Chapter 17: A Future as a Social Fish without a Name or Face
After Christel and the others had left, Sona changed her gaze to a serious one.
"What do you think of the girl Christel-san?" Sona asked her servant student council members.
"She has a lot of life energy, being near her I can feel my energy being saturated and fighting near her is like having an unlimited battery..." Tsubasa replied excitedly.
"You've already seen the research data obtained by my father, Christel is a very intelligent girl who has maintained perfect scores throughout her school years in her home country, she also has very interesting ideas and projects regarding steam-powered engines, and very professional knowledge in programming and software design." Momo, being the daughter of a large business family, has had contact with the Sitri family since childhood, and her father, as a method of having great backing in business, has pushed his daughter to be close to Sona Sitri thus becoming one of her servants reincarnated as a demon.
"I don't feel any dark stains, Sona-kaicho said. Apart from the auras of the demons around her, I only feel her enormous internal vitality. If my family were to discover her, they would not hesitate to train her as an exorcist, and many Onmyōji clans and families (陰陽師) might even turn her into a Shikigami (式神)."
Tomoe comes from the Meguri Clan who are primarily demon exorcists and she was trained using Spirit Swords and their unique sword style to do so. However, a certain Youkai with a grudge cursed the family, and Tomoe's soul was cursed from the day she was born. Her parents asked her for help in lifting the curse from a demon who turned out to be Sona Sitri. She was then reincarnated as a Knight of Sona as this was the only way to break the curse placed on her and eventually joined the Student Council as its secretary. This reincarnation action caused Tomoe's family to be exiled from the exorcism business for having a demon as a daughter and associating with demons.
"But you can only sense it by being close to it, so the danger of it being discovered and kidnapped is minimal."
"While there is a chance, we must not allow it to be known. If I can take her as a servant and reincarnate her as a devil... But Rias seems to have taken desires from her as well."
"I tried using a scanning spell, but it seems that there is another magic blocking me and someone has already used the scanning magic... Maybe I have already been noticed by some powerful and evil witch, who was the person who left those dark spots that Sona-kaicho felt..."
Reya learned about the existence of extraordinary beings from her grandmother who was a witch and she herself has been practicing her sorcery skills with her grandmother and through this knowledge is how she met Sona. Due to being taught magic by her grandmother and having her potential enhanced by her Bishop Piece by being incarnated as a devil by Sona, Reya possesses highly advanced enhanced magical abilities.
"That worries me, where that dirty energy came from"
"I gave a special position amulet to Ruruko, when I give it to her, we will always know her position as long as she is inside Kuoh City, also, the devil sisters also carry the same amulets, when something happens, the three of them together will be able to hold out the time for us to arrive."
"I made you work hard Reya-san"
"It's my job Sona-Kaicho, and with Tomoe's exorcist methods I help a lot."
"uhnm, Thank you both, but the topic of sisters also worries me a lot, the existence of a dimension called Makai where a devil race and a divine realm with unknown gods exist, I have to report this knowledge to my older sister."
Sona, thinking about her sister, has an instinctive rejection, but she has to call her, this news is very important.
As Sona was contemplating whether to call Serafall now or later, the door swung open to her delight.
"Sona, how's the investigation of those two demons going?!"
"Rias, is it so hard to knock on the door?"
"Sona, there are no doors between us..."
"Rias, you've always been like this even in my house..."
"My aunt told me to make myself at home..."
"But that doesn't mean you have to come into my room without my permission and without knocking..."
"..."
Tsubaki and the student council members, as well as Akeno and the occult club members, have long since grown accustomed to Rias and Sona fighting every time they see each other, and it's almost always over the same issue.
"...Hello Tsubaki"
"Akeno..."
"..."
And the members of the student council and the occult club also greeted each other as they always do.
While the demon girls exchanged information and words, on Christel's side.
Christel and the girls were in a clothing store, with Maria helping a shy Mio try on one outfit and another. Lluvia had given the sisters credit cards so they could buy a new wardrobe and their daily needs.
Christel also has not only a credit card, but also a debit card. Christel has been playing with the stock market for a few years now, with her knowledge of economics and finance, although the blue planet she now lives on is somewhat different from her previous blue planet, with unknown companies like the one her mother Rain now works on, they have not prevented her from taking out a good amount of capital and buying shares in companies with a future pronoun. Christel will need a lot of cash to launch her applications on the market and protect them when the mobile phone era explodes in a couple of years.
While Christel was looking at clothes that she could wear to the sanctuary world without raising suspicion. A few blocks away, a high school girl with blonde hair held back by two thick round buns called "Odango" which hold her hair which she lets fall in two long pigtails that hang vertically until reaching her thighs. She wears a sailor-style school uniform more common than the Kuoh Academy uniforms, it is a navy blue pleated skirt with a white blouse with a blue collar the same as the skirt, with a red bow on her neck, white ankle socks and black school shoes.
The girl is holding a brown leather school backpack with both hands, portfolio-style, while following a black cat.
"Luna, you made me leave Tokyo, if my mother finds out, she will definitely kill me..."
"Usagi-chan, I feel the life energy of that girl who held me close the other time, she may be one of the reincarnations of the -Sailor Guardians- we must recruit her to help you fight against the dark servants.
"guu~ I don't want to fight those terrifying things..." The girl with long twin pigtails made a face of fear and laziness.
Don't fight your destiny Usagi-chan, you are the reincarnation of the moon. I found her scent, if she is in that store..." The cat named Luna ran off and entered a clothing store further ahead.
"Luna, wait...!" Usagi felt a little weird when she noticed people looking at her strangely when she was talking to herself, and she ran after Luna with her face down. When suddenly.
"Ayy~ I'm sorry..."
"Usagi-chan... There are dark beings, run!... this girl is..."
"Heeee~ Ahhh"
*boom*
"Mmmm!!!"
'Another stolen kiss? What kind of ecchi character am I?'
In less than two seconds, many events happened. Luna, sensing Christel's aura, ran into a clothing store. With a small cat-like body, she could pass between people's feet and things with agility. But she noticed something that caused her to panic. There were three dark beings in this place. Although they are low-level dark beings, one alone is already a great danger to Usagi in her transformed form, much less fighting against three.
When she ran back, she looked at the girl with blonde hair, lighter and brighter than Usagi's, who was holding Usagi herself in her arms with her body leaning back a little. Then when Usagi heard Luna say something like dark beings, she got scared, which caused her to jump and throw her body forward, finishing pushing the person holding her to the ground.
'...My, my, my. My first kiss!' Usagi wide-eyed as she stared into the beautiful pink eyes of the person beneath her. Her pigtails fell to either side.
"..ha Christel-san!!" Mio said with a red face. 'Was that a girl kiss?'
"Haaa Christel-chan's first kiss is gone" Ruruko with a red face and a little jealousy commented.
'The girl's first kiss? haaaa~!' Usagi rolled her eyes after hearing it and fainted.
"Hey, you can't abuse my imouto like that in front of his one-sama. Wait, did the cat speak?" Maria, as a succubus, is not a being who integrates jealousy in her heart, but she definitely won't allow someone to eat in front of her without sharing. But she also noticed the voice coming from the black cat in front of them.
"Tsssssss..." Luna, hearing the voice of this dark-being-girl, hissed like a cat and stood on guard in front of Usagi and Christel, and raising her fur and tail she prepared to fight with her life for the two girls behind her.
"Ha, black cat, Luna?" Christel after noticing the little black cat stood up and held her.
No one noticed how Christel stood up, nor did they wonder how she could do it while with her right arm she was holding a blonde girl, and with her left arm she was carrying the black cat.
"Well, well, don't fight little Luna, they are my sisters and my classmate" He said, while placing his cheek stroking Luna's black fur. 'soft~'
"Christel-san, you know this cat."
"Yes, I found her running on my way to the Academy, I call her Luna because she has a mark of a waning moon facing upwards or it is a crescent moon. Still, she is just a small cat Maria, how is she going to talk, maybe it was a person outside the door"
"He's very cute, but what if he's a boy? It wouldn't be weird to call him Luna." Ruruko approached and petted Luna's head, while Luna struggled a bit and grumbled.
"I already checked her when I met her, she's a girl, don't worry. Ha! Luna, stop moving like that, Mio, help me carry her, we have to wake up this fainted girl."
And so, a group of girls found themselves on a bench on the street, with one very shy girl apologizing for bumping into another girl. Usagi Tsukino, as she introduced herself, is a second-grade high school student at Juuban High School, which is located in Minato Ward, a central area of Tokyo. 'Minato Ward is about 2 hours from Kuoh Town' looking at the train map, and with her uniform on, Luna took Usagi to investigate some of those dark servants of Queen Metalia? With Luna by Usagi's side, how far along is their story going?'
When Usagi woke up, Luna returned from Mio's embrace to Christel, for some reason, Luna felt very comfortable in her arms. Mio felt a little sad, and Christel promised them that they would adopt a cat for the house. Luna just ignored that comment with a mental 'hum!'.
"This... Christel-san, can I have your home number, I wouldn't want to lose contact."
"Yeah sure, this is my home number and this is my cell phone number, if you don't mind the price, you can call me on my cell phone for more security, and this is my email." Christel took a blank sheet of paper from the ones she had just bought and a writing pen from her backpack to write down a series of account numbers and addresses for Usagi.
Christel has already given up on her desire to have a quiet life and get away from the plots of these heroines, and thinking about it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a friendship with them. At some point, Christel might be able to take them to the world of Diablo, and have them help her cleanse those infernal creatures. Today will be a test of how her ability to travel between worlds works.
"Thank you Christel-san" Usagi, for her part, has the same thought as Christel but with different purposes.
"Just call me Christel"
"Unm! Call me Usagi" Nodding happily.
Usagi noticed the high quality school uniforms of the group of girls. Usagi had already heard about the existence of this Academy when the girls at her school talked about them, Kuoh Academy, a very high grade school where, if not all, then most of the girls are from high classes and daughters of very rich people like presidents of large corporations and companies. Becoming friends with these girls would be the best.
Usagi had fantasized about the possibility of entering high school at Kuoh Academy, but gave up easily. 'It's a VERY expensive school!' when she saw the school's tuition. and although there are ways to enter with grades, but. '...my grades are terrible TT' Usagi cried as she looked at her grade sheets throughout her academic life.
So when her parents found out that their good daughter had researched high-performance academies, her father, although happy with her attitude to study, told her to give up, he couldn't pay for it with his salary. And her mother, after hitting her on the head, told her beloved daughter that if she got good grades she would do everything to get admitted to Kuoh Academy when she graduated from high school.
But upon hearing her mother's words, Usagi was happy, but instantly fell into depression, burying her head in the pillow on her bed. Asking her to raise her grades is like asking the pig to fly. Usagi Tsukino cried for her sad future as a social fish with no name or face.
