Lincoln Hyoudou

Chapter 10: Different Pov Talks.

*A few days had passed since the battle with Viser, a battle that had ultimately led to her being returned to her human form. Now, she was living in the Hyoudou household, a new member of Issei’s ever-growing harem. The transition wasn’t without its challenges, but the other girls had welcomed her with teasing affection, making her feel like part of the family once again. Despite the occasional jabs, Viser couldn’t help but smile. She hadn’t known a life like this in so long—full of warmth, laughter, and the comfort of belonging. The darkness that once consumed her had faded, replaced by the light of new beginnings, and she had Lincoln and Issei to thank for that. Lincoln, for his part, had been proud. Watching Viser settle into her new life, seeing the changes she had made, filled him with a sense of contentment. His heart swelled every time he saw her laugh or interact with the others in the household, her earlier suffering a distant memory. He couldn’t be prouder of her, or of his brother, who had always believed in giving people second chances. As much as Issei had a reputation for being a little reckless with his choices, Lincoln knew his brother had a good heart, one that saw the potential for redemption even in the darkest of souls. One evening, as they were all gathered in the living room, relaxed and enjoying the quiet after a long day, Mittelt approached Lincoln. She had always been a little quieter than the others, her eyes filled with a mix of gratitude and uncertainty, but lately, she had started to come out of her shell more, her laughter mixing in with the others*.

Mittelt: *Her voice soft but earnest*? Lincoln-kun.

Lincoln: *He turns to her with a warm smile*. Yeah?

Mittelt: *She hesitates for a moment, her hands clasped together*. It's really nice that you've been taking care of us since the beginning. We really appreciate it. You and Issei-san gave us an opportunity to change, to be better... *Her eyes shine with a quiet sincerity*. Thank you.

Lincoln: *He leans back slightly in his chair, his expression thoughtful*
I only did what was necessary. *He meets her gaze with a soft smile, his voice steady*. If I hadn’t chosen to help you all, you would’ve still been suffering, not being in control, hurting others. It was the right thing to do. The world can be unpredictable, but sometimes, it offers you chances when you least expect it.

*Mittelt nods slowly, her eyes filled with a mixture of gratitude and admiration. Her thoughts wander back to the days when she had been nothing more than a tool of destruction, consumed by the chaos inside her. She could still remember the feeling of being lost, the anger that had taken control of her every action. But now, here she was, surrounded by people who saw her as more than just her past mistakes, people who had given her a chance to start anew. Viser, who had been sitting nearby, overhears their conversation and smiles, her heart swelling with emotion. She had come a long way since the days when she had been a mindless weapon, driven by nothing but anger and hatred. Now, she was part of a family, a family that had accepted her with open arms despite her past. And it was all thanks to Lincoln and Issei's belief in the possibility of change, their willingness to help those in need, no matter their history. Viser, Mittelt, and the others—all of them had found a place to belong, a place where they were no longer defined by their pasts. And it was in moments like this that Lincoln felt his decision to help them, to believe in them, had been worth every second. He turns back to Mittelt, his smile growing a little more relaxed*.

Lincoln: *His voice softens*. Life has a funny way of showing you what’s possible, doesn’t it? A little kindness, a little faith, and you can change everything. *His tone turns more playful*. Though I’m sure you’ll all make fun of me for being so sentimental later.

Mittelt: *She chuckles softly, her smile growing wider*. I don’t think anyone here would make fun of you for that, Lincoln-kun. We all owe you so much.
