Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGT9W9k0IC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqpBQToVXC
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46hGQiQRhb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBhw0R1Kcn
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHJEe3H00j
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEfwCbDI8Z
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXEoCQieAg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSpv4aWvyf
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46gX6Xiliv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZJxSUB52o
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHyX7KrDzQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOThZGsCuos
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gClGpO6tK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdBDbh5pBV
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0QYP2K2XT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyLRgQ05UP
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LkZPzsO9g
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb9LO4VbrU
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBMuGMUobz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzad4Uc834
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFS08K4sfJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wJmfSh6jN
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHZ6tiRqY9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCH6X6kQgc
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEzgAYV7Pz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzBKs0lEv1
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SrXnH5R4t
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtSjI7BW4e
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPi8LzE4wGk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLedIq4TxM
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Pro8rG0vM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAF20Ew16s
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrQXU674dN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuTb10Xj5G
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5h32A10lT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJkcqiKVb7
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgO1KMaTW5g
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyBgrR8rJ7
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFRdNGSAEX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wEzTHTpCb
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwr8nrzfTQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcyKvXSEGo
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92Hv3A6dhe
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIhR4pYpi5
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0aqfWzWOZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoCMGFRQHe
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTLpXDC8pc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHpq29xIyv
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGpGpdph8T
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKoCY2zuQL
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuJELnMMh6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnsjhmhO1g
Louise: “Kneel.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UtJLXnzg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRZjEnPbHE
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Z6oupEcSG
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcAGPkCGsZ
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODdQuzNR3g
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoAT0oUACP
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYvYQ40DXZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ODk7j4K8m
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPfjnkHdeFJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoz0SKEOPPS
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7ZXW16NHk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP8IZEzxUE
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…
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7fwx7cBh8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUNrliajWE
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?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdosWt8ZZ4W
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7UkWXcFAz
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8n2SnkFv7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW2bv894H6
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbcy0SY2fD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMLlxIVlX6
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gjDhwGdPN
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHKQk1N4w2
Flamma: “First kiss?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObqTyYgTf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo69MpE4Lch
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1cI2Xr5jk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5wcSFDze
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59YgNk3pVr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1xgFx1AK5
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7t63Eov45O
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdLKBWpRmZ
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtUhfkkyoh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvljaGQJvU
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEOQGBk5Je
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLugRzKdCvA
Pain.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSeG4T0KnT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAvh3G6f1
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSE32I2lGnH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVXg2muOlN
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86b92MjYhm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3pmP6CYzF
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqLtRD2mNM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80AETFWaoU
Louise: “Let me…go.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8tAcUY95f
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT78KrJfdZ
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nYHd9kQDM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBK5thmh6o
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJBU6EVrr4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5UEgBUTeI
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgxK8WwTYB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgAgNWJzqO
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdRBxNC7tY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlZpMPubmP
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzklDm9dn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDyEYRe6jd
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7H8hhTpm3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIshR4Vsuw
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT09hS2chM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFCws0LgLt
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRqh4bNkgh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiSSz1XCxo
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIV8MrgMfU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcVZUu3RUI
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIOnfbhJt3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSiEMTyj4W
Flamma smiled before replying.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfAm7ePGDm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6vvos7BAZ
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIaoAoxuoh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJHPwIIbHE
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj1spFpQ4n
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNMAnGy9OF
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?
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL6QSXB9PR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYW3YbNv8K
“Better we think.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0xv9bbFQU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3Ksmteblm
Colbert: “Think?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUFXzvG4Zj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkR47yaipMb
“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…”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwqA31QTSz
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ECAFrsxXG
Colbert: “But what?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzyOLE2GOJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK6mw64G6O
“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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6LtIwaeze
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfTAjhgcOp
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4a6A6udl0
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2hMGpZ0dt
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup1Tz33gfx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1XuMqW60t
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2e5SObSSH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7UwGNwzGJ
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30epLsOYRM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2TwzRmqba
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NQSrTxuuD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq38M7wcGwB
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7f7u5ps2r
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IpdJMVdcE
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSIebAUbrC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv1LI2U59k
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJR3iMzco4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtUxKl8xak
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz0M5aGW8G
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfKvFk3NEW
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGxa2AuCec
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUqmGMgXud
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgazpk0z63g
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2W9BgR55O
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zVafF6sa5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Fk39er3b
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2lMfrQwdv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6LkboRNwy
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOie9jdXeh9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizCTuMLEb9
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeHQBeAf3Q
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDAMVCwls9
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVhbRFUorg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UsS5fW6qe
“Yeah, for now.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePNx2KcKaC

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWS6eGIkMB

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GKYCbrYOg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMU2c5WmLb
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJldIb0w1u
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdohLJOzkom
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6xmFJ2i7p
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElZK8Qdj46
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WY5QW7a3t
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlhmQforyh
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2RoZHBYH
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNkAZYBAfR
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5rsvLeMXv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLyPVRqEkB
Colbert tried levitation.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPjPXWTVoT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV1En7guSf
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuszcMmTNrA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsoI5Cfg6c
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStDMxZhuw1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5iOumM9fh
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqju3EBIoU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy89juP7hQ
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8PyivXqGE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtELMem0yVN
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeifxGv8ci
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJUe7eQtJ
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdUOPdUPdm
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ40UNV7oaf
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7i15q95P5
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXahFH3u7f
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdHO0wvuNq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qzKNJjHUC
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?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpddhjHR0Vo
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYDqykVR4Z
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0EilWGkJZ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ249jzoTGX4
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0xY2AJ63O
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhNLyoeYmK
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlIw1Hxuvg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBWUuK1fDI
Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxaVAQlDQl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwYekumyRT

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hh4PENuBY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEgtDX7eUy

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GNi67MVyY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WNeXkl4Se
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhmpMbp0vO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS4vseOKz6
Colbert: “Understandable.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6jfGWbrmE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOwMdYvds1

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkYx6H58Tl
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm8wy3mSAy
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtjk0IOyzB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0sCqZqPhx
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6GLjIBvxL
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcKMUzWMja
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy6M7FRY4A
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoap077pzT4
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3YyXiLb5v
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLueSReGad8
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKyMfY7y8a
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQVDTQ30nd
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oCDKwJDI0

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCcmoSf7rj
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU2HjhrF4s
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD9gBU5Piv

Dovahkiin: “Um…”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp32rkUIfT

Dovahkiin: ‘My dragon form is Dovahkiin so that’s out. What did Flamma call me last night? Oh right!’

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdmXj509a7

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FjtvsFJa6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYE2zG6zhb
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlh0W6GUel
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Jpqjzvjv9
Dove: “Got it.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEJC4hmMYX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf3Cv2jmGI
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOWx2RHVuo
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKaHjiIUCn
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnOV7hNtBu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTekEM7WwP2
Siesta: “Yes?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7GKxC4K5A
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MzE2sbmQD
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfhRqO49fk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rzztUvEBQ
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?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDri8uiLa4U
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gFjuQlbK
Dove: “Yes, me.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJv32o1ohR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74krdCMVx4
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEb2Us0bQZ4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWy9ja6pkSM
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7crBWAPvS
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToRKZ8OROT
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSW6JIOGEpY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvl3ExbQZD
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6XR66GGX0
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpgJpt4yR4
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjK5u0qrJzk
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUWNetbDth
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvBzlw9Bzt
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUNzlxOZv
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS3S8YURIs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWRtq84Whk
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkA38OSp3v
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4VrV2ogpN
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrncB6TJWs
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX3AxWVt6R
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZo7eZYQ9W
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzpjaJavL
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-?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUKN2ozNqu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU29R5SnSrl
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Usyq05I6a

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHCqm6Fukc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXyfrEo6hx
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe4znEzxBv
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwL9PqjipA
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu9nkFZhjf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJF80WwHeC
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4YoKowFaJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdw0n6xq7rR
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvxb1gDDzT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzbGI1jFol
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeVKzTWCk9
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6201U0u3Gi
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQCaGtnpqZ

Flamma: “Oh really?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81b8zPLa24

She says with a smirk.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbe3jomPSi
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwqJCYTTO9
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYm1m81jsE

Flamma: “I won’t.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOrMBhZN6K
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfvY5EkJPq
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanpumjdulW
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZYHDvvbwG
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnWrE6N43n
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwpBG5jbwH
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQHwza6Ou3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1C2dz4klp
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YnnnTFPmh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubQA3v6F2c
Flamma: “So you say.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59L3205yD
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dZblJNedA
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39VMmWVf5J
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWifaqTFFF
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpLpUbloBu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSWvKiT53w
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVdcAY5jWJ

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIjyBl2njM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP4d2rDVpC
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9xQqE1dbQ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5ycWncJlG
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTB36Sxc7t
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfElogc05a
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrTNsJ0Se2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFovFT82E6W
Dove: “…What?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbvuSA3AN1
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoOnjEI6yn
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw4tmMi8gB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylB9j77JKL
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJN84MxnUgO
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvHphQdTti
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.’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6X1NzyP9R
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecSiQJg5HT
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUO5pPUcrg
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQMKe6fMlF
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgKfVhfYzL

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mXb3vwCj6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNHS5Qpn3i
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSepSPbgA18
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfzA9L3Ibf
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YATnq2U17
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqfc6D1594
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKSuWP2cZn
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOd4fTDquBF
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHwGbEfgG2
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCfvMpvqPh
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe50hkKRTBy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceqPmWH1pN
Zander chuckled before answering.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ913FprwyMr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfnjaLfxPM
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ146vTQ64JE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eD0LxZ4Q2
Zander frowned before continuing.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcZb80fWwC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI4ITymeZP
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh52paSfBzT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFRJkqgzr
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA0jNLl7NC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc6SIt8jB7
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F90O89jdP
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQRamzr3kZ
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXpoiThz1y
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak93Js2NFi
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJppq56Idb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bgfveJCxV
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTqhXzQqYB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBw5vtQxtd
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvJwvZaBfu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyqa7Vhnf5
Zander: “…A little.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNtUaf6oH7
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUPnvcOCgo
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2YfWZCVqY
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJs0Fpdbfnb
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFduFuXQxV4
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oeZAYIoRs
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53vOLhgbgK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi1RN8a4kY
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3nbhVCgYy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YQGcGxGvx
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeJtxiJSVq
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbE0PpldZQ
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOvZb8XKQX
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu4i8ZlVcz
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3GNrQBqCW
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdFphZLz6B
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVhT0PiAkC
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8hlYpp8I
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhTRJTepHb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfazgmkKpL
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTZGiGz3us
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswQJPcTqv
Kirche: “Such as?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfYdTdfwEB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y7pcjWdY1
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp3XLnDcEW
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZHRjOWnba
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgiB40jdfw
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0htvEtHqiy
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNPUk4dzll
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsrAl1pjwi
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…”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtReEHtaCx
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EQld6KSSc
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLaodB7PZT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZjUUpkWLf
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7mt7KwB2Y
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTZRrxNwbN
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsmESsqBxR
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4h456aRu0Z
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMr3BagWzb
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOxO7nig29
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2xevECtVM
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr5qfQ88tr
Kirche: “But immortality?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahkcwlMSTu
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ7qOQ2w3R
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqP5pD9c1n
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj1nGAVA3m
Tabitha: “Old.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssfmZ6ZQ9D
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvBYFv5HPT
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpPouk6O5k
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCY3Q9Gn1A
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMoQEiaENJ
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpRXhvTnDn
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv41i1CGzgf
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBU7MxJDlZ
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4EMqaInVE
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKt91ZcU8M
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnQ0Yg37DK
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuazb5kPeFR
Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCLGZaG5o8
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiZQjR0vAl
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAqeaqag1F
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5N1y1qAXq
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqevf3I5DFV
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡov5EquzEM4
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYxlZNeIsT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP5FPXl1ep
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.

Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4jldX4PJc
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszKIh3FSuO
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAX29Yf3bED
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCffy5FrWpP
Tabitha: “Please.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjhRpytjiH

Tabitha: “Pie.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeMdXRKn7u

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvJs57mp67
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBMjI2MuyC
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJRdN4CJSy
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzK1X0xwVo
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.

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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCy0vo0Hznp
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnXuBUJxAv
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNA7X6GLxU
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOpJx32T9X
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi5GMjvHcA
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYRFtVqJRb
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM60U6yfHBh
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZdDSSTez6
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tR8YEKLf6
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Xzvqb2f2K
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU392OYmjcT
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLVaNIu5qt
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.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolNTOdiJ0v
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz2LfMEv2q
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?”

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZiGZapRUB
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5kZvNvvyB
This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

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…

Siesta goes to help him but Guiche made another gambit to save his image.

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.

Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboI4tREZNr
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mJU51BPr8
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.”
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg32eoTl2d3
373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdC7HI12s3
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.

373Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5xmqXbHD

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.”
