YM778.TV Chapter 27: Secret Admirers
Vergil smiled, a bit tired. "Yeah, it seems like I\'m constantly in the spotlight today. I hope it passes soon."
"With those women and what you did today, it won\'t be happening anytime soon," Alexa commented. "You\'re in a very visible place now."
Vergil shook his head, trying to process everything happening. "Well, at least I\'m surrounded by people who support me. That helps."
"Definitely," Alexa said with a smile. "And don\'t worry, everyone will get used to it eventually. Just try to enjoy the moment and do your best. Besides, Harry hasn\'t been coming to school for a few days; do you know anything about that?"
"Hm? No, I was out for a week on a... trip, let\'s say." Vergil said, "I\'ll send him a message, and I\'ll let you know if there\'s anything." He said while taking out his phone.
"Alright, thanks..." Alexa said, preparing to leave. She calmly picked up her bag and turned around, "See you later." She said, smiling from corner to corner, a truly charming smile...
The three women who had been quiet... "She could get into an accident... I mean, I\'d love to call Truck-kun to play with her at the school gate... Maybe I—Ouch!" Katharina felt Ada stepping on her foot!
"Ouch ouch ouch, you bitch!" Katharina shouted at Ada, completely breaking the mood. "Bitch is your mother," Ada said, looking deep into her eyes. "Do you want Vergil to get mad at you? Then stop plotting against anyone who appears in front of him." Ada commented.
"Weren\'t you supposed to leave? Go already! I want to enjoy my husband alone!" Katharina said, pointing to the other side. "Get out of here, go go!" She said.
"This idiot doesn\'t want to listen. I need to explain what he has to watch out for. I know you\'ll let him do whatever he wants. I just don\'t want him to suddenly die, and your stupid contract, miss, to kill us along with him!" Ada said, annoyed with Katharina, who almost lowered her ears like a sad puppy.
Vergil watched the exchange of barbs between Katharina and Ada with a mixed expression of tiredness and amusement. He was well acquainted with the strong personalities of his wives and was used to these moments of tension that arose between them. However, deep down, he knew they were all there to help him, even when things got a bit out of control.
"Okay, okay, girls," Vergil interrupted, raising his hands in a pacifying gesture. "Let\'s calm down. No unnecessary attention, alright?"
Ada, still serious, crossed her arms and looked at Vergil. "Exactly. What I\'m trying to say is that you need to be careful, especially here at the university. We know how important it is to keep our true identities a secret. The last thing we want is to attract inquisitors or anyone hunting demons."
Vergil nodded, understanding Ada\'s concern. "I know, and I don\'t intend to do anything that will put us all at risk. If there\'s one thing we\'ve learned lately, it\'s that discretion is our best friend. I don\'t want another idiot kidnapping my cute wife," he commented, smiling. Roxanne trembled with anger for a second but regained herself, only smiling at him.
"That\'s right, boss. We trust you. And as always, we\'ll be keeping an eye on things. But for now, we need to go back to the underworld to sort out some matters." Roxanne said, trying to get back to the main topic.
Ada gave one last stern look at Katharina, who continued with her mischievous expression. "And you, Katharina, you better take care of him while we\'re gone. No causing trouble. And please, avoid calling the... what did you say... \'Truck-kun\' to send women to Isekai," Ada sighed.
Well, despite Ada being a bit strict, she liked anime and knew very well what Truck-kun was... who doesn\'t know what Truck-kun is? The legendary creator of all isekais! The one who sent legendary figures to their worlds!
Katharina rolled her eyes, pretending disinterest, but soon gave a mischievous smile as she looked at Vergil. "Oh, don\'t worry about that. I\'ll take very good care of him. He\'ll be in good hands." She said with a mischievous, almost teasing smile.
Roxanne laughed at Katharina\'s comment, shaking her head. "That\'s it, Katharina, just don\'t overdo it. We want Vergil in one piece when we come back, not too exhausted to greet us."
Vergil let out a soft laugh, shaking his head. "I seem to be in good hands. You can go without worries."
\'Good hands, my ass. She\'ll get you in trouble faster than a Lamborghini.\' Ada finally sighed once more and, with a look of mild disapproval, turned to Roxanne. "Let\'s go. We have things to handle. And Katharina, I\'ll trust you, even if it seems risky."
The two gave Vergil a final wave before discreetly disappearing without making a fuss. Ada and Roxanne knew the importance of maintaining discretion and made sure not to use any flashy powers, simply blending away among the buildings as if they were leaving normally.
Now alone with Katharina, Vergil turned his attention to her. "So... it looks like it\'s just the two of us for now."
Katharina moved closer, linking her arm with Vergil\'s, with a seductive smile. "Exactly, my love. Now that it\'s just the two of us, you don\'t have any more distractions. And as promised, I\'m going to take very good care of you." She winked, making the provocation clear.
Vergil laughed, shaking his head. "I hope you stick to the rules. No drawing too much attention, okay? We know what\'s at stake."
"Sure, sure," Katharina said casually, still with that mischievous glint in her eyes. "No demon powers. Just a devoted wife taking care of her husband... and having a little fun in the process." She gave Vergil a gentle pinch, laughing.
He sighed, resigned but unable to deny he liked Katharina\'s carefree and mischievous manner. "Just don\'t overdo it," he said, half-joking, half-serious. "The last thing we need is any inquisitor sniffing around here. If we keep our identity secret, we\'ll be fine."
Vergil was about to relax when Katharina, with a look of alertness, fixed her gaze on a specific point.
The environment around them seemed to change instantly.
The sky turned a deep red, and the ground appeared to ripple as if pulsating with restless energy.
Vergil felt a shiver as he realized they were inside a battle dimension similar to the one Leon had put him in days ago, a reality sphere created by Katharina to protect and isolate any confrontation.
"We\'ve had two little rats watching us for a while..." Katharina murmured, her gaze fixed on an invisible point. She raised a hand and, with a nearly imperceptible gesture, the barriers around them adjusted to ensure no one could escape the dimension. A subtle yet imposing demonic energy emanated from her, and Vergil sensed the seriousness of the situation.
His heart raced, not just because of the sudden change but due to the tension it carried.
Inside the battle sphere, time seemed to stretch. Katharina was calm, but her eyes were sharp and observant. Vergil felt a wave of concern knowing that something was about to happen. The last thing he wanted was for his wife to be forced to deal with any additional problems now, especially with how hard they were trying to maintain normal lives.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of them. The first had bright green hair adorned with piercings that glinted in the red light of the dimension. The second had brown hair styled in a rebellious pompadour and an expression of disdain. Both seemed uncomfortable with the situation and were clearly caught off guard by the intensity of the demonic barrier.
Katharina, with a cold and calculating smile, crossed her arms. "It seems we have unwanted visitors. Well, since you\'re here, why don\'t you introduce yourselves?"
The young man with green hair shifted slightly, clearly irritated. "Why are you holding us here? What do you think you\'re doing? We didn\'t do anything."
Katharina laughed lightly, a sound that mixed amusement and disdain. "You think you can just spy and get away with it? Not here, not while we\'re having our private moment. Now, please explain what you\'re doing and why you were watching us, Heroes."
The young man with brown hair raised an eyebrow, his posture challenging. "We\'re not here to cause trouble. We just wanted to see what was happening. We didn\'t know you were so... how should I put it... strict, Miss Demon."
Vergil, in turn, watched with interest. It wasn\'t common for his wife to be so direct; she liked to play around, but she did seem a bit more serious than usual.
Katharina was undeterred by the young man\'s disdain. "Well then. Let\'s clarify things. What exactly were you hoping to accomplish by watching us? This is Agares Clan territory."
The two exchanged glances. "I see. We were just keeping an eye on four demons who suddenly appeared at our school; we didn\'t mean to offend. Princess Agares, Katharina Agares... and this man... Vergil Kenn-"
"Vergil Agares, my dear husband" She said, breaking the faces of the two "heroes."
