Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpp6VBwxVC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5NzXVJSnH
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpKPlElXD9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSWkuU9eMl
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRDKFjptTN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWL5oRiLiAp
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpC9FxtnMqC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uZgJ1bwYY
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LIyVto9p6
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5puko6ykV1
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcpCFNNYOh
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWEqLtRsTW
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIdcP0rj7s
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWYZ6vy3NJ
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBkc0JZafe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1GP4RWmZ6
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkWeGx7DsI
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cYDvp7VE6
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYxmZO1dx2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXcPR0OufB
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFI1Q3aYll
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkmwGedzJS
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hBLvJm7AH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTH0UAo8tF
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavAxOI8hzy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37tla3sTac
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPisqv42Ahd
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDje35FpsMN
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbpBEusFT2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XShRHOUwA
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3m89rRpzW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ1qVJWsiK
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX2qMkMfMe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrF0Lfbtxjr
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsAFMjwTKe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7xyynaZpR
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HyraWccfp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphdpJfEiSP
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHdy7rmjM3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04I4Zk0riV
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKsIaPTep1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7Ma0QSIaM
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ18dN6ftaH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLQJ3fPtGC
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0PPtcY2LV
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79hY72pJBe
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5JAWbQA8i
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnQN88RNC6
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAA3pczZsyc
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjULLwQRX3
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLWlnbIGJG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLtwDlGTEv
Louise: “Kneel.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N5AfHOY0E
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4fCz9wJ35
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5RaUnVwU6
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSFjLtikkS
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdN3j68lpG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamm2VA3Rxh
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEk8bsUZ6S
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIeDzymlDm
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GJRXKAlbe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yIbhnhUIl
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWNhqVkyNO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WKqkxsudr
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…
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpID0YVbX1W
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwYMbJUW1p
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpHCcK5SOw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp3zY8F5fk
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGy7hOWZrHv
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZz5BilvIa
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv1xeOmL52
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrtF6NxT4e
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJZuNR2Q0o
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFZM4X1ShH
Flamma: “First kiss?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1OIEaQJM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNsaDupocT
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHJMMpjZ8S
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUoXfYGL1k
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTCqhmItNz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTypV1EquuL
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2xcbTxVKL
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9cxin7DR9
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtm9zX3vX5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPDB13IPy6
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zt8AipM6F
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyqqjCtzOJ
Pain.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOFv6Q0Dmk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4N18GLMJf
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9YTDXxYTl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbctg9nzicR
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV1fQgTXgz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSGtAoikVl
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDg7Qo0zTa9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabsjrjxeaU
Louise: “Let me…go.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpd2zGsWVX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSNzYVjeeP
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvorSU7XkFH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRzMXZ6tnu
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1QscaITiS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIT8cvNtEC
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRFYUx7GAe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo3HAVqWa3
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wwrC0nxcY
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi06ZgM2wY
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKFGyjL8Cu
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcUD2PwBiP
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMm9VOjOpA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbZxNTL9wK
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEftzIWKnl5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3RCz175ZW
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYyyRNZoxr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JQob6wDLF
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ64gi7jDU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iS1qRnw84
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPXTe2UieA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqGb3RV8d
Flamma smiled before replying.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSegAsjzoO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOAeqDiRqm
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs82CZL5qCb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5SaFLlZr
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qKywlx8Le
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvhy29wQYB
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?
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDF12X7q5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly8vpmcZWy
“Better we think.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnSsUwfJRx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y29mzlcOJ
Colbert: “Think?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms8czdGEPn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP0T7E9m54
“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…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6roOUrsQs
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b1r0xdUHI
Colbert: “But what?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE9VUf3OpE
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67BkUbhJLS
“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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAbwMlY8Zk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SFmgr2K44
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVpwmXXEbO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSQFS9ygvL
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNaHExlj0D
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlikVFwhwu3
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1UaIsdT5x
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaGTujXtrc
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hXV2IZsKU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX9q00sowv
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrPKVq1wOc
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykEUkvziWY
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYqcMEIx2D
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasWF9dskDo
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bJfSAYXEO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURokXgnN55
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSjRfgNi8j
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00hk9M5hj2
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhqXlSZor6
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YeVVOaPMj
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SkDyVofu9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcosx03iZVU
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vM8OV4OZp
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8XsOCHV0j
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46y5WdyexW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWx8Xe3lgNB
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgBC2YYl5H
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPYL1pB0zJ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcavrnErEbF

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4FWAGFCH6
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXd5wKfOlo
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v51Hoa4qU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sb5BgajrN
“Yeah, for now.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwn6eIfRMo

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3C6mS39Bb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvlU9x3REU
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHyFiX9czH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIL8uwWJ3l
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIwGgwieeC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DkKSYiVJv
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrZi8Cp6TF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPcv8luQ10
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSg672Ook4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDbfozOMvd
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonXnofqeMZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazfsNDutou
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HcdQApSls
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt70f6MgqTS
Colbert tried levitation.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7qx4TzvK3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1GWnua2CC
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqY6rgwDEn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9FhsY5Nwu
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RP05qNLJ9
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvd6SpjGmC
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6rS3AJqiS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIjpO4wXGi
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf24MEQnnT
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CC5wJIZD4
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpM044YRMz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfNdDUHy5b
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Dx5kysEF8
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFUk7rrjqa
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JjUf4fEra
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufaw3hde2c
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrxWasHGx
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsdClcGHaU
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOpTTamqvw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEvCdkVy05
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwPa9msPZi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTDNoU41VC
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkDiBVo1z7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxEF7cdtuy
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQCntyM40p
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DINh1HhFD
Tech: ‘Like you could.’

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxUKzshfta

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkqczJYfZS
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJsEp2cOsE

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ENeX6U09
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly41AMs4SQ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9fSieyov
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAoys41Nr4t
Colbert: “Understandable.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzXQALPVFJ

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3CSlnDQeV
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb4iBuikzQ
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngPCHaRzpK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8sqsPToOI
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCRO0yb04T
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeuIDkP7s5
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW60vpX5vK
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15BOvhJFFi
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBeozneQyw
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKU2pKXjif
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSP7Eobfp3D

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZASuB6JkG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0xmARgt4e
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.

Dove: “Got it.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTq9xCZaAYO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrcs5eQGSu
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL0hfsA98l
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenm9XNvllS
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsrIpNQpSa

Siesta: “Yes?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc2QKVMTe3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaHAVl4MyS
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qn6hpBzzt
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkCQu5HSTi
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?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFmHfsEefM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVJduKniAu
Dove: “Yes, me.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9tJUTvBYe

Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwf8JpTGf5
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGkDUBHlDg
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhQgS77D6y
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcjocrwHZt
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLr5gOQ9fX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VYwwTEefu
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKVMicoT7s
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY9CT7uX1t
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvox0grhXcR
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgC4sPFLPk
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zyYyYkT0Y
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILnWlOoVv3
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrDd3Fv3KU
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdQgSebFVt
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sasMYKq34
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8ZFPvRZEz
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKceghYOAqn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgaVIONUlf
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AIuMIJzBv
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpDIc3rExL
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-?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmyBR9cBQm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fNMjnssfx

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSpJxPHIHF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3otNun68f
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIRuhZ63f1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYmrUs5ph0
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qCdWyoTRi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlfMxTa30N
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEX2xyYiSy
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdLbL0ZPUn
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nqZKi9oDM

Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU1JGMJrjI

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

She says with a smirk.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTUi0PdS6f
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc6T9k7Jr5

428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWytJ6Jqmo

Flamma: “I won’t.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbP1OoK0Me
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmRDtNEmq8
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTvDFPoYJt
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO774MZF1Gz
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQrS2wfatD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrevnv8BkcK
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4AW7H5bYa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TaLZaakrl
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNVVzxUUN1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynbCuWctlG
Flamma: “So you say.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMkIKL02pA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlHbPyTI7K
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz8h84MYaz
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cxwffl6ID
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscwn0Z1dq4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvJzTjwthZ

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV27MjxWBIl

Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsBgHRluMM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpeaaIZLU6
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2yHo8KE8J
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJeQlh1xXg
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKd1XD6OYko
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8NERKWjeO
Dove: “…What?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBZukqHQji
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Gm7Y6EvN
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5Kf3DSQ8W
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttXgBwbTUO
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeClCAPuoMO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rDdvUqvzL
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.’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvceUlek24
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzG0aFM6OJy
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk6IttVz0v
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn64Pl1TZCR
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbxjMrjA9H

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvadCWtXQ5W
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB6we9HPl8
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELWPyjAdWk
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3G1zk8omw2
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGwo0iwyTn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08ogR1KaZF
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lNcXguBUA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpa5sIRRin
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBZ4Twlnfh
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJw8dDdn3R
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmC69kQ1hlM
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0LbQVlY0k
Zander chuckled before answering.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWR7jZOmjEC
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXSP3C7b2g
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1TWwR1Uom
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g6CRliWDX
Zander frowned before continuing.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJnCx9uGgG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaEUJVGhco
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIyYdrwxIl
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr71cyX5gM
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwo5nhjxSA
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdenUuaalUY
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZKPl5Yo8I
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iEQ2LfMPY
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQLJj67bmn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qx8BAxzn5
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAwzB9JUGH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAus55JyNG
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmpd9VPTHq
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNPScpPopq
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAYQ8g6x0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMAJsgnDpj
Zander: “…A little.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbraBludEq
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgk4Tf6Wv2H
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLLygt88UO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yFRULWgEE
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUgNKlKbo4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vMBijdeFY
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXj6J5b9Wa
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzYcAkgC1B
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwbW9BuNf7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7IVjbec8j
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VYiC2rbWh
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHRYp0KCOi
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMzddP0kvB
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvYQiqhcYp
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwL5uzOwAX
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTK7f91qXHu
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUJ1fnHTYu
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FXwWaNeiK
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfQYJtxbo2
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWv5yAtFssJ
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnewUqvVWcZ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoerZQbsSa
Kirche: “Such as?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5KdNhGDEo
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOi3MpN632
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltlTuuuxp3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcgMEmThMc
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzX6iQ7AXm
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa1a4HZR0L
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi6YaehlxH
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWV6uFzfyMl
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…”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnUZQNTMgG
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IVQRGaiKX
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbXS4RQqm0
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi89pYX0ARz
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80aUvRVo8T
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfK4eBA74f
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEIMsMhLIF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Lyers3vR
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJxBNNe8K7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZvdx79Qn3
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIMXtNdtUn
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHL4TrCOPT
Kirche: “But immortality?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6lRLOpOvi
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehQfncdDlu
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1yBOJ1rdb
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZF4WGz9dY
Tabitha: “Old.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNbv7xeJk1
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzcpfu220L
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED8u4fZaXQ
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QqmpNkG3C
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sjHJN5jd3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfi2QSzmMBD
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbAumF8cuF
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZ9d7zPuCq
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy4h02ZJcW
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtZKw2oVuF
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yqzOBy9Ej
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEWur971r
Zander: “I look after my-”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsTpnPj1c5

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYVBncQKh7
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqz8vgWnmYK
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkkX8C6HBr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPlWKRuacR
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwOgxfQAqe
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5s5Bk90IY4
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36MfTMmPf4
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJiuvPGX1K
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaadBgL1PMf
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kkH132zpK
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlSL8HPz93
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GL8lgGc8E
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdpxV3tn4N
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RyFWkfidi
Tabitha: “Please.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexaTBebnWz

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGU9Vtva1a
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQy59HiWB5b
Tabitha: “Pie.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8eQZBtu2J

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1viuQGaON
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJdXnf5P6d
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qFRxW5Boo
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAuQ6Fe5hQ
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOfBP8CWxp

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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz60v8FTaE3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAgNBp9iV1
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w5V7nQRcD
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaElbUbOSe
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwD9mHMFik
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1n7hpeXJ2
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGfO7LYKBO
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz3YLfDNr0
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1pda2Mi2i
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1mDBUGWnV
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc2IkPkvmN
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NqSOdDGNO
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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEXxNNnMh3
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVTMwhvJ7I
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.

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.

This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

Before Tech can give a witty comeback, Flamma and Dove come to stand beside him.

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. 2 of Louise’s familiars were protecting one of the maids. But few had hope for their struggle. After all, those 2 were only commoners. Even with an extra maid’s help, it didn’t matter.

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.
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIBHr1Q7Pr
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I3rNT8KN7
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.”
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3rHaDafED
428Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppjnbdOvtC
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.
