Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy46vDzOxAz
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvUZlZWCKA
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tMCLSA74d
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZEox2kV0B
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5Y2frChTw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxT3bw4iUFf
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmk5T7mq8A
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHv2MVDK0P
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYChkSFBSPF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxVBzY40RS
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGtp0xFTdu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEICvlrM8xF
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlijUV3MGK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zFpjYF2w0
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh7ycMdU7h
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXtipP2ox8
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJ80oYL5AU
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4K0hvnR8FA
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpvPYSwtkO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbVEO86eoh
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe0QgSFW7j
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6bsIRDB3O
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7c6JhLYiI1
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmWzSgEp30
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gjE7iWODm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWid9L5vdph
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVVrFOhG5Y
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zlp14QfK
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtr2wXJSWt
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPXbZgIjrG
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl9m822DWQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTnDeIFoSI
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhWQXSHIkM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ztOwTSoyv
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpETLrNJqFT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfvtAE5nTI
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6KUPpcF0o
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCklipaqcp
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JB2kgm8vv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaunlwuyIKm
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptZ5u7dzEs
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwXyyfRuVd
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZRygDx2sC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavMR1XsBGC
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9h5aNt5FQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv77OMWjlei
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7fc8RFTRQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEoCLJrk6y
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfib8vBPjmv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tmKrI7VJ5
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOqzyJqWta
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFsT4IwGalK
Louise: “Kneel.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLY3szsjocf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1c0gLvFt
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2tn3Csat3
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eAcqQTvIl
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhnnqKuHR5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2Kra4l7pM
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQpAwPDTZq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfHBuOkWnF
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFD2GA4fg0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05zNyYMDpV
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVCxhW5qe6
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAwd1K6m65
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…
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IfXXiuXvR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FX6zotMQG
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTGNUKIUSy
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2NlkGU4OI
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeIQjOFUf0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDBRPxqeyv
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLK0Wy08jl
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yU4oyetCu
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ryg8jZAdL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IliSFGmu0
Flamma: “First kiss?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCZHX49dn6
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP5lnVumS6
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Kgn6ZM3d
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjDPNnJ0FD
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0If8WQLVZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8ALpZwU5Y
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNASN2I2lo
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNDUUHMvlZ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzzHFUh9Fg
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpqFk95Ml6
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AX3CimDGn
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1xIpklWjv
Pain.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8e7nt0X6T
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1tXAJvUma
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5HI6tvJcv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2LKSFxpii
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S53FpDoBi
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a4FRSNlB9
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wfMjfp6YO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyk099h90XM
Louise: “Let me…go.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG52si5cP7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MNXEkB8mL
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynXDvMB9pB
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdwzCrQTqe
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDJD66JbGc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEX1Mj4U1y
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2fIcsyxOd
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeZpBKu13l
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtAOdKN5Jx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3qT1vkf4s
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnTYLovV06
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhW5CIRu01p
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIFSYHrgkC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZoRUJf6AUT
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBab5TXv5k6
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQn8aO3gmp
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddJy75cD96
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61fGIBJFBc
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85zrRvBqC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jWY0XgQ0J
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijcJMjgTKZ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI9MD6TMdk
Flamma smiled before replying.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf8eIJHrsE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7Y2DjABDr
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HUmbtT0eT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDND7dsRFnv
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHsNz7ZtDI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdClXdxDOF
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?
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoKYNVY77O
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0hYJKWOce
“Better we think.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXl0HvJTlWj
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgZ4IMREKD
Colbert: “Think?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQCCip7hL5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqwKKp6AKR
“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…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKndunDtxI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQ2zwnb86g
Colbert: “But what?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxiuY34atI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH08udQkQ2
“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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUzA9foj10
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMYOoZaEMx
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB4txP6Qfb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5K3MDEsc3
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4miWyEDmfH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMIvQvAs3l
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuDvzUB5Dp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFYrc1rHcp
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxruLRvyN3
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PEwHsXy2P
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJgDQsby0a
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKd217W3Jy
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDyfMwpFtR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyOHWYoPJ7
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5sY2aISFl
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqQ2rGys0j
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6oFU97gXO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwW3FepT94f
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ608SSERmTU
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22LpoU4H8Q
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyQUk6ByvV
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ2dZ7delR
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡds4WE66U53
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFZIgKHIYb
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LzwSR8lbR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpG1967XTm
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4aIj9wO8I
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YYxD73hHW
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ztksC42j9

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjpcIkj4ft

Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iejfUglQM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIF1Q3bwjAc
“Yeah, for now.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RICRo6WZ8

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cUWFeyOsF

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5VHiebHKo
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJbXnKyaYu
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVKid6eLmc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRW9J9foeNt
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFldmaro3OC
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0wMujPJLZ
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZyIEGaLQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHlY7CQ5C1
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul2UnBbql0
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxKGY5Af5V
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpBRMpRqwD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThla5ymtWI
Colbert tried levitation.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptDRKcPQf2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrG1DrXKmEp
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3QPuxfDEx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAZXay2a9N
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBAsxeE2vE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAI3SVKxmY
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgP5CMOmjiG
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gYpxshNx
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tStMWru28
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVHDclKGo5
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2m07jRZrS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdzvIkFvgI
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1xU10jkJP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXTqwVp5NR
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFM9vzANVx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk735xQkoM8
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUetmoGEi2D
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAw1JmLKxN
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1OyquovMo
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNFRQ8vAhn
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoixFLBNIEk
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1NCwIbKBA
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I3GQhrpsf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22kVuR4sWu
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDTWkQ6ylm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37aREOTmFl
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymrsFceE2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCNNKBiunN
Colbert: “Understandable.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeDVD5nJKB

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFVappUFmE

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8c2NAbinuG

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiYjHx0iqJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zjE6JMOom
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzT4tgypVu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwixpKaq5ED
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX0Kz35vvS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aMEzT9QrI
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo4VH8tfh5

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvHmJObdbO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxct1qYVqJG
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4vNW0KJIf

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYz4YJ2qC0
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyaK9ZbbXH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfKlOPonyu
Dove: “Got it.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx3yKrXcGm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hsBA87gx6
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbxj5fCUsX
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg7z6UrzqF
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcu0CVHHKR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG9aLC7CBD
Siesta: “Yes?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsjI9FlW5N
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2X3NRzQgw
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArBFCW2eA2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaISQGQ9r5
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?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9W0ym1ynf
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9M0cs96m7
Dove: “Yes, me.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNTSogsjxq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNNNPLifKz
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ue3lTcQe1
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Qd43o4C2t
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdj77rEAFe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMoiTPz913
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrOv357ViE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbH5tWdyyVZ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kTWTVNVeP
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡle06tP9uGC
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaq9wYw0Jd7
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuFBwdwhC9
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouw6JT5oPY
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9UlwrStyg
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZMmIfGr4R
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2BlQ9TdoU
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIh63s46iT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaxqYyIyPt
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTpin1l0xa
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wlv5rTcka
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNScAuqkhDL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRCXzS8Kkh
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-?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8yd0467hi
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqDcqi3xMc
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwluqRiW9V
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfeIXXTg11
Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoFTUL1iVd
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaqt5mfoZ1
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLy2NyW2jrw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJB2IYG3rQ
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3q1TqXMGq
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxIIWVYEju
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mIj3X8iv8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw54P8nlGXI
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJRM3ocCwc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCoRTVyEM9
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDvaQrkhDH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh7IxDUGBL
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0XiRy1keK

Flamma: “Oh really?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWH9MSq4DN
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjsmKXWRZF
She says with a smirk.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OCP3l8m7j
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7aR0MFhHg
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b7n0BcJov
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpHYetlLdQ
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmfVOJFzY8

Flamma: “I won’t.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvPJFRxmUh
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBU4WnFxLC
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9mT8aYYw5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqo7uGDaad
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8RQXIGLMQ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5CV990PAl
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxbqvv4DVl
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiazzBFgo4c
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmT262CDsS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLGH1pNqY3
Flamma: “So you say.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUrVn9lgzT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6JIWtVhxl
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR7TP83oM6
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu4WXrOWwZ
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5hjp1mZF
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4fyIjoJF7
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBf3HOmT6Z
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQYSDryS0E
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukWCYJ2gLE
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ayn9n6sth
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQU0GnP9y3
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFTZfoPjQK
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXDnJUmI3W
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqlU4HWcuA
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MYYYQA7fL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf3RP0wouR
Dove: “…What?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcRRFS7mQw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseGN01CPa9
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyg2YNGjRN
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHTMoOgFE6
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXd6Evl7bLe
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNypuPZHmw
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.’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYy8k9Dd80
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV5OIabVnJ
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWfg83oIw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAd23cdvKc
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyodip1T8LO

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbGnogUvlT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu0LI1kFwS
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc84grzGvzv
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5cneaR6iG
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0e74l3hWST
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fP0n3h1O4
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERvybWV0eA
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqthBytWQs4
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZhygkcg1V
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1pUMV0De3
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2uYmOiBgR
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsKRDaSRv2
Zander chuckled before answering.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxm5pN5I6S
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36nL4xIDxv
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH2qmkeTTu
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBT1Et4Hjl
Zander frowned before continuing.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1g1VcQ609
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt9cGkWouJ
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfG0AHVD1PI
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItZ8yTxzGW
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSdQ0iNay5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegjdcEAx45
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71SNVsWsVp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV49ncZEpj
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJF2uGuu5Gk
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxte1qUtlLx
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MWRBDUW7k
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKgcbF4Y44
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTD0UZyv3E
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVku3xDVbLt
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSOvEuSU70
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFrqaR5Zfy
Zander: “…A little.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoDn742HrJ
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj8M52yL0B
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgCkLiX5AH
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRmAEeA5HN
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqLSrQLd8m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0jggS0Ywe
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTMH22w4hB
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTzXEufjKv
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMhuhPOrgc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6AuYKzZlPr
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopNNuVSlhD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyde7Zyah8T
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAc1A6JllY
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSJReLpAN
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i7Ursc7Vb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC0nNiysaP
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1OxEMqGCD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xIBJWSWpF
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGwlFSvREK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoRVDWlx7Q
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYomnjGqsMM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhyRv6wOrY
Kirche: “Such as?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1lV5Cn8K2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhwQBWtNtd
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4f0xGKHEr
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW2HLXOp0V
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2m3M1wI42m
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWPUxhFEkM
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sSulwTP9e
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1GosbStLk
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…”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWrKvMQLNS
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKjieo4he3
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpI5ey3rXY6
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrodsBJcH4y
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITsZUrUNql
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebMzgyVTBI
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkJrhna47
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NcTJ0NSFI
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U9fohk3zL
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70OD2GQw3h
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A4Ge1mhDO
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVmUWwEU2dn
Kirche: “But immortality?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXIha5vWDV
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4Kz0PqpFb
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0r0CWpCz8
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTusTlu0a4
Tabitha: “Old.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R6kQcyd6C
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxQrgMyFmj
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqVppKu09h
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQm1EehSpfA
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWC6FmdCybr
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr9FlZZ85u
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFt8UQEmTdW
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZ5OOsM2yK
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE0NXzOc3s
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXimIKKMDzH
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe7n2JQkOE

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAQw6BTRxV
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQiJcoaLQ1
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw5caVpXaT
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ085Gkl4NBu
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFLOzD7Chm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeKp6PmJzG
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyIwwZr9hm
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzpYqaPzeA
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKNJbu74wi
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BufK6VKXj
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gG5Vs3Jaw
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2PlR2dyZX
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5BVvD88yK
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zQ1uVGRfd
Tabitha: “Please.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8scuw9dzG

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqKPrh4E90

Tabitha: “Pie.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ014CBT73fN

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUamcb93l5D
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8IFqrGQG6
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHKoL3qDZj
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQtV1B3YnU
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5Mw2v8eQx

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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RDIFYS0Zc
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdDGUozqZn
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynrXnFNqVx
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb204rJ4JGQ
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsvt40R25i
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4vvKutO7d
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeRvfA1wS2
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBPXngpbb1
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSBDnmUOsD
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzbGMUihxb
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPa4BkcCOM
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lSMiS2WXw
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp29bfE6a5
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡos80E0po5q
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?”

357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡim1bMnp8ze
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLPrvc64h3
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…

Guiche finally turned around and faced the man towering over him.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mLcQichtb
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DupSVI5dP
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.
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMM2OhB0Kz
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQhU3obssV
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.”
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqOMBRPTSp
357Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHnOdh6ge9
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.
