I shake my head, as invasive and crawling and down right unpleasant thoughts seep into my mind, the kind of thoughts that would get me whipped red back home

I smirk, and flap my wings a bit as I start to walk through the near pitch black room in the rafters and....wait, I can smell food...smells like sausages, pancakes, and fish again. Always with the fish...Still, smells much better than anything I used to cook up back home.

Closing my eyes, I stand still and try to figure out how close all that food is to being done...the fish still smells somewhat raw but...I'm pretty sure that's a rich thing right? Eating raw fish just sort of seems high class for some reason.

I sigh, Can't tell if it's about to be done, but at least I know it's morning. A smile creeps across my lips as Iris snores loudly, flapping her wings as she rolls over in her bed, making the chains clink and rattle.

Let's prove our usefulness as a chef

Well, I can't just leaver her, and I'm pretty sure she'll wake up anyways...not like there's much for me to do without her anyways. Not ever sure if I can go out to the city yet. I walk over to her bed, as close as I can without having to worry about getting smacked on the head by it. I scoot a bit closer, despite myself, and start to feel more at ease, and less like I want to run out of my skin and freak out. I sigh and flop down onto my side, wincing as I hit the hard wooden floor, more because of how cold it is, didn't really hurt at all.

I lay there for awhile, trying to decide what to do with myself until she wakes up, curling and stretching my toes in thought. Nothing comes to fill my head, so I just curl up, trying to stay warm and keep myself calm as I can. And then I see it, about a foot or two away from me, laying on the floor away from the other teetering towers of books and tomes, novels and catalogues of all sorts. Its bound in some sort of rotting leather, that's as red as blood and almost looks like it's just made out of hardened and stretched blood some how.

I look up, and see Iris on the edge of the bed, smiling in her sleep as her ears twitch and she stretches her wing out, rolling back over to the other side with a moan...She must be dreaming. So I best be quite so I don't disturb her.

Crawling close to the ground, I place my hand on the book, seeing carved runes and other...strange things on the cover, and a single bronze clasp holding the strangely sized and cut pages in side. I run my fingers over it, as I pick it up with my spare arms. It opens with a crack as I work my nails under it, and the book, nearly the size of my new body, falls open.

"Greetings" rusted brown words say as they whip along the blank pages, forming a very fancy looking scrawl "If you can read this, the knowledge of those who torment the damned is yours to take, say your question, and I will answer, for I am the tome of hungered knowledge"

cont

>>46927692
"What?" I gasp in quite surprise. I tilt my head, I've never really had the chance to read many books in my old life...but I'm pretty sure books aren't supposed to to write themselves.

"Correct you are" the words reform themselves after a second of swirling around "But I am not written by mortal hands, the digested and consumed remains of demons seven birthed me into existence, and I serve to tell all who can understand my text all they need to know, only those with special sight or of the damned may peer into my pages, so tell me young twisted thing, what secrets do you wish to unlock, for your master....or yourself"

"Magic!" I shout, and freeze up not even a second later as I realize my mistake. I slowly look over my shoulder, and see Iris shudder and whimper, before she covers her head with her wings, and stops moving again.

I sigh in relief, and run my top right hand through my hair as I turn back to the book, and see that it's page is already filled with text, and I can hear it scrawling more words out far faster than I can read.

"Magic is...well magic, it is hard even for me to explain it beyond that, it is like the air, like the blood coursing through your veins, it just simply is, it always has been, it is dreaming, it is knowledge, it is power" The words say, as I can almost hear a brisk and slightly annoyed but cultured sounding voice in the back of my head "Originally this world had only trace amounts of its own, and was instead filled with"

"I mean my magic, tell me about my magic" I sigh quietly, leaning closer to the book as the page blanks instantly, and the book whips it pages against my face

"Could've said that earlier" A scrawl covers half of the two pages "Well....from your touch I can taste creativity, imagination, the soul of an artist worked down into it's most basic form, it seems yours revolves around your thoughts, namely how creative your mind can be, if you are a fool as I suspect, it is useless, but if you have some spark of brilliance to you...well you are to be envied by many, my reader, as in its most primal form you can create most anything with nary a thought, but it is made of the stuff of dreams"

"Well you don't have to be rude" I huff angrily as I start to turn the rapidly clearing page out of habit

I yelp in pain, as two of my fingers get cut on the edges of the paper, smearing the book crimson....and slightly pink.

"And you do not have to touch me!" My blood spells out, as I hear the words hissed in the back of my head "Cur"

"Well aren't you just a ball of joy" I mumble angrily to myself as I hear Iris making more noises behind me, like she's going to wake up, blushing as I realize I'm talking to a book, one with an attitude, but still...

"And you are a mewling infant, I have my demands for treatment, and I expect them to be followed, even by kin" the words spell out, some of them a bit fresher looking than the others "Now if you are done complaining, Ask another question, I am being driven to insanity waiting"

"Eeeerghm" Iris yawns, flapping her wings once or twice as I hold the book open.

"Huuuh" She says tiredly, as wind pushes against my back "What are you doing awake so early? oh wait can you actually read it?"

"Unless she is a very good actor, which I find to be the most unlikely possibility, yes she can" The text spells out, as I read it in a very annoyed sigh, as Iris wraps her wings around my shoulders and leans against me, peeking over my shoulder.

She's smiling, very widely, to the point I can see her fangs fully

"Well go on" She says somewhat sternly, shaking me in her grasp "What does it say then, I need to know!"

the words don't change.

Lets start with a question that we can answer that is simple and doesn't start awkward. Maybe we can do a yhing where we ask something and then she asks something? And back and forth it?

Also, that pie and fish question just leaves me wondering how her home circumstances got her to expiriment with that!

ALSO:

Don't tell her the nature of OUR magic unless Iris asks specifically.

Her magic is the same as ours, we and she already know this.

>>46928530
Nice combo, backing this one.

>>46928515

Also this.

>>46928556
Ah okay. Well i think we should abuse the fuck out of the fact that only we can read the book, even if it is just in little ways, information is power here as a demon slave.

>>46928602
Why would we do that?
Iris isn't our enemy, we don't benefit from her not knowing things.

Changing mine
>>46928475
To this
>>46928530

>>46928602
Uh no, Fuck being a bitch, We like Iris, Plus we're a peasant girl getting to serve the fucking BRAUSER'S family!

I hope at least once we hear somone say "Mien Brauser!"

>>46928648
>>46928691
>>Not getting it

I'm not talking about making shit up or straight up lying, i'm talking about playing the demon game of telling 3/4 truths and leaving out tidbits like a lawyer so that some day that tid bit will SAVE. OUR. ASS.

We want to get free of Iris, not today, not ten years from today maybe, but someday there will be a point where even if we want to be friends with her we don't want to be chained and leashed to her whims, whatever potentially sick things those may be, forever.

I'm just saying, we should look ahead a little bit, and try to help ourselves out of this hellish existence by having some means to do something for ourselves.

>>46928775
>We want to get free of Iris
No, we actually don't.

I turn away, feeling a little embarrassed for several reason, including Iris holding me like this, and the book continuing to insult me like its actually a person instead of a bunch of foul mouthed paper.

I sigh and smile, holding the book up so Iris can see it a bit, and I wince as she digs her claws into my shoulders to get a closer look by looking over me, covering me in her shadow.

I can feel that...feeling starting up again, and I pull my one of my hands away from the book to fidget and rub my fingers together to try and loose some of the energy suddenly rushing through me.

"Unless she is a very good actor, which I find to be the most unlikely possibility, yes she can" I say as polietly and dignified as I can with Iris practically laying on top of me like this.


"Oh....interesting, absolutely fascinating !" She practically purrs, leaning even further on me "So you can actually read this!....garble, unless your just trying to be cute and play around"

"Do you only get excited over books Ma.." I says, suddenly even for me "Master"

"Oh, well that's a sudden question isn't it Mali?" She says, looking down at me in the eyes "Well I guess I don't, I just love reading them more than I do talking to people or...other things really"

"Clearly" the book says, a smug voice giggling in the back of my head

"...Er" Iris says awkwardly as she crawls off of me, as I just sit there in silence, feeling my heart race like a horse "Could you ask it another question, sorry for..laying on you?"

"It's fine" I say happily as I clear my throat, and run my top right hand down the page, chuckling as it fills with some very foul words and...some really unreadable scrawl "...Demon, you said that earlier, what is a demon exactly"

"IMBECILE, IT IS WHAT YOU ARE, AND WHAT I WAS MADE FROM" the book scrawls, turning hot as it starts to drip and almost drool with ink

Oh noes, we need to live in a amazing castle, assisst a nice and friendly girl in her life and get sweet superpowers, the horror

>>46928784
>>46928804
I should have specified more clearly.

I want to be free of Iris eventually.

Other anons may want to be free of Iris eventually.

I believe there will be a point where Iris and the MC's desires will collide and she will want to be free of her.

Just saying, not trying to push my whims on the playerbase, just i hope we don't stay full slave.

>>46928801

And I start to repeat it, in a much calmer, and nicer voice, as Iris kicks her feet out, and stares at it like its and adorable little kitten meowing for attention

"THE TORMENTORS OF SINNERS, ALL SINNERS, MAN, BEAST OR MONSTER, THE DENIZENS OF THE HELLISH PLANE OF EXISTENCE, THOSE WHO FELL FROM GRACE AND WERE CONSUMED BY THEIR DUTIES, YOU ARE AN FOOL BEYOND COMPREHENSION, YOU DENY YOUR PURPOSE, UNDERSTAND ME NOW, YOU'LL NEVER GROW PLAYING DOG TO A MORTAL WITCH AND...Sorry for that, I got a little...riled up I think you mortals would say, but in simplest terms, a demon is a creature from beyond that...well is meant to punish those who sin, and corrupt ones who haven't into sinning, understand...my sweet?"

"Its Alive" Iris says with a sly smile, licking her fangs "that's unexpected, and...very exciting ehehehe, still I don't like it's attitude but, I guess I can understand it, being cooped up in bindings all day, not even able to be read, What a shaaame it must be"

"Haaaaa" the book writes out "From a treasured artifact of power to the play thing of a whelp and a half breeded cur, what have I fell to?"

"Oh" Iris says happily pulling my into a quick hug before she pulls away, looking embarrassed "Sorry I just thought, I could thank you like that but...I don't really hug people or"

And before she can finish up what she was going to say, I pull her into a hug, or as much as I can, I just end up tugging on her a bit as I hug her with all four of my arms, She freezes, and just sort of sits there awkwardly, before I let go of her, and smile.

"Oh Don't worry about it, I liked it" I say happily, looking up at her as her serious expression cracks just enough for a smile to curl on her lips.

"Oh, well that's good" She says nodding slowly "Not really a hugging person anyways..but I'm glad I at least.."

"OOOooooooooooi!" I hear Her older brother shout from under our "Floor" "Iris, and....demon! Breakfast is done, and I know for certain at least one of you needs to eat, and I should have to say who, hurry up before Mizuki eats all of it"

"Oh, didn't know it was that early" Iris says flatly as she stands up and flaps her wings "though I must've missed it again and..Oh you need to still meet my sisters don't you"

"Yeah I haven't seen them yet" I say happily as I stand up and follow her to the hole leading to the main hallish sort of room "What are they like anyways?"

"Oh they're....unique" She says as she drops out of the floor "don't worry you'll see what I mean soon"

I smile and jump after her, and yet myself fall a bit longer than I should for the whooshing and rising thrill.

I nearly slam into the ground, but manage to land on my feet, a little bit away from Alexander, and Iris.

"You should really get a ladder or something up there" He says calmly as he starts to walk away

"And how would I climb it?" Iris asks, stretching her wings out "I don't have any hands"

"You can climb with your feet, dear sister" Alex says teasingly "I've seen you do it"

"Don't just say that so casually!" Iris shouts, turning a bit red as she flaps her wings about angrily, her glasses nearly falling off as I almost swear I see Alexander smirk.

So from the last thread, there was talk about focusing on Creation magic with some Change magic?
Sounds fun to act defenseless then change into a horrifying beast and creating our own armor and weapons for protection.

>>46929693
>Sounds fun to act defenseless then change into a horrifying beast and creating our own armor and weapons for protection.
While possible, I don't think thats going to be our focus.
More likely we use Creation for the magic music and stuff like that, crowd control etc.
Change is trickier but we'll have to see what it lends itself to.

Anyway, Change is definitly next on our magic list.

>>46929693
>Sounds fun to act defenseless then change into a horrifying beast and creating our own armor and weapons for protection.
Depends if Change transformation gives us better physical stats or not, I imagine if it does only far deeper into the affinity.

"What, it's true" Alexander says coolly, walking down the line of statues with a shrug as he puts his hands into his pockets "You do climb on things like that, you've seen her right little demon?"

"Yes, I know I do, but it's still embarrassing" Iris says angrily as she follows close behind him, wrapping her wings around herself like a flowing coat "and isn't something you can just freely talk about"

"Then why do you do it?" Alex asks, looking back at his sister with the slightest of smiles "if it's so embarrassing"

"Because, it's easier than walking" Iris sighs, looking defeated as she slumps over and sighs "and that's the only reason, it's like instinct at this point"

"Well I'm sorry I brought it up then, I just thought maybe you could use a ladder" Alexander sighs, shaking his head

"I don't want people in my room Alex" Iris says, pouting slightly "I enjoy my solitude thank you very much"

"Well you let the demon up in there" Alex says flatly as they stop just outside a set of double doors with handles shaped like cats in gold, with various designs and carvings, mostly of a woman with long hair and glasses like Iris, set into it with silver

"She's different" Iris says looking back at me.

I smile and stop as they walk into the door. I hear it close after I hear a brief bit of noise, but I don't move, I just raise my my hand, and clench it as I start to try and figure out, what the book meant when it was like the air, or the blood in my veins.

I start to feel a cool burning sensation under the skin of my palm and.

With the Illusion and Creation trees I see a lot of potential to play dumb tricks like Portal's "the cake was a lie"

In an instant, the lines of glowing text start to swirl around as I shout with joy for Iris, to show her what I made, and the door swings back open, the smell of delicious and freshly cooked food, I swear I can taste it already, or at least imagine it enough to start drooling.

The light flashes as text breaks away and vanish inside of it and it starts to shake around in my hand, rising up a bit as simple white flowers like the ones I used to see growing around the farmhouse sprout out of it, and then I realize they aren't real, just plastic stuck in the shape of wings to a chocolate statue made into the shape of a little bat.

I hold it up and.

"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!?" Iris shouts as she drags me into the dining room, shaking me as she grins widely.

"Oh....so she's actually here?" a dignified voice says kindly "Well, let me welcome you to the family"

"Oooh isn't that an interesting feeling" Another, teasing voice says as I hear a knife get stabbed into a wooden table "Doesn't it feel like the air just got cold or something?"

"Oh, I knew I felt some dark presence besides my own"A serious, but soft voice says behind iris

I blink and look up at My master's near demented eyes and

make a small white chocolate version of the bat it would be infinitely better and none of you can say prove otherwise.

I'm taking a wild guess and saying poisons or medicines. At least herbal kinds.

Well, we could do like what >>46930107
Suggests. Maybe we can also alter the states of said objects, i.e temperature, structure, composition. Poisons and salves, etc.

And with our immense knowledge of food types, and our demonic nature I expect we are well familar aphrodesiacs.

Well, I was more looking at it on the cooking subgroup. Subtle changes should be fine. Not like turning a soup into a pot roast. Which is how I view change.

>[] Hide behind her

Are Maria and Layla eating with us?

"Well it was sort of like...I don't know it was kind of weird" I say slowly as I try to figure out exactly what I just did just now, it was...like I was forcing it into being, not entirely sure how but I'm pretty sure it had to do with those recipes, I mean I've made chocolate before, maybe that's why I was able to do it now?

"Yes and?" She asks, sternly giving me a quick shake, a gentle one, but it still feels like she's expecting that to make it easier for me to remember "Please I need to know, even if it's just a hint of what I have to do to use it, cooome on"

She pouts, her bat ears flopping down as she chews on her lip, and her siblings remains silent, beyond the occasional clattering of silverware, and what sounds disturbingly like bones breaking.

"Well I just thought about it and it happened, it's...really hard to explain, it's like trying to say how you know how to move your legs or..ar..wings" I say smiling as she frowns and tilts her head, nodding slowly "I can't really explain more than that, I don't know honestly"

"Oh well, at least you tried" Iris says happily, patting me on the head as best as she can as she starts to stand up "I'll just"

"Iris, sit down, you know mother would be upset if you skipped breakfast again" The dignified voice said calmly

"Sorry Karla" Iris groans as she turns back to the table and starts to walk away, before I grab her wing and pull it gently, She looks back down at me frowning "Oh? did you remember something"

I hold the chocolate up without a word, and she smiles, and tries to break a piece of it off with her wings, and struggles with it, just scratching it gently.

"I..I got it" she says turning red, as I hear a playful giggle behind her, as a girl that looks kind of like her peeks over her shoulder.

"I got it" She repeats sadly as the girl frowns, a pair of light brown cat ears sticking out of the top of her head, flopping down over her hair of the same color, that's cut about as short as mine.

"Oooh do you need some help lil sis?" The girl asks happily, smiling and showing her fangs

"No, I got it" Iris says stubbornly as I hear Alexander cough loudly

"Vera" he says sternly

"Hey, she actually needs some help!" Vera says, crouching low to the ground as she scampers back to her chair, only standing back up half way their "Buuut fine, I won't help her then

Iris continues to struggle for a bit, wrapping her wings around herself as she crosses her legs, looking more like she's holding them back than anything else

She stops to take a deep breath and then goes back to trying to pry the actually pretty thick chocolate bat in half, looking serious as she strains her wings weird little finger things against it, biting her lip like she's actually starting to hurt herself trying to break it.

And that's when I come in. I reach up and hold it in to place, as she barely pays attention to me, as she moves her wings across it trying to find a weak point.

Vera looks back at me with her red eyes and smirks, giving me a thumbs up as she leans back in her chair. Alright then, I guess its okay. I push up and

"YES!" Iris shouts, covering her mouth as she realizes she just cheered for breaking some chocolate, Vera just giggles as I hold my piece, which is a wing and a quarter of the round...and disturbing realistic back "Erm, yes, I uh, just...please forget this just happened"

She nibbles on the chocolate, not saying a word as I pull the chair next to her out and climb into it. getting a good look at the other three of her siblings for the first time.

Vera...looks more like a cat than a twin, just the way she holds herself, she's a bit smaller than her is, but looks....well like one of those drunks mum always told me to stay away from, but sobber, her hair is a mess, and she seems to be planning something with the knife she's stabbing into the table over and over again.

And next to her, past two seats pushed together, is the one I'm assuming is Karla, who has long hair...around the same Color as vera's if slightly more..reddish? She has it tied up in a pretty classy looking braid that hangs over the side of her shoulder, well some of it, the rest of it is quite messy. And besides that...she just looks normal, besides the blood red eyes and fangs, if I didn't know better I'd think she was the mother of this little family with how she looks.

I blink as she smiles, and I realize she's looking back at me, along with Vera.

>>46930982
Where's Mizuki?

>>46930982

"So you must be her Familiar then" She says happily "I...she already told me not to ask you your name for personal reasons, so If you have anything you want me to call again just ask, I'd be happy to oblige, I mean after all, you're taking care of my little sister after all, which as far as I care, that makes you family"

"Yeah, besides you look pretty cool" Vera says, keeping her chair balanced on one leg "and not to out of place, besides the hair and eyes...still, don't know why she didn't just ask for a dog, they're so much better for hunting, which is kind of ironic, considering"

Vera wiggles her ears and giggles.

"That was a little rude Vera" Karla says calmly as she takes a sip from her wine glass "She's a lot more than what you realize"

"So...Mizuki is in trouble for kidnapping some one and Iris gets to have someone as a little helper? how does that work out?" Vera asks, looking confused

"it's complicated" Iris says quietly as she barely looks up, probably still feeling embarrassed.

"Yes, trust me, she is much more than a dog" Alexander says as I realize there's someone sitting next to him, and I remember the other voice.

She looks kind of...well like those ghost stories pa told me to make me behave, what with her long black hair hanging over her face with just some faintly glowing eyes peering out from under it. She sighs and her hair spreads apart, revealing a slightly pointed chin and the top of her shirt, which unlike Karla's looks far more casual, and is almost as torn up as Vera's is, but isn't covered in blood or dirt, but it's pretty color.

She has a..kind of odd book in her hand and...she's look at me. I freeze as she struggles with her hair, and looks at me with tired eyes...oh she isn't scary at all, she's just kind of...well, is. Looks kind of puppyish.

And she smiles, tilting her head.

"H...hey" she mumbles waving slightly as Alexander looks over to me, still drinking his...well I hope its wine at least

"OH!" I say loudly, making Iris yelp and cover her ears with her wings, and Vera to fall out of her chair as Alexander winces, splashing a bit of ..Oh I really hope that's wine and not blood "You must be Mizuki, it's nice to meet you"

I slump back in my chair, staring at the bit of the the long table in front of me as I hear Vera cursing angrily on the floor.

"Okay, that surprised me" Vera laughs, not getting up from the floor

"You okay sis?" Alexander asks, peeking over the table as Mizuki just keeps staring at me, without saying a word.

"Yeah, my ass just broke the chair, nothing to worry about" Vera says calmly "Hurt a bit, but eh"

Karla sighs as Iris finally takes her wings off her ears.

"Yeah, you might want to keep it down, most of our family has a little trouble with loud noises" Karla says softly as Iris, looks over to me, pouting.

I glare at Malizeral as she looks up at me, looking horrified and guilty as her wings wrap around her defensively, my ears still ringing as her shout bangs around in my head. Okay that actually hurt a bit, probably shouldn't have kept my ear turned towards her, knowing how easily excited she is.

Her pupils whirl around, forming an almost tear drop shape.

Part of me wants to be mad at her, but she really didn't know, and she was just trying to be nice, besides she's had a harder week than I will ever have. And Besides, she's done nothing but help me and be nice, it's be kind of a...bitchy thing to do to just yell at her because she didn't realize how sensetive my ears were.

"Hey, its alright Mali" I say as I gently pat her on the head, being careful to avoid her horns, in case they do anything, and in case they do, so Mizuki doesn't get any ideas "I'm not mad just...in a bit of pain"

"Sorry" She says, with that odd voice of hers, it sounds a little windy and buttery, its a real treat on the ears when she isn't shouting "I was just trying to be friendly and...well I guess I got a little loud"

"Understatement" Alexander mummers, making Malizeral start frowning again.

I sigh and turn back around to look at my older sister, who like usual isn't acting like her age, just laying on what's left of her chair.

"Are you sure you're okay Vera?" I ask softly as she looks up at me and hops up "Nothing pieced"

"Oh I'm sure, just a little shaken" She giggles, licking her fangs as she wipes some of the blood she spilled off her shirt and licks it "Not stirred"

I smirk as I grab my glass of blood and take a sip of it as Malizeral makes a worried sigh. I turn back around and she's still frowning and looking guilty about yourself

"Look, don't worry about it, just" I say slowly as she looks up at me, and tilts her head "Next time shout away from my ears"

"Oh don't worry, I already figured that out, I'm just no used this much food...and well any of this" She says, moving her lower arms around to motion to everything in the room

I smirk as I hear Vera and Karla giggle, as Alex stays as stone faced as he usually does when he isn't doing something her considers fun.

"So" I say smiling as grab a green apple to go with my cup of blood, rolling it around idly with my wings "They're sleeping in again then?"

"Well, do you want to wake mom up?" Vera yawns, closing her eyes as she sits against the table "Besides, they'll be down by lunch at least"

"I know...but still I think Mali here would get along with" I say slowly "our "Father", and I'd like them to meet sooner than later"

"Why did you say it like that?" Mali asks as she cautitously grabs a plate and starts filling it up

"Oh you'll see, we're not a traditional family per say" Alex chuckles happily as I keep my eyes on Mali, Actually, how does she stay so...nice, I mean her death wasn't a good one, and her family sold her, and she apparently didn't realize she wouldn't be able to go back until after the fact...how can she be like this still after that? is it me...or is it all just a facade...okay this is bugging me now.

"Well isn't that a little for..foreboding" She says, smiling as she takes a second to remember the word "But still, you seem happier than my...family"

"You have a family?" Mizuki and vera ask in synch, Mizuki looking a little frustrated that our sister cut off her speech

"Hmm, who would've thought demons are so close to man" Mizuki says, putting her hand over her eye as she forget she left her eye patch in her room, she whimpers, and turns as red as the blood we're drinking.

"Well she had to come from somewhere right?" Karla says teasingly as Mizuki has a miniature break down, the human half of her slumped over the table as I hear her spider half skitter under the table, which makes Malizeral jump in surprise "Well we're a little stranger than you think, it's really complicated, but as you said, we're happy aren't we"

All my siblings and myself nod, smiling and not saying a word, besides Mizuki, who's still throwing a silent tantrum. Karla sighs, smiling slightly but looking a little tired with our sisters antics, as Alex and Vera stare eachother down as they play with their knives, their pupils going wide.

"You may want to scoot away" I whisper to Malizeral as I pull my own chair away from the table, in anticipation for the twin usual song and dance.

"Why....oh I see" She says, snickering slightly under her breath, before Karla glares at both of them and they slump back into their chairs.

"Is something the matter Mizuki?" She says kindly as Mizuki sniffles and covers her eyes, still embarrassed about losing it "Don't tell you're upset that you forgot that eye patch of yours in front of Mali"

"N..no I just need to..recharge my energies" She says shaking slightly as she rises up "I..I can I leave the table big sis?, it's really a dire matter"

"By recharge your energies do you mean try take someone else home?" Karla asks coldly as our sister covers her head and shakes it, trying to hide her perfectly fine eye from Malizeral

"No no, just...I'm starting to faaade" She whines, pouting that no one is taking her seriously today, especially because Malizeral isn't and is just staring at her in confusion

"Who did you try to nab anyways this time?" I ask, trying to sound cute as my older sister looks at me, still pouting

She turns away with a huff as Alexander looks at me and sighs

"designer's daughter, spent a week tracking leads to figure out she wasn't actually dead" He groans, shaking his head "and was just tied to my sisters room"

"As is the case for most missing persons in this city" Vera says teasingly "I mean, honestly sis, that's kind of impressive, you have to admit it"

Mizuki smiles smugly and crosses her arms, as I turn to my familar, who's trying not to giggle

"Well it's just a" Mizuki begins to say, as I put my ears down, so I can focus on

I look up at Iris, as she nearly scoots her chair into mine as Her old sister continues giving a speech, that everyone but Vera is pretending to listen to...but I think Karla might actually be listening to it. Well she kind of explains why I wasn't allowed to go out at night I guess.

I smile, and try to think about how to answer it, since I'm sure she's expecting something impressive like, I kept a heard of sheep or something, instead of just potatoes.

B-but, that's forbidden!

>>46932893
Bah, when the ritual becomes complete and the final words are struck during the last second of the last hour of the last day of Super Anime-con the Densest One shall rise!

"Yeah, never went far into the city and dad didn't really let anyone onto our land anyways" I say happily, as I stop myself from frowning as I remember why I am here in the first place, and push it to the back of my head again.

"Oh, what did you grow?" Iris asks as Mizuki continues babbling and using words I...have no idea what they are, they kind of sound like another language of sometime "if you don't mind me asking"

"Oh I grew...potatoes" I say, fulling a little embarrassed as I lick my chocolate piece, trying to enjoy it as my tongue wraps around it like a living snake.

"Errgh, potatoes, the most boring vegetable" Vera groans childishly

"HEY, don't interuppt me" Mizuki says angrily, chattering her teeth together "And potatoes are delicious, what are you talking about?"

"Well, like all vegetables, you don't have to work to get them" Vera says rubbing her fingers together "And even worse you don't even get to watch them grow, its all under ground"

"Well, I think Potatoes are a wonderful thing to grow" Karla says, trying to make me feel better "and there is work to it lil sis you just"

"Okay, Okay I meant there is no danger" Vera groans as Alexander shrugs and nods "There's no fun without a little danger"

"Yeah, when your life is on the line, things get oh so much funner" Alexander says, grinning for the first time since I met him a week ago

"Yeah it really is isn't it, on the verge of death peering over the" Mizuki begins as Vera giggles and covers her mouth, as Mizkuki pouts and looks like she's about to start crying.

"You know she doesn't like being laughed at and yet...ha" Karla groans, rubbing her forehead "Look, it's alright she just..she just, Alex help me here"

"Look, I'll just make it worse" Alexander sighs shrugging "you know how...I get sometimes, I don't want to make our dear sister cry"

"Well Vera already did a pretty good job of it" Karla grumbles as she sits back down

>>46933256

"I'm sorry Mizuki I just well I was just thinking about killer potatoes, honest" Vera says sounding pretty guilty as her ears fall flat against her head "come on don't be like that"

Mizuki huffs an turns away, both her eyes glowing blood red as awkward silence fills the room and Vera slides down her seat a bit.

"Well if you want to you can go to the city" Iris says, clearly wanting to get out of this situation.

"Killer Potatoes" I say slowly, rubbing my chin with my upper right hand as I snicker and turn in my chair to look at Vera, who's grinning ear to ear "Ahh that'd be really scary!"

"I know right!" She laughs as she leans against the table in her new chair, since her old one is currently just a pile of splinters "With those weird little roots, it'd be a right horror show"

"Oh what foolishness are you two talking about" Mizuki says, sounding as happy as she was a second or two ago "Potatoes aren't dangerous at all"

"I know but what if they were?" I ask as she frowns, and smirks slightly

"Well they wouldn't be dangerous to me at least" She says smugly, holding back a chuckles as Karla smiles and doesn't say a word, looking content in just seeing her family getting along again "then again what is?"

"Well I could just make them into fries couldn't I" Alex says, swishing his knife through the air "...that'd be one tasty fight actually"

"Well I know I'd enjoy the end of it at least"Karla says coolly as her eyes fall on something at the end of the table and she frowns.

I look over and see three empty chairs with plates in front of them, right across from me, I wonder how I didn't notice them before.

"...is someone else going to come" I ask as Karla grits her teeth and shatters her wine glass, and Vera and Alexander stop laughing, and Mizuki just sort of flop back onto table.

Karla looks up, her eyes burning red with emotion...anger and sadness, until she suddenly smiles again and says.

"Hopefully someday, just...please don't ask any more about it" like she's hurting deep inside "it's a...it's just painful alright"

"Yeah" Vera says, seriously, which sounds really odd from what little I know about he

"Hey, don't be like that, I'm sure our aunts will come back some day" Alexander says, smiling and trying to make his sisters cheer up "I'm..."

He frowns and shakes his head, falling back in his chair as Iris looks nervous and awkward again

>>46933810
"Er" She says sheepishly as she grabs my hand with her wing "I think we should go out for a bit, you need to see the city anyways, just..stay close to me alright"

I open my mouth to speak, but she just drags me out of the room as her siblings sit at the table, Mizuki still shuddering on the table, Alexander covering his eyes, Vera, nearly curled up into a ball, and Karla just covering her mouth as she stares at the table.

"so what do you like to do in the city? Anything in particular you need?"

But then the door swings shut and Iris drags me along to the massive twin doors standing in the front of the castle, and knocks on them once. She sighs, looking really torn up about what happened as the doors slowly creep open. I look at them and see a man rushing away from them, looking like he's running for his life from something, but I don't see a single thing.

"So, what was that all about" I ask when I'm sure we're far enough away for them not to hear my asking her this, but I'm still nervous, and practically whisper it to her, just to be sure.

"Don't worry about it, it's...been like this for awhile" Iris sighs sadly as we walk out in front of the castle, and I look up at a statue of a woman who looks like a...well wingless Iris almost, I stare at it for a bit, wondering who it is, since I swear I've seen her before, but Iris clears her throat as we walk past it, and gets my attention back.

"They'll be back to normal soon they just...knew them and I really didn't so, it's harder on them I think" She says as a man dressed in polished armor and one of those funny looking bullet proof vest stares out back the gate and jumps, clenching his heart

"Ah, mi'lday, you spooked me a little bit there, vat are you doing out of the castle" He asks, trying to avoid looking at me as he looks over his shoulder again

"Just going on a walk with my familar" Iris says happily as he starts to slowly and cautiously pull the gate open, like he expects me to try and pounce on him or something "If Mother or mother asks, tell them I'll be right back"

Wait...mother? I blink as my mind goes a little blank trying to figure out if that's possible, because I...don't think it is, then again I will admit I don't know much on that Particular subject.

"Oh...yes yes, just..be careful around her, she has that feeling about you" The guard says, before Iris silents him with a stare, looking pretty pissed off at what he just said.

Alright guys...Guys hear me out, Guys I mean it, guys ju-just listen real quick...what if, what if...Guys follow me here okay? What if we went back home...and spooked/kill our family a little. Just a little.

>>46934177
The man scrambles back to his post and stands as straight as straight can be as we walk past him. The path down the hill is paved with bricks, and flowering bushes with a few tall sun flowers growing between them, with stone and metal walls right behind them, covered in rivets and what looks like a bit of cement as well.


We keep walking down towards the richer part of the street, and no sooner than when I first put my foot down, does the street erupt in the barking of dogs with mushed faced bark at me from behind the iron gates of their owners two or three story house, all painted finely and dressed up to try and resemble the castle a bit.

I turn to them and start to back away, but they do the same, whimpering their tails between the legs.

A door opens, and a man with barely any hair left on his head, and wisp of a mustache peeks out, looking furious with a shout on his lips, but his eyes go wide as he sees Iris, standing in her pajamas, waving friendly with her wing.

"A...ah" He stammers "M..mi'lady Iris, I'm sorry for the trouble they caused, you and your hmm, yes, well I'll be sure to train them better...good..good day to you"

He whistle and his dogs bolt inside, yelping as he closes the door, waving back as Iris sighs.

"He's a nice man, a bit high strung at times" She says happily "And a little full of himself, since he's right under our castle but, he's a nice enough man...most of the time"

"Well, didn't seem very nice before he saw you" I say giggling

"Well, he's rather protective of his dogs" Iris says pointing at a house just across the street, four houses down "See the owner of that one, a big ol troll, well the old man thinks he ate one of them, and...complained to my mom"

"Oh, and what came of that?" I ask happily

"Well it was my other mother's birthday" Iris says giggling "And, he interuppted it, so she er, did this"

Iris clenches her wings fingers together and winces.

>>46934298

"And he fell to his knees, whimpering in pain, and my mother, was in a good mood and didn't kill him" Iris says happily as my stomach falls as dread starts to worm its way back along my back...as I remember how her mother acted when she met me, and I feel a little horrified thinking about it actually "Partially because my father..or other, whatever you want to call her, pouted and complained about it, and he's been.. very very polite since then....what's wrong mali?"

"What's wrong, that's horrifying!" I shout loudly as Iris looks confused, and a cat yowl and hisses at me "She nearly killed a man just for interrupting a party"

"Quite, I'm drinking monday tea" A grinding voice growls form the house behind us as Iris frowns and glares at the house angrily

"remind me about him when we get back" Iris says coldly as she shakes her head and smiles again "Well...she tends to do that kind of thing when she's mad... or bored really, and nothing makes her more furious than someone ruining or doing anything with her wife"

"Still, it's disturbing how happily you said it" I say shuddering as she frowns

"Oh, I was just...I forgot again" She sighs, wrapping her wings around herself like a cloak "this is why I don't go out, I always have trouble with that kind of thing?"

I open my mouth to ask, but think better of it as I walk beside her, glancing up at her now and again as we go. A dog howls and paws at the door, and She turns to look at it, and then I decide to finally speak.

"What do you" I ask as she looks back down at me, with a small curious smile on her face "think that book was screaming about demons early"

She tilts her head, and adjusts her wings

"Well...it obviously didn't like our little agreement" She says giggling "But...it seemed to be more offended that you weren't seeking power I think"

"And...it expects me to know what that means" I ask as her eyes twinkle and she smirks

"Hmm, you know" She says slowly "I wonder, just gimme a second here"

>>46934430
She grabs my hand and lifts it up, looking determined and quite pleased with herself

"What are you?" I ask before she shushes me and hold my upper left arm up higher

"Just let me try something really quickly!" She shouts happily

It REALLY sucks that caffeine has the opposite affect on me, Makes me calm.

She closes her eyes, and holds her other wing up as the golden orange light flows from my hand into her wing, various formulas and other text flowing into her as I feel a little drained and tired. The light flows out of her fingers and starts to glow, puffing out in size and cutting itself down to a scare via unseen knives or hands.


She opens her eyes and smirk as the near perfect, and very orange square drops to the ground with a loud ringing thud. She caitously pokes it with her foot and hums happily.

"I knew it" She says happily, looking back at me and going to hug me, before she stops and lets go of my hand "I can use my magic more easily the closer I am to you, the best option being when I'm actually touching you"

"And how did you figure out that would work?" I ask, feeling tired for the first time a since I was reborn, but it quickly starts to pass and go away as I start to feel like I need to run or do anything besides standing here

"Well my mother can use magic near instantly, and her demon is literally inside of her" She says flatly as she turns back to me "And...well eating you isn't an option I can stomach or even consider, so I figure that it'd have to be due to how close we are, since we're bound by blood, not spirit or anything, so it's kind of like cooking a marshmallow by holding a match over it....or something, not good with anologues"


"Yeah, but...she ate a demon?" I ask, suddenly not feeling so...good? I guess

"In a way" Iris says shrugging "she just said she ate it, but I imagine it isn't the whole story but...she only got stronger by eating other things or stealing their power....but your different than her and"

"Please can we not talk about this right now, I don't feel...r..good as is" I groan, holding my stomach as she frowns "I don't want to think about that right now"

"Yeah well, we'll have to figure out how to make you stronger then, since I doubt you need to eat people" Iris says nodding "I have an idea what you need to do"

Oh I bet Mali can "eat" something all right to get stronger.

>>46934865
"OH!" I shout excitedly, mostly out of a very sudden curiosity "And what's that then?"

"Well, you're a demon, meaning you have to torment souls or...corrupt them to be tormented" She says slowly, as she wraps her wings around herself and shivers "There's probably some other way..but lets stop talking about this right now, lets just enjoy the fresh air and get to know each other a bit"

"Oooh trust me I have no qualms with that, Iris" I say happily as I jog to catch up to her, cursing my tiny legs as I do so.

"Say" I ask as I manage to catch up to her, and look up at her as we walk down the street, and I hear a door slam shut just behind me "Why did you want a familiar anyways?"

"It's the only way I know to get magic" She says shrugging "it seemed like having a helper would ease a lot of stress and...I guess I just wanted company to be honest, and well I think I got some good company with you"

"Oh, well thanks for being so nice to me" I say nodding slowly as she smiles warmly, her fangs peeking out behind her lips as she keeps walking "And that really clears somethings up for me, it really does"

"Well, we're going to be spending a lot of time together, so we should try and get to know each other as early as we can, so we can keep getting along so well." She says shrugging as we walk down into a busiling and very noisy little market, with shops and stores, and even a few restaurants in it, it falls silent the second they see her and me, and I scoot behind her, feeling...really odd as I do so.

I start chewing on my finger as I get...hungry?

"Oooh" I say quietly, as I pull my thumb away from my lips slowly "I'd like to get to knooow yoou"

"What did you say?" She asks as I shake my head and bite down on my tongue to try and make the feeling go away

"Err" I say, looking around and is..is that an icecream shop!? I've never been to one or even had Icecream, but I've heard it's gooood, I want to go I want to goo "OH is that an icecream shop, I've never had it before, can we go, can weeee pleaaase?"

"Of course we can" She says happily "Pretty sure we don't have to pay, and you do deserve to enjoy yourself a bit, cause we're going to be training once we get back to the castle, so just relax while we're out, and besides...I want some ice cream to"

"Thaank you" I say happily as I stop myself from hugging her as we walk into the store, with the bell on the door ringing and

Does Iris get our specializations? And does she always get the same affinities we do, or can she go into a different direction?

>>46935510
You are the battery
if she studies or does a layla, she can learn magic out side of its base form
in the form of spells
but your magic is always that, and is more potent than hers is, as you are a fuck mothering demon

Thanks for the thread dude. I can't wait until Mili actually finds out what type of Demon she is. Her reaction should be fun.

Pleased to see the family is more agreeable than I pictured. Never saw the prologue bonus story in ASQ so this is new territory.

Exploring the town should be fun.

Studying is the slow path
become stronger as demon is the fast path
combining both has its benefits

Well, so was Layla when she was in a good mood...kind off?

You touched on how technology stagnated a bit with the start of the magical era. What about magical items themselves?

Ones *monster/ humans becoming monsters* who can cast spells do clean their houses with it, ones who can't might just clean it normally, or us magic items for it
and since air conditioners and other piece of noisy tech tend to attract beasts, most people shell out the extra dosh for a crystal of frozen cold to keep their house cool, for the general safety of the city

So I guess the real question will be when and how will Mili get her first perks the demon way? I mean, I can kinda guess as to the how it MIGHT happen, but not when.

Who's ready to accidentally turn someone on/feed on lusty feelings?

>Who's ready to accidentally turn someone on/feed on lusty feelings?

Born ready

So at the current level of OUR magic, would creating something like oh... a full picnic basket be feasible?
Obviously in character it wouldn't make sense but would Mali actually have the power to do something as intricate as that?
It's nice to get a feel of how far the power can range.

Turns out the ice cream man died from over excitement.

>Born ready
And I saw Mali wearing one of those lewd hats with a shirt that said born ready, just now, it was cute
that is all

>>46935772
It's powered by your imagination
but at potential 4
you can make a crappy one I guess
sort of a bundle of sticks in the vague shape of one

So what is Iris' favourite flavour? What will Mili's be?

I'm guessing Blood Orange because pun, and ALL OF THEM!!1! For Mili.

>>46935827
...Actually that is a pretty good fit, though Iris would also get Mango and cherry flavors as well, and some blood if possible, to make it go down easier, as well as some coffee sticks on the side

and Mali would do what I did in a frozen yougurt shop and make a horrifying abomination covered in every topping, made out of most flavors

>>46935827
Oh anon,only the finest flavour for our little demon. Coconut.

>>46935872
Hmm, yeah, cocunut is pretty based.
I imagine Mali would take a rather dull flavor for her favorite
after trying everything, maybe vanilla, or blueberry.

>>46935860
Note to self, make Mili learn how ro make blood pudding/sausage. All the brownie points.

>>46935872
Goood choice, but Headmaster with the slurpie cocktail moxing theory wins out.
