My Wives are Beautiful Demons

21  I'm not cute!

The calm that followed the events was simply… sad; it wasn't about having another death on his hands, it was just… the false sense of pleasure… It was an overwhelmingly ridiculous session...

"Such trash, it was just a fucking waste of time," Vergil spat insults at the dead man lying in front of him… He was already in the beyond, yet he continued to be hated even in death.

As for Vergil's reaction amid all the turmoil… He just wanted to have fun… And got nothing but disappointment. Sure, it was his first time overcoming a challenge, but… why… was it just so disappointing?

The answer was right in front of him… He gave everything he had and ended the enemy… Faster than he should have… To the point of not feeling the real pleasure, after all...

'Having power... so this is it.' He thought, looking at his hand that felt numb; the sensation of fighting was... Insane. So insane that he just wanted to keep going, and keep enjoying himself while breaking things...

'A fragile toy breaks quickly... I hope to find more of them.' Vergil thought, turning to face the women watching him.

Katharina, in particular, was quite concerned, but he just gave a smile and a nod confirming that everything was fine.

He walked over to the woman who really needed his attention now.

"Are you okay?" Vergil asked the woman who had injuries all over her body, still standing and trying to stay alive; of course, she was not at any risk, her heart was already producing energy to heal her, and her wounds were gradually disappearing.

"…" She was silent until she finally answered, "Yes…" blushing slightly as she met his completely blue eyes, which, previously red with rage, now seemed like two calm oceans.

'Was he really this handsome? Fuck!' She thought; despite being the calmest, she was still a demon!

"I'm glad, you made me quite worried." Vergil said, running his hand over her head, sinking his fingers into her golden hair. Roxanne remained silent for a few moments, absorbing Vergil's touch as her mind struggled to balance between physical pain and emotional turmoil.

She was feeling something new... something different...

The intensity of her blue eyes met his, and for a moment, time seemed to stop. The weight and suffering she had endured briefly dissipated. All that remained was the unexpected warmth of his touch, something so simple, yet making her waver internally.

She wasn't known for being crazy like Katharina or having Ada's seriousness… She was just herself, with a great capacity to ignore everything and be neutral, even in the face of the horrors the world could throw at her.

And yet, here she was, her heart racing, a reaction she despised in herself. It wasn't as if she wanted to admit that, somehow, Vergil, a man she didn't even know, caused such a reaction… she was breaking through the barriers she had worked so hard to build.

'What is this I'm feeling??!'

Of course, she still didn't know about the contract, only that there was a connection between them… she narrowed her eyes, trying to hide any vulnerability that might be slipping through her expressions, but it was difficult. Vergil, with those intense and now vividly blue eyes, seemed different.

"I'm glad you're okay," he repeated, bringing her back to reality with a lightness that was almost unsettling for her.

"You didn't have to protect me like that," she murmured proudly, looking away, trying to regain control. "I don't like owing anyone." She murmured almost as a whisper.

Vergil smiled at her, something unexpected, a gesture that made her stomach twist uncomfortably.

"I knew I could," he replied calmly, his hand still resting on her head, now moving gently through her golden hair. "But it doesn't matter now, does it? You're safe."

'I'm not a child!' She yelled internally, seeing that he didn't stop stroking her head. "That's enough…" she said, but he didn't stop, and she continued to feel his touch, playing with her hair. "I already said… that's enough…" She repeated until his hand moved down, passing over her features and ending on her chin. "Cute." He said.

'He did! He did!' Neither Ada nor Katharina could

She took a deep breath, fighting against the feeling of weakness that threatened to overwhelm her. It wasn't the time to be affected by emotions, but… She was Roxanne, and would never allow a mere touch to deviate her from who she was…, but his words… broke her psyche.

"I… I'm not cute…" She growled nervously, clenching her fists… "I'm not a damn cute girl!" She shouted at him as his hands continued to caress her head.

"Hm?" He looked at her, "Yes, you are." He responded, completely ignoring how nervous she was with just one word.

"I'm not cute!" She shouted again, but once more, Vergil questioned, "Really?" while continuing to stroke her, and she couldn't focus on anything other than what he had called her.

"So, let's see…" Vergil murmured as if thinking of something, until his smile widened. "A bit short, well-kept golden hair, beautiful big blue eyes like a serene lagoon, clearly showing I find them gorgeous, a slightly flushed face indicating good health, delicate hands, pink ears, and a sweet smell." Vergil said, looking at her, and that smile made her...

'Why is he so handsome!!!' She shouted internally, struggling against her desires. But he didn't stop, of course, he had to ask...

"What kind of girl is that? I have a good word in mind," he questioned, still teasing her with a gentle smile.

Roxanne felt her body tremble as if she were forced to answer him; her body burned in a specific place, making her blush... She looked at the two women behind him... unfortunately, they ignored it, and there was no help from them, besides him blocking her view to make it worse...

'I-I can't!' She thought.

"Come on... Say it... What kind of girl is she?" He questioned again as the burning sensation began to reach a very specific area she didn't want stimulated, forcing her to respond.

"A-a-a-cute g-g-g-g-girl." She answered quickly, as if it were her greatest sin.

"Exactly, that's you." He said, smiling, it was a gentle and warm smile she hadn't seen directed at her for a long time.

But soon, she recovered, looking for something to counter him.

"I don't smell sweet! There's no way I can be cute if I don't smell sweet!" She said, seeming like a little girl, even though she was in her twenties and only one sixty in height.

"Hm? But of course you do, I'm sensing a sweet breath, what is it? Caramel lollipop, oh, did you steal sweets, little girl?" Vergil teased in a comedic tone, he had heard something like this from Katharina and Ada..., but hadn't paid much attention.

In the distance, those two were just watching while talking softly so Roxanne wouldn't hear.

"He's messing with a creature he doesn't know…" Ada murmured worriedly; it was really a case that needed concern… "Soon, she… he's going to be beaten in a few seconds, I don't know how she hasn't grabbed him by the arm and done the same as the green monster vs. the god of lies" Katharina added, already expecting a negative reaction...

"Oh... I get the reference." Ada replied while continuing to watch how things unfolded, but the faces of the two women were simply shattered like mirrors...

Something unbelievable happened...

"I didn't want to steal, okay? She's the selfish bitch who doesn't like to give sweets to her own daughter!" Roxanne responded in an extremely...

She admitted to stealing the sweets while making a very, very... n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Cute." Everyone said at once...

"I'M NOT CUTE!" She shouted, showing only one thing...

"Yes, you're right, you're far from being cute." Vergil said while making a swift move and picking her up, like a princess from a fairy tale.

"You're the cutest wife on the face of the earth," Vergil said, again acting completely recklessly without even knowing her or what she would do...

"She's going to kill him." Katharina commented.

"Yes, she will." Ada confirmed.

"I'm not your wife!" She shouted, but "Yes, you are, blame Katharina for that. Now that she's made a mess, I'm going to take all three of you for myself, and I don't care about your opinions, you're mine." Vergil said, his gaze absorbing all the atmosphere of the place...

'He's gone crazy...' The three thought together as they saw how he was acting...

"Besides..." Vergil murmured while taking something from his pocket, even though he still held her in his arms, he managed to do so with style.

From his pocket, he pulled out a red lollipop.

"I had the impression this might be worth something." He said, "Here, it's yours." He smiled...

"I'll give you all the sweets you want, who would dare to deny sweets to my beautiful wife." He said, placing her head on his chest, which was rather larger than it should be...

"Will you give me sweets?" She questioned.

"Yes, whenever you want."

"Then, I just need to... be your wife?"

"You already are, it wouldn't change anything if you denied it."

"So..."

"So..."

"I accept." She said, a bit proudly, "But it's because of the sweets." She responded.

"Yes, I know. I'm a sweetheart, no need to worry." He commented, laughing as he carried her toward the two women.

"Conceited." Roxanne murmured as she was embraced by the warmth of his body. 'At least it's comfortable.'

However...

"I want to die." Katharina said, raising her arms in surrender. Her entire plan had failed, and she dropped to her knees.

"Next time, try to be more meticulous with your plans... this was a disaster." Ada said, bending down and placing a hand on Katharina's shoulder.

"Now, face the consequences." She murmured in Katharina's ear, causing her body to tremble.

"Hey, stop it, you weirdo!" Katharina yelled, but they were already too far away to hear. "Hey, wait for me!" She ran after them.
