I Got Reincarnated In Highschool Dxd (Reboot)

chapter 12: down with the fallen part 2

I looked around the living room, the aftermath of the intense rescue mission still lingering in the air. Kira, my little sister, was sprawled on the couch, snoring softly. The adrenaline rush was subsiding, and now my focus was on Asia, who was seated across from me.

I handed her a chicken sandwich, a simple comfort in the midst of chaos.

Me: here, Asia. You must be hungry. I figured a chicken sandwich might help.

Asia's eyes lit up, and a small smile played on her lips. She took the sandwich, savoring each bite.

Asia:Thank you, Finn. This is really good. I appreciate it.

I leaned back, watching her eat, and couldn't help but feel a mix of relief and gratitude.

Me:No problem. You've been through a lot. I'm just glad we got you out of there.

Asia nodded, her expression turning somber

Asia:I... I didn't think I'd make it. Those fallen angels were relentless. If you hadn't come when you did...

I interrupted gently,

Me:You're safe now, Asia. That's what matters. We're a team, and we look out for each other.

Tears welled up in Asia's eyes, and she set the sandwich aside, looking directly at me.

Asia:Finn, I can't thank you enough for saving me. You risked so much for someone like me, a former enemy. I don't deserve it.

I reached across the table, placing a reassuring hand on hers,

Me:Asia, don't say that. We're friends, and friends look out for each other. Besides, everyone deserves a chance at redemption. You're no exception.

She sniffled, a mix of gratitude and emotion in her voice,

Asia:You've shown me kindness I never expected. I thought I was condemned, but you... you've given me hope.

I smiled, squeezing her hand gently,

Me:We all have our pasts, Asia. What matters is what we do now. And as for hope, you're not alone. We're here for you.

As we sat in the quiet living room, the weight of the rescue mission began to lift. The bond between Asia and me strengthened, forged in the crucible of adversity. Kira continued to snore on the couch, unaware of the profound moments transpiring around her. In that stillness, I knew that our journey was far from over, but we faced it together – a team of unlikely allies brought together by circumstance and choice.

Kira stirred on the couch, her little hands rubbing her eyes as she let out an adorable yawn. I couldn't help but smile as she looked at me with a mix of curiosity and sleepiness.

Me:Hey, sleepyhead

I  greeted her as she sat up, her eyes widening with surprise.

Kira:Big brother!

she exclaimed, crawling over to me. Before I knew it, she was on my lap, her arms wrapped around my neck.

Kira:I've been waiting for you. Where have you been?

I patted her head, so adorable

I chuckled, gently ruffling her hair

Me:I had some work to do, Kira. You know how it goes.

She pouted

Kira:But you promised we'd play when you got home.

I glanced at Asia, who observed the sibling interaction with a soft smile, then turned back to Kira
