Kioto - Moments before the Presentation

In the world of Sanctuary, things seem to be going smoothly, with Andariel not sending any minions to bother us, and Blood Raven not leaving the Sisters' Burial Grounds. Christel and the Rogues have to digest all the dirt they've swallowed so far and can't continue attacking the surrounding areas, so guard and hunting routes have been maintained to take out the little devils that have escaped the net throughout the Cold Plains area. Still, the heroes keep an eye on the Sisters' Burial Grounds and Stony Field up ahead.

Just on his journey tonight, Christel tasted the first cement product that had just been mixed and calcined in a clay and metal oven, made by him and Charsi. Although the group felt weird with Christel's action of mixing the ashes of the fallen, they didn't really stop him, apart from having to burn these creatures that come out of hell, they don't know what else to do with them, they can't eat them because they would be contaminated by the infernal energies and they would only create evil plagues if they were left and buried in the ground.

But in the first test, the concrete's toughness was tested, being attacked by Korgar's mallet and a pesaba ability, as well as Lyara's spells and Malachar's poison attacks, proving to have good resistance to blows, elemental attacks, and corruption. The only thing that seemed to hurt it were attacks imbued with the power of a Paladin's holy light, but even so, Valen had to use a lot of strength and light to manage to destroy the concrete.

Zara and Shira couldn't do anything against a wall formed by this Cement and it seemed to have certain immunities towards magic of druidic nature causing weeds to not grow on the concrete. It's practically the perfect concrete for Christel's Aqua Blue Planet. No matter what world it is, those who can use something like Holy Light are practically non-existent, their numbers are very rare, so this cement is very perfect to withstand nature itself.

"The bad thing is where will we get more of those Fallon imps for the raw material, their ashes?" was the final comment made at random by Christel at the end of the tests, where everyone was silent and some even said a prayer for the poor Fallon and their uncertain future.

As usual, Christel got up very early, with a still sleeping Usagi and Luna, one hugging him and the other on top of him, despite it being summer, the night is very cool, and what women fear most is the cold.

After getting up and washing up in the bathroom, he went downstairs and found Ikuko in the kitchen, so he helped her a little to prepare dinner and finally met Usagi's father, Mr. Kenji Tsukino, his appearance is very average and if you see him on the street, he would get lost among the group of people in the crowd. He wears glasses on his brown eyes and his hair is dark, now he is wearing an office work outfit, a dark brown suit and an orange tie.

Christel greeted Mr. Tsukino, thinking, 'Where did your children's blonde hair come from? Usagi, I understand, the gene can be transmitted through the soul since she was blonde in her previous life, but what about Shingo?'

After helping serve breakfast, Christel went upstairs to wake up a girl and a cat, and with a still shy Usagi and Luna remembering last night's events they went downstairs to have their breakfast.

"Christel, do you need a ride to the station to catch your train?" Ikuko offered, as her daughter's friend had to travel to Kyoto, and she was very pleased. Christel is very responsible and intelligent, unlike her son, Christel also helps in the kitchen and her food is very tasty. 'If only my daughter were...'

Usagi felt her mother's gaze and a question mark appeared above her head (imagination) as she ate her breakfast.

"No need, a taxi has already been ordered, and my friend Yuuma is waiting for me at the train station. I also met some acquaintances who will also be going to the station at the same time and we will leave together."

"Mm? What friends?" Usagi asked curiously, 'What friends could Christel have in Tokyo?'

"They're schoolmates, apparently they had a club event yesterday here in Tokyo..." 'I'm not going to say that they came all the way here just to spy, that's already weird...'

"It's true, Christel-san, I heard from Usagi that you study at Kuoh Academy."

"Yes ma'am... Uncle Kenji. Enter this year." Christel changed the way she addressed Father Tsukino, since he himself had asked to be called as uncle.

"So what is that school like? I understand that their admission requirements not only require good grades, but also the tuition is very high..." Father Tsukino asked. When he heard that his daughter wanted to go to that school after graduating from high school, he asked around among his coworkers. Since he works for a magazine, it shouldn't be difficult to find detailed information.

But he was surprised to see that it is a kind of private academy with a high social level, practically attended by elite people or at least from families with very good professions. Its facilities are at the level of first-class universities and its graduates from the Kuoh University, which is linked, leave with guaranteed jobs.

"... By the way, I heard it's an all-girls school?"

"Actually my grades are only a little bit good, and this year registration has opened for boys too, if Usagi and Shingo want to enter they can do so"

"Heee? Study with my dumb sister? No thanks..."

"Shingo you!!! haa"

"Haaa, sister let me go...!"

....

After breakfast, Christel went upstairs to grab her suitcase and have a momentary farewell with Usagi. Father Tsukino had already left after having breakfast and saying goodbye to his wife.

"...You can think about it, and send me a message when you have decided."

"Mm, I don't need to think about it, I promised I would protect you, and I won't mind if you also have something with Maria and Mio. But you have to promise me that you will always have me in your heart..."

"I will never forget you and you will always have a place for me, Usagi..."

After a couple of kisses, Christel left Usagi's room, and quickly said goodbye to Ikuko and left the Tsukino family house.

"Usagi-chan, are you sure about this?"

"Mmm, hehehe~ yes Luna, I've decided and there's nothing that will make me change my mind" Usagi now finds herself lying in her bed hugging a pillow, and turning around and around. It's the first time she has a relationship of this kind with someone, and she feels like her heart is going to explode out of her chest. She's very happy, nervous, but sad, she's already starting to miss Christel.

"But... ains..." Luna didn't want to think about anything anymore.

"By the way Luna, I think my power has grown a bit..."

"Really? Let's try it, I'll call the girls..."

....And then, Saturday turned into a Sailor Scouts meeting.

"Have you had breakfast yet? Hehehe." Christel entered the neighboring house with the red roof. And saw a group of girls with takeout food on disposable plates.

"Oh~ Christel, good morning"

"Good morning..."

"...Oh~"

"..."

"Well, we have to go to the station, Yuuma already sent me a message that he's waiting for me, and you guys should go back to Kuoh City or are you going to follow me to Kyoto?"

"Ara, ara~ Christel-chan, do you want your older sister to accompany you to Kyoto?" Akeno hugged Christel from behind and spoke into her right ear.

"Hehehe Akeno-chan, I have no problems, I don't know if the eldest Rias would give her permission..." Christel, had to control her own body, since last night they only lit her fire and she hasn't put it out, so feeling Akeno's voluptuous body on her back and her characteristic smell, it's like just adding fuel to the burning fire.

Obviously Rias wasn't going to let her -Best Friend- go with Christel, so she opted to let Yuuto accompany Christel with the argument that a girl can't go alone to a far away city without the company of a man. Christel with a man's soul isn't going to feel offended, and she knows that it's the care that Rias and the others have for her. So she just shrugged her shoulders.

For her part, Sona let Tsubasa Yura be her companion-bodyguard. Tsubasa, even before being reborn as a demon, had the ability to fight supernatural beings with her own strength. In addition, she is the most masculine in Sona's group with her tomboy style and her height, beating Yuuto in height.

And so, Christel accompanied by Yuuto and Tsubasa, took the bullet train to Kyoto with Yuuma, saying goodbye to the demon girls, and reminding Rias not to forget to deliver her package.

The event had already started as soon as the sun was overhead in the land of Neon, although Christel's stand is at the Sunday event where young people can present their technological projects and themes. The company's stand will present its projects at a conference after 5 pm.

With the bullet train line, it will only take two hours to get from Tokyo to Kyoto, so Christel has time to get to the hotel, change her clothes and get to the event before 5 pm.

"Christel-sama, are you ready? The technicians have everything ready for the conference, and they are also very interested in where you got that touch screen..."

"Reiko, if we are ready, that screen is just a prototype for the event..."

Christel is now wearing a simple but elegant evening dress. Serafall and Lluvia, her mother, have decided to let Christel make the presentation. No one but Christel understands the direction and the projects in depth, and the technicians and engineers, although intelligent, are not at all smart when it comes to making a presentation, much less a conference.

Lluvia and Serafall sent a bunch of clothes with Reiko for Christel to wear to the conference, obviously throwing away those cosplay dresses, Serafall and Lluvia sent nice dresses.

Christel opted for a traditional Asian style dress. The dress is white, long sleeved and fitted. It has an elegant design with embroidered details on the long sleeves and shoulders, and a small flower that links two leaves like wings at the neck, leaving a vertical dress collar. The dress also has a slit at the top of the chest and is made of a satin or silky material. At the bottom the dress reaches above Christel's knees and has a parallel fabric that acts as a train and is the same height as the dress, resembling a dolphin's tail.

Wearing crystal slippers with a stiletto heel, Christel stands 145 centimeters tall. And when she left the room upon Reiko's arrival, she was putting on rose gold earrings that blended with her hair in a classic up-do. The hair is carefully pulled up and pinned back with a hair clip, leaving the neck and ears uncovered. The up-do is elegant and simple, complementing the traditional, formal style of the dress.

When Yuuma, Tsubasa, Reiko and Yuuto saw Christel leave, their eyes sparkled. Yuuma felt the urge to take this girl and get out of here and keep her for herself, Tsubasa felt like she had found the most beautiful person, she is so pure and clear that she seems to change her preferences of preferring men who get dirty after a fight, she has felt that perhaps she has been wrong in her past tastes.

This is the first time Reiko has seen a beauty in the human realm to this degree, as a demon who is part of one of the most powerful families (working only) she has always looked down on humans and their society, but after coming to live in this world and getting to know their lifestyles, and now seeing her little boss looking like this, her preference for humans has risen by a couple of realms.

Yuuto, for his part, also enjoyed the beauty of the golden-haired girl, and remembered something that Akeno had asked him before they parted, so he took a camera out of his jacket pocket and secretly took some photos of Christel.

"Are we all ready? Alright, let's go to the event..." 'Puff~, walking in this is difficult, if it wasn't an important matter I wouldn't wear these things, I prefer my pants and shirts...' With the style that had already been learned by Lluvia, Christel walked towards the exit of the execution level room and pressed the elevator button, encouraging everyone and reminding Reiko if they didn't forget something.
