0.51% D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad / Chapter 9: Chapter 9 MY EYES!

章 9: Chapter 9 MY EYES!

Kat's eyes burnt in their sockets, shrivelling to dust before starting to regrow. Kat got to experience every fibre of her optic nerves as they were painfully reconstructed one at a time. Following this, magma seemed to fill her eyes as the rest of the eye was reformed searing her mind before it finally stopped.

*Nope, much worse than last time. So very much worse.* Cracking her eyes open just a tiny bit, Kat immediately felt an overwhelming sense of nausea and closed her eyes again and lay down flat on her bed.

*Oh great, it's the gift that just keeps on giving.* Waiting for her churning stomach to calm down, Kat breathed deeply and tried to find a bit of calm. *First, they mess with my balance and now I can't even see straight, what's next breaking my legs?*

Slowly opening her eye just a crack, Kat found it wasn't quite as bad as the first time, but her vision still felt immensely uncomfortable. Five minutes of staring at the ceiling later, Kat found that keeping her vision on a fixed point and not moving seemed to be helping her. Suddenly, burning letters appeared in her vision.

THE D.E.M.O.N.S SYSTEM WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT UPON ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR NEXT SUMMONING YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR YOUR DEMONIC ATTIRE. PLEASE HAVE YOUR OUTFIT PREPARED BEFOREHAND.

Kat glared at the message. *What do you mean demonic attire?! The hell does that even mean?*

DEMONIC ATTIRE: DEMONIC ATTIRE CAN BE CONSIDERED A DEMON'S UNIFORM. DEMONIC ATTIRE IS PERMANENTLY GRAFTED TO AN INDIVIDUAL DEMON'S SOUL IN ORDER FOR IT TO GROW WITH THEM. DEMONIC ATTIRE CAN BE SUMMONED AT WILL AND ALLOWS FOR DEMONIC TRAITS SUCH AS WINGS AND TAILS TO PHASE THROUGH THE OUTFIT SO THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS COMPATIBLE. MOST DEMONS ONLY HAVE ONE DEMONIC ATTIRE IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE CHOOSE WISELY.

*… You could answer my questions this whole time?* Kat was shocked. All that worry, all that speculation and she literally had the answers handed to her on a burning platter.

YES.

Kat went back to staring at the burning letters before closing her eyes and willing them away. This was a problem she could deal with after she got Lily to come and meet her. Slowly moving her eyes to the clock, Kat was surprised to find it reading 6:05. *Damn, I have to wake everyone up already and I'd really rather shower first. Maybe I need to get the three stooges to finally start waking everyone else up.*

Despite her internal protests, Kat carefully raised herself up, trying to avoid making to sudden movements. *I really need to ask that thing why I'm so nauseous when I look around but that will have to wait, it should have been my first question.* Kat did the morning wake-up at a much slower pace than normal, careful to avoid shifting her vision too drastically before meeting with Sylvie and heading to the dining hall.

"Hmm, what's funny this week Kat?" asked Sylvie.

"I'll… go over it later Sylvie, once I have a shower and text Lily we can go over it together." This seemed to calm the girl.

*Perhaps she thought I was going to run out and talk to Lily first again and well. I could but I really don't want to be walking or jogging until my head gets fixed.*

Quickly eating her breakfast, Kat went to stand up when she felt Sylvie tugging on her pyjamas. Looking over, Kat noticed that Sylvie still had a mostly full plate and was clearly upset at Kat's attempt to get into the shower before the rest of the kids, not that most of them showered but still the orphanage only had a few bathrooms and she had wanted to get in before Lily arrived.

"I just want to have a quick shower Sylvie, you can come hang out in my room after, ok?" said Kat.

Sylvie pouted a bit but nodded. Cleaning away her plates, Kat headed upstairs, had a quick shower, and then returned to her room to find a fully dressed Sylvie already sitting on her bed. *Did she skip her shower or something? How did she get here so fast? I thought I was pretty quick with my shower but…*

Sighing Kat sat down next to Sylvie before being overruled. Now Kat had a nine year old wrapped in her tail sleeping while she waited for her best friend to arrive.

*Why is Sylvie so tired though, I don't remember her taking so many naps like this before?* Despite Kat's apparent concern she started to relax and stroke Sylvie's hair.

About an hour later a knock came at the door. *Hmmm, do I tell them to just come in assuming it's Lily or should I hide my tail first?*

A tired looking Lily opened the door slightly, spotted Kat with her tail, and quickly jumped inside and shut the door.

"Kat, isn't it kind of dangerous to have your tail out like that?" Lily asked.

"Well it's fine really, none of the other kids have come to my door for a long time, I'm too old and scary for that, the only person who hangs out with me still is Sylvie but as you can see she's asleep," said Kat.

"Well anyway, you mentioned there was big news, is it more important than growing a tail? That was pretty shocking" said Lily.

"Well I suppose it depends on how you look at it. It's certainly less surprising, and even if later I grow wings or something because we are more prepared for it I doubt it will come close to the surprise the tail did."

"You're probably going to end up with wings Kat," said Lily deadpan.

Choosing to ignore that statement Kat continued "Remember those words I told you about, well turns out I can ask the thing questions and I thought it would be better to go through them all together."

"Are we including the sleeping beauty on your lap because I'm not sure it counts as being here if she's asleep," said Lily.

At this moment, Sylvie raised a hand and waved but retracted it shortly and curled up tighter against Kat."Well never mind then I suppose. What sort of things can you ask it?" asked Lily.

"Pretty much anything I guess. The only reason I know is because I was wondering what counted as Demonic Attire, but we can get to that later," said Kat not minding the suspicious glance Lily sent her.

"Ok well I guess we should sort out how long your transformation is going to take and how many features you will gain," said Lily. Kat forwarded Lily's question and the words lit up.

SYSTEM CANNOT PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION AS IT VARIES ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. WARNING, DESPITE THIS SYSTEM WILL ENACT PUNISHMENT ON USER KAT SHOULD THIS INFORMATION BE CARELESSLY SPREAD BY USER KAT OR PARTIES RELATED TO HER

Kat repeated it's answers, assuming that Lily would have commented on seeing the flaming letters.

"That's a bit concerning. Um, I promise not to spread the information if that helps? But um, can you tell us what kind of demon Kat is?" said Lily.

SUBJECT KATARINA 'KAT' IS A [REDACTED] SUCCUBUS.

"What do you mean redacted? What information can I view?" asked Kat.

SUBJECT KAT IS ABLE TO VIEW ALL UNRANKED KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS SPECIFIC INFORMATION DIRECTLY RELATING TO YOURSELF AND YOUR ABILITIES.

"Isn't exactly what kind of demon I am quite relevant to me? Wait no don't answer that just yet. Can you tell me what's up with my eyes and why I feel so sick?" asked Kat.

USER KAT'S EYES HAVE BEEN UPGRADED, AND WHILE D.E.M.O.N.S DOES NOT KNOW ALL OF THE SPECIFICS, MOST COMMON ARE THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONS, SUCH AS DRASTICALLY INCREASED VISION RANGE TO INCLUDE SOME ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT AS WELL AS THE ABILITY TO SEE VARIOUS MAGICAL ENERGIES, IT ALSO INCLUDES WHAT D.E.M.O.N.S SUSPECTS TO BE CAUSING USER KAT'S ISSUE IS THAT USER KAT NO LONGER HAS A SMALL BLIND SPOT IN USER KAT'S EYE AND USER KAT'S BRAIN IS TRYING TO CORRECT FOR THAT.

"Why can you guys rewire my brain to get used to a tail instantly, but a small bit of extra vision completely removes my ability to function?" asked Kat.

UNKNOWN, PROCESS USER KAT IS UNDERGOING IS RARE. THE BEST ASSUMPTION IS THAT OTHER FEATURES WERE ALL ADDITIONS AND EASIER FOR USER KAT'S BRAIN TO PROCESS BUT THE REMOVAL OF THE BLIND SPOT HAS REMOVED AN ANCIENT PIECE OF HUMAN BIOLOGY ON USER KAT'S PLANET THAT USER KAT'S BRAIN NO LONGER KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH.

"Um, Kat can you catch me up, you got a bit caught up there," asked Lily.

"Oh yeah sorry, one thing led to another, I'll just go through it with you…" Kat explained"Hmm ok, but why is the specific kind of Succubus that Kat is redacted? I agree that seems pretty relevant to her," said Lily.

USER KAT'S SPECIFIC RACE WOULD MERELY BE A BEST GUESS AT THE MOMENT UNTIL ALL DISTINCTIVE TRAITS APPEAR DURING AWAKENING. ON TOP OF THIS MOST DEMON FAMILY GROUPING IS HIGHLY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION AND THUS WITHOUT CONFIRMATION THE SYSTEM CANNOT GUESS AT USER KAT'S SUBTYPE.

I've set these chapters to come out with a timer on them. I'm thinking around now is good for the daily release but do let me know what you think.

Edit: This chapter was supposed to be out already. My best guess is that this will end up 45 mins later than intended, because the clock inkstone uses doesn't match mine. So keep that in mind for tomorrow... Maybe. I'll update this edit once I see the chapters are actually released

Edit 3: Not sure what happened to edit 2 but yeah it was 45 minutes late

章 10: Chapter 10 MORE QUESTIONS

"Hmm, ok I guess, how about telling us why Kat gets summoned every Friday night?" Lily asked.

USER KAT MUST COMPLETE ONE SUMMON A WEEK AND HAS THE DEFAULT SETTING APPLIED WHICH SUMMONS HER AS SOON AS THE WEEK RESETS. THIS IS CONSIDERED DEFAULT BECAUSE SOME DEMONS FIND IT HARD TO BE SUMMONED DESPITE SO MANY SUMMONINGS.

"Can I change those setting at all?" asked Kat.

USER KAT DOES NOT YET HAVE RANK 1 PERMISSIONS FURTHER CUSTOMISATION WILL BECOME AVAILABLE UPON REACHING RANK 1.

"Well, I guess that's probably all of my questions do you have any more left to ask Lily?" asked Kat.Before Lily could speak Sylvie instead asked "Can I become a demon like Kat?"*Am I supposed to translate that question? I guess it can't hurt I could always not tell her the answer.*

MORE INFORMATION IS REQUIRED. DEPENDING ON THE EXACT MEANING OF THE QUESTION: IF INDIVIDUAL WISHES TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME RACE OF DEMON OR IF ANY DEMON RACE WOULD DO. FURTHERMORE, OTHER BLOODLINES THAT MIGHT PROHIBIT DEMON TRANSFORMATION COULD BE PRESENT WITHIN INDIVIDUAL.

Kat reluctantly repeated the information for Sylvie before she asked another question."How do we get more information?" asked Sylvie.*I guess I'll translate Sylvie's questions as well.*

A NUMBER OF WAYS, SELF-TESTING OR ACCESS TO CERTAIN DEVICES HOWEVER INFORMATION ABOUT BLOODLINE TESTING IS CLASSIFIED FOR UNRANKED INDIVIDUALS.

Sylvie pouted at thin air, shockingly accurately to where the words seemed to hover in front of Kat, but she payed it no mind."Sylvie, being a demon is dangerous. You heard what Kat said, that she has to be summoned once a week, plus you're very young at the moment." said Lily.

"But I want to grow up and be really cool like big sis Kat, so why wouldn't it be worth becoming a demon?" said Sylvie. Kat hugged the adorable little girl with a very satisfied grin on her face.

"Don't encourage her Kat. What you do is surely dangerous and I mean you've been lucky up till now and I didn't want to discourage or anything seeing as you have no control over it, but you really shouldn't be encouraging a little girl to follow in your footsteps," said Lily.

Shrugging, Kat replied "Well I have to be a higher rank to get access to whatever it is anyway and sure I might not want to let Sylvie become a demon right now but we can always wait isn't that right Sylvie?"

"Yeah, I don't wanna be a demon just yet, but I don't want to miss out either like Miss Lily," said Sylvie.

Lily's face twitched slightly, "I haven't missed out on anything little girl. I'm sure whatever awakening process would work on me to right?" said Lily.

*I really don't want to ask the system.* Despite Kat's internal pleas the two continued to stare at her expecting an answer.*Ok System, are they right?*

SUCH INFORMATION REQUIRES A HIGHER RANK TO ACCESS

Kat smiled and repeated the message. Sylvie and Lily both looked at Kat suspiciously, both searching for some trace of falsehood before Kat burst out laughing."So you were lying? Bad Kat" said Sylvie.

"Seriously Kat what did it actually say?" said Lily.

Kat in between gasps, "No it's just" "You pair looked so alike" "It was hilarious!"The pair both pouted and looked at Kat which did not help with her attempts to control her laughter.

After Kat calmed down, she redirected the conversation "Sooo, moving on from that I need to choose my Demonic Attire and apparently I only get one. I have an idea of what I'm going to choose but I want to hear from you both first." Kat then lifted Sylvie off herself and unwound her tail before getting up. Kat knew she could lift Sylvie with just her tail but that would be immensely uncomfortable for her so she didn't even try.

Walking over to her closet, Kat opened the doors to reveal a mishmash of outfits she'd owned for a number of years, some better fitting then others."I think that I can pick anything I want and it will be changed to be wearable by the sounds of things so feel free to examine my whole cupboard don't hold back," said Kat.

Lily immediately made her way to the wardrobe carefully examining each garment while Sylvie pouted at Kat for releasing her for about 30 seconds before following in Lily's footsteps.

"Why not go with your school uniform Kat? It's one of the most formal things I can find in your cupboard and it doesn't look that bad" said Lily not really believing in herself.

The outfit she had suggested was their school uniform and it had a surprising colour scheme upon first inspection. It was a collared shirt in all black, complimented by red trimmings and a red tie with a black symbol representing the school emblazoned on the centre. The complimentary skirt was a dark red with a black webbed pattern going down along the dress, although the administrators insisted it was checkered no one believed them.

*Hmm, well it's not actually the worst suggestion. Our uniforms are pretty striking and go shockingly well with my hair but isn't it kind of weird wearing my uniform off on adventures?*

"Well, you're right, the uniform is pretty decent but at the end of the day it would just feel so weird. Plus, this is permanent so I would have to wear my school uniform for the rest of my life and I don't think I want to put up with that, no matter how good the uniforms looks," said Kat.

"How about this dress Kat, you said it would fit no matter what and it's still really pretty," Sylvie said pointing to one of Kat's old dresses she used to wear when she was a bit older than Sylvie.

It was a radiant white with white flowers around the neckline and blue flowers running in a diagonal line from the left shoulder. It was of surprisingly good make and when she had found it second hand she was so excited she wore it every chance she could until it was too big for her.

*That dress brings back so many memories but I don't think I can wear it again.* Gazing over the rest of her cupboard Kat sighed. *I've moved away from white a lot and I don't feel like this dress is something I want representing me for the rest of my life… Plus, I'm a little scared. Apparently I'm a Succubus and they might have different definitions of 'fitting' that I'd really rather not deal with.*

"Hmm that's quite a good suggestion Sylvie, I used to wear that dress whenever I could. I just feel like I've moved on a bit you know, I've grown out of the style a bit I'm just not sure it would work, plus… well never-mind," said Kat throwing a quick glance at Lily who gave a slight nod in understanding.

Looking through Kat's cupboard, the three continued to bicker slightly over all the different outfits in the closet but none of them really seemed to work."How about these jeans and shirt?" said Lily.

"A bit too casual" said Kat. "Well I've had my fun with you guys, but I actually already had something in mind, perhaps you guys remember," said Kat as she walked towards the cupboard.

It was at this moment that Lily and Sylvie shared a look of understanding before nodding towards Kat as she picked up the box at the bottom of the cupboard and put it on her bed.

"I plan to wear this. It's beautiful, it honours Gramps, the material feels great and it's still very formal," Kat said reaching into the box to pull out the Kimono Gramps had given her.

For the first time she pulled it out of the box to reveal it fully. It was an intricately woven black kimono with white flowers that had the slightest golden highlights and seemed to fall and collect along the sleeves and base of the outfit as they slowly fluttered down along with a matching sash that seemed to have a river carrying the petals along carefully.

Kat quickly undressed and then slowly put on the kimono and as she was about to begin struggling with the sash, Lily walked over swiftly and completed the job. Kat carefully placed her hands together and looked at the two waiting for confirmation. Her eyes briefly flashed purple before returning to their natural dark blue.

The impact hit Sylvie and Lily like a truck. They both stared open mouthed as the confident girl before them transformed from their confident friend to an untouchably regal appearance. After the pair slowly regained their senses, they gave Kat a slow nod. No words could describe how well this suited Kat when she was trying to be serious. There was nothing to be said.

This is my big question and answer set of chapters. Feel free to ask questions in the comments and I'll answer them. That is, if Kat (and the readers) have high enough clearance.

I know for a fact I missed one super obvious question that gets written into another chapter later on but I'm sure there are more.
