«Would you carry this box to my bedroom? It's too, too, too heavy! I can't do it!»
Yuzu clings to Hakuto, whining like a brat, as if the box weighed a ton.
She walks ahead, leading the way.
No matter how hard he tries not to stare at her butt, he fails miserably. The ridiculously short and tight blue shorts Yuzu's wearing only make her small but firm butt even more irresistible.
Hakuto cares about his father and respects him, but on a personal level, he doesn't think much of him. He basically sees him as half a pervert — not exactly a rare opinion. That's why Hakuto tries his best to act like the complete opposite of his old man.
~I'm not like my dad. I'm not like my dad. I'm not like—damn it, I looked again...!~
«Oh, this will be your bedroom,» Yuzu announces, stopping in front of one of the many doors along the hallway. It's a white door with a very detailed drawing made with a black marker of a...
«Wh-Why is there a huge dick drawn on my bedroom door?!»
«Huh? I don't get what's so weird about it...» Yuzu says, pressing a finger to her lips with a fake-innocent look. «Don't you like how I drew it?»
«It's not about the art style—IT'S A HUGE DICK ON MY DOOR!»
«Ugh, so picky… I even made it big! You should be honored your little sister thinks so highly of you!»
«Oh yeah? And what makes you say that?»
There's a tiny trace of pride in Hakuto's voice—Yuzu's words would boost any guy's ego.
Yuzu grins wide. «Because you're Shin's son.»
«A-A-And what the hell do you know about my dad's… thing?!»
«Isn't it obvious?»
Her smile stretches wider, and Hakuto breaks into a cold sweat.
~Please… don't say what I think you're about to say…~
«Your dad is very nice, but to impress my mom, it takes more than just being nice, if you know what I mean... He must have some pretty impressive hidden qualities down there. And since it's a hereditary trait...» Yuzu adds with a wink.
Hakuto exhales in relief. For a second, he really thought she was about to say something way worse.
Two doors down, on the same side of the hall, is Yuzu's room.
«Thanks a ton for helping! You were suuuper sweet!»
Yuzu's room is all pink—soft bed, a few wardrobes, and a giant bookshelf that looks like a mini library. Hakuto's genuinely surprised. Sure, judging by looks is dumb, but he never would've guessed she was a bookworm.
«Oh, it's nothing. We're siblings now, right? Helping out is the least we can do.»
Hakuto's about to head out, but Yuzu grabs his shirt and stops him.
«Aren't you even curious what's in the box?»
«Uh… no.»
«Ugh! Ask me what's in the box!»
«I really don't care!»
«Just do it! I won't let you leave until you ask!»
Hakuto lets out a resigned sigh.
«What's in the box...?» he asks in the most uninterested tone possible.
«Yay! I'm so glad you asked!» Yuzu beams.
~Even though she literally forced me to…~
With dramatic flair, Yuzu opens the box—packed with bikinis and beach stuff.
«Wow. Swimsuits. Can I leave now?»
«Of course not! You said siblings help each other, remember? It's summer and I haven't bought any new ones yet—obviously, you're coming with me. But first, we have to sort last year's batch—what stays and what goes.»
«You can't do that on your own?»
«Of course not! Male opinion is crucial for this! I'll try them on, one by one—you rate them!»
Yuzu starts pulling her shirt over her head. Her nipples poke through the tight fabric—just like earlier. Yep, no bra this time either.Hakuto spins around instinctively, turning his back to her.
«Huh? Don't tell me you're embarrassed to see your little sister naked? We're family—these things should be natural between us.»
«Y-Yeah, you're my little sister, but… only for a few hours!»
«So what? I was totally looking forward to showering with my big bro… all my friends do it!»
~Pretty sure that's not normal..~
«...a-almost… why won't it go in?! …ugh… okay, done! You can look now!»
Hakuto turns—and almost passes out.
The bikini bottom's fine—light blue, thin, and fits perfectly. But the top… looks like it's about to explode. It's tiny, barely covering her nipples, squeezing her chest like it's wrapped in fishing line. Only a tiny gold ring between her boobs holds the undersized cups together—barely.
Then, the inevitable happens...
—CRACK!
The ring snaps—and only Hakuto's superhuman reflexes let him look away at the last second as Yuzu's top hits the floor.
«Oops… didn't think my boobs grew that much since last summer. Guess I'll give these to Rika—they'd fit her. I'll just borrow one from Mom for today's pool party. It'll be too big, but better than nothing. I can't risk my shy big brother having a heart attack from seeing his little sister's boobs.»
«Yuzu, please… just give me a break!»

Late afternoon, just as planned, the garden jacuzzi aperitif kicks off while they wait for Kagura to get back from work. The jacuzzi is a square—about two meters per side—with Shin and Hakuto sitting at one edge, in opposite corners. Rika, wearing a modest black one-piece swimsuit with a side cut-out, sits across from them and Yuzu is sandwiched right between Shin and Hakuto.
«It's honestly amazing you two are sisters,» Shin says, already on his sixth or seventh glass of wine. «You've been talking non-stop since morning, while Rika hasn't said a word—aside from those not-so-nice lines in the kitchen.»
Rika simply makes an annoyed grimace as she sips her orange fruit juice—just like Hakuto—while Yuzu, as if to confirm Shin's words, starts talking nonstop again. The little bit of wine she had—just a taste—has made her even more talkative.
«Oh yeah, she might not look it, but my big sis is super shy. It takes her forever to open up to people—but not as long as your son!»
Yuzu's words are interrupted by hiccups, caused by her drunkenness, despite her being only halfway through her first glass.
«Can you believe he freaked out this morning just because I was undressing in front of him?! Scandalized by his own little stepsister… how rude!»
«Y-Yuzu… y-you're really shameless!» Rika mumbles, cheeks red—not from the heat, but pure embarrassment.
~Good to know I'm not the only one here with a shred of decency… Between Yuzu and Dad, I was starting to feel like the only normal human in this house…~
«Yeah, my boy is really strange,» Shin comments. «If I had a stepsister like you at his age, you'd probably be Hakuto's mom by now.»
At those words, Hakuto spits the juice he was sipping like a fire hydrant, caught off guard by a sudden cough—and Rika doesn't fare much better when Yuzu replies, absolutely casually, «You're not that old, Shin. We still have time to give him a little brother.»
Shin and Yuzu burst into loud, uninhibited laughter. The wine's definitely kicked in. Hakuto and Rika, meanwhile, lock eyes for a brief second of shared suffering.
~This level of chemistry between Yuzu and Dad is ridiculous. She's like his female clone. Living with two Shins… and one was already hard enough to handle…~
«Damn, the wine's gone…» Shin mutters, tipping the bottle and getting only a drop. «Rika! More wine!» he calls, shaking his empty glass.
«Yes, big sis! Bring us wine!» Yuzu echoes like a cheerleader.
Rika lets out a deep sigh.
The last bottle of red wine sits on the ground at the foot of the jacuzzi.
To grab it, she turns around and bends down, her upper body now out of the water, hanging face down.
A movement that inevitably puts her ass in the air. A butt that now stands out in all its firm, voluminous glory—definitely rounder than Yuzu's—and even more emphasized by the swimsuit, which, due to the motion, gets wedged between her butt cheeks.
Two such firm and round buttocks at such a close distance aren't something you see every day. But this time, Hakuto's reflexes fail him, and his eyes get caught by that dreamlike backside.
«Looks like our dear Hakuto's weakness is a nice ass,» Yuzu teases. «Guess I'll have to start doing squats!»
«Pervert…» Rika comments simply, her voice cold and sharp.
~When is Yuzu going to learn to shut that big mouth...? I really need to remember to stay away from her when she drinks!~
Suddenly, the roar of an engine cuts through the air.
From the special lane connecting the massive gate to the house, a red sports car pulls up, and a woman steps out gracefully—Kagura Narkhalis.
Long, silky platinum hair. White suit. Matching heels. Orange-tinted sunglasses.
Hakuto feels like he's seeing someone not from this world. Her beauty is unreal—supernatural, out of a dream.
Yuzu warned him her mom had giant boobs, but… this?
And when she turns to close the car door, he catches a glimpse of her backside—a cake-shaped ass that makes Rika's look small and flat in comparison.
«FIIUUUU~» Shin whistles, long and low. «Today my beloved wifey is looking extra spicy!»
«Hakuto Tendo. We finally meet,» Kagura says sweetly, elegantly. «Your father told me so much—everything—about you. I'm very happy to meet you.»
«N-Nice to meet you, Kagura…»
And as Kagura steps closer, only one thought spins in Hakuto's brain: How the hell did my dad pull THIS off?!
