«Pss... Hakuto... wake up, Hakuto...» Yuzu whispers softly.
Yuzu shakes his shoulder gently.
It's the middle of the night.
He'd slept alone on the big bed until last night; now Rika and Yuzu are beside him.
After what happened with Itzu, the three of them understood one thing clearly—separate rooms were no longer an option. It was too dangerous. To Hakuto, sharing a bed with them is a different kind of danger.
He lies on his back in only shorts, with a stepsister on each side. Rika lies at the edge of the bed with her back to him, wrapped in oversized pajamas that cover her completely. Normally, she sleeps in lingerie—or nothing when it's really hot. But tonight, she made her opinion clear: 'I'd rather boil to death than sleep half-naked in the same bed as Hakuto!'
Yuzu, on the other hand, faces him, lying on her side in the underwear Rika insisted she wear—something Yuzu would've skipped. Twice tonight Hakuto had to push her off, and both times she clung to him like a body pillow.
«Yuzu... what do you want...?» Hakuto mumbles, half asleep.
«I have something really, really important to tell you. It's about Rika.»
Her tone is far too serious for one of her usual jokes, and that gets his attention.
«This better be important… or I swear I'm going back to sleep.»
«It is! I'm serious!»
«Alright, go on...»
Hakuto sighs. Knowing Yuzu, it's probably nonsense—but now he's awake.
«What happened at the bikini store—That old pervert who tried to molest Rika—wasn't just bad luck.»
«I figured. Succubi have the power to charm men—bend them to their will.»
«That's how it's supposed to work. But you know Rika—she'd never use that power on purpose.»
Hakuto frowns.
«Now that you mention it... yeah, it is weird...»
«Succubi are demons who wield sex and seduction as weapons. They're born to tempt without shame, using their bodies to get what they want—or just for fun. But Rika is the exact opposite of what a succubus is supposed to be.»
«Yuzu... it's three in the morning. Don't tell me stuff I already know. Just get to the point,» Hakuto mutters, struggling to keep his eyes open.
«How was I supposed to know you already knew that?! You could've stopped me instead of letting me go on like an idiot!» Yuzu huffs.
Then her voice drops.
«Anyway. That wasn't just a one-time thing. Things like that happen nearly every time we go out. Once, even at school, a teacher grabbed her—squeezed her boobs—and pressed his dick against her ass. Rika can't control her powers.»
«So what exactly am I supposed to do about that?»
Yuzu suddenly leans in closer. They're face to face now—her breasts, barely contained by a black bra, make it even harder for him to focus. But more than that, her expression is serious—more serious than he's ever seen.
«Hakuto. You have to...»
He swallows nervously.
A beat of silence. Then...
«...you have to take Rika's virginity.»
«I have to... WHAT?!»
Hakuto is about to snap at her—to tell her to roll over and go back to sleep. But the determination in his stepsister's eyes makes him hesitate.
Normally, Yuzu would've said something like that with her usual mischievous, pervy grin—but right now, there's no trace of it in her eyes.
«N-No way… you can't be serious!»
«I've never been more serious. Rika's powers are going crazy because she's still a virgin. Succubi usually awaken around thirteen, but by then, most of them don't even remember what virginity means. Not Rika. She's been in the human world too long. She thinks virginity is sacred—that she has to wait for the right person. Believe me, I've tried to change her mind. Totally hopeless. That's why you have to do it. You have to make her fall for you—and take her virginity. It's the only way she'll control her powers!»
«Honestly, I think slaying the Demon God, Rakvaron, would be easier than making Rika fall for me...»
«Heh… I thought you'd say something like: 'I could never sleep with my stepsister!' But instead, the first thing you said was, 'Crap, she's way too hard to seduce'. So you're not the pure-hearted saint you pretend to be!» Yuzu smirks.
«D-Don't twist my words! I'd only do it to protect her! I don't want her getting assaulted by creeps every time we go outside! We've got enough problems with Itzu already—don't need more! Besides, why don't you have these problems?! Don't tell me—»
«That I have more sex than a porn star?» Yuzu interrupts. «Nope, sadly not. I don't need it. Just like Rika doesn't need to drink blood to survive. We're both hybrids—part vampire, part succubus. But in Rika, the succubus side dominates. In me, it's the vampire side. And let's be real—with boobs like these, who needs magic to seduce anyone?»
«Honestly, if your succubus side were dominant... you'd probably be the most dangerous one of them all.»
«Right? I think so too!» Yuzu beams, completely missing that Hakuto hadn't meant it as a compliment. «Let the operation begin—Taking Rika's virginity!»
