Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgFjyicp5m
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGdENCKYtn
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPWCrEHm9t
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpJDkqiyuQ
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ73UXiTot
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJhbx93pNG
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz7yQ2a0DG
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4dQcFSnQY
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6GkR3BYAX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrT84B9nAhP
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yBrznACm9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiGgTFthyj
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0FP3paneQ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxVDnsXeIl
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bjwqVNUdK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5uEWENYlS
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU5D0yaAg7
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODCtotG6yg
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDau8387dG6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRXL36AbBF
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3vddqGKDW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveRXMi8Fx8
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uH38VoQCa
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0aiopEh3o
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgR1jeS3S3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsZFYzHFYk
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wDVAqbEKn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l94D9khKp
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0FEmnoVap
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNnWZhhZzs
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRAq0DZVkg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64c9AP6n3J
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz4qHcZddA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNE4wZMOUiz
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YcTTCz88T
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93ijo1pgMM
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxk8fAxAVT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2F79aBUTh
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRbBYRDWXV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF2hCAErgH
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVEfpkNDD9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9rAGIvS7M
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfdzegKfb0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkeWlqUawH
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa46L4QHxjC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WYESudMKc
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspNlZv58tm
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94uPtl2Kbc
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83hDeiVhvL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpac6JtUnz
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9XnoXgeb8
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTeDwuJkUx
Louise: “Kneel.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRecp00bam6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b8Z8M3q9Q
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqB4yJAmvr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjLvKpCGfl
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAtre0QB2t
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaAMFMOIR2
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvyfORn9WU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKaoIiNInO
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlKYYTWUxh
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpaKOmB6J1L
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn8dtM8rLg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0WcNOXbvS
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…
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKUM0xrq5C
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFShIcfDUn
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?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCXZdxSrJ8c
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqfofEA41u
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGzSlsCnIv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1UZoxYkE8N
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FUX5LGpjg
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhG02jMYpm
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROjnbsfw51
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5nBjCmndQ
Flamma: “First kiss?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH7OtHl9pV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VIEBYcgDV
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQ5OBEjVZS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFeoqdSONL
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7JDTY6gQV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpRhA4KRy
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUN6LIOMhX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhXMVqpoRJ
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RVhMoCim9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSWXBF1lXA
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREIOeERCCl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDUNI2mIQ3
Pain.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpoxKVccLt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZ56lBlJ7P
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2lo4B6rfd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51YNkV4aq
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCb6b6zPWx
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQFDOPkatl
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfxqaRXV9Y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtBKmKVeKz
Louise: “Let me…go.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7EBh4LWlJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyeVPQjppK
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDarkiOoQO
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLiOEOMPWj
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0iZfPDiJ0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGK9B2gkug
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbfiaOHCXF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwirNLfqxn
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4Pv6pOWcd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEf45YyL1S
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4FeMpnecS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP4uwtd0iK
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHy5RPLSji
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLLKwybv6a
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiFKHl4Kz0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xu42gb8oO
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoygCyBTlVj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp77Y6X5AB
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlZzBGFt5n
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstrVEA7wKJ
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4xMQcc4dU
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWARleYH98m
Flamma smiled before replying.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XLFrrjeEd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxpGeitzzK
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlqsSgkI2N
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiIbLkMaG0
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahMp7xUeNe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DRmgqRyxJ
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?
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj76gDuAVlR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1mCMPp8x
“Better we think.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqthLRATjv9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7RXz8eWVY
Colbert: “Think?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HvBTYWhwl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKRz4eZXF4
“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…”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmW2n3Rfa4c
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtASVWtGxQ
Colbert: “But what?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf1XZfq497
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEf7RCLPXZ
“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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O3mFubupE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7rPLWSvXo
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJXo3ecxtR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxgU2mzM0q
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjlpbl9Od5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6fZffcRaP
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwABE4NluyI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrhUuFloXQ
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpsnJR5qh1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvR5lXqiBv
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUE7MtZcHb
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwlJWFvgkk
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSyNwr2xSX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdusTtwKD2
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDclH0Hra
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xfNw0hO8U
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWwWMoIDjH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRNkQ09iG9
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrD0J7ngxd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgT9MDwQe4o
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGsI1ttWjz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNW6ClAZWp
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg6UeAEPCj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPTI4v4bad
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLlxEz3Irv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5r4EJugKW
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8oG1HTtkS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sgluT8o0A
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg496GnSD6e
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydsJ9fTvlc
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjANb8iMl7e
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aRPVh5Vsd
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Tj24ppjYB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ563ijJIBPi
“Yeah, for now.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C854HfGRD

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLngMUlz8A

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgARvqYhhK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SP1caJgiV
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWS6Paib80
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbUjfLZhkO
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3YzbONh0l
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYtvSxCI8v
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsYtaPF2Wk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0yJYPcBrK
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw99WQ18PM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4he483odU
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SWw1DjAXA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSOf3DAN92
Colbert tried levitation.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzOjR5DsR1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa298jSzxZ0
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86IJHBwNPB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmuvdZ3MoM
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FpPg1KaqF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKnReUbqQK
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CKQfd3nhs
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEk9BTArBw
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSK8k4CBF5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEOEYhmGzv
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd7M3yXskv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGRFX6sV6g
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJLjUvY5Ya
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbCBIcio79
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPrjn7IZO5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiG8My0Iou
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuP4S02aSnN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLosXBudytU
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?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1rL3bnNyS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIHZmFLDfs
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRouGMVrKUW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WFpOpfkqE
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8G12QKWhf
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaxjrab3GW
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3N6BLUDtk

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkLrXjcd9p
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8M1PjOa2tf
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnci6B0tAaC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIUeRMMfiz
Colbert: “Understandable.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdq9MMCwn2

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z5veLIZsG

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKjoG9RiB5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡac5Ziv525b
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dYUgsykiD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83YVTf0KHG
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbhJizYVSK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JqBiLPK0I
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4g87qENL1Y
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTY7D0YFG4
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbMoZNBNyl

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQPCLVcF14

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkJuOVGlLd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGeI8twoTG
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurCISQyq6A

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPGKLkO6Br

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY1OpvE6xi
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNB64yseBQ
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfGCGWnOae
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MGqE1oMgN
Dove: “Got it.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7soHGTeXc
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPczlU8NCnD
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaboztJmAk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi2IPu0oy5
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutJmKsOwQB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaub4RHp2wf
Siesta: “Yes?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GOxDILbvA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf75nyVRh9w
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3GZ0yMDC4
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQD6L3EAut
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?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF41hnHu96
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDs2hGyQ68
Dove: “Yes, me.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrgQJeLGux
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VJ6GhLbgx
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbdAM4haJJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5gwMvnKOb
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqS3fR0bL0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXyFS1TLPb
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tDWbYvShE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOOZmeQqPn
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6NIwLrPnW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBNg1EpeDM
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQiU3Ueh99
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliwBEdlEvD
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsexvmKIWF
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rhAoGrqIm
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9RkKNdUlo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9PvzuKgdG
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2ExlJfUwy
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMHQnzTg6H
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdarGWakdoL
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrnJ9vOw8b
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtlIjSzWwY
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQak4u7otB
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-?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmDAZKXzgj
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28tR7mnkZy
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiawtUOGniC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7WybOnrzj
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeSzdb8Mwz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf1tevGyAY
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPNWXg7gMJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwLWdRlyZX
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10NNBFPHC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexjnBgZ7m
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz92fCA5ts
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfKQBiImHC
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIo8xL33D2G
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jr9iGMdr3
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7n0uCWVNLk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi9edg1RG0
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKi3SxKYJ5

Flamma: “Oh really?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokec21JBEU

She says with a smirk.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaIZPiJdaW
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgrvASqqo0
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukbcjniXZW

Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”

Flamma: “I won’t.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP2V6JB1mC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG2ZE7o4cm
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxm8Ccp6Dt
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fSLi3OxFl
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt2aUluUDC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTu6KVLUSF
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePHF57lgJT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMtkJiWSdZ
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEVJv8ge7H
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshKk34oT2W
Flamma: “So you say.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjE6a2SECA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOxizkrg5d
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUl7Spi3Cz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLuCwfjKcp
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGiqO1Od00
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8ty64vNg7
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmo9fs9fHf8

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlEXX27Jwr
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPnRwpeEpa
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIVre59xBS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpF7baS9AU
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPpage4GCu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5fdyHReWV
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn3TtpbpXH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2makE9iCUD
Dove: “…What?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGeEr8oPiC
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCafP1KwbT2
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiek5Nci3S
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3em1UHAPX
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT8EMgoHgP
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFuGw75rKb
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.’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJywFnaZpar
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUh0afXpDd
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0fDJ3Yn3G
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNXuTN2bqK
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4DfoUp7oE

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRSnzmoTmv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dNpn8sx0Z
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRd5Z8eS3VT
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aVRrcWI8
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kJMROdatM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWGaFy96x0
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0R6pEuwI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpQyn3uOLg
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAuMSDwdGk
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS90aUSRulw
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPQgTBzQf6
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzRflVJ4zl
Zander chuckled before answering.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa3PaYKkXK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwolFrSwHL
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdVboPm45w
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXbBUhj1YR
Zander frowned before continuing.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPXM9YjAgM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH8cEkOd63
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zNolE04RK
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsis01sNRtm
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsQ5j4Bzyd
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuf8cd94cb
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdAx1QH8XR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBB0DwQ1vd
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3rtzo88sR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUeSiduWvS
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Oz8jEuOO5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKGxqPOGhy
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6KL50bq19
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvnl4uGVwZ
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3ZLUpBORp
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9hA7AORWP
Zander: “…A little.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLAG7ng1ET
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAnSCtYpUn
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbGzB2CkAX
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfSRHpWgxh
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGe1tvBaSN
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OcbMFSZDR
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfTt6AhgFR
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGIiJXn8vV
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkli3OvTTCH
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Qa4CVQY4
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymB6uwXed9
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYS38C54MdX
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYugE4Op6c
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm7e4JL6zU
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7t768y2hS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEWhYo4080
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmdmumCx3r
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeafq9IHR1W
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgtzvh3E8B
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54lyOI9pXw
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4tIGSes5R
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1WwPR0dV1
Kirche: “Such as?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNtU5ngr0R
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkIbD5lhpw
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERLobHqWY0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOvdffidOu
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKsv0lUH5c
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedJt3QUNh3
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28PyF7hodl
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMJ0DNcZ7D
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…”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2xl7lgfjo
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuJMOenHJ3
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aDxYuN4BD
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS83AmP7K8
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL5YlLm5LM
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95fYAd1iWF
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DZrn6kV5J
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgqj6ouukl
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47kv7c2JT1
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKETGcjDTvq
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX0SuB9p1w
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPNQLLbuUP
Kirche: “But immortality?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgU7gxM4D3
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtBDt4Plyc
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdicPSzPDi
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh29Vn1tZH
Tabitha: “Old.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhI6sea93VJ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoy96pcTcT
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYsI1J1VTz
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N0IHPn9Ij
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1JbeUnatE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLz0TurWvkW
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvWbKwBJZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPzi86UwUs
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOkkyOMVxS
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXFsAMQo7w
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcw5XJqxJNu
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5RtguiC98
Zander: “I look after my-”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj89h8TIEbR

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlECGkp6FJV
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAbYeJynOQ
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOnVn0zHe
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnN4jOYiDN
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHERNlrkmv0
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvuul49vE8
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeBa1c4pzI
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQei9TKb9O
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0XGYjHE4s
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpf24NrTBU
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xJUeSdOJv
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XZKYuTIrx
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSii2ekeu5
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEKZ6hwipi
Tabitha: “Please.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20fHg8NNig
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3Obm5cx63
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrrtQVV6KE
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhyteFxIR7
Tabitha: “Pie.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJJe75kj2

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXALJiF28R
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhh3tSYTy0
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpId0lUrbn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki3Bjym7EB
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJx55jDDlV

440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjh4RU9Swe

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdHeG6EsPz

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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAlj55UGPn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdzFhy0bqG
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmRd7nw0nB
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdTtQDNH8m
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gM3bgcVSn
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYsjtKY8eS
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1laKH2yGw
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB24fRMhcRB
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGACjfIcUA
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXspMPMWPm
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU8aY0GOoZ
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLrPmOK15o
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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vsQTqQnly
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1CNVASjp7
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoxHgeZjyr

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.

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.

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…

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.
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdRNEDG7v
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRpG69mut2
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.”
440Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsMfLi1pnf

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.
