Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx1dEToHiC
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vcBZY5y8l
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUDIcp94kO

Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHOmRJ6hu1

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡugdNsPVTPv
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9XDmKQ1aI
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQXpFvI4p

Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CD1QiwmKV

Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelIvdECqxf
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QyGgpS6cu
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGSrHpu43f
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEjJTl7Vdt
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73H298gyMM
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOlPJ3pPe
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.

Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQZBSyK7IL
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhCe4sgKyW
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBf1gRpvZCk
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpvdtNgSgB
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMUozg7FQD

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nnSj6Vdpw
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkLY1sSc3W

As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3qxj4itAq
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPSJn6OCXj
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1OEgXaAg
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T0t8p1dZd
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.

Jake: ‘If she won’t help me, why should I?’

Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW56Z21lhpE

Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAiByIBivS

Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”

Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOWveOSskP
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W5KN6v9Sr
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Fcp1fQgf9
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52S6LAdJoV
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

But instead of the dark star, the sun instead appeared before her.

She whispers into Flamma’s ear.

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyAD98XCeo
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjbE2pCrP2
Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”

Raskreia: “Buy me dinner first and maybe I’ll think about it.”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WBjVzOWhz

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDsK5SAs65

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkUhzyGB8u
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wAT5E2Dbn
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh0T77emt8
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4KKLDMReb
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.

Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCpjjc9qxx
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2JuLTRHBG
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
