D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn't so Bad

Chapter 591: The Weight of Eternity and Permission to See it

This chapter is from Lilyʼs Perspective

-------------------------

Twenty minutes later Evaline was finishing her third cup of coffee and most of the pot at this point. She couldnʼt help but sigh at her daughter that was clearly stuck in her mind. Quite a few times she considered just getting her daughterʼs attention and snapping her out of that before deciding the potential for a fight wasnʼt worth it. On Lilyʼs side of things, she was wrapped up over analysing ever physical aspect of herself and trying to work out what things Kat might like. That was until a strange thought struck her.

*Wait… after I have a Memphis form would Kat prefer that I stayed like that? Iʼm not sure if I prefer that or not…* Lily started to picture herself curled up in Katʼs lap and started to salivate at the idea. *Oh yes. I have found the greatest benefit of this transformation, being able to envelope myself in Katʼs thighs without people thinking its weird. Iʼll just be like a normal cat. Totally not because I have a leg and thigh fetish.*

Lily let out a small giggle that caused Evaline to sigh heavy into her latest cup of coffee. She also decided that if Lily started giggling again it would be time to snap Lily out of her thoughts. Whatever place sheʼd ended up was clearly far removed from the issues sheʼd raised. ”At least she looks like sheʼs enjoying whatever it is now,” huffed Evaline. The giggling however, reached Lilyʼs ears and started to clear her mind slightly.

*Ok whatever that was… I think it was a bit too far. I mean really Lily laughing is fine but giggling like a pervert is not the way to go about things. Iʼm surprised you didnʼt drool over everything. Yes I know Lily Iʼm you and complaining to myself but you know what. We deserve some criticism for it. Or I do? Not sure how I want to word that. Um… what was I supposed to be doing?*

”Hey Mum…” started Lily

”Oh? Youʼre finally back Lily,” said Evaline cutting in, ”I thought I lost you there”

Lily was about to retort before her eyes slowly glanced over to the rather empty coffee pot then over to the mug in Evalineʼs hand. ”Oh” said Lily.

”Oh indeed” said Evaline with a grin.

”Um… how… how long was I out for?” asked Lily

Evaline smiled and fought down the temptation to say that it had been days as a joke Lily would never believe… then fought down the harder temptation to answer with an hour or two to humiliate her daughter a bit. ”Twenty minutes” answered Evaline honestly though with some regret.

Lily winced. ”Sorry Mum… I got distracted” as the words left Lilyʼs mouth her mind started flashing back to her most recent fantasy and her eyes started to glaze over. Evaline wasnʼt having it this time and slammed the coffee mug down onto the table with decent force and snapped Lily out of it before she got too wrapped up in her fantasy again.

Giving and awkward cough Lily turned to the side in order to not be looking directly at her mother as she blushed. It didnʼt help too much but it was something. ”Soo… what were we talking about?”

”Getting you ID” said Evaline. ”We were talking about how hard that would be. As well as the potential for invalidated medical tests and vaccines. I mean… I canʼt take you to the hospital after this, or the doctors. Even if I was willing to blow your secret or you found some way to hide things itʼs not like they could actually help you. You wouldnʼt be human anymore and we hardly understand how to fix ourselves. What if you picked up some sort of magical disease? Then weʼd really be in trouble”

*ID shouldnʼt be too bad. I can probably hide my features for that somehow. Maybe do my hair up or wear a bow or something to hide my ears. On the medical side of things… that could be a bigger issue. Do I get healthcare as Katʼs familiar? Actually, D.E.M.O.N.S do I get healthcare.*

That information is not currently relevant to Acquaintance Lily and as such Acquaintance Lily cannot access it.

*What does that mean? Maybe? Why isnʼt it relevant? I want to turn myself into a Memphis and bind myself to Kat… unless that isnʼt considered a familiar bond? Dammit Iʼll have to ask Kat. Now how do I answer Mum about everything…*

”ID shouldnʼt be too bad” said Lily, ”Iʼm sure I can figure out a way to look human for that… but medical stuff… well demons have good healthcare, and they would be doing the procedure so maybe I can get on that? If I can that would sort all my issues out.”

”What are the chances they allow you to use their healthcare? You arenʼt a demon,” asked Evaline firmly.

*Well because Iʼll be magically joined to Kat I imagine the chances are decently high. Maybe like seventy, thirty, in favour of healthcare… but I really donʼt know Iʼd have to ask Kat. Or maybe Nira? Sheʼd definitely know if Kat canʼt find the information though Iʼm not sure if Kat can contact her or not.*

”I think itʼs likely?” said Lily uncertainly, ”I mean, if I do go on Contracts with Kat, I should at the very least be covered for injuries or sickness I pick up while away from Earth but Iʼm not sure about more standard healthcare things. So… I definitely wouldnʼt die but if I had consistent migraines Iʼm not certain theyʼd help. I think they would, but Iʼm not certain”

”I suppose thatʼs better then I was imagining. You really think demons of all people can be trusted with healthcare though?” asked Evaline with honest curiosity and a slight hint of distaste.

”Yes I do,” said Lily easily, ”I… Iʼm not sure why demons have such a bad name but they mostly seem like decent people. A little indulgent some times depending on what their vice is, but overall, quite decent. Their society seems more advanced than ours but also quite stable. I think itʼs because of how long they live. They got to a tech level that let them do practically anything easily and then slowed right down after that. Or thatʼs my guess anyway.

”Kat doesnʼt exactly know a lot about them but based on what I know of history itʼs the only think I can think of. Otherwise, they should outstrip us by so much that it isnʼt funny. Unless Kat just went to a low technology area which… I suppose thatʼs possible? A way to make sure nobody gets overwhelmed. They do seem to have older stuff as well. I think they keep multiple tech levels around so that everyone can use something.”

”Thatʼs an interesting thought… and I admit I hadnʼt considered jut how far ahead technology wise they might be. Medical care is probably much better for demons then…” said Evaline thoughtfully.

”Oh itʼs much better” said Lily, ”mostly because they can use demonic abilities to heal people. Actually, I donʼt think we ever went into Katʼs regeneration did we?”

”You brought it up briefly when lifespans came up” answered Evaline.

”Right well… um… Kat can take a lot of damage. Like… dammit I donʼt want to picture bad things happening to Kat. Ok, um… Iʼll use one that did actually happen. So, back before her wings were stronger she had to glide while carrying someone. Kat got up to speed and then crashed right at the end of the flight… into gravel.” Evaline was already wincing, ”yes and with Kat the way she is, she protected the other girl with her body.

”Kat broke multiple bones but the real icky part is that the gravel shredded her front and the skin around her throat. She had to spit up rocks for a bit” Lily shivered just thinking about it, ”but she was fine. Completely fine, no scarring even though her throat and a good chunk of her face was torn up. So… yeah. And demons have skills to heal others that much”

Evaline sighed. It was a lot to take in and one of her few remaining reservations. Knowing just how easily Lily could get help if something happened to her eased quite a few worries. Evaline knew her daughter wasnʼt properly thinking of the long term consequences, but harping on too many of them would probably have Lily point out that these consequences really werenʼt that long term and sheʼd live more than long enough for them to be forgotten by the rest of Earth.

Evaline twinged at that thought. The realisation that Lily, if she went through this, would probably outlive not just people on Earth, or humanity, but EARTH. The whole thing. The solar system as well if she was careful. Seeing such a long life ahead of her daughter Evaline felt weary. ”I wish you good luck Lily” said Evaline softly. ”I give you my blessing… but youʼll have to explain it to your father”
