Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7xaogfoMk
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyw0PkIUTi
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUDDGtxyoO
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyYnhTMviA
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJMgJbDzKZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd0E0IioRz
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuWVVDrSx9
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiIU85wJIp
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjRp4ZjfOK
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQvjjAkj7O
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA85K5NctJm
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRc6VHvuylE
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnaHYIoJPJ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoT0p1rhbY
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3TzMrFe62
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisMb3T1nBD
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bmKdVIMkh
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0P2o5yFgV
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYJnDmohZU
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyHP2LMsAi
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8MxdpaRlt
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlS54dBB6D9
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhqFddn5gi
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkFSXJldjy
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4TnZWvqql
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jpYIOcZuf
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAKqGeOsRn
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKKl8ThueQ
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuUzuvJSmg
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyar5VJWJq1
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJZCSNY0qY
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsijXK02RYq
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1PD7tQLpt
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUXRCc8BuW
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFAbGgzDxE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIH7b3JPFI
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ1BdWVZ9S
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuUceNWxRR
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZdZgHvJW0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGJ6m0JpI9
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID9We8M6xf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzH0KsnpeE
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsijvzbON11
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49lIIA8cQY
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RZJEdQois
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSm8mGCZy0
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmn0VI2OmtL
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3VQfmH4H4
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj1mVs0gzH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcvU4lBIn1
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBES0SppHQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkk0tzqoW4
Louise: “Kneel.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqJqBQLzDC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu7O9ydtiM
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuFd3PXATX
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0pCrjo1js
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1a1ZPCjHx
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rENy0uisS
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoN2Wz3p7I
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hVHM6wkbl
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7JxKiI7x
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrzpyu50tF
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPLffDSHOe
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRNYWzNBt5
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…
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4s1IbvO99
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtcps5ly1s
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?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPBGlGHMRO
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3IUh1P7G
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqdvVjRulA
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S4R4v6QzI
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvV7Yl1d8K
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoijc2wpOn
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F8IfWO4ZD
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiTZLpDcSR
Flamma: “First kiss?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmN0XGjjFah
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjLqISRnA7
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1JHB2kN7W
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTOFGXGKus
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnkFsJlhzh
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSWzcdS2Zm
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY43rr9Sx4c
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKErclw9tm1
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFW931IFRo
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSJRLtaLAU
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY3wHU3eai
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQBj8t2zOv
Pain.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphDjyCqlL8
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLNz6u5SL3
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc81NflSle
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiI6P67jEY
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcMcxI2xEb
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CaED8q9i9
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpzxChbS74
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUzfasTwaZ
Louise: “Let me…go.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7vqZtOwUB
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTJWONlS0V
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2idyYTYNHC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUFvXwP5cg
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhFOCZFewd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgJoLTtG2H
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCvcW92BY0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4GASVU3ws
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypIyqqotZo
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifHteydwHp
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2GglLcYRa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJDQNCfCkC
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7dzfF6PPQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB2I5AnfEo
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5sPpVJRhw
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzKOpaRLkD
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhTG8nNQV
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnIln8ivUr
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1Reqk3HgI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVK6ll6SvV
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EKklbEu0a
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTSSbmQceo
Flamma smiled before replying.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazCg6msFxp
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOb11zsPCi
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnkhU3HCsm
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvKMXWcTF6
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WPOdsVTDd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtOSFX2twS
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?
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWaVbXNML5
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdBFiJ8k9k
“Better we think.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhZ5t86dCT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIokME4C0bs
Colbert: “Think?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQT1dijM4
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGuZwPnR6e
“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…”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSYLRzy7Gf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2CPgoYxw
Colbert: “But what?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwoO3R0Ui3
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJOOqOYPe9
“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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkIwPZkKU
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpbrQI29Nc
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nMBLaqBpM
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArIOCp6u0A
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ246P2G7rKn
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcixan0d5YI
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KbVptCCHP
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DlsPrAyxS
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BnMMo8V0X
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpwLumHlOF
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3er4MNSB5M
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90g0pWQule
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1z2BW2rPGH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrU7bybUt34
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4FInDSMBI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlJX364XfY
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMexQQN6Q2
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Du0SoYnp
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNby3RWz3l
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGORKlGn3WL
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoCtgNGIeM
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceWBUv8NaX
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iD9hKThCe
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhES3kUsmCb
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03VfBOiGmd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVrgo6jgb3
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpLCSAxJ9O
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hCG1NvR5J
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCCyzzTvcs

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgXq8oTLX6
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hpjp4hHYz
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ntYuhgIuH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCWXnLQYj
“Yeah, for now.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMnOsbtbPl

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDpaq1bPWU

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgi5uZ5Bej
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqgS75vPqk
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumSpsG8Jyf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUVF7UUSvI
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yn9xzJaf8
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5K3pVwqpP
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDZDJaM2ik
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaFg0xRXg8
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuBgRd8NMQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVvSpyuR0g
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4XCGbs4ue
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HKvrSghMb
Colbert tried levitation.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRsK65FWaK
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqJQDQctI2
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTBIEnO2QJ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiQAnCarSj
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVxbH5Ot2Z
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILvInkadqo
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlRsMrGcJh
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRsTiUq18H
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHJYAHQ7r1
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGArmTwDO9
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rlqKHDM8Q
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzgJmJkJf4
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTQz62z1XD
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzacJAQdgqR
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpShvX9guu
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJbynAR9Q
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hU6DM8e9
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbMdxHhWYh
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?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8EPvJQZB
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVroLKip6f
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkVzqwxh8R
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9jGmCQ9zR
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0Uw10TUGw
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZZP7Eu22g
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GN1mdnOJ5

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjcqrus3Up

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uakqDlLm6

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aPZtUUFaq
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6t9T12oE5a

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzqVBQalwv
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WxsynDleT
Colbert: “Understandable.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1FevXd3yd

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo6CUvaPRA

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIs64h1YqD

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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNofn09C6ws
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CUAUR9dDi
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFaWpwhPJOm
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMzBrpDvkE
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jz5GPQX53
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGD6DmGvai
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZApjqmmNd

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a7XLotJpu

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuDiZ2ba0p
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LFQuUCIx0
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.

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVCeBH5afA
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6DV6I5pdU
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wle1yXjma
Dove: “Got it.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepUNHihTyx
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3fePB9gyt
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2lnmpkZ9U
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor5M01LOmU
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniBWL2VoRh
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I9MaJa8iz
Siesta: “Yes?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yd6Ir544
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaj71XW039
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4nsQggsrf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeA8GoBEOd
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?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lv3aTG4B3
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VpsJehht9
Dove: “Yes, me.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDk1wIaMb1
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vcFD0Yq8a
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUfenAeehA
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4HQjoR3PC
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPc4pv7m1O
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflqieY6UC5
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDNbRYZxLn
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3SHz8Mn4U
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6B9Xg2MCc
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYNCa8iRGT
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIa4jt3lcIQ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsHlFk8AzO
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9PtCETHhy
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ5S9DzBlf
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMPiTvn5uy
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP70aruEMc8
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HOthROfj6
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwUYzpAihB
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXMzNCh45c
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ch5A99YkV
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVqlDK5Oj4
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRmXV7gTJM
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-?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpubhWQpn4L
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrMuPAOege
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTUGgUvtbv
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq3QCrloKY
Dove: “Got it.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJA1WyCoa7

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFYhGN8fDF
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdurJiW1ioZ
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs0bSf9XHu
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSJGr9asLW
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv7hkuhWyC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1FOmBUPDK
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjZDKJaIv4
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIeCYsWxwy
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFMriWzHsa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFwqF3rOGr
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn91yo3YSQy
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN41wQrLPe8
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKFpTDAsHx
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0M2UACbmRv
Flamma: “Oh really?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zKJJpbFYj
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLr17cL4LRV
She says with a smirk.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zVOzywZX1
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMbq4ugQH5
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEM8p3C3oR
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsYLYhpqGk
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfkmYGShHb
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS2EuPqYJH
Flamma: “I won’t.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSkJlgy7B
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8W2nUptZZ
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLIU99MbTH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLWinZSarl
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWPobPlgR7
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIR1AdyaTe
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWaGaHoyMCX
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN7hz8w5uS
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNOYXLY9yC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdyTWYZEf9
Flamma: “So you say.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMQ70JUpAG
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHR8mr8iSH
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu6QNnKxT5
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPiubi23DW
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cHmB0qAFg
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMHNpCC1Fr
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZZbD9NHE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SVUdg2gGb
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoOO1yqepf
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJmYcdoFsr
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG09lrBCysT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx4ugVZWBl
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIr9uXVpElD
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N1NhyZiUu
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38LskGccTj
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7EmtbMo45
Dove: “…What?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsYt5Y7u2x
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5kgYLDDRl
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4OIHD3d5U
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjv8dlf5dP
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApIPJAbqnk
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdVNwTg5pH
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.’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxioj4MdyA
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvnZZtNm51
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qqRwf2wUF
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjKqGL7nmS
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9oPTZk94q
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYaDeXEdAF
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7fRy6IzUi
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g9QjI1MIO
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujpHnl4boN
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRnLUshJoq
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxUebfZAvt
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiAMHhXQ7o
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6JXbc2mCb
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPyJaFmWrd
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwa60P7xvD
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc2QcHxB1C
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltiQZ2BKNp
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEcMMGDL48
Zander chuckled before answering.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFpoM2U1yd
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4aBZwt6qp
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJrRIPD8fC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEqs6IG5QR
Zander frowned before continuing.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM84P0oJjU
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudOOCw4rw
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg96F6dCvT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbynvMZAn7
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhjISrk2jM
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaSEFQRV3F
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqbD8Y9OU0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxTt7JIWFO
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcu99w8QLD
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF20nsi8k3
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTTAVqocGP
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG0PEKMr36
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13FO5fwTZ6
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY93yfomia6
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9k6LnRKHz
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vBFlJfPc6
Zander: “…A little.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O7FRWRQjv
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiCPdlkNKv
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vbLsae1ve
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnhmpuPUiZ
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCZn8EogDT
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY70mK6Sh9s
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCcJewst73
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE0bcnaPdm
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVebpzww2Rr
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqDFzhoQ6o
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlXtxSI5lw
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4Qf5bsHOG
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9ZgIXZKHo
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgdFz9AtYD
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvhAG34a3a
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cm5nk461a
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx5Rq8Zq4i
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpiG0cdPTA
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZESeInWEP
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxUJqIqxOy
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccjoHn62Hp
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NKUljBbXP
Kirche: “Such as?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvZTWw0MCc
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkA4fcH3fpv
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDd21eQZ24
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEMBXLhnB4
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuArmM5yho
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcEALTmd6f
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2l06E9DKv
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzovZt5fe6
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…”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYMBjO8EnO
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t1WqLE11g
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXK1m80Q2X
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1HtMtqqpW
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZYzd50YFZ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA4ewcXjVu
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkVqVZKN8k
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT8PmXHBuu
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2IWJMdG5F
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFWIw8G8PH
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpVq54xH4t
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrggAXH5n55
Kirche: “But immortality?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5S9K60cOr
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡektHb5So0L
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5iNFo756I
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA4rzdxaaO
Tabitha: “Old.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDA19feqrG
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9IP8iZcL1
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsI8VY05zE
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlt9MhLmZF
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVfGUhL6Cz
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkq5NnAe5r
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonkYHRim90
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWTzglxwbV
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9toOOpFbfa
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75TSKhDABL
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz7HppfQpC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAPzVUvHjn
Zander: “I look after my-”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoExoP1fwuI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH88WSZaQyt
“Would anyone like some pie!?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhemWo5xCMr
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CeGYiN481
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0h8WLPVDff
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVX07AFt7Y
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDt4i78aD0
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn8vIZf8HR
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HItzy2SC8
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd2lbT3ygi
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu31iXGAmSC
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqWhDtj2J3
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJjd4sfuPI
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmGZN6MfTn
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZesqN1G9u
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU4tBEuWvR
Tabitha: “Please.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMQ9B5HGhJ
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVs1NFd7k0v
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1U6w4voHj
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDNxv1Pkun
Tabitha: “Pie.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem7PYJtrvH
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVqvA7an2
Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF5Yaiyfqh
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPltIQKqXX
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXoZCfxHP6
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTm6GrYy7w2
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sL62sBiPx
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7WcLkaEdE
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’

Dove: ‘Oh right, priorities.’
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dCIGmQNDf

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zTo8ukxqP

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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT7o4AhN9u
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1lG9xIcF7
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxE4zVriHL
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji5xviMDoh
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUjNpgSCnu
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4TZjAqXpj
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS6StvkcRr
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSxpbdBYP2
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI404plUqB
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIJNQX5Ei1
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNquMnxwQA
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iV6nqoWjs
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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5enpDmvVOm
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqX7ADy9l3e
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCatyAkOoCe

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.

463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1kI0FCNwi

This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

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…

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.
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH21u0MCSy
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Lo12IC03
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.”
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9CKOA1Yt7
463Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ449JfQbaQ
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.
