Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXDrE85RpA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTmCczKgiz
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0SbUbF77n
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbq3gIYspdW
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6qk8cALsC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETDEy7wvQy
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMLbBHxWHk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu980IKy9s
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSdEboLwnr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhKtSVxFQ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QbE6x4fMV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4swrvziiJ
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfsg6nrZDb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocZI3ts4HP
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq18oxBhWSx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAZHCxoe8q
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjebnIrOlz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyqm9CvtTg
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikAB7PfzEk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcwDm360wF
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsth4G9fF5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVJuDvXJiR
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ujfYeddQR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTTIFlP1OV
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4Ql23K3DK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSrtan5Qzj
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lUhPihRCA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOSWXdMbPq
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzm7ycHSWYj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSS26Zk3OJ
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjMR5Vqv3q
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPiriGrEWn
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS76vdTMOJy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv1Ohc3Rb8
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEe2OORaQfE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHxIEFZn75
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEIqYJTNF7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YzbwCBgKj
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0vbVWSAEz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZHMN0gSy7
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfQiMaCGrb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotLJ4DRcwq
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRcWjSx6aY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbRemhLWXT
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQs2jY22tps
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmgVXxd2n
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbZOPxSP2a
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZcGMBA7Av
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFNkDQ5FV1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88PRWM3ACl
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ErdSWGXuW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjW4ACAq16t
Louise: “Kneel.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbI6I6EgEG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vJ1hWYBCx
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTWzvLBdyh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWs440ynwpj
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Dc5Srqa1J
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oBmEIXnUD
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekFMl9yeUt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmo23JCcSQ
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30CZITIk1u
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOc4s9joMY
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjmiOsIO4g
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1j2CoOmQV
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…
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISjn5023NX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0cGouxhbs
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?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtbEjFv1OA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl2QbzY8dK
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREMt1krjZR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUkSLbfOc9
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7Fp8nutKH
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPAkn1VNYX
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DR9Lpas50
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLraPCTJ4bd
Flamma: “First kiss?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja0surppFo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhPvGgHBX1
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYWNnvOyT7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULhBap0uhn
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTvJ6m5Ljg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxc3RB51gea
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdBPIjarbh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6aVTcCnnJ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbftKWprsh5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp7FAUuAGfg
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoyTez7CyN
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJWCFjUh2Q
Pain.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxT6o2iL2c
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYTkbFYicJ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF4fYAVhUj
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHfJP1ajMf
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1uaFIXHmX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa76CbhbTZ
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5cUCPX3GW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5pWOGC3OR
Louise: “Let me…go.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVgNGYP1H8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALnzqCrfgt
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAJM2gV6FY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rMjSUIluG
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOU3BW4CAP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGwz2QAm3p
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI04ZjmYpaJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzFga84rvv
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMi2lNeKmCk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvD43V0C7l
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JmReplOA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafxQT5K0Xa
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vqBdEF0Un
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVKRG8JR5u
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXmEVMBrbe
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFNzm5KQI0
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVf9g3RJCaM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OnGiEdIh7
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnEA2WkeWC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6IkS7hftB
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9D6tkNoVP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3vfJGYXBl
Flamma smiled before replying.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oseRTusnl
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbEJRBr5TC
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNigLLAjOf
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cYKXiCL1V
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAovr1StwU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0TN0Mvis3
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?
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dxEvf6WrJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYMtkfbVkT
“Better we think.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNyxXGVDGQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PdM1eBTpt
Colbert: “Think?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwRHVRiToA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXmMmLtS6I
“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…”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcQcsIE4SB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMIG96ufWW
Colbert: “But what?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWl8HNtTLf
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHidmSDuBh
“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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrv5HrokMI0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRJKeuwUUh
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyNNEovaYQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr3hxLvVQ9
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCB6DA3SVk1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrGFXnlJqc
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcCpMjSsxO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvXuElOuVd
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWceqyVdIW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqSJ54R0jx
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6JDysr0m1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVS7FHZdb7h
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItEZamCgfO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD2zFzJXmj
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfemUfwnMtb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8j9zLn4Il
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJeUyJg89c
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkd0uG6ujzc
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSEU2HuPtC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52IlDGUOCa
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvWrXcYGUB
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OkeS4zmFu
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM7Dwjtezt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXllwkMqCN
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjba4dLXyy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsm3nx6zq9
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMofaJu1aM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx40W9NbMcO
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTXHfQvdvx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKNhlqzoXz
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G1jLPJOl5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDwY81Ys43
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc2IlgFtsz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nx70AgI7K
“Yeah, for now.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon7EqKBjp0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI41q3CEvR
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsVN9OeaSg
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCW4VaOr2b
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUQRe4mLMW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKR5L0SKnV
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4glL2pwv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Y06IdoAd
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡahPfKsrkr7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSKscWotlo
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG5W0Qbh1r
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPSZi9QmFH
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJ4AnXOJRO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47uuDwCUR5
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG0t0XRf2s
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQnq6HiGjQ
Colbert tried levitation.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXajVKaKVR5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9UvGGTqSz
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhJJDhUP39
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xNNZXrGhQ
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCKbNoGRC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMtEATbLpM
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrruO6MldP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKuV9gcA4N
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1C4pbzD4ew
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WIE1SqNlp
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNB3ZGIbyE
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ24A6Adhh
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99UEg9VdDh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHO73qWOS8s
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcY9CNLsj8U
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsmdL3H2un
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7atBmqAZBx
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSXE6LCwcl
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?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ4EPnNiLo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LvvwSepzk
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcfOfUgYHM
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2QXFcn2yF
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlCArcyX1e
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAuIxEKpZA
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9ndqSNQv4

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HtM6ZvFN5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9EOuVI7fb
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4uwJt9dQh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ70FEmdQf
Colbert: “Understandable.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXByn2Mbq9I

Tech: “Now, give me space while I work. Shouldn’t take me long.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFpa9jXARY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlR5cyfkSKd
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47jGmV5cr7
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbCuwtaTRK
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEqywZ5fLU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEXf3854El
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJ3ulN7H6I
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdnNfU5j3G
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDp2fSGNmQ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRCgk2xXEy
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliXFWdsKKU

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hg0wgkFvE

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xsonqAeRi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeUy36n4Pp
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9tIajfLrl

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.

Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”

Dove: “Got it.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqZ6RF5Z7R
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXsCUWgckC
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfLNSDx4d
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XECDlFW6i
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmE5cEHJZt
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVEsyIhEDL
Siesta: “Yes?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYz2C9UYbcU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGVicjQqsJ
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjKtOMHmY8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAQQ0NbnX7
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?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZry9v810E
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHx0NjI54d
Dove: “Yes, me.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWAIV3HoGs
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ7UwxfkNu
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf633nIqgW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReXF9wpqiG
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPd3thXmVI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXeusizVVC
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMPplPdm4x
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEVTNU1Hbh
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfaaKsJ7jr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZgpP9bi7
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvArHjeYTnT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz1hbD4rkF
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7jVEHZLpb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSa9P4oRTLJ
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtytLkVln5F
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMSF6KeDIU
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFp3hh3OyLX
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOEmQabOzI
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYxPf2LWGa
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLjZ4KA15v
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡituzo3vfph
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQUXOW8hyN
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-?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmSNZrEqrT
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbF5WfioCr
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNNvPMUFRg

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhSVQamblZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhs3nc9a3X
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJA4bJdiz6B
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeywfnJYKP
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZEz8SOhYR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V7oWz8Npa
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd1ejLzGf9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLlzplIa5t
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVi4GLnJrKq

Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgM8VR1T7x

Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMyO6rmuu6

Flamma: “Oh really?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNZQnwBdKn

She says with a smirk.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztKtD9jTNW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAhTNF3u3f

Flamma: “I won’t.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbaBDsHSF1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u018TeX7D
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X9XhPL1FC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AOXbpj332
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnuRqBj5S0
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6YlsbJKS9
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSyXQ7RbH8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTNTWHjOPN
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KYRC9V0ZU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oeXcjuG2B
Flamma: “So you say.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy6H4qf5wY
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybzhqhVddG
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHYkapbVJ8
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCb54gmOzk
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd6znwPrUA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJHxEbuw2O

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaQ0QTcSDo
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ISyazOObd
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrFAQZttVq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ9kRs2ChL
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZr6asGHrD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNegHPCJGc
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhbwXPTWG2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQcYp6YqBp
Dove: “…What?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySxiJ9nqHC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vNneN0QRk
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlFIDjm07H
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pYm61uMtR
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdxGLrMVQ1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqD7vGUYgXb
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.’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSC2ClXPk1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jgbRxe1Yb
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGx99IUvZR
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZStagZrkE1
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRsy2J7Pgq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0yLap480d
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiX5qvmTOJU
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RMf3MpZon
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRraX4UrwI9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqFh833zTy
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCHcpAbv8I
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hM7sj3qOA
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7AG103yEP
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURHlkBmkhT
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FgrPpN96C
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYK3fFozsd
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFyklxxmoO
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8PcWyquC3
Zander chuckled before answering.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CV6B3YAp9
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BNI2ynAlL
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6TczOp0C
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVcjcrFMn1
Zander frowned before continuing.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE469RN4Xp
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7MIhGUPZL
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8RCpgDpwq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvPbwh3Pnf
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs5OThNiDl
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuYLIQLJPS
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXkRzkecvr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJmGA2Q8qh
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vKuEczadF
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKB7uA2tg5
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdJJEOCEUr
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelDkhVrRBx
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0hDspUVA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkAnvzasQf
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO32fpwnKTv
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqX0hJSbV
Zander: “…A little.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb8381KcKK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9JDTxh25G
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ju9zX20g
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjM7X5Hvgb
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxnzOVCZGA
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0901lyMWJb
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qWcl04fLV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDcAf9i3gj
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBJtuMG6jI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ977ob5TF5t
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLBeE2eooa
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHElMoPXSU
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvmJbZWQVZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78PrWZVwoi
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8IXoOeUY2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b5NKFAcU5
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNewZNT1A0o
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5LypcmKLV
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJioODLHULb
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKxC2mQHlr
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK94TmCxal1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD58DjnCCi
Kirche: “Such as?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZ65yuxh1u
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lwHfBfAXu
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCbJFXWV6B
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcPCSvAiyt
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK7XiONy9R
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXT4UdK2q6
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk4ZDKFclq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRfPNHrdtM
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…”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsveaVRvzPy
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Tnl1Qznn
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8iKAkEQKq
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO947aWqJyh
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKYU5PEzqN
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwyJONAIpx
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKBwdNTNg5
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarZ0Gzp5gv
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsp9bBKYuk
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoXmX0nL94
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2b0uOzk9zn
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOrF7Bzc3K
Kirche: “But immortality?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMpqgYSWGG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOeCYWMtJf
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03PIq03BKp
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp6Tr3zEGA
Tabitha: “Old.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qgodHuSKi
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQzxsil0fH
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZfMaScS2a
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pYz9hBpvS
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTd7eRVvUh
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVokZCz2Gn
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mv0sG46tl
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlZTGaGILc
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nVgZLSNfJ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjm0hUi4tx
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkd3P5OuqI
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34eI7RVWIB
Zander: “I look after my-”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTEjkktqdAc

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMBp1IKRRK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwptOrC8Mv3
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nPl3xuh6b
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00cakdlJop
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8BJ9YI50g
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgC4AXg4zh
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadTXA2NJxG
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6IsWmYqF7
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEiBz0dP1r
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsJB4c7Qxd
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO6FSBopRZ
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MQBX5UkFq
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYbXIieYa1
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAXOT0HquB
Tabitha: “Please.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkONcwnmzAu

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRt0Vpem4PW
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTDG7nb8lL
Tabitha: “Pie.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MFnxPpAK4

Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SdoJhL8kC
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBjYoTVMF8
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJFGITiGFV
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7tJxgUosX
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKljaqKa3h

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5EzzAgJ5U

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.

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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdrMXVpqW3
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUEdVmGh6v
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMlXrKdS6T
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDfCEgrqR9
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRLJ2YRnGD
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCgMwWrnhl
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9sJ3JxyEz
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKa1nEkvJ7X
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETPKLS7Ei2
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeYxNRLZHD
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oQ5uBhFDu
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeHHJoyTsb
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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8kLJmBUgK
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XdMzzOcow
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9mZzVwyBI
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.

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.

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.

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…

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.
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmnXauW88e
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGICqE3RhP
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.”
344Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopO9W3UMa4

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.
