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

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

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

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

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

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gGeTmZzjx

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPvU8XZhLK
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe0beTYT32

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJODoq3SwkY

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJshJvg9rc
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WLngjtqzE

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3CQPHc0DJ
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr46v2ugUT

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWioxx6kuAD

Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoQXwFv7Bv
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkt3jM70pIh
Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPEHgPoMlI
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlPDSyvQu6
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sAFmR1nez
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJp979GMiA
Flamma: “Yeah, I’ll explain if you’re sure this place is secure.”

Siesta: “N-Not much but I’ve heard that it’s the lost fifth element, far more powerful than the rest and related to the Founder Brimir. Are you saying-”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6W1Gxvhoy
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaZOGgIhyN
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdObaAzVU4
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikSBL9I8SA
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXUa01JpqG

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4wj5w35YC

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LqU1XZuyz
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdc6jD4wJF
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPpQMMbuy
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4QEdstCVK
Tech: “Information is the most powerful tool at our disposal, don’t waste it.”

Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡriXSSbyJ95
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU21iAntWoZ
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FujhjUWvc
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLV5tX1nwE
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikCCV4ftYI
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzsPI3rbEF
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaiVAdRA8O

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡam2eDVUyzt
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueiNYo15iC
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwUSbZTrGR
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0xgt7FT4O
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK7eUUeRaR
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtjYk8Vybe
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VcKhOojWx
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cEaYnFxKD
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwjd5fQNTa
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjtZkyXPYZ
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN9qG6JtOR
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jQVynOd8U
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0QjwxMcaa
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM8FOdFtaJ

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNe0RUWd2i
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOgODw7Ebe
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJhSXjM8u
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xMGnbzCz2
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySN1hZvRM0
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bSLHFOSDL
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VJDI5siMK

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

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

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

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.

She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

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

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DHobTaXUr
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJZUuI8EcF
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

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

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

Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdWnztNbSK

Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.

Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

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

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

Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.

193Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QRXUgai6W
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
