Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYgz2oJvv4

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z58yUufK1

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V51EH3Hxs
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKM1qXj3aTE
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0QFj5gByX
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvhDAGzKX
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYonHaHznCQ
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC54SiWLL1

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7jQb2tR7o
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ933kQeRnmM
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3x4RUnDQA

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yqXC3G6bj
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaaITcD8em
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK02JVIeS4T

Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVQdNyGQ8c
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0fxkh4M5m
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTP1lUGaTF
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtACM59u9Gk
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGYb0KgwDs
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj7gxa58hg
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWn8hInszGC

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZG8p2O9gw

Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQDIghijdN
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXcSQgH6gg
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJ30dAhNP3
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzE1HR78Ke
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug1CWXXHHd
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzKou6Kc3H
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUEw5E0St5
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpiu6zgqZ7
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ0L0GwfOg
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1loUkqCFIn

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmykwtDkB4
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBvN36dgLQ
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p9dLll1d9
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztv3D0aGF3
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0kenqTX0T
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ptdVSvyPB
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJXsfIwzc7

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0Ae067j1X

Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkiLeP2V5j
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB1cd88VEd
She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWWnIiRHWC
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiHJyOaFoy
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”

180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCfF0BQkKv

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuny0mguKca
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyKRFehroM
Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOn73mrZ52
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqYEvQkEaV
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.

Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP6YKMCKnA
180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByQk4fGl8k
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
