Kouh Town's shadows run deep, and Sarah Himejima-"The Swordfish"-is here to carve through them. A Japanese-Irish debt collector with a foul mouth and a katana that sings with the souls of her slaughtered Himejima Clan, she's no wide-eyed hero. She's back after years away, chasing a devil named Kael for cash, not redemption-but when his taunts dredge up the night her family burned, vengeance ignites alongside her sacred gear, KΕsetsu. Frostfire blazes, ancestors whisper, and Sarah's rage could level the underworld-if it doesn't break her first.
Enter Issei Hyoudou, no longer the harem king. A broken devil hunter in a crimson trench coat, he bartends at "Asia's Light" by day and hunts by night, haunted by Asia Argento's death. Their paths collide in a rain-soaked brawl, forcing an alliance neither wants-her brashness clashing with his grief-fueled steel. Kael's trail leads to a conspiracy tied to the Himejima massacre, and whispers of a Tokyo bar run by Rias Gremory and Akeno Himejima-lovers now, not pawns-hint at answers Sarah doesn't know she's seeking. Oh, and Akeno? She's Sarah's long-lost cousin, but neither's got a clue.
In a Kouh where Kiba and Koneko sling food truck grub and peerages are dust, Sarah and Issei face devils, aliens, and their own demons. KΕsetsu's ultimate power-Himejima Requiem-could tip the scales, but it might cost Sarah her life and the last echoes of her clan. Highschool DxD's world has grown up, and it's a brutal, neon-lit mess. Ready for a debt worth dying for?
