Chapter 44 - Shock After the Release Presentation

"Jobs! This is big!!!"

The Apple Campus in Cupertino, California, also known as 1 Infinite Loop, has been Apple's current headquarters since 1993. It's 2 a.m. right now, but Steve Jobs was actually working at Apple's research and development center right now.

"What's wrong Tim, are there problems with the supplies?" Steve, without taking his eyes off the different devices and parts on the table, asked.

"No! That's not it, but you need to check this out, it's been circulating on the internet for the past 2 hours, it came out of a Neon tech show and a company suddenly came out with this!" Tim Cook showed an Apple MacBook and a YouTube video to Steve. By 2007, and because Google had acquired YouTube a year ago, the speed at which videos were uploaded had greatly increased and its popularity was explosive, with otaku culture enthusiasts it's no wonder that many internet users were watching the conference in search of something new in the land of Neon and came across Christel's presentation.

After watching the videos, Tim managed to find one with subtitles, although a bit rough, but you could understand the series of explanations given by that young woman with blonde hair who didn't seem to be from Neon at all. He was very impressed by the projects and products she presented and the functionality of that touch screen felt like a latent threat.

Apple just released their iPhone a month ago, but it's nowhere near what this girl just introduced. It's way ahead of the iPhone in features alone, and the screen size is mind-blowing. And the iPhone 3G coming out next year won't even come close. That's why Tim is freaking out now.

Seeing Tim's serious face and nervous look, Jobs had to pay attention to what the video showed, and after an hour he stopped to think.

"I want all the information about this company Fantasy I don't know what, and who that girl is, she must be very important for the top management of that company, not just any daughter would be put in charge of a very important presentation. I want to know everything about her and her family, and I want to know it by today on my desk..."

Jobs was not the only one to see the video. At Google's offices, senior management also met and called the Android team. This operating system was purchased by Google in 2005 and when they saw that Apple had just launched its new touch screen phone, they had to change its design and implement it in their phones that were originally going to have a QWERTY keyboard similar to the BlackBerry.

Microsoft also wants to launch its own Mobile Operating System. In the meeting room at Microsoft headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Steve Ballmer gathered all the executives and senior management together to discuss the presentation of this strange company and they also had copies of the report on the presenter's education and life in general.

But there was something that they noticed and everyone thought of possibilities. They didn't present either Microprocessor or types of Memory. So they only have two options, either they are going to buy from companies like Qualcomm or MediaTek, or they are already designing their own and maybe they already have a prototype.

In other companies around the world, many battery and display companies also held board meetings to discuss these products. Especially at a display company in Neon - SCREEN Holding - and its head of research, Takashi, who was beating his forehead. Half a month ago he was invited by this company Fantasy to enter their research and development center, and he scorned them because he did not believe that the technology of this small company could compete with giants like Samsung, Microsoft and Apple, and especially Apple with its liquid crystal display that was just introduced in its product that combined the iPod with a cell phone.

And so, many companies have sent an executive to contact the Neon Fantasy Mahou Shoujo Kabushikigaisha Company, with thoughts of investing or combining projects.

....

At the Tsukino family home, after watching Christel's presentation, the girls stayed to have dinner and talk about the presentation. Ikuko was also very impressed that one of her daughter's friends could be at such an event, and give a presentation of products and projects, and she thought that it was a good idea for Usagi to enter Kuoh Academy to study. 'Maybe I need to be more strict in my daughter's education.'

Usagi, who was chatting and laughing with her Sailor friends, felt a chill down her spine and turned to see her mother who was staring at her with a serious face. 'Hey? What's wrong with Mom? Why did she suddenly become like that if she was chatting so happily... I have a bad feeling.'

In the courtyard of the Tsukino family home.

"Luna are you sure?"

"I'm very sure Artemis, the way she walked, the way she expressed herself in her presentation, and her idea of creating technology to make people's lives easier... are exactly the same ideas that Queen Serenity had when creating the Silver Millennium Empire."

"...but, she sacrificed herself so that all of us could survive that invasion"

"But what if at the last moment he used his last drop of power to send his soul while at the same time sending the silver crystal with the seven Yomas locked inside to planet Earth?"

"It is possible..."

"Artemis, we must hurry the Sailors to look for the 7 fragments of the Rainbow Crystal, if we manage to fuse them into the Silver Crystal and give it to the girl Christel, perhaps she can recover her memories as Queen Serenity..."

"Hey? Luna, what do you say about Queen Serenity?" Minako walked out the door and picked up Artemis as she reached the courtyard when she heard what Luna was saying.

Behind Minako came Rei, Mia and Makoto.

"What's wrong with Usagi?" Luna asked as she watched the Sailors leave.

"...She is being raised by her mother..."

They all felt a little embarrassed, not only for poor Usagi who took the full brunt of the firepower, but also for the collateral damage of hearing Mrs. Tsukino's sermon.

Even Ami, who is the most intelligent, felt inferior after seeing Christel's performance. But like the other girls, she felt a deep admiration and longing.

"What were you saying about Christel?"

"Hey? Makoto, how do you know he's talking about Christel?"

"You mentioned Queen Serenity and I think you just told us this morning a theory that Christel might be the reincarnation of Queen Serenity."

"But wouldn't that make Usagi Christel's daughter?"

"Minako, wipe that smile off your face"

"Cough, cough, Rei wasn't laughing, hehehe~..."

"..."

....

Yuuki family house.

"Mikan-chan, you said you met this girl a week ago and she was the one who sent these gifts?"

"Yeah mom, isn't it amazing? She's a student at Kuoh Academy, I've been looking into it and it's an institution with compulsory education and prestigious university education in Neon. Apparently they only admit women, how about I apply to study at that school when I graduate from elementary school? I also want to look as cool as Christel-san..."

"Tssss. Just because they kissed, it's not that great... Ouchh, Mikan why are you hitting me..."

"Shut up Rito! And isn't that your fault?" Mikan had a red face and her fist on her older brother Rito's stomach.

"Eh~ what kiss? Rito-kun tell me quickly what happened"

"Noooo~ Oniichan you say something and you die!!!"

"Hahaha, by the way, Mikan-chan, tomorrow don't forget to bring gifts to Sachi and Mami and your teacher Haruko. Rito-kun, you too, to Yui-chan, Haruna, Saki Tenjouin, Rin Kujou, Ayako Fujisaki, Kyouko Kirisaki, Risa Momioka, Mio Sawada, and your teacher Ryoko Mikado... How does she know all your classmates?"

"Mom, I told her about it, we've been talking on the phone this week..."

"Heeee! I don't want to carry all these bags tomorrow..."

"...Forget it, Mikan can you take care of it?" Ringo Yuuki, Mikan and Rito's mother, looked at her son and knew that it was already difficult to ask him for something without him forgetting, so she asked her beloved and most responsible daughter.

"Don't worry, mom, I'll take care of it."

".. Etto... Can I deliver Haruna's..."

"Forget it Rito, you already lost the opportunity, hehe~"

....

And more conversations, although not similar, also took place in other groups that knew Christel or were directly friends.

At the Hotel in Kyoto.

"...Yes mom, tomorrow will be just my steam engine stand... yes I'll go out for a walk a bit... we haven't had dinner yet... well I'll take care of myself... yes Reiko and Yuuma are here... yes... I love you too..."

Christel, after talking for a while with Lluvia, hung up the phone, even though the phone was still sending messages and incoming calls. On Yuuma's side, Tsubasa and Yuuto were also on the phone waiting for Christel to stop talking so they could pass the phone to them.

"...Hello Rias. Did you see it... Yes... I'll be back on Monday afternoon... if Yuuto is here, he'll sleep in the room next door... well..."

"Hello Sona. Did you see it... Yes... I'll be back on Monday afternoon... If Tsubasa is here, she'll sleep in the room next door... well... No, it's not the same conversation with Rias hehehe~..."

"Hello Lala, Mio, Maria, Hello Yami... Everything's okay... huh? What do you mean Momo and Nana have arrived... Did they see my presentation on TV together?... What, Momo?... I don't think your father will accept me marrying two of his daughters... Did your mother already accept that a while ago... with all three of them?... Lala, don't be causing chaos... Maria, no... Well, when I get back... Mio, take care of the house so they don't blow it up... Thanks Yami... I'll be back on Monday..."

"Pufff~ I need an assistant for this, I think I'll ask Lala for a hat like Peke..."

"Hehehe~ Christel-chan, I heard something strange about Lala's sisters?"

"Ahh, Yuuma pls, don't tickle me, just Lala's crazy ideas don't pay attention to her... This... Yuuto, Tsubasa, you should at least wait to send your reports to your Kaichous when you enter your rooms and not do it in front of me and still showing me the screen... heee~" 'Yuuma where do you think you're putting your hand'

While Christel was defending herself from Yuuma's attacks, Yuuto and Tsubasa were sending messages to their respective masters. While Christel was distracted, Raynare put her hand between the girl's legs, causing her body to vibrate.

"Christel-sama, the restaurant reservation is ready, do you want to come down to dinner now?"

"Yes, let's go down now, I'm starving and my throat is dry. Yuuma, Tsubasa, Yuuto, let's go"

On the way to the restaurant, and at dinner, apart from having a conversation with the girls and a boy, at the same time I was sending hundreds of messages and responding to classmates, friends from tennis and kendo clubs, to Mikan and Mika who, although they didn't call, I sent them emails, Mikan has her own cell phone while Mika writes with her mother's cell phone.

But Christel has noticed some strange eyes of Yuuma that look at her in a different way. If before he looked at her with curiosity now there is a strong desire, like possession. A moment ago in the hotel room she dared to put her hand in that place. And she also remembered that, at the end of the conference, and when they left the stage, when they thanked her and hugged her, his eyes were no longer the same as before.

'Could it be that I've changed Raynare's way of thinking? If so, will the same events of Issei's death and rebirth as a devil be repeated? Although the novel doesn't explain it, but apparently, the Red Dragon Emperor's Sacred Artifact -Boosted Gear- has begun to awaken starting this summer, at the end of this year or beginning of next year. Since Azazel has to ask Raynare to watch over it. I don't know if Azazel has already detected something in Issei and if he has a Sacred Artifact.'

Throwing her thoughts aside, Christel finished dinner with the others and returned to the hotel room. The executive level room has 4 separate bedrooms, and a living room and bathroom. Only the master bedroom has its own bathroom, and it is in this room that Christel will sleep.

According to the plan, Reiko will sleep in one room and Yuuma in another, leaving one free, but now with Tsubasa here she will take a room and Yuuto, well Christel couldn't throw him out on the street so she asked Reiko to look for a single room. But he was stopped by Raynare...

"Yuuma do you want to sleep with me tonight?" 'Raynare, have you decided to make a move on this defenseless little girl tonight? How do I explain to you that I don't have a Sacred Artifact!'

"No problem right, that way Yuuto wouldn't have to go out looking for a room..."

"Okay..." Christel suddenly felt a bad feeling.
