Harem Daily Life in High School DxD

But she still stared at Kuroba with a somewhat sullen expression, and her eerie and resentful gaze made Kuroba feel a little embarrassed.

"Gaspar...why are you looking at me like that..."

"Hmph, Kuroba is a big liar!"

Gaspar snorted angrily when he saw Kuroba speak.

"I'm not lying to you, I really was thinking about something just now."

"I don't believe it! Kuroba, you just tricked me out and then abandoned me, you know that! I felt it just now! Durandal almost slashed at me!!"

At this point, a strange smile appeared on Kuroba's lips.

"But Gaspar, haven't you noticed something?"

"Wha...what?"

"You were being chased for so long, but you didn't seem to lose control or accidentally use your time-stopping ability, did you?"

"Hey??"

After Kuroba reminded her, Gaspar belatedly realized that it seemed to be true what he said. There hadn't been a single time stop during all that time, even though she was terrified just now.

Gaspar touched his body strangely, wondering what had happened to him.

"Black...Black Feather? I...Is my ability gone?? Otherwise, why didn't my time-stop ability trigger?"

Kuroba looked at the panicked Gaspar with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you think of something positive? What if you've gradually gained control over your artifact?"

"No...impossible. My artifact has been getting stronger as I've grown up. I've tried for a long time but couldn't control it. How could it suddenly become controllable?"

Kuroba thought back for a moment, and if there was anything that had changed in Gaspar...

"Could it be... my blood?"

Gaspar was also stunned.

"Want to try again?"

Kuroba made a suggestion.

Chapter 102 The Promise with Gaspar

Gaspar was momentarily tempted by Kuroba's suggestion, but she quickly came to her senses.

She shook her head vigorously, looking at Kuroba with suspicion in her eyes.

"I don't want to. I suspect you have ulterior motives."

Kuroba looked at Gaspar with a greatly shocked expression.

"How could you think of me like that? I was just trying to help you experiment, and I was the one being drained of blood!"

"That's true... but I'm afraid I'll lose control again if I drink your blood... that would be too embarrassing..."

Gaspar hid to the side, fidgeting and blushing as he looked at Kuroba, the meaning of which was quite obvious.

After Gaspar said that, Kuroba remembered what had happened. The feeling of that snow-white skin and soft body still lingered in Kuroba's mind, making him swallow hard.

"See! Kuroba, you were indeed thinking about bad things!"

Gaspar pointed at Kuroba and shouted as if he had discovered evidence.

Holy crap, I got caught just for thinking about it?

Kuroba felt embarrassed to stay in this place any longer, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Haha... Gaspar, you must be tired today too, right? Get some rest, I'll come see you again tomorrow..."

"Snapped..."

Gaspar ran over and grabbed Kuroba's hand. Kuroba tilted his head slightly and looked at Gaspar with some confusion.

"Could you... stay and chat with me tonight...?"

Gaspar lowered her head slightly and let out a shy, mosquito-like voice.

"Aren't you afraid I'll do something?"

"I am afraid... but I didn't say I was unwilling..."

Kuroba was stunned.

Gaspar?

Do you know what you're saying? It's practically telling me to come and commit a crime, and that I'm ready.

wrong.

Looking into Gaspar's eyes, Kuroba noticed that although her face was flushed, her eyes were clear and bright, showing no sign of having any strange thoughts.

It seems... like they really just want to chat?

Kuroba silently slapped himself in the face, then casually sat down on the ground.

"Okay! I'll keep you company tonight."

Upon hearing Kuroba's agreement, Gaspar was overjoyed and rummaged through drawers and cabinets, pulling out a huge pile of snacks and piling them in front of Kuroba.

"Hehehe, eat as much as you want! I have plenty of these, they were all sent to me by my employers who were satisfied with my contracts."

Looking at the mountain of snacks, Kuroba had already grasped Gaspar's business capabilities.

But this only made him more curious.

"Gasper, can I ask you a question?"

Gaspar casually opened a bag of snacks, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded with his mouth bulging.

"Well, you said."

"Since you are so skilled in your work, why are you so afraid of humans?"

When Kuroba asked that question, there was a noticeable pause in the air, indicating that Gaspar's emotions were beginning to fluctuate wildly.

Kuroba shook his head repeatedly.

"Sorry, please pretend I didn't ask, calm down."

At this moment, Gaspar's pupils appeared somewhat vacant and were trembling, as if he were recalling something unpleasant.

But she didn't stop her memories, perhaps because this was Kuroba's question. She took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and then spoke.

"Kuroba...you should know I'm a vampire, right?"

"Yes, Rias said that."

A bitter smile appeared on Gaspar's face.

"But actually, I'm a half-vampire..."

This result was unexpected by Kuroba, but thinking about it, it makes sense. If Gaspar were a pure-blooded vampire, he probably wouldn't have become Rias's familiar...

"My mother is human, and my father is a vampire. My existence was purely due to their impulsive relationship. Although my father treated me well and even took us back to his family, because of my identity as an illegitimate child who couldn't be openly acknowledged, my older brothers and sisters in the family always bullied me. After my mother died, my father was forced by pressure to expel me from the family. Coming to the human world, I experienced the evil of humanity even more. No matter where I hid or how I tried to avoid it, I would still be bullied by humans..."

As he said this, Gaspar smiled while two pitiful tears streamed down his face.

"Starving and freezing, my body covered in wounds, just when I thought I was about to die and couldn't hold on any longer, Rias appeared. She gently stroked my face, and I felt a warm sensation from her. So, naturally, I became her familiar. But it seems my reincarnation didn't go smoothly; I barely succeeded by using a mutated chess piece..."

Kuroba listened to Gaspar's past with mixed feelings on his face, and he couldn't help but pull Gaspar into his arms.

"I don't know how to comfort you, but that's all in the past. Now you have Rias, everyone, and me. We are all your friends and your companions. If anyone dares to bully you again, I'll be the first to beat them up!"

Kuroba made a fighting motion, then looked at Gaspar with a gentle smile.

"Moreover, you now possess powerful abilities to protect yourself, and if you can control them well, you can protect not only yourself but also us. Gaspar is incredibly capable!"

"Really...really?"

Gaspar looked at Kuroba with teary eyes, his expression one of disbelief.

"Of course! I really like Gaspar, and I absolutely won't tolerate anyone bullying you."

I like it!

Kuroba's words made Gaspar's face turn as red as a ripe apple, and Kuroba could feel her heart pounding rapidly as their bodies were pressed together.

"Uh... Gaspar? What's wrong? Your heart is beating really fast. Are you feeling unwell?"

Gaspar could only bury his face in Kuroba's arms.

You even asked me what was wrong? It's all because you, Kuroba, said such strange things... Seriously, you idiot!

"No...it's nothing, I'm just a little touched."

Gaspar suppressed his inner turmoil and gave Kuroba a perfunctory reply.

"Oh... I see. Gaspar, now that you're out of quarantine, it's time to get used to life outside the room, okay?"

"I still can't do it. The outside world is still terrifying... Humans are horrifying."

Gaspar's body began to tremble, and he shook his head, shrinking back.

"But I'm human too, are you afraid of me?"

"I..."

Gaspar looked awkwardly at Kuroba, staring into his deep pupils.

"I'm not afraid..."

Upon hearing this, Kuroba tightened his grip on Gaspar's arm.

"That's fine then. I'll go with you. We'll get used to it together and learn how to control the artifact together, okay?"

Gaspar hesitated for a long time before finally choosing to look up at Kuroba.

"it is good..."

Chapter 103 No, stop... don't stop

As Gaspar agreed, the atmosphere gradually became quiet and ambiguous.
