....
"After Gasper's abilities were discovered, the higher-ups in the Underworld deemed him too dangerous, as his power was uncontrollable. So they ordered Gasper to be sealed."
"But my power is more than enough to manage Gasper now, even with the seal."
Rias led the way, explaining the situation to me, Xenovia, Irina, and Kiyome.
Soon, under Rias's guidance, the group arrived at a room at the end of a hallway. The door was plastered with white seals bearing magical inscriptions.
"Here we are!"
Then, Rias waved her hand, and a crimson magic circle appeared, instantly dissolving the seals. We pushed open the door and entered.
——
The room was a bit dim, but it was surprisingly clean and tidy.
"Huh? There's no one here?" Kiyome looked around the room but didn't see anyone.
"Hey~ Gasper, come out and meet our new companions!"
Rias walked over to a coffin in the corner, looking a bit exasperated.
"Nooooooooo! I want to stay inside forever! I don't want to go outside and meet people!!!"
A soft, delicate voice, with a distinctly feminine quality, suddenly came from within the coffin.
"Cowardly vampire, hurry up and come out to meet our new companions." Koneko said, yanking the coffin lid open, a hint of annoyance in her tone.
We peered inside. There, in the red coffin, was a "beautiful Loli" with golden-blonde hair, ruby eyes, and delicate features, very doll-like.
However, at this moment, Gasper was wearing the Kuoh Academy girls' uniform, his hands hugging his head, as he cowered weakly in the coffin, trembling.
"Wow~ She's a cute girl, and she's also blonde!" Asia exclaimed in surprise when she saw Gasper's appearance.
"Hmm~ She is indeed adorable!" Xenovia and Kiyome nodded in agreement.
Gasper personality seemed similar to Asia's, timid and soft-spoken. A perfect little loli!
"Hmph~ Although Gasper looks like a cute loli, he's actually a boy." I explained to the three who were still in the dark.
"....."
The three girls, who had been admiring Gasper, were stunned into silence, their eyes widening in disbelief.
"Ahhhhh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Waaaaah!!!"
Gasper, startled, let out a high-pitched scream.
"A b-boy?"
Asia stared blankly at Gasper, hiding in the corner, instantly doubting her hearing.
"B-but he looks just like a cute girl! How can this be?!"
Kiyome was also dumbfounded.
"Heh~ Really, Rias-buchou? A boy who's cuter than a girl?! And he's wearing a girl's uniform!"
Even the experienced expert Xenovia was taken aback, muttering in disbelief.
"Gasper is indeed a boy. It's just that he has a thing for cross-dressing." Rias explained, though she was still curious how I had known Gasper was a boy at first glance.
"Ara~ How disappointing. I didn't get to see Kyoya's surprised and troubled expression! But it's no surprise that Kyoya could tell Gasper was a boy at a glance."
Akeno maintained her usual smiling expression, but her tone was a little disappointed.
Koneko and Kiba, seeing that they didn't get to witness my reaction, also looked a little disappointed.
At this, I looked speechless, then I glared fiercely at the mischievous Akeno and the two accomplices.
——
Then, Rias turned to introduce Gasper to the new girls.
Gasper actually came from a vampire family. He was a half-vampire, born to a vampire and a human.
Because he was born with the extremely dangerous Sacred Gear—[Forbidden Balor View]—which could stop the time of people or objects, he was feared and ostracized by his family.
Unable to control his unstable Sacred Gear, Gasper fled the vampire territory and lived briefly in human society. But he was still treated as a dangerous monster. Desperate, he was found by Rias, who used a Mutant Piece to reincarnate him as her Bishop.
Rias gently stroked Gasper's head, her tone filled with sympathy.
"Because of his past experiences, Gasper is quite timid and easily frightened!"
Hearing Rias's words, Xenovia and the others felt sympathy for this cowardly vampire.
"P-please don't look at me like that...!"
Suddenly being stared at by so many people, Gasper trembled, fear growing in his heart.
In an instant, his eyes turned blood-red, and the powerful Sacred Gear, Forbidden Balor View, activated out of control.
"...."
Except for me, everyone's eyes went blank...
After a long while, when everyone came to, they found Gasper hiding in a cardboard box, trembling.
"Just now... it seemed like time stopped? Is this the power of Forbidden Balor View? As expected of a high-tier Sacred Gear," the recovered Xenovia murmured.
Rias, hearing this, also felt a little helpless.
"Sigh, it's because of situations like this that Onii-sama had me seal this child away. But now, Gasper is still..."
Just then, I suddenly interrupted their conversation.
"No, no, no~ You're all wrong! Gasper's Sacred Gear isn't Forbidden Balor View. What he possesses is one of the thirteen [Longinus - Aeon Balor (The Evil-Eyed King Who Dominates the Space and Time)]."
The room fell silent.
Then, Rias stared at me, her eyes wide, and asked in a shocked tone, "Kyoya, are you sure? Gasper's Sacred Gear is a Longinus?!"
Even Akeno beside her was shocked. "A Longinus? But even Sirzechs-sama couldn't figure it out back then. Kyoya, are you sure?"
Even the others in the room were stunned to hear this.
"Yes! I'm absolutely certain. And the ability to stop time is only one of its powers!" I said firmly.
Hearing this, Rias couldn't help but smile wryly.
She was happy that her peerage member possessed a Longinus-level Sacred Gear, but she was also exasperated because Gasper couldn't control it yet, and he was so timid and fragile.
After a moment, Rias composed herself. She looked at Gasper, who was hiding in the cardboard box. "Akeno and I need to prepare for the Peace Conference between the Three Factions. And I must inform Onii-sama about Gasper's Longinus."
"So I'm entrusting you with this, Kyoya. Please help me 'reform' Gasper!"
For this, Rias turned to look at me, requesting my help.
"Hehe~ No problem. I'm an expert at this sort of thing."
I smiled, my interest piqued.
Even if Rias hadn't asked, I would have helped Gasper become a proper man.
After all, I had already seen the task notification from the system. Gasper had a Red gift bag waiting for me.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you, Kyoya. Akeno, let's go. We have a lot to prepare."
Hearing my words, Rias said and called Akeno, and then they left the room.
