Chapter 155 - First step

Tatsuya then looked at the others and said, "What?"

Rias whose hands were still stretched out folded her hands and asked, "How is it that you two are this close to each other?"

Both Tatsuya and Gasper smiled and said, "Whenever I get bored and wants to skip classes I come to the ORC."

Gasper then said, "And once Tatsuya-senpai entered my room and slowly and slowly we started playing games together and became good friends."

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Yeah, he is just like my little brother."

"Gasper still smiled and said, "Yeah and the snacks that Senpai makes are really delicious they are even better than the ones I used to eat."

Hearing that Rias ears twitched and she said, "Surely you jest Gasper those snacks that I order for you are all imported and are of really high quality."

Gasper looked at her with a confused expression and said, "I don't know about that but when compared to Senpai's food, they will only taste ordinary."

Hearing that Rias's lips twitched and she was about to say something but before she was able to say something Kiba nodded and said, "I know right, the food he prepares is simply out of this world."

Koneko nodded as well and said, "Yes, the sweets that Senpai makes are the best but his headpats are even better." and a slight blush appeared on her face.

Akeno placed a hand on her cheek and said, "His food makes me feel so 'hot' that I cannot explain."

Isami then walked towards Tatsuya and Gasper and said, "I don't care whether you are a male or female of you are able to tell how good Tatsuya's food is then you are a good person." and placed her hand on Gasper's shoulder making him widen his eyes in surprise and unconsciously his Sacred gear gets activated and all the others in the room except for Tatsuya and Gasper were left frozen."

Gasper covered his eyes with his hands and said, "Please don't hit me!!! I am sorry!!!"

Seeing that Gasper got scared Tatsuya sighed and hugged him and started patting his back and said, "There there calm down Gasper. No one is going to hurt you here. And even if someone was to try I am still here to protect you."

Gasper then removed his hands from his eyes and looked at Tatsuya and said, "Senpai." and started crying in his embrace.

Tatsuya sighed and continued to console the little vampire till he calmed down, and the time started moving again.

Isami got surprised by the sudden change in Tatsuya's and Gasper's position and said, "What just happened?"

Hearing that Kiba had a wry smile on his face while Akeno just sighed and said, "It's his Sacred gear, The Forbidden Balor view."

Akeno the waited for Rias to start the explanation but after waiting for a while and hearing no word from her she turned her head and saw Rias staring at all of them.

Akeno tilted her head and asked, "What happened Rias?"

Rias then looked at all of them and said, "Have you all tasted Tatsuya's food atleast once?"

Hearing this question all of them were surprised but none the less her peerage nodded their head and Isami said, "We all usually have our lunches together along with President Sona and Vice president Tsubaki."

Hearing that Rias got even more surprised and then asked, "You all have lunch together and you don't even call me?"

Hearing her question the rest don't even take a single second and said, "No." making Rias fall down on her knees.

Rias then looked at her peerage and asked, "Why didn't you invite me as well."

Akeno then said, "Because there is someone who said that the school's cafeteria does not have a lot of variety."

Koneko then said, "You said that the sweets here are not upto your taste."

Kiba smiled and said, "You previously told us that you want to have your lunch in silence alone as you get tired by the praises of other students and don't want to be in spotlight."

Isami then said, "Why would I invite more people and get my own share decreased because of more people?"

Hearing their answers Rias got even more and more depressed and she looked at Tatsuya.

Tatsuya looked at her with a smile on his face and said, "I don't want any rumours to follow me by inviting you personally."

And after that Rias got totally depressed and stood up and started walking out of the room like a zombie.

Gasper looked at Rias and then asked, "What happened to Rias-senpai?"

Tatsuya smiled and said, "She took a lot of mental damage."

Gasper looked at Tatsuya with a confused expression to which Tatsuya just smiled.

Tatsuya then looked at Gasper and said, "Hey why don't you introduce yourself to Isami."

Gasper looked at Isami and freaked out a bit and said, "N-n-nice to meet you. M-m-m-my name is Gasper Vladi, a half vampire. I want to go back in my coffin." and tears started to form in his eyes.

Koneko looked at him and said, "Go and sleep in there for eternity." and thought, 'Even though he is in Senpai's hands he still wants to go back to his coffin. I will punish him for disrespecting Senpai.'

Akeno showed a wry smile and said, "About that you see we have got the permission to take you out of this room, so why don't you come out with us."

Gasper immediately shook his head and said, "No no no, I don't want to go outside, outside is Scary. I want to go back in my coffin."

Seeing Gasper was becoming rather impatient Tatsuya softly patted his head making him calm down a bit and Koneko glaring at Gasper.

Tatsuya then looked at Gasper and said, "Hey why don't you try to live in the outside world for a while? It will be fun."

Gasper looked at Tatsuya and said, "But Senpai it is Scary outside, I don't want to go out."

Tatsuya just smiled and said, "If you keep on getting scared of going out of this room then you will not be able to enjoy your life properly, why don't you try it for a while who knows that you may come to like living outside and overcome your fear and when that happens let's go to a video game conventions and tournaments together. It will be a lot of fun. And like I said before I will be there to protect you afterall I cannot let the only devil whom I make contracts with suffer, right?"

Gasper looked at Tatsuya for a while and then slowly nodded his head. Tatsuya smiled at that and said, "Good, let's make you overcome your fear and make a man out of you, afterall you won't like to be called a girl, would you?"

Gasper hearing those words immediately nodded his head and said, "I will overcome my fears and be a man."

Tatsuya nodded and said, "Good, now let's go." Tatsuya then put Gasper down to allow him to take a step outside on his own.

Gasper then looked towards the door with wary expyon his face and was hesitating to take a step out.

Tatsuya and the others stood behind him and let him take his time to walk a step further.

Gasper then gulped his saliva and looked at the door with a serious expression and said, "I am a man, I am not scared. I am a man, I am not scared." and kept repeating it for a while. Finally building up his courage he slowly lifted his leg and took a step out of the door making the others who have been intently looking at the vampire for all this time smile at his progress.

Gasper too was beaming with smile for taking a step out of the room and was about to turn around and look at the others and see their expressions but before he was able to a 'zombie' Rias came out from the corner and said, "Why are you all taking so much time?" with a cold voice.

Seeing his 'king' in that condition Gasper freaked out and immediately rushed inside the room and hid inside his coffin and kept muttering, "Outside is Scary. Rias-senpai is Scary. She will attack me. I am scared."

The. rest of the people looked at Rias with a dumbfounded expression making Rias snap out of her zombie mode and look at the others with a confused expression. All of them sighed and Tatsuya said, "Take the zombie away, I will try to bring him out. You guys wait in the maine room."

All of them nodded and started walk out of the room while Akeno and Koneko dragged Rias away from th room.
