Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMet0I1jdfK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkrbnU8kkO
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8Cps6GMEj
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcDYFJxKLO
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui2x4IyYCo
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdkDEsuXE2
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32aqMoDpi1
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaSAWvnkxG
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ701zR4ddX9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPQI2P6CK0
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0dzP3KIEL
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HEk6aRKwz
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2xD6HgTeK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGEYoWEU3P
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsox6KWwOGM
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yzsDMyD0t
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADTc3y0VuH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3iUe5MDYr
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrRqQDqzc
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1al27Yvox
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2IoyAOh8b
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucuR5aLRUw
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yctkgtGoc
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo5zUPbweL
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInDT6gil2Q
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmLztl5Pf9
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcelEJWP0y2
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdN9DI36Cz
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVRsl0VH2c
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7JVhXcBkm
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPWg42mh9T
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMhV13feXP
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqXkLpfIlZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOzmLPovKs
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡau9fXURwLU
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEGIF4kul9
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo2uY0p9nv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjwZAZqAec
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJToXM3Uid
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7uEZi5H9z
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeIsMWqKwb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37OIySMJ2m
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFbxuSyX8B
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrA5tA2fkK
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0qxrxA6R
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLs8D7Ffdd
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi6IGwypfN
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhyJqPHmUc
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewwXfat2pO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmVLvvLz0K
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXcLoDBKv9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht29Vaaff9
Louise: “Kneel.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9YO4cQ6wk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5LNInzyVa
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWjfmqlWo2
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQAFsr7vYS
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTXT7Q8u7v
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP6xxM5Llq
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYoP5NXvAd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SQkBGQj3b
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwMlsnnheS
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14qkXFCIob
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZogP3O9gk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3ZYgCHGJh
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…
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HOADpqV0k
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D5b22ZuhJ
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?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsccVRpUGTq
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN496xHher
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fM0DkBgyS
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qn1fuXdaM
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSJxjXArvy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTXRB8AOWC
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOUDzOpDTz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzJNqb2juZ
Flamma: “First kiss?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONwUP3qn7L
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNKCBZELK9
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVzWrS99Sz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZBZ86v2eM
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHvv3z6JMp
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHvIWAouRU
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC6SdGSVYF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tV3wKeFju
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVWXtTC0fb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMTsDszRnL
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohaYYd0KN4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡortWX4Hxzu
Pain.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ARS5VcRFu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadfww41rwW
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjru6d72h98
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUj58G5n7Ki
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryc6pZ2JCV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuS4YALSKy
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjSUWYFc3y
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2Y2I7ogjy
Louise: “Let me…go.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DGo44wtL0
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuqjJ8jN0y
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI1GAaJLq9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaTgu6LFvD
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkaLJ4bv2o
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zQbYEJEUt
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3uM2rDL9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38CDlFikxF
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzskBa0hJip
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgoPaqGdGT
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35WYQ2AHkv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvq9efIHls
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGyBQbA9Ep
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprw92HgAa2
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquozBIW8zv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXz4QTFNJB
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjMbg0gxH9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7iExSlZn
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsh1IeOkjv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIAF8wDPfx
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51ZL2KyZ8V
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWrcitfhXA
Flamma smiled before replying.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mbPa89JJ4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nAcztvHBU
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOJK2x1ynK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeAQTxnJHV
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6DCtcbK9P
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDaaqey5jn
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?
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XpOqX7BWD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPafasAKRU
“Better we think.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvARbn88KMr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuwohRURoX
Colbert: “Think?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdv75krRcN
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuFu1JPxzN
“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…”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITkx5x4XIS
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZEt5BYdS7
Colbert: “But what?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVNXsgMsMq
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgBsgfmgmw
“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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyRfHvLFiY
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLLdQ9VB2v
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3UBju4ta7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBLT9uJhwX
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwce1Oio77s
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UEfZcak1J
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdnmotbMzx
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpa41KydL7
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1N1LtJ2VVr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HqJAkarn
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmoWASw50k
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQxm6GcNoH
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfbywmFssm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6qSCdziDy
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7yWiWEEfH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1mzLDtJLd
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTe18tK8sm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdEm7SXiyt
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnDA77vuzH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4oX7NKBxJ
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVGMJBZLr
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ko3UpQPJ2
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxhqwp2E0ek
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplmPvVhADx
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIIIpiqukv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7eTg1U2b8
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfEyj7AuhP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtT9TFD02E
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHDebNcErx
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyUHtxsi3m
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO8pgalgLh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aZWLBW2V2
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfxccEbzMQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrkcodgHnJ
“Yeah, for now.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojll3Or6Ha
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMqsMBmQXd
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkqppTVPU3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPNaQVpssF
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HXin1BhUT
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VjVzUw4ck
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT0EgDbzwF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11pFKDaThJ
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yiNBoEDYg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLRuD0a2LL
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsf1O2SEObF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8mBK1qjPv
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATLdZx5JtS
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOpHCiVG2a
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBUmov5g2V
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UNJscWOGY
Colbert tried levitation.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxbrlJHxsl
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDsHvS2B4s
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4NgIiLDH4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRyskstO3w
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIftYwrwdzH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENe99qvu5a
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99DU8d84WY
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyJJjxIlAT
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0mzDEGDH3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7psBjZq81I
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHoz3BXuDG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5PXUqQNYy
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K0YrPMHW9
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDae4M1ML9C
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8XgWwFBri
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMVbRIIZq9
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUxCuuIXU1
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TUlry85oc
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?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39s9DeGth6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzqpb2Sp4m
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnH7UFC0aH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnxaF8UVZP
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOSUeSo2wI
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrZJlLboXM
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZjyslXH5l
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06pcBzrDM4
Tech: ‘Like you could.’

Tech looked outside and noticed that it was morning.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1s5VYglAt
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DKDBwlt2c

452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X346ISVFQ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW161G8j6qP

452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNvAZqo91w
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSewr5p6XJi
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLmkMBhR18
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLuH5nS6LD
Colbert: “Understandable.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY07FmDY3e
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuswmGI2zS5
Tech: “Now, give me space while I work. Shouldn’t take me long.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlChrQIvjFZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0upVnq84x
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobl6I8vreG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfNkb7GXgb
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAe1DtP1MX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5pXkNYfr2
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFhOrtPzUV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWViqhRzRa
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKEayJIv6
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4A7z4JSDl
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ftwq7im8E
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv879gozLL6
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGpQ7yuRWz

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzidbnJ52B
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTdaTtCuTB
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.

452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFQHg5EEMm
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmh8D258wa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQIBqpNsL5
Dove: “Got it.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ2KAT2dpF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXFKNDOuBC
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJZSUJjddR
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RQhIxfe4l
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6Duq8XYnJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkR1l25DDq
Siesta: “Yes?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg0ww9HcjC
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEW1MHZY67
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9kE2Avwf8
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNL6sLFiMs
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?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyPDyFZG4J
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsY0XHBVE0N
Dove: “Yes, me.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvhfIUxfEa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkmGfyans5
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjp2TjovjJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q2SpMlSbm
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnj00vpQrRV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucJbZEMM5P
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzRxP73dLG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTNnm1GYix
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77IavX99UP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5Ml2UsBcr
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6nPD3LJwa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMD49yljOM1
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49JQxa5xcO
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAeiSyxCMm
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3wIO6gYQK
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVd0h4MFdR
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMPCdTEgOu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIX4zdEa6O
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l9QJZJ01c
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZc4Hw7DZPp
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjngPzrvpH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXEynfeNJRo
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-?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwIfg8Wxiy
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1KGvKq0xK
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UAM30d3Sz
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KTxL5jxDk
Dove: “Got it.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHV0ZFkWkX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoY7jsnTfnp
Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJecnIwMhD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd0tjgBhq2
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDG4Gm0oJn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oOm1WqkTR
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELzSuTujs
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT78PiEJ5AI
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr7RPz7u0B
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo7JftMm4k
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkeWyQ0V83
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cw5jQsNVz
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXs7UFzJZ48
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHwlyvPdPF
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6sCQIOTRB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVBG45EkJ6
Flamma: “Oh really?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHgWrv7om
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAUFZzxvoR
She says with a smirk.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu731Zs5G1c
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZvTZUNRX
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qpNDLXFVG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglqZ0KMVJg
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EVRuIJB9E
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFgi5PLd6A6
Flamma: “I won’t.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEmcpkC5Jl
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn39z1R0Hf
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRktXDyyKjk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsIj3xb3In
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMOGCgrKCV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8r4MAUPRf
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpCkj8mxwe
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTvH7BUhTk
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYC4fO8vEGi
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnZQ8iMs3t
Flamma: “So you say.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNz7vAXAo3w
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuClWUhTndZ
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjIGbMl3Bm
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaDqN1n0G
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToDtt5POyj
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfUXeqAqaQ
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN3v5yCC0j
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfNTTu2HuL
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBfYqhhEgE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98ijIYVuHy
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuOOJ4oFOG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCfUN6swo6
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZvntqGjis
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhh40qNSqX
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFSY7qOpjZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm9XSNFygS
Dove: “…What?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RsTvEBC9D
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjR1eXoilD
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCqr0prb7N
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoM211sGa5v
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuryWVjkZHe
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ17TAFQvRd
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.’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw8ssmE2ML
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt1Ekj4hNn
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8TPh8qZGF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFi4vzmO5r
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPuh3vJar7f
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XJ8cW0fdx
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKeyzuESOA
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkZEkqpPvg
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWwPicjX44
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNfp6HoWdv
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcgs4id4mW
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPSInuLmGr
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzbjBVm0Xw
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CIFwVPiFI
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzqMzZq3Bh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPFg3x6W7f
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJmAUELW0h
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SEuxHHNXC
Zander chuckled before answering.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghvqOv0ywd
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uWJkrbzDQ
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pnEAmevsM
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9HCZvQzw3
Zander frowned before continuing.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI272p4huxo
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxkrN1yUqu
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmZatPttYk
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQEoHT4d2fR
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr3lGv6aHa
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmx2vTX9Lx
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4D3ldBSlu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56MohVYrLq
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dBLdoDF66
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB31llurEI
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH94CU4NDHG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE1s8vooOu
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYJ6nQ1vnP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1W1fyALPkI
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwaVGjmacF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMAVpAHyWF
Zander: “…A little.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC07pSMmOr7
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5Oi66OJAR
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVm63ZKLFg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGfjdYoW1W
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20EHlNdBJ0
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PJMigALS0
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGbrlRkeJ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9L0bxwpXU
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Cbb1vvAg
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQrvYnGqwV
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx1TDWnqhv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM0vBWLevb
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt7GBc5nTB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LlaAsB5Dr
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vSMla9mYu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwvfCxyG4L
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20Zm2Z64v3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzYScFHi7c
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghXroKzXuV
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItFAnMTC39
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfRmcf21Kb
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2EWgUkt8l
Kirche: “Such as?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoObvFFxLF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbIMWnj83O
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G0GysT5yu
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWNjbaDexH
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAezKOcKcE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BK7tb1BDs
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxejlalvju
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQzCaaz2ly
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…”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYtkLuKY99
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjz1IncbLJ
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HXlCgDPXB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHANdxSl4K
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMu7MRO5wx
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9RHcCl5MO
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDqCWEJ6lj
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhj0MCOyWw
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqOPCkhY4j
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYVm193vJ1
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLWlFy25iX
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlojbA4Osue
Kirche: “But immortality?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeG58gMtTAD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64lCB86fm0
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gN1BWETQ3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvMG75DvLw
Tabitha: “Old.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZt1QVYkBH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX8K2cLxdi
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSAPFM5N0T
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡST43KXzYMo
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjKkdXqF2p
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDkuxEqkPJ
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5vAIsWHuZ
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCK3gjaoBiZ
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XF5cOjZbH
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z0XLPVc9T
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjE3OcClwE
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab8hkgKop7
Zander: “I look after my-”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLmQhk0peh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5tT6hAOPf
“Would anyone like some pie!?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0F7wBlheP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrkt3vkhw7
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkCQjEJe6j
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1GfvRPTMP
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X0HIwRybU
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aBttdS51n
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc7XqoBUSP
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPwj6b2Zvn
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRm86Ede5C
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG99eDeSJ5S
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8m65I29Hx3
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7tdQ9MYUE
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgBi0e7lP8
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqj6qEtUSDd
Tabitha: “Please.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRHJO58krh
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiCLuo1VHi
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRcnNeFIwF
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTbs06SuPD
Tabitha: “Pie.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ144nNQLgBC

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sLXWXyv9e
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaFQBOvSUQ
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtP6j3CqWD
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyTwvNXD6a
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccZZJIp82G
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ne5fLe4r3
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’

Dove: ‘Oh right, priorities.’
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwS0VEW8EO

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwYs31Ia1Z

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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQC6CRFWNb5
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJXz1nh8zE
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwQwNv1C0C
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhYw5pWTvm
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFIkdnei8F
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QKkFnVQQZ
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6brdpbzBn
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgyVtZLRbV
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4u934qfb1
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DFFThP9UV
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9UG10j7MI
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcfEqB13bw
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHeup4n0U4
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRwPdWOvjA
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfwS98Armn

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?”

452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN3oC7HWkG
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVt8tcEEaE4
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.

452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIozI9VBAw
Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

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

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

Before Tech can give a witty comeback, Flamma and Dove come to stand beside him.

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. 2 of Louise’s familiars were protecting one of the maids. But few had hope for their struggle. After all, those 2 were only commoners. Even with an extra maid’s help, it didn’t matter.

There was silence for a time. Guiche smirked while Siesta’s eyes widened in fear and worry for her new friends. But the three didn’t seem scared, in fact…

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

Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyxS3gfhhp

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ9hWZVl5i
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PZd0Phywj
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.”
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrRpZTbHqB
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio9ZNpShcp
Before the impact of his words could fully register, Tech glared at Guiche with his enraged neon green eyes. It almost glowed with fury, so much so it actually forced Guiche to take a step back.

Guiche tried to regain his strength before agreeing. But he couldn’t muster a word, so he just nodded.
