Chapter 24: The alluring charm of a succubus«Itsu, you're really incredible! Next time I want to fight you too!» Chantal exclaims.
She's completely overexcited.
Before, she looked at Itsu like a strong rival.
But now, her admiration has grown so much that she nearly worships him like a god.
Hakuto, Rika, Chantal, and Itsu are sitting at the table in a private room at Cordesol Meat, the luxurious South American restaurant chain that just opened in Ashiya.
The table is set for five, but one seat remains empty.
The fifth guest warned he'd be late because of prior commitments.
«Yeah, even though old Tendo's strength is complete nonsense... for a moment I really thought I could beat him. But he just played around the whole time... If I had minded my own business, I could be enjoying this free dinner properly...» Itsu replies.
He's still in pain and visibly bruised, even though more than three hours have passed since the fight ended—and despite the fact that vampires have strong regenerative abilities.
Hakuto watches them with a grim expression.
The power scale he had imagined has been completely overturned this afternoon.
He used to think Chantal was the strongest of the three, while he and Itsu were more or less equal.
But now, it's clear that Itsu is the strongest—even if Chantal hasn't shown her full strength yet.
The thought of seeing Chantal at full power fighting Itsu in his Innatus form really intrigues him.
But at the same time, this sudden shift in the balance of power forces Hakuto to face a painful truth: he's the weakest of the three.
And not just by a little.
~I have to ask my father to train me properly. Harder than ever before. I can't afford to fall behind. If someone like Itsu showed up—or someone even stronger—how could I ever protect Rika and Yuzu?~
The door of the private room swings open.
A girl with thick blond hair walks in.
She's wearing large sunglasses and a skimpy, provocative outfit—yet there's elegance in it.
A classic black evening dress, with a deep neckline and a high slit that shows off her stunning thighs.
Everyone stares at her, confused.
They don't recognize her until she speaks.
She's the fifth and final person at the table: Ana Garroza.
There are things money can't buy—like access to a grand opening reserved for top-tier VIPs.
Thanks to Ana, they got that exclusive spot.
Still, she chose to stay incognito.
VIPs come in two types: the famous ones, and the ones so famous even the first group asks them for photos or autographs.
Ana clearly belongs to the second group.
She had no intention of spending the night posing for selfies or signing things.
But spending it alone or with her staff would've been just as boring.
So she invited Hakuto and the others—some of the few people who don't bother her.
A quiet evening among friends, nothing more.
Or at least, that's what she told them.
The seat Ana chose is right between Hakuto and Rika—and it's no coincidence.
She suspects Rika might be one of the two hybrid sisters Marquis Velshekar is
Ana storms out of the room, clearly annoyed—but not before giving Hakuto one last, tempting glance.
