"One week?!" he shouted in shock.
"What do you mean, one week?!" Vergil asked... He was between life and death, clearly feeling the guillotine scraping his throat just thinking about the scolding he would receive...
"Hey, you little shit, I'm going to flay you alive, peel off your skin, and hang it on the line! You ungrateful son of a bitch, I raise you and you disappear for a week?! Get over here!!!"
He could clearly see the woman with white hair and blue eyes yelling while holding a broom or something that could hurt a lot...
"I hope that scythe... Damn, the scythe!" he internally shouted, remembering that the garage had old things from his father, especially when he was a gardener!
"P-please tell me this is a joke, okay?" Vergil asked, looking at Katharina and Ada, almost crying, his face genuinely sad...
Vergil... was screwed...
Katharina looked at him with a crooked, almost broken smile, "Well... it's not easy to heal wounds made with sacred energy... You were supposed to be dead, but the guy was just messing with you..." Katharina murmured, "But don't worry! Novah went personally and put your mother in a trance while I slept comfortably naked, hugging your body!" She said...
Vergil blinked several times, trying to process what he had just heard.
"N-naked?" He repeated, his gaze falling involuntarily on Katharina's voluptuous body, which, even in the midst of his panic, he couldn't help but imagine without those provocative clothes.
Katharina noticed Vergil's lecherous look and laughed again, this time with a hint of malice. "Yes, naked. But don't worry, I didn't do anything you wouldn't have liked." She said, sounding quite... sexy...
"Did she do something to me? I don't remember! Tell me she didn't! Hey!!" Vergil's thoughts raced as Ada looked at the situation with a poker face...
"She didn't do any of those perverted things you're thinking. She just used demonic energy to accelerate your healing." Ada said, cutting through his thoughts like a sharp blade...
"Ruining the fun." Katharina muttered angrily.
"And why was she naked?" Vergil asked... well, this time he was genuinely innocent, right?
"Stop being an idiot. She wants to possess your body at this moment, you don't even know how much we've heard about you from her. That damn Yandere." Ada retorted almost like an attack...
"The problem is not mine if you don't know how to perfect love properly!" Katharina shot back with a smile, provoking her...
"I'm losing my patience..." Ada thought.
Vergil was beyond shocked, his brain trying to process all the information at once.
"Hey, what do you mean my mother in a trance?" He asked Katharina... "It's a demonic magic, nothing much," she said, making it really seem like nothing had happened...
"We just induced memories that you went on a trip," Katharina commented, turning to Ada...
"Let me drive... please," she said, making a sad kitten face, for a moment, two cat ears appeared on her head and her eyes became immensely huge, but... "Stop joking, obviously not." Ada replied.
"What the hell are you still talking about? What the hell is this!" Vergil questioned, they had been at it for a while and he simply didn't understand!!
The two exchanged strange smiles...
"Let's see if he has good taste?" They asked together, for some reason this time Ada joined in...
"Okay, let's go!" They said together, as if they were... Best friends... something that...
"Women are strange! They were about to kill each other less than an hour ago! And now they're walking together as if they're 'Best Friends'..." Definitely, Vergil didn't understand women...
"Are you going to stand there? Come on!" Katharina called out to him with a shout... They were already at the door...
Vergil sighed and walked over to them, descending the stairs of the small building where Ada lived, and they went down to a sort of garage at the back of the place...
Ada lifted the metal door, it was a dark and gloomy place, filled with old tools and stacked boxes. The lighting was poor, and the smell of motor oil mixed with dust was predominant.
The two women stopped in front of a vehicle covered by a tarp, exchanging glances that made Vergil shiver.
"Let's see if you're worthy," Ada said, with a smile that seemed to be a mix of challenge and curiosity.
Katharina, with her usual mischievous grin, pulled off the tarp, revealing a classic sports car, an old coupe painted in glossy black with red accents.
'A Porsche-!!!'
The sight was stunning, and even Vergil, with his mind racing in a thousand directions, couldn't help but admire the vehicle.
"Is it yours?" he asked, looking at Ada.
She nodded in confirmation. "Someone bet a race in the desert and got their ass kicked, so she lost the keys." She said, making Katharina's face contort completely!
"S-Slut!" She shouted, "HM? It's the truth, that red-haired woman was terrible at racing! My old Skyline beat her off the line," Ada said, smiling, "Too bad it's in the shop," Ada said, shrugging...
'My baby! I need it back!!' Katharina screamed internally.
"Do demons drive cars?" Vergil asked, genuinely curious... "Well, we need to get around, and we can't run everywhere, right?" Ada said as if it were obvious... and, well, it was obvious.
"Oh, right..." Vergil murmured...
"Well, let's go." Ada said, looking at Vergil with a smile, "Let's see if you're a man of culture." She said, smiling and tossing a keychain with a Blue Slime keychain...
Vergil blinked as he took the key, still trying to understand what was happening. "You... want me to drive?"
"Yes," Katharina replied, opening the dusty car door... "Damn... we'll stop by a car wash on the way... You messed up my car," Katharina said, watching the dust swirl around.
She lowered the seat and went to the back, which was quite cramped for a woman like her... in terms of body...
"The car is mine, I do what I want with it." Ada said, sitting in the seat, "Tsk, bitch."
Vergil looked at the two of them... "Hurry up, you slowpoke! We need to go to the car wash!" Katharina said, "She meant we need to pick up Roxanne." Ada translated, and he couldn't help but stare at the two for a few more seconds before sighing...
"And here we go, right?" He couldn't waste much time... And so he finally sat in the driver's seat...
"Let's use the contract to find her, so it's entirely up to you. We can't sense where she is, only you can." Ada commented, shrugging, "Yes, got it, I'm the GPS," Vergil said, turning the key to start the car...
The engine roared to life, its power resonating almost like a living thing.
Vergil felt the vibration through the steering wheel, and for a brief moment, he forgot all the confusion.
"So... Let's find Roxanne," Vergil said, almost resigned but with a new determination forming inside him.
"I think you should prepare yourself," Ada commented casually, watching the streets ahead. "Roxanne isn't exactly easy to deal with. She... has a somewhat... strange personality."
"Oh, yes. She'll love seeing you, Vergil. I'm sure you two will get along very well." There was something in her tone that didn't give him much confidence.
"Strange?" Vergil repeated, already starting to feel the stress rise again.
He didn't know what to expect, but something told him that this mission was about to get a lot more complicated.
With one last sigh, he put the car in motion, leaving the quiet streets and merging onto the main road. "Alright, let's go. You two keep quiet and let the GPS handle the job."
The engine roared louder as he accelerated and left the garage, and soon, the car sped through the streets...
...
"There! There! There! I love killing demons!" The sound of a male voice's singing echoed in an empty room...
The sounds of a chair could also be heard, its legs moving back and forth as someone tried—or seemed to try—to get out of it...
"I can't believe I found such a beautiful demon like you," he said, turning to the woman while running a hand over his face.
A blonde woman was strapped to the chair, her eyes flashing with fury as the man in front of her gazed at her with a deranged smile.
The chains binding her to the chair were adorned with sacred runes, designed to suppress her demonic powers, yet she maintained a defiant look.
"Do you think you'll get out of this alive?" she growled, her voice dripping with venom. "I'll skin you alive with my own hands, you damned human."
The man just laughed, ignoring the threat. He continued to stroke Roxanne's face, his touch laden with a sickening contempt. "You're so full of energy... it's almost a shame I have to end you. But it's my job, and I'm very good at it."
He stepped back slightly, revealing a sharp blade that reflected the scant light in the dim environment. She hated the feeling of helplessness the chains brought, but her mind was already working on a plan to escape.
"You have no idea what you're about to unleash, human. When I get out of here, I'll make sure you never sing that stupid little song of yours again." She spat the words, her claws itching to emerge but being held back by the sacred power that bound her.
The man tilted his head to the side, observing her as if analyzing a strange piece of art. "Maybe. But until then, I'll have a little fun. After all, demons are like toys, aren't they? Toys that break so easily..."
Before she could say anything...
"Enough, Jason," another man's voice came through, "Look at you... You got beaten by a demon and now you want to give orders to the one doing the real work..." He mocked.
"As far as I know, I'm the leader here. Has she given her name and surname yet?"
"She's quite the feisty one," Jason said, staring at the woman who wasn't looking directly at him... Her body... was in a deplorable state.
"Then keep torturing her until she talks," the other man said, and left the room...
"You heard him... Let's play a bit more... Maybe I'll remove your nails now." He said, smiling as he picked up a pair of pliers.
'Damn... I did my nails a week ago...'
