Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3d22NDEP8
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSQHByMFPv
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGyLSunuub
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmonebxl8eX
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT9F2NodmE
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0X104VA57
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5kOex8oJG
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BFA0s62qd
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqQZdI1tNO
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchcnVgNNIV
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEzFMPSRbd
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGonc02ahUK
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgjucHCb6c
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNZctCuVKH
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcxBOVh2nK
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChSEpbbQPD
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNw7VdSaqR
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcB4KH7V9
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLso8fOnu7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FA5c5qq42
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWrbptH5Lo
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxLqtKq6Fh
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbi0aCGuVy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIpVewVwPh
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7y8EpEnZx
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtsDoGnXwm
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5aai1PptA
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltuehWPmNG
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3E3vfPttif
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdmDn7HLJm
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCuD0Q7F7F
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01D6VuakWu
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IBjjRHBC7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9JIi8Hqtv
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNPb90RyLs
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYBfPee1wu
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqACSCiMN3
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv4NCPWlkh
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmWb6TuyP8o
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrslmHly2x
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT97lAPQU0
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB79ejOf4m
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprqR1bUApe
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuhpN4jNBD
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5qxunD6f
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqAIFMKUh2
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl5DBhE5Rm
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL3xnaBXPZ
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ulS8tHNG
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL3ZmbGA0R
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmno9bze3D
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaZKPkp05k
Louise: “Kneel.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QUOrOVhkY
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJAInWYkpl
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynYtoEEpcy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtxNkDTd4Q
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ950gaKbhof
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb008MkGWHM
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnwOXaBTDS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHyCg0xANG
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMJhmnLrCl
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNEdF6loob
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyBZ9YecIG
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLfvGOLhj9
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…
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPMmbF1jfq
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL4LNm2Zfs
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?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOHcsarIIq
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc5SNiY8dU
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChw0yV6p7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwEKlMPraZ
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PaCSVkIQp
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytDcCEIjdq
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYfccZCmdE
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTCYDEFI0F
Flamma: “First kiss?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9E0h5maC6
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPImUFwrgw2
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vJYfn811B
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMVCSuhix1
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki1QdqUexa
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerqE5dSKUH
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpn5qCFnFW
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66DbS5kGRs
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAXpj7Lqop
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H0iJJtRyt
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrQoi07DjY
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW6bLv2pGu
Pain.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zFZBdS48H
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWaPdzbIjC
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov60U9P6NV
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZryteSUkL
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jI6KDEcXG
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYT3JSixHl
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspV1757XDf
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwMPL9pLD5
Louise: “Let me…go.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtCVbxyAiS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxYrMxaYQx
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1GnEGVuYC
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRwkRfqxqu
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamRPanG84g
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHAAp2Aafz
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJyrAqk72Q
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP3u1utv2W
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoIK0Q3gF1
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WwI4C1EX9
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyqpHsJOpS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz7M3ILQjL
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmQTqeJSlf
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh94KeqXtrq
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00mZ1gLkw1
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63xKoOdEs
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZBO7RiLTb
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxR90QL7Rj
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6V2eiYX2Rf
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmP3N6FYfS
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEPdAQ1tgq
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs8S7dqX4r
Flamma smiled before replying.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqpHy8FD0r
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4rbJTTxT8
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMXRQQDGvP
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnIl6w8NZh
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebWSCpGO3I
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOHvSoM7Ot
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?
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHhB7qqo93
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FLomMjifM
“Better we think.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkquQrHxoRW
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEKXn4jV5b
Colbert: “Think?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYN22h70rF
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzapjhYDFnK
“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…”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLQoIXgs3w
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWix2vVZzR
Colbert: “But what?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLH710i15u
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCW77SDLqP
“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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9EId5mexV
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTR0z4eZ3e
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkaEAnt7hK
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXM0gkdB4U
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BXsmsjQ9j
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvAnskX0y
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrQcMDX13y
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxjg8ONz4c
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ChRL3FQ1S
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu8AuR669z
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOJdQbJt1A
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9j6sbZ1SUe
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNq5PQfTUy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFKSN9zUxE
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2xPuxL7sU
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NtFjstwQJ
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPufkf5D0Jo
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YSlYcs8s
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0c1GhvFXi
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3DB6UVxRD
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcwLMtyJ0H
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sBCXo9JPB
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7CvRCYlje
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58FCxaPRgp
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfutcrKw5M
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFU3NvsMP1
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dtAmTlCdl
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEjC7eSApW
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgQuWctQRW

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXz9PPOf1Q

Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBySGRkZ24

“Yeah, for now.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDslq3escFh

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG8vMyJWVK

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WRHgjkJPZ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToGVwY0khF
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cNLKH795b
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoRWIfBgGD
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBwZReU0RU
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcJH3noHgi
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTCDVQvkq
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9JXCnoYzC
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyeFBXI3nN
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETFGlrgY7S
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjirPbiOpt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnbZfxlxN2
Colbert tried levitation.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOwNvfZaK5
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3dwxkMOet
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PJzvbQ8ql
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyCwPZalI1
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VUu6E6XYt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O1lWbxiHV
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2LepHd3KY
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLpBizpacP
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnP0ChR3xLi
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnHAykIXhU
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs46S5pEj0T
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlPAvMjACg
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrgqo04aUy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0faOvvXVj2
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMwiOrPukE
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsR9HZ7SOV
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDveSTn2ux
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkFtE0E8Uh
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?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy1BIghcOt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQ31aILtxE
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWQbXPEXXl
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhmPcfnGXq
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ETqQpKTiP
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshe6YFhzVV
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAxezF4YI3

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmBtJ0PEsc

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4mkuG48Z7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfofXTsN6fU
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiHClUxW19
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd68vAoccuU
Colbert: “Understandable.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKIAL0zv0t

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkJazi2MLh

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE77Gq7UUZ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAanUHS8Tn4
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcjOYDqeA5
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GaTdCSlQa
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbJ6uC7ehm
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Rr6Ekst94
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpM022X2YC

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNfoQZhOD2
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjChTybFwv
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.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWypmzX6TYI
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm89EUxKIwH
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyzZk8VeI8
Dove: “Got it.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kAJ01EWyu
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVub2d9UDs
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hc02VBf0j
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU65v0UDej
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGEEraJIAL
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnno8P21Xr
Siesta: “Yes?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh31M51ZYZX
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEk3LOHp2ai
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuuRzYf4P7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaru0sVO36O
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?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeqQDLvkN2
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR1a7OY8HL
Dove: “Yes, me.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFSzmXI6Fi
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIxlfyMZBu
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkZqqYI9eO
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAiOZPe6rf
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsNr0QmSSv
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3MdwRiVFK
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScUuCdRh6f
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC3NR2uh68
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pUF2MAtRi
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aUuHF2EtC
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzb7oqeaCAt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimtQuerc5P
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHV0DzRAtf
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEHITVAdBc
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfARJkGJynt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlupUesjbPV
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCIDlAbPeP
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAIoTPtcJk
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgh8hEphzI
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ajVmO5JAe
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBBusT0ouY
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4GQv8dD2g
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-?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjYdIFgCvS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bFmsB1c19
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCfoh0KtdE
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7Hq4GOhJJ
Dove: “Got it.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVcqUT08DL

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiK3xEIaTY
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwHpWhV2FP
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2r9uc545D4
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt5jajfO92
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRl0DvziFK
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupW3MFALUV
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBXi2LBD4b
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcElBHyoVrP
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL93Fvjrsl
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KLyK1sUuf
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fsdbXsZFX
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr3UMcuYLp
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2z7kbQ2wlb

Flamma: “Oh really?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpqsiLRqAe
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvrVekY7Yc
She says with a smirk.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2Q4gOZqbc
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xO1pMGRnQ
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5xrGr7G4u
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkReQ2S3JF
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKB9SiUgV
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk52EuTKxJE
Flamma: “I won’t.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9Mxkaa0Oh
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoIiBBTivL
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhADhvzuBYJ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKFfNQIh0n
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ImyOmaeNj
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Sx7kl16f
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUS08FLWR0
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEaayVHv7M
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcxX3qhIgx
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVST5AWpcMM
Flamma: “So you say.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgV1LyW09Pz
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsTAyL4D7K
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHxIb97jd9
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4H4phMroi
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lRgpaga49
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7RJHNSkdn
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVn2V2TLD
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUo4MtqUKI
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2miUYXGAu
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9cOI7jhLG
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnYvMtfB45
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06IcNICOph
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNxLbo5lI8
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHl5CZivC4
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3e6ILsGBM
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiynVc3zNo
Dove: “…What?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgzZh2OgcN
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytkAxIyRul
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUniUuXhqmq
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgp8gYpeB4
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWRFe91kPu
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqevClCO92
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.’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2mypQyJo9
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2dG64NgPL
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IBLxTstUn
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfNO25Ckkf
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7l8RmP18m

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoO6DIeO3N
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPSJ4DayKZ
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2KP0UC7C
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQh6ro2g8W
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaxOK4p3fL
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaisz1fIx5m
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCGTPawrrL
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT1UBdgsrY
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRFf40M45n
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OZstOJVKw
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT30Lsvg0k6
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZZ7GsDT8h
Zander chuckled before answering.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12Uz0qEXCt
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmuCN6MFVE
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDL4fq4uGy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPicvUpe0s8
Zander frowned before continuing.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptc7gUzTRr
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgM2iBPRPta
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpUliOLdBs
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiQHsCDZ27
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJZVn504ZD
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSOSAD8MNR
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk84XbucAkb
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5yhlN2M5q
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ37gCBADn
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM94uS9lp6o
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuMqRx7DoS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRjF6AqnNX
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YMw5d6Zw3
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6fGyXTbEm
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQcb1USKtL
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8goJbAspV
Zander: “…A little.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7li2j3awKi
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpXUVK4X2z
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJBPDJ4mMX
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq6mwNbfX2
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKweQJbJidh
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF3vQOV0yQ
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTPtLvQS8a
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LicF0MWfp
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFqdmCqgH5
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf3xhFpb1w
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbmF1XvbJ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCg9ojD8At
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1hYBCSVhm
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1UoCcNyMa
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LLVR6GpNS
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBfekX2Fhi
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2sAbPwKeB
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb9tsGRVgp
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCl3CEKE5tz
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJS8YNFnWfV
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRluWJLR5Gz
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC25ubbwQAO
Kirche: “Such as?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DD9NpuRuQ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqEDwjmkJt
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uuwmQII9O
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD51bXLkao4
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIsMAyXwNU
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqTSSNnS44
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaTHUuf0qo
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFAFCvsiUc
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…”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbDByfjZAQ
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ88yfs7Ql
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kVwc14hWx
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1yABRmUL8
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEvxqKLXpv
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMISLiQbs6
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcmjCSlI2u
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTiS53ttlA
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTd8V7M8kZV
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhz9wNByKC
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxUOZzGxid
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ8iej813V
Kirche: “But immortality?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88mg4npJVf
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54WvG2lSrz
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ601L33le2Q
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHTGPpp7U2
Tabitha: “Old.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtmKuGloH2
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCD4HhuEHdP
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXirCleZSsW
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWoI3T7bOR
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhxOJ2h5QH
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5mrKTSmlq
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJzNF9bPP
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7gNiZBFKV
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghaKkMjuMA
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ezw1Ae2mD
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5crTL8UD3B
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUAfqreInv
Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eG1mDTTJu
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwB0baLNeQ
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ztkvhh5VR
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3fTbHPKah
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xYvhgO4bd
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtcxrqfIMG
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZM9VvYrP2
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGERDYFqxBZ
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaDvbIIzKM
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3pB0ECoi
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFMoosPtBy
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa88bKQrHO
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80B5tSaoW7
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleZlWL3M88
Tabitha: “Please.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnGpQdAlg7

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbf8N0VD1e

Tabitha: “Pie.”

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbsj76u6TI
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3Bwq7cOz6
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mPzkO5hP0
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LqE3JQhCU
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.

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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZphUWRWRD
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5YjPa6pfd
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTQv6CZIfP
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiudA5LQBVQ
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDrnqWNqiN
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Nh7iwiMYY
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPQvgUxn9a
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg1Jczk0VT
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcEiwfAAoW
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3z4DPtNAJ
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFnWdD4gUC
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFzyjhkHlh
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.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtU90g3tiHh
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2TErVmiyw
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?”

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9WWh32YVG
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCm8x1MjCS
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.

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…

Guiche: “A-A prince?”

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvXb7chSLJ
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmA4SgDYit

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8YGyT0yKc
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9P2pk92EXk
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.”
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKomx1WcGoX
465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJUPcvXvXZ
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.

465Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWUXzOPvI8

Guiche tried to regain his strength before agreeing. But he couldn’t muster a word, so he just nodded.
