The sunlight was turning orange, it was almost sunset and two girls were walking hand in hand.
Christel thought they would separate, but Koneko's idea is to go with her home, joke, they live in the same house, but Christel still played along.
As they walked to the subway station, Christel saw a jewelry store. With her free hand, Christel cast a summoning spell.
Although it wasn't shown, a clay golem had appeared under Christel and Koneko's feet and was following them calmly.
"Mm?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
Koneko looked from left to right, gave a look of barely perceptible confusion, but they kept walking.
'Koneko is very sensitive, she could barely feel the appearance of the golem...'
Christel controlling the golem, sent it home, actually underground, a few dozen meters away, there is a cave. Almost like Batman's.
Here Christel keeps her alchemy experiments and potions. Thanks to his earth magic and the invocation of Golems, getting here is easy for him and it is very difficult for any demon girl to find him.
The clay golem entered the open space underground. Thanks to Christel's perception and her dual brain processing system, she went to a desk and picked up one of the many rings on the desk.
The ring is silver-plated gold, with a yellow amethyst and a lily design on the inside of the amethyst.
Natural amethyst is violet in color, but this has undergone a treatment, attempting to add amethyst from the shrine world to the amethyst stone in this ring.
Although Christel used only a little amethyst powder, upon entering heat, the hue changed, but the ring gained properties such as Defense, Strength, and Strike.
That, added to Christel's enchantments, the three attributes have changed to increase by a certain amount, to increase by a certain percentage. The heat generated by enchanting and fusing the amethysts led to the violet hue turning a yellow, like that of a citrine quartz stone.
The design of the ring is very simple, but no less elegant, it gives the feeling of purity, Christel believes that this ring is very suitable for Koneko.
Christel is preparing to create a design of Lily in Yellow Amethyst, Daylilies are known for their beauty and elegance, but they also symbolize purity and innocence.
And why an Amethyst? Despite his calm appearance, Koneko possesses great wisdom and a keen instinct. Amethyst represents his ability to remain calm under pressure and his intuition to perceive danger, as she just demonstrated a moment ago.
And it seems that this Yellow Amethyst ring, was born just for her, as Koneko has beautiful yellow eyes, which are very bright and clear.
Christel reminded that she has to take time to improve the rings given before, Usagi's can be changed tomorrow in her time with her, and Mio and Maria's can be made at home. With Ruruko, Christel has to talk it about and borrow it from her.
The golem was already on its way to sink into the cave wall when Christel's perception saw the beautiful silver-haired young woman who was asleep on a bed of flowers and vines.
She is a young woman, who, at first, was of small build and youthful appearance, but has now grown up, like a teenager rapidly moving to the age of a young adult. She has long, flowing black hair that reaches her waist.
And it is very different from its representation in the Manga/Anime, but Christel knows who it is, since the eliminated Zolgear has named her Zest.
'I have to take some time to deal with Zest. I could use the same method as with Moreina and the others?...'
Christel thinks, that maybe with Zest asleep, she can use it to practice and create a plan to get closer to someone who are enemies and strangers at first, and to be able to create a connection.
As Christel and Koneko arrived at the subway station, the golem -swam- across the land.
Due to Koneko's perception, Christel came up with a plan to acquire the ring.
"Koneko, close your eyes for a moment..."
"Mm?"
Koneko glanced at Christel.
"Come on, Neko~ close them for a moment..."
Koneko looked at Christel's lips, and her face turned pink. But as if making a decision, she closed his eyes and raised his chin slightly.
Christel saw this clearly, and thought Koneko had made a mistake, but, men make decisions and solve on the spot. In addition.
'It's a good opportunity to distract her...'
Christel's lips gently touched Koneko's soft lips. But because of her introverted personality, Christel didn't want to force herself anymore. Getting a first kiss is already a great achievement.
Not only does Momo have a prototype smartphone made by Christel and Lala, everyone in the house now has one, as well as Koneko and now Christel, who holds it in her hand and took a selfie.
Click
"Mm!" Koneko heard the sound of the shutter, and quickly opened his eyes. She let go of Christel's hand and snatched the smartphone, his face red to his neck.
At that moment, a black crow gently passed over the two girls and dropped a silver glow from its paw.
With Christel's newfound free hand, he quickly captured the ring without Koneko noticing.
".. MM!" Koneko with both hands on the smartphone, gave Christel an angry look.
"I'm sorry, I just wanted a souvenir, mmm you can send yourself the photo if you want it hehe~"
".. "Koneko gave Christel white eyes, and with movements of his fingers on the smartphone screen, she performed a series of operations. After a moment, I return the smartphone to its original owner.
When Christel grabbed her smartphone, she realized that the wallpaper was now the newly taken photo.
As a man, Christel knows that there are two types of anger in women, one when you do things well and it's an anger of happiness, and another when you do things more and it's an anger of disappointment, you have to be careful with that type of anger, it can poison the relationship.
But now, it's obviously the first type of anger, as although Koneko wasn't looking directly and was looking away, she had his left hand outstretched to hold his hands again.
But Christel knows that at this moment you have to close the tie and tie it tightly. So, he took Koneko's left hand with his left hand, and in the right hand, which caught the ring, he placed the ring on Koneko's ring finger.
Koneko, who, sensing the movements, turns to see what Christel was doing with her hand, but when she looked, she saw how she placed the ring, and on her face, which had lowered the red tone, was flooded again with a scarlet dye.
"It's my promise that I will never abandon you..."
Then, Christel took Koneko in her arms, and hugged her firmly. Koneko stayed for a moment, then she herself sought Christel's lips and kissed again.
What they both didn't know is that, at a distance, there was a girl in the uniform of the Kuoh Academy and a camera. The photo that Christel had taken is not the only one that kept the moment, in fact, the placement of the ring, the hug, and the subsequent kiss, were all recorded.
"Koneko and Christel together, a date, kisses, and ring, Christel placed a ring on Koneko. A RING!! Kyaaaaa~"
The girl jumped excitedly with her long legs sheathed in white and green socks. Her two long, chestnut twin pigtails also danced reflecting her excitement.
Ruruko, who had gone out to buy some necessities for the Student Council, bumped into Christel and Koneko in the distance, and when she saw them holding hands, she thought about recording a photo, but never thought about the events that followed.
"These photos will be a great collection for the Secret Club! Earn a lot of points and be able to reach higher levels!"
Ruruko looked around, and ran away, her plan to approach and greet her classmates was forgotten.
Meanwhile, Christel and Koneko, who did not detect that anyone had seen them much less that they took photos of them, had to leave a little shy as well, as a little boy pointed them out as girls who kissed like mom and dad, making their mother laugh softly, and they would be embarrassed.
"I blame you..."
"AH? Me?, but it was you who kissed me!"
"JUM!" Koneko turned her face pretending to be angry, but she didn't let go of Christel's hand, and they entered the subway station to return home.
The return trip was smooth, Kuoh City is not very big and has few seasons.
They also walked back home from their housing community station. Being a high-end residential area, it is normal to see people going out to exercise and children in the community park.
Christel gets along well with everyone, and although Koneko is very quiet, everyone they bumped into, greeted both girls with smiles.
It is common to see girls of the same age walking hand in hand or hugging, so no neighbor thought wrong, so the journey was also quiet, it is only when entering the house that.
"Christel, you're back! Celine doesn't look very good..."
Mio, hearing the front door, trotted with a worried face. Everyone in the house knows Celine, the alien plant that Lala gave Christel for a late birthday.
As a unique plant, they have seen it grow from a sapling in a small pot, to a small tree just over two meters high.
But sometime in the afternoon, when Momo went to the greenhouse as usual to check the plants and flowers, she noticed the strangeness in Celine.
Mitelt used her angelic energy in secret, but since it is a plant unknown to her and does not belong to the planet, she has not been able to identify the problem other than lack of vitality.
When they mentioned talking to Christel on the phone, Momo shook her head, she didn't want to ruin Christel's date with Koneko. And she has been communicating spiritually with Celine, who always responds that she is fine, but that she does not know what is wrong with him, only that she is sleepy.
Momo has been diagnosed with the rare disease Kare-Kare, and the treatment is to get a lucky berry on the planet Mistletoe.
All this was told by Mio as they walked to the backyard. Christel knows it's not a disease, it's just Celine's strange evolution.
When they came out, they were all in the courtyard, at the entrance of the greenhouse. But to Christel's surprise, there are also Mikan Yuuki, along with Yami and other girls.
And when Christel looked up, there she was floating, two triangular ships, made of what appeared to be a dark metal with a bluish touch.
"UFO?"
Koneko followed Christel's gaze and said.
Mio seeing both of them looking at the strange space-looking ship explained.
"Somehow, while Momo was talking about going to the outer planet, Peke communicated with Yami, who is the only one who has a ship, since both Lala and the twins Nana and Momo, arrived with the help of a space transfer technology modified by Lala and that Queen Sephie had recovered.
So the only way to travel to another planet is with the help of Yami's ship..."
"I understand Yami's ship, but why are there two?"
"The other ship belongs to Yami's sister, her name is Mea, she is the girl with hair in a long blue braid..."
'Mea has already come for her sister? Well, it's been so long that even I'd think she's late...
But, did they let Rito into the house? Or they just ignored it because of Celine's emergency'
In Yami's group, apart from Mea and Mikan, Rito was behind the girls looking around not knowing what to do. The other girls can only be the remaining female cast of to Love Ru: Yui, Haruna, Sachie, Saki, Aya and Rin, Mami, Mio, Risa, Koyomi and Sayaka...
'... what was Yami doing with Mikan to bring the entire female cast?'
