Chapter 253 Physical Examination
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Aki waited for a moment after issuing his demand, but the coffin remained silent. Since his subject refused to cooperate, he had no choice but to resort to more forceful methods.
Gasper, the blond ‘trap,’ was currently a harmless creature, but there was no telling how that might change in thirty years. Unless, of course, the boy’s “little brother” failed to develop alongside the rest of his physique—in which case, Aki could always assist him in his descent into full-blown feminization.1 Naturally, he wouldn’t do it himself; “helping” simply meant introducing the boy to a few “good friends.” Like Hyoudou Issei and the other two members of the Pervert Trio. As for the actual process of shiduo—the corruption—it was merely a spectacle to enjoy from afar. The prospect of personally experiencing the delicate, soft body of a crossdresser was something he politely declined.
With these stray thoughts flitting through his mind, Aki stepped forward and forcibly shoved the lid of the coffin open.
There was a hint of resistance—Gasper was clearly bracing against it from within—but that meager strength was utterly futile against him. As the lid gave way, he found a flat-chested, golden-haired ‘schoolgirl’ curled up on the soft, crimson velvet cushion inside.
Gasper turned his head, tears welling in his eyes as he looked up at the uninvited guest, his expression one of pitiable, irresistible vulnerability.
”Hiss~”
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, Aki couldn’t help but be caught off guard. Men truly understood other men best; from the nervous flutter of his eyelashes to the trembling posture, the boy radiated a kind of fragile, manufactured allure.
Having spent so much time with countless girls, Aki had developed a sort of sixth sense regarding gender. Even though Gasper looked undeniably cute—and, frankly, tempting—a vague sense of cognitive dissonance lingered in the back of his mind. It was similar to the feeling he’d had when he first mistook Yuuto for a boy.
While Aki studied him, Gasper was cautiously observing Aki in return. Upon realizing that the intruder was a sharp-featured, mild-mannered young man, the vampire felt his tension ease slightly. It had to be said: all sentient beings are slaves to the visual. Aki’s excellent appearance had prevented the situation from spiraling into total disaster; the shy, antisocial crossdresser surprisingly displayed a willingness to engage in conversation.
”I… I really am a girl…” Gasper said, his voice soft and trembling.
Aki wavered for a fleeting second. Had he not been predisposed to suspicion, combined with his finely honed intuition, he might have actually believed it.
”Take off your pants… no, your skirt and panties,” Aki commanded, his voice cold and direct. “I want to see for myself.”
He stared at the ‘girl’s’ slender, black-stockinged legs, his gaze lingering on the snow-white, delicate expanse of absolute territory between the hem of her skirt and the top of her thigh-highs.
Gasper flushed, clearly embarrassed by Aki’s searing intensity. “Pervert… we’ve only just met, and you want to look at me? My body is…”
Aki’s mouth twitched. “You’re the one wearing a dress, yet you’re calling me a pervert?”
Under Aki’s unwavering, burning gaze, the golden-haired crossdresser finally began to break. But Gasper didn’t want to reveal his secret to this stranger just yet. He had disguised himself so well—why had he been found out?
Facing Gasper’s stubborn refusal to cave, Aki simply took the initiative. He had no intention of personally exploring the “joys” of a crossdresser’s body, but he was certainly curious to conduct an inspection. In his previous life, he had seen plenty of ‘traps’ and ‘yaku-onna’ on the internet; now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he was determined to seize it.
He didn’t pull back after opening the coffin. Making up his mind, he crouched down, one hand pressing firmly onto Gasper’s slender waist, while the other reached for the hem of his skirt, intent on peeling away those pale pink cotton panties.
Fortunately for Gasper, he was lying face-down; had he been facing up, the moment the skirt lifted, Aki would have been greeted by a telltale bulge. Even women have a slight protrusion, but any normal person could tell the difference instantly.
Aki’s surprise attack caught Gasper off guard. By the time the boy realized what was happening, his panties were already half-down.
”Kyaa!” Gasper shrieked.
With a sharp cry, Gasper instantly activated his Sacred Gear, the Forbidden Balor View.
Taking advantage of the frozen time, Gasper scrambled out of Aki’s grasp and dove into a wooden crate in the corner of the room. He had originally intended to flee the house, but his status as a shut-in took hold, and he couldn’t bring himself to step outside.
Aki felt a momentary lapse in his perception, and suddenly, the blond crossdresser had vanished.
(A cheat-level ability, indeed.) Based on their brief contact, Gasper was only at an A-rank, while he himself was SS+—just a step away from SSS-rank. And yet, against the power of frozen time, he had absolutely no counter. Because his soul was sufficiently powerful, he’d only felt a momentary daze; anyone else would have simply perceived Gasper as having vanished into thin air.
Thankfully, while the ability was broken, it had severe limitations. Between those constraints and Gasper’s own timid nature, Aki wasn’t worried about any real danger.
He changed direction, prepared to grab the blond boy again and finish his ‘investigation.’
No sooner had Aki opened the crate than Gasper triggered his ability again. He darted back to the coffin and managed to slam the lid shut behind him.
Staring at the empty crate, Aki didn’t panic. If the boy wanted to play hide-and-seek, he would play until his mana ran out. The game ended sooner than he expected; Gasper lacked control over his Sacred Gear, and every time he froze time, it wasted a tremendous amount of mana. Combined with the massive energy toll of the ability itself and Aki’s superior strength, the vampire didn’t last long.
After five rounds of this, Aki finally cornered the golden-haired boy in a corner crate, where he was cowering with his head in his hands, his complexion deathly pale.
”Don’t worry,” Aki said as he tossed Gasper’s clothes and skirt back into the coffin. “If you don’t want anyone else to know, I’ll keep your secret.”
Gasper had recovered enough mana that his face was no longer pale, but rather flushed. Clad only in his black thigh-highs, he scrambled to grab his clothes and cover his chest and crotch.
Aki rolled his eyes. (Too much acting. He’s starting to really believe he’s a girl.) Besides, he had already seen everything; covering up now was pointless.
Still, there was a definite difference between a crossdresser and a real girl. Beyond the flatness of the chest, there was the waist. While a girl’s waist would curve inward with a graceful, soft arc, a crossdresser’s was straight—almost a long, thin rectangle. And of course, the most crucial part was the anatomy; the difference between one hole and… the alternative… was far too obvious.
Satisfied, Aki filed away the memory, along with his past-life knowledge of the Crossdress Mountain series, and continued his steadfast march down the path of his harem.
”Wuu… wuu…” Gasper sobbed.
”Why do you dress like a girl?” Aki asked.
”Be-because it’s cuter, meeh…” Gasper whimpered.
”I don’t mean the outfit,” Aki pressed. “I mean, why are you so desperate to hide your real gender?”
Gasper hesitated, but eventually, he spilled the reason. Despite Aki’s over-the-top behavior, he could sense that the man had no malicious intent. Furthermore, having gone so long without social interaction, a part of him was starving for connection.
Humans are social animals. No matter how reclusive one becomes, if the loneliness persists long enough, the desire for conversation inevitably bubbles to the surface. It was clear that this world wasn’t the exact High School DxD world he knew; due to a ripple in the world line, Gasper had never met Rias, nor had he become her peerage.
Because his mother was human, he couldn’t stay in his family’s territory. After arriving in the Human World, he found himself shunned yet again because of his vampire blood. While trying to survive, he realized that people were more inclined to help a ‘girl.’ Combined with his natural affinity for cute things, he found he didn’t mind dressing up at all.
Gradually, it started as a hobby—a crossdressing compulsion—and evolved into a full-time disguise. After his Sacred Gear awakened, the Kuoh Academy board had invited him to enroll. The change in his records, his assignment to a general class, and his constant truancy were all part of the negotiated terms of his attendance.

Trivia:
Gasper possesses the Forbidden Balor View Sacred Gear which consumes a massive amount of mana.
Aki is at an SS+ rank, putting him significantly above Gasper’s A-rank.
This version of the world deviates from the standard High School DxD timeline as Gasper never joined Rias’s peerage.
Gasper’s transition to a ‘girl’ was a survival strategy born from being ostracized for his human-vampire heritage.
