  The m, I woke up early. Turning my head, I saw Asia ging to me like a koa, her arms and legs ed around me.

  Actually, st night, just as I was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, my bedroom door suddenly opened.

  Asia had inally been assigo another room, but that night, she snuto my room wearing a nearly transparent nightgown and crawled into my bed.

  I was so flustered that I barely slept a wink all night. I was incredibly tempted, but sidering everything she had been through, I decided not to "take advantage" of her.

  Gently extrig myself from Asia's embrace, I got out of bed ao the kit to make breakfast.

  "Asia-, wake up! Time for breakfast!"

  Asia sleepily poked her little head out from uhe covers, her emerald eyes blinking. She saw me standing by the bed, smiling at her.

  "Ah! I'm sorry, Onii-sama! I overslept! I fot to make breakfast!" Asia's face flushed red as she quickly got out of bed, ready to start cooking.

  "Don't worry about it. Breakfast is already made. After you eat, e to school with me, Asia-!" I said, ping her cheek gently.

  "Eh? Really? Thank you, Onii-sama!"

  Asia was thrilled to hear that she could go to school with me. She was eager to make more friends.

  ....

  After breakfast, we arrived at the Occult Research Club once again.

  Wheered, everyone was already there. I greeted them, "Good m, everyone!"

  But when they saw Asia, everyone had a strange expression on their faces, w why I had brought a nun to the Devil's Headquarters.

  "Kyoya-kun, what's going on? you expin?" Rias asked, looking at me seriously.

  Akeno, as usual, was smiling pyfully as she prepared tea.

  Kiba, stood behind Rias, a gentle smile on his face as he listetentively.

  Koneko, oher hand, frowned slightly when she saw Asia. She shot me a resentful gre, clearly displeased.

  I was a little fused by Koneko's rea. Why was she gring at me? Was she jealous?

  ....

  I then expihe situation with the Church, the Fallen Angels, and Asia.

  Hearing about Asia's tragic past, everyo sympathy for the fragile girl.

  Just because she had healed a Devil out of the kindness of her heart, she had been branded a heretid expelled from the Church, only to nearly die at the hands of the Fallen Angels.

  She had gone from being a Revered Holy Maiden to being beled a witch.

  Unsciously, everyone's opinion of the Church plummeted.

  Even Kiba couldn't help but curse the Church. But his gaze towards Asia was filled with passion and friendliness, as he too had suffered at the hands of the Church.

  They took him and other children and forced them to undergo Holy Sword aptitude training. When none of them proved patible, they were all poisoned.

  He was only alive due to Rias turning him into a Reinated Devil.

  "That's just like the Church. Disgusting!"

  Koneko, looking at Asia ging to my arm, her expression fearful, felt a pang of pity for her. She also uood my as a little better.

  "Asia possesses the powerful healing [Sacred Gear: Twilight Healing]. It heal even serious injuries, and it even heal Devils!"

  I took a sip of tea and casually dropped this bombshell, my meaning obvious. I wanted Rias to recruit Asia. Whether she would or not to her.

  "Hmm?" Hearing my words, a thought fshed through Rias's mind, and she instantly uood my iion.

  Rias smiled faintly, then turo Asia with open arms. "Asia-, I'm very sorry for what you've been through. But I see that you have great potential and a good heart. So, I'd like to invite you to bey peerage member. Would you be willing to join us?"

  "Eh? Bee a Devil...?" Asia was startled by Rias's invitation and nervously clutched my hand.

  Seeing Asia's apprehension, I reassured her, "Don't worry, Asia-. Just follow your heart."

  "Um... Has Kyoya bee a Devil yet?" Asia asked Rias hesitantly, after calming down a bit.

  "Uh... Not yet. But Kyoya-kun and I are family. Asia-, if you bey peerage member, then we'll all be family, and we'll never be apart. How about it? Are you ied?"

  Rias now uood that Asia followed my lead. So, she decided to use that to her advantage, painting a tempting picture.

  "Rias, when did you and Kyoya-kun bee family? Why wasn't 'I' aware?"

  Akeno said with a teasing smile, looking at Rias.

  "Akeno! I don't know what you're talking about! Of course, we're all family." Rias's lips twitched. Her face was flushed, and she avoided looking at me, instead shooting a gre at Akeno.

  "Oh, is that so? I was just saying~" Akeno saw that her best friend was embarrassed and decided to drop the teasing.

  With her current peerage, It was too small. She was naturally happy about the possibility of having a talented healer like Asia join their ranks.

  "I'm sorry, but I've already agreed to bee Kyoya's little sister. So, I want to remain human, just like Onii-sama. So, about being your peerage member... I'm sorry." Asia finally gathered the ce to voice her decision.

  "Pfft!"

  "What? You became Kyoya-kun's little sister?"

  Rias was so shocked that she choked oea and spat it out.

  "When did this happen? Kyoya-kun, why didn't you tell me sooner! You made me look like a fool back there..."

  Rias was embarrassed, remembering how she had tried to entice Asia.

  Akeno, oher hand, gred at me with moger. "Kyoya-kun, you're such a flirt! you went and adopted Asia as your little sister. pletely abandoning me—yirlfriend!"

  Even Koneko chimed in with a quiet, "Perverted H-senpai."

  Even the usually quiet Kiba couldn't help but smile and offer his "gratutions, Hibari-san!"

  ....

  'Damn it, Kiba, you look all ho and proper, but you're just adding fuel to the fire!'

  "Hey, hey, hey! Don't get the wrong idea. Asia and I are just brother and sister right now." I sighed helplessly.

  "Oh, 'right now' you have no untoward retionship. Does that mean you will iure?"

  Akeno tio tease, refusing to let me off the hook.

  "Fine, yes. I admit it. I want a huge harem! Akeno, how about you e over to my pce tonight?" I said, deg to py along.

  "I'd be too scared to go alone. I'd definitely get eaten up. Unless Rias es with me." Akeno said with a sly grin, deg t Rias into it.

  "Akeno!!"

  "Don't drag me into this!" Rias protested, blushing furiously, after seeing that her best friend was trying t her down with him.
