Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFizcp4I95n
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlbqn8JZ7m
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI18Rc1JgFT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgh6SYkT1A
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk4k39WWmq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCjnxrGtdE
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGbz26BUB2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzACCrkSoO
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFhCrxCpSm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWbiz0QvLI
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnSO6hKB3L
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qZ6uzOj24
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlbtKjUpdSI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJWP5vPJ40
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3d2I0xBSr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkJbNAKbdF
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGPDCkaBZk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ906kZSxYl9
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlMp5rKzGF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wM8EEKr0P
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99etypWwPX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZLSSYjWK9
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdobJ6SXc3c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF04dNr3VBC
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSK2wvjkJm5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtETieK71R9
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvTmFJsIOa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSoNyUXdYP
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEs7Ntb4qO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyIQm2LORS
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0847mg4kg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBOeXSpsXo
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BI6z5ISIr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5LnNt2FQW
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ429dQqWDhN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfI5fahl5W
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAXnc6MNDG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX83whEQZUM
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYNQL9g1Fv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91x3osSUgu
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEliqlEwMD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBYXyC9brW
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvXz9lKjJr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MmcVCoJR8
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB6837GVDp
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQVOpSvwly
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF8OMzXW13
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcUCvTDyN0
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDr3nT0D3S
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYdN73PTM
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNbCakGUx9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUO652uj9r
Louise: “Kneel.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbNC8zkcJv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFGiHCYWHs
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCTj9jYfcx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEpboEyM1G
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡce5Yw8OEXv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xTJgLhlTz
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUuXDoEgD0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNfjqDVaP9
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU8L4KfrbW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwnTTHuBdD
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBankuP1V
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWuxtJQ7bb
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…
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6P7jEdOpX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgmPgUcN7F
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?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWJ1oNVk0c
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RG28yCkBA
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16qSLB1Iyh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyVruwtDzU
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYEydnkycm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVjdusZy32
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy58Gw3mebs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBkEzk2KHL
Flamma: “First kiss?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHkTdfIorb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh88y9Q37n
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UAXQuZb3G
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlMeftiCYE
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKdJTLL6oa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldYUWy04mt
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUcwmhMGZ4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM2gEToWCD
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGgKZQj6zG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwqfvKVzbv
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgLDFB32S
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHM1fRhmcxn
Pain.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgQR6kqJi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti7IsFWKRo
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJStzHfDLr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OAu3oHaKB
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ79x9gIlej
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSPKCv6pDh
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciypmMdpOy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vNCpEPRF6
Louise: “Let me…go.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oJHPeMUEQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6Jc37PjFL
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrmFO3aq1K
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ4XmTnXC3
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ea7FVGbGk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqbzbsXXbV
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWOUcD0oVE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wxEqRht8
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cDHSMhM5U
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTquRrhpE4b
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhaS1toLBi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNeyaCStsO
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNujMQTPrqC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjVpV6Mzpw
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4njsBHpAX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysL9e5KVT
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOwnPSpDOy
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw6jDtCISIK
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CQ8SCwM7T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcV8OKsYV6
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHGmG2yxh3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROSf9QPjcy
Flamma smiled before replying.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcXRzn9kq2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ME5cmGefT
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTp2SGschL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM56HHKzSNK
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ2aFoeggx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpuKQJGbS0
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?
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBLZWLiFm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTuVxnS5MQ
“Better we think.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO0K0A1wFE
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUKlhfZ3xD
Colbert: “Think?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf7vUZCkIO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsdHmCzX9d
“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…”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Sb2x1yme3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvz9ZQbude
Colbert: “But what?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadpcA80WT3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5tzjWDCR2
“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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccqUBYDz9T
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEYMEaItYL
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhyqG1Bwng
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqLRX8Tnp9
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xxmG4QYdd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRXrJqWrVv
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3mPIM2wk7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYoBjclqvy
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWglmalJ6P
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YOSl6vx6l
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOUF0M4d6x
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMYAL00o4U
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgD4aVAK46
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdCHENtDzU
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJSaQDqCVD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILvG6UhMYN
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8RPFAOdmJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9tHTKoAH4
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNem7WzFXTT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Lnf4yxEp
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT7ghHMiR7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3vDP1ODhx
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kOaP8rhXI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZkPRpcimp
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUERylI3Uag
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC9fipogj6
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQIRC9C9O9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhsBqDIrpu
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLETSZhjH8s

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwe70JBK4r
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHtPtC2uOZ

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDr6Dswf8F

“Yeah, for now.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECW25U3zt1

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLB1QHc8zo
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGoPzEUKdo
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6IOVSW2Ic
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FLLbNxgKl
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq2gMavpeI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD08G9H69o0
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9SJa3IgLP
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTuumJEbia
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfilNO4PHoV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcueTHsFhuX
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5lxl0CpX7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3e6WCA96g
Colbert tried levitation.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXdjx3xIq2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXj5MHbfJfn
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSVFoRW6fC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0x4lq0FRQ
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwLz3dVOu0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dkJ4TWCzL
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO49Zs5ve5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEstPCP1e7l
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uh2CS465s
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAxPBetq40
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV7h1trQJJ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpcpJ5tABF
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmqzZIGi0m
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Mbmn3Zzj
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYE178ir9P
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHszNDFl2h

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRhusRPqUV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX80bVThbru
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?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYI2qVqvCf
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevYkTb8ZlE
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8HW4YgZK1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiutUDgdXoB
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9ZIlKwPqL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSeDsxd3Wq

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zidAgo8gD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Ox4sAY47
Colbert: “Understandable.”

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRJ1lhErmD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRFpbVAYXc
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRudTHSIQY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnIXTsxuge
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamZERMk0pW
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5jey9Y1bc
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qbsQR80kQ

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqbAbPvCV0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV00ROZaOTo
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.

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUuFpVTM6V
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWm4Sk1DCc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6QSXMbIZM
Dove: “Got it.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHlP1z8zLU
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCEE0oc1x8
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyDfhvqJAL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfc6eiCP6I8
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDr1qKOPXk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvxveKEWPI
Siesta: “Yes?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr5RRHkCbV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCJW6BS1Kr
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hidcrdj1K
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGr4cAWfLY
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?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsJVp6haxb
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNXpsflgD8
Dove: “Yes, me.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDduzpTS8Yj
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6Zr5mrzDn
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBPfgFN9sL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsqJuUs28R
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyWCsoLgiF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hnGBL5NpG
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ4VbtMuKM
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoMy6lmXGt
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGchFkVGf1K
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAdeaNP69w
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTtgTtz6te
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFrDvmPXBq
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjtTmhaUi7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1ZxG8gYcU
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RHYrjiGYG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEwCRjiX7K
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb5CmpJazQ
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpYAQcB9TL
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdubuBSmnDt
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnZE7Lb8XE
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2EPXt05EL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXxjd4roE3
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-?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjJgCVlF8C
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LZ0Lk6FQo
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNdASqx38k
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZI5fknZHi
Dove: “Got it.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjt8LtXEaf

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDBMFrDGbc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AKqTolwrE
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbm7r5qYJR
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡez0eZV61A1
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM40CqhAWZ1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6bMeujVXb
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapLTRy0zAd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksnpxJtcNx
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb89ESdQJ2p
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwQ71IWEDa
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN16FBeZ4G
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOFU653kFk
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYf8369mOv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXTpWNLnzT
Flamma: “Oh really?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nnFHBGwUS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTMyrCh8Oq
She says with a smirk.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrqaCHlDcC
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3cI2yj1ND
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb11pbkfsH
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k0EXB84kT
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWZwi19RyF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcl4CZUhGng
Flamma: “I won’t.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtW6I94tYr
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYG7FsaFy0
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiQY31z0fB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzO755ZXzn
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapcAavztjm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfJdJYebS4
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN3Pwfcvsc
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIPMbCtTWY
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhteBf1fKD
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VGySXrh4A
Flamma: “So you say.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyWyuKlkh8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2E4pTJ9ZZ
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MnGcqpfVz
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizKU4PIwKW
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZJsPG390Z
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRPUutSy9z
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUZnIn49MB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlKgnk4kGA
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaEu87HlEd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAUeszc9Wt
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ARXDAddZ0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ3AssFdSM
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5mAZVAJjq
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMt1IvwFV3
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26lUUdIe9J
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJgCFZSObL
Dove: “…What?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk26g0zDXH3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloYHPPpjxV
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspmYrABayL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctfhXbL7tk
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MZA3NffIL
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0j26Vrmsbr
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.’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaBcSZn5I
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2N8okStWe
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrMZFGWaqd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgICX7pLRj
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46jqf5kWnY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnCN1r7IJ5
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkIhWI470F
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhbAjiqFKH
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUOgfVcUSO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrsfFM9bGi
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2V29JLaRd
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOubvYkFXpE
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWu3LKwgc0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7ANmrgvzr
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc0ehDtta8
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZGvjH2PPI
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Oojrok6gI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmDz23zhTw
Zander chuckled before answering.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBN2OQXCdT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsU8Qff9OH
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaHezdzDx5
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9mEJgtZCO
Zander frowned before continuing.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPowfp4CMy3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzGkc5orNq
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5vkPVr8qx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA5lnor8Do
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsq6yPAYF6
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAIzyTM8uq
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3nCUXaF1P
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElxwli9gS0
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwUJHfyYul
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUjzWOSgYp
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvs7a85XVY
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhYd35Fjhr
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc0nrgxinv
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkl24F6wp1b
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3opa2XyqjN
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYqep14btP
Zander: “…A little.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquNjlGp8TB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHYndWfsmC
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXzkEF9HM2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWXJwLZudt
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExZnDLuKSu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmpt5gCnyW
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84SQXJiuq0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXOfPDNAAc
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk52XPZZbl
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoNT6NO848
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoouArrzJLG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbl1V93LZb
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCrqSqA64s
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkbCC9F3HV
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlClMeMgvAX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGaaD7SDX3
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwE1wrdCfK
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoklxx4mkZ
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwo8ATzKK4
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG362bYJ29w
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfQ2uejNAS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYv9J66qEq
Kirche: “Such as?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgWAXpX2bS
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTvXlL2Wmj
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7HKu1dhFk
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs41ezSK02
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIstiHTfXa
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn06vR4qw8
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL1Xik0ygm
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHqQ2CmwB
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…”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3tqA3Ja5B
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgvuxgjiWi
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWcvdbwM4Q
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb54ljhtid
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh14ycbnRf1
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxJj3HNN7g
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH4WTb1EeB
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58M6jpwQcE
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVByHojE0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgBGmmhJXy
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHEyL6zmwF
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtkUlnbb1z
Kirche: “But immortality?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFAMn8fH4g
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRu1KFdLVo
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVBMqkjw0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTldMOuhsP
Tabitha: “Old.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHRwToOhGx
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxOQIaC488
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenI4RMrcJX
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzZgNSsYFt
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYaIpT3E0
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSJHaiXfI5
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexwS9MMiVI
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84nZGNeEde
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nNyJDgOEV
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7sGKcz74H
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvoEcN3Ra0

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UCiRrcRXO
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvTY240AAM
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDCQnp8vu9
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaWtM5l22i
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt6nJYjsup
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3hNexCwPl
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRslPxJdiG
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLnWeEpKw6
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPnUZ4IWSh
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJ6OPjJUOr
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTem3jt6uWT
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHvnXKaN6d
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3nYjSxqA7
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJm02qarXd
Tabitha: “Please.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBVng2y9W3
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26nypsjZ9r
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjX9U1jU5f

Tabitha: “Pie.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpfa2g5ApJ

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVL6I7Rh4V
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5a7BTLAnK
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IkrWC0W2O
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxro3ebSJQ
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGGvQanktA

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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaxiGH6dMg
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5effuHF7Qe
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeeyGkw7ye
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRF5Ra2Rzb
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGK7BoJOahs
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfE2zGugPwD
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7J5wU9TR4u
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeI2IxyVXD
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3T8GE0Qhu
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJFOYY953N
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXQPLw5VPA
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IusVJaCDw
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.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz3TxUoday
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCMAc3LY5R
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpw6f3mV6u
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESkGhsf3MC
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?”

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ejdCBdTVn
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw90k3wI13D
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.

425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9BTXiPsmR
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhqMfaKa8I

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzAsXlaNwi
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FQn2NuW68
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.”
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjTlGXmEv2
425Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPp1v1DeB9
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.
