My Stepmother Is an Ex-Demon Queen-Chapter 25 - 26 – “I Said Yes, But Accidentally Proposed to All of Them at Once”
1. Flashback: The Five-Second Mistake That Started It All
Let’s rewind five seconds.
The marriage demon is floating in the air, wielding a flaming hourglass.
All the girls are looking at me like I’m the last rare gacha drop on Earth.
Everyone’s shouting:
"Pick me!"
"Kazuki, I love you!"
"Sign the soul contract now!"
"If you choose her, I’ll set your toothbrush on fire!"
And me?
I panicked.
I raised my hands and screamed—
"FINE! YES! I’LL MARRY YOU!"
...
All five of them gasped.
Lilith blinked. "Wait... which one of us are you saying yes to?"
I froze.
They all froze.
The demon whispered: "Oh no."
2. The Proposal Heard Around the Multiverse
Magical lights exploded. Trumpets blared. The ghost harpist started playing the wedding march in double time.
A glowing banner appeared in the sky:
"KAZUKI HAS PROPOSED!"
Only one problem:
I didn’t say who.
Ayaka hugged me. "He meant me!"
Sayuri cracked her knuckles. "Like hell he did."
Mirelle summoned a glacier behind her. "You will not out-romance me."
Luna lit up like a love goddess. "We could share?"
Lilith: "Excellent. A five-way engagement pact. How delightfully unethical."
Me: "THAT’S NOT LEGALLY BINDING—WAIT, IS IT?!"
The demon marriage enforcer scribbled in a flaming notepad.
"It is now."
3. The Royal Panic
Back in the castle throne room, chaos broke out.
King: "He proposed to all of them?!"
Queen: "How do we even plan a multi-bride royal wedding?!"
Chancellor: "Technically this unifies five kingdoms."
Court Mage: "He’s either a genius or a sex-crazed idiot."
The public? Went wild.
#TeamSayuri trended in the capital.
#FrozenFiancé was the number one topic in the Ice Queendom.
Someone even started selling "Kazuki’s Chaos Ring" replicas.
4. The Girls Plan Their Own Weddings Anyway
Despite me begging for clarity, each girl decided to prep her own wedding:
Ayaka built a fireworks altar.
Sayuri started training doves to carry swords.
Luna grew a moonflower wedding dress that glowed in the dark.
Lilith filed an official "Demonic Matrimony Rights" petition.
Mirelle summoned an entire ballroom out of enchanted frost.
Airi appeared with her clipboard. "Congrats! You’re now the star of the first ever multi-fiancée wedding reality show!"
Me: "THIS ISN’T LOVE—THIS IS A PRANK FROM THE GODS!"
The god of chaos sneezed in the distance. Coincidence?
5. Kazuki’s Breakdown (And Accidental Heartfelt Moment)
I escaped to the castle rooftop and screamed into the wind.
"This isn’t what I wanted," I muttered.
"I wanted a normal life. Maybe one crush. A goofy date. Not five magical soul-bond contracts and an exploding tuxedo."
Behind me, someone sat down.
It was Luna.
Quiet. Kind. Glowing faintly under the moonlight.
"You care too much," she said gently.
"Is that bad?"
She shook her head. "No. It’s why we fell for you."
And just like that...
I almost kissed her.
But then—
6. Plot Twist: A Sixth Girl Arrives
Lightning struck the tower.
Out of the smoke stepped a girl in a black wedding dress, veil down, carrying a demonic chainsaw-bouquet hybrid.
Airi gasped. "She wasn’t in the engagement registry!"
The new girl lifted her veil.
Sharp red eyes. Dark hair. Smug smile.
"I’m your original fiancée from the underworld, Kazuki. Surprise."
Me: "I’M SORRY, WHAT?!"
"I was cursed away when you were five. Now I’m back. And I’m claiming what’s mine."
Ayaka: "OH NO SHE DIDN’T—"
Sayuri: "Who invited Chainsaw-chan?!"
Luna: "This... complicates things."
Mirelle: "Kill her with ice?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Lilith: "Let her join. More chaos. I’m into it."
