Buchou, who wanted to marry because of love and not some arrangement, decided to break off their relationship by competing against Raiser in a Rating Game.
A lot happened, and the marriage proposal was revoked. So Buchou’s engagement, is no more.
……..That story became quite a topic among the upper echelons of society in the Underworld, and it left quite a complicated impression on them. Since the important thing between the High-class Devils which has been passed on for generations was involved, it became a scandal for the pure Devils who take importance in their traditions.
I was greatly involved in that incident. After all, I was the one who bashed up Raiser and took Buchou from the engagement party!
Regarding that, I don’t regret my actions. Since Buchou who I like very much, didn’t want that, I risked my life to stop it. Even now I feel proud for having rescued Buchou……but to the house of Phoenix, I might be their sworn enemy…… I need to accept that fact.
A weird tension rises between Buchou and Ravel. The revocation of the engagement has already been settled by their parents, who are the current heads. They should be able to talk normally; however the discussion is complicated as it’s about Raiser, who I beat up.
Raiser and his family, the House of Phoenix, have the regeneration ability of the Phoenix, an immortal bird. I used the power sleeping within me…..the power of Sekiryuutei to defeat him.
After that, Raiser became seriously depressed for losing to me and for losing Buchou. Even six months after the incident, that hasn’t changed.
Along with tasting the first defeat in his whole life, women also left him. For a guy, there might not be anything more depressing than this.
I was watching over their conversation with Asia and the others from the corner of the room.
“Raiser huh. I have heard stories about him……”
“What kind of person is he?’
Xenovia and Irina never met him after all.
“Umm, he’s from the house of Phoenix and…..”
Asia started explaining to the two of them. Oh yeah, that incident happened almost immediately after Asia joined us.
“The world of High-class Devils sure is complicated. But I look up to the society of the nobles. …..I wonder if I can find a rich man.”
Rossweisse-san is up to something.
“…..The little sister came all the way to visit the house belonging to the Gremory…. Maybe they really are having troubles with it.”
You are right, Koneko-chan. Maybe it really is like that.
I don’t know how things got this way, but Ravel came here after many things happened, huh.
Ravel is hiding her usual tsun-tsun attitude towards me. When I first met her, not only was she a tsun-tsun but she was a rich-girl with an uptight attitude. But today she’s quiet.
Buchou speaks to break this silent atmosphere.
