After Azazel has gone. I, Rias, and Saji were in the training ground.
"Saji-kun. Thanks for going out of your way to keep my servants company. You have my thanks."
The bastard Saji, after making Rias say her thanks, goes red in the face.
"It's alright. You're Kaichou's precious friend, and I saw some new possibilities regarding the Sacred Gear. But I have to work on the flower bed as well, so..."
Saji is a good guy after all. His mouth is bad, but he kept us company for quite some time.
"Later, Hyoudou. Work hard."
"Yeah, thanks."
After I said my thanks as well, Saji left the place.
After sending Saji off, Rias said to Gasper, who was resting in the shade of a tree.
"Gasper, you can still continue on, right? After getting sucked by Saji-kun, your power has been regulated to a perfect level; for the remaining time, I will also keep you company in the training."
"I-I'll do my besttttttt."
At Rias's voice, while exhausted, Gasper stood up as well.
Alright. I'll keep him company to the end as well today!
Like this, Gasper's Sacred Gear practice continued till the night.
•••
The night of the next day.
I was doing my devil work. Even now I can't teleport via the magic circle to the human client's place, but the job itself is going flawlessly.
The meeting of the top 3 forces is approaching as well, but we servants have to keep on doing our job properly. Since two Maous who are at the top of the industry are in the same city, we can't do our jobs as we please.
"Huh? It's you today, Ise-kun?"
Is what the young man who is the client tonight said. Morisawa says in a disappointed manner while dropping his shoulders.
He's Koneko-chan's customer and my customer as well. Tonight it's my turn. Morisawa's gaze suddenly turns downwards. It seems he's worried about the object kept on my side.
A large cardboard box was kept beside me.
"What's that?"
"This is a talking cardboard box."
[Bam.] If I kick the cardboard box lightly, then from the inside you can hear a scream, "Eeeeeeek."
Yes, it's Gasper, the box-habituating boy. Since Rias and the rest said to take him alongside for the devil jobs for the time being, I brought this specially by fastening it on my bicycle's back seat and pedaling till here, you know? I feel like crying. To be honest, he'll be of use in only a subtle way, but as long as he doesn't interfere, then it's all right. I'll keep the cardboard box here.
"What? What? What's inside it?"
Is what Morisawa said while having come close before I noticed it! Suddenly, he opens the lid of the cardboard box.
Idiot.
"..."
"..."
Gasper and Morisawa's eyes meet.
"Fue..."
People with anthropophobia, if they're stared at by people, then they become teary-eyed, right? Gasper, bear with it a bit.
"It appears like a bishoujo by just looking at it, but in fact he's a boy. He has a hobby of wearing girl's clothes."
I also give a follow-up explanation for the time being. If he knows that it's a boy beforehand, then the damage he gets would be less as well. Morisawa grabs both of my shoulders strongly and says,
"This cute a kid—there's no way it can be a girl! It's the best that he's a booooooooooooooooooy!"
------!
What's with that insistent voice? Eh? Is it all right with him being a boy? Seriously! His eyes are glittering!
"Now, come out! Onii-san isn't scary, you know? Let's do fun things together!"
Morisawa talks to Gasper with his breath coming out from his nostrils roughly. His speech and conduct are that of a pervert!
"Uuuuwaaaaaah... Sob..."
The person in question, Gasper, is trembling. He seems scared. That's natural. Even I am scared of the Morisawa right now. WHAT THE FUCK? DUDE.
He's twitching all 5 fingers of both hands; Morisawa's hands reach towards Gasper.
"Nooooooooooooooo!"
Gasper's scream----. For a moment, my senses get stopped.
...
When I realized it, the cardboard box next to me had disappeared.
"??????"
Morisawa also couldn't understand what had happened to him.
It's the stoppage of time. Gasper must have gotten excited and invoked his sacred gear unconsciously.
I and Morisawa both had our times stopped for a fixed interval. Surveying the room, the cardboard box had moved to the corner. You ran over there, huh? I approach him and talk to the closed cardboard box.
"Gasper, sorry. Morisawa was a bit scary, right?"
"Sob... Fueeeeee."
He cried. I'm beaten. Like this, he won't be of use in the job.
"I stopped it again... Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot... I am an idiot. Stopping isn't good... even though I don't want to stop..." Is that dude chanting magic or something?
Sigh.
Gasper... since you were entrusted to me by Rias, I have to do something.
However, once Gasper became frightened, he wasn't able to do anything. Me too; I couldn't say anything to him at that point.
