since I will be by your side all the time."

"Husband..."

Sona hugged him tightly and didn't let him go, thinking she was so glad to marry him.

However, Riser, who had chosen "Option 3," sighed helplessly since he knew his dream to have a lazy-bum life was far away in the distance.
