Lady and Trish left not soon after, saying that they had some jobs to do. After a few hours of more explanation on his little half-siblings, he decided to ask if Ayaka know why her mom want to...you know, procreate with their father?

And on that note, he still couldn't decide if fighting to the death is considered wooing someone, at least not to him. He still couldn't grasp how his dad's mind work. So he asked Ayaka if she knew anything about that. She hesitated for a while before she sighed and continue to answer his question.

"About that...I'm afraid our father is a victim of rape. Multiple times too."
Rape, that guy? "Ayaka, I don't know if you noticed it, but no way our father can be raped that easily, he's smarter than that." Well, unless his wife is powerful and smarter than Vergil.

"And you also must know that our father is one of the most socially awkward people you could find, aside from my country's true ruler. And he also apparently is very easily manipulated when you know how his inner thought work, my mom told me that. Plus, all the rape is done through very subtle means."

Oh, so there's some aspect he excels more than his deadbeat father. "No, I know him for what? 5 minutes? 10 minute? And we spent all that time fighting each other. And no, V is just part of him, so he is not counted, Dante."

"Ah. Father did tell us that he barely knew you, as a son."

"Yeah... it does sound like Vergil I knew," Dante says his two cents, and goes back to stuffing his mouth with pizza.

"Indeed. And since our father isn't very knowledgeable about the matter of heart and love...so yes. But don't worry though, his wives usually make sure he is comfortable enough with them when they were doing it." Excluding few others that let lust overtake themselves and do it as soon Father let down his guard. Ah, poor Father, socially awkward and having zero sense of romance. "Yours probably the same as the rest of us," Ayaka said to him.

If that is the case, why-

"No. Nero's conception is more complicated than that, though it's more or less the same." Dante's voice interrupted his musing. Both he and Ayaka turned their head toward Dante. "I asked Vergil who's the lucky lady during our unpaid job/vacation at the Underworld. I dunno if the star is aligned that day or what, but he actually told me!"

"And?" He said. Finally! He would-

"Vergil said that he is your mother."

What? Did he mishear that? Yeah, definitely misheard that. No way is Vergil, which is a male, his mother. He is probably just too tired. Yep, definitely tired.

He fainted.

"Ah, he fainted," Ayaka said when seeing the oldest of her siblings, chronologically, fall to the floor like a sack of potatoes.

"You don't seem that surprised, hearing my absurd story." Uncle Dante said after glancing at the fainted Nero on the floor.

"I had my suspicion. Well, it's more like we had our suspicion, me and my half-siblings."

"How so?"

Blushing, she simply said, "Mother said Father is too knowledgeable about a woman's body. Like he is one for quite a sometimes." Quietly, she added, "Whenever Mother and Father got together, Ayato and I had to get out of the house just to sleep."

"Ah, your mother a screamer in the bedroom then? Wait Ayaka, I'm just jokin-"

"Judgement Cut: Cryo!"

'Yep, totally deserved that.' A block of ice thought to himself.
