My stepsisters are sexy demons, and I must protect them
Chapter 49: Last day in Ashiya

Chapter 49: Last day in Ashiya

«I’m really, truly sorry your family suddenly decided to move to Estonia. I mean it...» Professor Misaki Yuunami murmurs—her voice is filled with an unexpected sadness.

It’s strange, considering Hakuto was never a top student.

They barely ever spoke.

After class, she called him to her office.

She said it was just to sign some paperwork.

A letter of recommendation from Tsugumi High School—it would help him get into the elite school waiting for him in Estonia.

That country wasn’t chosen at random.

It fits Kagura’s work perfectly—there’s a Seiryu Biotech research lab there.

She asked to be transferred and will lead the place.

Also, Shin said there’s no HESPARC division in Estonia.

In short, it’s a quiet place in Central Europe. Far from Velshekar, far from HESPARC and Kagura can keep supporting the family.

The paperwork takes less than a minute.

Hakuto, sitting in front of her desk, gets up to leave.

But she takes a step forward...

...and hugs him.

~What the...?~

Hakuto stares at her, confused.

That gesture is sudden and strange.

He opens his mouth to ask what’s going on, but then he sees her eyes.

Puffy. Red. Glimmering.

She looks like she’s about to cry, but she holds it in.

«Hakuto...» she murmurs—her cheek resting on his chest.

«You’ve become a man—a beautiful and intelligent man... even if you still need to study more...» she adds with a small smile.

Hakuto doesn’t move.

He’s stunned. His brain freezes.

Her arms press tighter around him.

«P-Professor Yuunami... what does this mean...?»

But she shakes her head.

She wipes her eyes and straightens her back.

«Nothing, Hakuto. Don’t worry. It was just a moment of weakness. Pretend I said nothing,» she says, forcing her voice to sound cold and distant, even if her eyes are still wet.

Professor Yuunami stands on her tiptoes—she’s much shorter than Hakuto.

Then she gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Hakuto freezes, his mind spiraling with confusion.

«Promise me you’ll come visit someday, okay? I’ll be waiting here,» she says, gently caressing his face.

Her fingers brush his skin with a soft, sweet touch.

Misaki Yuunami is a stunning woman, but that touch—so intimate, so out of place—doesn’t trigger the usual reaction in Hakuto.

Not the kind of reaction a teenage boy would have to a beautiful teacher.

«Y-Yes, I promise, professor...» he replies, his voice quiet and shaky.

Then she hands him her business card—the one she gives for private lessons.

Her personal number is on it.

«So if you want to visit me, you’ll know how to find me. Just keep this our little secret. I wouldn’t want your stepsisters or parents to misunderstand,» she adds with a smile.

«Y-Yes, prof. Thank you, prof. I definitely will. All the best... goodbye.»

Hakuto says it mostly out of politeness.

He doesn’t really plan to contact her.

Tnen, he leaves the office.

Just as he closes the door, he thinks he hears her crying.

♡♡♡

«So you decided to leave me behind, huh? You’re a great friend, Hakotto!» Itsu mumbles.

He and Hakuto are sitting on swings, slowly rocking back and forth in a park near Tsugumi High.

«Not even on your last day will you say my name right...? Anyway, you know we don’t have a choice. Now that Velshekar knows where we are, staying would be suicide,»

«Yeah...» Itsu sighs.

He looks at the sky, hands gripping the swing chains tightly.

«Fighting him was probably a bad idea. But I get it. You had no choice.»

«The only way to protect Rika and Yuzu is to destroy anyone who threatens them!» Hakuto says firmly.

Itsu smirks.

«Oh, Hakotto... with your current strength, you can’t even protect yourself, let alone those two...»

He says it with a light tone, but the words hit Hakuto hard.

«I know...» he replies, bitterness creeping into his voice. «That’s why I train every day – to break my limits!»

Hakuto turns toward him.

«Speaking of training... take care of Chantal. If something happens to her, you’ll regret it!»

Only Shin, Kagura, and their children will move to Estonia.

Chantal, for now, has decided to stay in Ashiya.

She wants Itsu to train her in using powerful vampire magic.

After her fight with Rika, Shin told her her combat style is still too human.

It’s holding her back.

She can’t fully access her vampire potential like this.

So staying in Ashiya to refine her skills with Itsu was the natural outcome of Shin’s words.

She’ll join them in Estonia once she’s learned everything she can from him.

As a thank you for everything, Kagura decided to give her the huge villa they’re leaving tomorrow.

«You should tell her to take care of me. I’m the one in danger between the two of us...» Itsu says with a nervous smile.

«I think you’re right,» Hakuto replies, smiling faintly.

The two laugh.

Then Hakuto jumps off the swing.

He holds out his arm, fist first.

«Take care, Itsu. See you.»

Itsu bumps his fist against Hakuto’s.

«Take care, Hakuto.»

«See? That wasn’t so hard...»

♡♡♡

That afternoon, Ana and Esmeralda also left the villa.

Ana had finally reunited with her mother and she broke free from Velshekar’s control.

Now, she wanted to erase the past and start fresh.

Her dream had always been to live a quiet life with her mom, far from everything.

No fans. No cameras.

No one looking for her.

During her career as a model and actress, she secretly saved a good amount of money.

Enough to make that dream come true.

That day finally arrived.

She bought a small but beautiful house by the beach, on the island of São Vicente, in Cape Verde.

«Have fun in Canada. And remember, Hakuto, this isn’t goodbye. It’s just see-you-later. I know your heart will lead you back to me one day,» Ana says, smiling gently.

Those were her last words before boarding the private jet to her new life.

And no—what she said wasn’t a mistake.

Shin had lied about their real destination—

you can never be too careful.

♡♡♡

Even though it’s the middle of the night, Hakuto still can’t fall asleep.

He’s lying on the soft bed in his room.

Rika is sleeping on his left, Yuzu on his right.

All three of them are naked—both because of the unbearable summer heat and because of what happened an hour ago.

A moment of passion, shared to say goodbye to that bed.

The same bed where their bond, as siblings and as lovers, had begun to grow.

Their legs are tangled.

Their skin sticks together, wet with sweat.

Hakuto lies there in silence, eyes open, as memories flood his mind.

The day he and Shin arrived at the house.

Yuzu had welcomed them warmly.

Rika had been cold and distant.

Yuzu’s cooking lessons.

Itsu’s sudden attack.

Chantal moving into the house.

So many moments flashing in front of his eyes like scenes from an old movie.

He’s completely lost in that wave of nostalgia...

When he hears a soft creak at the door.

He turns his head toward it.

The pale light of the moon outlines the silhouette of a woman.

It’s Kagura.

She’s wearing only a light, almost transparent white nightgown.

Underneath it, nothing at all.

The moonlight shines through the fabric, revealing the shape of her body in a way that catches Hakuto off guard.

He stares at her, confused, waiting for her to speak.

«Looks like I’m not the only one who can’t sleep... your father is out like a rock, and it seems my daughters are no different...» Kagura says, stepping slowly into the room.

Her every movement makes her curves sway gently.

With each step, her figure becomes more visible.

By the time she reaches the middle of the room, Hakuto can clearly make out the shape of her nipples, the lines of her hips, and even her most intimate parts through the thin fabric.

It’s a display of beauty and sensuality that’s impossible to ignore.

In seconds, the sheet over Hakuto’s hips rises, forming a tent.

«S-Sorry...» Hakuto murmurs, quickly turning his eyes away in embarrassment.

«I’ve already told you there’s nothing to be ashamed of, Hakuto,» she says, her voice soft and calm.

Then Kagura turns around.

Now it’s her perfect, round butt that catches Hakuto’s full attention.

«It’s pretty hot tonight... how about getting some fresh air?» she suggests.

Hakuto nods without a word.

He slowly gets out of bed, careful not to wake Rika or Yuzu.

His movements are soft, barely making a sound.

He bends down to pick up his boxers and tank top from the floor.

He turns his back to Kagura as he puts them on.

With some clothes on, the obvious erection her body caused is at least partially hidden.

She gestures for him to follow her and he does.

They walk down the long hallway.

Kagura leads the way, her hips swaying with a slow, mesmerizing rhythm.

Hakuto follows, his eyes drawn to every step she takes.

They climb a short set of stairs and reach a wide terrace.

It’s slightly raised above the rest of the villa.

From there, they can see the garden.

A lush, quiet place full of blooming flowers that Kagura cares for personally.

No one else is allowed in.

She keeps it that way to protect it from turning into a battleground like the rest of the property.

Kagura sits down on the floor, her back resting against the wall.

She pats the space beside her, inviting Hakuto to join her.

A cool breeze brushes against his sweaty skin.

The night air, mixed with the scent of flowers glowing under the moonlight, fills him with an unexpected sense of calm.

«Let me pamper you a little, okay?» Kagura whispers, her voice soft and warm.

Hakuto nods.

She gently signals him to lie down, resting his head on her lap.

And he does.

«I’m really happy you’re here with us...» she says, slowly running her nails through his hair.

Hakuto’s body shivers.

His breathing is faint.

The sweat from his forehead trickles down onto her thighs.

«...and so are my beloved daughters. Seeing the three of you tonight, hugging like a real family... seeing that peace on their faces... it gave me a kind of joy I never imagined I’d feel. Rika and Yuzu have suffered so much, and I was afraid. Because of what they are, I feared they’d live a life of fear and loneliness...»

Kagura keeps caressing him.

Now her hand moves along his back, her nails gently scratching his skin.

The sensation makes Hakuto tremble again.

He’s silent, completely relaxed... but also vulnerable.

«...it’s only thanks to you that I can now believe in a future filled with love and happiness for them.

And it’s not just because you’re here to protect them.

It’s something more.

It’s the love you’ve managed to give them...» she says—her voice growing warmer, more intense.

Her hand slides from his back to his side—her nails brushing his skin.

A shiver runs through Hakuto.

He gets goosebumps.

And slowly, the feeling building inside him isn’t just peace anymore.

Her hand moves even lower.

Now she’s touching his abs, right above the waistband of his boxers.

Hakuto stops breathing.

His heart pounds inside his chest.

«...let me thank you for what you’re doing for them in the way only a succubus knows how...»
