Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z6TztbuQq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRprpZCGWiw
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuPm8yJ4S8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCDjxQbfpZ
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOnjzDyV5J
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uZ7L2LtQ6
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7d0dWn9SG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxY9YFJ0eq
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6MMKXImf4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5PsMBT1sZ
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJifUG8R8Xz
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMbEkWwrXx
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96zF7mmfcA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehQqIGShfs
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPIMN2Nku3
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcrChE5uaF
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP8VeVlJDf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexsRSWgmXq
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SFKl57oKl
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfr7EqiMOk
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU9hTTqbHo
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUxIe1jN76
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO3xBDVvRb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMREZhUwmWW
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma61pKWHlN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzZ8X10cb6
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjq5uE9OY8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqQchX81FZ
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG36TRIVFj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYALz0Ulso
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdLjHlNsxA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oSb2jcywM
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4h2Va7fNB
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jTArSeIgw
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRf3MzWULoN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6nqZ0vk2x
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SOc1gVYIl
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMoVTWOFYR
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDar0X7unU9
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmua2IuKicW
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG42hEdNHz
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI3EHh9x6G
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCtNbgO64o
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGl6cno7Yt
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx7lQNIJTF
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLXcLzjy51
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXSs9Q1D2L
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdtxiB2iZC
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjVKXX7tX8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXadY0QNqs
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsLYTEwXgs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX4OEHrIKd
Louise: “Kneel.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHTbdXPanV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmn7sviOLW
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHuMmqVL26
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFb1kApmMi
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlSV3UmXum
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQFVhJdrBw
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfvdyZ4wJX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiIa1X8nyn
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa35RFPzf8b
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSwLJmNqAy
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwqjJXnVlH
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcyQnunrdX
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…
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKNCRY2qtk
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxWqQ9lU3t
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?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfLBuGedN2
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DgyO5xLV5
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUedP6JL1L
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeu810aY2V
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBqGrlXriM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2sFvqSSNh
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyBZxbo71V
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLy3ftn66K
Flamma: “First kiss?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghpB3fkWk5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzbbb21xkQ
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhd8wGR5MlZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8C4I4feaX
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG0smJkcMB
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzElczZP2I
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92xymw8NXt
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8xazAQABc
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T9xqJgVCT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY7V1bsZAd
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwG25k61L5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IqXaPMetl
Pain.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWvgfs0icD
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9TWMUhvcM
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3lAaNBXyN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeXX2nJxJR
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiFvmLH9k5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrDAEMocyd
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV95RoELZC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxpvxMYdZw
Louise: “Let me…go.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKPqvdjTkL
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBPgk4rwIc
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycoeKBL9t5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl7djG5mUo
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HchkLzLmC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpDOoBHCcS
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxldMGeVRsH
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rmvBZjU7s
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgST14TizH
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUKLcQgwBE
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHifSnJQe6p
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNQPiBRpZG
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4VNNV4PbJ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tIavWfbAa
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvijkXTT1L
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXRGIYda7F
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uJLLeDgP4
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50slQHs2Mg
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9GjmRarqC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVLhhZHi8I
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlTNyLpcRl
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlFWDqtrt6
Flamma smiled before replying.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CJeYKsP92
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6jaSyt2JB
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAyyua54RS
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguAcfN20Aw
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4QfGiO7RF
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo6VigWxut
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?
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoXQrUNwdb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq9FEZphhn
“Better we think.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvQVzXu4kA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0mQJNC9Zm
Colbert: “Think?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vNDfhsoMK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXhfjnSVap
“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…”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQK2Enj9h4m
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjro5jmqLb
Colbert: “But what?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NySSQGzKy
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPD1aWMiyX
“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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhZAFd52sm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcmlMCf989
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnbliSWmK3
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcUkNdxvu
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUUDmSZhdp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYumYex0vo
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3y6En2aYJM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSSoBxMs47
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7YRc9O0b1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAml57O8O
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiv2oaOTZGd
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeBhunn3k4
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6u5EkvRluT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgzSX2j8hO
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK4px4qgAx
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02X4AhZKgE
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbIQDbs39k
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRCfKzRnu5
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHFMnxXnYy
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzlBew1u2w
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5dAPILu4z
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRChhYE0XWB
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wFzD4P1l7
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5LoSYByGR
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW7LKFXzhU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzut58FYMqf
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzyK3BJRdb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspLQ8vjHoJ
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZqfNhm1tK

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak04mJB2Hi
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjkKHOSM2j
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVee1hpgaAp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoK7bRsPbn
“Yeah, for now.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODlHUMRpHH

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wdEFxR2xi

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMGFQRJ8L7
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLiAZ4nobl
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxkyiik3eI
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUmxFoDg8V
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PXSfz4Tot
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4aav4OElaB
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnARNgD0oVM
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4KptkHr7m
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaDvBLOg02
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PD8nuWehc
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GeJBdN7xf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jFHMZYF8V
Colbert tried levitation.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgavAFF5x1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrYZ8TJ8M
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp75VogyoW6
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1su2iXY9tq
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtnrr27bNZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4cQ51cUV2
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG2F6eR24G
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXXXUWZD2j
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUGeqh126U
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7KQ6aDgEN
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lq5ZUiOKJ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRNN27TOzC
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BzLzil1qq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCCHTpCyWZ
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu17Dnn7c9e
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncQLkkhu0l
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFYdRwjCfX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJsLEWLwHK
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?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6LVlw7ylu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaXWUaWvaZ
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORIS6mel9l
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkXXVnMtzY
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfajuQ2m2HC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyQhJGzd5o
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6ZEQq17Oa

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrArgLjFNU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3gEJaNsoU
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIZ658eagT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPuwoNbyUo
Colbert: “Understandable.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTI0Q4jdkpC

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdvIm2ymWg
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtbwfOqC0E
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzij5MoV4a
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBikgXjbVdE
Colbert and all non-essential workers left Tech to his business.

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuuAQZg1lr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBuoP9YALk
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lh1mQOfPj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJYlAc7WY
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyza12MywA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3UYtBzpIY
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLN2ROvRLV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHApR9s7QSs
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2yyFmV0Vv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIOUWTDz3y
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.

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXBWJRBfTc
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTS3A7L69v
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo3bms1qgf
Dove: “Got it.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqtKf7pYyR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fzHeR80HZ
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm3oQ7Fs2h
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjVVq3tooC
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOHN7QCbJZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtbFmOcp9Ed
Siesta: “Yes?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQPqWaYonp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDX0UGGgAk
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZZKKLqqYs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQy04sit9j
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?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGs814ziIj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEBDBea37B
Dove: “Yes, me.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KXWRNZgzh
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i3cI3Eu3y
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgFlAHo3UZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFAxZ71qT9
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObtj8NZng9
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFxNKp8gy5
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdasbVkFwIx
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJXxMvDcXT
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONENMFaRS5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCupT2EEEC
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfrJVD6bK8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci4KggMqwp
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtWbDaU1mW
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaJMYdZXuf
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5sfnU8Bhm
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINGe2aVe7P
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZW4WDpq2v
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdP9APzFjD
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhy0XZEN4z
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiHIToFAoF
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl6hBGNmFg
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i8sqAFKyD
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-?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKJEoR2Gmu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQVl5ArMb4
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfn1hsnAPrR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkbuboMFXa
Dove: “Got it.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKcBgfcF9f

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpl9fClC3R
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF5DTO3wWP
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOxFGiHysf
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChkuQQxdkq
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUzJbEoQBr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTdIYXeTK9
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtt5Kdse91O
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg2yl5QF1A
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe39cwsIPGP
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ov2QiT49R
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwrpYGpBXr
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7zQhrhEIQ
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdH1PSjFYBU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrobw0f2x8
Flamma: “Oh really?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQY3BvDsNa
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9J4vvFREa
She says with a smirk.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kTQk1Fy96
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDENZLTBjy
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fBZjv02v1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa5WPtdH2V
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiitzLT4vFS
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30bt04cIFt
Flamma: “I won’t.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnBunQhF27
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZwtXGwcvA
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16FkZQg69T
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA14uvwYtn
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiG3hzbFI0C
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab0csewV08
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO0Q5fDopw
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOqMyx11y4
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRnKKPeibO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIpd0HQ9vH
Flamma: “So you say.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAPWejVcqQ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVE5VOAM3a
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Go4vZ1Fc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvC1Dx6VWj
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkpNFnEumP
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWui194v27
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mAzQ53OFs
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYs0nTusAO
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjhfUS3g9W
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAouaJ1zFG
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡznYuapwB0w
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0BOTDBaMy
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lh9vhPt0E
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oQvKS2m7x
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRY7VmC48k
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInqlJRtH1Q
Dove: “…What?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7hvundnZ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjKxsTkN0O
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRCSGeKyEK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVha8K3Xv4T
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE32JBAc2S0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRS8Yn7a8v
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.’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4r5B9lWMO0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZnJ1FcgIq
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgPy1s8lqp
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqftKizyQ2y
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMULongzz9g
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt0OtkbHY3
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6Z1a9SA1X
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKJ8HTknHn
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hAGNMyLwU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpASfu0ycQs
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqJ59Dy2CE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb7azSAYTF
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLwIndy63b
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhn3SMfo23
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOlcozrlHz
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYQGDtFqsR
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DEtLgQWEg
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWZEv8Bt0
Zander chuckled before answering.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ683pjovwMc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoD2QGDKdbd
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu042gHKoS
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuJUp1Uqqk
Zander frowned before continuing.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpauJyLwbTL
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZsNnr7FNK
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnLnMvICWb
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhV4RsFsLB
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOS9RvysJg
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJNh9cXOIq
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAw4649bS5
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRWIDVQ8kH
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGjExVXNXR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZp0SqzPUZ
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oPUF7bTWE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRF0BW2LaI
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzDyNfzN6e
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiINFYUlwrw
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JV3MYuO7E
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCwfysDZ5h
Zander: “…A little.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexL6OfNlNK
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIljX4xw1st
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfCIBM1FVc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RqhWf0FrU
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYl8jmKY2O
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUuRIp8aJX
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwimUAl6KKd
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEX1e8T8gp
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4FRCkXwFu
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XwjiDRCsE
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GdkVKpuPA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMgpqk6reJ
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdhLEJ4r6Y
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTU9uPVJXx
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmPeAV6HxO
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5E35J0UVX
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZNckvLXib
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q3wekfnee
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJusjasqB7u
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJwSp509rj
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEHDLlo1Fq
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzAZaDU8ym
Kirche: “Such as?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8kX7kz1W7
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cCRSW3yg
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuDGxr9vBc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHExCm74TL
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWqLooBkED
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveY9wfBx7f
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0xJJfPOYT
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBc2en7e5P
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…”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImA9TShLTR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kiIXEQAbx
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4SJcikm4O
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZl2HeXTuv
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xJRpNC0GX
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T7sUUb22p
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BGZkoW2Yi
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDm4etYT8B
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E3RgqxSV6
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1pG6Nj55
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KB5uNPjxE
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrwEQ8RjfK
Kirche: “But immortality?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvXlw092ol
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZKOWwCCng
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu08H7i49y
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRaLn3getu
Tabitha: “Old.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOvGynn3AR
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvqhadMU4J
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvzvkUIVF
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYRkI3yEd2
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfxZ6G9VSC
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQqCvijvY6
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPu6sLaoRc
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XpE9cnX7P
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAQJUQrzog
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA46XPWakws
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEHyM7Gtva

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMiswrMiS0
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxcNGsaLl0
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquBS2vvKsw
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7ezsSYAnT
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGCFnw3Auj
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJk3Tmj6Oc
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigYZa02ayN
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGysioVFqIW
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXLGAbhVM8
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GcVvUL1Sw
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahvABSeaBh
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjZG4jZxIR
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzZ0ITBp70
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL99PuzCi2M
Tabitha: “Please.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn5TUSN678

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyA0a4uAku

Tabitha: “Pie.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGxyfE9M6a

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEejuRNfhYG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYa0mPPasS
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy4NRHR9eU
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93QYKbhHoY
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkvEtcH6n5

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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWwZqJAIOv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWh0nrYBUFs
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6b5V7VA1R
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE9nBOYGdu
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImIysNLWe
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfbSJdhCEz
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh38jMqLR2k
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aQUsJGLIW
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidLuBFr6Hv
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P1rGr3qnC
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx2eAD6NUD
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoYLUeUnbJ
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVRtTSC8jA
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cOsoxZmMZ
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?”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOIzDhmVDK

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBwmEDVEfW
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5sAZwj47O
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?”

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7L3cMvohG
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuS3sc855Zs
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.

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…

Everyone stared as the godly man finally made his move. But he’s not alone, Kirche was also marching with him as if she was already his queen.

Guiche: “A-A prince?”

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAUepFtH9U
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3JcWJG3h
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZp2TeSP05

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfvLygs9t1
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGmnLoVKhD
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.”
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1uWQOzxtQ
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutQCBltRXb
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.

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHhDx6hnLv

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.”
