Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOfyWjjjb6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUZSgplosR
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILHpmDoCz9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmUoHht9EO
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw3MZKtY85
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh0ZN3GMRU
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Bago3Fa2V
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M6pNpqDeu
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtabaRLpMhn
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8p6kYziGdG
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTUDSa5dfP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrOIdC6RTJ
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUgv7qoxVQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ADhevU8n
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP28bYVoBd2
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8m9Da2Bd8
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93HOe71LKN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTnAsdN7uG
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1jk3K3S2g
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwaeGDYNIS
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfw0RV1T4n
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7FEBtaUCu
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcRZe4D668
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87OZzpbxal
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEJzmx0hQy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHwgwxCvlE
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhHbBunEFa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulrG0hZnFR
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhUq7m4A70
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBBIlMtGqt
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn98FCsVWlp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tJGE0Ra0V
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWL2gtVo2Y
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgVA0KyInR
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPGw3K1lCs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wgf9FO7VQ
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwLdXDFASS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRyW6RwfMB
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUAT9sv6SR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDI42N3PY9
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U9V9UY0mg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgOV6YS6Pt
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVRuGP76VT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwCeBI3cPk
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ay2ws942l
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HJG7bbvJR
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmjcUOfyRG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwlep0r8fd
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1K0pHxrKGV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ub2tlGSG6
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdujRvuJka
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qhNLUAPWp
Louise: “Kneel.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MqapSvjDv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvtQuWom8k
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eNZMsjIVg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MWKIOKdU6
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4eujDbuJC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMp26BFlkc
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pLHHYq6dp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAbAXkSxq1
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXR3lfxKSB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIpac2PqQD
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6Bd8e3Cc9
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABRTrN8a7G
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…
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kgdXQO6H7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3liJ4Acs0
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?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW5ftxb7dZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoMXs6sPRC
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB5Unm0Aiz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNmsBftBX7
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEyU9Juqah
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSPGkajSnw
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4S0htIVXo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT9IiUO6qE
Flamma: “First kiss?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM4H2qq4yN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbJjKabPkW
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJJPQzUtXs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW3ZdUIgFP
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9RjHAk7BN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRbw6asu6S
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25hF1u8pjY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNEzDTOYEt
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLWZPvMIox
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXLPL1QcwY
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkroKeIUkPI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztU8B8hnA1
Pain.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw51fiNtCZI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tZCG5lgGb
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIeePHUDEt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BBoQUwFHG
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCyYAHO0dR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzye5mTGiMy
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8nD7eh7OZ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLrAZw2zCb
Louise: “Let me…go.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxhLTBGWxd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqLMQwbTzt
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZwI9YX5cU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGq8wHN9BR
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitO5ePVmLK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuhDKsZijw
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG6SFHIMoz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnnAZs9RMC
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgptZNURAn
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosZGGNBvgq
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtzcRZPaul
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkfyyU7JG7
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJuZzKAM25
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHbIqmFRNn
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbngqAplRte
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4aWA4EFd1
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgSSTrHdpl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GfFXa0liM
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApQaDheQ3V
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPqGwI1fPg
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrSqoyJZXC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqkyHtfVWD
Flamma smiled before replying.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacl6LebwNu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTQYshHXIz
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8oK3T4dop
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYvkzUW1LA
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwOgOREMd7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha8r4kFm1O
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?
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvsxpD9XXQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSGoesr1Gy
“Better we think.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQ3Xjjzdj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgL1uy7FFq
Colbert: “Think?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVapon0FtK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp3CMaGOOD
“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…”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYILUFhzJsN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR98k149H9
Colbert: “But what?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtwZgEQiee
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg289q9PxP
“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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCvkZRum4K
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAFtw0ou4K
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzzVvQCEUv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuTcb5Gr8C
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIBH2k2ss5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnufPmtbAtV
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTiWO2VDDd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiegR08tXC6
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTcYBkFFz5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIqVNZGzFM
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSVttkb4446
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYPG1wmvxA
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt0cTsecK3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLQCn1Ei5S
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvrY9VU8rl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KzPTGP1z1
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiP0Q0Ff8Z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQbgrmkUCb
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrZMiLwWMl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSJsK1FUGr
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAeTZD9aOA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5j30YTgtvg
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjb4pw46Pj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKS6NwrHz4q
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropEz7wAkt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZY5CzcJyn
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSYAcJPcEa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50aOSwkmLn
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3z4Sz08Th

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4VMZKXm6j
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2m08pCoix
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCSawMw0w4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMA6hhXjl2
“Yeah, for now.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUjOgTYs6W
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3qoUqx97n
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiji9p2lPv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc35fGZBY7Y
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OYmiR9nEV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FvANQKmqg
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeegpA4sqwS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSdSfied71
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNr2eTcMkD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJHHXY7K7S
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaqnhyaZv1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETj9tsfojs
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUThgFfaOm
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt6a2SkZDY
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlh6uVjeFP
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfTAdktzZT
Colbert tried levitation.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sLVnx6IBv
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLLWZUhQd
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJWFvi04tI
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTGviLuAW0
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCueuSohAq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWFmd1uYon
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIHpzmWBBJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7oJ4T89Ke
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZK1B0OOfk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMCtKou8B
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXHtJcCqHX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJsINNZI9A
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nyrXb4qDs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4l4f07Z0l
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBzThQbvGC
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXsqvxTBwO
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DGI48cCSO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VI2PG9GQm
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?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdF2oJ5tGJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnJVsMZsHb
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bWhWCmmIc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeONx9QoTwt
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ1XLPN3es
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSivRtMGBL
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3FPeftBR4

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88fV3vRGp0

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpPvWOLhqz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS36yZohBI

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngCwhG74mn
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52q4iGlKvo
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Jr9h7xma
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd72zlZhEq
Colbert: “Understandable.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw8ZeRRF5S

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD9sz0wrT5

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X8L8rcKyR
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfy07zLFEng
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsopLByN3jV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08XCkGhqNh
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCdHFlpo5z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpRHy73OT4
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vNLWDzCJw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtyCsSZo6
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZkGvrEgvv

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSckJt17G2H

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedlsCRu7Ol
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.

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSUO2FcxBs
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5S82IkJWx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTh22V6JR2t
Dove: “Got it.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm1KJWaM45
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qaWODnDOw
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1iUAGuuwa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISuoggJqgn
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3EqGAP5ki
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HC8A2noLB
Siesta: “Yes?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZLB5oH2YO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yYSBYhUBH
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEX1onNgJp
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAjp0F7RL2
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?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1eGbxoIAN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaAbrLxVcA
Dove: “Yes, me.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOX2flVcr37
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mzQCavRvn
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXZEUXN8fc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SW0TMWbPI
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KgK4bXvrQ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7Ef9eFq6
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsABVM9n48
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIiYzOqJxv
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6x2rZCwjA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBeS500fjX
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8ENvtlf2c
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpZflFnwnn
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwsT9eauvD
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx2O5E6tQg
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfOyMupdIg
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtOMWNmOU0
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yaRJ6xrWq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZL4LYQH90n
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wfH7nQal3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7MtqsgAj
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlp4ZCHz95
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZD3t4pYZi
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-?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9tBwfYPyr
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXkQ36VOGG
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOWQwtuwty
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqFBisa8PX
Dove: “Got it.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO216PgwmI

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX12O72kTs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7za3jeaFPf
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ZTVBM1pw
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8z9Ktk8hY
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8mdALCRO8
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fqg5gr6Wh
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHERaJQ1o1K
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOMzUGYHrz
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuedehpqqk
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyzcr3Rdlw
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjqmkrqw0N
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdN1BJWGfb
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIC8TpPkMl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSA49Dy1if
Flamma: “Oh really?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPIr2pTDuz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfI2p6SKycp
She says with a smirk.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkG5gAJxwXs
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgEfUOG9B6
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBYN9S5EwV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHzeJoV9Bm
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzdLTVIVLz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnSEJGJOQT
Flamma: “I won’t.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzGwf5ntKG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCHbsZFOlH
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RwO58Z8ta
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCl9W67Skv
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyzBcHNhdW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhZuOuatXw
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwM13bC2TLK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqevGuAbsEO
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUZEtEfX78
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262GtYExsC
Flamma: “So you say.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5lOkOunzJ
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrz1gpNt16
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUNbWj0J5k
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRxpt9e8WX
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaAF05cZOS
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1VhdsxBHt
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrI1RMY8R6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AWXoTSbCy
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqp3LfubvK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoQoHKObSg
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70LIk3yigh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyX7xw18E6
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2c0Qro9xOe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7rYv10eJa
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oxBoPRgJ1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVrVt53PY3
Dove: “…What?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM5eul5vuU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI1j6MpHmb
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYegLdgHEpz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehK6MZuQiY
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbW6oBQUo0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbt3G4iuYz
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.’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStJ3aOzMQT
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLhWTDpiCh
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6vrdZeGZV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOkCq3UYGw
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmWXo15SUq
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5o60NZT5MA
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqtvGyS8na
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6v2DEq2Rb
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQaWluXDyo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y3TYmV7d7
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TeKze7Fls
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoNZihtue
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEPIjn00LG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWEC8yQdUK
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9z4J84DLX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfs8EccU9v3
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8DwVRQav5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOwZIYRUO1
Zander chuckled before answering.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJTDRsZfWy
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM8Qs1sIVq
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeuXfv8dYRN
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic3Ov02AQX
Zander frowned before continuing.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOLWAua3fX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCkMXhIEFK
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW8GymZNDG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukzKSQLRaS
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpWEjNzt3L
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSb4nQe5mwi
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a1JjxxcFF
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpJfh89KFc
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f0nHmB9zB
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuVxhyUgPK
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHeuWnKNep
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVXnCqcn2y
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyOMCEcygU
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmsZY0p3An
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaoBFiJw1K
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBSefugPdb
Zander: “…A little.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWT3M7rA9Q
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNSdb7dap1
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtFYwPpGZc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMONUs9Gfh9
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hVP7QbsMz
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ182bEHpRpR
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcYA2u5mH0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1rZAnDrrO
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHJ2E7mcY7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZcOPQB95y
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkjekrjG5z
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ7T4D673i
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cxxkMIDUf
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iK6oMSk1L
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRwPeanIU5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkAsa3RHgb
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iorm5pqYG
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisfxDgh7ee
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFa4dPgaRx
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkZMk65Ded
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18tJ5L0e1i
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLz0fSM9nM
Kirche: “Such as?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu0qhYfJ9C
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOtNG8ADBf
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyulNHOPUEK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavZD2C23kW
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQBiGhlle6
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCvmoiPU8Q
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkc0Taf3HB3
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPpi7Xt5SV
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…”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcBctSqox0
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pLKKGxo7o
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnTfBpR3BO
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoayP2yHrB6
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJPhN2S8e1
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRBuodQBUZ
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec67Ccnj7e
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr3lHUBdpi
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1M8KxKadh
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1Cel0ToJV
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoAgwfjjFW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaih1xHoZX
Kirche: “But immortality?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiuQWYcK5H
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDFPgoFfHR
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJBsDtj0TV
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYOai7Yz6B
Tabitha: “Old.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlUhy1W3H8
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlj6vSCTHwV
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYH9DiNu6YW
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlum2t18pBy
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0xWX6SIbd
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAnERdTe43
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJsRwmdvWe
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNVQgLdGUO
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDclouTfdo
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHPfXea26
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBj4GO1cUa
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAeQEuX9NH
Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEYZbDp2zu
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5E151rt9jR
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVYg4YJA7F
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56ERRZtQiR
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtieFnWHh1f
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYPNBoyTyF
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieXQzqA10h
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdEn1t4vfu
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUktZ5zdOt
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJlIqCTCTh
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcsHWjtuxA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjFFesqJPy
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXtAAnC1RA
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1f0bwwc9n
Tabitha: “Please.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHpdpJ8zoe

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRozMWPyFn

Tabitha: “Pie.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYUBzL4r4M

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW307LuRsap
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Tnp04CBu
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXu4wgs0rj
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l44WxJOsY
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5FdyIYhZc
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LCd9ZwpsN

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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M9M1VD81E
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUf3NxQC9C
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioh1MMzyX7
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbDERypez
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVJtIbBA87
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YePSRUhgY
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY66w8CX5yY
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02tcemoNVx
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhr1S4ma2w
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PpwqO41IS
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5asOqW6dP4
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavJuby3z3L
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOGpfpKEIl
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5igs6sahT
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLQToZlmam
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQCbiLFWbU
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoVgZPPAmX
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNHBkfbuPE
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?”

“Now that I look at it, yeah, isn’t that what she uses every time she walks into class?”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbp3wuko1b
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKrP1DPvwY
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.

Montmorency: “Guiche, who is this?”

416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehq0HP6WHK
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVEQPbEng7
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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fuM8qzret

Tech and Flamma couldn’t help but laugh at that. While Dove only further narrowed her eyes.

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.
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnCOM8FrN5
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9ucjXeUtQ
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.”
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGMYSQCuDM
416Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFxHmH9C2u
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.

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