Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sascSWoe9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdAwxwsbHo
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecPE17HzOQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBMKfhHAyM
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3e89YZABqr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsdxHGyiCT
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpluzFQakHi
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbEaIwzicl
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoRv0CRo9k
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oyUOAcz5R
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRnflgGlnt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JFa8K7JJs
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6d0YRBgTAB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz2xf30aUP
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxreQefxDnt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TFi27yApg
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ddobGyR4j
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7m1kZEer1
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iI0jWIhEx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqvVt7oiWL
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAUMJ3jlrh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhRSBgtew5
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSUVpUHIKH
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnX2Rp2oRJ
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcruokk9TLD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsVJYIXae1
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzii9YxlnY
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDdqqxZfi3
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wRCVxVLLf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3j0JO3zKfG
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn3qriOwaE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjcLcwu0zP
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWH7p0ImNA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh75mhdAuu
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkjrf2aB92
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPZ45tDEPk
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h97xBX338
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWavp93mfo
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKestDn0wNU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqkpcH1d3F
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gpA024vP1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdANiKyjuT7
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4LDp23V4e
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaOXGpnOtc
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTTw8ZPeDh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGsCV1HlDQ
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYQWkYtuzZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Mcxcp2KPx
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsNb5lfHz9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKqYeqkxYP
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF3ZHY3r6g
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzwRlN5sXT
Louise: “Kneel.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUouv7Pxfh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44KvHhIbST
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSe5wd6Hm0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqSEnXpvEA
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Cvk5SEhY
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzABDG5aS3h
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡje04qvf2fI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHViaGAf0UB
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjpqP8KP1J
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuzdTpkn8C
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgxOXgKR70
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5EQbqfQ0U
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…
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdmjYutPsj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw8McSxI3h
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?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWfR4L1oTy
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbT7NVT5GV3
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0PHNmTPFg
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0TOGVH6NX
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJP2g0RogoG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIiQY1kDbI
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODQSiuq3Op
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNmERyx7F7
Flamma: “First kiss?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwISVpZCzZB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0DPpcm2cw
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4aOt2UvWB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdRIecBD07
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lKAgB24ZP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJCOVY7mvf
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUroFa556Ax
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJIXZmfRY
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWih3LRnBNW
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRF8YPk5pX
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvxQiL9ubR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47tjO8MZ1C
Pain.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0H5KlBHMj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2MoGqr1F1
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm4hbs9NMo
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewwrn9GTh4
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9UWjoASzZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzRD0UwnrH
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBUeoDx1Er
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm3Ntaf8Wo
Louise: “Let me…go.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2llJ3x2e85
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTm9vLHCK3
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMkffDH1Av
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gWN08zUcQ
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHo2s2tZcq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9VAX4WDZM
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQIYzuydjt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXGQrJSQPk
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYfyMNcUxU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSXizpUenG
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqvnbD54Oe
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbNAtzRDSU
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUeOZYSEYO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mAm9uK6bo
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eZcHP0Phd
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5e5LDe3yd
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aWYe55SjX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYdyBqXrpg
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ebn4BjAM2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPHTYp4B48
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PpE4VrCEK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER6PfRrGcW
Flamma smiled before replying.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN6iZhELvh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMggkOb6olj
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkI1SKMPsM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeq9KV8Bpk
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAo7Bfj7qM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0cafGzC5
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?
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNUpnfmCrA
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6QezH7Esr
“Better we think.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpx2ubXOqT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioQwY1cV9a
Colbert: “Think?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17jYQ1fd7t
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmWcczRNEg
“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…”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGOLNWmrVi
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ4y4mLvyF
Colbert: “But what?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fbwbNqMhf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVZW76XGfk
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9XTfHDB2x
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4siVwpHXN
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHdB4dJqd9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQIpL0i0sP
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tnLdkEOAJ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHn4g3zHx2
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcgMadVt5h
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFE3IKFo2w
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdcVW4A02q
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1g49u7sJkK
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKtaS6BOJi
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15vs2VMp0n
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKZjHIMJEw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpgUrzmcwU
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b1Mgn74aO
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiytEa2SmX0
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXs7rTrqXj
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBimhPc020
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKY5drbURV9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqwHuomwmr
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4S3yozRGXq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43AZ0aZlRA
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfIsdEb3TL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59VLqvc1i2
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSHJPIgyo2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPhE6bBU5G
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TM2cHflaC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAXXJb1KpI
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7uLh0n4D6

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvRnn4Ol14
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplqJouumnc
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrrI78YXFa

“Yeah, for now.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5susZ6Ylm

Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacQIIYEN6c

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNAsEiFxYu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVmkafohW8
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgsN9LjoL5
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZa38PVn7po
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAa3DQ0ISr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlJi86pfor
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwy8wKt2SC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLjr0ivzRW
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2hox8zMH3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshB4DxmuGU
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPTswq5ILE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZvJ9wdAqh
Colbert tried levitation.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JPEaUx9WW
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Mw4iZm2K
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrr5xj40aL0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2DJlYK34C
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHZfA9J79f
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8JWSzngjN
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8rayxDzNN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItotv5mLOk
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuSsq6RblT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYclJnGO4L
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYMpjXRB7e
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWsLtDF0dK
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWtOfpmeks
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OGJssN6xG
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjQnUDSCQf
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RgifDQDhr
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbYiGLqUYl
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFLOEgBiUi
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?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZbW3qolvh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBK5yI5hji
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aY4X9W8LD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhofa9lGe2g
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ypN3miOB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqXKmYStUa
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgjVxQptkT

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaeSnySmT7

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zKoZCAzsw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCXiK6Bymq
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JU4JoQU2c
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYi11hVXhKV
Colbert: “Understandable.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUFbuVxZdw

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYreZEbWvL

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtzpmhtINk

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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0eeKzIb31
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoKN7CFdZq
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxA0g4vkQD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vkpjLXwid
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5obLWCGJT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSZq573jNz
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTbeHnEcYA

Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKn94gV66

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ttFUyxNJt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9KVgZMmeg
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.

Dovahkiin: “Um…”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVEjeLKO6R

Dovahkiin: ‘My dragon form is Dovahkiin so that’s out. What did Flamma call me last night? Oh right!’

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux62tonGxA

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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06JRW9RehV
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V4889BO91
Dove: “Got it.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxBB8wgiqR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINDIg31n5d
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWvkDmaH4R
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfAcuIQHbi
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4RXjK9AZZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VOPf7T7Tv
Siesta: “Yes?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZD91NAXL7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HNKnlIXC
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOM0CtxDwDu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflPDzZgURs
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?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQARrVDVts
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgrTjSr5l6
Dove: “Yes, me.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpdjB0zID
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OnvNn0s2S
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrfPrNtJ2p
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3RfPF7exQ
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcObGDU4xzE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xC2ILPO6p
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3t8PrCbKC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjnddwwdVb
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HLUCmvo8W
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4HKzJExOd
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYIDyBBV8e
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A0zjQ3d3Q
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLt2Ekw3mzZ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMFkDZYtyxz
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eEaHoCEGI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn2B0ngh2l
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWunpOtMDl
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTC6CP2TY97
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsVvGGQ5aR
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8ISPK1pNt
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQDDa0M7kS
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL1fJbFrd4
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-?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiuAumvhdQh
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLmEcrrlRT
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxb0lsxEJd

Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupmQnSwdkL
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBBamgL1qO
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjVgoVWYIg
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcUQR8BBuV
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDW4YLeYwNN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x2njSECM2
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUf110OvFlX
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHJUCloi86
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjVpcnTaKl

Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAYRhVdFhq

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

Flamma: “Oh really?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbdL6SqFk

She says with a smirk.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwxZOauMb9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2B7AYmx5w

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcal24l7Ou

Flamma: “I won’t.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOmHueVAWI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMT0OP6zpGN
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSDs5CvuB6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTaV5SSM3e
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcjDILlk9c
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyo30zkarjr
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoyKfuYH7y
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKMoL9sxR9
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxi89s3bL1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgK2UEG6at
Flamma: “So you say.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxYXEyEyLq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w3icYtXoO
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpEP0suUdb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wuU3KSFQZ
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJPf6UdklN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmAkrz585W

Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYkWmtzHOe
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0FNuMyN8G
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h5v9OqbKG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmco2u3nFUO
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExpbcAI0IJ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDxJ1BA2V8
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO8nrzrSSg

Dove: “…What?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjBWrnqS7t
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLPKaRc6Md
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuibsjlWZx
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ARfBaWLuf
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7QSQiZ0hr
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisEAbghtva
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.’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PNMuBQoDt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM00xB8LFv
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lY5uSuBSt
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii3erVKVbs
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5RS2n0oBi

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQs0PdyIwU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKaLq7Wt5v
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOdGNifA5X
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqb5q7YrL1
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzjgosLt8N
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE5pxfDegL
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCHdJKtaf2
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjWpoZoKrW
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHOrD7oGT3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL3od6xyDl
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOiRv2MK74
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OnKjq4d1K
Zander chuckled before answering.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZ7Lb3MGAs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetEp2m2HJC
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe97PWIWih8
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0o12ouhIe
Zander frowned before continuing.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7knnvBHhhb
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhZ9P191un
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnV6EzkRDE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzxDhwXkWt
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgYCcQ5Z18
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsGVlnhVKV
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwUiAwPh6w
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesyaMtiroa
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTxv0mlVUk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZzzwZjM0K
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9mLJ8zKIB
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhApFyqNZrd
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ct9f1pzVP
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJECsjADsw
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mI8DpaRLg
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7FF8MZtRs
Zander: “…A little.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNEbLSmlb7
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2a8KHkWF2G
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkNGtTSX2G
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOJXltRjZd
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FiMRaPBGT
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDvLpOFy4T
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLdfGKHE0M
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMldbVnZJEC
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE84x7GGRC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmW6Dh3FJO
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCpVNR98t1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwCpoNIHjR
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZHJBmejvc
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzZDCRZfp4
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq0cbCZdQ9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk317ojW4c
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbz2ajvTYZ0
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn1NJKBeow
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoxc92QjtM
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra9hRbdeVu
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30KcGxSTm6
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4CcYDlRsq
Kirche: “Such as?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQhtfHwB6O
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad9xUrWCNz
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl306Bl3FS1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVhu0Q1izo
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtph8RtfN3
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjwEBmdG0v
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEiVX2qQsu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFXrOWS0v1
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…”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCUqHwiFej
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfVNTf7swA
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7D4KUsEKbI
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYs8Odb1dHk
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9N7grcJlC
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zw8ABRw8W
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhkE8woGNU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX41LJUCTtJ
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBUgRROXWm
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2asURNRWp
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdEOa4o9aQ
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGzRKO3sLQ
Kirche: “But immortality?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoHvixf8v1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPX5phdNjh
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rKFmOXScs
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxjABrwxDt
Tabitha: “Old.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDWxVtVjKl
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpD3omCv7y
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlA0gcg1HGq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkId2oRnwf
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqpcgoA3Yn
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwKriKZNdU
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4hYIqkXx5
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypvLfZpGfm
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QNH2kpvaK
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcHGJuC4YF
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYK0apFjTj

Zander: “I look after my-”

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgLTk2M1T
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QpHFcOqY9
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmjRpgPXPG
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHEHgGT2Xt
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZnjFsJ55d
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGxaC3GTos
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Kjrh8M5er
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbf9ZHDiFq
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJp95NV1Bk
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCT51FEpU
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1wmhSaelU
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWxvWPnlCv
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBSDNIoJD
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLODG91yWS
Tabitha: “Please.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBfq43lKwB

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XtxM473gw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEupvWM94p
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSs2OSKY5c
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR8RdBkJsZ
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8KVoBAq4V
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgy2KitXvW
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5b8PHZNbAw
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8f9j3ApwU
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p9jEMRVlN
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IeMscY59q
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuyxCBsBU9
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tIgK86wHn
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY58tSpOo1
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk1vFhjhxF
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfQ9zzmuIu
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp6Q7ZrpTv
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkJX8qeaLF
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp6r3I78z0
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?”

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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGiQ1UFEMH

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.

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncnYitmPz2
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVY6AwPcZq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWUuRgLWAl
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaT1BBAjRq
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUu31Tb3Jz
Before the impact of his words could fully register, Tech glared at Guiche with his enraged neon green eyes. It almost glowed with fury, so much so it actually forced Guiche to take a step back.

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