Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWZ18i8a0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85jkMkLFXf
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJgo6aueB
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0puvWZLOJ
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcspsLd04De
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3H9V7JzNT
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3KSkysCP6
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU2mRHqXn1
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ajBRedLuY
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj7EJLSEMB
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeMc1f3lO3
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL10rHY92m
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq6lytJ4Ju
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvz7KbLL2vN
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVAQbPMaQh
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9vl2a6ycd
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkUZW8azxv
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoRG0IdTbo
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb68bJ5T5fv
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU02QQVLOpv
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzPyWxtNMy
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pgYG8HGR8
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvysWhXmIl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHl1tVlcmH
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6suQWomjM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNIjhOSwga
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCCF6OxI5N
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvAyjZNwQu
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4SiP55zRW
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzF79aOMRNr
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jafQvtUQ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHfsVeWt82
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb13kGrNUZR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNpI37FSWn
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAmCjyFuy4
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tLuscQWkr
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKhrJhwrIS
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OtZ6dkwDu
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVVxJLJuOR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvf0jO9ctC
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9f84fL0iq
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDKlDZxQkt
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTaTDWRxFl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk73Cdcx3k9
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rM4iRBYbO
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jdbS2wBEv
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwHSWF2PR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKINcQbunLY
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mQ7zIWmut
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡropjYQfgFE
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegySmTMUME
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3O9SLGwhk
Louise: “Kneel.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wvHF1nljW
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUJDPEug6i
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMVWuqStay
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGd7jcrMS8
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoGFNQleLO
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYZ6f3gct9
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEPjA3z2LF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ksbO5Vxw
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjSIzLAJoE
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Zt6AdDMb
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkCacT3fho
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgJHEe9rGp
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…
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOPi8QLOJG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooWkLlZlxu
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?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAU0gE0tGy
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6alvZvtDVK
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiwDi7yW1F
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDUz7GiX87
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4PGCaMsSq
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnf1NddsoU
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe24MoaDGJt
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKPyBa29vY
Flamma: “First kiss?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwBZmnfe5i
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpSTGPL6U6
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmQus79VTl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanAT2XeTpo
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSHfQTgZ7f
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2YdhrPXvE
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eNVJOSEnD
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl7P048YHw
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeXjkc9PV0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQqq3ifzv
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwi81IDt6cr
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEmleGpoTU
Pain.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa21PgmXfgD
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYoB0kxH3O
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcRZvMoAb8
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ogu34xQop
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YQOJOWH5O
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnFf26isWJ
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpYNUFtvBw
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZbrqOnWGh
Louise: “Let me…go.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj75ydE6kt
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKbz8tmMff
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gqsZ4833D
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jsXWQ73o2
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmHU4ow3M9
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxAaKmL0mp
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyDOi0ToFG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWp8GLe7NA9
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2921qoqYnL
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5b1JqqYpx
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTcm6QzmCC
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL8uayD4wE
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFJ2hzvL2N
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvZ9tylIkn
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoI3XBxJfo
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV38HfxvMy4
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCZzicaP2S
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmRxFpMRy
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVaDrIHWf9
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3njbX17Ynw
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYvE5NddIc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfWHLuWJYy
Flamma smiled before replying.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3ciZB510
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCveye8WDDy
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxhOfVHNOh
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZz6f1BA5
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjfwNkEgHl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzM1otizna
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?
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERl3jJhFww
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLzmy4wUe8
“Better we think.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgr7bsfLd9
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3TN7vJvo
Colbert: “Think?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPFcJsZSCn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEJew6qjB
“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…”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YIO6szXUh
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA74O9KBrdt
Colbert: “But what?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvaS2Ijle
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GibMbbrul
“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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1jm7QvQUg
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcGGbMmdGD
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSh69R6SHZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDJFU2nMtf
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G4mZ0o5gR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2Fxw6oZ0F
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy6kAngUSi
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlBRCbWMTc
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogZOdU3Lbq
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5rUCDFOd7
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfLe9bq238
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYmUR53rZZ
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfL33OPF8F
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpvVFbKNeg
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BayzcOUr5
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb66Pt46H4
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISkdmyirOS
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke3E4qikWt
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhRshezWkL
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CNfkyGtQK
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBjwG6Qdhf
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeRpAuc1tS
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv6ewjrYAl
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H32GkiNui
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflTMHHOXM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAmyDooURs
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4QI6luc7I
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjo36WnQ2B
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYJqJsCaeJ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5axiZ4NMs
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0XUAV68Mv
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcqhGWKSuH
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYrW3lKoJ1
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwTXiicz5E
“Yeah, for now.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLnRZx19e

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cyXUxBNN2

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdokZTI6JB
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW3pII3keG
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEdxTwWQAj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCuuAYbuhW
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5dDco04QI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1t9vlYgi4
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyszhIU9I4
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ049JVAYzkg
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq6SdVDVsL
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJU8SDA37i
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZSD9VYV33
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKFtBlL1X1
Colbert tried levitation.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDZlPvYQiI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFlKl0HeYQ
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nv4ehjcgU
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm22oTnkcP
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXAdLbAOCr
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk67NMhvF2n
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSXQoI07Ag
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoaUWEMumw
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c7oeOGCpT
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrJfX8fPZS
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0yXVyxFz8
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDnbLp3kh3
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurmnvwfa6O
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sTWYjK4UA
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrd5Tr5K3G6
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAJflgUn2H
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauo3zgOPDc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbIfARKCni
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?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBORagnccAX
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcKWasjL60
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZRpowigI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwUWVxYHsn
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvC98VGTCs
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAHxk4b2q9
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5aGpjhnv
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxVCtRGYJ0
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKXGaGI3i5
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaDx4CItlb
Colbert: “Understandable.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmx8wJn074

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjHGuyL2e9

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepFHpn3AIT
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuoH0LFj5Z

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonqompbvml
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQARVZ7y6
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGF1fLvifR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSDZ4dvgju
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20mh5qJsfM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGToieazr3M
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s2uyAYWms

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DXKq8BaWD
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUnFvd1BjN
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNu4KcxSO0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPx1RcbhR6h
Dove: “Got it.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y0IQ8W3ZV
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdtQsJ50FM
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShkQ9Vofeh
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w1laeV726
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLntrOk5gJx
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0actQXMkF
Siesta: “Yes?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcaijtYOkn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfSsMnTtHE
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTUdk628Mb
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5XWRj1MXZ
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?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBRtCOLcAK
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9HPVW4zAf
Dove: “Yes, me.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXiJYwNPfF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7gXSpNXIh
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTZ0P3CVyJ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOmFC5Vgwh
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2MSB9XY0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eNvGJshoN
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTAt7Y39r
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlvocmHYqH
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvX8YdWMaUj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstnHvBtRMX
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMapKThehn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MTjvBvns1
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLq46BjOsmD
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEF9HIDqn1s
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nfubDqkqd
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNbYJJQAC8
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXkdZ4kcL
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqacoduoNwl
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgjRN8CjWG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuy1eRqffa7
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV107ywsyk
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DXUm3RDPS
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-?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlQY7ao7nk
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DsQQMUb2d
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwvzdNrW5G
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr1InkUYq8
Dove: “Got it.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDD1um8uN3

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1itETgGQG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l4mSRK7B9
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NdDrzkXYC
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmMPVgMdyt
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Cw04HCo3
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNQgDHvRR2
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2ctXDJM3
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbNE2WKbBW
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc96eFLlQP
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopPXBTgnsB
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOOladWTYZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhIJGmV02r
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh08zdY0h8M

Flamma: “Oh really?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCiQCU3J7nM

She says with a smirk.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjgtwsxAbO
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9howgP2Ue
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreR77tB2jn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6HDUeU1Wf
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3mB7y2lnf

Flamma: “I won’t.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL1QlsbrVa
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnJxCvjhfl
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSt7fdsGRV
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8yOw1lt3S
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnQcMP5I6
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzepTEoHk9Q
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MpJ7Fscr1
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzMbydQ19R
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs3WYSCd2v
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA7ZlgYmPh
Flamma: “So you say.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VFkVgfrjc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMwMZGh0Kn
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoO3L9YjSbR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFDFJKTytq
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJCcCPjGbR
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1jWot9flW
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKZ6xWyb1I
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuR7x7gfnj5
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO0MJ5gqpA
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOLGEpmBru
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVZQX2gLoH
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwnkUus33k
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBYW9qaM0D
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VR9BehVkO
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUP8mFCsBt
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzMY6DBfdO
Dove: “…What?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUh8tvDCq4C
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdVMME9hDM
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE70ugvBPZj
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwWBbjqJYp
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQkLMG0s0I
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6xyK4u9f1
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.’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1Hc63UiaZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJKqyk4gzZ
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6aVUsDnmz
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSk8NBuUTx
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEFApDoC3m
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLOFU0OlaX
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaM28csCon
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0REKZmPJR
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZQW2SvRMC
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1w8T3M17Z
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlUz9GqB31
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo7CJS74om
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAdW6uhSgT
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7PxOpmd6X
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoypSK2NkTF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhetzgmoKx
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI7JxVwu28
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrxiIkg5fJ
Zander chuckled before answering.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4CW3prN0F
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPnJssHMAm
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9nKPQGbeH
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL1aA1BUr5
Zander frowned before continuing.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0CjppnTWz
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNBoUTMmcT
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQo2ZFvRQ8S
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ArriInbL6
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe10nzmwrYP
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47AGMoWWic
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8KHqXhQwa
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZeQ4Q6lcm
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhZqEujanA
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DYoIowjbZ
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0YBSKW6QN
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8dQvHqWIu
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdr0oxdT4y
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xtbwZKZZq
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylUQ59GafO
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQchyvb0Evs
Zander: “…A little.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltzD0VrwIe
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTfaQYUSEx
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRJIUiFhXY
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbpQQkSrnY
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ft8Dj67wi
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5cZcam0I1
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvVt9HPFKF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm8UdqcKGX
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XcXlDzOBi
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5QlwzemKB
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfzjDFvCFP
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVWKvXF4uZ
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthMoqlz4ZM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RQsgfAXEj
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwEz6zPS03
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO4f5iBQef
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntHsjCVv3j
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ6z78zvov
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BLeVFYWGx
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡursbeObIL7
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC81gIZOnwy
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYt1wx2gLM
Kirche: “Such as?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNI9kNgmjF
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdOzJdT1y3
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSgjIY49z2
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbvlQCBhj8
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaSCO9xg6Y
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tD6nvs2j5
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvMxKqs7pb
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUwVx0CjLz
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…”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2fCvXBwwc
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LN3xfAfhx
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK8LmgERNy
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMeRsowjxq
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlkljjQoOM
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUja87t8src
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4XGyeYdVt
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iWhARUi8j
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyQuCKgK8y
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOBNe7BfWV
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3ErlaRlFN
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59fFBiVk0E
Kirche: “But immortality?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9PK8WNMMf
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrKWZ3MTMB
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG3Gn3hOMY
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfa8WB7ac1Q
Tabitha: “Old.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0dUuf0K5R
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8puFZHjcUG
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wb9KJSxWI
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9bldITdF4
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QtBbCOfnO
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1vA0cSaM0
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6VsTAGJgA
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj9XY9xMyx
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN4p2uWScZ
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMn1kuhlsD
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1pZNhtpBa
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlZ6xR1UPk
Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiIRyrjnFw
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5nMskG2FH
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuoFR4Rjdm
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4l0BUa2ol0
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVnaPsNY6O
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8P8mKnUG7
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbJzbireFD
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWqYKcay8F
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJJG6fChN
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnH5g8WnrYp
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TYbPftYTg
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJm3bMrdZ4
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPulDIMI03x
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQAeURrZLv
Tabitha: “Please.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsIgoQmfja

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkhwhsTTlm
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEPG2HgXk8
Tabitha: “Pie.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJP8DZpgRS

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcK9ByBscn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBvwAENqTT
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6UT5HweV5
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEokJvWluvS
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9lkR5HY4D

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrAxJq0yIR

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivv41sc5Gn

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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWpw3vqAxG
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpe3GL5L3R
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4jUv2ZDeE
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrABa07sSMz
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Lv0OyjJq
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ojNSfK5ml
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdzB6BjM0Q
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2exHC4Dfl
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdPYI2H0Mn
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XF3VjDw3h
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWecZyUfoYE
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUWgTjb5Ud
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.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIXogGbiof
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRVfizpQrR
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Now that I look at it, yeah, isn’t that what she uses every time she walks into class?”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUS5Iz5pUT
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfCMXnHQkB
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.

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCWAvvezTT
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.

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…

Everyone stared as the godly man finally made his move. But he’s not alone, Kirche was also marching with him as if she was already his queen.

Guiche: “A-A prince?”

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PX3NOeWyp
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8brSghcXDN
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAAd0U1A2c

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JeHeVwsy0
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL60nIzbhuT
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.”
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sgA4Gtvgg
437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgqXe91wiM
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.

437Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvlqpA5cIM

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

Tech: “Great. Siesta, could you help me to the nurse’s office? I need to do some more repairs to my systems. Dove and Flamma, you should come to. If we’re fighting together, I should make sure you don’t slow me down.”
