Whimful Writer: So, first up is the first cluster of questions for the ACA, or Ask Characters Anything! Where they can be asked anything within their knowledge base! As for the first group of questions....

Insert drumroll here.

WW: Its from Azaken! (Well, he was the only one who gave any so far, so that might be why)

1: Rikuo, is drinking blood only a nourishment thing, or is it like a drug? Can you get high off of it?

2: Ciel, do you prefer boys, or do you have no gender preference?

3: Raevin, do you have feelings for Iosi?

4: Rikuo, do you get angry when people call you a Vampire Shota and is that anger adorable?

5: Saris, do you love Ciel?

6: Aruu, exactly how old are you if you are the second oldest Demon Lord?

7: Rassle, do you own multiple shops across the world, or just that one?

8: Lutessa, do you really think you can stop them all from getting in trouble?

WW: First up, we have Rikuo! Forcibly summons the Vampire Boy.

Rikuo: Eh?

WW: Welcome! You will now be forced to answer various things truthfully, and then have your mind wiped and sent back, regardless of how embarrassing or unreasonable the question is! Well, if you dont know you dont know!

Rikuo: Ehhh?!?!?!?!

WW: So, lets go with one first, and while here, lets have you answer!

Rikuo: I dont want to!

WW: Activates the mind manipulation field.

Rikuo: Ahg...I...I only do it for nourishment, but...the taste is really good...especially noble blood, and even more so royal blood...its so rich and good!

WW: Uh huh, uh huh. And the rest?

Rikuo: I really hate it...and people do say when I get angry, I look adorable...which is even more embarrassing. I really have to tell the truth here?

WW: Hey, at least it doesn't hurt! Anyways, you can go to the lounge now over there!

Rikuo runs off, crying. WW summons Ciel to the chair.

WW: Now Ciel...

Ciel: I already know. No, I have no gender preference. In the first place, gods reproduce asexually and we dont really get caught up in trivial details like sex, race, or age...

WW: ...I feel like that last one could be dangerous, but you just said you are an asexual being, so ima leave it alone there.

Ciel: You wrote me tho...

WW: Anyways! So you dont then...

Ciel: Well, incidentally, I might have a minor preference for boys, cause they seem less likely to slap me when I kiss them as friends, or when I kiss other people with a friendship kiss.

WW: ...its no wonder Aruu hates you. Anyways, id send you to the lounge, but...GO DO YOUR DAMN WORK ALREADY!

Ciel is unsummoned, and Raevin is summoned instead.

Raevin: Looking around. Alright, I roughly understand the situation.

WW: Good, then answer the question.

Raevin: Short answer, not the way you all are thinking. When I choose my partner, I am going to choose them based on their mind, not their body. That said, I will probably have to take a wife for political reasons so she would be the one I technically end up with.

WW: Booooo. Go with the heart!

Raevin: Aren't you the writer? Dont you determine this stuff?

WW: Semantics. Well whatever, the waiting room is over there, go wait in it. Rikuo may need comforting.

Raevin: Readers and commentors, please stop making Rikuo ask tough questions.

WW: Hey, its totally innocent and reasonable questions!

Raevin leaves the room. WW summons the next victim character.

Saris: Notices the log. You shouldn't let such a shifty and dangerous person run off on his own!

WW: Yes yes, now answer the question!

Saris: No yes way!

WW: Huh?

Saris: Eh? No way, I dont but definently do love Ciel.

WW: Hou...so we can get answers and reactions like this. This is good to know. It seems...she has not quite decided yet. Well whatever, you can go to the lounge now.

Saris: No, send me to where Ciel is!

WW: You say that, but he sorta left half on his own...

Saris: Uhg! Disappears in a flash of light.

WW: Well, time for the next one! I wonder if I am hurrying through this too fast, but then again, Rikuo was the only one with two questions. So there is that.

Summons Aruu next.

Aruu: Can you not? I have heroes to train, and other work to do. Unlike someone.

WW: Well, he probably deserved that.

Aruu: Of course he does, he is an asshole.

WW: Anyways, the question...oh crap...

Aruu: Twitches.

WW: It was Azaken, not me!

Aruu: Keeps mouth shut.

WW: There is a truth field...it will force you to answer....

Aruu: ...Its rude to ask for a boy's age!

WW: Just get it over with and answer.

Aruu: Well, issue...I really dont know how old I am. I am not lying when I said I lost count, so I dont know the exact number. Just that I am over one thousand.

WW: ...what an innocent maiden you are.

Aruu: Stands up and heads towards the door. Next time, make it a truth or dare so we at least get a choice!

WW: ...not a bad idea. I think you and the others would hate it though. Anyways, I say it felt fast and then that happens. Well, time for the next one!

Rassle appears now.

Rassle: Really now? A reality manipulating trickster with an obsession for mischief and causing trouble at his own amusement?

WW: So basically every writer that exists.

Rassle: Yes.

WW: Right, well your question. Its about your shop, or shops.

Rassle: By the way, why are you hosting this?

WW: Well, originally I had a different format planned, but this seemed way more entertaining so I thought I would try it out? However, just the one on one format might be a mistake. Since I am wiping everyone's memories anyways, I will remember that. Next time, I will bring everyone in so we can have a better discussion about all this.

Rassle: And you only just learned this now, as you are typing this ACA chapter?

WW: Organic learning is best!

Rassle: I suppose. Anyways, I own multiple stores. I also am one of the leaders of the Alchemy Guild, I created several stained glass images for the various churches of the world, and I also started a Courier Guild after I got annoyed how slow news spread across human settlements. When you live as long as me and Aruu, you end up being the head or creator of various things. I mean, Aruu actually helped form...

WW: Shhh, lets avoid telling them too much.

Rassle: Ah true, fair. Well then, if you dont mind.

Rassle comes over and sits next to WW.

Rassle: Lets see how this goes for the last person, shall we?

WW: Sure, whatever.

Summons Lutessa now.

Lutessa: Where is this?! Did I get summoned to another new world? Send me back, I still have business!

WW: Relax, its temporary. You are here to answer honestly even if you dont want to. But seriously, you really think you can stop them all from getting into trouble?

Rassle: A rather arrogant and foolish answer, especially given what happened in the Imperial Capital.

WW: Indeed.

Rassle: Again, aren't you the writer?

WW: And that means I cant write an arrogant character?

Rassle: Fair enough. Stories need a wide variety of characters after all, all of them with depth and goals and desires. And your characters certainly dont lack for desire or ambition...but, that is all I will say. Spoilers after all.

WW: Thank you. Now Lutessa, answer.

Lutessa: Even if I cant...even if I fail...I wont ever give up! I will do everything I can to protect and save them all, and bring them home! It is the right thing to do!

WW: Well, as expected...

Rassle: You know, I find her goals, or at least her drive, rather admirable myself. There is nothing wrong with loyalty.

WW: ANd yet, you benefited from her didn't you?

Rassle: Well, that is true.

WW: Anyways, that is all! Thank you everyone (Azaken) for sending some things in for an ACA, and I hope I get more! Leave some feedback on ways you think we could make this segment even more interesting, and if you want anyone special to be Co-Host! And also, if you want anyone in special outfits or none at all!

Rassle: I thought you were deep delving culture, making it realisitc, not fanservice?

WW: Well it cant be fanservice, its text...well, some images of some moments would be nice, but I am thinking the action or emotion filled ones mainly. And also...amusing things are amusing, and amusing reactions are amusing!

Rassle: Alright. Just had to check your motives. Then I approve.

WW: Anyways, hope you enjoyed!

Rassle: And that you keep reading!
