I think Issei would leave rescuing Valerie to Gasper. It's kinda like a sign of respect by Issei for Gasper as well as a trial. Prove your worth as a male of the Gremory Team.

Also the Knight Meguri is actually into Kiba not Gasper. The one that is interested with Gasper is the Bishop Reya who likes younger man.
