Transmigrated As A Stepdad In A Fantasy Doujin World

Chapter 64: 64. Reunion

The four of them stepped through the back door of the guild hall and into the cooler interior.

The main floor was quieter than the packed stadium outside, though a few rankers still moved between the mission boards and the counter.

Lina walked half a step ahead of Kael, white hair swaying with every irritated movement.

She kept glancing back at him, lips pushed out in a clear pout, golden eyes sharp with leftover annoyance.

”You still haven’t explained how you cut that dummy,” she said, voice carrying the same childish arrogance as before.

”A real D-rank shouldn’t be able to do that. You’re definitely hiding something.”

Kael only smiled, the expression easy and faintly amused.

”Maybe the dummy was defective.”

”It was not defective!” Lina’s cheeks puffed slightly.

”Academy cores don’t just break for no reason. You’re cheating somehow and I’m going to figure it out.”

Before Kael could answer, a bright, familiar voice cut across the hall.

”Lina! You came home!”

Mira hurried out from behind the reception counter.

The outfit she wore today was far more revealing than her usual work clothes: tight, cut-through pants that clung to her hips and left most of her thighs bare, and a full-strap bra that barely contained the heavy swell of her breasts.

The soft flesh looked ready to spill over the edges with every quick step.

Her belly was completely exposed.

She reached Lina in a few strides and pulled her into a tight hug.

The two pairs of large breasts pressed firmly together, the identical heavy curves making the family resemblance impossible to miss.

Kael’s eyes lingered for a second longer than they should have.

’So Lina is her daughter. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree.’

The sight of the two full, pressed chests and the open stretch of Mira’s stomach and thighs sent a slow heat through him.

The guild hall suddenly felt warmer.

Amber’s rough voice snapped him back.

”Stop gawking and move. You’re coming with me for training. I’m going to drill your whole body until the only thing it knows how to do is fight.”

Lily walked a little behind them, light-brown hair shifting as she glanced between Kael and the still-hugging mother and daughter.

She offered him a small, almost pitying smile.

”Good luck.”

Lina was still squirming in Mira’s arms.

”Mom, it’s enough. I’m not little anymore.”

Mira only held her tighter, eyes already turning a little red at the corners.

”You’re still my little girl. You never even visit me anymore.”

Kael was about to follow Amber toward the side corridor when the main entrance of the guild opened again.

Seraphine stepped inside, silver-white hair catching the light, crimson eyes scanning the floor with her usual sharp expression.

She was alone.

Kael’s mood shifted at once as he didn’t see Eira with her.

He crossed the distance in a few long strides and closed his fingers around her wrist.

”What are you doing here, Sera? I told you to stay home and look after your sister.”

Seraphine froze for a split second at the sudden rough grip, then her eyes narrowed and she pulled against his hold.

”She’s outside. I didn’t leave her alone. You can go play with your favourite daughter. Just don’t come to me when you need me.”

The words came out sharper than usual.

Inside, her thoughts burned hotter.

’Why does he always care about Eira first? I’m his stepdaughter too. We already did those things together and the first thing he talks about is still her. Hmph. I won’t let him do that with me again.’

She turned her face away with an angry little pout, cheeks already coloring.

Kael stared at her for a moment and realized how hard his voice had come out.

He loosened his grip, then reached up with his free hand.

Because he stood six-foot-six and she was only five-foot-two, he had to tilt her chin upward so she was forced to meet his eyes.

His thumb brushed lightly across her cheek in a slow, careful motion.

Seraphine’s entire face turned red under the gentle touch.

”Sorry, Sera,” he said, tone much quieter now.

”You know your sister’s condition isn’t good. Leaving her alone isn’t safe for her. You’re one of the most capable daughters I have. That’s why I rely on you to look after her and the house.”

Seraphine’s pout stayed in place, but the anger in her crimson eyes softened a fraction.

She still refused to look at him directly, yet she no longer tried to pull her wrist free.

A few steps away Amber watched the exchange with folded arms.

Lily stood beside her, black eyes thoughtful as she took in the conversation between them.

Near the counter Mira finally loosened her hug, though her hands still rested on Lina’s shoulders.

Lina looked thoroughly embarrassed, white hair slightly mussed from the embrace.

”Mom, people are staring,” Lina muttered though there weren’t many people in there as most of them were in the arena.

”Let them stare,” Mira answered, voice thick. ”I haven’t seen my daughter in months.”

Kael released Seraphine’s wrist but kept his hand near her shoulder for a moment longer.

”Where is Eira right now?”

”Just outside the entrance,” Seraphine answered, still flushed.

”She wanted to wait in the sun.”

”Go stay with her. I’ll come find both of you when this training is finished.”

Seraphine gave a short, reluctant nod and turned toward the main doors.

Kael watched her walk away, silver-white hair shifting with each step, before he turned back to the waiting members of the Valkyrie Order.

Amber jerked her chin toward the corridor that led deeper into the guild’s private training rooms.

”Done with the family talk? Now, Move. You’ve got three days to stop being a liability, and I’m not wasting any of them.”

Lily offered Kael one last mild look of sympathy as he fell into step behind the red-haired woman.

Behind them Lina was still being fussed over by Mira, the two nearly identical figures standing close together while the rest of the guild continued its afternoon business around them.

The back corridor was cooler and quieter.

Amber walked with the same rough energy she always carried, deep-red curls bouncing once with every stride.

Kael followed in silence.

Three days under Amber’s personal attention. Whatever drilling his whole body meant, he doubted it would be gentle.

----

Hundreds of kilometers from Grayhollow, on a high hill that overlooked a stretch of dark forest, a single large tent stood against the evening wind.

Inside, two women sat facing each other across a low table lit by a floating mana crystal.

Envy sat rigidly upright.

Long black hair fell past her shoulders in straight, heavy strands.

Her dark black eyes were narrowed, pale skin stretched tight over sharp, resentful features.

A bitter line stayed fixed at the corner of her mouth.

She wore a full black battle dress that clung to her frame like a second skin, the fabric reinforced and marked with silver and diamond-like crystals that caught the crystal light in cold flashes.

Every line of the suit spoke of readiness for combat rather than comfort.

Across from her, Lust lounged with far less restraint.

Vibrant pink hair framed a face marked by matching pink eyes.

Her skin was completely pale and smooth, hairless from head to toe.

She had thrown a small, thin patch of dark cloth over the space between her legs, but when she shifted her weight the cloth rode up and exposed the soft curve of her ass.

A smooth pink metal buttplug sat firmly seated inside her, the base glinting whenever she moved.

Inverted pink nipples stood out clearly against her thin bra.

She looked completely at ease, one leg draped loosely over the side of her chair.

Envy’s jaw tightened further.

”Why did you follow me?” she asked, voice sharp with open annoyance.

”The queen said this mission was mine alone. She told you not to come.”

Lust’s pink eyes half-lidded, a slow, seductive smile curling her lips.

Her voice came out soft and thick with heat.

”Don’t worry so much. I won’t get in the way of your little assignment. I only want a small interaction with the queen’s husband. Nothing more.”

As she spoke, the image of the blond man with clear blue eyes rose clearly in her mind.

The memory of his face alone sent a warm pulse through her lower body.

Her thighs pressed together around the cloth patch and the plug shifted deeper for a moment.

’Just looking at him in my head is almost enough to make me cum,’ she thought, the pink in her eyes deepening slightly.

Envy watched the way Lust’s body reacted and felt a fresh wave of irritation mixed with something colder.

’I need to reach the queen’s husband first. If I let this bitch get near him she’ll snatch him away before I can finish what I came here to do.’

Outside the tent the wind moved across the hill, carrying the distant scent of the forest.

Inside, the two Sins remained seated across from each other, one rigid with jealousy and purpose, the other already half-lost in the idea of a man she had not yet touched.

The mission that had brought them so far from the demon continent was only beginning, and both of them already had their eyes fixed on the same target.
