"Gasper, please come out. It's my fault for pushing you into going with Ise."
Buchou was apologizing in front of the door of Gasper's room.
"I thought that if you worked with Ise, it may be for your benefit as well....."
Well, that is what happened with the original Issei. But I am not the original issei.
"Fueeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
Gasper, who had locked himself in the old school building, could be heard crying loudly to the point of dying.
He hates people, he can't control his sacred gear and causes trouble to people; it seems his worries are complex. No, before that, Morisawa, that dude, was disgustingly scary. That's for sure.
If I remember right.
Gasper's father is from a noble family of vampires, but since his mother was a human mistress, he wasn't pure-blooded. They hate those who are not pure bloods even more than devils; the vampires scorn those who are not pure bloods, and even if it's their sibling, their treatment is discriminatory.
Gasper was bullied by his siblings since childhood; even when he went to the human world, he was treated as a monster. He had no place he could call home.
However, he possesses the unique abilities of vampires and the ability as a human—a special sacred gear—since he was born with both of them, even if he didn't want to. As he grows older, his powers will also become greater.
I didn't know if this was true or not. I remember reading about Gasper in my previous life.
Even if he wants to become friends, sometimes by some chance his sacred gear gets activated, and it will stop the other person.
Personally, I think it is a wonderful ability. As he can just use it to disappear from the sight of someone he doesn't like.
Regretfully, he is not me.
"I-I...don't need such sacred gear! B-Because I stop everyone! I scare them! I make them dislike me! Even I dislike it! I don't want to stop my f-friends and c-comrades.... Any more of having to look at the face of my cherished ones stopped... I-I don't want that..."
Gasper is sobbing inside the room.
He was chased out of his house as well; in any world Gasper wasn't able to live, he was troubled by the roadside. At that time he was targeted by vampire hunters and lost his life once. It seems he was picked up by Buchou there.
However, in those days, Gasper, who was endowed with a powerful power, couldn't be controlled by Buchou and was ordered to be sealed by the higher-ups. And then, his seal has been lifted now.
"What a quandary... For making this kid shut himself in once again... I am a failure as a king."
Buchou is depressed. Buchou isn't wrong. Gasper isn't wrong either.
"Buchou, isn't your meeting with Sirzechs-sama and the others in a short while from now?"
"Yes, but I will extend the time a bit more. I have to make sure that Gasper is all right first."
"Please leave the rest to me. I will do something about it."
On my suggestion Buchou also couldn't object strongly. Since the meeting is important as well.
In the canon, Issei was only able to convince Gasper through his perverted talk. But thankfully, I am not a pervert. So I need to think of another way to convince Gasper out of his cocoon.
After all, he is the main star in the three-fraction summit.
The bosses of the three great powers are going to assemble. That setting is important. But I am more focused on the Holy Sword, which I can get through Angel Michael.
I may have lost the fuse, Excalibur, but no matter the cost, I am not going to lose the Dragon Slayer Holy Sword.
"It's all right. I finally got a male kouhai! I will do something about it!"
"Ise. All right, I got it. Can I count on you?"
"Yes!"
After hearing my vigorous response, Buchou nodded with a smile.
Buchou glanced at Gasper's room once and left this place.
After seeing Buchou off, I took a deep breath and sat in front of the door.
"Till you come out, I won't move one step from here!"
I thought of a lot, but for me, I can only do this! Sit down! Plain and simple! I think that since ancient times this is the best thing that works against people who shut themselves in! I don't know what his favorite subject is, nor am I a charismatic talker.
It's a battle of endurance. With that, I furiously remained seated for an hour, but there was no change. There is no sign of him coming out either.
Fuck..., I shouldn't have taken this job.
... Just sitting quietly like this isn't going to help, huh? While feeling that, I tried talking to him.
"...Are you scared? Of the sacred gear...and of us?"
"....."
I talk across the door.
"I also possess a sacred gear in which the strongest dragon resides. However, my life was not as amazing as yours, who was a vampire, or like Kiba's. I was a normal male high school student."
Issei was a normal high school student, so there is no lie.
"I... to be honest, am scared."
{Bullshit. I never seen you scared.} Ddraig commented. {Even when you are about to kiss death.}
Shut up. Ddraig. I need to get to him.
Then I continue. "While using the dragon's powers, I feel that some part of my body is changing into something else. I don't know much about devils right now either, nor about what a dragon is. However, I feel like I want to proceed further."
"Why? Maybe you may lose something important, you know? Why do you, Senpai, want to live such a straightforwardlife so much...?"
"Oh," he replied. That's good. He's hearing my story then. But, that question is troubling... Can't say my psychotic self wants that.
"Because it's fun."
