Demonic Pornstar System novel Chapter 573

Chapter 573: Preparations Complete

The purple-haired girl ignored the Moon Valkyrie’s murmuring. "We finish the bath. Eat properly. Say our goodbyes."

Luna’s jaw then tightened as she forced the next words out of her lips. "And then, with clear heads and prepared minds... we begin. Because whatever this is, and if I’m right that it’ll force us to change locations, it might take days. Weeks. Maybe longer."

"Days...?"

"Weeks...?"

"Longer?!"

Aria’s voice climbed into outright panic as she twisted around, both hands immediately finding Kaiden’s, pressing them tightly against her bare, warm belly as if anchoring herself. "I can’t deal with that! I refuse! Separation longer than ten minutes is unacceptable!"

A chorus of agreement followed instantly.

"Yeah..."

"That’s horrible..."

"I don’t like that at all."

The water rippled as bodies shifted closer together, the idea alone drawing them inward.

Then Calypso spoke.

Her voice was calm. Steady. Stripped of teasing and bravado.

"Right now, we’re surviving because we’re surrounded by shields that aren’t truly ours."

The others quieted.

"Vespera. Runewoven. Nova Circuit. The Awakened Association." Calypso’s gaze moved from face to face. "We lean on them because we have to. Because there are people out there who would happily tear us apart if they got the chance."

She exhaled softly. "But I don’t know about you... I don’t like relying on that."

Bastet’s ears flicked.

"Even Vespera," Calypso continued, voice gentler now, "family she may be, has her own life. Her own battles. She can’t, and shouldn’t, be expected to baby us forever."

"And we don’t want her to," the girls said together, quietly but firmly.

Calypso nodded. "Exactly." Her tail swayed once behind her. "If we want to stay with the love of our lives," she glanced at Kaiden, eyes softening despite herself, "then we have to become strong enough to protect ourselves. Strong enough that no one can force separation on us."

She hesitated, just a fraction.

"...I don’t want to be apart either," she admitted. "Not even for a moment. But if stepping away now means we can stand beside him forever later..." Her smile was small, sincere. "Then that’s a sacrifice worth making."

The words settled.

Slowly, one by one, tension eased—not gone, but tempered by resolve.

"... You’re right," Nyx said at last.

"...As much as I hate it," Luna added.

Aria sniffed, still clinging to Kaiden’s hands, but nodded reluctantly.

Bastet stared at Calypso for a long moment, golden eyes narrowed. Then she spoke, disbelief clear in her tone.

"...You are a lot wiser than you look."

Calypso scoffed. "Shut it, Choco Kitty. I may be a demonic maiden hopelessly in love and prone to excessive bloodlust on the battlefield, but I wasn’t born yesterday." She smirked. "I am a smart and wise woman."
