Manga World: Bringing Steam Technology to the World of Sanctuary

"Moooo~ Christel-chan, why didn't you wait for me after school?" A silver-haired Succubus who was about 140 centimeters tall hugged another girl of the same height, but with golden hair, by the neck while complaining.

"Maria, I had already sent you a message that I was planning to go to Mom's company... Besides, today I have a mission for one of you three... well forget about Lala, Maria and Mio could accept the duty of taking dinner to Mom in her company, she says that eating the food from the company cafeteria often is bad and that it is better to eat my food..."

Christel after patting the Succubus on the head, walked towards the kitchen with the Succubus still hugging her. 'Making me promise that in exchange for permission to use the company for my inventions, I would make her dinner every day, mom this is child abuse!... puff'

Christel, after an epic battle with her mother to let her work at the company, with her legendary weapons of -hurt puppy eyes- and -please-, she compromised on the condition that her beloved daughter would always bring her food. Christel thought that her mother only took advantage of her request to make her promise something she wanted for a long time. But with no other choice, she had no choice but to accept, it's the same as coming home and making dinner for everyone with one plate more or less.

"Christel-san, don't worry, Maria and I promise to bring Mother a lunch box!" Mio promised like a soldier with serious eyes.

"I don't want to go out~ I just want to stay with Christel" A lazy pouting Succubus

"Mio, just call me Christel, we are sisters and call mom, Mom"

"Uhm, I understand Christel-san... Christel."

"Lala can help in the kitchen!" Lala, not to be outdone, wanted to help Christel with the cooking.

"NO!... cough, Lala, I don't know how dirty you are now, but you can go take a shower and change your clothes. By the way, where did you get that white hat." Christel knows that if she lets Lala into the kitchen, the entire city of Kuoh will disappear from the map... Besides, she recognized the hat Lala is wearing, it's Peke, her robot invention.

"You like Christel, her name is Peke, she's my robot invention, she's my most amazing creation! When she arrived on this planet, she fell somewhere else, but she managed to find me quickly, isn't that great?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah Lala, Peke is great" 'uhnmm it looks like trouble is coming tonight'

"What's so cool about a stupid hat with swirly eyes and bat wings..."

"Maria, don't leave those things behind!"

"Hehehe, Peke. Say hello to everyone!"

"Hello everyone, Flame Head, Dumb Dwarf, Sunshine Girl"

"Who are you calling a stupid dwarf, stupid hat!!"

"Mary, don't be disrespectful..."

"But Mio-neechan, she called me a dwarf T_T..."

"Peke, don't call them that, they are my fiancé and his sisters and my sisters."

"Understood, Lala-sama, I won't call the dwarf a fool anymore..."

"Tuuu!, Mio, let me go, I'm going to put that stupid hat in the washing machine with bleach and turbo cycle so it gets ruined..."

*Ding, Dong*

'Ok, trouble has arrived, it seems to be very soon...' "Lala, Mio, Maria, you can help take the ingredients out of the refrigerator, you can choose what to eat. I'll open the door."

"Okay honey, Lala wants to eat sweet and sour pork..."

"Yeah.. I agree with the pink-haired girl, meat is good..."

"Maria, you have to balance your food. You can't just eat meat, you also have to eat vegetables. Lala-san, you too..."

"Okay~"

"..." After Christel looked at everyone going to the refrigerator she went to the door, and with a small bright light, she was already preparing to attack with a magic arrow if necessary. She peeked through the peephole and saw a beautiful girl with black hair and violet eyes. 'What is Raynare doing here?' Then Christel, recognizing the guest, calmly opened the door and released the arrow that she condensed with magic.

"Yuuma-senpai, what a surprise," Christel said with genuine surprise.

"Christel-chan, just call me Yuuma, we are friends, at the cafeteria I asked you if I could visit you and you said yes."

"Yes, but I thought not today, maybe at the weekend, come on..."

"Thanks, by the way, what a beautiful house you have"

"It's all from Serafall, she gave it to my mother when she hired her to be CEO of her company. You can sit in the living room, I'll prepare dinner and I hope you'll join us, Yuuma." 'Alright, with Yuuma, I mean Raynare here, if they want to attack Lala's pursuers they'll have to fight a mid-elite Fallen Angel.'

"You don't have to do much, Christel, if you want I can help you cook"

"Yuuma Amano knows how to cook?" 'This black crow who is a dog that Azazel licks knows how to cook? Well if it's for Azazel it makes sense'

"Ahg, Junior Christel-chan doesn't believe in her senpai" Yuuma made a movement of clutching his chest as if in pain

'Big...' Christel turned to see her action and was surprised by the padded sight on Raynare's front.

"Ha, Yuuma-san what a surprise"

"hehe Yuuma hello"

"Yuuma-chan you came"

"Hello, Mio, Maria, Lala, I said I would come today"

"Great, we'll all cook together!..."

"Ok, ok, everyone will help, but Mio, don't let Lala near the stove! That's your highest level mission."

"Ah? I don't understand Christel why, but oh well."

'Don't look at me like that, you don't know what Lala is capable of when she tries to cook'

10 minutes later,.

"Okay Lala, Mio, Maria, just wait for the sweet and sour pork to cook and toss the salad. You can go take a shower in the meantime."

"Okay~ ofuro taimo..."

"HA! Lala what are you doing, don't take off your clothes here" Mio ran after Lala who was already undressing in the middle of the room.

"Hehe, it's fun like that, for now I'll agree with the pink-haired girl..."

"Maria, don't repeat what Lala does..."

"..."

"Hehehe, your house is so fun Christel-chan..."

"Yuuma, I make you laugh. If you lived here you would have headaches all day."

"Well, if you ask me like that, of course I'll live here with you. You know, my father is always working, so I'm home alone all the time..." 'It's nice here. Maybe I can stay today and investigate who is stalking Christel. Today she also had a bit of dark energy. I want to see who dares to hunt in my city.'

'You call an old, run-down church a house? And by father you mean Azazel?' "Uhm, you can stay as many times as you want, there are free rooms upstairs and downstairs." Christel shrugged and raised her hands, dismissing the issue of whether Raynare was staying or not. And it would be better if Raynare stayed, she would be a guard crow hunting down any rats that might want to get into the house.

*Ding, Dong*

"Hey? Someone's coming? Wait for me Yuuma, I'm going to see who it is." 'Who could it be now? Have Lala's pursuers finally arrived?'

Same as before, but this time Christel raised her hand to her chest and condensed an arrow with magic, wondering if Raynare could sense it without seeing it, but to her surprise it doesn't look like Raynare feels her arrow or her magic. Then she peeked through the peephole again and saw a little girl with silver bob hair and golden cat-shaped eyes. 'Huh? Koneko came? And why are her eyes like that? Is it because it's nighttime and her eyes have contracted? That doesn't make sense Koneko! They should expand so more light can come in and see better at night!'

"Hello Koneko, what a surprise that you are here, come in"

"Mm" Koneko entered Christel's house without saying anything else. She was wearing a denim miniskirt with pockets that showed off her smooth white legs, a long-sleeved cotton blouse with a brown vest, white socks and red leather ankle boots.

"Haaaa, Christel here!!" When Christel was about to close the door she heard someone calling her.

"Ruruko? You too?" 'What's going on? Is it a sleepover today and I didn't notice?' Ruruko Nimura came running with a backpack and plain clothes. She was wearing tight denim pants that made her already attractive legs look even more seductive with her wide hips and narrow waist. She was wearing a sleeveless green sports shirt and tennis shoes.

"Ha, ha, ha, tired~ Hi Christel, I came to spend the night! Koneko, you're here too..."

"Well, welcome, come in..." Christel looked outside in case anyone else came running, but when she saw the empty street she closed the door.

In the distance, there were five people dressed from head to toe in black using a house fence as a hiding place and peeking around the corner.

"Boss, more strong beings have arrived. There are now five low-level to mid-level firms, we won't be able to get Miss Lala-sama back like this..."

"..."

"...boss?"

"... Okay, the operation is cancelled, everyone go back and one of you stay for observation."

"YES!"x5

....Inside the Oudara Velky house....

"Koneko, Ruruko, you can wait in the dining room, I'll bring dinner..."

"No, Christel, I can help set the table..."

"Mm" Koneko just looks into Christel's eyes

"Okay, okay, help set the table, here's the kitchen..."

"Oh~ you have guests Christel"

"Yes, Yuuma, they are Koneko Tojo and Ruruko Nimura, they are my classmates. It seems that they are staying today."

"That's great... it's like a sleepover." 'Koneko tojo, servant of Rias of the Gremory family and Ruruko Nimura, seems to have just been reborn as a devil and joined the student union, now she is a servant of Sona Sitri. Two families have set their sights on Christel and have noticed the anomaly of the dark energy, heh, sending their servants to protect Christel and investigate. It seems that they have placed importance on Christel and her strange energy that may be a sacred artifact.'

10 minutes later.

"Haaa~ it's so tasty, I love Christel's cooking..." Lala with bulging cheeks and stained lips.

"Mm, delicious" Koneko tries to hold it, but her face shows happiness and her eyes shine

"Mmm~ yummy, I can't live without Christel-chan now~" Mio just like Lala with bulging cheeks and spots on her lips.

"Maria, Lala, eat more vegetables and salad..." Mio putting potatoes and carrots and salad on Lala and Maria's plates.

"Wow Christel, I've tried your bento before, but this is so great, I think I'll stay here forever." Raynare also has bright eyes and a smile, she has always looked down on humans and never eats their food, but this time, with the plan of getting close to Christel she had to do it, but she was amazed by how delicious everything is. 'Maybe it's not a bad idea to be friends with Christel, maybe I can convince her to join the fallen angels'

"Umm, Umm! Yes, me too! Although I can't, my parents wouldn't allow it, but I will come as long as I can, if Christel allows it." Ruruko looked into Christel's eyes with bright and hopeful eyes.

"Sure, Ruruko, you can come as long as you want, Koneko and Yuuma too." Christel looked at the dining table full of beautiful girls and felt good inside, the 8 seats in the dining room are all occupied and the food she prepared, despite making a lot, seems to be running out little by little. 'The good thing is that I set aside a lunch box for my mother.

After eating and resting for a moment, Christel handed Mio her lunch box and at the door she said goodbye to Mio and Maria who were leaving in a private car sent by the Serafall company.

"Well, be careful and come back..."

"Understood Christel, we will take the wind to Moth... to Mom and we will return, come on Maria"

"Yes! Christel, I'll be back soon, muaa~"

Mio and Maria got into the car and after the car disappeared into the distance, Christel returned inside the house.

"Ok. Yuuma, Koneko, Ruruko, there are free rooms upstairs, how about I help you clean..."

"What? Can't we sleep in Christel's room?"

"Lala sleeps with her husband..."

"Lala's husband lives here too? Wait! Lala is married?" Ruruko said in astonishment, Raynare suddenly brightened her eyes 'There's a man in this house?'

"Christel is Lala's husband, or well, future husband, we are engaged... hehe" Lala hugged Christel affectionately, or so it seemed.

"Heee~!!!?? Christel and Lala are engaged?" Ruruko more amazed. Raynare now with a strange glow in her eyes looking at Christel being hugged by a pink-haired girl and her cheeks being rubbed by the cheeks of the same pink-haired girl.

"Then we can all sleep in Christel's room, otherwise there would be no point in a sleepover..." Raynare said.

"Well, it's not impossible, there is a free bed base in a guest room downstairs and there are mats, you can take it to my room, or just put the mats on the floor..." Christel thought and said after a moment.

"No need, Lala changed Christel's bed to a bigger one before Christel arrived." Lala suddenly raised her hand and said.

"Lala? What did you do in my room?" Christel had a bad feeling and went upstairs to see her room. 'I forgot, this girl likes to modify things when no one is looking, is that why she was stained with the dirty uniform?'

With excitement Christel, followed by the girls, approached her room. 'Uhmnm the door is the same and the sign', Then Christel carefully pushed her door and entered.

Christel's room has been greatly enlarged, in the middle there is a large circular bed, with a diameter of 6 meters, with sheets and pillows all over the bed space, all in bright colors like pink, blue, green and yellow.

Her desk is to the right of the door, the door opens on its left hinges so there is a large window in the wall opposite the door with the bed in the middle. Christel's desk has now changed to a glass one with her papers, notebooks, laptops and such neatly arranged on it. Christel is not worried about Lala spying.

To the left of the bed is a wardrobe built into the wall with sliding doors and drawers, and to the right of the bed next to the desk is a bookcase and shelves, also built into the wall. The entire ceiling shines with harmless white light, making the room luminous without shadows.

When Christel entered, she noticed that on the left side there was another clear glass door and she headed towards it.

"This is the new bathroom that Lala made, so it's easier to get in without having to go to the other bathroom..." When Christel opened the door she realized that it was a sliding door and when she entered she saw a large bathroom with a huge tub, the same size as the bed and circular in shape. The same design of shelves inside the walls to place toiletries, a very beautiful sink like a fountain is on the opposite side when you enter and there are three more toilets in the back. 'Why three toilets Lala?' The toilet area is separated by a rough glass wall that separates what is the closet with an L-shaped piece of furniture and all of Christel's clothes in it, despite all the clothes being arranged it does not fill even half of the space of the closet made by Lala, you can see the two doors that give access to the room. 'Does the bathroom have two doors?'

Just like the room, the ceiling of the bathroom is also fully illuminated and on the wall there is a huge mirror that you can see the whole bathtub apart from the normal square mirror of the sink. Lala's design is very beautiful, and it is also very incredible that she can do all this in one day, what a day, in a few hours after coming home from school and Christel was at the company talking to her mother and visiting the laboratory facilities and research and development workshops.

"WoW~ Christel's room is amazing, bigger than my house"

"...Lala, thank you, I like it." Christel is not like Rito, who gets upset when Lala does something with his house. In fact, Christel did like it, but knowing the explosive inventions and the many errors that the objects created by Lala have, it still makes her heart beat with nerves. But she will thank her and he will praise Lala.

And Lala hugged Christel with happiness deep in her heart. Only her mom is the one who recognizes her and supports Lala's inventions and everyone else doesn't like her and feels upset with her. So when Christel thanked her and said that she liked her, for the first time she hugged her with feelings of wanting to do so and not just to pretend that she is her fiancée.

"But why does the space here look different than what it looks like outside?" Raynare asked curiously. She had already explored Christel's house while flying the night before and learned its layout. Even though Christel's room is in the back in the backyard, it shouldn't have this much space or it should.

"Only the second floor area was expanded a few meters towards the backyard, so the other room next to Christel also has a larger area now, although I didn't renovate it."

"It doesn't matter, Lala, maybe we'll need that space sooner rather than later, wasn't it difficult for you to do all this?" 'In the future, even this room and this bed won't be enough. Rias will also want to move in, and I don't know who else will be coming, but Aisha is definitely someone who will stay here in the house.

"No, Peke helped me, she is very good at doing this type of construction work."

"Thanks Peke."

"You're welcome, Sun Girl"

"Heeee~? The hat talks?" x2, Ruruko and Raynare.
