Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

"Gather your things, you have been expelled from the temple of the sanctuary of Mary and excommunicated from the Church!"

A middle-aged nun was calling a young nun with blonde hair.

"Mother Superior... I..."

"Silence! It is useless for you to say anything now, you have gone against the teachings of our father god and you have betrayed the mother church by healing a demonic being! I advise you to leave quickly, we can't stop someone from wanting to hurt you..."

Saying the latter, the middle-aged nun gave a look of disgust and disdain towards the young nun and left.

The young nun stood in the garden with deep sadness and tears in her eyes.

She couldn't understand why she was being kicked out of church for doing what she had always been taught to do.

The mother church, inspired by the Holy Scriptures, teaches all her children to love their neighbor, help those in need, and forgive their enemies.

Although she knew that the other party was a creature that was not human, but according to the teachings, seeing the injured one, without thinking, helped the other party to be healed.

Her healing magic is a miracle recognized by everyone in the church and some parishioners, it is clear that her light that can heal the whole world comes from the work of the Lord, and if that light can heal beings who are not human, it is also God's will.

But before her words, they only responded to scolding and insults.

How could the lord, who hates Demons, cure Demons. God punishes the Demons!

And if she used the light, a gift given by the Lord, to heal the Demons, this can only mean that she has corrupted God's gift.

And she, as someone who has become corrupt, and has turned away from the teachings of the church, and has betrayed the church, can no longer receive the care and love of the church.

Just expelling her from the church and exiling her from the church's country is already merciful to her.

As the Mother Superior said, you'd better leave, before someone can't bear to do nothing to you now.

With tears streaming down her cheeks, the young nun just took a somewhat old backpack, a couple of changes of nun's clothes, and some money and walked out with heavy steps.

I didn't know where to go, I had never seen the outside world outside the convent walls. As an orphan who has been raised and educated by the church, her knowledge was limited as her money. She never worried about these material things, and if she had a few coins now, they were gifts given to her by the other older nuns when there was something good or at a special event.

Money that I keep, but that I never thought I would use.

As she walked towards the exit of the convent, she could feel the looks of hatred and disgust, the whispers and harmful words towards her. Before, when they called her a Saint for having the Gift given by God, now they call her a Witch, seduced by demons, and other words.

When I was about to pass through the large wooden doors at the back entrance of the convent, not the magnificent main door. A bucket of water fell on her.

"AHHH!"

"Damn Witch, get out of these sacred lands, lol!"

"Yes, long!"

"Dirty Witch, you needed a bath"

"hahahaha"

More buckets of water were poured over her.

The young nun, soaked from head to toe, could no longer make out the tears that flowed from her eyes with the water that dripped from her blond hair.

Before, these nuns who were their companions, of the same age, shared moments such as laughter and prayers, those who respected and loved her before, now give them mocking and malicious looks.

She couldn't understand, how these people would treat her like this, after the events of this morning, her whole life had taken a 180-degree turn, she felt like her heart was about to break. Squeezing her backpack, she ignored the taunts of her ex-friends and ex-colleagues, and pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

With her body trembling, ahe moved forward and into a dark alley, the temperature of the night was already very strong, but with her body soaked in water, the cold felt like winter frost on her skin.

She never imagined that upon her awakening this morning, her entire world would collapse. This is the second time that the convent has held an event to celebrate the day of the Guadalupana, a very important date for believers that is celebrated on December 12.

There has always been a pilgrimage with songs and dances, carrying a dark virgin, who is said to have appeared in the new world, who cares for and protects her children from harm and evil by cradling them in her arms, and who quickly became known to the whole world.

The young nun has always admired this virgin, feeling her as the purest and closest to humanity. And she has always wanted to be like her, to love and care for all the creatures of the world, as children of the Lord.

Even now, in silence, as she embraces her body and steps forward, she prays for the blessing and protection of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

The young blonde-haired nun hopes to receive some guidance, which will help her to follow a course on this dark path that she is now traveling. Despite having already left the dark alley at the back of the convent, you can now see the illuminated square of St. Peter's Square, full of devout people from all over the world and various tourists.

But seeing the devotion, joy and fun of the people in the square, the young nun felt separated from that, she feels that this world is no longer welcome.

People seemed to ignore her as well, and they weren't worried that a girl in soaked clothes would walk like this on a freezing night. Until...

....

In the chasm of a roof near the convent.

"Woa, sometimes I think that humans are more terrifying and cruel than demons..."

"Jum! They've always been like that, I don't understand why that girl protected them all the time..."

"What do we do Calawana? Are we wearing it already?"

"Raynare son, No, Yuuma said to guide her back to Neon country, she will be a good ally of the Ourada Velky house..."

"hehehe, Yuuma used to do everything for Azazel-sama, but now she has changed her elbows to a human home, hehehe~ I don't know what Azazel-sama will think when he finds out..."

"Although it is a human home, very special people have gathered, and Yuuma's plan is to make it stronger, thanks to the vitality of the girl until we ourselves have taken a step forward towards being a four-winged angel."

"hehehe~ I'm looking forward to it, come on, lest the girl nun freeze to death"

"Well, let's go... hold on! Isn't it her!?"

"huh? What is Christel doing in church town?!"

....

At the same time, in a dark corner of the square.

"Niejehehe! I am amazed at the human efficiency to do evil, now she only needs to suffer a little, to reach and save her, to make her owe me gratitude so that she swears loyalty to me and corrupt her little by little... Nihe!"

A sleek-looking, slim young man with blond hair and golden eyes was laughing, his eyes narrowing as his mouth curled into a smile that inspired more discomfort than joy.

Behind this handsome, blond man, who wears elegant and expensive clothes, are 15 servants dressed in the clothes of holy nuns, standing elegantly with their hands clasped in front, they look like beautiful and beautiful porcelain dolls, but with an expressionless face and a vacant gaze, like dolls without emotions.

"It seems that your collection will be completed in the end, Young Master."

"Niejeje, go and fix everything..."

"Yes, young master..."

A tall, elderly man greeted the blond young man in expensive clothes, with the appearance of a butler, bowed and then turned and left.

"Asia Argento, you'll soon be a part of my collection, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA... HEY? Who is that girl!? I feel an enormous vitality in her..."

The young man's eerily wicked laughter stopped abruptly.

....

'That guy gives me chills... should I kill him?' Christel thought, she was finishing eating pizza, when she felt the presence of dark, rotten energy.

When he released his spiritual perception, in the distance, in a dark corner, he detected a young man with blond hair and golden eyes laughing ominously.

When he followed the gaze of that disgusting young man, he saw a nun who was soaked in water.

'Asia, that guy already acted to get the saint expelled from the church? And why is it soaked, in this climate...'

"I'll be back in a moment..." Christel said to the others at the table and walked out.

Koneko, Ravel, Ruruko, Nana, and Momo with a light green-haired girl in their arms, as well as other third-grade classmates from Kuoh Academy looked at Christel who got up and walked to the exit.

When the girls wanted to say something, Christel stopped them and said she would be back quickly.

They are all on a school trip in the church town, thanks to Yuuma's crazy idea.

Somehow Yuuma wanted to take a trip for her school grade, since according to her plan, she could come, and take her to Asia naturally. But her idea went awry, making it the junior high school grade they was about to graduate to take a trip.

Some girls studying in third grade will not make it to the high school level of Kuoh Academy, as their own families have special arrangements to send them to study abroad.

So, Yuuma's idea carried over to Christel's class and the other third grade classes. Yuuma grumbled about this decision, but couldn't do anything, now, Yuuma's class, which is the second year of high school level, has gone on a trip, making Rias like Sona, unable to go on a trip with Christel.

Although they were worried about letting Christel out of Neon, when they saw who would accompany her, they were amazed. Somehow, Christel befriended the daughter of the leader of the Youkais, the nine-tailed fox Yasaka.

Who accompanied her daughter on a trip with her friend.

Kunou, knowing that Christel was going on a trip, wanted to follow her, asked if she could, and when she got an affirmative answer, she quickly went to her mother and begged and begged to be able to go.

Kunou's mother is obviously worried about letting her daughter go alone on an intercontinental trip, so, seeing that there were no urgent matters, she decided to please her daughter and accompanied her on the trip.

Although Yasaka has no financial problems to be able to pay for such a vacation, since Christel said that she was the one who invited Kunou to go on a trip with her, she paid all the expenses of mother and daughter.

Although Yasaka had heard things about Christel from her daughter's mouth and the investigations of her subordinates, she was surprised to meet this special girl for the first time, and she felt very pleasant to be by her side, as if she was bathed in the spring sun all the time, her body quickly absorbed the enormous vitality that gushed from the girl.

This vital energy not only helped her, who at this point, is already a very high-level Youkai and has almost no opponents in the world, but it is also very beneficial for her daughter.

Thinking about the times her daughter had told her that she wants to study at Kuoh Academy, and she has refused, it seems that she can now change her mind.

With Yasaka's presence, Rias, Sona and the others sighed, but still did not completely lower their guard, sending high-level demons to protect the safety of little Christel, the now, fiancée of the Sitri family, and apparently, girlfriend of the daughter of the Gremory family.

Who has now left the door of the pizzeria and bumped into a young nun.

"AAHHH!"

*Boom*

"OUCH~ I'm sorry..."

The soaked blonde nun fell to the floor on her buttocks, and lamented, but quickly looked up to apologize to the person who had collided.

"… Are you bigger than I, because you were the one who fell?"

Christel replied... Asia is approximately 155 centimeters tall. She is 10 centimeters taller than Christel, but the impact obviously did not move Christel a millimeter.

"… I'm sorry..." The young blonde nun lowered her sad look and apologized again.

Christel saw the tears streaming down her cheeks and her body filled with a sense of desolation and sadness.

When she was raising a hand to wipe her face with her sleeve, her hand was suddenly taken and a force made her stand up.

Then she felt enveloped in a quality embrace, the cold disappeared instantly and the heat filled her body.

At this moment, the already fragile heart of the young blonde nun couldn't stand it anymore and burst into heavy tears.

"BUAAAAAA! Sorry, sorry! Buaaaaa..."
