After sending Kalawarna, Dohnaseek, Mittelt, and Raynare back to Nazarick, I made my way to the entrance of the church.
There, I found Issey carefully carrying Asia, who was still unconscious but breathing steadily.
The look of concern on Issey's face was genuine, a stark contrast to the fierce determination she had shown monts before.
"How is she?" I asked, my voice softening as I approached them.
"She's stable, but still out cold," Issey replied, her eyes flicking up to et mine. "What happened in there? Are they gone?"
"Yes," I confird. "They're gone. We won't be seeing them around here anymore."
Issey let out a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing slightly. "Good. Asia doesn't need any more trouble."
I nodded, taking a mont to assess the situation. "Let's get her to safety. She needs proper care and a warm bed, and we can't provide that here."
Issey nodded, adjusting her hold on Asia to ensure she was comfortable.
While Issey was focused on Asia, I opened a gate to my apartnt. The dark shimring gateway appeared before us, casting an ominous glow that seed to repel any curious bystanders.
"What is this, Alex?" Issey asked, her voice tinged with surprise and a bit of apprehension as she eyed the portal warily.
"It's a portal to my apartnt," I explained calmly. "We can't provide the care Asia needs here. She'll be safer and more comfortable at my place."
Issey hesitated for a mont, clearly torn between her concern for Asia and her wariness of the unknown gateway. "Are you sure it's safe?" she asked, looking from the portal to .
I nodded reassuringly. "Yes, it's perfectly safe. I've used it many tis. Trust , it's the quickest way to get Asia the help she needs."
After a brief pause, Issey nodded, her resolve hardening. "Alright. Let's go."
We stepped through the portal, erging into the warm, inviting living room of my apartnt. The transition was smooth, the oppressive atmosphere of the church giving way to a cozy, well-lit space that imdiately put Issey more at ease.
"Lay her down here," I instructed, motioning to the plush couch. "She'll be more comfortable."
Issey carefully placed Asia on the couch, adjusting the blanket to make sure she was snug. She looked around the room, taking in the surroundings with a mixture of relief and curiosity.
"This is your place?" she asked, a note of surprise in her voice.
"Yes," I replied, closing the portal behind us. "A bit more comfortable than the church, don't you think?"
Issey chuckled softly, the tension easing from her shoulders. "Definitely."
"Where is your sister, Alex? Is she not here?" Issey asked, looking around the apartnt.
"She's out right now," I said, moving to the kitchen to retrieve a glass of water and so dical supplies. "She tends to stay busy with her own work, but she'll be back later."
Issey nodded, seeming satisfied with the answer. "It feels a bit strange being in a place like this after everything that's happened," she admitted, glancing around the room.
"I can imagine," I said, handing the healing potion to Issey. "But you're safe here, and that's what matters. Let's focus on getting Asia comfortable."
Issey took the healing potion and gently pressed it to Asia's lips, helping her drink a few sips. Almost imdiately, a healthy color returned to Asia's cheeks, and her breathing steadied.
"She should start feeling better soon," I said.
Issey then turned to , curiosity evident in her eyes. "You know, Alex, I have lots to ask you about. Like, what was that dark portal thing? And why didn't I find Freed's body at the entrance of the church?"
I leaned back, keeping my tone casual. "The portal is a form of teleportation magic. As for Freed, he is gone for good."
Issey seed to mull this over, then gave a wry smile. "You know, you're really getting mysterious."
"Do you hate it?" I asked, my eyes locking onto hers.
She shook her head, a playful glint in her eyes. "No, actually. You know, girls are into mysterious guys."
She stepped closer, the atmosphere suddenly charged with an unexpected heat. There was a mont of silence, the air between us thick with unspoken tension.
I could see the curiosity and attraction in her eyes, a mix of emotions.
"Issey," I started, my voice softer now. "There's a lot you don't know about . A lot I can't explain just yet."
She bit her lip, looking up at with a mixture of defiance and longing. "Then show ," she whispered, closing the gap between us.
Before I could react, she leaned in and pressed her lips to mine. The kiss was tentative at first, but quickly deepened, the heat between us intensifying.
When we finally pulled apart, she were both breathless. Issey's eyes were wide with surprise and sothing else—love, maybe.
"Wow, My First kiss," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
I smiled, "Should we move to bedroom."
