YM778.TV Chapter 26: Getting back to routine, or almost.
The morning was clear, and Vergil felt a mix of relief and nervousness after returning to the usual routine of waking up early, having breakfast, and walking to school. He didn\'t know what to expect, but he would be extra cautious now that he was aware of the Inquisition and its Exorcists.
But… he thought too soon about having a little peace. As he approached the entrance to the university, Vergil saw a group of people gathered near the main gate. As he got closer, he noticed a small crowd surrounding someone. His tall, imposing figure caught attention, but what really drew the stares was the trio by his side: Katharina, Ada, and Roxanne.
They were there, standing, waiting for him with an energy that seemed impossible to ignore.
"Vergil!" Roxanne shouted, waving enthusiastically. She was wearing a stylish dress that highlighted her figure, drawing curious looks from the students. Her smile was contagious, and her presence seemed to light up the space. And, of course, she couldn\'t be without… a lollipop in her hand.
Vergil, surprised, smiled at seeing them, though it wasn\'t exactly a happy smile... Of course, he loved them, but he needed some breathing room... The three of them together were… brutal, to say the least.
"What are you doing here?"
Katharina stepped forward with a satisfied look. "We thought it would be fun to welcome you back. And, of course, we need to show everyone how amazing our man is." She teased him, clearly enjoying showing off to the people… Though she was still getting used to the word "Our."
Ada, with her unmistakable cold charm, added, "Besides, we wanted to give you a warning before you start causing trouble around here… which we forgot to mention... but not here..."
The students\' attention was clearly on the group. Murmurs began to spread, and some students exchanged curious and speculative glances. Vergil tried to ignore the stares and focus on his wives. "You know you didn\'t have to do this, right? You could\'ve just gone to my place and—"
"Roxanne and I are heading to the Demon World, and I don\'t really trust Katharina," she muttered almost to herself. "Tsk, insolent," Katharina remarked, crossing her arms.
Vergil chuckled, a bit flustered but also charmed by their enthusiasm. "Let\'s take a walk around the campus then, so we can talk. I don\'t want to be the center of attention, but I also don\'t want to be rude."
The group began walking around the campus, and the impact of the three attractive women next to Vergil was immediate. Admiring and even slightly envious looks followed them. People whispered to each other, and small groups of students gathered to watch, clearly intrigued by the unusual scene.
"Are you seeing this?" a blonde student whispered to her friend as she watched Vergil and his companions. "These women are incredible. Who are they?"
"I have no idea, I only recognize the Asian one… she studies here, but this must be some kind of college dream," her friend replied, in awe. "Just look at them. They\'re like goddesses or something."
Vergil tried to ignore the stares and focus on finding a bit of normalcy, but it was impossible not to notice the impact his wives were having. As they walked through the halls, a familiar voice caught his attention. It was Alexa, standing near the sports court.
"Vergil!" Alexa waved excitedly as she walked toward him. "I\'ve heard some rumors about you and those mysterious women. What\'s going on? Oh–"
Vergil sighed, quickly thinking of an explanation. "Ah, Alexa, they\'re... well, they\'re foreigners I met online. I got to know them during a study trip, and they came to visit. It\'s a bit complicated, but nothing too serious."
Alexa raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. "Foreigners? They\'re really popular here. I heard some students comparing them to goddesses. That must mean you\'re now in the spotlight. The guys on campus are all talking about you." She added with a sly smile, hinting at something strange.
Vergil laughed nervously. "Really? I didn\'t think they\'d cause such a stir. We were just having fun."
Alexa gave him a mischievous grin. "Oh, they won\'t forget it anytime soon. And now, you\'re the guy who managed to be involved with three such impressive women. Get ready for all eyes to be on you."
Before Vergil could respond, the bell for the basketball game started to ring. He had promised to join a friendly match with some classmates and decided to go along with it, more to divert attention from the campus commotion than out of any real interest in the game.
"Did he forget that we\'re here with him?" Ada questioned. "Yeah…" the other two replied. "Ahh... it\'s so hard to deal with reincarnates... His emotions are still messy. He feels something and acts on it immediately...
We need to work on his perceptions before he meets our mothers…" Ada murmured.
"Don\'t think about that," Katharina and Roxanne spoke in unison, with Katharina adding, "I don\'t even want to imagine what my mom would do if she met him... That crazy kidnapper... What would she do? Train him to death? Kidnap him and force him to get stronger by fighting in some coliseum or something?" she hypothesized, already imagining her insane mother.
"Lady Agares… I don\'t want to see her anytime soon," Ada commented. "Yeah, I want to stay far away from Lady Agares. I\'d prefer if she just died, but she won\'t... She\'s the strongest there is… I don\'t even want to think about what she\'d do to him," Roxanne added as Vergil seemingly ignored them.
"Hmph! You talk about my mom as if yours are normal!" Katharina huffed, puffing her chest. "Your mom\'s a candy-obsessed psycho, and yours is a psycho obsessed with katanas and blades!" Katharina pointed to Roxanne, then Ada. "And yours is the biggest monstrosity in the world, want to compare? I still remember the poor emissaries of God..." Ada shot back.
"She killed what? Twenty popes from the Vatican?" Roxanne commented. "Just imagine if she finds out the Inquisition attacked the three of us. She\'d go kill another pope at the Vatican!" Roxanne said, and the other two couldn\'t help but agree. It was just another Monday problem for them.
While they conversed, the basketball game began, and as expected, Vergil quickly stood out. His skill and agility on the court were evident, and he dominated the game with ease. He made impressive plays, dribbled past his opponents with finesse, and scored points with precision.
Roxanne, Katharina, and Ada watched from the stands, cheering enthusiastically. "Go, Vergil!" Roxanne clapped. "Show them how it\'s done!"
Ada leaned forward. "She\'s gotten used to the wife role quickly…" Ada remarked. "She just wants to be spoiled. He promised her sweets, so she\'ll do anything he wants for them... candy maniac," Katharina retorted, clearly irritated, though it seemed she was already at her wit\'s end, watching her husband share attention with these other women. She wanted to kill them all soon!
But she knew she couldn\'t. "Tsk, sluts are staring at him," Katharina muttered as they all turned their attention to the crowd.
Vergil\'s classmates were clearly impressed with his performance, but his wives\' impact continued to be the main attraction for the men present. Even those not playing were watching with great interest.
"He\'s abusing his powers... this is going to cause trouble," Ada muttered.
"Let him be. He was already known for being good at sports. Nothing could give him away, even using a demon\'s body," Katharina commented, knowing that Vergil was already the best at school even before gaining his demonic powers. This was nothing for him.
"Look at him," one student said to another. "That guy is a beast on the court. And the women around him... they\'re like something out of a fairy tale."
"It\'s true. I think he\'s living the dream," the other student replied, with a tone of admiration and a hint of envy.
The game continued, and as expected, Vergil won easily. After the match, he approached his friends and teammates to thank them for the competition. However, the atmosphere around him was filled with admiration and curiosity, and he noticed that everyone\'s eyes were on him.
But not far away, there were two men watching Vergil with a different kind of gaze...
"Pureblood..." one of them murmured, crossing his arms. The other, sitting on a backward chair, resting his arms on the back, added, "The three with him are also... but they\'re from direct lineages."
"What do you think? Should we interfere?" asked the taller man with brown hair.
"No... let\'s just watch. We can\'t always attack every new demon that shows up. The strength of those three over there... it\'s General-level. We\'d probably be blown to pieces and killed for nothing...
Especially the redhead... she\'s not using any racial appearance enhancements. Her combat power is greater than all of ours combined. Demons with natural red hair only exist in two demon clans... Gremory and..."
"Agares."
