Provocation?
It's not impossible.
After all, Rias's self-esteem is too strong, and she can easily be provoked by small things.
"Red-haired Demon Princess: '?' "
"Fallen Angel: 'Oh right, why are you asking us why you got married so early? Is it popular for minors to marry in the Underworld?' "
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'Of course not, most of the laws in the Underworld are the same as in the human world.' "
"Shepherd: 'Although they are the same, many things have no binding force on nobles. However, you should know what to do now. Show your value as soon as possible, make some achievements, and no one will urge you to marry.' "
"Shepherd: 'I remember Sona Sitri probably had the same dilemma as you in the past, but she solved that matter very well on her own.' "
Rosen remembered that Sona Sitri's way of breaking off her engagement was by playing chess.
Because it was similar in nature to devil pieces, Sona Sitri, who was excellent at chess, broke off the engagement by herself.
On the other hand, Rias.
If it weren't for the protagonist, she wouldn't be able to do anything.
Is this taking on the script of a naive, sweet protagonist, but giving her a strong personality?
Rias's expression was a bit bitter after reading that sentence.
She and Sona Sitri were good friends, but also rivals. The town she governed was right next to Komao Town.
Is Rosen implying that she's inferior to Sona Sitri?
She felt a bit unconvinced, but upon careful thought, it was indeed true.
"Shepherd: 'Think about it yourself. If you still mess up after knowing most of the plot, it can only mean your ability is insufficient.' "
"Fallen Angel: 'Indeed, indeed. If you still can't do anything like in the anime after foreknowing so many things, then that would be too lame.' "
"Hell's Fubuki: 'When you encounter Kokabiel later, don't try to be strong alone. You really can't beat him.' "
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'I know! I will plan well! If I still mess these things up, I'll look down on myself!' "
After a brief period of dejection, Rias quickly recovered.
After all, as Rosen said.
If she still couldn't do anything even with the ability to see the future, compared to Raiser… no, she would be even worse than Raiser!
And Sona Sitri, who she had always competed with, had apparently left her far behind long ago.
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'Thank you for enlightening me! Especially Mr. Rosen, although your words were impolite, you pointed out my arrogance.' "
"Shepherd: 'No need to thank me, we're all just group members. Besides, you're just too caught up in it.' "
Give a stick, then throw a sweet date.
Helping comes in many forms.
A few words from Rosen could make Rias's favorability towards him soar.
After all, to increase favorability through help, one must realize that the other party has received one's help, otherwise it is meaningless.
"Shepherd: 'You also need to handle your peerage's affairs. Koneko and Akeno have high potential, but because you indulged them too much, it turned into this situation. As for Gasper, if it's really not working, just leave him.' "
Possessing a powerful Sacred Gear, willing to accept the care of Rias and others, yet not contributing at all, unable to change his personality, no different from a good-for-nothing.
Moreover, he was a man.
Of course, even if it were a beautiful girl, if she couldn't be used, she'd be just another roadside thing.
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'I'll go talk to those two and do some ideological work. As for Gasper… let's not discard him. Let him be as he is.' "
"Magic Old Man: 'He's a teammate who will drag you down.' "
"I Don't Want to Eat Monsters: 'Oh, right! When the three-way conference happens, you must transfer him out beforehand! Otherwise, he'll be used by the Chaos Brigade again!' "
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'I know that, of course. I'll put him in the Underworld in a while.' "
Although he was also a student at Kuoh Academy, he never attended school, so it made no difference where Gasper was placed.
If it was in the Gremory family's territory, not only would he have dedicated care, but it would also be very safe.
At least, after watching a few episodes of the anime, she knew that the Gremory family was never attacked from beginning to end.
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'Then I'll leave first.' "
"Shepherd: 'Alright, waiting for your good news.' "
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'Thank you. Once I resolve the matters at hand, I will find a way to repay you.' "
"Shepherd: 'Just give me access to your side and let me look around. I'm quite interested in some things there.' "
"Red-haired Demon Princess: 'Don't worry! After all, I'm also very eager to personally meet and know what kind of person Mr. Rosen is.' "
The change from "you" to "Mr." took only a dozen minutes.
Rias already had a significant amount of goodwill towards the unseen Rosen.
Subsequently, Rias temporarily exited the chat group.
She had already thought of what to say for the ideological work with Koneko and Himejima Akeno.
Solving Koneko's situation was very simple.
After all, her emotional knot was that her sister abandoned her back then.
However, Koneko's sister, Kuroka, had her reasons for becoming a stray devil.
As for Himejima Akeno, while her father was indeed at fault, this was not a reason to hate her own bloodline. He had to find a way to shift her attention from the Fallen Angel to the Five Great Clans.
Just then, the door to the Occult Research Club opened.
Himejima Akeno entered with the little cat, both looking at him with worried eyes.
It was like someone delivering a pillow when you were sleepy.
Rias showed a faint smile and, before they could speak, said, "Just in time, I have something to tell you."
At this moment, in the chat group:
Magic Old Man: "That newcomer named Rias seems to have a high affinity for Rosen already."
Magic Old Man: "You're really skilled, Rosen. Have you tricked many girls with this method?"
Frieren knew Rosen's character best.
He was very patient with friends, especially those of the opposite sex.
Although he had been impolite to Tokisaki Kurumi and Rias just now, he had actually solved the problems they faced.
It was the same when she learned to drive.
Frieren often wondered if she understood human emotions, perhaps she would also have extraordinary feelings for Rosen.
However, she was just a bit more humorous now.
To understand what "love" meant was still too early for her.
