Chapter 78: Angry Rias
Acting clueless, Christel entered the Academy with the others. Jokingly, she asked what had happened to Basara, why was he so dirty.
His answer was that a dog had chased him when he left home. And to lose it, he ran through the local park and got dirty and muddy when he rolled. As it was late, he could only go to class like this and clean himself up a bit in the boys' bathroom at the Academy.
Everyone smiled at her excuse. Mio and Maria, although they had fought, had great magical abilities. They could fix and clean her clothes with basic quality of life spells. So her image was intact despite the confrontation just now.
As they parted ways, Christel noticed that Mio and Maria had gone to the Academy's office building. Apparently, they were going to find Sona to tell her what had just happened. Christel imagined that Sona would call Rias or tell her what had happened later.
Christel is happy with her life in the modern world. Although it seems dangerous, it is very unlikely that these dangers will show themselves. So she is glad to have this life, because if she were to be completely reborn in the world of Sanctuary, she would have to be under pressure all the time and it would be very tiring.
Only when she has Andariel under her skirt will she be able to calm down a little.
Christel also came up with the idea of conquering Metalia, the first and main villain of Sailor Moon.
Metalia is an ethereal entity, she doesn't have a physical body. At some point in her life, she gave up her body for power. That makes it possible for her to be in small objects, like a jewel. Thinking that Queen Serenity sealed Metalia in a piece of ice at the North Pole.
According to the speed of events, Sailor Moon season one ends in the winter of Usagi's second year of high school.
So he believes that in two months he will be able to attack the Monastery and get Andariel under control. So he does not have to slack off, and although in this world he cannot practice his combat skills, in classes, he concentrates more on raising his cultivation level. Which makes two months on the other side and two months on this side, 4 months to raise his strength.
And speaking of Usagi, she has been sending emails to Christel daily, thanks to her increasingly delicate ability to control telekinesis. She can respond to Usagi and the others' messages on her cell phone, even if she pretends to be asleep.
He just promised her a date for Sunday this weekend. Since he had promised Koneko to go out, he has Saturday set aside.
By the way, the one who sent him messages is also the normal and unnoticed girl Keiko Yukimura.
Now Christel knows what happened and why her guardian cat amulet was activated.
And he was shocked to learn that he had changed the events of the spiritual detective's birth!
In the email exchange, by her own words, Keiko went out to find Yusuke to teach him a lesson and drag him back to school, causing her to be the one to stumble upon the boy who was destined to die in a traffic accident.
Keiko, without thinking, jumped to save the boy, but was faced with having to endure the fate of being hit by a car with her body. Thinking she was going to die, the amulet he gave her saved her life.
And not only that, he can now see a blue-haired ghost girl, who, although he could hear her voice at first, now he can't hear her, but he still sees her!
Although Keiko asked her if they could see each other, knowing that it would be a bit complicated since their respective cities are 2 or 3 hours away. So she invited her to see each other over the weekend.
But Christel has already taken up those two days. She could only apologize and see him later. But I assure you not to be afraid. The girl may be a Shinigami from the spiritual world who came for the child's soul, but her intervention changed the boy's destiny.
The Shinigami girl is surely following her, one, because she had to return to her spiritual world with the little boy's soul, and another, for showing a special ability and being able to see her.
This happened yesterday, and Christel answered her at night. The problem of not hearing the blue-haired girl's voice was solved by sending her some spiritual energy with the help of the cat amulet.
This morning, I told you about the conversation she had with the ghost girl, who introduced herself as Botan, which Keiko thought was a strange name.
I explain to her that she was a spirit guide, also known as a Shinigami, or Parka in the western world. Although she is not very old, she has been doing the job for a while, so she is considered an older sister with experience in her work department.
Keiko was surprised by everything she knew. She was a girl of science and technology, and she didn't believe in ghosts or gods. But knowing that there was a world beyond death and there was an organization in charge of guarding souls and accompanying them on the path of reincarnation surprised her.
Then, she sighed in relief, at least he's not a bad person. But then she thought about Yusuke, and she worried, he has been acting like a bad boy. So, when she asked about his childhood friend, Botan, who said she couldn't say anything about the lifeline of others, she put on a look of contempt towards what she saw of Yusuke's life.
Keiko saw that look and knew that the fate of that childhood friend was not good.
At this time, he saw Christel's message saying that as a Spirit Guide, she had the ability to take on a corporeal form and speak, and she also had psychic abilities, such as mind reading and mental communication. So she had many ways to talk to her and not just spiritually.
When Bota was told that, she was stunned, looked away in shame, and just said that she doesn't normally do that out of respect.
Keiko, who was getting to know this girl, knew she was lying, she noticed that she is clumsy and somewhat stupid, she is very talkative and cheerful. So she just rolled her eyes and let it go, thinking that she had forgotten her own skills as an experienced Shinigami.
Trying to divert the subject from her, she also became interested in the girl Christel that Keiko spoke of and the protective amulet that she gave her.
Botan knows that in this world there are people who call themselves Onmyoji, whom she has encountered in the fight against spirits that have turned evil and other beings.
He has also encountered those witches, sorcerers, and other spiritual professions. And not only that, he has encountered the other systems. Now, his work as a Shinigami has been hindered by this new Western religion, and when he goes to collect a soul, these angels of light appear, arguing that these souls belong to them since they have been baptized under their system.
Although there have been conflicts with these and other beings from other systems, peace agreements have been reached and there are times when they join forces to face complicated events or other beings.
Botan thought he was an interesting person, and his amulet was something she had never seen before, not only is it strong in protection, but it gave a normal human the ability to see the spiritual world and communicate with the spirits.
Thinking that she might be an Onmyoji or sorceress, due to the nature of the divine energy he felt in the bubble that defended Keiko, or in the ability to transmit her spirit with the help of the amulet, he wanted to meet her.
But when Keiko told her that she was from Kuoh City and pointed out the approximate address, Botan trembled and decided not to go meet her. That city is a meeting place for demonic beings from another dimension.
And although they live with humans in peace, their selfish and haughty attitudes do not make her want to deal with these beings. But since Keiko also wanted to talk to Christel in person, it was a good idea to invite her to leave the city of Kuoh.
Keiko thought it was too much to ask her friend and benefactor to leave her city. Especially since she is an 11-year-old girl. But she remembered her way of being and acting, a mature temperament, like a little adult. And also when she saw her at her presentation at the science and technology fair, and how she traveled alone to Kyoto. She thought it would be okay if she went out, in fact, she said that she couldn't go on the weekend because she was going to Kyoto to see a friend with whom she had already made an appointment.
When she thought about herself, despite being very responsible and mature, having new grades, and helping out at home, her parents thought a lot just to get her permission to go on the school trip!
Keiko now knows the phrase – If there is no Comparison, there is no Pain-
As the school day went by, Christel enjoyed the tranquility of youth, practicing her new method of the Sightless Eye. And chatting and flirting with Ravel, Ruruko, Momo and Koneko. Nana still kept a distance, but it was getting shorter.
Thinking of a golden flash, Christel is going to go to Tokyo on Sunday and see what Yami is doing, he has not returned in these days and only sends messages, if it were not for Peke's tracking, she would believe that he had left the planet.
But she knows that she is at Mikan Yuuki's house. Christel is surprised by the synergy of fate. Despite not having to face Rito, it seems that her friendship with Mikan was still born.
But while Christel was enjoying her school life in the modern world.
At the Occult Research Club, in the old Kuoh Academy building.
*Poom!*
A blow hit the Club President's desk.
"How dare they! When we find the method to access their Makai dimension, I will take my family to wipe out those guys who dared to attack Christel!"
The fist that slammed into the presidential desk was that of an angry Rias. She just returned from a meeting with the student council. She heard about the attack by those so-called low-level demons.
Everyone in the Occult Research Club and the Student Council is very angry now.
They waited for the moment when neither Sona nor Rias traveled with Christel, and everything seemed to be meticulously planned. They also sent servants to check the avenue where the ambush was, and detected magical manipulation to prevent humans from arriving.
They had also walked along that avenue on their way to the Academy, but they had not noticed anything unusual.
She is very upset because the dark aura of corruption on Christel's body always appears every morning, and despite living in her house, they cannot detect where it comes from.
Neither Serafall nor Grayfia have been able to find out who is behind Christel and leaving that mark of darkness on her.
Rias and Sona have planned to buy the houses around Christel's house and put in more security.
For something like this to happen in the lands of the Gremory Family, with its heiress and the heiress of the Sitri Family, is an insult to both families. Now they only hope to be able to extract information from the corpse of that so-called demon and obtain a way to access its dimension.
Akeno is also very angry inside. Over the months she has grown fond of this little girl. She likes being with her, and with the intimate actions they have had, it is normal for a special feeling to appear in her heart.
While helping to reassure his President Rias, he also secretly hopes for a chance at revenge against those guys.
Koneko is also upset. Although she doesn't show her feelings because of past traumas, she holds Christel in her heart, she is her first human friend and she likes her a lot. She is having flashes of showing her Nekomata blood now, although she hates that transformation and her blood. Now it seems like she has something to protect and she couldn't care less about using the force she hates.
