Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreGEUCYGug
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmJMUMxoCE
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4VbN0NCL6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnFZ48bTn
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk861AAUJZd
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2J3h3gBmk
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEReh474y5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuUQo3Uvqw
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSa3XdsbcH
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXaMluIMAi
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjtTgYlimM
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgbQkO8yA9
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFYcQTvlSH
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAib6dqdW0X
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8gpuTdEJw
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo489C9mQz
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeNZKtKkxa
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGETLOA0AR
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbFVc6pqBt
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRxtwtizIU
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscwIRqPAKh
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELxCHH2dq8
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIhCcYtc0V
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfAxO3KsQQ
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ESk7FGGrG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn3PtNAlVR
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyt3ou7n9i
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoaeCjb1vj
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BPHzuhRut
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd35MrFH2s
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMgMlrynQo
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkgMjhHjOj
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bk0K78Wir
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJMV023FYX
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTRomiBOVz
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4WybRohEu
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhZFhSdwA2
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhVFtL0TIi
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGUX6u1rIs
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWGvODLgZT
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCvPftH16j
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUyUdOKcli
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjhV2wDs0F
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZk2pFVQy6
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJk0EnNqLF
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuUBQYFkhi
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1ZX4f6ukA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpXNkiz7IU
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTlZIzHdY6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhb5mpndyS
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdTCFYC92a
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9sZuwaqr7
Louise: “Kneel.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZriiUo731
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvu8Jw7L8j
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtGapm5BM5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr3Q9RPUs1
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqraHelWzX5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRugYWhHNX
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDuEuw8Spw
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6NN2T4uRo
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk5Gw2qL4w
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilKRf8VxdD
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEYDwHPEBa
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbv1nQm3eA
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…
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjC0KrNVqnX
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfx6Dvp0OC
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?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAE350lQ80
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFgyw6Or0Y
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNjEpg3Pk
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pjbkd0iMu
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk612jZfWI
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LAjc0D8yL
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtfTYM1pDu
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxirWCPTN
Flamma: “First kiss?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDuB9pu2Uu
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpk2swt6s9
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeUqV4pYP5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP9Kv8TMsS
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypT23xjy6o
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEfHKPwtDF
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIWUmeV0tA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Dc0UH4t5
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxstieZt7LL
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8r1zRMF1f
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAL9osL5Ar
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQjk4zlF3P
Pain.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRFUUo5b23
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5R0haTLJLU
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVLhPiVd6e
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzu3Yecsgg
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzmkPcYkIe
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGA4mGZqq6
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOI1fJjLarh
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoMw50YKqj
Louise: “Let me…go.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdv1pOgn9k
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRUBhZjHRq
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwp0MIOhlt
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOE0XN7TmJ
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm9FSBsoi9
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19siLP1Zkj
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkJylWzPqH
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajODiQ3Vzu
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPIe6bcn2B
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidE2l60Ctj
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIoGg7alcx
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN6NM17cCB
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E57xXKTO5
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhNdws7QZP
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoH91xMYxZ6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxpuB0zz8u
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjK37lAb7
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYHIv8ErBC
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvuS5o3FKA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcrZW1ZUhU
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb1yMBG9EJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39C6yZ0lsw
Flamma smiled before replying.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALIOC8YNNx
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk1xWirDT1
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec0ENSivfV
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL8do1Zx6J
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvCOOP88qz
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzltyDP282H
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?
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYkz2rTJHE
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRXVS9hXl4
“Better we think.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFefUd5Ko2B
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXtvKwTAU
Colbert: “Think?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kDlXXRd0d
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfIO9bWtxB
“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…”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7IvGuDcBR
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnmHX6I1Lv
Colbert: “But what?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF34NwMUin
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WJD7Tr8XB
“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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K1he3thdU
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNRGUskGYP
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLj2GZTTzK
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVCqZRjHgj
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YYRQ3VNMZ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkbQxSo1qD
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8jQn4saiR
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnT9VyJVYK
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCB0gWE1GD
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6Ky5XsjL
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjliN25kn87
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxxvIyaDHw
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6YLKSRJaq
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4QrJU5BKh
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN8iCYWUxY
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN05IUGacNm
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKbBffKH54
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSSCZQsCik
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NvTOkmSFo
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1fTYoLaq
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZBBgi6ROr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlrxZSVRa4
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NKMtZhEMV
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu7u0y4RMN
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQA1Hu0Ghh0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1bWSXxUkk
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvA2C4KfH
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklBX2x0DdT
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvFfa3IkYU

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYaWZhZszw

“Yeah, for now.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqLXLA76kX

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01G7UHzLFg

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxDSDmiat7
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoGWJrISPL
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7J1hL1uW0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBH1mzM8x0
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KIYzvOGI3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVx18bcozk
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3jgtFn2by
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLp2hYJa3bS
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODM8d6C0lh
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIquFojwKS
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUKGHwUdFT
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1S2GBKynfy
Colbert tried levitation.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2AKRG5Smu3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI1rWM3Z2K
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswIs1ZnVmU
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk03oxOK7YK
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gsyW5V2y1
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GDvodS0Mm
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoofXmngXh
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbI7s2YA0f
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVaHJN7l68
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeKM8V7M3F
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1U3iZ6heP
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsHUSWH56w
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuillt272Ze
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCmHoa9SLz
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUTyK1MZ7L
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5KZYVg0L
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBCcvRyxNB
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCBpQOMoMj
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?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsCG6iTTG9
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqfhlR5jk
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yeeGLuDyj
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1a8GI48oJ
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGexLzgKeFi
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VrmlLN7ob
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn9gNt6J7b

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuSzh3zyak
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLvvabe3oT
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v0uRJhFo1
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjJUlzPTwD
Colbert: “Understandable.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLnTQlbf77

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J5VjHrQqG

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyxmILMY8j
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCUgAkBw6K
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPmRBFb3cf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaRfN7oOxQ
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooc2x451rE
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylLjCFv7W7
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUi7l2AKMLm

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jRvlhCKMH

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqPhP2DM97
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZLy1gaPaw
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.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3OErSnk64
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx5KMBki0q
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSephIKLTu
Dove: “Got it.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh66zqTlaI
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynBDaBJTLe
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTZDHsLVVy
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsWyMEunS6
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZtA7s2Sux
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCLFqqUxgL
Siesta: “Yes?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGoU1StLf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjwdCuX30P
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedCW2W0ydZ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMw9pgek6t
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?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgshJChOKf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0cZo966Xv
Dove: “Yes, me.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCtwaSB4rC
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCIkYFitUb
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmBjr2FRnK
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULRLtRsSBT
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFuWeNHeBg
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQXtEaIn97
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0OBMFEhH
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsDw9QfuX5
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvO63tXlij
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZw6UcW2O2
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7hKpAAmQ2
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJc3Qy7AaX
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6oa1RwXfw
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3oY5TjSku
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldvLDiCl3o
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2ZR7RG1nX
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIkg5lEXT0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7TPSCba7J
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0DrGcHgtC
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2fqFIlBoY
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAplVMETj7b
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxpKb2IG0y
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-?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNzmxZDK1Q
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNDyve5bGb
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhyIna7ijQ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4TkByme7d
Dove: “Got it.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlMwurYv1r

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBbitfbDRF
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCIxtuBK63
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWmqaNmlmn
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rl2X6EAlv
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqzWAkNif7
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8in4i85oF
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjP8vwAj9r
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8nmWwBa2J
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQa5y5vhaI
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNt0pbP4FV
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtrFIWCXFm
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2BldkGRBD
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJnBaEhkQ9
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZldQopdus
Flamma: “Oh really?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMptPsQuSQ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqulDiHjZo7
She says with a smirk.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FCcl4sxlv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMWWMKSAa
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhl5WK1qh5o
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq74oH8FpcD
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKV68YtQQn
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7oqGxkMfH
Flamma: “I won’t.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPvDyllG9d
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu2fFlQ4pN
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi7Xm9WcGJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWft6dBvzC0
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38PQygCxVA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsLFd1dD0h
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKVXx2ZgiZ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYk7zV3sr0
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8UhReayl2
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsl1jbv27kD
Flamma: “So you say.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPsdPhNVo2
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopJTeQS4at
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCDKlMwsqA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRfUWerbOx
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMWTfq7GXA
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSz0zfX8F2
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpElqfB9H0M
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe74wx34fvs
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5NpLD2vXx
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOnmQuMlfI
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWW2Qhx4QO
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhCdWzz23Y
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2u8lVGekb
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsTB766zgi
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSsFIdidGf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3hZrwp1CA
Dove: “…What?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ2ke5NMzx
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyK5mrF8uYH
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtykvDJqBe
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut1Ep9Tufz
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9H2RRWwRSy
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3JeL4URgq
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.’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzigPJLgHfG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZgRcvgwvO
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ096hJUCHQG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKKaXaF21T
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIcJDHbvvV
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZtkwNV3hg
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDoYg0UtJc
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6N2cRH6kR
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kZfpqft9B
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvltEfNQhO2
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4lpZCu6Ib
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RshifgSO7
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItITLFiXCO
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGeilguMrC
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9v2XwpxDT
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD7h8s4gSX
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS9bBXImn4
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1iAtoKQSA
Zander chuckled before answering.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHsgO5S8bG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeGQPZbB3B
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbJtJOrnlf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv9MC4OSWT
Zander frowned before continuing.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2r8NT52iG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WQ5xrxYou
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyQ68nEgIN
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJxFBpIhK9
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXg8ejqpQP4
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhgD0svBq3
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBzpCXtGMi
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpxK5GmnUM
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaQrMaDcpN
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkAFYJTjzU
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjr4sbh2Jwr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD1P8kR5ed
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhaz5ZRbWF
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcuOiTohRU
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvooM5c8rHt
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYJvwTNEsY
Zander: “…A little.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2xW6Tx79I
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtbCXTcTw6
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaBGaSSeG3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm87i0yG88
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1TNumstQr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHDsGRhI5c
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLVfDOxySP
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HapI6pkf1
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjzb11Uexi
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIE8IcrqWq
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAawRbjNWC
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhSu3cyTqz
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2fKUackJU
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfmkhlVO2Q
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrjursFmoT
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumYp0gUA68
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbIZC4e9T0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUHkBAg7fG
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIULjxliqb6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqrEbIBoPC
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgHPykXcsv
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5tVkcuNle
Kirche: “Such as?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuieBtqTe9
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCpaLRb5Zh
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38BNbs00Kq
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurGVjc19RQ
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUTj1Jk6GY
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUanllHY7cF
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUU245viLJ
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhAuf2s7hU
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…”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWqpxzIZgP
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn3ENNbaLm
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIh9bVp85M
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZVY7BjEpY
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kUOGBF7a3
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBehUKZYeH
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY5ETFvlqG
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0ZVKpVLg9
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQf0hByiQQi
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfeUMil21R
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtoyX0DNrf
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hMKiE1O4
Kirche: “But immortality?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxEjL3GBit
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFTGVEjbXw
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoHoGxcb3g
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMW4ilJnhS
Tabitha: “Old.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmzmWRERF0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cir8uLWWV
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5aAM636Ty
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fCy7Z0cGu
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCy5VTtTVr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmdekAThrJ
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeF96OwD45
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZH2KzsHOM3
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzjXHUHHw8
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLFZAm45Fr
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOEUyZvr9k
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvCCQdXKos
Zander: “I look after my-”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygeTIoWBMR

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLIm5zf3aX
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaY0NSdfeO
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQStHoWGhI
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRqPronmRb
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq12XZSmq39
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2KEitlIXs
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnkrJK8YbL
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMzXpc8p6z
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPywXG7xmb
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu3qvP4z6y
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkNYcqTuwa
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrurKT0rLhx
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYMAQHbBq
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmCV6pskOB
Tabitha: “Please.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqiZiu7w0K
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyi8s5Dt8M
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhuvq8b7QN
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1JonowbPt
Tabitha: “Pie.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbE8XS1murU

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ27acN5wM1
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE8iUTxisj
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtkfHVKLTX
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25jTNfMwH
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMhY1ZVlz7

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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zaje1lGJ1
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hf2NQaMFd
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSjStw8DUL
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjN8rLjKML
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8k7d8LUL0
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnaGUw5bn9
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvXsAFjPUu
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g5AZtKBik
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJwAbMub59
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3Vh5TRL1
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXotFQiqwOR
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wxhYhiKOo
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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBCZjr9AYr
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNE2GP7cHv
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXvEVZ83O

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Now that I look at it, yeah, isn’t that what she uses every time she walks into class?”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdl2hPwud38
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzx9eIV975
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.

Flamma: “He said no or are you hard of hearing?”

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.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBuBSWLJw8

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

There was silence for a time. Guiche smirked while Siesta’s eyes widened in fear and worry for her new friends. But the three didn’t seem scared, in fact…

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

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

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCa5dQAfI6
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFF2b0A4JA
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.”
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU4Tskqqjs
485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKy99e7e2u
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.

485Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhdZ2eCp27

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

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