Vergil felt a mix of complicated emotions regarding the simple gesture his mother was making by holding on…
Honestly, he had expected to be beaten with brooms, wooden spoons, and flying frying pans, or targeted by guided sandals that hit every throw, yet here he was, unhard…
He was almost offering to take a beating… However, the woman's calculating gaze hit him, sending a shiver down his spine as she stared deeply at him, her expression just frustration.
Vergil glanced sideways at his wives, who seed to calmly wait for whatever he was going to co up with for his mother…
'What the hell... They can handle this, right?' He thought, 'Well, if I fall, they will fall with .'
'This should work…' he thought, before finally breaking the silence with a deep breath, Vergil began to speak. "Well, Mom, the truth is... we t online."
Felicia, his mother, raised an eyebrow, obviously expecting more explanation. "Online? And how exactly did that happen?" Her tone was tinged with skepticism.
Vergil felt a wave of nervousness.
'This is going to be difficult.' But before he could continue, Katharina, with her usual self-assured manner, jumped in, clearly determined to help him maintain the story, though she was genuinely amused by his reactions, after all, she would love to see her handso husband's reactions.
"Yes, yes!" Katharina said, with her Russian accent that Vergil had never heard in all the ti he had been with her. She stepped forward, as if completely at ease with the situation. "We all played the sa online ga. It was an MMORPG, you know, those where people et and form groups. And that's how we t your son."
Felicia blinked a few tis, trying to absorb what Katharina had just said. "You're telling that you... played video gas together? A Barbie-level princess like you plays video gas?"
"Exactly!" Ada, the Asian-looking woman, said with a sweet smile, but her hands were gesticulating exaggeratedly, as if she were acting in a play. "That's how it all started. I'm from a guild in Taiwan, and Vergil and I beca friends during several Raid missions. He was very skilled with swords." She acted it out, just like Katharina, even using terms like "Guild" and "Raid" to confuse the woman.
Felicia looked at Vergil with an expression that mixed surprise and... doubt. "Swords? But you never liked video gas, Vergil."
He shifted on the sofa, struggling to maintain composure. "It's true, Mom. I started playing more while I was in college. It helps relax, and I... well, I ended up eting these three." He scratched his head…
'How could I not like video gas? You banned from playing GTA for being too violent, you old hag!' Vergil roared internally.
Roxanne, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward with a confident smile. "I'm from Europe, more specifically France," she said, with her European accent deliberately enhanced. "I was the strategist of our group. I believe it was my genius that brought us all together. Especially Vergil. He needed my help a lot." She tried to justify by giving more chances for his story.
"And then," added Katharina, "after many virtual adventures together, we decided to et in real life! After all, why not? The internet connects the world, doesn't it? It was natural that we wanted to et in person." She winked at Vergil conspiratorially, as if enjoying playing with the absurd story.
Felicia crossed her arms, clearly trying to process the flood of information. "So, you three played video gas with my son. You're from different parts of the world, and then decided to... fly here and et him in person?"
"That's right, mother-in-law!!" said Katharina, with exaggerated joy that, to Vergil, seed forced but at the sa ti skillfully theatrical.
Felicia narrowed her eyes, observing the three won closely, as if searching for any cracks in the story. "And when did this start?"
Ada gave a light laugh, sliding her fingers through her hair as she spoke. "Oh, it's been a few months, almost a year. It was very natural. We chatted online, decided to visit Vergil's country, and here we are. All very simple and straightforward, I even study engineering with him."
"Simple and straightforward?" Felicia looked from Vergil to the three won, her expression alternating between bewildernt and disbelief. "You just decided to co here to... visit him? Isn't it a bit strange, considering you just t these won?"
"Well, Mom..." Vergil scratched his neck, trying to seem as casual as possible. "You know how it is. Sotis you et people online and end up forming a friendship. They wanted to travel, and... I thought it would be a good opportunity for us to et in person. There's nothing strange about it."
Roxanne smiled with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "Exactly, Vergil. And that's not all! He is incredibly charismatic, even online. It was impossible not to like him right away."
Katharina nodded, continuing to elaborate on the lie with an almost theatrical expression. "Oh, yes! Vergil is a real hero in the ga. He always saved us from the worst situations."
Felicia looked directly at her son. "You? A hero in a video ga? I find that hard to believe."
'Am I really that bad at everything? Woman! At least complint on sothing! I'm feeling terrible here!' Vergil nearly shouted, seeing how his mother didn't take him seriously…
Vergil felt his face heat up. "It's true, Mom. I... well, I was good at the ga. But it's just a hobby, okay?"
Felicia sighed, clearly not fully convinced, but continued to watch the three won closely.
At this mont, Roxanne decided to intervene once again, clearly enjoying the role they were playing. "And we didn't want to miss the opportunity to et soone so special in person. It's not every day you find a man like that on the internet, right?"
Ada nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, he's one of the good ones. And, well... we are demonic, I an, we have our own... lifestyles," Ada quickly corrected herself, though her hesitation went unnoticed by Felicia. "That's why we're all so connected to him.
And that's why we decided to do this crazy trip together."
Vergil nearly coughed when he heard the word "demonic," but quickly masked his astonishnt with a fake cough, while Felicia looked at Ada with confusion.
"I an, dynamic!" Ada quickly corrected herself with a nervous chuckle. "Dynamic lifestyles, of course."
Felicia still seed skeptical, but the story was so absurdly crafted that she began shaking her head, as if trying to grasp the madness of it all.
"You are a... unique group, I admit," Felicia said slowly. "But then, you ca from so far just to visit Vergil? And what do you plan to do now? Keep playing video gas together or sothing? And if you only ca here for that, why are you saying you're his wives?"
Katharina glanced at Vergil and quickly jumped back into the role. "Well, that depends on Vergil, doesn't it? I an, going to Las Vegas and getting married wouldn't be so bad," she gave a playful smile and turned to him. "You don't mind if we stay a bit longer, do you? And who knows...
continue with our adventures." She said, smiling devilishly, and Felicia almost coughed at the malice in "our adventures."
'This kid… the look of these won, they seem like they're going to consu him! What are they? Crazy demons? By Buddha, what a situation…' Felicia thought, little did she know that, well…
'???' For a brief mont, everyone felt they were being watched.
Vergil felt his mother's gaze piercing his soul, as if she was trying to decipher whether all this was an elaborate ruse. For a brief mont, he thought she was going to question them further... until, to his surprise, Felicia burst into laughter.
"That sounds so absurd that maybe it's true." She shook her head again, clearly still confused by it all. "Three won from different parts of the world decide to co here and et my son, the 'hero of an online ga.' Honestly, that sounds like sothing that could only happen to you, Vergil."
Vergil, relieved, let out a timid smile. "I also thought it was strange at first, Mom, but... sohow, it worked out."
Roxanne smiled affectedly, tossing her hair back. "Well, sotis the most absurd things are the most fun. Isn't that what they say?"
Felicia finally relaxed, though there was still a hint of suspicion in her eyes. "I don't know what to say. It still seems... unusual, to say the least. But if you're happy and it makes sense to you, who am I to judge?"
Vergil sighed with relief internally, feeling that, sohow, the absurd lie had passed. For now.
Katharina, Ada, and Roxanne exchanged knowing glances, clearly satisfied with how the situation was unfolding. They knew they had played their parts well, but how well their performances were received was another story.
Felicia looked at the three with a mix of curiosity and acceptance. "Well... I suppose I should get to know you better, right? After all, you three ca from so far."
Roxanne nodded with a graceful smile. "It would be an honor, Mrs. Felicia. I'm sure we'll get along very well."
Katharina gave a cheeky wink. "We promise not to cause too many problems... at least not more than we already have."
Felicia sighed again, clearly accepting the madness of the situation. "Alright, Vergil. I'll trust you... for now."
Vergil finally relaxed, feeling as if he had narrowly escaped disaster.
His three wives were struggling not to laugh, but they hid it as best as they could, maintaining the theatrical seriousness they had adopted from the start.
Felicia stood up, clearly still processing everything she had heard, and walked toward the door. "I'm going shopping. Does anyone want anything?"
"Sweet treats," Vergil said with a smile. "And coffee," he added.
"Alright…" Felicia said as she left.
The three exchanged a quick glance, bursting into laughter. Vergil just shook his head, trying to hide his growing relief. They had managed to get away with it... for now.
"What the hell was that, fufufufufu!" Ada laughed. "Who were those three? HAHAHAHA They didn't even look like us!" Roxanne said, almost falling over from laughter. "Her accent, HAHAHAHAHAHA" Katharina laughed, pointing at Roxanne. "That's KAKAKAKA" They laughed while Vergil remained still, just watching...
'This is going to be a loooong life…'
