Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLUbKZ9gjF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT3SkwHs1G
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHY0xVcUUV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jn5dlpCW4
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4EFNEzgH6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPfZy5m7Tz
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjMSz843Yc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtIPs0TF1j
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmNFmXTNwQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB17ydmwvp
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wooEyf71S
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2albnvDWH
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJlyfJaVxk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gD6e2JNR2
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfVWSkpxdk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTNykJkw8H
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuEHpcIbtK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAKKTc8BDE
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO41PSUv1A
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1so3ygB0a
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAiEBUpDD5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb0WJNImeE
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvKudzYOgr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4LCEE3qKW
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuScJSK1pbk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzTg4v0YYe
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2g8mWhaOh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5hGKT7rqE
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEJKnUvW4Y
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59HP5QLPBE
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK1Cnxlv68
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM04M3x9A2
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fdI3Yv940
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUVFJZmmAV
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OBTqhdBrr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ10mOwvDpy
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD12AXsL5WP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZc7OPnTO3
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIqvaZ7mZq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9TfWrd2Vm
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDPucxX2dS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rMi13id3x
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6C8kQIol4
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcJUj9Zz9P
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxKi2XjAF6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEsy8Acln3
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkkOFkQUuF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R4uZdpVQ9
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hd1dNufaW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVYPl1idFC
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCLnjmZHzi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XehcHVGGf
Louise: “Kneel.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfvt6Vv5do
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0fZ2gCLY3
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmRaLh0G8X
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOPhDqKSPn
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkHNhqPpdo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNQL1TEZ6V
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uI028NKOT
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eVpYaBqsz
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ngVvELjw6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiFdAG2aRV
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeY0mZX8P1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqrP1XQ6wS
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…
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8u3evZrdUz
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkakHpXAgD
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?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqu5hD2guA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84LtojBk76
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4C8YgA2jes
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEMM3Fn7EL
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yNh8Ogd0n
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N33JVOrX1
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcDUVfTHXv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvVK7A58a7
Flamma: “First kiss?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AlE5I65xD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAgKI2txVx
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0be5J124Fx
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u0zCOsSXw
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lqDdVPJhV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BYaO6lUT5
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqH7EFHrSQg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDebVizPIY
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQ9k3n5VA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBeDFMA7UG
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhYAEqyZgq
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡai3jmrcJtC
Pain.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIFMGRopAm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1RUBMz2T
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlT71v4OnK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMIUAgWxVI
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFIr7OQtP
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eNLazizIs
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSPMblBRz8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0C6tzjCCC
Louise: “Let me…go.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCC3gqmGWr
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDlRDYUc6R
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSBpuG6r7N
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡViYKry7q2G
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2aMNhgcdg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSux9cPE5L
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7is7uGj20
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdar108mDUQ
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzO8dIUott
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PaDcRf8Rt
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFgAJ3Hnee
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM8NpqeeHT
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CADt9tNLI
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojIVJUgG1b
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpQRAAp1B8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEwUJbDYDK
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeoybmS2RR
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGe2XnWEfC
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTe8CSmNoi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2x9QEDFF4M
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwwhbqRomh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCabAPjRWv
Flamma smiled before replying.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgYFH4ctW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRpNKo7LFD
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWQZ1Exyyj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCtiGbthp0
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uXQk5Fshd
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcvnB9HBoj
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?
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUhHDd0bkH
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu08t8A5A7h
“Better we think.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe8VxWxdBy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY5VBBTBZy
Colbert: “Think?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOjUa9Il2a
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULF2kTWIhm
“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…”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJf7CMjMHWG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgCwQN4s38
Colbert: “But what?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnjbj9Zfuh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRBywtidy
“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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMx0sBev7pK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIALQEbdAr
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqORQAZFdU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZjNhXw1Ir
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDXcoKTzMs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNX5gwJEgX
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8YusS5QtS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjf4dD9jJO
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nUUcodVJy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5nlA47E6D
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PEGpANMo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjtd8LhBEO
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42ITDYCy32
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhX0p7Rpty
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIBSfXGRK3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZXULj372D
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VIT5LatBz
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjhXT93kgt
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0IFE2yRNi
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5UxFs9sBt
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqWi02RiHc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllp4i12Zsp
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDXSmZJxpK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9n9CcWs66
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKB6m0PTo6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV67vUFE4UF
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnojQiTwyu
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr8kxT4zil
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KtpUMNtbS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSEb21U3iU
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16hsuYLFe6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKzfLcMRtc
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLToC7wgBd7
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoDuN8AEB5
“Yeah, for now.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAK3Oo7oB0

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ322L3b2roe

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfg9dwC5FIQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw15Eby7MK
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQMYuRMEuJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m3sK48L2a
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsafYy8qNqp
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmciZBlEv7
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVygEv0cvY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2l6L0DnV0R
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfijQswBkpa
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1NFKnbjwK
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAjgHRnxiK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmTIUfUMx
Colbert tried levitation.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4UKqR0jUS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbtdvvv0n2
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjJjFBdJsL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJLfSFPJ5J
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy3SLUnUs6
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL2VgF5vw1
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFsXw2f7qQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz94XtCQZfm
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mqjHL67va
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDu5tSsagXc
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZMNInFsKC
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIgS4R59Nw
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2OCcgxcmb
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRq47eqXV5
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9hqdY7Y9K
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNpvSiGSWW
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUezkGio59
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCApupNtjC
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?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobCVY69NZ8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8AqIA5Bwk
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8uBWVeU90Z
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxG8TlYiv3m
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kjl869d7w
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAX7Kt7Etb
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XBBmq5YA8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoybSjqcys0
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19HzTDWUHD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eHP9AhrTG
Colbert: “Understandable.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkf8VoriDBK

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MOYX5TNtT

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrmJ4VsAw0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLJKuWnAy4
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWuyJwQGqY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWqAZUg5M2
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTKDu7E8dw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gmnGK8Pt6
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH0oEkVNEd

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7PcgS7xb8
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnaybegkkl
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.

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXgD5l1LRc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ7Nqz2k48
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp9HYCP6Tz
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3GsDH4cSN
Dove: “Got it.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx3CxqRdY9
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3d8zF2ThD
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLE7Bbq6UPo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYi7ySdQkq
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡub7AMlc0k5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiPFoJHht6
Siesta: “Yes?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV8uSJyD5T
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLWexyNikK
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggiCBzUGSN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKqOcEqj5D
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?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEemzvARjC
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsofT7dulZF
Dove: “Yes, me.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOMHOhomUY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6yIC9EhVc
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxpLJVhCXT
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz85DsITaoI
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQTke8r3WU
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlEbSeQYeB
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjHByjHPCv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouhxQCxfG4
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspZnFYDKXE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAsu6S9ytj
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxd3bdebA8S
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnetHPGcyi
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6cHqVpYj2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWUJGDfpbc
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmjctE8Jvk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTvzABaPR8
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQa5RvtRJ2P
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoaGXbkXRjn
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3OepQWjrw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwGktRJab6
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatGBFfpdLN
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS6n1gBUct
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-?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0HNfkvVTn
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BHUQekwct
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThvvZGMp8q
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3xYpSlLWC
Dove: “Got it.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFjHlrWkkn

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZP5Gn3f4u
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsM0hfVAG2S
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP0jFuFmiY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkNRjUE1S4
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgayOf4tx6E
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPEDPocFSX
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy9EP98509
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ZbYn28tx
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuitm0T7P0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0BMe0X6Bv
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStONFVQ9s2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V4HReZj1f
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbD9ypKiV2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nKGXjGmTc
Flamma: “Oh really?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTxwtl2jHd
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrGNt6LMCU
She says with a smirk.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0PUzhm5kS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEZ9NsnP9t
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQ2ozJqQoQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX7H98Bmuv
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApKudj5X18
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRpCdmximm
Flamma: “I won’t.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPFxVFtHFd
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoltWKKbdr3
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNLA1DNzzm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjAzKh3JpX
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c4TcaN8Jc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjNW356ezq
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbYjdEgpJe
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37SFZZ4SOP
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuqXiID7DJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwc3yF66gUg
Flamma: “So you say.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8gVrK81gm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcokIXZRUQ
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxAtY7TESc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwkwJzRWz5
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChsu6doZ2x
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqzJoO21Pg
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvvp3WpZDM
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCcQV4DZhn
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pI8NNFODK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgStQHrHCB
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEER24yxbJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHilo1KMcNJ
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kQ6PNTvls
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM2FDmrVzC
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvSEmePtBS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcyeKyn3rk
Dove: “…What?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF1YFNcC4E
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6V9jQJdfQ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FteyGCz1a
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1HP6xdo6S
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsDptoEl1r
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiCHqQB92O
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.’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkJLoW5U54
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhEsXFx2AT
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzYuk850Ou
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsmUxzZIRX
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJOnT4wwa
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFy3UGS1H4
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHHHIJFIkj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeU0UsJoy8g
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgfYgTWpn0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94n6KLTfQ6
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCxpDYhH37
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhBrOqZws8
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0lx2n525c
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebpANXXuIv
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCzZFuED62
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDsBpYjjmw
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNuAScyl3M
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IaCGj0z9p
Zander chuckled before answering.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM6cmaMNyc
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5hmKWqX3
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjeJVjSt29
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfcH5aHA2c
Zander frowned before continuing.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHKVyPKhIY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvD8iOvnPF
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGRLomump0
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWmubgF88c
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzO6KDNFZve
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA8UMjeLKX
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtxNJOGW7n
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThIsiNDfeJ
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7052zvlD
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EP1UhPuKN
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOShS52UVA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGVX5tJs5e
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TosAQYpDG
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbKpV8XTFG
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsqBaP4nL
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxf00GFgWM
Zander: “…A little.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJF7Trb9fF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHQy7ptKl1
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYxmpcPKRk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZSv77HjFb
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwkyBxMaY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4iIHWfYzY
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SPvIP3sJW
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG9tqD7Qmz
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJBzLVOsRA
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGQ4MYvawB
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLU5IU6iXE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgy48eFDJI
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxAPKToB4X
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuXcgKHWv2
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfISJN1B2
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBdCURxDgG
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fTHQymeip
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL9rXGhpMn
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmHJrpBght
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K6aKox3FP
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgArp9AZ1LE
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkkPYUVFxP
Kirche: “Such as?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqXgQu4K5K
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVIxaq102g
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zWbJZ3PPg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx9cjntjcu
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxgCncV1lX
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAwMxaxGHl
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgW7lPOqBO
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLLzeIINrj
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…”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b81931fJs
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6hqJPNHd5
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbNgxTtzYY
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y6hHe3pxi
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xqaEnBFE9
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tllUdq4Yt
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFE1fLxl1Z
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEria11Y2bZ
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gjiV0tKv3
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQI7hxQCPq
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFNw03qY0l
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5R52eu1K8
Kirche: “But immortality?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwRVqZzCp5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUFhMem7Fp
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0W63qSF1ID
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMGUFzk97F
Tabitha: “Old.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGz131cUPj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xFFqueIoQ
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8fvsrH4tp
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51v9CsJECT
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcggMzPcbGS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEbcCB0eqi
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP0KRGA7Jk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLcZK2PBnb
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFmi1I1T8b
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliAi6c8AI8
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtMYhMc1xg
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZZ2ySRLop
Zander: “I look after my-”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyMKj0x9vw
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5RLiiT0MX
“Would anyone like some pie!?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6vbzuSMNV
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn6p1zxh3h
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYWGTz0yXk
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGAJAEfvak
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc6WEPaPSF
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWfOKa9rF4
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kacDm2uuv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MTqnBIARA
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXE4nlW2xQ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGqxUy0NUs
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLSUR0HmQJ
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoemNJKfQB
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMMrct4JOv
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevghicEYkK
Tabitha: “Please.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8enwTCADa
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNJV5IoDjy
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr04Ys1lHK
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi75PfhravF
Tabitha: “Pie.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8a43Bh2Mh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF4oR0zwcf
Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFngG4d30h
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHKK9bXEsr
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODSj1UQdOm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQO4KYA47tH
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP10ZJjhJKo
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zFKUIiQ00
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’

Dove: ‘Oh right, priorities.’
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxh05yMqUW

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.

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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3u3tGR4CJh
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n8TJwESBZ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzjZzvsLPm
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgJazCvS05
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LOBGK95ub
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQpRBVa6NS
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYylSOyeBy5
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq9zFohTb0
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkd0zhYD8K
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVaqHZML9C
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ80twCmZf
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48NwWfrYhQ
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7Q4crpo75
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQhL7ZCVJj
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?”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkEQPZshEL

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma8Q5hSiWy
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqh74LMQ8X6
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?”

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgYznnG7J1
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyGSuMf2FE
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ552cpeFH5j

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.

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSYS4fvdnw
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzG0gQ78U

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSscsDwL5Y
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHhYgfNIbL
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.”
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWiIPhJxzj
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvAXnupqAW
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.

441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgx3nWqbI3

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.”
