Delinquent Dragon

Bishop and Gift

"I'm guessing the dark overlord known as your final Bishop is getting released, right?" Keiji asked, arms in his pockets while he and the others stood in anticipation, especially him, Xenovia and Asia. "Looks like you're going to have a partner in arms," Keiji said to Asia, who smiled back.

"For it to be heavily guarded like this, I wonder what they are like?" Xenovia questioned, looking at the yellow tape sprawled over it as well as the large chain and padlocks.

"You'll find out soon enough. This person is one of the highest earners, though it's usually done by computer," Rias explained, releasing the seal as the chain came and broke.

With the door opened, the others came in as they looked to see a coffin. "What was that?!" the person screamed from the suffocating sleeping place.

Keiji covered his ears in minor annoyance. "So damn loud."

Rias removed the coffin. "Come on, you can get out now."

"But I don't want to! I hate going outside!" the girly voice shouted out.

Everyone got a look at the androgynous-looking person, with platinum blond hair and pinkish-violet eyes. Their hair is styled in short bob cut with several small fringes over their forehead, and they have pointed ears.

"A girl, huh? But what's with the whole coffin deal, Rias?" Keiji asked, only to perk up at Yuuto's sudden laughing. "Did I say something wrong?"

Akeno smiled as she moved to Keiji's side. "That's a he," she explained.

Keiji took a moment to comprehend that fact. He had been bamboozled so hard. "Oh, my bad, I guess. But there was no way I could have known that. I feel a bit silly."

Rias gave the now identified boy a hug. "This is Gasper Vladi. He was a half-human, half-vampire before becoming a devil, too."

"Please stop touching me!" he bashfully begged.

Keiji sighed as he crouched down. "Why is he so scared?" Keiji asked, waving his hand in front of the nervous lad. "Being cooped up in there must have made you all stiff, you need help getting out?" Keiji asked, making skin contact with Gasper.

Fear crept up onto his face, and he vanished from the face of the coffin. "D-don't touch me like that," Gasper announced, now sealed in a cardboard box in the corner.

"What is this? That TIME I got reincarnated as a cross-dressing vampire. Let's just hope that he doesn't despise a bunch of people with star-shaped birthmarks."

Rias smiled at the reference but moved on from that. "This is what I mean, Keiji. That was his Sacred Gear, Forbidden Balor View. It allows him to stop time from whatever he views. But he kept on growing more and more powerful, so it was decided he'd be sealed."

"Isn't that a bit cruel?" Keiji asked.

"He had no problem with it but I understand you point. I don't like it either, knowing I can't be there for a member of my Peerage. In any case, me and Akeno have to be going, so I hope you can help Gasper a bit with controlling his power."

"I mean, I'm not sure"—Rias was already leaving through a portal with Akeno, the Queen giving a shake of her plump ass right before she disappeared—"or you can just ignore me, too," Keiji finished up, sighing. He turned his attention to Gasper. "What am I even going to do?" Keiji asked.

Getting Gasper outside. Already one miracle. Instructed to help his power, Keiji watched with a deadpan expression as Xenovia waved Durandal with fanatic passion towards the running devil dhampir. 'Impressive he can steal run while being cooped up.'
