Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIMeQqbkFG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecvhpvjU7Z
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfr6nAThpB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYSU0xvwWj
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWFzbPCli
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CnkNehVj
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALK3NveYm5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q2JOsbXtb
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbsuG267dK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqc7syOy58f
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWL0gu86cK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9v5THhzFAS
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmrXPMtgdS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnHJfo08fW
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJwBLTP2cW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ydqywh19S
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rby7uVADM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEswVQcayj0
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOip7rWjj4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwI74uPSDnf
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaIrR9xoDW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraLxZtg51e
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX12GJMcYHN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBcXpnRION
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jpWgG6AW8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVKorcvJa
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MdhIoft89
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQs1bs8Vy9
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTfhXZTqnV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT12YDuLY1I
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdIFxTqMJp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJMMIQ5At1
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs45Gms7K7J
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrJqsR5Y6R
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUjK9Bx75c
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQJN2OQ3uA
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnuI9WWOhG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ748qR5W25u
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQvwv8ECbA
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JMpNP1J1b
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebrYXUGxjM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ362UEyYEQK
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApX8p7MGu3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkB10CRjX7
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwboqFWQsi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5oiO7NOks
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBIJJdtViW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhCPhxle8n
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSty6AFVsNE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURfNm2DyEl
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5doiNMUBVR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyhbdG82ax
Louise: “Kneel.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAhxQk8BxW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5Aw4jpQwd
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8P30nriFW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQYuhKW02C
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaSpfWOUPm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbuB4iSCfb
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObvuYWbmL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptoZqIigDO
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBJwKo2oYm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBqec9F2L
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVIvNuQb9K
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIqJUbpI3m
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…
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1kIFhAo48
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazT5aJMf1L
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?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e1WMdlwis
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0JvuiR7cw
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15I93CNYY4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fgzw5nYtD
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdgofZcyiv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszohg7G4Cd
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7AsJjMsTj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYCevBhWoJ
Flamma: “First kiss?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcKDSeQfnm
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ziJcqdO6h
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PRckXSnhe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubLUMlNm1h
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPO0icjT5D
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD5psL1h9Z
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv2JSm7YkY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97fE7qJIzB
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNPBJ92zcc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNvfbrsD5Q
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsofysF5zK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLHuxCJ1vW
Pain.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jjS0jpTh4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v9qWZ22aW
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOof45GK8Gw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYc2hrret1
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvVF4LUW1z
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYBUkafVVr
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡty5mskjkmL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMfj9zXxjr
Louise: “Let me…go.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiA0P52OTrw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWFCQW1jNH
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChHKgVP8z
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VXrQCBq58
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHds4NIiyq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaRr1g0Nc3
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VdEQkXfRS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWn8t1a1j0
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfCh4sk3e2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCbhuaXLTq
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6pa1uxKkR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLslud3kPZ
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOmmg3xCRV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZapoROokp
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8QvkSwHfI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZGEIyYkrz
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LO7XKWAU2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVAskAxiDj
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSsKFUteSY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LZCO1Kl4Q
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2d0rrLkmY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYJAoRcYZX
Flamma smiled before replying.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hDNeW1C8T
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHBUh3L1tq
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgdeYrMDCr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEY3WsKsnR
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AwPysoLrv
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrJvYoRURk
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?
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ltoJFNMs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMvptVKWan
“Better we think.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EsVvD2wzF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81b45LYdwQ
Colbert: “Think?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFe0uiHH2Z
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVWYarLSZQ
“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…”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDm4m4L1m6
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PeESffFbh
Colbert: “But what?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy9vAIxnRV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9HeTBSAXU
“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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJhlJXSzKl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8G8NHsIawV
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBNjzAylvU
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn11RBqOuGz
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwNojLARi2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiG0KBEvJO
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOXaYEPBAe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhazze7rTD
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmarUIGpcH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWkOAb5pNH
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEe7lY5iDD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hQuHtImU8
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6NZPZZnE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMjKyyHSyJ
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqiQ7lJPNb
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwXWhiuQNJ
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwOYcTb3fL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTpque7Z9A
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4GB1uHxO2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkRFSMUY8l
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo35GRiH8nZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQiQo84amA
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUkcOCW2vD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTCv5BNxH9
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ahCvz6WsI
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACKNUeOMTC
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkHYqaFbFi
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdXiGiU4mu
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcgmGjOksD

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMczmkSqqO

“Yeah, for now.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgw91Ky1nLS

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi1BhaPoJr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRldXHOlctV
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ucTWagrNa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVuiS1fXtl
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EzuPl13Ra
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj86tW0PMl
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAMBTGuPnP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ597OH8qR5i
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrsIw1ebc6
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebkMmutp3n
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi9EOiZ304
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XBeXQsWVG
Colbert tried levitation.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bNFQRqaZH
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3f2gV1ykt
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnaW5Ih3Oh
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIGgmlpLMt
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOKMiJMbwc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uXlROyvRi
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaTVl90yoO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKt0AdWyjv
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuPXkle2lN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen2Sr5Uvv7
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpAt8gxEIR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dNxuzGM5A
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eBiZR2Cul
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAI3yJEhxp
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn62PpZ38Yk
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9FItu2Vls
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccV97PHn4A
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWf19DEMu1
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?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P3UEPTj57
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbqaUDMZLc
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKDt7akgiR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Vc0h06kZJ
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCOHlfJlw4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CyxHM322e
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVkW4IT6im

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJnQsghwga
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xpLO77UDM
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9LaxCHSY2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzGc6W7LYz
Colbert: “Understandable.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42L4uTTVoa

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmTs4I7q9E

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqDBXIdJLL

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyDv8acrbg
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnLqgXIhkN
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBIWcU4dZD
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKTfwRC2qy
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48pjDYff25
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRYcWKLDmt
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwEJ2Yo2y4

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc3BBizUmy
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.

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyla2sGhcSR
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemTtWmT8AB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOpdmHqpxF
Dove: “Got it.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyOpIEmDK5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sYZNbDyd3
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mr24KTj1g
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LBgacH7JA
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LJgi6TsoK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17sZEXXKWt
Siesta: “Yes?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIOARLmgpK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHcgzDBB8u
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMKXN0mhhC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wRVCm599N
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?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3WCBngaIg
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAM53k7UAi
Dove: “Yes, me.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBXt5Bc7p
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8duzw8wXS
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoqoBX00n8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL2w4D1DpQ
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQKnQhqDLp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyqa7xsxxD
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1ieNWfl0B
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkmq0H2PWV
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBtc251PQY
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LemjKZznN
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7QKdQ9GSK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRytmuPvNM
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0z8bBLzv3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jGTqf5kvx
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxFydNXWb1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW547REq9QT
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku4eox1O3f
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH3Rrn2vMw
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQI10d40R4
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrkNgBTbog
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYnHaFmfxp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvFDX4lxKD
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-?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhauAVPy2p
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6VO7MX4t6
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1wzFg9U15
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkkuLuV8qV
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SfqiEsHDP
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyUyCPpMhQ
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAXNavUrqQ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cDKRBOStj
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFBAcgkSIs
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEB65c5mrtj
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUyZNpaVv5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfJFZZN5wG
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRVh7GbhpQ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYY9ml3s9U
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRQkwm0JeO
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3JN1y9SiV
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLedhS32N3

Flamma: “Oh really?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21N0doQano
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW9j33cpPE
She says with a smirk.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrSsfGyZqe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzsoz2UG8
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb8zT54wZL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIwKQsFlsY
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d723x2zOZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab3tHXdZDE
Flamma: “I won’t.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTJyo0HQjE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPv4ZpAta73
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHL0FBvBiE
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6KQowtnK6
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sEpYJPu6J
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPNWGNTAoD
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2wlTMGcLq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYObrrTdwa
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU2YS91BZG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgvFe8687E
Flamma: “So you say.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrX5DVDBcN
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLfAhKctpW
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQliCfG7fNq
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBHY8GjTM7
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWFljXVwtg
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw61DPPqWeV
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QpECJOMHC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNANOXqASTN
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9HmvKkM9R
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVavypmqSO
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGEBPAy4zJ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZS9dFGpBM
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCzdqHg4Kt
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGt0PCza9A
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwpBJ7Uppr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhED2smsX3H
Dove: “…What?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokrF3RdAPW
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncAA46JkGt
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IkapOap7X
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn8WUejhdF
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aaspQlTpu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LWWYdLwd1
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.’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtrADsXCcZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHL8QamfQO
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl3PcXEpZ2
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C0wEZJ0j3
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguyNAbZ6z1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvu4xkw3C0J
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiVPXtgic1
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbNgbl01Am
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4Z264qEep
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53E5aWCwTN
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXWNmzYBwG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZGVdnOAdZ
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oWCQ1BaTB
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ybGyUSeR
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XhsIVREbe
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76WcRjIXIt
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZR7aJ6S1Pc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrHMjZJIZd
Zander chuckled before answering.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEMukfnFzc
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47d39grz2Z
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLDJP6kRuR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJpefTmmxJ
Zander frowned before continuing.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNsK3Sd0On
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTVcn3Xq22
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2JewNEgSl
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwyREwLV2p
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oDZmn4gpj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuK07tIdVV
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJprEKdGgw
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurc8bhWBsb
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9xfsyXFoj
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuj1Ljx2pP
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOR0bRtH3x
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgGySv8PXo
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOtkzZ4Wji
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa4FZEfPfS
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpBwvlJ94q
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqhSaULSzp
Zander: “…A little.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrdi1a4gC7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcrQrsezoc
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBoQhWJuSV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKZ8gvtl9x
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ydh7K3Yiu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO0g3bGdox
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XNTPBbna3
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyCssmMHkW
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT1cNkeYVf
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1qmuuf7vC
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXFhrzpxIS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIKQI14dya
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTbdHwYs6u
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvK10fNJ2
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZwZTA4Sa0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvN6rmNNd3
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9Rnz1EFwT
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJoAbTJqAc
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl1Tc9HdGx
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBQyFpYRsw
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpot4X1DY8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpX5cZwo0o
Kirche: “Such as?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03z0XY34x
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JpcVaTNkT
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHXQW0o5VG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8VyoCJErF
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8TYnEmW3Q
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOz8jpUBA
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7dDIswH0V
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunMM8MBt7U
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…”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHMSBx51Is
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HvE7govn5
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9AB6HLJV6
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKPdoqgZze
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5gHyioGOp
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3paZHGWQ6
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWSCV0csOn
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A8fGmbAmQ
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6XZFbGUSR
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXH7aT5CtK
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeACxpiEUiC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnEVIgEqVK
Kirche: “But immortality?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDYW0NY9OM
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu57YGdyiC
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gy0E4veIa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0zBGjDuAp
Tabitha: “Old.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXjfFnPkSu
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP3CjDY3lI
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjy6b9FDls
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6srgkRu00D
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFPj7suDBr
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3UeWw13kc
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeQVyO9g8k
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vKsEFapDQ
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWimWJAeL
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHOZEuhGWL
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp8xVvq6TG
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvug9lIpajN
Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBNbaGUWBS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp3V8fkbfv
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvO3HkAmbF
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1uuKf9Csd
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXCwzTjhQa
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPo782eDtX
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEcNPLBWkZ
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURJwOvVW8a
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgu5cX8dMz8
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIv4UUyJ8b
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMdE0lUC5J
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bDjs1Rtm2
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiZFnPkjqV
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE97YGEbof
Tabitha: “Please.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7fjFHd1L5

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxxsJjjvqi

Tabitha: “Pie.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RxhvDCzaN

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfotzGEpQX7
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡies4Rddoht
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41zMvrLNzC
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxh7T9mk11
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdLrvkTyMs

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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzj7m1LNH6u
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBpylHFTHO
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJ9CG09LZ5
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTEcOVkNOW
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptnvPbqoob
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjrMuGZBBT
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs767YsHPt
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03G4LpSwhi
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfXfdyXmia
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx2fcC9h06
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3EdBhTZeS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYJJhR4hdD
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xjni17LrS
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwzdbUF83v
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?”

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GCsKBhjH0
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73DsppODZs
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?”

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BK76fCuiK
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvz99xRvQ9
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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BABdAefar

Guiche: “Y-You commoners! How dare you speak such foul slander against me!? You all deserve to be taught some manners.”

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…

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.
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxqtpNwUHy
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapiwflM6TS
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.”
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pCgvu0lha
389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBToddEuDzR
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.

389Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKImelgKks

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.”
