Christel didn't go out on New Year's Eve. After training in the backyard and having a chat with Andariel, Christel went into the house and took a quick shower.
She want use the day to complete the vacation homework that she hadn't touched yet. Being aware of the movements of the human army of the Westmarch kingdom, Christel had no thoughts to worry about schoolwork.
Now that she is free, she decided to take advantage of the day she had nothing to do to finish all her homework and have the next two weeks off before starting the third school term.
Going down once to the kitchen to have a light, light meal for Christel, I return to fill in the missing school supplies.
The other girls, seeing Christel so busy doing her homework, were also infected by her enthusiasm and each returned to her personal desk to do her own homework.
But there was someone Christel had to help.
"I don't understand Onechaaan~"
"Gasper, you had already understood these trigonometric problems a few months ago. Why have you forgotten them?"
Christel is now stuck in fighting something worse than primordial demons, and that is to help the stupid and shy Vampire in princess pajamas who only at the beginning of the holidays returned everything he learned to the masters.
Christel feels that she is more of a mother to Gasper than to Celine. It doesn't just have to help him bathe sometimes. She also has to take it out to go to school and not stay locked all day in a cardboard box.
"Darling~ Don't you want me to try the memory gun again?" Lala, lying on the bed, said while holding a toy-like gun with a comical, futuristic style.
Although it doesn't look like a gun-firing gun, it's certainly worse.
"Lala, why are all your toys Guns?" Christel asked ignoring Lala's unrealistic suggestion to change Gasper's intelligence with alien technology.
"It's because you just have to aim and shoot~" Lala replied with a smile as if saying something logical with a serious expression as if to say -it's obvious, don't you see?-
"Lala, weren't you doing something important in the morning?" Christel gave Lala a white-eyed expression and changed the subject.
Anything in the shape of a gun in Lala's hands are forbidden to use inside the house. After two people changed bodies for an invention of Lala's to make it easier to find something, the inhabitants of the house no longer want to be near Lala's inventions, much less be targeted for their inventions.
Although no one denies Lala's intelligence and genius, but it cannot be denied either that all her inventions either explode or do the opposite of what they should do even with very random effects.
Sometimes girls wonder if Lala does it on purpose.
Christel continued to help Gasper even after she had finished her schoolwork herself.
Afterwards, Momo wanted to take Christel for a walk in the park near the house with Celine. Although her plan was to be alone with Christel and her beautiful (fake) daughter, Maria ruined the plan by sticking to Christel like chewing gum.
In the end, they all ended up going to the park while Mio went with Lluvia to buy what was needed for dinner on New Year's Eve again.
Unlike the Ourada Velky Family, of only Mother and Daughter. Families in Japan do something called -Osoji- a great deep and thorough cleaning of the house.
This is a ritual to remove the dirt of the year that is leaving and welcome the deities that come with the new year with a clean and tidy home.
While Christel and the girls walked and greeted the neighbors in the community. Many families did this kind of great cleaning.
During the course of the day, many girls wrote messages to Christel, engaging in conversation with old year and new year themes, inviting Christel to dinner at their homes, etc.
Girls in Tokio, such as Mikan Yuuki and her classmates Mami and Sachie wrote to Christel having their own conversations.
Reina and Chiaki were also sending her messages, these girls who have almost no participation in Lala's original series have maintained a relationship by messages with Christel. Mainly because there is a ghost story in her school and they usually talk about supernatural things.
Christel thinks that they meeting real aliens gave the girls the thought that things like ghosts can also be true.
And Christel certainly knows they're not wrong.
Haruna, Yui, Saki, Rin, Aya, Risa, Mio also maintain close contact with Christel, even if it is with messages. With Saki and Yui inviting Christel to go to Tokyo and even inviting her to stay overnight at their houses.
Even with Christel's memory, a spreadsheet file had to be opened to schedule the next few days.
Where she can't go from a distance is to Kyoto to see Kunou making the little nine-tailed fox feel sad. But Christel had to sign disadvantageous one-sided contracts in Kunou's favor to comfort her.
One of the deals is that Christel has to convince Kunou's mother not to send her to a special Youkais school. Christel didn't even know that there is a special school for Youkais, apart from arousing her interest she had to agree -try- to convince Yasaka, the mother of Kunou and the Nine-Tailed Fox and leader of the Youkais.
While Christel played with Celine on some swings. She also answered Usagi's messages who is common to send her a message every minute of the day, and if it is not because Sailor Moon also has a lot of winter vacation homework if she wrote to her every minute of the day.
With the messages of the Princess of the Moon also come those of Luna and Artemis, as well as Ami, Minako, Rei and Makoto. With Ami's messages being about work since she accepts the part-time job / paid hobby in Serafall's company doing designs in software and the -APPS- or Applications that Christel has presented to the little genius in computer technology.
Unexpectedly, although pushed by Christel, Ami has also taken leadership in Data Analysis and Strategy for the Serafall company.
So unlike Minako and Rei in fashion and conversations of all kinds of Makoto, Ami writes mostly about the advances and problems in the company and in the products. Especially on this day, the end of the year where other companies are making dirty moves to attack the logistics and primary resources of -Magical Fantasy Girl Ltd. Inc. Co. Limited-.
Multinationals and investment and private equity funds in the West, mainly from North America, like to play this kind of dirty games on days like New Year's Eve and Christmas, when people in general are busy having fun and spending time with their family.
But Ami and Peke, along with executives at CMF, are responding calmly to every move from abroad. Although there are people who notify Lluvia of these movements, Christel's mother can feel gifted on this day.
"Mom~Milk~" Christel's face flushed.
"Celine, we're out. How about I give you juice~" Christel tried to convince Celine by taking a bottle that Momo presented to her with her hands.
"NO. Milk~"
"Okay, but we have to go home..."
"NO. Milk~, Mom~, hunger"
Christel doesn't know how to respond while ignoring Momo who covers her mouth with her hands trying to hold a laugh without much success.
Maria, Mea, and Nana are playing with some stray dogs. They are obviously not strays, rather they are demonic pets placed in the community by the Gremory and Sitri families for Christel's protection.
There are many crows and owls, cats of all sizes and colors. But the non-demonic inhabitants don't seem to mind the growing population of animals in the community.
And since there aren't many people visiting the park right now, Christel took the opportunity to feed her little daughter born from an alien plant, asking Momo for help to hide a little from the two of them.
Christel would rather feel Momo's perverted eyes than the sight of other people who would surely be surprised and end up calling the police if they saw the little blonde-haired girl feeding a little baby girl of almost a year.
While Christel feels Celine feeding and squeezes the little toes of her feet for the sensations while trying to maintain her composure, Christel responds to Keiko's messages.
It seems that the Scientific Spirit Detective has stumbled upon a strange case and asks Christel for help and if she has time in a week.
There is a locality a short distance from Kuoh City that is a mining Town. One class is apparently cursed and there has been a case of deaths from the curse.
Keiko explained that she obtained information from a school with a class 3-3 where accidental deaths have occurred in two school cycles.
While Keiko told Christel in broad strokes, Christel's mind began to fly in memories and with her fingers she touched the screen of her smartphone to show the current date.
In Christel's memories there is a novel with the data identical to those described by Keiko. But in her memories, the story takes place in 1998, not 2008.
Since it is something important and Christel noticed the jingling of threads of infinite colors in the sky that her eyes can see, she decided to agree to help Keiko and go see this strange case of deaths due to accidents.
"Humans are so fragile..." a soft but dry voice, as if without feelings, came from the other swing next to Christel.
"Ophis... fragility is relative. But too, fragility is what makes some things so important and valued. It gives people the feeling of caring and protecting..." Christel calmly responded to the straight-haired black girl next to her in a dark and purple gothic lolita dress.
"Protect... take care of... important... Value... Caring," Ophis replied, savoring the meaning of those words.
Christel smiled as she saw the little loli-dragon thinking. Ophis and Asia have not entered the family registry of the Ourada Velky Family because of the short period they have had to do the paperwork. Although adopted on paper for now, neither of them has worried.
Ophis doesn't care about a name or surname, they call her Ophis now, but she's had many names over the ages.
On the other hand, Asia is very happy to have a house to live in and feels happy every day. If it were up to her, she would be the servant of Christel and her family. But she has been rejected and has the promise that she will enter the Koseki if she wishes, although she keeps the surname Argento.
But Asia replied that she doesn't care about the last name. And she sheepishly suggested that if she married Christel, she would gladly take the surname of Ourada Velky. She said this in a smaller and smaller voice until it was almost the sound of a mosquito.
Christel looked at the calendar on her smartphone and sank into her thoughts.
2008 is very important for Christel. The launch of its first version of SmartPhone goes on sale in Spring, leaving it with three months of preparations, debugging, and fixing any bugs.
It's also the year she'll advance to the next level of school. And the year in which the plot of Rias and the other demon girls begins. Kuoh City will not be at peace in the coming months.
Christel doesn't just have to keep an eye on Usagi and the other Sailor Scouts. She doesn't know if the plots of these magical warrior girls will really happen or are just plots invented by the company that has the rights to the series and forces the author to stretch the plot. But if they really happen, what will happen to Usagi's daughter. A -Chibiusa- from the future will come.
Christel doesn't know what to think about this little Usagi from the future. She is the daughter of Usagi and Chiba in the original story. But Christel's existence has broken this thousand-year-old couple.
But if a daughter of Christel and Usagi comes from the future, it would entangle her more. Although She would prefer this to the above. Christel will send Mamoru Chiba directly to the Sun if for the former.
But what things could happen in the future that will cause your daughter to become dark, or your little daughter to go back intime. Christel thinks this is illogical. She now has two Celestial-level beings in her body. A being of elemental nature, an unborn Sun. And a primordial demon with powers to break the planet in its period of maximum power with ease.
There is also an ancient dragon rocking on a children's swing thinking of words with deep, superficial meanings. Only with this line-up Christel can already dominate the entire planet and kick the so-called -Great Red-.
Christel is thinking of plans for any future traveler case. Especially if Usagi's little daughter is from an alternate universe, perhaps the original Sailor Moon universe. But Christel hates that multiverse. She believes that it is a very poor and mediocre narrative resource.
In 2008 maybe there may be problems with Momo, Nana and Lala's father, and more aliens will arrive. Already with Yami and Mea Christel has it somewhat difficult.
"Mm?" Yami, sitting on the other side of Christel, noticed her look and her expression was -What's up?-
Christel shook her head. Thinking about whether to let Lala make the house bigger. Christel feels sad as she never received a letter from a magic school and cannot learn the spell of -Expansion without leaving a trace-.
Then she has to guide progress in building cities in the former kingdom of Khanduras. While protecting from the forces of other human realms and from dark and hellish creatures. Not to mention threats from angels!
Because, unlike other angels, angels in Sanctuary are also dangerous to little mortals like Christel. 'Well, the angels here aren't saints of devotion either' Christel's thought.
*Blip-Plib~* The Water Drop Notification Tone*
"Mom says let's go back..." Christel got up from the swing as she spoke.
The message that had just arrived is from Rain warning that it had already arrived and the weather is cooling. May they all come back.
Christel called everyone back while carrying Celine who simply changed her to continue eating. The good thing is that with the cold that the beginning of winter brings, Christel has a sweatshirt that helps her cover Celine.
Christel put her smartphone in her pocket and with the help of her spiritual power she can continue writing and sending messages. All the girls gathered their things and returned home. Only Ophis, as well as Mea and Yami detect that the temperature around Christel remains stable, and the cold does not affect all them.
A group of beautiful girls were returning home, greeting the neighbors again and wishing a happy new year to every all.
