D.E.M.O.N.S: Getting Summoned Weekly isn’t so Bad Novel – A Totally Normal Birthday Kat quickly got up, glancing slightly over to her desk searching for her clock. *5:30, ok I have time.* Sitting up and walking through her sparsely populated bedroom to the closet she picked out a clean version of her school uniform before sneaking down the hallway. Careful not to wake the other children, she snuck into the shower.
Ok, quick shower before waking the others and then try to catch the old man making breakfast for everyone for once. The old codger never lets us thank him.* A short five minutes later, a still drying Kat glances at herself in the mirror, barely out of frame due to her slightly tall build and considering the bathroom had been designed for children much younger than her, she was lucky she could see herself at all.

A veritable feast was laid out, but no sign of the old man could be found. *That scoundrel, I even woke up early because it’s my birthday and I still couldn’t catch him. Would it kill him to accept a little thanks from us?* “Come on Sylvie let’s grab our food, don’t want the others to take the good stuff” Kat said.
