章 24: Scary trap

Alex returned to the dorm with everyone, and Akeno and Asia started cooking dinner for Rias's family while her father got to know Alex a little better. Alex swiftly apologized like he did with Sirzechs, and once the conflicting topics were over with he got along with Zeoticus pretty well. They chatted for a while, and Alex had to explain about how he couldn't meet with his parents due to him cutting contact in order to protect them. It was partially correct, as he didn't want the people who raised him in this life to suffer even though he didn't consider them his real parents. After visiting for a while Zeoticus left with his son and Grayfia, and the day ended without further incident.

The next day they were in front of a door with seals on it, as they were about to open it. Behind the door was Gasper Vladi, a half vampire that was turned into Rias's bishop. Alex wasn't too sure of the half vampire, due to the fact that his sacred gear was actually a potential Longinus. He got chills when he read about Gasper truly using his power for the first time. As expected when Rias opened the door the room was dark and a sudden shout rang out,

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I DON'T WANT TO COME OUT!! LEAVE ME IN HERE WITHOUT PEOPLE!!!!" Alex knew to expect it, but it was still shocking to see him in person. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have anything against Gasper, he might've tried pawning him onto issei for the laughs. The trap coward in the corner away from everyone while Rias tried to comfort him.

"You don't have stay here anymore, we have some new friends now." But of course Gasper wouldn't budge on staying here as a shut in. He then fled to a cardboard box. After a bit of conversation, they were now watching Xenovia and Koneko chase Gasper with durandal and garlic. Alex was trying not to laugh at the situation while Asia looked upset at the other bishop. When Alex thought of that, he wondered what Rias thought of it since she was also a bishop now? It was during this time that a cool looking man walked over and started asking them.

"Hey this is the Gremory peerage right? Is the holy demonic sword user here right now?" Everyone looked confused until Alex said,

"It's Azazel right? Nice to meet you." Once the name Azazel came out of his mouth, everyone got into a battle stance while Alex was still standing there. Azazel was looking surprised however, Alex didn't think he'd ever get tired of just knowing things about people already. Alex then walked up Azazel with mock irritation,

"So quick question, why is it I always seem to have fallen angels trying to kill me? First four of your people tried to kill me and the twilight healing user Asia, then Kokabiel tried to kill all of us." As he spoke Alex took out the feathers he had collected from those he killed. Seeing the feathers Azazel looked unbothered, and said,

"I didn't tell them to kill you, just to watch over you so that you didn't become a threat. And didn't you already solve the issue with Kokabiel, I even sent Vali but you already resolved it." Alex was actually just going through the motions, but he needed something from Azazel so he pushed the subject.

"That doesn't change the fact that several people were going to suffer and die due to your negligence with your people. I believe I'm owed a favor for cleaning up your messes." Azazel sighed as he knew he wouldn't get out of this and said,

"Depends on the favor, tell me first and I'll decide." Alex already knew what he needed and said,

"I want you to build me a pair of glasses and contacts that filter out moonlight." Azazel was confused at the weird request, as he didn't know what Alex had against moonlight of all things. Alex however was wanting this for quite a while, since he wouldn't be able to participate whenever there was a battle during the full moon. He even still had his tail wrapped around his waist, he still couldn't believe that Akeno and Xenovia never asked about it.

"What do you need protection against moonlight for?" Azazel asked out of curiosity. Alex however shook his head and said,

"I don't need to answer your question, I'll just consider past conflicts square with this." Azazel sighed, it wouldn't take much work to use an item with the function of filtering sunlight they were working on, and modify it for moonlight. But while he wouldn't tamper with the products to test him, he would keep and eye on him. He then left after mentioning using Alex's blood, and Gaspers training continued. Alex already knew about the blood, but was hesitant about it.

He wasn't just a dragon and devil, he also had Saiyan blood, what would happen if Gasper drank it? He was curious, but also knew he needed to be cautious at the same time.
