Lewd Worm Cyoa Chapter 71 Alt POV (Patreon)

Ravel Phenex wasn't pouting.

She wasn't!

"Stupid human... My hands aren't nasty!" Ravel muttered as she stomped out of her teleportation portal and into the bathroom.

The young devil heiress strode into the bathroom larger than most humans could ever hope to have as a house and she quickly made her way to the large full-bodied mirror.

She looked at herself long and hard. And thought, 'I am not nasty... My hands aren't filthy.'

But then her mind drifted... Drifted back a couple of weeks ago.

To a day that would haunt her memories.

Ravel was speaking to Riser's Nekomata Ni and Li. And after their conversation seeing them look rather glum at how weak they were with only chainsaws as weapons. She decided to be the adult and give them some supporting head pats!.

And as her hands patted the girl's heads and around their cat ears... Ravel realized too quickly that her hands were. 

Sticky.

And she would never forget the pungent smell of her hands as Ni and Li giggled about how 'Master Riser' was naughty and got some his... Kitty milk on their heads that they missed.

"Oh, my Satan's... I am tainted by Riser's degeneracy." Ravel groaned in a low groan before she took a deep breath and left the bathroom.

As she was still expected to report how the meeting went to her family.

A quick teleport across the Phenex mansion she was in one of the sitting rooms with her having sent a squad of the mansions maids to go tell her family that she was ready to report on her findings.

And a couple of minutes later her father and mother had teleported into the room... 

"Where is that blasted boy." Sacretes Phenex groaned as he folded his arms over his chest after ten minutes of waiting for Riser to teleport across the mansion to the sitting room.

The older man who had married into the Phenex family had blond hair matching the Phenex bloodline's typical fiery blond hair but his was kept short rather then the stylized form the other Phenex's had.

Radial Phenex the matriarch of the family gave a sigh after another five minutes passed with her saying. "This is... Most uncouth, perhaps we should have his Peerage sent away to the Gremory's to be hosted? It is clear he needs to understand this is rather un-"

A loud crackle of fire rang out with Riser Phenex strolling out of his teleport with the young man buttoning up his dress-up shirt... That could be buttoned up anyway as many of its buttons were clearly ripped off in a moment of passion.

Ravel wanted to facepalm as her father's face twitched at the clear evidence that Riser had made them wait close to twenty minutes because he was too busy fucking either a maid or a member of his peerage.

"You called for me Father?" Riser spoke proudly as he threw himself into a couch with a huff with him slicking back his hair with a hand.

Sacretes raised an eyebrow before he spoke dully. "Yes, Ravel met with the new powerful human mercenary that is based around Kuoh... Where your betrothed is living if you could care to recall." 

Riser shrugged and looked boredly at his sister with Ravel holding in a twitch of annoyance as she spoke bluntly. "Jake Bariss has already formed a Magician's Contract with Rias Gremory. And is fully prepared and desiring to help her defeat Riser in a Rating Game in order to cancel out the betrothal." 

The Matriarch in Radial gave a slight humm as she watched as Riser scowled darkly at Ravel's words.

"Hmm. And no chance of simply buying him out of the battle? No... He obviously knows that would go poorly and wants Lord Lucifer's approval and support." 

"Bah, I can just kill the wretch! He isn't a devil so the Rating Game systems won't protect him as much and any healers can be paid off to poison him or something!" Riser snarled before his father retorted calmly.

"Riser, you are firmly at the Midpoint of High-Class power of Devils and that danger level is your Phenex regeneration allowing you to tank blows that would cripple or kill any other opponent." 

Ravel watched her father stare her brother right in the eye and say bluntly. "He was able to cripple an Ultimate Class Youkai Turtle with hitting its shell and most defensive parts with a single hit... Not even Lady Grafiya Lucifigue or Lady Leviathan could deal with that turtle as easily." 

His meaning was rather simple actually.

If Jake Bariss had enough power or some power to cut through defenses, how would such power interact with Riser's regeneration?

But that wasn't all. Ravel took a deep breath and spoke. "Riser... He is also blessed by a water god or something. As he can call upon Holy Water at will, so your regeneration won't work when splashed with the holy water." 

The room went silent at that.

As that... Just wasn't a thing with Contract Magicians. If gods found out they were contracted to 'evil' beings like devils that weren't in their faction the gods would if they were feeling highly kind and merciful just remove their blessing.

And the gods were anything but kind and merciful when what they considered theirs. Went off and began playing with another group.

"I could still defeat him." Riser said with a frown and at Ravel and Radial looking at him in doubt he shook his head firmly and said. "No! I can beat him, I can train hard and I will prove the bloodline's glory when I defeat him and be named an Ultimate Class devil!"

Ravel's father scoffed and said. "Marathon sex sessions aren't real training even if Ni and Li have Senjutsu boy."

Riser spat and stood up with a snarl as he said darkly. "And what would you know father? You don't even have the bloodline of your clan? I have all but infinite stamina when I am with Ni and Li and I will beat him! To say otherwise is to spit on the Phenex name!"

Riser's eyes snapped to the real power of the household in the matriarch and snapped out. "Mother, make the Rating Game date within this week between mine and Rias. I won't lose! I am a pureblooded devil and he is just a human wretch without any divine bloodline or Sacred Gear!"

Ravel tensed as her mother's fiery orange eyes tightened on Riser's form before she exhaled and spoke coldly. "My son... You are making a mistake, but fine. I will negotiate with Venelana and Zeoticus for a rating game."

And without a word Riser spun on his heels with his form being engulfed in Phenex flames as he teleported away.

"That boy is in for a rude wake-up call." Ravel's father said with a wry smile as he took a drink of his coffee as Ravel's mother put a hand to her forehead.

And she couldn't blame her. It was going to cost some political favor to force a Rating Game like this, not to mention the anger that Lord Lucifer will be feeling towards the Phenex family with how he clearly favored his sister above the Gremory Houses' prosperity.
