Vergil descended the last steps with the weight of someone who had just defeated a top-level boss—but the boss was just a completely drunk demon who defied any existing moral boundaries.
He shrugged, cracked his neck, and muttered:
"That drunk woman is more trouble than a god trying to kill me…"
When he reached the main hall, he noticed an unusual movement.
Raphaeline was there, with that wifely smile that already knew she was up to something.
Next to her was Ada, clinging to her, but still with that slight post-traumatic shyness from the Dionysus incident.
Katharina and Roxanne were sitting on the sofa, pretending to watch TV, but clearly listening to everything.
Viviane was in the kitchen, with outstretched wings and an oversized t-shirt, preparing a cake with an almost spiritual focus.
Raphaeline saw Vergil and flashed that radiant smile—the typical smile of someone who hadn't (yet) seen the antics Sapphire had pulled.
"Love!"
