Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFyBs4NoB9
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmh1RdHV3I
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7vo9Z6U8n
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVgfROgf31
Looking for some answers, Louise forced her eyes open and scanned around her room. The room was dark, only lit by a sliver of sunlight passing through the small gap between the curtains.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrSv4RP2Ll
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy22qf3wzG
Despite that, Louise can feel it. There is someone else in the room. Louise turns her head to the sensation and sees a beautiful woman in a maid’s uniform.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpFyMFYG0H
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZc2WhC0X
Many thoughts rushed through her mind. Like why is there a maid sleeping in her room? But the answer came when she noticed the woman’s fiery red hair.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2QBSOkzYD
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAAzqAaPA4
All at once, the events of yesterday flooded into her mind. She gripped her head in a vice grip as the memories resurfaced. She bites her lip to prevent any screaming.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvg8kYKHtV
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL5cWGtg4V
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uzs5f5pNk
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvpwpWY7Ec
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WWadQGRUv
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde5JNeFHLR
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc7rkUYWbN
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsNs1aEVOj
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOwF3kGjFR
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Y0hQluWX
Louise felt the need to kick her familiar awake and get to business. But that emptiness returned once again. She just didn’t have that much energy right now.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2TnBBZ9wJ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nszYhwIOe
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39G1N2ZfkI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJal1xpKKNp
Shaking her head, she returned to the main issue. She forced her body to move to the curtains. She pulled them apart and gathered her strength for a command.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6lgaYwXAG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbdr8fNqYZ
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefmefIGTS3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFZ20KViq6
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQsUiNf1w2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3Kew3l0CI
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3nsPO6dsx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3SURYrLqo
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQZxi3DhCG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKGS0hYUhG
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULvflhz458
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOWaLLvXL7
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTUJk8cPGp
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2uqdPVs03
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5LEKznp8j
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6YiHdS8aC
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YAvUFPuiT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRyCJSR79I
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4z76TimY4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FQsjQAruo
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTveElLoWjE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI6ZJo5YN6
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtco92bGdiC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D43xZ7XFD
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerq92kz468
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmsn4VZkRO
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpQFBXT0xw
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqNI5j6Vfx
Louise: “Kneel.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMbRQTxJlR
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jykeVWFY1
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM6nuAOF6d
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNFvgp3hvJ
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXZhVv6G8j
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IMw45vjsg
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtg4Tu2ls4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpdT8ZgNJK
Louise: “My name is Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Valliere, Pentagon of the Five Elemental Powers. Bless this humble being, and make her my familiar.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSx3H0EFdR
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEHdTvWagX
After chanting, she removed her wand from Flamma’s forehead and kneltdown in front of her. Both of her hands moved to touch her familiar's rounded face.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPMArgu89u
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotWI5YaEzg
Louise would’ve blushed and wished her first kiss was with Wardes. But right now, she just wanted to get this over with. As for Flamma…
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4dpfGewDt
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlp9v2qGa0
Flamma: ‘Okay, why is she leaning in for a kiss? Is this how familiar bindings work? I mean, this isn’t my first time kissing a girl. Maybe it’s Louise’s first time?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ254rI0DMnw
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3GwpzL9Oq
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HCrtSBtyt
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ0WkHwPSD
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd0Txtm0mx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZ8XsySs1g
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGq4jdFdA
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfPYMhj1jB
Flamma: “First kiss?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePk4xPq9GV
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrpVO9Zre8
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cLk9EQQ0x
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3K4MEHZxE
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI5CcGSH0a
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrJRMDOrPj
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iIdNYVY6g
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5RMpoM0dy
Before she could finish, her strength finally gave out and she began to free fall toward the floor. But before she can hit it, Flamma catches her.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjFfiNPZSG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0JlVn73Se
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCZvis6pJo
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmvrCdtJQb
Pain.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zcPlwyzUG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdoajUTFmt
That was what Flamma felt flaring from the back of her left hand and lancing all the way up to her elbow. Flamma almost screamed in pain as the stinging sensation throbbed violently on her hand.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDnOQAoUti
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkEiqk9kst
She might have dropped Louise if the pain didn’t stop all of a sudden. She inhaled and exhaled sharply before carrying Louise to her bed.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnSJ4wQVx5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCsceIdl5Q
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XXM5MA1cL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6XH62XVas
Louise: “Let me…go.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfKq2v6NVp
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJwf7vyBRa
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuDEuYxMon
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06XzMbsect
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZJaYvj4ne
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYVd111i8H
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkC3UYtZTQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH1B0cvyDg
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUf6on4Omo
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL4Nsh72nf
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm11XoU24Z9
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPbJm1irXK
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdY1DZezEu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWz021uLMwa
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3hEerTFUQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXtQnvZGtH
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYiOvEmJmG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y1UmAVliH
Silences descends into he room as Flamma sat down on the hay pile. For 5 minutes, it seemed like they would spend all day in the quiet. That’s until Louise broke the silence.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXxMeo2Pcn
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5yHV7zGe4
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwUoOXBXS3
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoUHjvClfY
Flamma smiled before replying.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Asdr1nZaP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1ABPoCgD5
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tiX09BcXg

Colbert: “Is he any better?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoVERyrm4s
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XQ4naS9Fo
Colbert is once again outside the nurse’s office, checking in on the boy. He also checked on Louise 2 but there was little he could do in that situation. At least until Louise’s family arrived. Will the headaches ever cease?
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYplTaClRV
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdc8tLDk0h
“Better we think.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuBfR6wLPF
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe9bH9UW7K
Colbert: “Think?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTgv1iGbSx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtS9yO060u5
“Well, the boy has what looks like a weak heart, low muscle strength all over his body and damaged lungs. In all sense, he is beyond our abilities to heal. But…”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SF4CAAiha
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGNFnHVVET
Colbert: “But what?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZs19L6Ej5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZp2U3W3xA
“The steel plating covering his body is somehow holding him stable, even aiding him. I do not know what it is or how it works. But it seemed to have healed him over the night. We’re afraid of removing it because doing so may just kill him.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90mWxhBTzM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkWXAsmazG
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXNz43ZBwF
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgybYWGSYz0
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GHawrZ477
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUVeekmWoq
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sehsRriVN
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrzZ95nuaO
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQpbnocZil
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCnT2JsMYp
The 3 rushed inside, disparately looking for his bag. Colbert quickly found it under one of the beds. Someone must have placed it there to make room for a student who got hurt doing something stupid.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPLq8LUhv5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJLRJjIoV0
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnvCcKGNXv
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm09BWgwQw
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnvD3CGFKV
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy76sVzGjs
The boy pointed at the metal tab at the bottom of the line of teeth. Colbert observed it and tried pulling the tab. It opened the bag and revealed another steel plate, like the ones on the boy.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡld25HCZNac
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0IjPCXFay
Colbert didn’t understand how it all worked, but he could tell the boy needed this steel plate. He removed it and handed it to the boy.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP6IXXWwEj
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEvrzMc50D
The boy hurriedly ejected the steel plate glowing red instead of green before carefully inserting its replacement. Once it was in, it glowed green and he took a very large gasp of air. He did this a few more times before lying down, coughing and gasping as he did.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwL4lFpN3V
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3Xz3CWVGi
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6UkNUm88A
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OcTDBuGFu
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YUsiwNNIC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRS4SMgx4u6
No reply. Instead, he looked around until his eyes landed on his earmuffs and glasses. He pointed to them. Colbert understood and gave him what he needed.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmdZrJEiRN
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVoPRLhQRI
The boy put the accessories on before tapping the earmuffs a few times. A small stick with a bulge at the end appeared out of his earmuffs. He then bent it in front of his mouth.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡee4tpiyKgL

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE3utrQy3W

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmToAX49nEm

“Yeah, for now.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAotRTSw7f

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpFjj2h1fP

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGRMTaqsAk
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQXX6Sj4Pn
Colbert: “In the country of Tristan, and you’re in the nurse’s office of the Tristan Magic Academy. I’m one of the teachers.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdy9ab1TZr
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4HASDwJXU
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FB3jCwia4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeUMPSgBoh
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNClZEq576
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJtxjrBhLd
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRf6LlxVeK
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTTj9TD6JH
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLvMVDb4ck
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdrANOV3or
Colbert tried levitation.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ee2dzeqL1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMdrJTx4uj
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwdL0yk6DM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAZNni0Ve5
Colbert tried many other things but nothing managed to convince Tech. Even mentioning Dragon transformations didn’t get him to budge. Maybe raise an eyebrow but nothing else.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe8TUvn7YS
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWySC6G6aUL
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLZ8niMJOO
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6goCBe6n3H
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziBGWSQh3q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlilgGllf8
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvCeXJqFbX
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHummRikJG0
Colbert: “I’m afraid not. But one of your fellow familiars did say she might be able to. You just have to learn her magic or wait until she finds where you came from.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYfZBxTUa2
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovIZWxYTGu
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡix323RAIW8
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYrTnraLmC
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7s4bptkJV
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ848wqDsJN8
Tech: “Damn it! For all I know, she might have tricked you all! She’s probably not coming back. Alright, one thing at a time. Why did you summon me?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo0gzAdUDo
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiJLdMS4Vt
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHGc4AObEx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZDgwC3E9W
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV7EnJjbG4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpDD80ngbU
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYwxb2Y0Kc

Tech: “I won’t lie, the story about this Ravager does interest me. But I won’t let anyone I don’t know help me with my repairs.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIxNfjodJu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCOC4d4fZ1
Colbert: “Understandable.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V8c6I5bi2

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqYRR7Vxl7

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDNZQnbEfZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLSB0VwSzB
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dOhTv8pqf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMotvFAIrz
Looking over at who woke her up, she is greeted by a black-haired girl in a maid’s uniform. The harried look on her face surprised Dovahkiin, then she finally registered what the man said.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ0e0qySzf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIGTDKTH22
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUdMH0jsMj

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3ViQl7eEs
The girl pulled Dovah up by her arms and darted out of the hall. When they made it into the kitchen, she was surprised by all of the activity. Servants were carrying large baskets of what looked like cherries to cauldrons that were suspended over the fire. The head chef was standing next to them, adding sugar. Glancing up at the two new arrivals he immediately pointed to the table.

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0KudNOr2i
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuFE5b7S0d
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgjZP2wKPU
Dove: “Got it.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ3KEN6yAS
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGYPWxQK0
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18lnsn1viP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3EF96UOTT
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewhvqkjC00
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaliXqewQu4
Siesta: “Yes?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk42RlReZe
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdkVVmxg00
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KmUEnodp8
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdddipwBE7W
Siesta: “I heard that the headmaster was asking the Chef to find someone who could help him. He wanted to appoint someone as the assistant Chef but Martone said that he didn’t want just anyone poking around his kitchen. Why do you ask? Do you know anyone who needs a job?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5QO2kGj4v
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn3qWcJtgV
Dove: “Yes, me.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4AXwT94DM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAapsIlzsq
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyIKCTTp0g
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Z10SlDZPu
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx2SVxynfI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhKFp7PSRV
Dove: “Well actually…I’m a traveler and needed a place to sleep and some new clothes. I kind of snuck into the hall after…temporarily borrowing the outfit from a chest I found. The rest you know.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dFFpeKEM1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Ep7crq6C
Siesta hadn’t moved since the admission, frozen in surprise. Dove moved to the left, Siesta didn’t respond. She moved to the right, no response.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5LZuLKJ33
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVc91pD4X3
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2TvFMTVoz
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lUSLmSOHf
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXUSbKJMLw
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9roP4fXwxz
Siesta: “No no, you just caught me off guard. I thought that you were a maid and I was embarrassed that I forced you here.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcgmRFwEHt
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N3wiVKW2T
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsXqeaVxhM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tAZED2aLY
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jggW3Vl0r
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDYA5BszuA
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLmSeJElcM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUg12KB0qft
Dove: “So when do you think I should ask? Obviously, I should wait for this to be over but do you think I should wait a little while or-?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E6m6ZiDNq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiSgFiIamA
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxXSo7GDDE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxPTeVYEmL
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEcB7BTBtG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSkeh2oa18
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡru655Ywnhg
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTFBCVLSAb
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQQEbJYpf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXexxOWdHt
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u9KsdoT9a
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurecmLMQas
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKyjloN7uT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3tduWNyCb
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eqMPuX9XU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUncoK2aGt8
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqDGGhUNI4

Flamma: “Oh really?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTVJLj4NCk

She says with a smirk.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUWglqzqYB
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WTqac9LUv
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yQVFoUWAc
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ecqpnN0yk
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”

Flamma: “I won’t.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDEoT5eLF5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tnksWMJuQ
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSFJb3H4DQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1jUBKY607
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4w7Qn7P4V
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx9ErsiLen
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0XdsYcVNP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnghlxQtrK1
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweMZv2bTst
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA1qgpdkD8
Flamma: “So you say.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeRk7WRqUq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwseef1ABe
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa16YcTaTLr
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTTkgFglYy
Flamma: “I’m a maid to remember? Also, I’m a great cook. So why not help out when needed? Face it Dove, you’ll have to get used to working with me.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTVhny6va
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI9nj7xiHx
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcIH3X69F8
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx4E1acaaZ
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLduFeFORZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGl2hViznn
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbcHzoGrbc
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYFfKKW0I3
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjspcJWXCU
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZatI7KWvKl
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjFHMvxVup
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeQFgwKbWQ
Dove: “…What?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpznX4I6MrG
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR9d26AkeQ
The morning was good for Zander. After a restful sleep under the stars, nothing can bring him down. When the sun came up and he awoke to a new day, he had a good feeling.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbwmrNjDRW
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMt390PDo9
He spent most of the morning just relaxing and enjoying the scenery. Even the students gathering around and having fun was enjoyable. Sure, he kept an eye on Jake who he could sense in the nearby tree. He just sat up there practically motionless. Even he can admit to being a bit freaked out by his behavior.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9TQnzpkS6
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Mzfs9INrx
Zander: ‘Based on what Dovahkiin told me after I brought her food, he’s probably waiting for that girl from before to come back. I have to admit, her portal ability is greater than mine. I can only go back to my own realm, not find and transport to others.’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFFJlADXQv
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ230CyisV8y
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5bXx9CAeI
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqf24TjxaC
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaPCfHvxsz

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZLvrY1l7V

Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63HhHZzeb1
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q8KO1F6Nd
Kirche: “I can think of a few things. But first, introductions are in order. My name is Kirche Augusta Frederica von Anhalt Zerbst. The quiet girl behind me is Tabitha. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENzMqZsTIZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnss3Lv6vZT
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fEbwTDRxX
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8zRzoFs0Y
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnx87W8GQOp
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgib7BdRAJ
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlttiNSXjL
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jtmcMesAH
Zander chuckled before answering.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalen9StOmP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2Ov0NZfq
Zander: “A prince? Perhaps. I don’t have an official title like that since I’m not affiliated with any one specific Haven. But my colleagues all insist that I have a formal position in each of their Havens.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJJS00ieHd
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7tJrbqOE0
Zander frowned before continuing.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpuZFxg729
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYH2ejv0Nf
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnNnimdjHa
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9h2YcwGZ4
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuFp0kZgDr
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTaTl44yMz
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4nqazeD3k
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2WZIGoT5s
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40uT0N0yvM
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYwizP1IuG
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVxnhSMxZO
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHmJhYggIV
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXSjRrEway
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n5k3DlAtE
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzD6JWN0NZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsz1HrVVMp
Zander: “…A little.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMwlPeq5je
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPvGYRGXhG
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VhKLqZ4mb
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFgQQRZ0RM
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pUwHM9PIK
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KuKuycxz0
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUXoi9UWHC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO8nBzS8TV
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvErKrJwfAT
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4clDn1Pm3K
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66eLgjOCyb
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2iKL0p59P
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4mxYA29qH
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ZqtryNAq
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YK7CK9bTy
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRPUuF2YXx
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGEKTodmXw
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMr0e5WbdI
The trio made it to an open table and sat down. Flame stayed near Kirche while Slyphid lay near Tabitha. Zander took a moment to collect himself before continuing the story.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZgimOcRZZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGe3IMpU56
Zander: “Well, nowadays I’m the only man who can. Men who can use magic are called magisters. Few magisters have ever existed, but all of them have been known to have done great things.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYh1OloR5fe
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMlpk3RfdO
Kirche: “Such as?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tJtmD0HKd
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4LXin3wcd
Zander: Magister Adom was a hero who single-handedly drove the demon armies back into the north. Magister Berth constructed the Great Barrier that spans the entirety of the north, keeping the demons from ever returning. Magister Calin built the Havens.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5zYtVMhKa
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQsz3fVzS5
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbj5AZcAe4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Ng5fZdr6
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZr8g7fGdE
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5t6veLRrzl
Zander: “I suppose I united the Havens after a civil war. Restored the honor of the Magistrum after the Magisters were exiled about 900 years ago. Defeated the demon armies from the south and…”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLPaWgPNzQ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTCKD6s4Cx
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9bppVcQdP
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrYJkgV7mK
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIMiTTscmi
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl6oklh9t7
Kirche’s mouth hit the table while Tabitha dropped her book. All was silent for a good minute before Kirche could pick up the pieces of her mental state.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl0ir2PTlc
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDiu5rPWoY
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xnaHQrjAu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNnoElPaFq
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRybbkGtOtC
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhvstW1GnU
Kirche: “But immortality?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdnTGwF01q
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90LjOUW7iJ
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xgMvGVrRu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU48JRF5ujS
Tabitha: “Old.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTNNVqbkO7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC18wMMPCr
Zander: “There were circumstances. After we dealt with all of our problems, my colleagues and I realized that dying could risk everything we worked so hard for. So I found immortality. We’re now Othland’s immortal rulers.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKmT4yD4Jx
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vB4fPZCR3
Zander: “It’s also why the Gods are displeased with me. Turning the priestesses into immortals ruined the Gods’ traditional ceremonies. The priestesses are supposed to be sacrifices, you see.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaaHw5jxPz
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTghb05dIDr
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SbX7HT16N
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZVK3L3G79
Zanders: “It’s a religious thing. Sacrificing the priestess lets her become an avatar of her God after death. Pretty stupid if you ask me. I don’t regret stopping it one bit.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgEMo5TOVu
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVUzRptmOS
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLBSC5qRb1

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIQqaJebdF
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2owqgdVhOz
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvyCslH3ih
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCHu0t1eZS
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq19CQpMtcn
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEUR1unZ4Q
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslJGNW2JmF
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDPARYOHEb
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXpHp6trs
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEz77L3R6i2
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwf8GOyN1z
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXNCsyJMZU
Her voice was nice, some nearby boys wanted to hear it sing. In all the right ways. She ignored them until her business at this table was done.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfOvdXVTA9
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5ShraSStw
Tabitha: “Please.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Magv1RCei

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMrcLDDowV

Tabitha: “Pie.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTXcpNYz0D

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMD0REqUJn
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MO0BhH9jE
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Phoe6U426
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcroVB1ALb
Dove was surprised and then laughed at Tabitha’s stone face with a smudge or two of cherry smeared on the corners of her lips. Tabitha reached for more.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcIoBZu8RN

Tech was done with his repairs. The process did shock some nurses. He did have to remove and reattach his replacement arms and legs after all. Using nanobots to turn his hands into the tools he need didn’t help. They thought he was another Ravager in disguise or something.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKBc7Usua5
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPt8XLd4jF
This and more clued Tech in that this world was primitive. Only recently getting a taste of higher technology. Regardless, Tech was stuck here for now and so needed to eat and test out his repairs.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7i95iq6dS
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfbjI9amHD
He found his way to the kitchen and was greeted by a good number of the staff. They were much better than the stuck-up brats he met along the way. Calling him a commoner and such.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQDmlnd2TZ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgCleq7uEE
Tech then politely asked the Chef for permission to use a part of his kitchen to make his own food. His body still couldn’t eat some things until he made some new upgrades.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX3ukW5ta7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv8eBGOOe4
The Chef Martone didn’t seem to mind to much as long as he didn’t take too long. Tech’s bonny body led credence to his claim that he needed to follow a certain diet for his body’s weak stomach.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4NIrNGsnJ
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmoW1ZQDcP
Tech enjoyed the meal he created, he even befriended one of the maids named Siesta. The whole encounter gave him enough energy to further test his legs and arms. He exited the kitchen a bit earlier than the maid trio.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsq0wnhjGjb
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rgrZooMKU
Being outside also gave him a chance too observe how the “Noble” class worked. What he got was nothing but slight disgust. Aside from one glowing exception, they all held themselves very high and mighty-like. Something he didn’t like, even in himself.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdedB6b3K7
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnbR0Hfk34
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

Flamma kept an eye on Dove and Zander while she did her normal duties. She couldn’t quite catch the conversation but she’ll be sure to get the full details from Dove later.

Usually, she wouldn’t participate in idle gossip but it helped her ignore the other noise. The flamboyant demands, lecherous stares, and envious gazes. Even with Dove around, she still drew the most attention.

Flamma: ‘The woes of being the most beautiful woman in the room.’

So as to not be caught looking too long, Flamma turned her attention to the other maid. She apparently was trying her hardest to get the attention of a blonde noble kid. He was probably talking sweet nothings to a brunette girl given her love-struck expression.

The blonde guy was pointedly ignoring her, but some of his peers around him would recognize the perfume Siesta was trying to give him.

“Hey Guiche, isn’t that Montmorency’s perfume?”

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7QgKIpJMf
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3qDQmdBBh
This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA82vyUAa8a
Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

Before Tech can give a witty comeback, Flamma and Dove come to stand beside him.

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. 2 of Louise’s familiars were protecting one of the maids. But few had hope for their struggle. After all, those 2 were only commoners. Even with an extra maid’s help, it didn’t matter.

There was silence for a time. Guiche smirked while Siesta’s eyes widened in fear and worry for her new friends. But the three didn’t seem scared, in fact…

Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF25qWvytH4
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pw4ol6suH
Tech: “Guiche, you claim to be a noble, but all I see is a coward whose pride clouds his eyes and whose fear makes him seek the weak. If someone weaker than you gets in your way, you have no problem harming them. But when they’re stronger than you, you back away. As proven by how you practically shrunk in front of the prince. You say you’re a rose, but all I see is a vile weed.”
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ASYWbmuq
417Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfV7kZX0hF
Before the impact of his words could fully register, Tech glared at Guiche with his enraged neon green eyes. It almost glowed with fury, so much so it actually forced Guiche to take a step back.
