[Shepherd: "Even bystanders might suffer. By then, the problem won't be as simple as just breaking off the engagement."]
[Shepherd: "The worst-case scenario is being accused of colluding with Heaven."]
[Hell's Fubuki: "But didn't the three factions sign a peace treaty later?"]
[Shepherd: "That only happened after the Fallen Angel cadres attacked Komao Town. Right now, they're still mutually displeased with each other."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Then forget it, I'll just try to figure something out myself."]
Rias's forehead was covered in black lines.
For her, a devil, to use a heavenly treasure, wasn't that like carrying a lantern to the toilet?.
She sighed slightly.
Rosen was right.
After all, this was a private matter between two families within their Underworld, so she couldn't ask outsiders for help~.
If anyone were to help, it could only be her own peerage.
But Rias didn't think the chat group members would be willing to become her peerage.
Of course, she wouldn't be so rash either.
Although she was currently very short on peerage, she hadn't thought of recruiting from the group members.
Wouldn't it be deliberately overbearing to join the group and immediately say, "You all be my peerage"?
[Shepherd: "Besides external help, there are a few other methods. For example, you can use points to strengthen your power, or take a gamble and try a lottery draw."]
Rias had already understood all the functions of the chat group.
Point lottery and strengthening were indeed good ways.
But she had no points at all.
She couldn't possibly rely on daily sign-in points; that would take forever, wouldn't it?
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Sorry, I don't have any points, and… the points needed to strengthen me to be stronger than Raiser must be considerable."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "By the way, how do you all get points?"]
[Fallen Angel: "Sign-ins plus missions, but it seems there haven't been many group missions released recently. The chat group has become lazy."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Then when will it refresh?"]
[Shepherd: "Unsure, it refreshes randomly, but generally, it only actively releases when a group member cannot handle a certain problem."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "I have a problem I can't handle right now, so why not?"]
[Shepherd: "Generally, it's released when personal safety is involved, or a major event occurs. An engagement like this poses no threat to you."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "Alright then."]
The hope Rias had just raised was dashed again.
Could she really pray for a group member to be in danger now?
[Shepherd: "Of course, there's one last method."]
[Ice Witch: "Rosen, next time, can you just say everything at once?"]
[I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Yeah! It's so annoying when you only say half!"]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "So what is it?"]
No matter what others said, Rias's mind was currently filled with how to quickly break off her engagement with Raiser.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to eat or sleep later.
What plot, what three-way talks, they would have nothing to do with her anymore.
[Shepherd: "The reason your family is rushing you to marry is because they believe the family needs a male heir to help you inherit the Gremory family, and it has little to do with maintaining the pure-blood devil lineage."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "What do you mean?"]
[Shepherd: "It's simple, because your family doesn't trust your abilities."]
[Red-haired Demon Princess: "How could that be? The family has always supported me, and I've always been familiar with the family's various affairs. Even if I take over the family now, I would manage it in an orderly manner!"]
Hearing this, Rias couldn't help but feel a bit angry.
She was incompetent?
How was that possible?
Since childhood, she had been learning about the Gremory family's various businesses and acquiring all sorts of knowledge, all for the purpose of inheriting the family legacy from her father.
If she wasn't capable, who was?
[Shepherd: "I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush yet."]
[Magic Old Man: "Listening to you speak for a moment is better than reading for a lifetime."]
[Shepherd: "There's a reason for saying you're incompetent. Why don't you think carefully about what you've done since coming to the human world?"]
[Shepherd: "Have you done anything beneficial to the family, or anything that would make others remember you?"]
Seeing him say this, Rias began to recall her actions carefully to refute him.
However, after thinking for more than ten seconds, it seemed… she really didn't have any outstanding achievements to show for it.
[Shepherd: "Although your Underworld has undergone reforms and evolved into a civilized society, the underlying principle of the strong preying on the weak still exists, it's just wearing different clothes."]
[Shepherd: "Were you just about to give examples of what you've done to refute me, but couldn't think of a single one?"]
.....
[Ice Witch: "I also finished watching the first season. Rias basically didn't have any particularly brilliant moments, especially when facing Kokabiel. Knowing that the other party was a Fallen Angel cadre, she still didn't ask the Underworld for help, but rushed over with those weak peerage members."]
[Ice Witch: "If the White Dragon Emperor hadn't appeared in time at the end, you and your peerage would have died long ago."]
[Ice Witch: "My only evaluation of you is arrogant and unaware."]
[I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: "Um… isn't Miss Esdeath's evaluation a bit too sharp? I think… Miss Rias still has some advantages, for example… uh, she's very caring towards her peerage, completely unlike a devil."]
[Bad Woman: "From that perspective, this probably shouldn't be considered an advantage."]
[Du Dao: "That's indeed the case."]
[Shepherd: "Caring for your peerage is fine, but on the contrary, Rias, because of those peerage members, you've caused your family to bear many rumors."]
[Shepherd: "Initially, it was Himejima Akeno, who was being hunted by the Five Great Clans. They only agreed to release her out of respect for Lucifer, but this further deepened the already strained relationship between the Five Great Clans and the Underworld. And then there's Koneko, she's the sister of a stray devil and was originally going to be sent to the gallows, but you forcibly saved her. Saving people is kind, but it still has negative consequences."].
