Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

"Although it is recognized in your galaxy, here on the blue aqua planet there could be problems…"

Lluvia said while carrying baby Celine and walking around the living room with her in her arms.

"She's so beautiful <3"

"I can take care of Celine's paperwork, but she'll have the Sitri surname before Christel's…"

"NO!" "I REFUSE!"

Momo and Rias exclaimed at the same time.

"I don't think it's good for Celine to have one record in Deviluke and another here, it would be confusing…"

"Nana is right, if Celine is going to be registered on this planet, she should have the same surnames as in Deviluke!"

Momo defended the family surname. And she stood next to her older twin sister.

"Don't you think she looks a lot like Christel-san? Even though she hasn't opened her eyes, I can swear they'll be rose-colored…"

Tsubaki said, drastically changing the subject of Celine's surname.

"It's true! Little Celine has the same nose as Christel, and the lips, but in a smaller size."

Tsubasa, along with Tsubaki, also commented while examining Celine's appearance in detail.

"It's true… Mio, go to my room, in the right bureau, in the second drawer on the left, there are albums of everyone, bring the one at the bottom, that album has photos of Christel before her first year…"

Mio trotted off to retrieve the photo album of her youngest sister.

After a moment, Mio returned with a book in her hands, placed it on the table in the center of the living room, and opened it.

A bunch of photos of Christel from her birth appeared in front of everyone. All the girls gathered around the album to look.

"Christel was very beautiful when she was born… almost none of the nurses could believe she had just been born a moment ago…"

"Shouldn't babies be all wrinkly when they're born?"

"Common babies, but Christel was special, she didn't cry when the nurse spanked her, but she did open her eyes at that moment and looked at the nurse…"

"Hahaha~ Was Christel like that?"

"Actually, the nurses got scared, so they sent Christel to be examined by the doctor, I was very worried because it was known that babies should cry to breathe for the first time.

But the doctor said that physically Christel was very healthy and her airways weren't blocked."

'Uhnm, I remember that, if it weren't for the nurse being cute, I would have sought revenge years later…'

Christel sat next to Mitelt and Calawana, who were further away and still not used to very intimate human interaction, but they were listening to the conversation.

While listening to Lluvia and the others talk about Christel's photos, she had a conversation with Calawana and Mitelt about their ideas on using the tree's materials and using fertilizer to grow special medicinal plants.

"So Christel never cried?"

Mio asked, interested.

"Mmmm, never, I thought maybe there was a neurological problem, but I took her to many doctors when she was a baby and her reactions to stimuli were correct, everyone said she was a very healthy and intelligent baby. Which I also proved as Christel grew up…"

Lluvia recounted the early life of her daughter while flipping through the pages of the photo album.

"Celine opened her eyes!"

María, who was in front of Lluvia and leaning on the table, said. She was the one looking at the photos and searching for Christel's features in Celine.

Then she noticed that Celine had opened her eyes and was looking at the photo album and everyone, looking wherever something caught her attention, then when she looked at María who exclaimed, María clearly saw Celine's eyes.

"She has the left eye pink like Christel but the right eye is green. The shape of her eyes is similar… Pink-haired girl, the resemblance between baby Celine and baby Christel is almost identical. Tell me, have you done something strange!"

"Isn't it because she's the daughter of Christel-honey and Mía? It's because we love each other!"

"Lala-Oneechan, did you really not modify Celine's DNA?"

By this point, Momo also began to believe that Lala had done some experiment with her older sister's and sister-in-law's genes.

'Is it because I gave Celine my blood to nourish her that she acquired my traits?'

Christel thought deeply. And she's not wrong. Carnivorous plants acquire hereditary traits from the prey they consume, usually traits that increase the hardness and sharpness of teeth, bone strength to have durable vines, etc.

"Lala didn't do anything like that to Celine, Lala just rescued Celine from some bad guys traveling through space. So she was under my care for a while, and when I met Christel I decided it would be a great gift!

Celine looks like Christel because she's the one who helped her be born! Celine is the daughter of Christel and Lala!"

"It doesn't matter anymore… Celine is now with us, it's fine that she's the daughter of Lala and Christel…"

"Mmm!"

"… and Momo too! The three of you can be Celine's moms. But you'll have to take care of her, buy milk, diapers, clothes, take her to the doctor, well that can be done just by calling Chisato… I'm very busy, so you'll have to raise Celine, understood!"

"Yes!" "Lala understands."

"Besides, there are many aunts who can help take care of her…"

Lluvia looked at all the girls in the living room. And at Gaspar, who was gently tapping Celine's cheek with his finger.

Obviously, Lluvia only said this to give them a sense of responsibility, it's not like she's going to leave all the girls alone to take care of a baby. She herself knows how hard it is, being only 16 years old and taking care of a daughter.

Although Lluvia, despite everything, doesn't regret it, she feels that having Christel was the best thing that ever happened to her, and whatever the truth about her daughter's birth, it no longer matters, she will be her daughter forever.

For a long time, Lluvia has suspected Christel's conception, she doesn't have any of the physical characteristics of the supposed biological father. And although at that time she was very inexperienced with little or no sexual knowledge, now she knows that that day, they actually didn't get anywhere, and Christel's conception, according to the calendar her doctor gave her, had happened weeks before.

But with the arrival of Lala and her twin sisters Nana and Momo, her occasional conversations with Sephie, Lala and the twins' mother and Queen of a Galactic Empire, and the baby born from a plant, Celine, she has finally let go of the thought of her daughter Christel's origin.

"Lluv-tan! ~ I brought the crib!"

The voice of a little girl was heard at the entrance of the house, then the sound of the door closing and heavy footsteps.

Lluvia, upon hearing the voice, calmly stood up and handed Celine to Lala. Momo, seeing this, carefully approached her older sister, making sure Celine wouldn't fall.

Everyone in the house recognized this bell-like voice of a girl. Especially Sona.

"Sera-tan~ I told you it's not necessary…"

"It doesn't matter, I couldn't buy anything for my little sister Christel when she was growing up, but I won't miss buying things for my newborn niece!

Oh~ Sona-tan, you're here! Help me carry the crib box to the room of…"

Serafall, upon seeing Sona also in the living room, asked for her help. But when she was about to mention where to take the crib, she fell silent.

"To the room where Christel and the others sleep, sorry, I've already gone through those sleepless nights…"

"Oh~ hehe, alright, Sona-tan take the crib to your room and your fiancée's! Although you're not married yet, but I won't say anything to mom and dad about you sleeping together."

"Me. Me, me, Christel and I don't sleep together!"

"Huh? Fiancée, Sera-tan what are you talking about?"

"Huh? Haven't they told you?"

Serafall, Lluvia, and everyone else turned to look at Sona and Christel.

"Onechan!!!" Sona became shy, took the crib box with ease, and ran up the stairs to the second floor of the house.

"In my defense, I didn't know Sona and I were engaged…" 'Sorry Sona, but technically, you haven't told me anything about this since the chess match…'

Christel said when she saw everyone in the house looking at her.

"The thing is, Sona created a fiancé filter, she said she would only marry whoever defeated her in chess, and a while ago she announced that the one who defeated her in chess had appeared and that she would only marry them."

"Christel has practiced chess by playing with artificial intelligences, but, saying you're going to get engaged to someone just because they beat you in chess? Isn't that too much?"

"Sona just wanted to use this excuse so our parents wouldn't arrange engagements for her… since I love my little sister so much, I supported her, although I didn't think your little ray of sunshine would defeat Sona, but knowing her more deeply now and hearing what you said, it makes sense that she defeated my Sona…"

"Hehe~ my little crystal of sunlight can be very dumb in her social emotions…"

"Mom, I'm right here…" Christel rolled her eyes at Lluvia's description of her.

"… but she's very smart in these scientific things. Still, I don't want anyone to get hurt in this, but I won't oppose if it's the decision of the two girls…"

"Hehehehe~ I have no problem with my Sona-tan marrying Christel-tan, but what about Yuuma?" Lluvia glanced at Christel and Yuuma, who was next to Lala to see the baby.

Yuuma, who was attentive to the changes in Celine, froze when she heard her human name from Lluvia.

"Ah! This, I… Lluvia-sama knows?"

Yuuma stood straight and spoke with a bit of stuttering, she hadn't felt like this except in the presence of Azazel, and she doesn't know why she has these feelings of shyness and fear when facing a common human.

"Hehehe~ I know I don't spend much time at home, but I know everything my daughter does throughout her day, every day. Today, for example, she had a date with Koneko, and it seems she's starting a relationship with little Rias…"

"Lluvia-sama! Yooo…"

Rias exclaimed, and Koneko could only lower her gaze with a red face.

Akeno laughed, covering her mouth while Rias looked at her angrily.

"I'm also Christel's girlfriend!"

María raised her hand and exclaimed. But Lluvia approached and patted her head.

"You two are sisters, you'll always be together, but someday you'll find a boy you'll want to be with and share your life with, you and Mio."

"Eeeggghh! I'll never be with a man, I only like Christel in this life!"

María responded in opposition, but Mio remained silent and her face also turned red.

Apart from Akeno, who kept teasing her best friend and teacher, Rias, the other girls who hadn't even started a relationship with Christel, but had shared a couple of kisses with her, like Tsubaki and Tsubasa, were left thinking, and they have the idea of increasing their relationship.

"There's no problem with María and Mio being with their sister Christel…"

"Huh? Sera-tan, but that's wrong."

"Who says? In our society, it's common for siblings to marry…"

"In our society? ..." Lluvia was puzzled, she wanted to ask more but was interrupted.

"I already took the crib upstairs but I don't know how to assemble it, Oneesan, you bought it, go and assemble it!"

Sona, who had already come down but hadn't entered the living room out of shyness, had no choice but to interrupt the conversation, she didn't want her airhead older sister to say something unnecessary.

"Lala can assemble Celine's crib!"

Lala, upon hearing something related to construction, design, or creation, is the first to stand up and step forward, like now, heading towards the stairs to go assemble the crib with Celine in her arms.

"Onechan wait, Celine!"

"Mmm… Mio, better go with Lala…" Lluvia gave Mio a look, she trusts this girl a lot, she's very responsible and helps a lot with household chores.

And it's not that Lluvia distrusts Lala, it's just better to check the crib before putting Celine to sleep in it.
