Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkM7y6qjtkT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2H5Qwd1FY
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1CIiaDXfO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JmRtc0BAj
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwPOFNeRgA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBxDcpuGOG
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkuLIwdTxC
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlfR7YKqAc
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AAV5EcBxI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iXkcAsDfh
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYkw4sWE71
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgEGQqZgI2
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjWG1UWYAH
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NozCpSgNt
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxxrtFESvB
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF3c4gQZLX
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfzd6SDzVv
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbu5yBRK5v
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbcoAkMyFt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQAarSeMP
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpCS9sEMQx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq413urth1
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lVdonMlpM
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3etNKLHax
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gpYgXWz54
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K3kMS1vIo
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYMA4ZKkZ9
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS5E9WQHeQ
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQarqVAelvn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquUM4RDaL7
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFU2P9quX6
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofXdcCppSh
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKvdfayO0Z
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0uSVgwyxn
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vmcCuWL3j
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsb3ryQRUne
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnvdll45Xs
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5NzuTVNgx
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnmZuFHoqj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT7Edk3PCe
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjaoJdFTo7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiJ8EdLdmq
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVDRj2IGmW
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGODLoi0Fn
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFO8jowsbt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eEbek5S42
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmFscLWT18
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR25Lb6ldcX
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfM9UJP1c7v
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTSvbMmUbC
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1nIQq127u
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQgjKuMwb
Louise: “Kneel.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPjdxD7HeR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJitbSoO2o
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7Y41WzBvi
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJoBWN7I7H
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iVTFOXu7D
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL2pLZa6RK
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLR9zIZ4uX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4Q6JzoNdf
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2AOPVDj6T
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaUY6C3z7n
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB60LH9R2t
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsDy3uDctk
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…
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVui7uXLek
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFc2Ssfaq
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?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSB5cl15Vt
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFgIk0bR6t
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYP3S91vVx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78OwYhlOQR
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5nhCPVFwp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tkIRsyFyH
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmEH39Fa90
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ6LMEcsdq
Flamma: “First kiss?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60Yuz42bFw
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TXJnsfin2
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIKNqbRR3z
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Ds4dsr7j
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBS560iWG5g
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxi8ra2HlV
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWYCvCixWp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbO1TtEGrb
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNAgYDAJPD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2HVhuqPyh
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirzsKJcFsO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXS5HjXQlse
Pain.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4nRbtg6dc
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIusUtRG49Y
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiBGyyq5P9
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEY30tzPuR
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoGBUVV9Yl
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexX1OqaVGL
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGmrLhEln3
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0F2qH0MZzF
Louise: “Let me…go.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLUOjaW9j6
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8OtT4DfGw
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwo4Vg3R28
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8ohee4n2P
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpCmrCZcyu
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAfN0y0lxO
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiTGjnr43T
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylWvtmuMje
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6bVMI4QzV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeS4WPhTXy
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNxrBfhV3y
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3OZ3frHbh
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jwSGrZ9KB
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGeZLUAxdE
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEkcjy8GwD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyuErVKbRG
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkB3c7yai4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96S6bYZp3a
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBbRdUfyK7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9cchn2Za7
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmgYmyI3k2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZov6TQYDu
Flamma smiled before replying.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9n2THISAp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYwBJv7LkK
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4mJ5EyVVj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLrWXQzu13
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofli7EYwry
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eKudhXBTg
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?
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3br101MmBu
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YanxXpBwm
“Better we think.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nP2hE6ltA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmLCEZusk5
Colbert: “Think?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQLXUNotp0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvw6lXh04e
“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…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3v2kwv1uf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYw1Gmj3Mh
Colbert: “But what?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguspRrP615
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZXM9s1f0D
“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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sontl14Ma
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6j8Lg7F8UQ
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7X90jSHEC
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwfQWjqvgK
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAD2uh9x84
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqsbirwXSb
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWakDjsu2R
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1VhTDJHLD
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc2XivE3xS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnMFktbidt
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYgyZQoAAo
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3nIjys5T9
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdxsMgZf1r
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F2lrrVpIq
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZafGxTF1Y
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymZ4UDKRwq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfxYlHidys
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68CrhZ5yuI
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvnQArJq52
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBc2nSJxHvQ
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0EciH6ir0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhIhj8Moo
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMDlSQglJ5
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMg7pyDSNr
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43NF0Jhmms
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBg3HLWWAOR
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoV6JJrr7k
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jqnhow9Mj
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0G7KKbYlb

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxpAonBf2c
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMmYiX9QVB
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fLBjHb3Lj

“Yeah, for now.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbgRvJJQ5e

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXt5KwPoU7

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfavVeuP65
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8anfFoteo
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUlsmU9Ec4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LYmJKr6Uy
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbG7fjaiyy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6R6nOlCEE
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLel5372PLP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHhc0cEwoU
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONXtdkQCtx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hLYxqCWTm
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwWLcYPwOA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ZWrhEkBU
Colbert tried levitation.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyouZimaWW
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOrtPNZZaa
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡve0stBVgSr
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8tFKyw3qk
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wt06QesrG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPjey4pVb3
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4hUYtFWOy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphh9nL0EHW
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJN5xpm5Ps
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamJmJ0R98C
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruB66pts5G
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrUmHqw8nu
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O3fRKEVp7
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL2yg43Hmv
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1yD0R3tjh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sy0KugFzo
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJIGrBqOfd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0UrP18LBu
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?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVpD0A7OmA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpEP0D0UuL
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NVGiSdQOm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGujWNfyKT
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldMSD7DryY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Nqpnzcvi

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrg3TqzUaL
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvswERi4VNK

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1bJ1z6kQw

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtoXbDKm6U

Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrNMuDUQe
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrAlJPpkZq
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtr4bmkX13

Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MgkxMYlPI

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcdSXMJClT
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.

Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrh1ZpJC8c
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLEm0klc6u
Dove: “Got it.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwaVEsuCWB
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8YFJSDp1R
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TX3Lm7Ets
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8XWYtJH2f
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHgL4uthzQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5se0PVuri8
Siesta: “Yes?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cZ3XPbEsf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKCyEUZrxk
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlby8MDCBzT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Af89zX2DN
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?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAKoXcAXZh
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A64MkXVrz
Dove: “Yes, me.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLF6tKdONP
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUZOb0XEYs
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmVxC40uwI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblAVSFhUfj
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7tYiUKnzq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3NORgvsx7
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lgK3PT6yF
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6jvWyMOqO
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYnq9YY2AQ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMInpyYuQbY
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14HjKexHtm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSFrasjJ2B
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg9DwpdCK4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAO0b3HqIH
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEusSKFnMx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bG6WhbEnD
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4IX41xEXM
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nb2uc6IAM
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6ef2JC0E
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTTHiUIIfR
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgNxWkJnIf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIWfxwm5JQ
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-?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9IXSikrlY
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqAMrU2VkF
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHllpi0v6HU
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZf3pAlFmp
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBqfsvoWEe
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZC5PkfW5X
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hkfWoCrMf
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaE8tXds0f
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDM1N9wwG2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGNN5mpvfL
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyNG7oKKim
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRh1Y84lBR
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoarA3sod5
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTzpEtqHX0
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQ9yZpkctp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzL8sbl480
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhPYQ95zx6

Flamma: “Oh really?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvW5tlCR43

She says with a smirk.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPOlSVlsMv

Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHWLIZjOpg

Flamma: “I won’t.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWunGGZ97J
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO9F6Nddc7
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz83SQ7EQ80
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vdisjfXdc
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAebBl4eD6V
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwdo8X8LtV
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdMA1hMcrx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcARExIJqcK
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAy89eZ8KD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBFVgXH1gF
Flamma: “So you say.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqkQYZMj8E
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA1LK2Fejq
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixp5nbayNm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa6MjO5NLP
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBJkKZknT4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccMy41MIdy
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjBwcJvRCq

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrUbApOGGo
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufO54s44ZO
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1n1jiQztX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzToeJ1z9G
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtTXlzfnyR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK5uTFxOhK
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDFjEve424
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ003G3zcIcb
Dove: “…What?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bPc3jiuKm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwvcnf0Ea2
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg3WAhIA9S
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7HO7jcIXZ
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2cUcVz6cL
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKPYuh58RC
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.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ828n4iFkhX
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFondR33se
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iVkWZnEW0
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAtSJB7opf
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpLGrcloxn

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtH71bhksp5
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfCuXMs8T8
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7sY09dwjN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2VTgkjohq
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd0qZ1goT4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4BUQdTP3B
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIe8ZsjQ8ZV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzPzFyOe1f
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxClObxIbm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSEUf50lPC
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHts6JcU3sz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB16jGSFs3s
Zander chuckled before answering.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSujqlCO6d8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YoGEgrm2v
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpznpzAdg6c
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtVt4TmG5B
Zander frowned before continuing.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdE75yxIdR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9PYiyUFsD
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡali3PAXWe4
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wbqvN1CM
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK4ojs3iQb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeIE302jjq
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzJi2wfE5q
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtDT2NedFt
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsj0WgXbpj
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXj73BPDzg
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KocPOwc33
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgihk4NfUZ3
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvkmH0xEez
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIZ5M7ST8B
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkrwKDZY3l
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEYpKB6qAi
Zander: “…A little.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlXscoX9p
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eruPEm5XR
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61DPAPtrzZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQo0NB34nd
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3boyZmYtUd
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3KdJQs8gN
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhunn6nIoYm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWe0cC2lTf
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAaJBaHsXv
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv9vpFQIuM
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr7NnrerpR
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVzY6UmvkE
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLuqjYARA
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXISPnlM8g
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4rxV2ccZT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UDEaxBpCz
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTgnotfzuS
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NHlCez8Zz
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWzcVhetzx
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeH52GRJ8Bm
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOOHe8xmyZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5AYurn9pb
Kirche: “Such as?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSYcN9Sdsp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffF8mlTB1H
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yTvNU7twO
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkm3plmJ7v
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhS4asspzD3
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY6J7qYQ5G
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjDCoWMHm1
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz4d3jtma7
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…”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNg2PAvEfm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNc5aQUxI22
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9yu9OF7XhT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLyWs5UfUj
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm25TPEUFp
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCXl9unQ1D
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpDLmjDjCm
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp81MzvFyOq
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhePyX9lQHN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidt6y77OGx
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOHGu9uwGV
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rkUSDHRwi
Kirche: “But immortality?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpKWJ6aU4L
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ060I2zWsGf
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQqXkihdP8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qArz4UvUC
Tabitha: “Old.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YakYOTnLy
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWlOmJPLns
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJbOmQXYNo
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO91AmcURP8
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrQhWnWjHU
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHXIO5EqoM
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlUW49AnS8
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfgEjoDC3n
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMcXXZzUIC
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EAcG2WhJP
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SpmDsl0ge

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ7vSZf0Tn
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OteXdUWMO
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUQZt48s5a
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYRQmqlwC
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw54hudFzUD
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqnTQydcLL
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp7bvKvhbq
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmP5bisR5UL
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.

Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTVi9MHFwI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPyll8dSjt
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorrq119dfN
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI54NvJg1vx
Tabitha: “Please.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPclijFkyYA

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZC8Vuiqbn

Tabitha: “Pie.”

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTHY3p1Drb
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wEkNdi3UI
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL3tpiu3sI
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sH6eOzz7X
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOCjNYudbi
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjmkKcZYb1
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9grcP8wg2
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX79ZhRP4GJ
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhjb2sDC2B
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonSr2tYcZK
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE58TTJIWZ
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRELUxq2ao
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEui5gPUjWz
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWor1Ic5Ni
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8prroqjas
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrWPYAl5GV
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwgt4dvuBl
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8wTPY1aUK
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

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?”

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93b2dlp3XG
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJV1ZRDLsi
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.

384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35lvKoD9y7
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 finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.

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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ29N5rx9WT
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLOzuw0E0t
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.”
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgtIMz8V9V
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64CFGgxwdc
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.
