Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WZ0S2XJ4c
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTOfTbFAQF
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAFO8FI82x
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJLF3EpxS6
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEHR51WIc4
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI5ePMFDPu
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB6gZCyIXW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZoEisHQcL
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIeja4iClH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JbhIFhUzE
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0NuqLCECj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y80E7MAgL
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJHS93Adi7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFu55LkZhuK
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikx1eO9Lop
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLvAFcBjol
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlKCiyk1Pe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRstROx2dct
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRi39oX5tX
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5ZZnFY5DM
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtmntpzlDy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVsazH9BZ8
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7SQ4ydT5n
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWS57nSdqYt
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyGRbbPtBN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45r5KlC5jJ
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9gtYDmgvp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkD1xsMflo
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr0vF408mU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0Z2JKAaSG
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcWSJ0GnqE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36IMdDgJeH
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsumJW5q3sN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRczysQ7QWQ
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSc7OCjitj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfys7WPkflo
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeMkOXcBy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEe4Ad3nHd
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4kHQf4Zce
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInd88UFuQh
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6A1oOkt8d
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1YDycGZTF
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtu53iMURtp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei34o3eesP
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOm4Xanmw5j
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxRs38PCGb
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIobDFEAmIs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54UBDQuRbr
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1MdutCG9Y
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNW0KjfRGU
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQIHvKBg1V
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcK7NASQCp
Louise: “Kneel.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfj4KbF6KH
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLr9dgaZJK
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcDlP5JHVz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvDO13qUqn
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3SC6bNK3H
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0GGEjMHlW
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6bRMHIZzI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXDvnWnqKP
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOcwz37tEB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Vx1w5VoBK
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslP0R54YOg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdhVSJWeBI
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…
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuKL3UeBeQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA651MDVGY
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?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9wXOLpEhz
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf52t1mvjh
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUlcVgazCt
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr122R4YYKA
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZYO3sBznN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5gIMZBLgL
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZCCEg2caY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6UQcqGbyC
Flamma: “First kiss?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmdGc2Voe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVg8pTX1Jhk
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmRxlcyoiI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wGYiVCcYA
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35LYW8zj9M
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuMbEH3vRa
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoW2nlCL6e
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwHWuRMLBE
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR0YofWbPA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQzoMg8yYSG
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LVnYaKW3q
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChVgkn6SZW
Pain.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamLVop3l3m
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bxu1M5Rky
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ph1odyaJR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCJ9vFEd0p
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIEokgx1Mr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8uv3sFfgH
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmhSg6VQY7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C1FozFZlK
Louise: “Let me…go.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4LDqHDgY8o
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW6LDlbVc2
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmMvtoBAmD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNFHOP6Dha
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxAOJbjDia
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBzBBGBZJa
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7H7eLmV7F
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSGChd1uRu
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0KJWZw9jZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zbDzKLoIM
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8UpmHZEIK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfDdiGc5T3
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8NjRjk4Eq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuteEhbOude
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybkwMHYcgl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbporYvKd
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0m5AJ0ObD
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIZkywwzxN
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBlSpVab4v
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayhdfaeYEi
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuny8G9lwu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ujogn1qbi
Flamma smiled before replying.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFxtaxeoEG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq5RuwrFRh
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgi10TRWBp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbWfrfEsyX
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc4UWQjQwd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZFfAOX75J
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?
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYkQUEShna
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWGwgra3Ww
“Better we think.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hmqwa6Ots
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmI1aqBWxQX
Colbert: “Think?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYnmn91p0e
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja2SCV48Mj
“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…”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiFs2LbHnJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENKRmTFN1l
Colbert: “But what?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoRAlvxtQl
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBmx5uPRSj
“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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVjJDwY7jj
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1FWZ2L77S
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmu0XSFRRn
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitYOnpC3ll
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu2PQOhTOA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3aXguEhE5
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg77cvH2gw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUBrNV4VNv
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXOp8vjahR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrl2YlTTbO
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH57he5qAp2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKFvi3oW8G
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICdnfTL9qP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpBGa6jtU1
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZG81hny68a
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzfVawr77p
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtalZVGYH7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4pphdkvnM
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUwW0LSn5Z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyldJq2FfbL
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FSRZBlc1w
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFg4l04UCB
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63yr5MamP8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmSIqdXh7W
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDBcZpdgLU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJtSsy3eK5
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnox25f1jhs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ86PCkceN
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccrISWKaY1

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x3NqPGLcO

“Yeah, for now.”

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UruJ3eiDi
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMjFnZcs9J
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM92JVOqpQQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NJHM8Q4pf
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbTP0hLKko
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2y7wjhmNV
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQU4LsZSVo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulc2YDbVrF
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4teMBOC3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZT1jWxMTf
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrOsRecHb5
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHu3CMkM6N
Colbert tried levitation.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHg5Gqr8Ey
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TqY6MND6n
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPulOkggTy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xK1Rly5j9
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bA34Ihqxd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4pQx8BSmz
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsZYjAtv7E
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6K3RjqImAI
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G0iF1AOym
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVojaSqBiP
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1VoACwT3z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsi5EJcGv6
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcky0Ddmk8O
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFTpwR1Um8
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxXjQWn44I
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6XSXYFpPU
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1o1fzWdDG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio8NaPpcF2
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?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZq5F2yd2l
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmScfxdzcW
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB38EYCyFBA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzopw6hasu
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJknu18Q0U
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWcSGN9aBI
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaJTK5IDI

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1AC50EAhS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEcdzWtg3p

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMRmiTKaKb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmDvzftAGi
Colbert: “Understandable.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgW5zq7IDV

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxZeuJohnm
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9ILLqhZkz
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWSCeOwRcN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv3d7ONEye
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQD6cQEoWg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0BqSQll7G
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtCd0MKfDV

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTcQYCB75e
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrByKexUUS
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.

Pulling Dove over to the table, Siesta quickly flowered her hands and a rolling pin.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mpfaIc51
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7xJQ7tDaW
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFxFzfC66I
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6FFERAeWv
Dove: “Got it.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh29Q2COCCB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pabdp6qjy
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0siX6Ve1BO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nIAnKLoLK
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwB5e8PuVk

Siesta: “Yes?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2wkQIHnk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofIVYIb70p
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKcumDIKY3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WPC5gxEsX
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?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4Q3Q5g0nA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHuPpwEQnX
Dove: “Yes, me.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbLRXXVmi1

Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBn57Tnb7ab
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEt0suXVAe
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy63ge1hGuB
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fDnEeoIKy
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAc8mP56JK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvWDLCPFrD
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuReb1RJ8mg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2Hue3LPRM
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCU9ULKplw
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM17757cGT
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefTUKmzeM7
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevJiW4wnK2
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEfW936z5S
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqk37BBDQB
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF0oJzagyy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe13EP3F0WB
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3za6FJY1R
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDINVtzofu
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVIATVKFam
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWi7mCcKeE
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-?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9RgToMdl8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOUZJKqQPU
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaMcsyAyDA

Dove: “Got it.”

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFAPrjK7O0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSA7hGmJw4K
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5ue8MzZRu
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GcasBIotR
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXWXUsiYmp
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDWAp9imDj
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0luuFmM4Mr
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4TmCLP3Ui
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlDMNQ5EdO

Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGFjT1DIsx

Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”

Flamma: “Oh really?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTa6UCgRNr

She says with a smirk.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFbk2MN5kU
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhNUXHIgSj
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kc1mIwwz3

Flamma: “I won’t.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAySV6j9mtC
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rFWZAlZSQ
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO4lagYmw6K
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PhNSilyia
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD3bL93joE
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D8uFJH77O
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ZehjI5Hk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgctr6k7iLW
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARnRQZkpSe
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwb3hgPv3R
Flamma: “So you say.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZo91CuUfoP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXM1oPodgr
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7JADc8L9Z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2zuNEuTkL
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3ujx7GylP
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjadKtfSMI

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjsaOIWm5V
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGTUAiBonF
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9y2bcvev3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcUK5jKVtv
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDQdQvYTez
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyu6Hze6ZG
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrT6TufbsK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7xNAaTQBl
Dove: “…What?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGrc2K63jT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZseKDMSrrS
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1kWUvSBYy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3XEr8oUfJ
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JK2s9bHiq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPmH0aEpwV
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.’
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEWbFnFvcc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5vftRVKX0
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBpzPfwbSc
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxaPwLdcyM
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOanYY6OXX

Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZH2TFjNAq
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17yosG23jh
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Mv5nW3ha
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY5OML67W2
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJOVdi2Vro
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59Ma5iyaHq
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjw2jVCPl1U
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIGhrkTn7L
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh0acWVz6w
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3380iwPWt
Zander chuckled before answering.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGJy0o5Jph
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxFr1yKSXj
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL3PPZl7li
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZx4LvR29s
Zander frowned before continuing.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRqBmsVYr9
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaXiMWidjF
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjYqvHga1a
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguoZ5qZiSJ
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUpsPU8pJg
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KpmVjTpwJ
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWahh6jTVBs
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVtCr8UZ2G
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSWsECuNHG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6xZrXyKgx
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzskFggdEs8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMrH1uN2Vl
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuu2Ey2FOx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAiZo9duit
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg84l6C2wYk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPZ3HLWwGf
Zander: “…A little.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmBiiUo1xG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAN4px2kz1b
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoeBBRKTnx
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6cIP0qk7H
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGZGZq23f6
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINKmpd2yWz
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfGVkb0UUZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLelr3toJIt
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjEzeDblD2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg897YdREu2
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL46K8banZK
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT26omSW6g
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmMXfp2U2G
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXB0NazAv4
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KWXCnTlY3
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l5DI1DpuK
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ2eciOaiJ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7YjILJup6
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxFgZNkubZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1GCNdxVEx
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuVDgOLW0X
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpHGOcMqai
Kirche: “Such as?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDLne5Jf7I
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTalaPyJ7j
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUmquA6hnk
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsohxO950E5
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c855JyARO
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfynhmT0ciQ
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKRWf5sRvI
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88664caUtD
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…”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOelRchn6Y
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhtuegAhn8
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrgTD8bhgN
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJEnR77maZ
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeDm5tcUYb
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6WgqNM6iJ
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjhllosfum
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8rVkP1R0Y
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4b6cX76HA
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAOPoeA34u
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF6W60QVKZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnG03tWx14
Kirche: “But immortality?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSxhGf4hqM
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XAOi49pk1
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzTnh1mlsS
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7uwP5oftt
Tabitha: “Old.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vL6qTFiwZ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf8QdUGgfs
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EUHwxLlXT
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZxZep2lAe
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUlvxnWnbRW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPJXu6G4aY
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk1eXOkjST
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV2UgdR3D8
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76vWyHMi6X
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIOWAkJxwl
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmGHM3JitP

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpUfAfzQZR
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhp0K2DDx7
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEYgj2wEYY
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa7yutSESb
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKAni4n48z
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntvxlSTXd9

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8841ADlWot
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSW7WsA62K
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8osRvduPiV
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtk0An2zyi
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgMqYVpMcG
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOPzEU4RfU
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKzFBYRAY0
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Xiskx2OWu
Tabitha: “Please.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5YAu6r6AP

Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYM6s4jSOF

Tabitha: “Pie.”

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXYGjLLHD8
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uhv8zgVCI
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXO6uajDdW
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr8l2SKXXI
Dove was surprised and then laughed at Tabitha’s stone face with a smudge or two of cherry smeared on the corners of her lips. Tabitha reached for more.

Tech was done with his repairs. The process did shock some nurses. He did have to remove and reattach his replacement arms and legs after all. Using nanobots to turn his hands into the tools he need didn’t help. They thought he was another Ravager in disguise or something.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRgG3g4tjQ
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLUUEKgjun
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuM27pRDC2
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNQ6D5lRYX
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS8N5XpSja
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJutxROFSU1
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNmQJ902oy
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHsk7xzfIb
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc3QX4gSOd
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrQSEymLXf
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQmEsMN2PL
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUi1snTTnh
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02PPGXK602
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErVDYdsIs7
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?”

“Now that I look at it, yeah, isn’t that what she uses every time she walks into class?”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAagsyrWBo
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAqupkPAMH
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.

Flamma: “He said no or are you hard of hearing?”

Dove: “Not only that, he probably has difficultly thinking too. Why else would he blame Siesta? Those two girls were crying because of what you did, making this your fault.”

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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl85Gb7Hn2

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

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

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

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCNZcq7Sgb
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.
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQd7aPaR56f
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mZqqTuw2z
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.”
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGoCiUf1i
347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkNvQNZLzP
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.

347Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvQ9ZOxc9K

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

Tech: “Great. Siesta, could you help me to the nurse’s office? I need to do some more repairs to my systems. Dove and Flamma, you should come to. If we’re fighting together, I should make sure you don’t slow me down.”
