3.56% D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad / Chapter 63: Chapter 63 20 Questions

Capítulo 63: Chapter 63 20 Questions

"Right…" said Kat drawing out the word as long as possible to allow her brain to catch up to what was going on. Originally Vivian seemed like quite the personality but despite Callisto's reclusive nature she seemed to trump Vivian in a number of ways.

"Can I ask what's with the room?" asked Kat after giving up on trying to just make sense of everything herself

"Yes, you can. We should even do a bit of back and forth then so that I can learn a bit more about my best friend's new daughter. I'll take that as your first question" said Callisto.

Kat was intending to wait for more information but when Callisto said nothing else Kat nodded in response. However at the moment of confirmation chains of purple fire surrounded the two linking them together. Layers upon layers of chains blazed into existence and rapidly cocooned the pair before dispersing.

"Shit" said Kat looking unimpressed towards Callisto

"My my, now that is certainly entertaining. I'd seen the note you left on the table and I wasn't quite sure what to make of it. But this? This is fascinating, I could see those chains appear before me. I've never entered into a contract with a demon before, how novel" said Callisto as she wafted her hand around the area the chains had connected them moments before. "Well then, for my first question, I suppose I'll ask what you are, in full please"

"Weren't you going to answer my question first?" asked Kat

"Why I did, I said that you could ask me about my room did I not?" replied Callisto with a grin "I had intended it as a slight joke, but now it seems to have escalated. I'll give you that answer for free though, no worries"

*Why did Callisto trick me like that? Especially with a contract on the line? Wait it can't have been, she didn't know I was a real demon or even if she suspected I doubt she would know how the contracts work.*

"I'm a Succubus, apparently a rare subtype but I wasn't told exactly what that is" said Kat returning Callisto's glare. Callisto just made an open-handed gesture implying for Kat to ask her own question.

"Can you explain how your room is set up and why the lights are dimmed and the bed is missing" said Kat

"My, getting ahead of ourselves aren't we. I'd say that's more than one question no? You should just pick one" said Callisto

"Fine, I'll go with the missing bed and cupboard. Why are they missing from your room?" asked Kat

"Well, as to the closet. Vivian has a rather large house here and when I first moved in, and even still now the amount of spare space in the cupboards astounds me. I simply make use of them and keep my outfits throughout the house. It can be quite fun to go on a hunt for a specific set of clothing" said Callisto

"Though of course, the matter of the bed is a bit different. I have something known as triple S, or Short Sleeper Syndrome. I simply don't need a full nights rest so I spend my time working instead. Those few hours of sleep I do get I simply flatten out that chair" Callisto motioned for the chair in front of her writing station "And grab a blanket from somewhere under that pile of paper"

After Callisto finished her answer she stared straight into Kat's eyes, for ten seconds as if waiting for some invisible cue. Whatever Callisto was waiting for she found because she followed it up with this question.

"Can I touch your wings?"

"Um?" Kat looked strangely at Callisto unsure if she had heard correctly even slower her perception of time slightly to get longer to consider the question. After confirming multiple times the question that had been asked she replied "Sure?" still very confused.

In the moment Kat blinked she found Callisto had disappeared. Wondering where she had gone Kat was about to start looking for her when she felt a tug on her left wing. Turning to face the side she found Callisto stretching out her wing with a tape measure in her mouth mumbling to herself.

"Doesn't seem large enough for prolonged flight, gliding perhaps? That doesn't make sense though, I'm not sure it's long enough for that either? Are her bones hollow? No that can't make sense, these weigh too much in my arms for even the wing bones to be hollow" stretching the measuring tape this way and that measuring various angles and areas of Kat's wing she bit the bullet and asked Callisto a question. "What are you doing exactly"

Callisto's head immediately snapped towards Kat. "Well, your wings are fascinating, they simply shouldn't function at all, but I doubt they are purely for looks. Then again you're a succubus so maybe looks are extremely important to your species. It brings up other questions about your tail and horns but I don't really see how either of those would benefit you either" pausing for just a moment to breathe in Callisto continued "It's actually quite curious, tell me, can you actually fly with these wings?"

Kat opened her mouth to respond. Closed it. Then opened it again "Honestly Callisto I wish I knew. I know for a fact I can glide with them, but the only time I've had the chance to actually try flying with them I had to carry a girl with me and they are certainly not strong enough to lift us both. I could feel my muscles having trouble though, I think that was only when I was stopping a bank turn"

"Hmm" mumbled Callisto turning back to examine Kat's wings "Well, in my professional opinion your wings shouldn't even allow you to glide yourself let alone while carrying someone. I suspect that for whatever reason you can actually fly if it's just you, but I could be wrong"

"Actually wait back up a moment, how is it your professional opinion about if I can fly or not? What do you do for a job?" asked Kat

"Now, that's two questions right there. Take your pick" said Callisto

*Of course, why couldn't she answer without being like this. At least the system is clear enough in it's answers. Hey wait, can I fly system?*

--

User Kat will need to test that. Many demon types with wings are unable to fly but around 65% of Succubi with wings have flight capacity, with a further 10% who have lost their ability to fly that they once had.

--

*Well, nice to know the odds are in my favour.* "Tell me what your job is then" said Kat

"Well, if I wanted to make this difficult for you, I could say that I don't have a job. Though I would suppose this is only true in so far as I have no permanent employment arrangements. Initially my pride prevented me from working at something I considered unworthy of my time but living in Vivian's house for free humbled me quite a lot. I'd decided to find a job to pay her back but she kept eating my resume's I tried to mail out" said Callisto.

"Wait what? You didn't really answer the question and you can't just say Vivian ate your resume's without elaborating on that" said Kat shocked

"Of course I can, I answered the question, though I suppose it might not have been in full. To disclose properly then I make my money off of various side projects I work on in my spare time. A lot of that is helping Vivian's clients with smaller things, while I also build, art pieces. I suppose most would call them. I'd love to say I detest making the damned things but if given time and funding the challenge of building something is thrilling indeed" said Callisto with a glint in her eye that was actually a little off-putting considering she was still staring at Kat's wing in her hand as if it was responsible for all that is wrong with the world

"Hmm, yes, so much to explore. Oooh can I investigate your horns next?" asked Callisto standing up with a rubber mallet in hand.

"Um Callisto where did you get that mallet?" asked Kat

"Do you want that to be your question?"

"No…"

"So can I investigate your horns sometimes with this rubber mallet?"

"Fine.."

And so Kat resigned herself to the poking and prodding of Callisto. Thankfully she was actually quite careful in her investigations much like she was with her wings. Tapping lightly here and there, humming slightly to herself in a questioning tone she searched for something.

"Your horns are fascinating, whatever they are it isn't bone. Or maybe it is? It isn't human bone that's for sure" said Callisto after some time tapping away

"What do you mean?"

"It just doesn't sound right to me, listen" said Callisto giving her horns a significant wack. Kat strained her ears for any sort of sound but heard barely anything noteworthy, hardly even a thump.

"I don't really hear much of anything Callisto" said Kat

"That's exactly my point. Bone doesn't sound like nothing when you strike it. Oh the possibilities are endless" said Callisto as she cackled

Vongrak's I hope this is a Fun Fact: Chapter 71, that is now the planned date for premium. Should be on the 24th (Webnovel time).

I also plan to do a mass release shortly afterwards as a celebration and as part of another event, should be around the same time but I need confirmation about that. It will be 5 extra chapters so if you need to start saving those fast passess.

Capítulo 64: Chapter 64 How I met Your Mother

After a full ten minutes of horn investigation Kat was getting a bit bored. Which was rare for someone like her who could find the joy in relaxing just about anywhere and understood the meaning of patience extremely well. This was however getting stretched nearly too its limit with Callisto. She hadn't said anything or done anything new in the past 5 minutes. Callisto would carefully tap a spot on Kat's horns wait for anything to happen and then repeat the process.

"Um Kallisto? Don't you have anything better to do?" asked Kat

"Nope" said Callisto continuing her ongoing investigation of Kat's horns.

Kat was stunned. She hadn't expected someone to just outright admit they didn't have anything better to be doing then poking her with a stick to see what happened. *Is she serious? How could she possibly be learning anything new about my horns after the first hundred taps?*

"Would you perhaps like to do something else?" asked Kat

"That's two questions in a row" said Callisto "But I guess I'll answer anyway. Your body is extremely fascinating. It seems to break the laws of this universe, or at least I suspect it does. And I can't help but wonder what purpose each piece serves. Actually I guess I will ask my question, is there anything else you got when you became a demon?"

"Yes" said Kat *Two can play at the stupid answer game if you really want Callisto.* 

"I suppose I deserve that one. Well go ahead then, I surrender myself to your questioning" said Callisto who, contrary to the statement she was surrendering, was in fact still investigating Kat's horns, though she moved on from minor taping to running her hand along the edges.

*What do I even ask? I hadn't really prepared questions unlike Callisto seems to have. Is there really anything I want to know about her? I mean, I guess it's actually a matter of which questions not to ask. The room already brings up several but I want to know more about her as a person if possible.*

"Please tell me the story of how you and Vivian met" asked Kat

"Well, before I answer that I'd like clarification. Do you want to know how I met Vivian or how Vivian met me?" said Callisto

"Is there a difference?" asked Kat

"Why of course there is. I knew of Vivian's existence long before she ever knew of mine. I'm not sure which you'd prefer but they are both interesting enough tales to tell. Both with Vivian in the staring role of course" said Callisto

"Well, let's go with whichever one happened first then" said Kat

"Excellent let me set the scene" said Callisto running over to grab the chair for her computer desk she wheeled it behind Kat to let her sit down. Spinning the chair around once Callisto jumped back and began.

"So, for the first story we will have to be how I met Vivian. As I said I knew of her existence before mine, which I thought would imply it happened first? But anyway I'm already getting distracted by minor inconsistencies.

"It was a day of moderate temperature. Perhaps some would say it was too cold, but an equal number would say it was too hot. Of course none of this mattered truly because the school had air conditioning running. It was the first class after lunch, and it was woodwork. Vivian and I were the only women who actually chose to take it. I already knew how to cook and sew so I thought I'd do something useful with my time.

"Vivian on the other hand just seemed to think it would be more fun than anything else, or at least that's what she tells me. It was the second week of term and already she was causing problems. We were younger than, fresh out of primary school so people were starting to get to that awkward teenage phase.

"I actually quite safe in the woodworking class, I didn't look as immaculate as I do now. Back then I had horrible acne and tried to wear a nice scarf to cover it up. Of course I know now I just looked like the lunatic who wore a scarf to school everyday but that's in the past. Anyway, that coupled with my underdeveloped build and the fact I was sick the first two weeks meant that nobody had really noticed I was a girl.

"This meant that to the rest of the class Vivian was the only female present. The only one that shouldn't have been there in the eyes of most the class. Luckily the teacher didn't count among those numbers, but it was the start of term and they hadn't had to confront any students to directly yet, so everyone was trying to toe the line.

"The issue came when we were instructed to mess around a little with the carving tools and make something to show our parents. We were recommended to keep it simple, like carving our names into something or if we were feeling really adventurous to try and carve a scene into a block of wood.

"Now Vivian, Vivian took this as a challenge, so when the wood slab was provided for us instead of carving something minor like a normal person, she went into a flurry of movement, shaving bits and pieces of wood here and there. It was at this moment I'd stopped working on my own project just to watch her. The speed and accuracy that she managed to carve was astounding to my young self and even thinking back on it I doubt I could match the energy she displayed after learning woodworking and practicing it as part of my job.

"Of course before long I wasn't the only one watching Vivian carve, eventually it was a class wide event. Everyone had pretty much given up on completing there own work on time if it meant watching the spectacle Vivian had created.

"Quite some time passed. Even the teacher was enthralled with her. It wasn't until Vivian finally stopped moving did the spell finally break. Now at the time I didn't know how long it had been, I only later found out we'd watched her carve this thing for over half an hour. After a minute of silence the teacher finally asked 'Vivian, what did you make' and she replied with that big bright smile on her face I'm sure you already know 'I made the world's greatest toothpick because I have lunch stuck in my teeth'

"You could hear a pin drop in that room. Here was this kid that we'd just watched carve up a storm with a passion and fire that nobody would argue was fake. And it had all been for a toothpick. Yelling and cussing rang out throughout the classroom. The kids accused her of being a show off, most of them said stuff along the lines of 'this is why girls can't do woodwork' and other such nonsense. Even the teacher looked quite irritated with her, but then he seemed to catch something out of the corner of his eye and he slammed his hand down on the desk

"He said 'Enough class. I said to make something simple, and Vivian seems to be the only person who even tried. Look at you all. You just spent the last half hour watching a girls first attempt at woodworking without trying anything yourselves and instead of congratulating her on being the first to finish something, you scream at her. Not only is what she made complete, it is also functional and useful. I'd give her full marks if I was grading this assessment now sit down and think about what you've done'

"Now I wasn't harassing her like the others. As much as I wish to say I was trying to defend her that would be a lie on my behalf. But no, I was sure she'd made something better, and when I saw that strange look pass over the teachers face I knew the others had all missed something. So I stared at her hands trying to figure out what she'd done, when I saw it. Vivian had carved a beautiful flower. The only problem of course was that it was carved into the desk and not the block of wood she'd been provided which she'd actually knocked off the desk when she went to grab her tools.

"I don't think anybody ever noticed that carving, and I also learnt the desks in the woodwork room are made from spare timber and easily replaced so as to avoid accidents not quite like this one. When I noticed the flower missing the second time, we had class I was actually a little devastated. It was such an amazing work, I was upset at the idea it had been destroyed. Yet I was the fool, the teacher knew that it was special, because if you looked closely, the front of the teacher's desk had been modified. It now had the carving of a flower slotted into the front with the edges trimmed well so as to look like a continuous piece of wood.

"No one else ever commented on the flower the teachers desk now held. I like to think they noticed, but I'm not sure they really did. It really was an amazing sight. It wasn't the best-looking flower you'd ever seen. The technique was sloppy, the edges weren't carved symmetrically, heck there where chips in the edges in a number of places as well. But that didn't matter to me, or clearly the teacher. We had seen the passion that led to it's creation and it was breathtaking to behold.

Vongrak's self destructing fun fact: For my older readers I'm going to be leaving you some extra information over in a few authors notes. Those extra details will be removed after some time to keep up the suspence. The first one is free, the challenge involves chapter 91

Edit: I don't know why this chapter went up early, but it has. No great concern, it's only 3 hours but I don't know why it happened
