Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOXntTpcbX
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP09gmZ3Bu9
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdd5j2oBDU
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5qt1xdmh4
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL1EepIzgJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CsW96Bd2c
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNaxerMhNA
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw5WzSmeYK
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJ9iIkwnn
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrtwj41buC
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjvHVJl6ig
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUFE4YjL7D
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSeLqRC6x2
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn9MoM1xli
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsqBHySkyg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8GUdEjtbn
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WeNQg1yDD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzlSkMYQkh
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwLdjGCvI9
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzdoLJup55
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWUrCm8MEO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nPMvIVoSj
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjEEv9Qr3l
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEnSjfOX3h
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDVdT1tgRm
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJQyofcyac
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIs93aE7V2
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIE1aiFf9B
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLht7r5ozK
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMjwKG0OOg
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVbwERn7X1
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wl0gw8WaD
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTAxvjEO7a
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3NnT2m1m3
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbifJKqpX2y
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGMkiEGlKL
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1ynCZY6fP
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyWQlT1I7v
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYJENdpBw6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCNeXh3lVb
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdhtacSHT2
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP8oD0qJct
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4orP4zj3P5
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcPoepFJMD
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBulVDBxf4s
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ885IeZNi
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxx0A4NulKX
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8SqIgaLix
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJEzQCIagB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJORmFteUBI
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgj4SGrAGd
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpYbjV1xu8
Louise: “Kneel.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8uJgdV91E
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwSA91BcE
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn4YzyyaH6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdS8Pxeyt0
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtEs1byTVZ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWOglw7O2N
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5GT6dShPN
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqImU3JSdYT
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2j7PzODy4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4MZyPP9bw
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDueWidp2V
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlUm2ApKdV
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…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xIvmAaydQ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kPKxHiWwG
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?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2augUxYbod
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05DzUO4Flf
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXzN9Pg1E5
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNWMRZ86uL
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfNJjkpCaN
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgpWiQWmUb
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVdn4ewuK0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB2n6XVuuz
Flamma: “First kiss?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8n57FexHI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKqO9cl9jE
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85lrAr4m5D
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XRADpQf5x
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqLYMcu4Lg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWRpUUqrn
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4DYrY3vRh
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqZD7ZFYeB
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbz3qIPQty
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEANN2BoODc
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUykpsFvuL
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9guXUPeU
Pain.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvxPZ8GSWa
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWc5AYVO1S
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCkWXda0vE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRnE0CE4cj
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo72wpaCZvb
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhT7NWCNhhp
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZBnra3ZL0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaT8fHNAjN4
Louise: “Let me…go.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNgB54DqPx
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94Ulng15El
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07A0VYS2Jp
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHo8SFgu5x
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1cjChgsiy
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSh3Fjyfdn
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx2ElHXLqt
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSIjU4p7G2
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGMw8kdpnB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvmQKjrkcc
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXI4FHy0sL
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRhvVG3YWM
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkVEjsyGq6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS6GWhvj41
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5SZ8g235
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oWqRXMGsz
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK1n272dWI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMpx8fUtLk
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BA5wCiOUw
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QFb4K0MTl
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSm5eWs6Bf
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOVtwo8c0S
Flamma smiled before replying.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4wHbFJKRV
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NT96IA0uM
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3wCZrQGaY
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WNugolehB
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKk8ytq65l
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZXUdbcnNb
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?
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5NNLwp9sZ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNFmQ9lHdj
“Better we think.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UqNQWUP8F
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuNAnPIoHv
Colbert: “Think?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu9M5FSVpp
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YYFgG8CAI
“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…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyMac0ev9q
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1mMT7s6Hw
Colbert: “But what?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwvNj5DlKb
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWwwzYMcHr
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAw5e2nVHS
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRKkwLwOLo
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx2ZsLvYt6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV5NNO61N9
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7covRsT08
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOxTO0LNBd
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyHH5YQ7cd
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobmt9TLioV
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXmMM4WAut
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbTxWHsYQW
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc5hzrxhtO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFquyqORTUn
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3om1Uck43b
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO0zKbBYtx
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIc3LXLESB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2LUL1erQz
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfED241xTgU
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjDnxvqR0L
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOiAK7YY9x
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZhitRZEQj
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAh9YdOHuL
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxD9C1Vv3a
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BwUtBGCtT
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiG7hb7fm9
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkAdG9dOTf
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGYHnc5BIl
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwMzvlR8Ie
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoNP9p3uzk
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4khnUQ5Sk6
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9psvS9oqZ
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy7RqlkF0O
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJz1jC7kGDy
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkHqsv7gau
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtHxz0zS0V
“Yeah, for now.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4dLcmWtAN
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmishxjzrCL
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ctdijsKwI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66sKPLfIij
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhknhaQXlCJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OPQ5VFXZv
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmBRQpsrn5
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinvYecEzPd
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSBnya8oXP
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8QWyvVxZ
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJTokWDnq8
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDsJkEipb9
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8RrXyYwo9
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6r1irPj0F
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIwwBwv5PP
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRPPmZ3dfN
Colbert tried levitation.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt8zDYijoO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCLdsMRMU3
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyloXh0oYZ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADHF88Ddi4
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbl1rrLyaC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEHU4crAvg
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXrBxlc8RU
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBURLIVYGxK
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡys9aRJGmDv
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfodNGoaZPU
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQluIjUon74
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexet46dYqO
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibrFQzxnuc
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5t5AxdR7U
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCFFcLHB3k
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VJRdvxeNp
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEtL9yNjw7
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiXCrGZVv6
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?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhahgDKeD4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LRMrlmCLA
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0WRO5GMF9
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bf1IyDOCt
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJWRhosJrm
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo6LcGSXIh
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3w9l8DKpJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOXoO38TgQ
Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16k3Miscem
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDd3rmDUou5

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4925B7tOZ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgH6juAXnm7
Colbert: “You know I could ask Bench to help you. You seem to come from a world like his.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySVTvYldo
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bajXuigcU
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8OBCQosWW
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXEZ69NuuE
Colbert: “Understandable.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgVXbPmvKX
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0pFuvuVVK
Tech: “Now, give me space while I work. Shouldn’t take me long.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2j9bMnmyM
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sVoMQUPfu
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSrRjakwwD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6avQD7d0K
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVR1B7t7aS
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTAQy8myFT
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnM8X1MwrH
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yCXTmErXn
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ2PUkzUDM
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0IePpNCyh
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjIkx6kmPR
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjE27XMZBvw
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7etS4JHla

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDUXTyXzK4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3q5Jvv56fX
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm26a65lp0C

Dovahkiin: “Um…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3PnRfuAIy

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MOWH5oNQi

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wl3DHAs3t

Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzvw8sUjAv
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6onEuCcLd
Dove: “Got it.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26sFlHWLG0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjKPwUmxdS
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LGMVpbEOw
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfjROd6v10
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JWKb4OyTV
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTisLYFzk7
Siesta: “Yes?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8dW7C14ES
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9Ou0k685w
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqpfgRBJtY
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bw32izbf2
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?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHksc5Xm7J
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0EM7NFFri
Dove: “Yes, me.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYdwFrCmO0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21kguXnSXQ
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAmY8RxAbP
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF4YYT8u4i
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcBYAlRdAd
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNY2ViEhtm
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDafM60kNkB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDrHb6xjrA
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpZObq2HYD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4FCnMg0HO
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgfVZl94SF
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsAwH0fE45
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI8paNgDH7
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtEziDneto
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDfk050dfy
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOJFM5u3D
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKqmkk0z34
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlpaNhDMD4
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo5hbJY2b4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVgNhdPYWI
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbpPQUeJuC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssW9rS9TK3
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-?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEoR3AfBAa
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcTWeJk7x
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kZ5xFWaZS

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBog23jXxu
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FogwvR9T2
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ558rmKtcfC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRag0ZhIo2
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIcuM6MYVA
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmoB82UT9n
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVD8l01Doya
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sH4HQXvtW
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2UUaYZiUh

Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6jOdUbKgh

Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”

Flamma: “Oh really?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7gCEyaYLt

She says with a smirk.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qpuCrJJdm

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBpqQRSs4R

Flamma: “I won’t.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwTs9Rse6R
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrktQ9SbHdK
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PRCrlszwV
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgVpf3uoJW
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuD68szCuZB
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjNLZrvlXQ
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4KAjDERk3
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDH765q2k5
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHHOxARlU4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUOl05nMvg
Flamma: “So you say.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRAE2FLPsg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3EHPDOUqv
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCqj4kDK1O
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam4Ue53dym
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r8i7AF9jK
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwPX14Pjm9

Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4fB3oIAE4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadhqnGyrzT
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ttmzqsuzE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lNNh2lgf3
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwr9puixs9A

Dove: “…What?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dukCdap39
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGs31sDleV
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKryQ5pQjx
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogX1CY8j7X
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNhFTkv45N
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkArXEiydY
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.’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab0cptDtKO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScdIjLUZYX
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7aJotGqw
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNCwC02Opt
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa1yBPjwoy

Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjoGg99MJb
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ58swuxdfY
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rg6MqeNBs
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMeQhU3DCB
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fwmR24C12
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwGnyjbg37
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80A5yYWyim
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWwcSgo2RQ
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7PedRWWbl
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlERdYwDoGd
Zander chuckled before answering.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAvU1lqj3l
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInmigxBjIS
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kIYpXztJx
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlRCS5DuwM
Zander frowned before continuing.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXg1y2ZTxr
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fbpjvQSG9
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhja8fpma9
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ffbG5Sf0l
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtp4LYXLmQ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndjIClGrQa
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8UpKkc048
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOouk1IZLMR
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvmHXONks8
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivoK60o4IF
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3nh9VDtSJ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMSQDZHTiz
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5wgeKMla4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqQ6a4ghy0
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0WkLrmfo
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWNohc22R5
Zander: “…A little.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixuL0ynC25
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkDpAnj56U
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72CwxYs8m4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0oyLMXma0
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLMY532J3A
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa0ZXsqaSW
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKtZO2u6bV
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUyJCmKAJm
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5LxztHj8G
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0OsLuQI5e
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJ0j37Dusi
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iIdKDobyz
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdK0ojt35E7
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREpN4dPKbY
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QcvaEtVqW
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjs4QGh24
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VxxCKTjBK
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwn9BHGTuV
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0FgGi58S7
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEYI75hdCi
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xr3uVcDnp
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvEfdFimiO
Kirche: “Such as?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWFnsf1dQV
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveP6Ul6D0m
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYPK1r2pxu
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrEpyvfLaL
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s4oOWyHKm
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoCEpVe31J
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHjo0AaklF
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamSrMrxJt
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…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRUMiT7Tkv
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUge4pMYc6
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaOEJXcoqI
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu6OlXzmkw
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZw6OwuM8s
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L9Zz7T4f2
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnksF03flcD
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOctUCCrzt
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELqekfvsMZ
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gwnkvhacp
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL76voKbE9I
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bvj9iigVC
Kirche: “But immortality?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqglq6xp75
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3xpYNW2ON
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlwJKwoc9B
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltCaiHyphc
Tabitha: “Old.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfis5olxTEO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNMOTuDkaT
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApTwCJSHIe
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiYLrlK7ad
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i5z7j4K40
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQMPi3JtEZ
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcdSqtbIjf
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQw78EjR3c
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQThvBh8aC
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuBlPA0wr0
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwdoHdJ5eh

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VOlOXuoe4
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ000GK43N2m
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmsprSsev0
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9bccliCDy
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuX2elCDjf
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdVUHCOzfB
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRZrI2s2Y3
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9cMq2FXbN
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED0J332nsk
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXwDipJN67
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdMg5QQEP9
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0T4dZm0NvE
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpELoqRYNTo
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjEDELiFbb
Tabitha: “Please.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU7GdQ658w

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5in0UB85O

Tabitha: “Pie.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsA7e6QYhE

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3KCIddfNg
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdHSVlfSha
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSgE1ytT1j
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNw5nuHO1J
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.

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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhrpLSWqef
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2kc3zsXbB
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGHsJf1iDE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKhKmWE8en
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbleFaZ6dO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6fhA5ihOG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L6vwRZi8w
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3KcylSHi1
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeazvvERUw
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGmgVawSRl
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGO8fmv1AO
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4mWY6Qn3i
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJc8FXQVKxN
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAcYYu57Yd
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.

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmba17QldXW
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ho0QP4nGN
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.

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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8chv1IodM

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…

Siesta goes to help him but Guiche made another gambit to save his image.

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.

Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAw5MMopth
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblStN3nKjx
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWxFwglujx
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6VBqDWini
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.

442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlADmuyDmn

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