Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91RqY83g6Z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTWrYbefSS
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNMgxqEpqR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJcxsNNAUR
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZxGjvRtNk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnG7HNcnSp
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTl4ai6kbt
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCO9akXnLD
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9MHEldl44
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN7MpohIuI
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctZEfg5uR1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpw8wRGmsNT
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0P5gz2vVH4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm72shAMZqH
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MqeVYtNmP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDmAXxsaZj
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3kDtivPUz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfACy5Dzg4d
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLJqSJ81lx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEB3ApO07H
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqhcbWxmLP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMeLrmRESf
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kIwxUvTUi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCdJ8pPAHH
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbs9rjRPd9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQAkrb83x9
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5qjdpfzmw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBuHg2uxgX
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73FaiqQaaX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrxHilARQD
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgLzBQBwiK
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIXB3vt4ti
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6D79o2c36
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDlcOku6RB
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUqiU21Szj
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURUmkDZBQI
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVWVVvdnup
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCO96LfYKaI
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbmzhIBY02
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH4HR45r3c
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbARrTUibaa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0PUxYtZS4
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6UHNhMMK9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0TAIeYhtM
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZHl0AqPGe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KSy3AtK5d
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ENkSDXcsG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqYMNSTVqb
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGloOhLnhW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PNUi2vAFk
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx1HYplo7w
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5jMd861yG
Louise: “Kneel.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ugLaLt6s
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkm76PNojkt
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0gONflrz7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gc2maNBjh
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrncuMjish
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCQnLchfTE
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j75EvRUlY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKvkpZCNwx
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPA8AL508H
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq4KUAE6pJ
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr59bVMkK3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LryYrcVf2
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…
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqMwhsZQGY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKdQaPdPwY
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?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWLgYPhDt9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS1wPRdvbW
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHAhzM96qB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXlOP8muxD
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc8CD8f91U
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVtUjmeOG8
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd2MhZf2GJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHolgwXt9iT
Flamma: “First kiss?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps3O0QQUUS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cz3FVL9Ua
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHBgevI65o
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxTLeTPmPR
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGkQrJRBpx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VcMoDSDD2
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Ed8I9SH0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3H0HJV9PM
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4suL9vs7mW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqbikZDivj
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7H7v73g1H
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zPB8jb118
Pain.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GSh2UPOvD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPCffBcfDv
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5F3CfMWJop
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh8yr6yCmB
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCfkwAcSHr
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruHhXNfVdf
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8XewPUMQZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0Wm08iCiD
Louise: “Let me…go.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo3eTE4AIx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSQtUIkaTc
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEp48AsQFD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy8psQU5CK
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj937491IS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC55Anoc3fz
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULYnVxn6ZD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YQon7E2Nq
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0WgdUnJpu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD0EzQwkHx
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuakopB6Zc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXYD9J2hR4
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOgqiz4idz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc6aLYkaY1
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrds4Aa1Z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp2OCTv0Mx
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75UjdCWmlq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvmRbbGZy5
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmr53Pxax4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejurDppGfy
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFcbsnjs1v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KYWBJUD43
Flamma smiled before replying.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oA319u4jY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6Ielfdmk4
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡME2iLeQNtu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4umakff1RO
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBJb5Ih7AX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixA6Vnp6s6
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?
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjAXanFJq0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMOfiRljyI
“Better we think.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboVzVWDLVT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjOSJlQkAI
Colbert: “Think?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmNwzwYR2F
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd76zJAZ5Ee
“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…”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C1uPzYXMC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbSp9TZcBL
Colbert: “But what?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9fuWyEyFO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mgyhKrIAp
“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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxYWYCFZa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2d5mAlmqh
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxnzLIYHYO
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jhmkhqHVX
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdK3qYm6OT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLztLCIEO4
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE53dHtkH2N
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Nv8WRTntR
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpbUDJe1Dx
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHytu7eUMq
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13c4RF5yqg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGn2UD1JAJm
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhB4Fot46g
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N77cvab01
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RgnKYlNWu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV57UHkVY3w
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23HYF4tvyJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHy2wmf1oC
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85zVroZCtX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqIeqosi5A
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JPnvjZrXi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNCxbuc0Zm
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdfQgOttqN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWxuk3vsaw
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjlvFBbBFl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EPJCL2Uiy
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3pxqPXMZn
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aQDWdUWvZ
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DMkjH130R
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bqcIbhXjf
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeABRsmNLFJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTIVXZF8Lc
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA9dKxjATT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeUXgxAHv0
“Yeah, for now.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VuRtk4eAC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV5c1XcC0Q
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKCzFS8Lca
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvj0Q2Ijj2
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC7ZGQFgOB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHdelNXRmI
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw76jNKPvc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXgtfz9BXa
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3EliqrTz3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvFLG4PLRX
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UMHLVHtmG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndDl9gQ0mX
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLFn5hzgqE
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQkah0pGV0
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEyec7ILNo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr7XQDXwzj
Colbert tried levitation.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9srh0mzho1
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlSK81xfqi
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28E8ZgJH6R
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwFP77RZPZ
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL2plmFmtH
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSnFukuoOw
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBfXmw1qm4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uYPNdi0zw
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTDpEr5x4n
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMtqzvT4RA
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMhL0XUzaT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X8TwRAjEt
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsBlzoiOED
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrCsSMhtd
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ewJPLMEhw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqLFSm91OM
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG1wg30vOP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwlBBX3jfF
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?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPsSD8SAii
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY7qWtxoBr
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwB1mUWKoyu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqnE7nX3YS
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLcrjy6Y0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo9XyThYhf
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERmzDqqm94
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEAxgMlBDf
Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VSQzQtdg4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg4Kcg3sr5

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpfdwU8x5r
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4iK3Y1RA4

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhbY8MpaGA
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Twe2YeiEi
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlwi5TJ5De
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLYU8e2gca
Colbert: “Understandable.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oJOnmSClO

Tech: “Now, give me space while I work. Shouldn’t take me long.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEkIbudh85
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vBropmpRi
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6mbApSflc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlTDWFRH1O
Colbert and all non-essential workers left Tech to his business.

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVPM2FonJ3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1cnURVQv
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaBTyf9aPz
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqmCkcoP2w
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfQpDuZXKN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeA3EpWxib4
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlhAbPTlkB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvmTPpRYEY
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo49zkYmVuR

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yppz1mkXR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmjr9PtzVg
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.

Dove: “Got it.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQPrHrXahu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q7JWvvlaq
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzXxOMo3EV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxS8ux9Q6aY
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhamX3nvCHK

Siesta: “Yes?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg60kZeirHR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzInOZ5S5Af
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3BLbuSbJl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpsssElvSm
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?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu57D7qwQa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhxNuyG9HA
Dove: “Yes, me.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDqJfJLNFG
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMeFdctr0E
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCE6l8a7jz0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbULec4JaAA
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VVhGXQ8LV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dTndRVmJL
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtAWC1rNwg
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXIm1mwX8E
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfukk3NNK7
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFE9lZQaoN
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKbqjlHEE3

Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVRnVe7Wyw
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNfOgjCc0m
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLznJbNHSWe
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu27MDRmUHs
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv60hDc03Kh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uoGFn1124
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrh3myHnC9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsryyUvEJn
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbnZAGXmE2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy72J9IpK9
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-?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ29Fhq8ffD
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN4hb1RtL1

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vXkoGbm5e
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonzTnRd8ZL
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDH4VlPBOa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzKjpo1JeF
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2UrvPfg9v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm3xWIbv9V
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbFnm2AElp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrijBoGFk6
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNHdFpNJRx

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXc2nuYCHS

She says with a smirk.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF5bHiwVcu

Flamma: “I won’t.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFOv5ek1Ts
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsHgernAvB
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKCCwgCfYh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjldRnjzxPs
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3eWIBb5aY
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO463NMoSx0
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9wDJ2HN8L
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdF9AHuKVW
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcCQ62d7KB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zrgFp7Viy
Flamma: “So you say.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhhnoZwv5S
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGixhvqTcUH
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFhmiTNdjJ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0Uzc8JjYG
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6SbbYvlUc

Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjkIphJ4wP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzlIPNFflW
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnrQYmhIb9
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGVeX7FDsG
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OfIoZJhGF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsCEolc6IS
Dove: “…What?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnDEogKrrl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEmwmx3zCL
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhpPXbkpRc
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1fSpfJ9b3
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyGLEq9trZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRWtFRZ49J
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.’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCHckdfes5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0IjLM918F
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN1tekaY6P
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sX40zLuDU
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITcjzMo1Lk

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wmvpQht8R
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSArvQdZV3
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeM1BS2R69v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZHJlSnXFd
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZAJmbgcIl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasToYiqWHn
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwgU9JGpFB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1IVQ74NvH
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77B2Rx5UlT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaTDQLs2IJ
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMSeF2iUnu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YGJr7wxpy
Zander chuckled before answering.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aewc12KKP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyc1mJjteM
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuox4jYF9Ff
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwACYPuA5R
Zander frowned before continuing.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLavvKe9qI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjlCrCQ4sZ
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SLyDWhvid
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lSNHHSzwM
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKoxWB917v
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VDKD5BLtG
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GL09DAOtI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mAXFODjk5
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7YuKzUtiX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHTW6VzF3e
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLQJnJKVoq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRAshtuaEX
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Buk2h8bC5
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDod77mVlc
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce8paHEXWi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4vxpV5Lnt
Zander: “…A little.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49LgyNeMmi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqf0FukyJtF
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxdaVnLAl4
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlueNs61orT
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaCa8cIP91
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R8URnYaWs
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpwctbBH7N
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc5o6lPSKK
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUugsl3IlYh
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz9hD8A1J3
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwmAK3yPoL
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti2GSxoSD3
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj389l520z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzllYQJFead
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OVoHtF5y2
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG99u7wCI0
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaxfwenNsu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTovNQlUcF
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnL1T5Pqii
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp1g3Zy4gD
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ592WIBjzZS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY1KhIVLUZ
Kirche: “Such as?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY36s3Z0bp
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcccu7lAU8
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUqVELCzGX
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wh4k7UjvG
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZrBfVhaCa
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOaFCkTMcU
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs7ey2iLbS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ628tTOwXTo
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…”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwC3aPX4jva
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QKXA2saLi
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tqMXyNQqS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu1EPkCpHp
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyvS06GXMf
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyx40s9DN
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRC7obOSGi
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxLufzDeL1
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTntuFmacHR
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLybVj4opa
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFKfJPXffy
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOvQcESz8X
Kirche: “But immortality?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XQLGSJK0a
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqK71ecu9F
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevuQdi8kth
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHrF3oHiuK
Tabitha: “Old.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JV7AyvJpW
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5hob4dLYp
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9ja4yjI46
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTen9QAGTr
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonuo2Q1CYu
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvrOSXUlbp
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmo8UrDyK3
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIG9bulVLc
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbwiPHq8xl
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pSaEnin86
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOZZHnhHSo
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wYYSXs7dG
Zander: “I look after my-”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBrrCkfJKR

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPUklEHwgV
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz3lNoY0El
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1yt7aFjnB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurXDTux4BM
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRsSC3UVPC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOYiCFXoYM
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSpYLuD5Af
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwgZyMnzYk
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwxoK9w5GP
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPygHS7Wgx
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCen8KN6cF
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LaJRDMVyW
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVZ3oIOv4Z
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIhpZixgu5
Tabitha: “Please.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw48NvRV0RC
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgYZc2M0sz
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJVPIghveB
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKL9bOvh52L
Tabitha: “Pie.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnOoC8CGV3

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jgrg047o0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbJuVRfUfx
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctiFkFIm2m
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG3FFR385I
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGFbp03ijQ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCDSub7gDf
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.

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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm4WeQdVIs
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSPdfF3X1B
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8bxnqeNmd
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrZvzvxaRs
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnMhu0dSTS
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWDRNT8B4O
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYuKckpyUZ
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0b4Krl5wH
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gaj1BxbiI
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp5ru0FmOx
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7KzrXVeeq
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNbEJ8Sv3y
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSV6RzubeN
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpVhnmFZnV
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFPexl3eb0
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodoLb0tU1p
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.

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN0UTD8Slk
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVSwmlOrug
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.

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShCT7qDl10
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.

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.

358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGf5fvqqun9
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.
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83oOPtkiXT
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS40wftwZ4
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.”
358Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJclAQ0o1s

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.
