Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-1007

Gasper had woken up and felt a bit groggy. However, when he was told that there would be a vampire who would come to visit them tonight. He didn't hesitate and stood up following everyone at the meeting. He thought that there must be something happening in the group of vampires and he was worried about his friend.

They didn't have their meeting in Hyoudou residence, rather they held it in the room of occult research club since no one would bother them in this place.

"Your friend? Do you have a friend?" Yuuki was curious about Gasper's friend. He knew that Gasper was shut-in and he was quite surprised when he knew that Gasper had a friend.

"I have a friend!" Gasper shouted at Yuuki while hiding behind Issei.

"Gasper, you don't have to lie," Issei said.

Gasper started to sob when Issei also doubted him. "I - I really have a friend and she is also a Dhampir like me...."

Rias patted Gasper's head and said, "Yuuki, Issei, don't bully Gasper."

Yuuki took his mask and said, "In this place, you should call me Archer."

"Why you should have your disguise every time?" Xenovia asked.

"It's troublesome to live being attacked by a lot of supernatural beings. A lot of my girlfriends are normal humans," Yuuki said. He decided to change the topic and said, "Gasper, what is the name of your friend?"

"V - Valerie Tepes," Gasper said with a nervous expression. He still remembered the battle training that had been held earlier and he was quite annoyed, but also scared toward Yuuki. He realized that he was very weak, but he was surprised when everyone told him that he had a hidden power inside him. He thought it was also because of Yuuki that he had also gotten a new power and that was one of the reasons why his feeling toward Yuuki was pretty complex.

"Valerie Tepes, huh?" Yuuki rubbed his chin and thought about something. "Is she a girl?"

"Yes, she is a girl," Gasper answered.

Yuuki nodded, but suddenly his ears were pulled by someone. "Ouch! Ouch! Stop! Stop!"

Akeno and Jeanne pulled Yuuki's ears at the same time.

"You're going to add this girl too?" Akeno asked.

"Yuuki, you're too much!" Jeanne said.

Yuuki was speechless looking at their actions and said, "No, I have never thought of that. I am just asking him a question."

"Is gender really that important?" Rias asked.

"Of course!" Issei answered.

Everyone was speechless hearing Issei's answer.

"......" Yuuki coughed to get their attention and said, "Well, let me ask another question again then."

"You're not asking whether Gasper's friend is single, right?" Akeno asked.

Yuuki shook his head and asked, "No, I am asking whether she is also a Dhampir?"

Gasper nodded when he heard Yuuki's question. "Yes. Valerie is also a Dhampir."

Yuuki nodded in response and thought about something again.

"What's wrong with Dhampir?" Xenovia asked.

"That means there is a chance that Valerie Tepes is also a Sacred Gear user or Longinus user too," Yuuki said.

"What?!" Yuuki's words surprised everyone.

Azazel raised his eyebrow and said, "She might be the owner of that Sephiroth Graal."

"There is a high chance of that, nyaa." Kuroka nodded.

"What? Valeri is a Longinus user?" Gasper was surprised.

"There is a high possibility of that, but you don't need to think too much," Yuuki said. He also thought that Valerie Tepes might be also being exploited by the Khaos Brigade and her vampire clan, but he decided not to say anything since this only would make everyone panic.

"Oh, they have come," Sona suddenly said.

Then the door of the room of the occult research club was opened.

They saw a sister with the appearance of a woman in her late 20's or early 30's with blue eyes. Her appearance was very outstanding that could make any actress became jealous and she seemed to come from Northern Europe.

She came alone without anyone and her face was smiling toward someone.

Yuuki followed this woman's gaze and realized that she stared toward Xenovia.

Xenovia who saw this woman suddenly sweated profusely. She hurriedly hid behind Yuuki and said, "S - Sister Griselda...." She was quite nervous looking at this woman and she hoped for Yuuki to be able to protect her.

"Xenovia, it has been a while." Griselda smiled sweetly and said, "Why have you never called me?" Her tone was quite annoying while asking this question.

"I am sorry!" Xenovia hurriedly said. She was like a child in front of this woman.

Griselda sighed looking at Xenovia who was scared. She looked at Yuuki who was hiding his face in a mask. She remembered a magician who had helped the three factions during the attack of Khaos Brigade in the past. She thought that it was this person and said, "Are you, Archer?"

Yuuki nodded and said, "My name is Archer. How about you, my fair lady?"

"Fair lady? I am already old. I am not young anymore," Griselda said.

"No. Like wine, your charm is getting better along with the age," Yuuki said.

Griselda chuckled and said, "You're too young for me."

Yuuki raised his eyebrow and said, "You don't know my age. I might be the same age as you."

"Oh, really?" Griselda was quite interested to know his identity.

"If you're free after this, how about --- Ouch! Ouch!" Yuuki stopped when his waist was pinched by Xenovia.

"Don't flirt with Sister Griselda," Xenovia said.

"I know. I know." Yuuki sighed. He looked at Xenovia and thought that this girl was quite cute.

Griselda chuckled and said, "You have a good boyfriend Xenovia."

Xenovia nodded and said, "I am going to make him my wife."

"......"

"Cough! Sister Griselda, is it? Can you tell me why are you here?" Rias asked.

Griselda nodded and said, "I am only a bodyguard. The one who wants to meet you is going to appear soon."

Then suddenly three people appeared and they stood side by side gathering everyone's attention on them.

Issei was speechless and said, "Are we really going to ignore the thing that Xenovia has said?"
