3% D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad / Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Photos are a Great Way to Practice Using Demonic Energy

บท 53: Chapter 53 Photos are a Great Way to Practice Using Demonic Energy

While everyone was gathering together Kat was finding it hard to maintain a slight level of demonic energy behind her eyes and maintain the calming aura at the same time.

*Why didn't I practice this… Actually I know why, it's because I never thought I'd need to learn how to change my eyes slightly purple to prevent a bunch of random people noticing my eyes changing colour. But really this is what's actually going to get my caught, my eyes?! I have wings for crying out loud and my eyes that just sometimes change colour are what get me.*

Kat couldn't believe how things had turned out. *Should I pretend to take out contacts maybe? But no I can't do that because if any of them have the flash on they'll go purple again.*

During Kat's internal monologue she kept lightly applying her calming aura to the surroundings. *At least I have an instinct for calming aura that tells me how heavy I can lay it on people before they notice.*

To Kat this feeling was something akin to knowing how hard you could squeeze a grape or knowing how to keep a shovel balanced on your hand. She was constantly making slight adjustments to the aura to keep it from getting noticed lowering and raising the intensity as needed to keep everyone calm but unaware. She was surprised at just how easy that was compared to lighting her eyes up slightly.

During these thoughts the first group had assembled around Kat, kept a mostly respectable distance from her but everyone was packed quite tightly into the corner, so a little discomfort was expected

"Ok, so I've got this girls camera" said Vivian pointing to one of the girls on the edge of the crowd "you can see her for this picture afterwards" Vivian waiting another moment before giving the call "Say demons"

"Demons" said the group, and as the flash went of Kat felt the energy behind her eyes lurch forward straining against her control to further reinforce her eyes. She was able to hold it together for a moment until more energy crashed into the energy she was holding and sent the lot of it into her eyes. Luckily the area was more than well lit and whatever light there might have been went unnoticed.

*Damn that was close, I need to be more careful next time.* The crowd dispersed somewhat slowly but Vivian shooed them off and ensured nobody was trying to sneak into extra photos.

The second group was much like the first except this time when Kat stared intently at Vivian's hand and the moment before the flashed went off released the energy. Kat felt it return towards her core only to burst forth to cover her eyes once the flash began. *I can't believe I didn't notice this reaction when I was in the tunnels. It's so easy to tell when my body is using energy for stuff. Wait do I use it to regenerate as well?*

--

User Kat likely uses Demonic Energy to regenerate. While D.E.M.O.N.S is unable to confirm at this time, it is only standard for certain other species of demons to use other sources of energy such as Gorgers which can also use stored mass.

--

Kat nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw the familiar burning text appear in front of her. *I'd almost expected not to hear back from the system at all until it'd sorted everything out. I'm, actually kind of glad it's still here though.*

Quickly recovering from the shock Kat watched Vivian direct everyone to some other poor sap who had to go through the effort of getting a group of fifteen-ish peoples contact information.

The third group of people were now crowding around Kat. Gathering around, lining up, getting everyone to fit into position. Kat prepared her energy behind her eyes ready to let go just before the flash just like last time. The moment Vivian's hand touched the button Kat let go of the energy and waited for a flash… that didn't come. *I didn't think they'd have the flash off.*

Kat panicked and tried to grasp the energy she had been keeping behind her eyes but she felt it slipping away back into her core. Putting the full weight of her mental energy behind it only made it halt in place traveling neither up or done. *What am I supposed to do? Why can't I move this.* Time slowed as Kat searched for a solution.

--

User Kat is informed that Demonic Energy will return to the User's core if possible after completing a command.

--

*Ok, I can work with this.* Dropping her control of the current energy she reached into her core for more and found plenty awaiting her command. Pulling it swiftly up behind her eyes once again Kat could only hope that she hadn't lost the purple glow when the camera took her picture.

The final group was preparing to take the last picture. It had quite a few extra people in it who had joined in towards the end but it was just barely a manageable amount for their little corner. Kat however was distracted.

*Ok, so how do I safely manage this. I need to hold the energy behind my eyes to keep them purple. I also need to let go of that energy when the flash turns on so that my eyes don't actually start glowing. But I also need to be careful about if there isn't a flash. If there is no flash, I'll need to pull the energy up myself after I let go of the first batch to keep the amount behind my eyes consistent enough.*

Vivian prepared to take the final photo, her bright smile slightly strained. She'd seen Kat's expression go through a number of rapid changes during the four photos, Most people wouldn't have noticed but Vivian was keeping her eyes squarely on Kat, perhaps the only other person to pick up on the rapid and subtle expressions was Sylvie but she was a bit short to see over the crowd.

Vivian pressed her finger down and once again there was a flash. Kat quickly let go of the energy behind her eyes before grasping at some still in her core. Letting the first crash happen Kat waited until she could feel the protective energy fade from her eyes before she pushed more up to take its place.

*Ok, I think I've managed it. I'm somewhat disappointed there was a flash. I need to test this sort of thing out in the future. Perhaps after today I need to spend some time really testing out my abilities. Now that I've awakened, I doubt I'll be going through so many rapid changes.*

While the groups were distracted with handing over their contact details to Vivian's chosen sacrifice, Vivian managed to round up the girls and slip through the crowd unnoticed. How she did this was beyond Kat's understanding. *How is everyone so distracted? Vivian just walked through them, with me in hand and no one even glanced back.* In the end Vivian lead the group to the food court for lunch. Kat found herself to not feel like food at all, which was strange because it was now 1:30pm. *Hey system, is there a reason I'm not hungry at all?*

--

User Kat has fully awakened. As a demon not of the Gluttony Classification food consumption has likely been drastically reduced. User Kat is likely capable of ingesting food still but the quantity has been limited slightly.

--

*Good to know, I guess?*

"Kat, are you sure you don't want anything?" said Vivian already munching on her salad.

"Uh, no thank you. Apparently, it's because of that thing from yesterday" said Kat

Vivian nodded in understanding but turned to Sylvie "Has Kat always eaten well before" said Vivian

"Yup, she always ate more than me at meals" said Sylvie also with a salad in front of her. Sylvie seemed to be enjoying it less than Vivian but was making no complaints.

"Yeah, I can confirm that as well, I've seen Kat eat a bunch at school" said Lily who was the odd one out eating a burger.

Kat blushed slightly but it was very noticeable to the others.

"I didn't eat that much. I mean, I did plenty of physical exercise just getting to and from school so it's fine" said Kat. Sylvie nodded sagely, while Vivian and Lily stifled laughs. Choosing to ignore the two Kat through out another question for the system. *If demons can get classifications like gluttony does that mean I'm related to lust because I am a Succubus?*

--

User Kat does not yet have a classification. Demon Classification is traditionally done after the User reaches Rank 2 and powers relating to the Classification begin manifesting. Some demons can display Classification Markers earlier, but User Kat has shown no defining characteristics of any Classification at this time.

--

*Just great, I've got a whole world of sin still open to me… I do wonder what I will be classified as though. I don't think I'm particularly sinful in any area…*

Hi everyone. I'm wondering what you thought of the chapter. In a lot of ways it's a bit of a strange one but I think it turned out pretty well. I'm curious to see how other people percieved it

บท 54: Chapter 54 Honestly I need to Get Back to Summonings, I Promise Only 1 More Chapter of Earth Stuff After This

After the group finished eating lunch Vivian addressed everyone and said "So, we don't have much time before we have to go and meet my friend. Kat you have five minutes to go buy something"

"What are you talking about Vivian?" said Kat

"Well I did say that you need at least one thing to decorate your room" said Vivian

"What about Sylvie? She only picked up a book, I can just pay for one of Lily's" said Kat

In response Sylvie pulled out a bag and placed it on the table. Inside were a number of decorations for her room. Some notable inclusions where a tiny rug, a stuffed demon toy that had batwings and a tail similar to Kat's, with black hair and red eyes and of course the book mentioned earlier.

"When did you pick up so much stuff" said Kat

"When you were getting your picture taken. Lily and I grabbed a few things that looked nice" said Sylvie with a cheeky grin.

*Ugh, so now I have to go looking for something? Like what?*

"What am I even supposed to grab Vivian? I've never really decorated my room before" said Kat

"Well you have to pick something, and you have four minutes now, go shoo" said Vivian

Kat looked around for help from Lily or Sylvie but they just both shrugged at Kat like it was none of their concern.

"Really Lily even you?" said Kat

"Honestly Kat, I think having a bit of personality in you room will do you good" said Lily

Kat sighed and looked around the food court searching for something easy to grab.

"You won't find anything right here. You'll have to find something outside of the food court. Better start walking. I promise we'll keep up" said Vivian with her trademark smile

*Fine… I think I saw a shop with some nicknacks around.* Backtracking a slight way Kat found the shop she had been looking for. It didn't seem to have a visible but inside it had a large collection of random things.

From clocks to coasters, from sculptures of fairies, to carvings of toads somehow this shop seemed to pack everything into it. *The only problem with this shop is that most of this stuff isn't that well made.* Thought Kat as she examined one of the nicer looking fair sculptures before putting it down.

Kat let her eyes wander through the shop. *So what can I get? Maybe a clock? That's at least somewhat practical for me to have.* Moving towards the section housing the clocks Kat was surprised by one clock in particularly. The clockface was fairly standard but the edges were decorated with a fire pattern that seemed to shift and change in colour. *There's no way… Hey system is this a magical clock? It shifts a bit like the flames when I get summoned.*

--

D.E.M.O.N.S can detect no magic within the identified object. User Kat is required to touch it for complete affirmation.

--

*Should I? Is it worth the risk?* Kat reached a shaky hand out towards the clock. Just as she touched it she felt a spark jump to her fingers and she stepped back. *Was that enough confirmation for you system?*

--

User Kat is informed that the clock contains no higher energy of any kind. D.E.M.O.N.S believes the highest probability is that the clock is simply malfunctioning and released a static discharge.

--

Kat felt her eye twitching as she looked at the clock awkwardly. *You mean to tell me, that the clearly bizarre clock in this strange store that changes colour and shocks people isn't magic?*

--

Yes. The chance of this object having magic is 0.0000000000000001%

--

"Something up with that clock Kat" said Vivian.

Kat nearly jumped out of her skin. *I didn't hear Vivian sneak up on me. Actually how did she sneak up on me anyway? My peripheral vision is exceptional now. How could I have missed her?*

"Nothing, it's a completely normal clock" said Kat

"Hmmm, but you were staring at it so intently. Is this the kind of thing you like?" said Vivian

"No, it's just… This reminds me of the summoning portal. It's all rainbows and fire. I thought the clock might be special, but it turns out that it's a completely normal clock" said Kat

"Well, I that's a shame. And I will say I'm a little disappointed that you are trying to cheat and get a clock" said Vivian

"How is it cheating to get a clock?" said Kat

"You should get something that speaks to you, I bet you thought of getting a clock because it's at least somewhat practical right?" said Vivian

Vivian's words hit Kat hard. "That was-" Kat's retort died on her throat. She was incapable of finishing the sentence to deny Vivian's words. Vivian for her part just smiled like the cat that ate the canary. Or perhaps the canary had its chance to eat a Kat.

"Fine, I promise to keep looking for something else" said Kat

"Do I have to make you sign a contract dear" said Vivian with a pout.

"You don't have to go that far. Plus you should be careful trying to invoke a contact with me. You've seen the chains Vivian, that isn't my power, or at least I don't think it's really mine… I just don't understand what it does" said Kat

"Well, just don't go trying to break them hmm" Said Vivian

"Fine" huffed Kat

Returning to scanning the shelves Kat was struggling to find something that was worthwhile. After some further investigation Kat realised her first impression of the store might have been uncharitable. *It isn't like there's no finely crafted things here, it's just that they aren't the majority.* Switching tact Kat instead walked over to Lily to see if she'd found anything of note.

"Hey Lily, found anything worthwhile" said Kat

"Well…" said Lily "I might have found something but, it's… well I'll just show you"

Lily lead Kat back over to the sculpture section. Brushing aside some of the less well crafted ones Lily pulled out a sculpture of an angel sitting in the back. The angel was sitting down and holding a book in her hand. She had long wings that encircled the front of her body, not closing completely but being pulled forward a decent way. The angel's body was sitting on an intricately designed chair of thorns. The angel seemed to be both young, and yet ancient at the same time, especially when you looked at the eyes, that were pitch black.

"This is really nicely done. What's weird about it though?" said Kat looking the figure over.

"Well, I just can't shake the idea that the face looks familiar somehow. I mean it's not like I really recognise it but I get the feeling I should" said Lily

Kat held the statue up to her eyes. Taking a quick glance around to ensure that they were alone she pressed a bit of energy into her eyes and looked at the face. The angel had large eyes, a small nose and mouth, and Lily was right. The face invoked a strange feeling of familiarity. *Huh, Lily was right. Why could this seem so familiar? It's really well made but this feeling is a little off-putting especially when I can't figure out why it looks familiar.*

Putting the statue back Kat spoke "So anything else you recommend. I think you're right, that statue does like familiar and it bugs me"

"Not really, sorry Kat' said Lily looking down.

Kat shrugged and pulled Lily along. This time looking for Sylvie instead, perhaps she'd found something of interest. They found Sylvie closely examining some of the wood carvings.

"Anything good over here?" said Kat

"Not really" said Sylvie as she glanced at the other two.

"Welp, you'll have to pick something because I've already given you ten minutes" said Vivian as she appeared from nowhere.

"How do you keep doing that" said Kat. Vivian just shrugged in response.

"Pick something, right now, quick quick" said Vivian

*Uh, um* Kat's thoughts stuttered as she walked back over to the angel statue Lily had found. *The whole overly familiar thing still bugs me but I guess I don't have the time.*

Picking up the statue and taking it to the counter, the lady hardly glanced at Kat twice as she scanned the item and put it away in a box. *Huh, I thought I'd at least get some response from her considering I'm a demon buying an angel. Guess this city is more used to this sort of outfit than I thought.*

"Good, I'm glad you picked something nice, we do really need to get going though" said Vivian as she scooped up Sylvie and started to lightly jog out of the store.

"I can carry Sylvie if you want" said Kat

"Nonsense, I'm abusing this chance to carry my daughter" said Vivian

"I'm probably stronger than you are now" said Kat

"Strength has nothing to do with it, I'll pick you up as well if you want" said Vivian as she moved Sylvie onto one arm and made grabbing motions with the other.

"Huh, heh, ha" panted Lily "Slow down, please"

Kat simply picked Lily up in a princess carry as her response. Not to be outdone Vivian switching Sylvie to the same position.

"Kat this is embarrassing" said Lily

"Don't worry about it" said Kat. *I thought she was having difficulty keeping up what's the problem?*

Lily just sighed at Kat's response, resigning herself to her friends' antics.
