The Player is a Part-Timer

Chapter 10: Prepare Like a Gamer!

That man — unlike her — had experience with Rating Games. Not losing even a single one unintentionally, but winning them all!

The power of immortality that was his family's own was also on his side. It made him close to an unbeatable opponent. Against such a foe, she needed to grab every little possibility to push her chances up the chart!

Still, she wanted to win alone! She wanted to prove she can stand on her own legs! Without using the position of her brother! Without abusing the name of her family! Just her alone, earning things and saying: Yes, I am Rias Gremory. Not defined by the Gremory clan or my brother, but what I earned by my own strength!

Without this, she could simply marry Riser, and live as a simple housewife, a breeding cow only treasured because of her pure blood, her name, and heritage.

The Satan of Red looked worried for a moment, seeing his sister remaining silent for so long — Glimpsing her concerned expression.

"Rias? What's wr..."

Yet, suddenly, something burst forth from Rias — cutting the worried brother's sentence in half!

"Nii-san! I am a big girl! I told you beforehand!" Rias started to glare at her brother even more, pouting intensely.

She withheld what happened today. She needs to solve this with her own power! Using her wits and the help of her Peerage — and maybe, that little extra help that strange human can provide!

"If a problem arises, I would like to solve it myself! Also, as a Satan, you shouldn't just abuse your authority and power like that!"

"I-I see... So it is like that..." Sirzechs' eyes ticked, forcing a smile.

It was strange, since when was Rias so aggressive? She is usually calm and collected — well, not when he embarrasses her before others by being... well, just a caring brother. Or even in some way annoying her — like now. But usually, she is indeed the picture of a collected young devil.

"I see, nonetheless, if any problem arises, don't hesitate to call me. Despite my current rank, you are still my little Princess! If she comes to harm you or any of your friends..."

"Nii-san!" Rias started to pout even more intensely, blushing as she recognized her brother's overprotectiveness once again.

"Now, now Rias, you know well..."

"Papa! You speak with Rias Onee-sama?"

"Ah! Millicas! Right, I am speaking with her. Do you want to say hello?"

"Hello! Onee-san!" a boy resembled Sirzechs' younger version but with red eyes waved to Rias behind the camera, smiling intensely.

"Ah, Millicas, it is good to see you. How are your studies going?" In just a single moment, the annoyed girl disappeared and was replaced by the charming and kind big sister figure.

"Splendidly! Thank you very much! Teacher said I am an exemplary student!"

"That's good. Keep up the good work, and I will bring you some souvenirs when I visit you next time."

"Thank you, I will do my best!" The boy nodded with sparkling eyes and turned to his father. "Papa! Can we drive around in your red car again? It has been such a long time since we did so. Where is your car, by the way? I didn't see it parked in its usual place."

"Ah, you see, it is being serviced..." Sirzechs' forceful expression was painful to watch.

The car which Gillian won from Sirzechs was the boy's favorite. He just loved to sit on his father's side and watch him drive through the countryside. One can say it was his favorite pastime.
