Chapter 117: Chapter 117: A Total Fiasco
Haru looked at Rias determined face and slowly sat up. Rias threw herself into his arms.
She wrapped her arms around Haru's neck, her cheeks flushed, eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Pressing her face against his, she whispered softly into his ear.
"Please... you're the only one brave enough to help me..."
Feeling the warm breath against his ear, Haru felt a tingling sensation and fell into deep thought.
One second later, with a snap of his fingers, Haru's mental energy surged wildly. Centered on his room, an area within a 500-meter radius was enveloped by his dominion, causing the world to freeze.
Haru gently held Rias waist and whispered softly in her ear, "Leave the rest to me."
"Mm..." Rias slowly closed her emerald eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
...
An Hour Later
A silver-haired maid appeared just outside the 500-meter radius of the room and began to approach slowly.
As the queen of Rias brother Sirzechs and Rias sister-in-law, Grayfia Lucifuge had informed Rias early that morning that her wedding date had been set.
Although Rias had remained silent, she cooperated with all the arrangements. However, after maintaining composure for over two hours, and perhaps due to her overwhelming workload, Rias slipped away.
When the magic circle deployed at Rias residence was triggered and the teleportation array was hastily activated, Grayfia became trapped in Dimensional Gap.
Almost getting lost in the Dimensional Gap was bad enough, but when she shattered the space by releasing a large amount of magic to escape, she nearly collided with the Great Red wandering in the space-time crevice.
Although the Great Red ignored Grayfia, treating her like a tiny insect and allowing her to escape unharmed, feeling her depleted magic power made Grayfia's mouth twitch.
After resolving Rias situation, she would likely need some time to recover. But now, she needed to determine who the real culprit was.
Grayfia raised her hand and gently knocked in mid-air.
Knock! Knock!
Two crisp sounds echoed.
Retracting her hand, she looked at the back of her reddened palm. Feeling the solid space around her, her face darkened, it was indeed here.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing through the slits.
Then, a magic circle filled with mysterious runes appeared beneath her feet.
Grayfia slowly sank into the ground as if trapped in mud. Throughout the process, she kept her eyes fixed on Haru's room, muttering under her breath.
"I'll kill you..."
Although she definitely couldn't handle someone of this strength alone, didn't she have her husband? Plus, there was the grudge of someone taking advantage without permission.
The fury of an overprotective brother who is also a Satan was imaginable.

Morning, Haru's Room
Slap! A crisp sound echoed.
Haru held his right cheek in confusion, looking at Rias, whose face was flushed and eyes filled with tears. He said softly:
"What's wrong, Rias? Why did you suddenly..."
Rias ignored her reddened palm from the hard slap.:
"Why... why are you so experienced!!! How many times have you done this!!!"
Saying that, she wrapped herself in the blanket and began sobbing.
"11,389 times..." Haru replied honestly.
The sobbing abruptly stopped...
Rias stared at Haru in shock, not even noticing the blanket slipping off. She said coldly:
"Impossible. I have all your background information. The only possible ones are Raynare... and maybe your childhood friend, Irina Shidou."
Her gaze was intensely piercing, like sharp swords stabbing into Haru's face.
Under such a terrifying stare, cold sweat appeared on Haru's forehead. He raised his right hand to scratch his cheek and said softly:
"You didn't count... my past lives!"
Rias expression instantly changed, a 'gentle' smile appearing on her face. She cupped Haru's cheeks and said, "Tell me everything... from the beginning."

Evening, Occult Research Club Classroom
The atmosphere was unusually heavy.
Contributing to the tense mood was Grayfia, still dressed in her silver-haired maid attire, the Underworld's strongest queen. At this moment, she was glaring murderously at Haru, who had his arm around Rias.
Another factor was Rias herself. For some reason, while she was smiling and feeding Haru fruit from the table, her free right hand kept stabbing a sharp fruit knife into his abdomen.
Observing the dense black magic on the knife, it was likely imbued with the Power of Destruction inherited from the Bael family, she was putting her full effort into each stab.
For every piece of fruit she fed him, she stabbed him twenty times. This behavior caused Asia to hide in a corner, trembling. This good child, raised in the church, was witnessing such a terrifying scene for the first time.
Akeno Himejima sat beside Asia with a helpless expression, comforting the frightened girl. Under Akeno's soothing, Asia's mood gradually calmed.
Koneko Toujou had sensed danger upon entering the classroom. She had early on moved a chair to hide in the corner, avoiding contact with others, quietly eating her snacks.
Kiba Yuuto maintained a serious face, beginning his thirty-first maintenance of his knight sword.
Haru felt helpless. Previously, Rias had only acted impulsively after being pushed to the brink. When she calmed down and realized that Haru was even more incorrigible than her fiancé...
Just as Grayfia was about to speak, the magic circle engraved on the classroom floor suddenly emitted a faint light.
The emblem representing the House of Gremory carved into the magic circle transformed into the crest of a phoenix.
A burst of flames ignited from the magic array, heat sweeping through the room.
A male figure suddenly appeared within the flames. With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the surrounding fire and said softly:
"Whew~~ It's been a long time since I visited the human world."
He was a blond man in a red suit, appearing about twenty years old. His suit jacket was open at the collar, and his sharp features carried a faintly wicked smile.
Riser Phoenix, the third son of the Phoenix family, and Rias fiancé.
At this moment, he turned his head, and upon noticing Rias, seeing her stabbing with the knife, he was stunned.
Maintaining the gesture of dispersing the flames for several seconds, he finally reacted. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly as he looked at Rias, forcing a smile:
"Hi, Rias! Are you ready to marry me? I've already prepared the wedding dress."
"I won't marry you, Riser." Rias leaned calmly against Haru, looking at Riser before her, and said softly.
Riser noticed Haru's arm around Rias waist. His pupils contracted slightly, and his gaze turned cold.
"So... Rias, you intend to be with this lowly, lower-class devil?"
