Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

"Christel-san, what was that noise, are you okay?..."

Mio, after finishing washing the dishes, went upstairs to sort out her groceries. Maria stayed downstairs again lying on the large sofa in the living room, now with a laptop and her new cell phone connected to the laptop. Maria wanted to have taken the MacBook, but realized that her Sony Ericsson cell phone was not compatible, so she took the Sony Vaio 'Silly, Sony has to connect to Sony, hehe...'.

Maria wanted to play the songs from Lluvia and Christel's CD collection, so she put them one by one into the CD player's tray and copied and then sent the files to her Sony mobile. Maria doesn't worry because this is not technically piracy!

While Maria was copying songs downstairs, an explosion sound was suddenly heard upstairs on the second floor. When Maria ran over, she saw that Mio was standing at the door of the second-floor bathroom with his hands over his mouth.

Then Maria approached and when she looked inside the bathroom, she found Christel standing trying to push a pink-haired girl who was hugging her.

"...Wh... What are you doing with my little sister! A tail?"

"Mio, could you bring a set of clothes from the ones we bought today, I think only your size would fit her, this lady, could you let me go so we can rinse off and dry ourselves so we don't catch a cold. Maria could you bring another towel, we'll talk in the living room."

'Lala Satalin Deviluke, I'm starting to think that this is the universe dominated by the -demons- and -devils- races, there are also Yokais and divine beings. High School DxD has mythological pantheons and a -Biblical God- nerfed from the Hebrew Almighty God from my previous aqua blue world, that's a big difference from this blue planet. But, there are more and more worlds with demon history on this same planet, and this has something to do with my trip to the -Devil- world? But what does Sailor Moon have to do with it?'

"Ahhh~ Not my tail~"

"Sorry, but if you washed yourself I wouldn't have to do it..."

-------

After a few minutes, Christel finds herself sitting on the large armchair in the living room, already dressed in pajamas with a girl with long pink hair hugging her left arm and a Maria on the other side pouting while hugging Christel's right arm.

"Why is it bigger, wider and longer than mine? And its heart tip is huge, grrr..."

'Really? Whispering that? Maria? Now you have an inferiority complex because of the size of your tail...'

"So you say you are a princess of the Deviluke royal family from a planet called Deviluke and of a Deviloid race called Deviluke from the Deviluke galaxy?

"That sounds very stupid..."

'That's right Mio, what's wrong with this species calling everything by the same name, how self-centered can a race be... cough, humans, cough, cough'

Christel gave Mio a thumbs up. And seeing this, Mio blushed at her slip of the tongue.

"That's true! Besides, our custom is that if someone touches our women's breasts it is a marriage proposal, so I have already accepted Christel's marriage proposal and he will be my future husband."

'I like the word Husband, just for that I won't refuse!'

"What, NO!!! Christel will be my wife!"

"Mary, what are you saying?!"

"Mio, no... I mean, No! Wait Mio, you have to support me, or you want a stranger girl to kidnap our little sister."

"Well, this... A, But Lala-san, Christel is a child, leaving age aside, can a woman also propose to another woman in your world?"

'Mio, you are very easy to divert attention from...'

"Of course! I think... I don't see any problem with Christel as a woman being my husband..." Lala tilted her head as if thinking and confirming.

'Big Sister Mio, I'm a Man!' "Well, let's leave this for later, it's too late to take Lala home now, Mio can you help Lala serve some of the leftover dinner and a glass of hot milk?"

"Yeah..."

"Lala, follow Mio, I have things to do, you can choose the room upstairs, the one without a sign for sleeping." 'It's the last free room in this house, sorry, other demons escaping from marriages, there's no more room here.' Christel ignores the fact that there are 2 guest rooms downstairs.

As Lala was hungry, she followed Mio honestly, Maria when she saw Lala leave, she let go of Christel, but still pouting at the sight of the tail swinging behind Lala.

Christel smiled at that. 'I didn't know succubus also had prejudices and competed over the size of their tails...'

Christel got up and went to her room on the second floor, she had to finish her project plans and design a measurement system without a physical object base, if she wants to recreate steam technology in the world of Sanctuary, she needs a measurement system, Christel is going to use the metric system for obvious reasons, but she can't carry a ruler or a tape. She also can't carry an object that represents the kilogram or the liter. Christel needs to create a concept and take that concept and put it into practice on the other side.

Christel knows that, although water is very common, it cannot be used. The mass of water and its volume changes with temperature. Christel decided to use silicon crystal, which is highly stable at molecular levels, its highly ordered structure at atomic scales makes it ideal for calibrating measurements.

The world of Sanctuary is a world filled with independent civilizations and kingdoms. Each place has its own measurement system, and for Christel, it is a virgin world where she can create a unique system never seen before, where measurements such as length, liter, and weight can be simply understood and related to each other.

Christel doesn't want to spend all day exhausted facing the minions of Diablo and his brothers, if she wants the world of Sanctuary to survive, she has to let her own citizens fight side by side in unity.

The problem is that Christel now doesn't have access to advanced precision tools or high-tech laboratories to synthesize high-purity silicon crystal. But don't you have the Demon Kings and their advanced high magic? There's nothing wrong with using Sona's sister, Serafall as a purification and precision tool.

The good thing is that this is something that was already in the project plan, Christel had already planned to create an internal metric system within the company, which would make it difficult for these large capitalist countries and corporations to analyze and plagiarize. The clean energy project of the future that Christel will launch with the help of Serafall and her company's backing will be -The Tesla Turbine-. A turbine so powerful that it uses steam to generate such a fast rotation that it destroys itself. Until the day Christel died in her previous life, a material strong enough to withstand the power of the Tesla turbine had not yet been created, much less now in 2008. But isn't there a realm of demons? Christel can't believe that in any of these pocket dimensions there are no nearly indestructible materials.

And the metallurgy in the Diablo world is also unique. Christel doesn't want to belittle the demons of this world in the various novel stories. But Christel feels that the demons of the Sanctuary world are even more powerful, even surpassing dragons, such as the one called "Great Red." And the humans of Sanctuary managed to create magic technology to create weapons and tools capable of fighting against those demons. Although perhaps "The Blood Mother Lilith" helped in that.

Christel had thought of the synthesizing artifact from the Diablo world, the -Kanai Cube- and the weaker copy version, -The Horadric Cube-. But seeing today, the greatest genius inventor in the galaxy, Lala, has just fallen into her bathtub. It seems that many things can be done in less time, even so, Christel has no plans to abandon these two Cubes.

"Haaa~ Lala is full..."

Christel did not close the door to her room, it was almost ten at night and Lluvia would perhaps return and enter her room to see if she was awake, so Lala took advantage and entered the room and threw herself on Christel's bed.

"Lala, did you brush your teeth?"

"Yes, Lala already brushed her teeth" Lala turning in bed.

"Well, Lala, why not..."

"Haa! What are you doing in my Christel-chan's bed~" Maria, who was coming from taking a shower, entered Christel's room with evil intentions.

"Lala wants to sleep in bed with her husband..." Lala had already gotten under the covers.

"I'm the one who's going to sleep with Christel, and besides, she's not your husband, she's my wife!" Maria climbed into bed and got under the sheets to compete with Lala.

"Maria, what are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep with me?" Mio appeared at Christel's bedroom door with a towel on his head, apparently he showered with Maria.

"Mio-neechan, can I sleep here tonight? No, Mio! Sleep here tonight too." Maria lifted the sheet so Mio could get into bed.

"Hehehe- Lala likes to sleep with everyone together." Lala doesn't mind, and is happy to share the bed with everyone else, even though it's not technically her bed.

"This..." Mio entered the room and looked at Christel who was sitting in front of her desk with a laptop and papers.

Christel's face was black. 'There are so many rooms in this house, there are even two guest rooms downstairs. What's up with hogging my bed?'

*poof* "It doesn't matter Mio, you can sleep in my bed, it's too big for just me" And it's true, the measurements of Christel's bed are, although not as big as the king-size, it doesn't lose out to the queen-size, Christel's bed is a matrimonial-plus, and it's not uncomfortable for 4 high school girls to sleep in.

"Christel, aren't you sleeping yet?"

"No Mio, I'm just finishing this and in a moment I'll sleep with you."

"uhnmmm it smells like Christel hehe~"

"Stop smelling Christel's scent from her bed..."

"Girls..." Mio didn't know what to think of her behavior, she claimed that Christel was her husband, Maria that Christel was her wife, Mio never knew that two girls could get married, 'Maybe tomorrow I should look that up on the internet' thought Mio as she lay down next to Maria on the edge of the bed that faces the bedroom door.

But tomorrow Mio will make a mistake and see things that a 15-year-old girl should not see on the Internet, and that will make her red-faced all day thinking about Maria, Lala and Christel doing the same thing as in the videos and images on the Internet. And she will even open up fantasies where she herself is the protagonist along with Christel.

'Sleeping like this with everyone is very nice' Mio with a smile looking at Lala and Maria.

'Uhnm, reminds me of when I slept with Momo and Nana, maybe I should call tomorrow, today I wasted time modifying the phone so I could call mom and tell her I'm okay, but tomorrow I will call Momo and Nana'

'Because of this pink-haired girl I can't do anything with Christel tonight, mooo I wanted to again. I'll wait for her to fall asleep and maybe I can do something' Maria made plans, but tiredness defeated her and she fell asleep.

While the three girls were falling asleep, Christel now finished her project in its entirety, and when she heard the front door, she got up to help Lluvia with a snack.

After Christel helped out with some warm milk and bread and helped massage her mother's feet like such a filial daughter, she returned to her room. Christel looked at her clothes, she bought the same pajamas she had traveled in. The other ones are now missing. Christel hopes they don't notice her change of clothes, but thinking she'll be wearing the priestess's attire, she doesn't think there will be any problems. Christel also put back on the amulet Ruruko gave her and is wearing a ring from the ones she bought at the jewelry store today. If the ring on her hand travels with her she will give it to Jaina.

Christel also carries a roll of the kind of paper used for painting, "Canvas." She rolls it up very tightly so that it looks like a small tube and holds it in her other hand with an expensive professional fountain pen. Seeing that it is barely one in the morning, and the girls are already in bed, she wondered if she could sleep two hours before the trip or if she would travel when she fell asleep.

Lala and Maria are two girls who sleep a little wild, so now they find themselves with one leg on top of the other and the other's leg on top of one. And Christel lay down in the space between Maria and Mio that was left open, but when she lay down, because of the movement, Mio moved and turned her body towards Christel and gave her a hug. Christel had to better accommodate herself on her back while holding the roll of paper very close to her body between her breasts and between her legs so that her aura would cover her well and travel with her, and with the ring inside her left fist.

And so, Christel closed her eyes and fell asleep 'Here I go...'
