Chapter 17: Bat Country


(Y/N)'s POV

The next day after school, the ORC along with my group gathered at the ground floor of the old school building's room that had been made the 'Sealed Classoom'. I felt something, odd about the whole experience.

Even from the outside, this room was securely closed so we couldn't see inside of the room. What was it used for, apparently Rias' other Bishop lived in the room, though I only knew certain details about the Bishop. I looked towards Issei, seeing that he didn't know who the Bishop was either. Knowing him, I at least thought that he would want it to be a girl. I didn't really care all that much honestly. Though I knew that the Bishop had been made years ago, that's what I heard from Yuto.

And with that we're in front of the 'Sealed Classroom' but...a tape with 'KEEP OUT' written on was heavily pasted with magical seals carved on.

"Well this is intriguing." I pointed out while looking through the detailed design of the seals on the door. "The Bishop is in here?"

"The kid is over here." Rias nodded her head before knocking on the door, and then started expanding her magic circle to release the seal. "All day, that Bishop lives here. For the time being, his powers are loosened deep in the night, and if it's just in the old building, he can exit the room, but the kid inside refuses to do that. Truthfully, the Bishop has been gathering items for me, but Onii-sama being the...person that he is, stopped the Bishop from giving me the items that I required."

"Let just hope that it's not the Juggernaut. Last time I remember, someone got their body split in half."

"I-Is the person a Hikikomori?" Isse questioned which she nodded her head while letting out a sigh. Later, Yuto removed the tape with Akeno.

"The kid inside has been the biggest earner among the servants." Akeno sai that then hugged my arm. "Fufu, (Y/N)-kun. Did you know that if you're nice to the kid in there, they'll be kind to you as well~"

"What are you implying?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

She snickered, and then saw Issei's confused face, so as if answering the unasked question, Akeno came out with it. "Through a computer, the kid takes special contracts from humans. Frankly, it's a person who doesn't want to meet us. Those type of people negotiate in a different way, and make relations differently. They solve things through the computer. In the dealings through computers, amongst the new Devil servants, this kid grabs enough numbers like those of a superior rank. Let just say, both the kid and (Y/N) are on par on contracts."

Issei made a surprised expression on his face. "For real?"

"Not bad," I nodded with an impressed expression on his face. "Guess our method is the same..."

"Wait, how did you do your contracts?"

"I contacted the clients via dreams. That's what my specialties is."

"How convenient...also, stop manipulating my dream!" Issei scolded. "I'm sick of having Mil-tan doing strip dance for me!"

"Hmm?" I innocently smiled. "I don't know what you are talking about my dear brother."

"Quit it with your shenanigans!"

"Now then, I am opening the door." Once the rest of the magical circles vanished from the door, it became a simple door. Rias opened the door, and walked inside.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" An outrageously high scream emitted from inside, Issei became startled, and Asia hid behind my body, Mikan doing the same thing. Orion tipped his head the side.

"Seems like the Bishop surely is a loud one," I commented, rubbing my ears.

"Sounds like a pathetic cry for mercy," Bill pointed out.

"That's rude,"

Rias sighed while both of her and Akeno opened the door. "Good day to you." She greeted with an elegant voice. "It's nice to see you all energetic as always."

"W-W-Whyyyyyyy?" Everyone else walked into the room while looking around trying to find out where the voice was coming from.

"Ara ara, the seal got removed, you know? You are able to go out now. Now, let's all go out together?" Akeno's gentle voice truly was something that I did really love. I sensed sympathy and felt that she was gently trying to connect. However, it didn't go down as well as Akeno would have hoped.

"Nooooooooooooooo! This place is gooooooooooood! I don't want to go outside! I don't want to meet peopleeeeeeeeeeeee!" I truly cringed at the sound of the voice, how they were crying. But I could also sympathize if they truly were scared.

I looked around the room and noticed the curtains were tightly shut close. Dim. The room was decorated in an unexpectedly cute manner, it looked like a girl's room. Stuffed dolls were present as well. I also saw something that worried Issei, but I just thought it was normal, seeing that there was coffin there, dressed in thrills and pink stuff.

Once I opened up the coffin, I looked and saw a noble looking girl, with a golden hair, red eyes with a doll-like appearance and wearing a Kuoh Academy girl's uniform.

"Ooh! A girl! Not to mention a foreigner!" Issei looked at the girl with a perverted expression on his face causing the young girl to let out an 'Eep!' and faced away shyly.

I looked at the girl with an analyzing expression on my face and hummed slightly, before making a shocked expression. "IT's A TRAP!" Issei looked at me with a confused expression on his face. "Appearance-wise, this kid looks like a girl but without a doubt he is a boy."

"NO, NO, NO, NO!" Issei turned his attention on the trap. "No matter how you look at it. It's a girl, (Y/N)! Please tell me if this a lie?!"

"Unfortunately, (N/N) was right." Rias nodded her head.

"He has a hobby of dressing in female clothes." After Akeno said that, Issei's expression completely became disgusted expression on his face.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh?!"

"Eeeeeek! I am sorry, I am sorryyyyyyyy!" The blond haired boy started shrieking as Issei screamed out of surprise, while he started freaking out. "Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

"Hahahahaha!" I burst out laughing uncontrollably with the other males in the room. "This is priceless!"

"A-Agreed! Bwahahahahaha!" Orion nodded as he started to tear up from all the laughter.

"Oh, boy! This is gold!" Kokichi said, slapping his knee repeatedly.

"Is it alright to have such a cruel story..." Issei crouched down in place and started mumbling to himself. "He perfectly looks like a Bishoujo...for him to be a man...for him to have a penis on him..."

"...Talking about vulgar words is prohibited." Koneko in her usual monotone voice.

"It's an even more painful story that he has a hobby for wearing girl's clothes! Since it suits him, when I heard the unnecessary truth, the shock was too huge! Even though he's a Hikikomori, he's got a hobby of wearing girl's clothes! Are the girl's clothes to show to someone!?"

At Issei's question, the young boy in front of them shook his head nervously. "B-B-B-But, girl's clothes are super cute."

"Don't say things like super cute!" Issei scolded him. "Shit! Even though you're a guy! You shattered my dream in an instant! I-I was actually dreaming about you and Mikan, the beautiful Bishoujou bishops, you know!? Give it back! Give back my dream!"

"Here's your dreams..." I punched him on the head while planting horrifying images of Boku No Pico.

"N-NOT THOSE! NOT AT THIS MOMENT!"

"...Writings and dreams of people are transient." Koneko replied.

"Hahaha, relentless as always Koneko-chan!" I complimented as we both high-fived each other.

"Koneko-chan! That didn't sound like a joke!" Issei cried out, feeling weak from my Nightmare Inducement.

The young boy though turned his head towards us with a confused expression on his face. "B-B-B-By the way, who is this person?"

"These are new servants who came while you were here." Rias then pointed her finger towards Issei, Mikan and Xenovia. The Pawn, Hyoudou Issei. The Bishop, Mikan Ouma. The Knight, Xenovia."

The both greeted him but the boy only fearfully said "Eeek, the members increased by a lot!" He then looked towards the remaining member including me. "B-By the way...wh-who are they Buchou?"

"Oh, this is (Y/N) Hyoudou, he's some sort of related to my Peerage because he bears a King Piece. He also the twin of Issei, the Pawn boy of mine." Rias looked at us and pointed while addressing who we are. "Kurumi is his loyal Queen. Asia and Ravel is his Bishop. Yusuke and Raynare here are the Knight. The Rooks are Kokichi and Tyrion. His Pawns are Kalawarner, Mittelt and Pyra. The rest are regular member of ORC Club. They're Dipper, Mabel, Yuki and Orion."

"Nice to meet you, kiddo." I lazily waves my hand at him.

"Please, can we go out?" Rias said gently. "Okay? It's alright for you not to be sealed anymore, you know?"

"Nooooooo!" The boy shook his head. "For me the outside world is impossible! I am scared of the outside! It would only cause trouble for others!"

"...This kid is hopeless..." Bill commented.

Because it seemed like he was showing weakness, Issei got a little pissed off, and stormed over. "Hey, Buchou said to go outside-"

It was the moment Issei was trying to pull her. "Eeeek!" Along with a girly scream, the scenery in fron of us became white. I felt something run through my body. I blinked and looked around, and besides Kurumi and Orion, it seemed like everyone else froze.

"It seems that this boy have power to stop time." Kurumi smiled gently.

"Just like you, am I right?" I simply asked, analyzing the kid once more.

"Well, this is new." Orion said as he look at his arm.

"You can move in time as well, Ori?"

"What can I say, I'm special~"

"Sure you are."

"Yes, it's probably his Sacred Gear." Bill suggested. "The others don't have the power to stop it, but we have the power inside of us to resist the power of the time stop. Kurumi have her Zafkiel power and you have my power. Orion...probably because he's the Son of Gaia...or he have Holy weapon, who knows."

"So, I can stop the time stopping power he has too huh." I turned my eyes towards him, he flinched. So, I adopted a smile. "Hey, it's alright. No one's going to hurt you."

"Eeeeeeeeeeek! Y-You're going to hurt meeeeeeeeeeee! I did something terrible, and now you're to hurt meeeeeeeeeeee! I'm sorry! Don't hurt meeeeeeeee!" He yelled in fear.

I held up my hands, as Kurumi watched on. "Nope, I'm not going to hurt you."

"But I just froze you brother! Please don't be kind to meeeeeeeeeeee!"

I grimaced at the screeching, but edged closer and offered a hand. "It's okay, it wears off right?" The young boy slowly nodded. "Then it isn't a problem. So, what's your name exactly?"

"M-My name is...G-Gasper Vladi..." The boy, now named Gasper shyly answered.

"That's nice name." I budged closer, and bent down towards him, smiling as ever. "You don't have to be afraid. No one's going to hurt you. Issei then wasn't going hurt you, he's just very passionate about RIas, and usually goes the extra mile for her. So, don't worry about that for now, and just enjoy yourself. It must be worrying huh with all these new people suddenly coming here."

"I-It's really scary!"

"Yeah, this world can be scary." I nodded my head, budging even closer and gently sat down before him. "But you don't have to be scared now. We're all good people, we won't hurt you." The boy curiously looked on as I produced a chocolate bar. "Do you like chocolate?"

"Y-Yes!" Gasper replied.

"Here then, have this." I offered the chocolate bar, but the boy looked reluctant. "It's fine, you can have this." The boy was unsure, so I laid it down in front of him, and pushed it closer with his finger. "Please, it's okay."

Shyly, Gasper moved his fingers to touch it. But he stopped and looked at me, who just smiled at her. Seeing that, gave him confidence to take the bar of chocolate, and eat it quickly.

"See, it is okay!" I chuckles slightly. "You can eat now."

Gasper shyly looking at me. Kurumi walked over, and sat on my lap, hugging around my neck. She kissed my cheek while I petted her long black hair. Orion smirked as he laid his back against the wall. But that soon came to an end when the time stop stopped working and released everyone.

"This is strange. " Issei noticed that the Gasper's arm wasn't in his hand anymore. "Something in this moment..."

"...It's certain something happened." As both Asia and Xenovia were surprised by what just happened.

"(Y/N), how did you get there?" Koichi pointed towards us, stunned that I could stop the time stopping and wondered what kind of power I truly possessed. "You really are interesting, kid. Let's fight!"

"No," I quickly replied monotonously as he crouched down.

"D-Damn...not again..."

"Amazing, (Y/N) has surprised me again." Ravel cocked her head, then adopted a small smile on her lips. "To even be able to fight off the time stopping power that Rias' Bishop has been skeptical to discuss, but experiencing it for myself, it does seem time was stopped, and (Y/N) was able to fight that. Simply amazing."

I glanced back at Ravel, who waved happily, she looked even happier than ever before. But Kurumi on the other hand, "How about me, chicken?!" Kurumi hissed in anger.

"What did you say, you gun maniac?!"

"As expected, I've been neglected yet again..." Ori let out a small tear while laughing a little.

"As expected from dear (Y/N), you always surprise me with your amount of power." Rias compliment before puffing her cheek a little as she saw Kurumi sitting on her laps. "Hey, look where you are sitting, Kurumi."

"Shut it, tomato head!" Kurumi stuck her tongue out playfully.

Ara, ara. Seems like (Y/N)-kun is stronger than we thought." Akeno placing a hand on her face happily. "Even surprising us with being able to resist the time stop."

"Time stop!?" Issei exclaimed, incredibly shocked by the reveal. "You mean like (Y/N)'s Queen?!"

"Preach it, pervert." Kurumi put on a smug face as my twin earned a tick mark on his face.

"Alright, everyone calm down." I said with a deadpanned expression on my face. "Everyone don't want nightmare in their dream am I right?"

"Don't get angry! Don't get angry! Please don't hit meeeeeeeeee!" Gasper cried out.

"Damn, this kid ain't alright..." Ori let out a sigh.

"Please don't worry, no one's going to hurt you." I chuckled softly. "I'll make sure that no one does." Gasper's eyes circulated my face as Raynare hugged me from behind, glaring at Kurumi who did the same thing. "Geez, Ray, I only moved a little bit."

"But you suddenly appeared in different place." Raynare pouted before looking at Gasper. "So, time stop then?"

"Time stopping, that's right. Gasper possesses a Sacred Gear that when he's excited, the time of everything in his field of vision can be stopped for a fixed interval of time. But he can't control his Sacred Gear, by orders of Archduke and Great Satan, Sirzechs-sama, he was sealed."

"This boy is Gasper Vladi." Rias then hugged the boy from behind. "He's my bishop. For the time being, he's Kuoh Academy's 1st year. Also, before being reincarnated he was Half-Human, Half-Vampire. And he uses a Sacred Gear known as Forbidden Balor View."

"This is oddly like DIO from Jojo's Bizarre Advanture." I commented with a smile. "So, Forbidden Balor View?"

"Yes, that's the name of the Sacred Gear Gasper possesses. It's very powerful."

"To stop time, isn't that close to breaking the rules?" Issei questioned.

"Yes, that's true." I turned towards him answered. "But your doubling power and Vali's halving power are both against the rules too, you know? All Longinus' Sacred Gears are have hax abilities in one way or another from what I've read anyway."

"T-That's true but...even then, to be able to stop time, you can only ignore rules so much."

"Well, it depends on the person he's using his Sacred Gear on. From the looks of it, he can't freeze people that have either high powers, powers near the power of himself, or people that might have special ways to defend against it."

"As a fellow time manipulator, that is correct!" Kurumi agrees with me.

"I always do enjoy you using your mind, (Y/N)." Ravel smiled kindly, tossing her head to the side. "And that does seem right to me as well."

"The problem is that he's not able to handle it." Rias' eyes focused on everyone around. "Because of that, Gasper had been sealed till now. Unconsciously activating his Sacred Gear was seen as a problem."

"However, you sure were able to make a guy with such a powerful gear into your servant, Buchou. Not to mention, to be able to do it with just one piece." On Issei's words, RIas brings out a book in her hands from midair, flips the pages of the book, and presents it to Issei opened. Looking at it, it was the explanation page for Evil Pieces.

"It's a Mutation Piece." She answered his question.

"...Mutation piece?"

"It's different from the usual Evil Piece," Yuto answers Issei's question. "Bodies that clearly require more than one piece to be reincarnated can be reincarnated in one piece, it's a piece that can make such a phenomenon occur."

"Buchou possessed that piece." Akeno said with a smile.

"Usually, for High Class Devils, 1 in 10 Devils possesses a single piece. It's an irregularity born when the Evil Piece system was created, it's kind of like bug but it seems like it was kept for fun. Gasper-kun is the one who used that piece."

"I was made from such a piece." Ravel revealed, shocking both Issei and I, but Rias turned her head sideways.

"No, you weren't." Rias giggled, Ravel showing an upbeat face.

"I know, I thought it would allow me to bond with the group if I could do something like this and have a joke."

"Why lie? Do you find it funny to lie?"

"I-I wasn't lying, I was having a joke."

"You call that a joke?" Kokichi complained. "Come on, my grandma can do a better joke than that!"

Rias then sighed and continued. "The problem is Gasper's ability."

"What do you, Rias?" I questioned.

"He possess a rare ability and it seems his Sacred Gear's power increases when he's unconscious. Maybe because of that, everyday his power is increasing. From the previous conversation we can say, in the future, there's a possibility he may attain Balance Breaker." A shocked expression later appeared on our face at the idea of Gasper's Sacred Gear becoming stronger.

"So, he automatically became stronger yet he can't control it by himself. Man, this can be a problem." Yusuke put his finger on his chin.

"Yes, it's a critical situation." Rias put her hand on her forehead with a troubled face. "However, because my evaluation was accepted, it seems I was judged that I may be control Gasper now by the people that evaluated me. Maybe because I made Issei and Yuuto attain Balance Breaker."

"Erm, did you? When did you do that?" I spoke up before receiving a glare from Rias. "Forget whatever I just said."

"You gonna sleep on the couch tonight~" Ori teased which I glare at him.

Gasper suddenly dashed to the side of mine, and hid in a cardboard box. "Uh, e-e-even though I don't want you to talk about me..." He spoke from there, looking up with doe eyes to me as I smiled back down towards him. Issei however leaned closer, and kicked it silently. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!"

"Issei, stop picking on Gasper." I scolded him.

"Yeah, not cool." Dipper have the same reaction.

"I'm not picking on her!" Issei complained. "And since when you agree with each other? Last time I remember, you guys want to strangle each other."

Both of Dipper and I widened our eyes in realization before glaring at each other once more.

"Judging by ability, maybe after Akeno he would be next." Rias continues, pushing Dipper away from me. "Even though I say half-vampire, he's from a Pure-Blooded Vampire family with a good lineage, and has a powerful Sacred Gear because of his Human Half. He's well-endowed with abilities of Vampires, and he excels in human magic wielded by wizards as well. If not so, then he probably wouldn't have been made a bishop with just one Evil Piece."

"Buchou, Vampires are weak against the sun, right?" Issei then makes a confused expression on his face. "Is he fine?"

"Well, because of his Human-Half side the sun shouldn't affect him."

"I hate daylight!" Gasper screamed. "It's better if the sun disappeareeeeeeeeeeeeed!"

"You don't attend class right?" I questioned the Vampire in the box. "If you don't control your power and open yourself up then it isn't good, you know?"

"No! I'm fine inside this cardboard box! The air and light of the outside are a natural enemy to meeee! Please let me remain a boy who lives in a cardboard boooooox!"

"Well, at least he's making Kazuma proud while shaming Dio and Alucard for his existence. Also, doesn't he need blood? He's a vampire after all."

"Since he's a half vampire, he doesn't thirst for blood as often." Rias explained. "If you supply the blood for him once every 10 days then there's no problem. Though it seems he originally didn't like drinking blood."

"I hate bloooooooood! I hate fish toooooooo! I hate liver as weeeeeeeell!" Gasper complained.

"What does fish and liver have to do with Vampire's crave for blood?" Tyrion began to sweatdrop. "Geez, he's pathetic. Let just wish that he didn't sparkle in the daylight."

"...A good-for nothing-vampire." Koneko spews out those words. As expected, she doesn't show mercy.

"Geez, woman. Calm down!" I nervously chuckles.

"Uwaaaaaaaah! Koneko-chan is a meanieeeeee!" Gasper started shouting at what she had said.

"For the time being, till I come, Issei, Mikan, Koneko, Xenovia, and (Y/N) I'll leave Gasper's training to you." Rias pushed forward, showing a confident smile. Akeno and I will be going to the meeting place for the top of the 3 Factions. And Yuto, it seems Onii-sama wants to hear in detail about your Balance Breaker so you should accompany us."

"Yes, Buchou." Kiba complied.

I turned towards my Peerage and the others. "Everyone, could you also assist as well?"

"I think that I speak for everyone that we're in." Ori nodded his hand.

"Thank you very much." I fist-bumped the half-Titan with a smirk on my face.

Akeno looking towards the cardboard box on the ground. "Gasper-chan, you should start getting used to the outside, you know?"

"Akeno-nee-samaaaaaaaaa!" Gasper screamed out. "Please don't say stuff like thaaaaaaaaaaaat!"

"Ara ara, that's troubling. I'll leave it to you all."

"This guy is really pathetic...why can't we just change him into Dio Brando already?" Kokichi asked.

"You want to turn this boy into a buff sadistic megalomaniac with an obsession with knives and possibly bisexual that can stop time with ghost guardian while screaming KONO DIO DA and MUDA repeatedly while posing menacingly?" Yusuke asked.

"Yes?"

"Wow, totally a great idea..." The blue-haired half-demon sarcastically replied. "Apparently, you're turning him into (Y/N)."

"I'm more of Giorno Giovanna." I told them. "Part 5 is coming, boys. So, what we gonna do with little Gasper?"

"Yeah. Then, I shall thoroughly discipline him?" As we were leaving, Xenovia pulled out a robe that was attached to Gasper's cardboard box. "A weak man is no good. And also, I wanted to face off with a vampire since childhood. Leave his treatment to me."

"Uh, Xenovia-san...I don't think that you're supposed to actually kill him."

"Eeeeeeeeeek!" Gasper screamed loudly. "N-N-N-No way, I don't want to fight against the user of the Holy Sword Durandaaaaaaaaaaaaal! I-I'll be destroyeeeeeeeee!"

"Don't scream, Gasper." Xenovia reassured him with a stoic expression on her face. "If you like, shall I prepare a cross and holy water, and also attack you with garlic?"

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeee! Garlic, nooooooooo!"

"Shut the fuck up! You making my ears bleed with all your constant screaming." Tyrion yelled at the poor kid and on cue, a lightning struck outside of the clubroom which startled us and also shutting Gasper up as he was hiding in fear.

"What in the-" Issei was flabbergasted by this as he looked at the blonde man. "How did-"

"It just a coincidence. Now let's go...we have no time to waste training that wimpire..." He tucked his hand into his pockets and walked off.

"Xenovia, please be easy on him." I said with concern.

"(Y/N), do not be concerned." Xenovia reassured me. "I'll make sure that this Vampire is in amazing condition."

"Yeah, that's very something I am worried about." I sighed.

[Timeskip]

"Hey, start running. If you're a Daywalker then you should be able to run in the day."

"Eeeeeeeeek! Don't chase me while swinging the Durandaaaaaaaaaaaal!"

"Xeno-chan! Stop chasing Gasper-san right now!"

At the moment everyone went outside, the Vampire was being chased by the Holy Sword wielder Xenovia, and Yuki chasing after her from trying to kill the poor Vampire boy, it just looked scary. Looking from an outsider's perspective, it was completely like a Vampire Hunt. Durandal was also letting out a dangerous sound while emitting a holy aura. Irina's own sword was trying to cut off the young woman's actions, but Xenovia ran fast, so Yuki did the same thing.

Gasper was also desperate in running away. Well that's cause if she catches up, he'll be destroyed in an instant, but it did look like Yuki was trying to protect the young lad.

"Even though he's the same Bishop class as us," Asia looked on at the young Bishop girl, then adopted a small smile alongside Mikan. "It seems Gasper-san truly is different from us, and a chance to meet another Bishop that isn't Ravel-san who already was a Devil beforehand."

"Agreed, I hope that he makes I out okay." Mikan look at with a look of sympathy on her face.

"...Gya-kun, if you eat garlic, you'll become healthy." Koneko started chasing Gasper while holding up garlic in her hand.

"Really?" Mabel tilted her head in confusion. "Vampires eats garlics?"

"No, Mabel...it's quite the opposite clearly..." Dipper said while having a deadpanned expression on his face. "Someone stop them..."

"Nooooooo! Koneko-chan is bullying meeeeeeee!" Gasper cried out loud.

"Oh come, be a man!" Tyrion yelled in anger as he throw an empty glass of water on the floor, smashing it into pieces. "MORE!"

"Oh oh, they're at it." We all turned around and saw Saji wearing a jersey, with cotton gloves and a small shovel in his hand.

"Oh, it's you, Saji." I greeted while looking at the item in his hand. "So, what with the get up?"

"It's as you see. It's the maintenance of the flower bed. It's been President's orders. It's the job of Pawn of the Student Council, me, to make the school look beautiful." He puffs out his chest and act magnificently.

"So, you decide to become a gardener? Good for you." I sarcastically replied.

"I know righ-Hey! Besides, I heard that there was a Hikikomori servant whose ban had been lifted, so I came to see it for a bit."

"Ah, he's over there." Issei answered, pointing his finger at chase scene in front of us. "He's the one getting chased by Xenovia."

"Hey hey, Xenovia-san, she's swinging the Legendary Sword heartily, you know?" Saji felt slightly concerned. "Is it all right? Oh! Wait, it's a girl, huh! Not to mention blond haired!"

"That girl is a cross dressing boy." Both of us twin answered with a stoic expression on our face. At the moment, Saji made a completely shocked expression on his face while I started laughing loudly at his reaction.

After that conversation, there was a presence of someone coming near us. When I moved my gaze to the direction, I saw Azazel coming towards us, wearing a yukata.

"Heh. The servants of Maous' family Devils are playing over here." Azazel smirked.

"Azazel!" Issei exclaimed.

"Yo, my second uncle!" I casually raised my hand towards him.

"L-Lord A-Azazel!" Raynare shouted in fear as well as Kalawarnar and Mittelt. As for the young Lolita wearing girl, she goes straight hiding behind me and began to hug me tightly. I can sense her shivering in fear, possibly scared of the presence of their leader.

"Yo, Welsh Dragon. Dream Demon. It's been some time since that night. And it looks like I saw some familiar faces around here." Azazel observes the former Fallen Angels as they cower in fear.

Xenovia has her sword at the ready. Maybe because she sensed the atmosphere. Asia hides behind Tyrion who stood up with his hand coated with lightning. Issei made his Boosted Gear appear while Gasper hid behind a tree, Koneko sharpening her eyes on what was going on as Kokichi arm coated into blade-shaped ink.

Saji, while also shocked brings out the face of a deformed lizard on his right hand. "Hy-Hyoudou, by Azazel you mean-"

"I am serious, Saji." Issei nodded his head. "I have come in contact with this guy plenty of times."

Azazel chuckled happily towards us but mostly at the one in their battle postures ready. "I don't feel like fighting. Hey, thaw your postures, Low Class Devil-chan. You should somehow know that even with the bunch gathered here, you wouldn't win against me, right? Even I don't plan on bullying low class Devils. Since I was taking a stroll, I came to visit the Devil's place. Is the Holy Demonic sword wielder present? I came to see him as well."

Even though this is what he says, nobody thawed their posture.

"If it's Kiba, then he isn't here!" Issei answered. "If you're aiming for Kiba, then I won't let you do it!"

"He's not gonna fight us." I told them, patting Mittelt's head as she started to calm down a little. "Besides, if we fight him, our chance of winning is 0.0000003%. We're fucked even before we started."

"You forgot to count me in," Orion turned his head at me.

"...0.0001%"

"...You're underestimating me..."

"Meh...If you beat your step-father, then I'll impress..."

"...Shit, you got me there..."

"The Vampire hiding over there." Azazel points to a certain tree. Gasper hiding in the tree shade panicked. "You're the possessor of the Forbidden Balor View, right? If you can't use it properly, then it will become a thing that causes harm to others. As a support type Sacred Gear, if you can supplement the deficient aspects it should be fine but...Now that I mention it, research of Sacred Gears by Devils didn't progress much. If you invoke it via the 5 senses, if the Sacred Gear's owner capacity is insufficient then, it will move naturally, and it will be extremely dangerous." Azazel then turned his attention towards Saji, who jumped slightly. "Is that Absorption Line? If you're practicing, try using it. Connect it to this Vampire, if he invokes it while you're absorbing the Sacred Gear's excess, it would probably run less wildly."

"...M-My Sacred Gear, it can suck the power of the opponents Sacred Gear as well? I thought it simply absorbs the opponent's power and weakens them..." On Azazel's explanation, Saji shows a complex expression as well.

"Seriously, it's because of this that recently the Sacred Gear owners don't try to know the power of their Sacred Gears well enough." Azazel had an amazed expression. "The Absorption Line holds the power of one of the legendary five Dragon Kings, the Prison Dragon, Vritra. Well, this was found out thanks to recent research. That thing can connect to any object, and scatter that power. If it's a short time, it's possible to separate the line from the owner's side, and connect it to some other person or object."

"The-Then, line on my side...for example I can connect it to Hyoudou or some other person? And then the power will flow into Hyoudou?"

"Yeah, if you grow, the number of the lines will also increase. If you do that the output of absorption will increase many times as well."

"..." Saji became quiet, and thought about the Sacred Gear that he had on his hand, probably wondering what he would able to do with it.

Azazel's eyes glanced over all of them, and then fell upon once more, and then Gasper, who flinched. "In improving the Sacred Gear, the fastest way would be to drink the blood of the host of the Welsh Dragon. If you let a Vampire drink blood, then they'll gain power, though (Y/N) could also be a good candidate as well for the blood drinking process. Well, do the rest yourselves."

"That's very generous of you of helping us." I called out. "What's the catch?"

"Nothing. I just want to enjoy my evening with something productive. Besides, you could just help them by yourself, All-Knowing One."

"Wait, what does he means by that?" Issei questioned, turned around towards me.

"Innate capability...He can instantly understand the workings of anything no matter how simple or complex it is. That means everything that I just told earlier, he's one step ahead of me. Am I right?"

"...Correct...It looks like you've been doing some digging. Is it Cass?"

"Dream Angel is a friend of your friend right?"

"I hate that warlock..." Bill scowled with his fist clenched.

"Sorry for Vali." Azazel apologizes. "Our Vanishing Dragon for a coming into contact with you on his own accord. I am sure you would have been surprised, right?"

"No shit Sherlock." I muttered, rolling my eyes.

"He's an unusual guy, but he doesn't think of fighting against the host of the Heavenly Dragon immediately."

"What about you, won't you apologies for coming in contact with me repeatedly without informing me about your identity? What're you even doing here?" Issei demanded.

"Well, that's my hobby." Azazel shrugged his shoulder.

"Then get a new one that doesn't involve with high school boys." I bluntly said with a stoic expression.

"I won't apologize for that, as of why I'm here, I wanted to see the kid with the Holy Demonic Sword. Well now, three of you..." He landed his eyes on the former Fallen Angels. "Never knew you'll end up with the Dream Demon. I must say, you must have a luck with woman."

"You have no idea..."

He then turned his head towards Kokichi and Mikan. "And thank you for taking care of my children. Really appreciated it."

"Wait a minute," My eyes widened as I looked at both of them in shock. "You're Azazel's children?"

Kokichi gritted his teeth. "Just get out of here, Azazel...I don't want to see you anywhere near this us."

"Very well then," Azazel playfully chuckles. "Besides, there's still preparation for the meeting. Ciao~" And that said, he left everyone else there while we were looking at both Kokichi and Mikan, both confused and shocked by the revelation.

"...For the time being, shall I use my Sacred Gear on the new Face-kun over there." Saji quickly changed the subject as it almost turn awkward for all of us. "In that state, let's try using his Sacred Gear and practice. In exchange for that, next time, I will have you help me out with the flower bed!"

"That's what you call sincerity?" I shouted in anger.

Saji then activated his Sacred Gear and connected it's tongue to Gasper's head, sucking out the excess power from him. Everyone there started training Gasper in using his Sacred Gear by throwing volleyballs towards him and having him stop them in midair before they fell on the ground. And we continued training him.

Come on, you expect this coming.
