Chapter 42: The Next Day

It has been a full day of rest and conversation. Tough conversations that I should have prepared for. How is it that I can summon a demon? Why is my demon a succubus? And What is her name? Questions I really couldn't answer. I can't answer them because I do not know the true answers to them.

That wouldn't fly with Fu Xien or any other woman. I have to lie to them now and hope it turns out to be true. So I did exactly that. I am sorry Fu Xien but I do not have answers. I know you want some so I have to give you the best answers I can.

For her first answer, I said I gained power at the restaurant. Which, I do feel like I did. The manager didn't feel like he was supposed to be there. It was like he was possessed or a mere puppet.

Fu Xien couldn't really call anything. She said she feels like she has been there before. She can't recall when she did. She is adamantly saying the manager was just acting normally.

I never even heard the name of the restaurant. I asked Fu Xien about it and this question made her fumble her words. She couldn't answer it. Was she able to beforehand? We both decided to go and investigate.

As for the next question. My answer was a lie. I said it was a random demon that was picked for me. Skills work in mysterious ways and at that time. I just so happened to be given a succubus as a summon. She was not happy with the answer. She could tell I was lying. I had to double down.

I have no idea how I got succubus but that answer would not satisfy her. Sure there is a chance that it could convince her by not lying to her. She is a girl that needs to know everything. So telling her I have no idea. Will not work for her. She would think I am hiding something from her.

After doubling down she seems satisfied enough with that answer. As for the third question. I really didn't know. I need to give her a name and a good one just in case that becomes her name. As I said earlier. Skills work in mysterious ways.

Skills are heavily researched but there are no known books on skills. The only way to read about them is research papers. Long drawn-out research papers that most people would never even think about looking through.

So I say they work in mysterious ways. For most people including me. I do not have the patience to look over hundreds of documents just to learn about a few skills. So in theory skills do work in mysterious ways.

I thought about it for a moment. What is a cute name? A name that has a lot of meaning. I couldn't think of any. A cute name with a lot of meaning is out of the bucket. A cute name with no meaning to me then? I thought of one. The cute name I gave her and I hope it is her name is Barbara.

I don't know why but that name is incredibly super duper cute. I like names that have "Ara" in their name. So Barbara having the "ara" is one that I like. As I said her name a notification appeared. The succubus name was registered as Barabara.

I guess I was right to give her a cute name. Imagine being named Gustav as a succubus. That would be horrible. I am glad I lied about her name but it turned out to be ok.
