Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFkwn4ApzN
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrStY7HDAu
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFedfiRzQs
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45hSGnocKi
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡss71AJLXsR
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWOPX4rJXL
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjC37F0HQI
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfY8AD3J5B
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xEDrHZWrK
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZAeYiOfBs
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3goW62KgqP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRm0Fph27O
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9dHr0h4hd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHsWdxQ0Q6
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7NBTdZcrh
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGFupLamGO
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4pstWXJbc
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICMR8txjnZ
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTMuJs8tUQ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePaSIVliJ4
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOf4BBp1ZH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir6t1JJy45
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKpJ4S1has
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvHyFulXls
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CC3MQWj9Y
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTHEMZAQE6
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1FvEN8K6G
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIndBOCJR9w
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUq5t8L5pr
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm1tboMmva
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC90dsQx6P
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHODSvUNVb
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBD32ryjCD
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlfh2p2VQw
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ItbMCJLoU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBRhzuJutA
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf99aDanG2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GNLvyuVSo
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEPTc1wWOr
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2COW59Ratv
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug13gJbG1e
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqPzQ70CpH
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MV5wpyvpQ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6PKqLnNKf
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1pgf5jwWR
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVXLq47EL4
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc4cNtEnwF
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboKqxUFcnv
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y5019LaE3
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo7bhlgCuP
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6xpcCt2MC
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxiDaR0d2u
Louise: “Kneel.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtOzxm4XFY
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedRSQX2XMK
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8NvpLOYZe
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk9y7h4g5F
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgnAGTcMf9
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUckS5dTHkY
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMdiATffLe
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WWfQowAft
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9RLn24Wjy
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm22UziRQGP
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0gC3qYD7q
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbXelvqx02
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…
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX81fW2xB0u
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusaEhO82FT
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?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs8KXn63rw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡberGFG8buk
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E2RNMwgBU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSiLEDyQyH
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvXFiRosqm
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMh7jnAoGG
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIKVd8DFTg
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcegD0Z1rV
Flamma: “First kiss?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD53hmUKSKY
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJkeNTzTcI
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpICFwZYlP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP0Xmgvraa3
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4H3IvBvQzV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumxq4IjfIL
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCzwC960KS
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx4ii5ytcN
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrlyjAQRYO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIBXoAu1fT
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6SN6y9MUT
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6xeLeeBlq
Pain.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqEOPz4rjI
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CZCSuhnTm
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH08TyDESqr
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu83p1FcKF
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBlFbDmf3l
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yrbb7sooj
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkMdoLtoSO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaF5Ci8k7X
Louise: “Let me…go.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gdlHgFzcj
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT5UXbcguT
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGr1U1vPnW
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstPKJCG0d3
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoollrBpv58
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pyvw7OsV5
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcH5JX6bRi
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhGMdaL3L6
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwzPXB8OX
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNuqfBR9qV
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVy9TP8ZmG
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIzoBgtE5N
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUhyn8Ee19
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2leAQFPuik
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcVKr3cuG2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMPBiL5G6G
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWgOSJ9WYw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsLTLsPjN8
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6iLvZvhee
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGT1kcbBx
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mfoIiLJnO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb66soYmWg
Flamma smiled before replying.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXOGgrT1VA
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzQQHpbJXF
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAzZqiitBQ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5H439S9i9
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaJmFxtatp
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAABTRV709M
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?
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyfaQVpmPS
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAtHjEXYZ6
“Better we think.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yj3LlxKb4
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEtEMNMFCY
Colbert: “Think?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzIysR5SYw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpMnFgLNC
“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…”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZyYMJ8Rwx
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPj7GVVu5Rs
Colbert: “But what?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLYxkNFS8c
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLOKxor6zc
“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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkUffFd4Or
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oBL6C7M0n
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEG7289MUSV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQCtQiBx6K
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvR7GUvaUI
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnTiJkTB3e
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3qIsBbjYq
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubvbqVXfne
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBaRoBrE28
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP2t4kwgKv
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoGNyisV1M
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfZ3i4sZoi
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0LiskKjP2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52KEHylOYv
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolPuWc25T9
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKmM00ctoY
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97GG9oQY5
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffsw3w4Ldr
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsARvrvcwR
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69tYy2I9bM
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMTYv9UcH9
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDrP7FeIHJ
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX0CPtsvEx
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1TfqjiuiE
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm9Jfrc5xu
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3O9GuowNH
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GjgOmoQ7Q
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3C7yIW9Q
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ479dEhz7mj

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0BnNJx0d0

“Yeah, for now.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbOktj2XlH

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaTVB1P4sQ

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutyc7gL5t9
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaLEZqGXbu
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjanANMpIZm
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85oGUVCduT
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7ncjSlfav
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wsBbBf56T
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lAc6asE0C
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsvStpPJhN
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzD38Smmc3
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwCbhje54r
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAx6uXISR2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFfz78KJ3r
Colbert tried levitation.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkWmbAFRTN
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTVJcgmqFc
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ313uYeYX07
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhJ6J0msL1
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSWLPZQ4W2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVrUQLc3q4
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79HkjY6opP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhZ77onR6p
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYupqf8GOW
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDuE3Js8tx
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYktKWW5oy
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4x7rs2CrQ
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfRORf0ZHs
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXcWUHl3ik
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4C9Qw99Iq
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9UmO8qV2d
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ZNsfl5QZ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUMYCICSKH
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?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX0XFpAtXF
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsMi609DDp
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z2CauVgv0
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOqhKlsgzZ
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cr0oJCBkm
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTE7aMYZTa
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2wdTshEkH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QROsqNRjv
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwWPf4FYsO
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxKqXWHAAK
Colbert: “Understandable.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSdqMUpVvP

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5hePqJpmp

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KDR2uoZ2n

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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0o5z2Qp4
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tld7UGqZc
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOiqQ7JF9H
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cI1JjVtcz
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNSRRIqI0S
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEbVe6j8PP
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvB2eScOkM

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7AECRdOsG
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV4dZoBGXZ
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.

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjEV0BPp8k
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdTmSrhHAe
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ppNAUaUCM
Dove: “Got it.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu4dmmg86d
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1gj38KVCa
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu0KSh01jp
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpH2gfYfj8
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFOL1P6gzY
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxPo1W7Ty
Siesta: “Yes?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY24xuAUtk
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DmOP6tmFC
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSelPVkMYnE
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTYDnOLv14
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?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGXJ2imSvz
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7T8TbtY4G
Dove: “Yes, me.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuI2CthikL
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr7vWh2oxM
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXDVNkUO5m
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnDY6s6VL
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZyqOWoZKn
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNV6sC7nObs
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7MXKU2qpf
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja6NCT84WX
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0hjzVV587
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N7hiBBedL
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSuqp8S67b
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX1dfkfI93
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwMpiJcuQe
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Sir0D299W
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxDRNQvcVD
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBvd5T6x7u
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmS7EbqDxui
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UxMwzeur6
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4H6dZWbRP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlCIUIx1Fg
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlnY9KbcUj
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpI9SN9h9U
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-?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXBiHmOx2H
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIKCUBrBeg
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KQh2lhtAq
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPuHF8D2Wh
Dove: “Got it.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjHa8nqUvB

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPErbCvOy5v
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhNykUp4Vt
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmAPhAPpHV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosYeUSzI5S
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCkWMt59TD
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tVjXZ4lH1
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIMxNWQjl0
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxgSKU8gn6
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeRFsfa6K3
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj48h9FCuy
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4PcmE8ayd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrVDzWW1aG
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVWHhhw5Ey
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3sunSEXiG
Flamma: “Oh really?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcfVkqLb0k
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEXzOea5ZN
She says with a smirk.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzMyJyCaN6
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmEGoIGVpx
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdExpVHmr4K
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzE5LmfzaI
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkp39D1nZq
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2QO66jpGz
Flamma: “I won’t.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg4fm1pW1v
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzL6VOoZixL
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2lOWbHy8z
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaEEiRnOdI
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76Uk8BGNQn
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3miW7PysK
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEqp5FeMHH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclA33kzVDH
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZE8ZuKt2C
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBBdniGiXX
Flamma: “So you say.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzHVGNxQrM
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGnVkk6lnA
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnBbpkPzgd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SRdbBj11Z
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhvkBGbRz0
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7qKGRjnTE
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnyM8kFdt2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgmawoFv2Y
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImAi4SGMr
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLImTYddYV
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbGkMXgGUH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2rjacAgU
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP0CDbPYoU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAt8gYXpaK
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18Jb03QZmR
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FVscfau1N
Dove: “…What?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nWXcHQt5w
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjCWgecYrF
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKzh4ZRJWH
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4EoQE9UhB
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRY0VIZFocg
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQc3vqresL9
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.’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCcEmW8YBl
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1iBNRTUOf
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5V0VwIQEp
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjVAhgWI9y
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eHoTWkeWV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEE8YzvXCE
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd8513h84v
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib40uSiuil
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddjHWZErCB
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyY4zCBzCB8
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jcIWV9lV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBvk055uGO
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFmb5m4tq2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf6lG1CraU
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhGxE5KMeQ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXrMnABtmc
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqGX79kGcN
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRc5sYXfyP
Zander chuckled before answering.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcNwtM1d3W
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ42jbPneJy
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjD3Fuk6Wc
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArFM2EQb5S
Zander frowned before continuing.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDyC4MgJo
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsXYDHEj0n
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU59Z3Ejxq3
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAjyqNjxoN
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOSOkaRNnJ
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqb7KSKkY1
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhImNrmzlU
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ5mugYOYM
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OaOLBzQQY
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKDl02eouy
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLTSi8zIM7
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwRQl5bbE8
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFoiKdVrAs
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCLnSLEEgU
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgxGZGACmw
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQv2zMdZYD
Zander: “…A little.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8N7LubWmY
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRB91bRFSH
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjz2AJZWIv
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPae7kt3jfE
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0jtr2WZYW7
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuBqOn2w7K
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeO8imdM0N
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5pzsdRdrh
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSH7N0NZYYf
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonqLyShuwm
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGy8WeKB3S
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq2KahNGr8
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HTP512xCI
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ATzE6UYxn
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06O8x77l1
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszdDw1ug5p
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYjmMSOTjG
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPqHxHq7bm
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEb5JDVhzT
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaG6fGWA5X
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGliK5tMYD
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOy46mJUqcp
Kirche: “Such as?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHt3yAVSbJN
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwhXAHFxp9
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJz39CCQ5e
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMWnYhWMqX
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88nfkLOTu8
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfqZvYDoym
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6EwAGE7fy
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxNKKGDNFP
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…”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXrgrkYWZz
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYPCToyX76
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cM8oYr0ib
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnogqA5us73
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yTSq80rpt
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpKaeFFpKJ
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTLlQ8yT6m
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwdoUxRiHP
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3EEHh6mte
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fo18YjGTh
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcPnPfSX4y
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V3mdsvFtC
Kirche: “But immortality?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiGNWzNTH3
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrweDm3XPtn
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOiBqyWeRg
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMVWRQLsgJ
Tabitha: “Old.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQX9jSElBC
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7LgQznmGO
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG6qtBefqc
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTYBtTejSL
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvf0Fp6Pnp
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wvw1eQPKW
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0wewm8tU7
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI8CYwbDw1
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj1BMdDQt4
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1tuJYtUw9
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAGsldUWQd
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXJjO0tTFO
Zander: “I look after my-”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOegEEM3Er8

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzgb4YcxWz
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0rE3FRB2K
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xuloos6PB
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuL8GJI5UB2
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PoNQozrEK
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2jdAP3TFn
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfCrKMYo7S
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZ3TDhyo0F
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLolA9GKS9
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCuUlo8p0U
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6P6dZgYnF
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dk7GIJz3F
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWneXaso0O
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwH7HzYsLx
Tabitha: “Please.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi27JGuhP6

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzI8ssbjNa

Tabitha: “Pie.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPynrvjXc9W

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBDHx4MVqk
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS81iW9axFE
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIjbVBSQbM
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UInDxR96
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpb8Rn50mc

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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyt45K3qCR
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡityqhxZZVc
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDtdEmhlrV
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZwaF53vm8
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkKS7M5dLr
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJIvKIfvjp
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchQkbZxqrX
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMskKGlYXK5
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6veU6Yq5OP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKlCu6KMt8
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULAmXR359h
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUvkNnaXAs
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcFCQfwsHM
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ACbWtzvGU
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

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

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

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

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

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

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

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNIYxcqLa2
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLh908rGTw
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.

Montmorency: “Guiche, who is this?”

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45bWKLIxHP
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ435G0wLiVr
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.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ19IAXnfXl

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.

699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgFbqd5T2e
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ4ZL289hf

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiL9LMuiXa
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueoIy9p2Ax
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.”
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwoyXrZ3yn
699Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj0uI66eg7
Before the impact of his words could fully register, Tech glared at Guiche with his enraged neon green eyes. It almost glowed with fury, so much so it actually forced Guiche to take a step back.

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