«Oh, almost forgot. I got married. Again.»
It's dinner time when Hakuto Tendo hears those words from his dad—Shin—spoken so casually he nearly falls out of his chair.He's not even sure if he should be mad, shocked… or just exhausted. The man's had more wives than birthday candles.
Hakuto is a sixteen-year-old boy with brown hair and eyes of the same color—fairly ordinary, but still good-looking. His dad looks like a worn-out version of him thirty years later—grizzled hair, scruffy beard, and an unhealthy addiction to cigarettes.
For as long as he can remember, Hakuto has never seen his dad without a cigarette in his mouth. Their shoebox apartment, deep in the crumbling alleys of Sanya, has walls so smoke-stained they've turned puke yellow. Once upon a time, they were white.
«W-WHAT?!»
«Why so surprised? Not happy your old man's found love again? Or are you just shocked I can still flirt at my age?»
«I-It's not that, it's… WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO TELL ME?!»
«But i just did it!»
Shin's voice is a blend of calm and amusement, with a permanent smirk etched across his face.
Hakuto sighs. «So, what makes this one special? Compared to your endless list of ex-wives, I mean.»
«Glad you asked!» Shin lifts his chin, eyes gleaming. «She's the CEO of a big pharma company—Seiryu Biotech. This time, your old man really hit the jackpot! Tomorrow we move into her house. Or, well, her ultra-luxurious mansion!»
This time, Hakuto actually falls off his chair. Marriage and a sudden move—all in one breath? Way too much. Sure, ditching their smoky shoebox for a mansion sounds great… but he's gonna need a second to process.
«And I haven't told you the best part yet!» Shin's smile widens—almost devilish. My lovely, filthy-rich wife—Kagura Narkhalis—has two cute daughters!»
«And...?»
«You know what every teen dreams of?»
«No, and I really don't wanna know.»
«Doing dirty things with your two stepsisters! Don't tell me the idea of living with two gorgeous girls doesn't excite you, even a little! Being woken up by sexy stepsisters—that must be paradise!» Shin shakes his head, disappointed.
«Dad… you seriously sound like a perv.»

The next morning...
«Can you explain how the hell you pulled this off?!»
Hakuto throws the question at his dad as they walk down a cobblestone path leading from the massive gate to a gigantic villa in Ashiya, one of Hyogo Prefecture's richest neighborhoods. The place doesn't even look like a garden—it's more like a private park, full of fountains and Greek statues.
Hakuto's doubts are 100% valid. After losing his last job, Shin barely scraped by doing manual labor for a tiny local company—and let's be real, that paycheck was anything but impressive.So how the hell did his dad not only meet, but marry a woman who lives here?
Hakuto just can't make sense of it.
«What can I say... guess your old man still has bedroom skills like a guy in his twenties.»
«I seriously doubt that's enough to impress a woman who could buy your whole company—employees included—and make you all mow her lawn.»
It takes them almost five minutes to reach the front door of the massive white villa, each hauling two heavy suitcases behind.
«Need help ringing the doorbell, or can you handle that on your own?» Shin teases.
«I do know how to ring a doorbell, thanks…»
But it's not ignorance holding him back—it's the crushing embarrassment. Bright red face, cheap clothes, dragging bags like a broke tourist… He feels like a homeless guy begging to crash for the night.
Still, he pulls himself together and reaches for the intercom. But just as his finger hovers over the button, the giant black-wood door swings open by itself. Well, not by itself—someone opened it from inside.
A girl leans casually against the doorframe, and Hakuto's eyes go wide.
She's gorgeous. Long jet-black hair, sparkling emerald eyes, and a pose so chill it looks like it's straight out of a fashion shoot.
But it's not just her beauty that leaves Hakuto speechless.
They say black makes you look slimmer—but that clearly doesn't work here. Under her black crop top—cut just above the belly—two massive boobs push out like basketballs stuffed into a tiny piece of fabric. Totally out of proportion with her slim frame.
Shin's experienced eye immediately catches the outline of her nipples through the fabric—clear sign she's not wearing a bra.
As if that wasn't enough to make Hakuto blush… she's also wearing nothing but red lace panties.
~Okay, sure… it's not that weird to hang around in your underwear at home—but to open the door like that to total strangers?!~ Hakuto thinks, panicking.
«You must be Hakuto and Shin Tendo, right? I'm Yuzu Narkhalis. I'm fifteen. So nice to meet you!»
She beams at them with the brightest, most cheerful smile Hakuto's ever seen.
«N-Nice to meet you…» Hakuto stammers, torn between the awkwardness of meeting his new family and the total embarrassment of his stepsister's outfit.
«Pleasure's all mine, Yuzu. We finally meet. Your mom told me a lot about you and your sister,» Shin says, flicking his cigarette into the ashtray by the door. «Good genes don't lie—your beauty's definitely from your mother.»
«Aww, such a flatterer… you're gonna make me blush,» Yuzu giggles.
«What are you two waiting for? Come on in! This is your home now too! We're gonna be one big, happy family… I'm so excited!»
No need for a second invite. The two men step inside, greeted by a massive living room packed with artwork—some of it actually famous, mostly paintings and little sculptures.
But it's a different kind of masterpiece that grabs their attention: Yuzu's ass—swaying in front of them with a rhythm almost hypnotic.
Shin gives Hakuto a firm pat on the shoulder. «Man, if only I were your age…»
«Dad…!»
«I'm just gonna run to my room and throw something on. You can wait in the kitchen—my big sis Rika should be there.»
With those quick words, Yuzu vanishes into the absurdly huge living room. The kitchen's way at the other end—so far from the entrance it feels like walking a hundred meters just to reach it.
At the sink, a girl stands with her back turned, washing a big cup.
She's got bright blonde bobbed hair and wears a long white robe—so sheer her black underwear shows right through, like she's not wearing anything else.
That has to be Rika—Yuzu's older sister.
She's a bit taller, and under the robe, her fuller butt pops out more than Yuzu's, especially with that black thong. Still, her frame's just as slim and graceful.
«Like mother, like daughters,» Shin comments dryly, setting the bags down.
Hakuto does the same—after jabbing his dad in the arm, like: 'Shut up already!'
The girl turns around abruptly—and now it's possible to clearly see through the robe even her breasts. They're smaller than her sister's, covered by a matching black bra. Her face is nearly identical to Yuzu's, except for her sky-blue eyes… and the not-so-welcoming look she gives them.
«I-I'm Hakuto Tendo, and this is my dad—Shin Tendo. You must be Rika Narkhalis, right? Nice to meet you,» he says, forcing the politest tone and friendliest smile he can muster.
She looks them over from head to toe, clearly unimpressed. «Why ask if you already know?»
Hakuto blushes so hard he could pass for a tomato. Shin, meanwhile, just grins like a jerk.
«Your mom said you've got quite the attitude, but I didn't expect you to be this grumpy. Says it's 'cause you never get laid… Who knows? Maybe my boy here can put a smile on that face,» Shin says, slapping Hakuto's shoulder.
The bright red coloring Hakuto's face now looks pale and lifeless compared to Rika's.
«H-HOW DARE YOU?!» Rika snaps.
«Anyway… where's my lovely new wife? Haven't seen her around.»
«My mom's working… unlike you!»
~Okay, my dad's no manners champion, but this is a total pain.…~
«I really wonder what insane reason made Mom bring home two freeloaders… We were doing just fine without you!»
~Yeah… I'm wondering that too.…~
«Don't be so mean, sis! They're super nice—I could tell right away. And you know my sixth sense never fails!» Yuzu chirps from the kitchen doorway.
She said she was going to get dressed, but all she did was throw on a pair of shorts—so tiny they barely cover more than the thong she had on earlier.
«We're one big family now—whether you like it or not. So let's try to get along, okay?» she says, flashing a sunshine-bright smile.
«I know, but…» Rika's face darkens. «Why did Mom dump this on us without even asking what we thought? We're her daughters! How could she secretly get married without telling us?!»
«You know how Mom is. Always busy with work and that other thing… She probably forgot—or maybe she thought she already told us. Not like it'd be the first time, right?»
«Y-Yeah… guess you're right,» Rika mumbles, then turns to Hakuto and Shin. «Introducing myself now feels kinda pointless, but… I'm Rika Narkhalis. I'm sixteen. Nice to meet you…»
