....

Seeing Rias leave, I smiled and walked over to the cardboard box.

"Hehehe~ Gasper, come on out. Let your senpai give you some proper training!"

"!!!"

"Tr-training?!"

"Nooooooooo! I want to stay in here! I don't want to go outside! I don't want to see anyone!!"

Hearing my words, Gasper was terrified.

Hearing Gasper's pathetic cries, Koneko and Kiba seemed to recall being on the receiving end of my "training." They couldn't help but shudder.

"Kyoya, let me handle this cowardly vampire. A boy shouldn't be so weak. I'll take care of it."

"After all, I am an expert at dealing with vampires!"

Seeing how weak Gasper was, Xenovia grabbed him and pulled him out of the cardboard box.

——

"Nooooo—!!! Stoooop!"

Before long, in a clearing outside the Occult Research Club, a series of delicate screams could be heard.

Gasper was running and crying, while Xenovia chased after him, Durandal in hand, constantly urging him on.

"Cowardly vampire, Don't dawdle! Hurry up and run! Do you want to become Durandal's next meal?!"

Everyone present: "!!!"

Pfft!

They hadn't expected Xenovia's so-called "expert methods" to involve chasing someone with a holy sword.

'Are you sure you're trying to train him, Xenovia? It looks like you're trying to kill him!'

As the sun set, a Holy Sword wielder was chasing a vampire around the old school building. and Gasper ran for his life, tears streaming down his face.

What a lovely scene!

Eventually, Gasper collapsed under a large tree, tears streaming down his face, looking utterly pathetic.

"Waaah~ Why are you doing this to me~?"

Xenovia planted Durandal into the ground and declared firmly, "A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. So, you need to be physically fit."

After saying that, Xenovia smiled, as if she were quite pleased with herself.

"Um, Xenovia seems to be having a lot of fun!"

Kiyome couldn't help but comment.

Seeing this, Asia chuckled awkwardly. "Well... it seems Xenovia-san enjoys a bit of S play..."

Hearing Asia's words, I was taken aback.

Thinking back to when I had fought Xenovia, I hadn't realized she had that kind of preference. But it seemed the roles were reversed now.

Suddenly, Koneko approached Gasper and, with a straight face, took out an item and handed it to him.

"G-Gasper, here~ Eat this, and you'll feel better right away."

Seeing the garlic in Koneko's hand, Gasper was so scared he almost started crying, screaming loudly, "Noooo! I hate garlic the most!"

While Asia and the others were happily watching Koneko chase Gasper around, I suddenly stopped them.

Seeing Gasper looking so utterly broken, I felt a little sorry for him.

Then, I remembered what Azazel had said in the original story, a method that could help Gasper control that dangerous Sacred Gear.

All he needed to do was drink dragon blood. But my blood was even more potent than that of the Red Dragon Emperor.

So I cut my hand, collected some of my blood, and then approached Gasper.

"Gasper, if you want to master the power of your Sacred Gear, drink this dragon blood."

"Only then will you no longer lose control of your power. And that way, you can use your power to help Rias and become our companion, Gasper!"

Hearing my words, Gasper was stunned. He looked up at me, and recalling the time when Rias had taken him in, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Kyoya-senpai... I, I don't want to be so weak anymore! I also want to help Rias-buchou!"

Then, Gasper took the blood from me and drank it.

——

Meanwhile, I activated my [Rinnegan] and suppressed the other personality within Gasper's body.

Because I knew that Gasper wasn't just a vampire, or a human. He was the reincarnation of a fragment of the consciousness of the Celtic god, Balor.

There was another personality within Gasper. He was not a vampire but an embodiment of the concept of [Darkness]. Due to the influence of the Evil God, Balor, this personality had formed within Gasper during his birth.

When this personality awakened, Gasper would transform into a growing darkness, producing shadow creatures, silently devouring his enemies.

This other personality was violent and sadistic, although it could still distinguish between friend and foe. But just in case, I decided to help Gasper suppress it completely.

——

That evening, in the Occult Research Club, Rias looked at Gasper, now wearing a boy's uniform, and smiled with satisfaction.

"As expected of Kyoya. You managed to 'reform' Gasper in just half a day."

As for training Gasper, I just shrugged. It wasn't exactly a challenge.

But then I saw Akeno's gloomy expression and wondered what had happened.

"Akeno, you look a little down."

Akeno's expression stiffened, and she didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Rias explained. It seemed that during their discussion about the Three Faction Peace Conference, something Azazel had said had triggered some unpleasant memories for Akeno.

So that's it!

Hearing Rias' explanation, I understood. It seemed Akeno was thinking about her parents.

Then, I embraced Akeno and whispered in her ear, "Akeno, let me help you. How about we go on a date tomorrow? Just the two of us?"

Hearing my words, Akeno's expression became complicated. After struggling internally for a moment, her eyes finally softened. "That sounds wonderful~ Thank you, Kyoya."

With that, Akeno looked at me, her eyes filled with affection.

I was stunned, completely captivated by Akeno's gaze.

Seeing my reaction, Akeno wrapped her arms around my arm, her ample bosom pressing against me, and smiled. "Ara~ Kyoya looks so adorable like this."

Seeing this scene, Rias immediately became jealous. "Hmph! Akeno, don't try to seduce Kyoya. He's my fiancé, Though, just this once, I'll let it slide!"

Hearing Rias's words, Akeno simply giggled in response. "Then I'll have to thank you, Rias-buchou. So, Kyoya, let's start our date tomorrow!"
