My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 55: A normal day



"Hm? The three of you are together again," Vergil said, looking at the women sitting at the table... They seemed disconnected from each other, yet somehow, linked by something singular...

"Tsk, be quiet," Katharina said, annoyed. "I thought you were going to be just mine!" she whined, making a cute expression.

"But I am only yours," Vergil responded with a smile. "Or do you want me to do to them what I did to you?" he teased, and Katharina's face quickly turned.

"Hmph! You're so stingy!" she exclaimed, trying to hide the blush rising to her cheeks.

"So cute," Vergil commented, watching her as she unsuccessfully tried to disguise her embarrassment.

"How long do you think we can stay in peace like this?" Katharina asked, now more serious. "We're sitting here at a StarB, and your mom is probably hunting you down right this moment."

'I can't let this crazy woman interest my husband with her mother... I need to protect him,' she thought, her possessiveness burning intensely in her chest. Now that all of them were together again, her protective instincts were at their peak.

"I don't care, I'll kill anyone who tries to separate us!" Roxanne suddenly declared, raising the donut she was eating as if it were a sword. "My husband is the best!"

"Say that when you're not stuffing your face with sweets," Katharina shot back, irritated. "I challenge you!" she huffed, clearly offended by Roxanne calling Vergil 'my husband.'

"If you two keep bickering, the next sweet Roxanne holds is going to be your head," Vergil remarked, laughing as he watched the provocations between Katharina and Roxanne heat up.

Ada, who had been quiet up until then, watching with a distant expression, sighed and crossed her arms. "Can you two stop acting like children for a second? We have a real problem here."

Vergil raised an eyebrow at Ada. "Problem? What kind of problem, besides all the craziness we've already dealt with?"

Ada gave a weak smile, clearly worried. "My mom, Raphaeline. She... she's not going to accept what I did. Running away, stealing her sword, and coming after you, Vergil. This...

won't end well."

"Do you really think your crazy mom will be trouble? I've dealt with exorcists, demons, and even nameless beings. What can an angry mother do?" Katharina replied with a defiant tone, as if it were just another Tuesday.

Ada pressed her lips together, clearly not liking his confidence. "You don't get it. She's not just an angry mother. Raphaeline is... well, she's a crazy woman... And the fact that I defied her and ran away is more than enough for her to want to destroy me.

And by extension, anyone who stands by my side."

Roxanne looked at Ada, this time without mockery. "So that's why you've been so tense. It's not just fear... it's survival."

"It's more than that," Ada continued. "She won't stop until she gets what she wants. And... what she wants is to take me away from here, away from you, Vergil."

"I approve!" Katharina jumped up with her hand raised. "I vote yes! Shoo shoo, he's my husband!" She said, waving her hands in the air.

Vergil smiled, seeing Katharina playing around (at least he thought it was a joke), then turned serious. He held Ada's hand. "Listen, Ada. I promised I'd take care of you, and no matter how crazy your mom is, I won't let anything happen to you. She'll have to get through me first."

Ada lowered her gaze, her hands trembling slightly as she spoke. "She will... Vergil, she's not just any opponent. She's cruel, relentless... And if she needs to, she'll destroy everything around you to take me back."

"I'm cruel and relentless too," Vergil muttered with a cold smile. "If your mother thinks she can tear me away from you, she's in for a big surprise. I'm more than ready for this."

The silence at the table was momentary, broken only by the sound of Roxanne biting into another donut. "That's not gonna change anything; we'll just take her down," she said, mouth full.

Vergil chuckled softly, shaking his head. "She's right. Ada, your mother might be powerful, but she has no idea what it's like to face us."

Ada wanted to believe that, but the fear still gripped her. "Just... be ready. She doesn't play fair."

Suddenly, Novah walked into the café, carrying several shopping bags and looking clearly exhausted. Her long blonde hair was tied up in a loose bun, and her face showed nothing but pure fatigue.

"You... have no idea what it's like to face a crowd of human women at a clearance sale," she said, her voice tired as she practically dragged herself to the table. "If I knew hell was made of packed malls, I'd have stayed home."

Vergil let out a low laugh, watching her drop the bags to the floor. "I thought you'd be enjoying yourself, Novah. Didn't expect it to be a near-death experience."

Novah shot him a tired look as she pulled out a chair and slumped into it. "Oh, please. If you knew how many elbows I took to the ribs just to grab a jacket... I think some of those women have warrior blood."

Roxanne burst into laughter, clearly entertained by Novah's ordeal. "You're really bad at this, Novah. When are you gonna learn that the secret is using a bit of your demonic power to intimidate them? They run away like you're cursed."

"If I had done that, half the city would've collapsed from the force I was holding back," Novah retorted, rolling her eyes. "What's going on here anyway? Did I miss something?"

Ada looked at her, still tense but trying to ease the mood. "Oh, nothing much. We were just talking about... how my mother, a demonic queen, is probably going to show up to take me away and maybe kill all of us."

Novah blinked, processing the information. "Ah. Got it. And you're discussing this... in a StarB?" She asked, clearly baffled, glancing around.

Katharina shrugged. "Where else would we discuss it? Besides, we're prepared. A queen's not gonna ruin our afternoon."

"Sure," Novah muttered, rubbing her temples as if she were dealing with a headache. "Of course, you guys would treat this like just another day." MVLeMpYr-chapter

"Hm? What are you complaining about? You were out shopping," Vergil said sarcastically, a tone of displeasure in his voice, clearly growing impatient with Novah lately.

"Huh? What's with the sudden attitude?" Novah questioned, narrowing her eyes.

"Shut up and sit down already," Katharina interjected, pointing to the chair. "Wait, you too?" she asked, confused.

"Oh... the kids wanted to have some fun," Novah murmured with a mischievous smile. "Sorry for interrupting your little game the other day... I really didn't mean to spoil it," she teased, but what she got in response...

"Just because you're dry and can't get anything doesn't mean we can't, you old, bitter spinster," Katharina and Vergil said in unison.
