My Wives are Beautiful Demons

Chapter 5: She mixed up the Pacts...

Vergil sat on the floor, leaning against the wall, looking at his hands with a confused expression.

"I don't understand," he commented, catching Ada's attention as she was distracted with her phone.

A few minutes had passed since the embarrassing incident, and Ada still hadn't said anything, only distancing herself.

Putting her phone down, she asked, "What do you still not understand?"

Pointing to his head, Vergil replied, "This."

Ada fell silent for a moment. "It's not up to me to answer that... I was dragged into this because of that idiot," Ada murmured.

But Vergil wasn't talking about his head. "I'm talking about the horns... I'm a demon, right? Where are my horns?!" He questioned, visibly bothered.

"Besides that, what the hell is this feeling between us? I'm feeling something so... new..." Vergil said, looking at her.

Ada sighed. "Sometimes I forget how humans are clueless about other races." She seemed tired but still took the time to explain.

"We're Pure-Blood Demons; we look like humans. Although we have demon wings that resemble those of a bat," she explained naturally.

"Most of us, anyway..." She murmured after finishing.

"Hm?" Vergil raised his eyebrows, as if expecting more. "Finish," he ordered with a mischievous smile, and she immediately felt a shiver in her body.

"There are demons who can have features of creatures and monsters," she spoke quickly, almost swallowing the words.

"See? Just answer the question," Vergil smiled.

'Don't try to kill him, don't try to kill him, the curse will activate and the worst will happen!' She used all her strength to ignore Vergil's behavior.

"And what about this feeling?" he murmured. "My emotions... are a mess..."

Ada looked at him and spoke in a serious tone. "How do you identify yourself? What is your personality like?" She questioned, wanting to show how things had changed.

"Hm? I don't know. My mother used to say that I'm somewhat disconnected from the world. I always do what I want. If I have a goal, I'll achieve it, even if it takes one, two, or ten years." He explained.

Ada, after a while, gave a small smile. "You're better than almost all newborns; don't worry, it's normal... Although your control is really remarkable," she commented.

"Normal? I feel like I could attack you right now and possess you for myself," Vergil said, being completely honest.

He knew that if she didn't want it, he wouldn't do anything, but for him, this was the pinnacle of his masculinity. He had never wanted a woman as much as he wanted Ada at that moment.

And that was frightening!

Ada looked at him, a little embarrassed. "Don't think that I want something like that," she said, though her voice sounded contradictory.

"Huh? Did you forget that I can feel what you're feeling?" he questioned. She grabbed a nearby pillow and threw it directly at his face.

"Stop it!" she ordered, completely embarrassed.

'So cute...'

"So... what exactly is happening with our heads?" Vergil commented.

Ada sighed again, tired of being the teacher.

"Let's say that the Master-Servant Pact is a way to create Demons from an existence, but it wasn't done the way it was supposed to be..." She commented. "The woman who did it... who I'd rather let her introduce herself, is a bit... Well, you'll meet her."

"The problem is that it was an Improvised Contract. I don't know what happened, but... that crazy woman... must have mixed up the contracts..." She murmured. "Oh, that stupid woman..."

"Mixed up?" Vergil raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, she... might have accidentally changed something... well, she was desperate to save you," Ada explained, knowing roughly what was involved.

"Stop hiding things from me that involve me," he ordered again, and she had no choice.

"She mixed Master-Servant with..." She murmured. "Marriage..."

Silence...

Just the deepest silence...

For a long time...

Just...

Silence...

"Marriage?" Vergil broke the silence, and for a moment, Ada lost her breath entirely upon seeing the look in his eyes.

'Why... what is this feeling?' She wondered as she waited for him to say something more...

"What a wonder..." Vergil murmured.

Ada heard this but thought he was disappointed. For some reason, she felt a bit... sad? She didn't even know where this intimacy they had created in just a few hours was coming from...

"This is wonderful." Vergil said with a smile. "A beautiful woman, a happy man." He said, sounding only...

"W-What?" Ada stammered.

Ada looked at Vergil, trying to process what he had just said.

The shock and confusion in her eyes were evident, and she struggled to find the right words. "You... you're kidding, right?" She asked, half incredulous, half hoping he was just trying to lighten the situation.

Vergil, however, seemed completely serious, his smile only widening like a demon's. "I'm not kidding," he replied with a mischievous tone. "If the contract was mixed with a marriage one, it means that, somehow, we're connected in a way I didn't expect. And... well, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to me."

Ada was speechless, a mix of emotions crossing her face.

She didn't know whether to be outraged, scared, or... strangely relieved. As absurd as the situation was, there was something about Vergil that made her feel safe, even amidst all the chaos.

And that kiss wouldn't leave her mind.

"You... aren't angry?" She finally managed to ask, her voice low, as if trying to understand his reaction.

"Angry?" Vergil repeated, tilting his head to the side as if the idea were absurd. "Why would I be angry? I just found out that I'm connected to a beautiful woman in a way I couldn't have imagined. If it means we have a contract that binds us... then so be it. I accept." He said, spreading his arms in surrender.

Ada was momentarily paralyzed, trying to absorb his words. "But... what if I don't accept?" She whispered.

Vergil approached her, his eyes serious as he observed her. "I'm not going to force you into anything, Ada. But I don't really care; I'll be reckless and screw it, I'm a fan of the culture, if I can have a gorgeous wife? Fine by me!" He said, though that wasn't all he was thinking...

"Besides, it probably can't be reversed." He commented, and Ada stared at him, "What do you mean?"

"It's what you heard. If whoever made the contract messed up by adding a new rule, it means the previous rule no longer exists or was overwritten. Contracts are unbreakable if they don't have proper terms, and since this is a mistake, I'm sorry, we're stuck forever," Vergil said with conviction that even startled Ada...

Well, she was the demon here; why did he seem to understand more than she did?

"How can you be so sure?!" She shouted at him, causing him to jump. "What the hell, woman, wake up."

Vergil said, standing up and straightening his clothes.

"I'm being realistic. If we follow the logic, I'm sorry but we're married, and you'll be my wife, and the conversation ends here," Vergil said, smiling at her...

'This guy... now I see why that idiot likes him,' Ada thought, seeing that this man was... 'Dangerous...'

"Ah... what a problem this is going to be..." Ada said, placing her hand on her head while massaging her temples.

"I don't see any problem at all," Vergil said, and she was starting to get irritated with his irrationality.

"Hey, idiot, haven't you realized it yet?" Ada questioned as she stood in front of him, looking up at him.

At that moment, her head reached his shoulder... Well, the transformation, although not too abrupt, had given Vergil a few things... Including...

"DAMN CHARISMA!" She shouted to herself, and his smile widened... well, he felt it...

"You damn idiot, don't you understand? It's not just me!" She yelled, making Vergil's face turn curious.

He took a few seconds to understand... Until he focused on his head...

Until he felt something... like a GPS pinpointing, where he sensed two other people... They were in different locations that... well, he couldn't identify, as if they were entirely unknown places.

His eyes widened, and he looked directly at Ada, who was somewhat embarrassed after he saw that she found him attractive...

"You're not saying that..." He murmured, and she completed, "Yes, you damn pervert! There are two more besides me!" She shouted.

For a moment... He was taken back to an old memory...

"Hey! If you treat a woman badly, I'll rip your balls off!" He heard his mother yelling at him.

"No matter how many there are, treat them with love, care, and respect. Or I'll make sure to rip those balls of yours off." She was genuinely furious.

But in truth, she was just concerned. She approached the young man and looked deep into his eyes.

"Women are sacred relics, meant to be loved and protected. When you marry, I know you'll be a good man. But don't act like your father. Appreciate the woman you have. Even if it ends in divorce," she said, shrugging.

Vergil snapped back to the present with Ada...

"Shit..." He murmured. "My mother is going to go crazy when she finds out I have three wives." Vergil said, shattering any hope Ada had of getting through to this futureless man...

"Ah... I'm going to kill you..." She said, thinking of a red-haired woman.
