Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9ctSEPJX6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZlS81lWk3
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCtPCq5AX4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUtlZvCg0
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPrENQsHK2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmm8oYMFeV
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORvzCnDKcm
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnaGN0Ch2T
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDXQy9Zf4O
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKQq5ZDVwX
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PXMa5pnCI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5IdBuUXbp
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDE7W9wnSs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pnEjIQyus
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQdOgitIIN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9XvVzewsy
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnARPj1yRWZ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgmtaA6biN
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFqzETt3R5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYuzY7W9zp
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnjP8fgBG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEvyqr4zAh
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgv69sXrruW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67I4jc5KcO
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGbsL0JoHW
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKG4mAdQn0U
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1UlXFvvHV
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu6LFlE2Dr
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHo9jzgosxi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHc8o6Opf5
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz42o0fTsbI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXkBehsAZ9
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGprJJl9Rj
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cLV6zRWNT
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwobvr8JquL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswDXl5UwOf
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM0KrlqO3T
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAkS2dHO5M
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtEwYMElJ1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpT9gYBTqGB
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qt4xWi5vY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWyfoMlZsO
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlC7gM355J
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYtXgl4a98
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKyPLYGsJL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5Ju6t2EjP
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9igCQnOHLv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFR4yNS0iZ
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOr5k2J6iPr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwxrURq2Gi
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJrLbMwuQh
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mlYGAqOWB
Louise: “Kneel.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqoBxqG72W8
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gj8tvOvZQ
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdkfCCZ6M5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWpNJpZGtV
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX2n0SaoiP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlm13VPe5aT
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YONqGYs4a
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEArGHNjHg
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzYlmd31o5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWpBI0BA0r
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRweC8FjbG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqNVVRfBkg
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…
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8DSd22YKl
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5zOTnMFMD
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?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FrOobR9kv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9hcDQ4cOK
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAxvxi1AJw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDet1L8Z6yr
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2MynYP2RC
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPrmMrXfI2
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeurTu7pY4C
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVRWEDbxP0
Flamma: “First kiss?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSnC8RBwdl
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpsJwfSV3R
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxAfDqLqBK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuZVKShPcS
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vbqp4l3jG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmBgvWlNux
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDXQ4KbnxE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqNltiDxIY
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77pCyEgQAS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2sjKWmu69
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimqleGFZpe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYS8XubTOg
Pain.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW529mBZOvz
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW9phsopKF
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaHmPI76k1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QH9fX0d7n
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lCKBtfjuu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtvcyjdkjr
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVwkoWZ59K
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLTepGBjIi
Louise: “Let me…go.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62JjQXXOpB
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUR3jICz6W
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIiFEAxc7S
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFpLjqMtJK
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQKrDCJZYG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFVAHgCj6S
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA61dxtUNzi
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7Eh8KpsH
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLU7UcWxKg
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbl8bBwg6Qo
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe4bxf3yNb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIBMU5YFKk
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXlafOiKNS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjgIPm2aYA
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPdYipyg9w
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflkSFN8Fif
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KoRcxR46E
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRl6GRR9N6
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykKJibKrH5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKAlSwnegg
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsSKpbua1Q
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMCpGHutys
Flamma smiled before replying.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowM6PlqGYB
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgSTuFI8e9
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBq8hN6Mk2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBhf9bN6c
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiRwXxJQKt
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEICqlgsNxB
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?
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUaS5MlsPb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPHLf0ydoU
“Better we think.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGY98sGg9f
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBdYyvHeO5
Colbert: “Think?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYr1UXSzFP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMq0KbIPIM
“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…”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENf0ey9Ad2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJ7GdvNsCB
Colbert: “But what?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNqOGgp90C
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuCOEHVXDK
“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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPAekPpDLT
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lFVF0gCrY
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCJ04HENI6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKO3o97mq8
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwgm2ZPEsP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidGXB7Jx6P
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLr526uGwl
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtx0Euy7zMH
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PcCq7sckq
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZoB8VoFJZ
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lMXUjYkFs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqYGBfrX3S
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFiXgzQiy3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXZljM9OGy
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgRbjtKzzx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmujRakNBsU
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAmIqU8IPv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTdtaBrdhM
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsisTitlwZ4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJeSzrN9nd
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWModbGedsK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4XVqypLrG
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVTWoXqhng
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsb9o1wC2S
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOQjMHakSQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnTuxfZiTd
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zu8sTukcy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9XhxgQvRx
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlyHXR9Drc
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuGyyuwBqZ
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt05LvHdsw3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58vI6AcPm3
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGC5U64EUu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8L7zbYua3N
“Yeah, for now.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tp56YyRcd
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQixffbCQW
Colbert: “Can we have your name?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpoqbzHQHG
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci2LLzVSRe
Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCywXwCnuOO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFlALpOVAv
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqLwJ2NSVS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTjDHcAKnq
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZbixPZJdY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzHHFuchYS
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKR54t1Ls5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QxPwtbBcn
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGfqTzJ7de
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVsr3PR9xG
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBkE0CjmUP
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVe3I27dm1O
Colbert tried levitation.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccd0tSzkGs
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxMNJu2lqR
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcjcY53Cnb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGW5TITRZfi
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5bk2dbvgL
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUvceJTI03
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRcrdB1omF
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGusl9kxF8
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpuMrjahcU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcAsX5Iqkg
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO962QwTeJ4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVntsaHVRgf
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFlHGufkWc
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61TcE6B0iA
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZk8IHbXaxZ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfipVC60b65
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJfhOflfe
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzTjLITKQh
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?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuraWzpH6u
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n5eUjLrji
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8jEc4qgDu
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0v17HfxuF
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0x3Cr8jcw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SOqlzidAi
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSfM5UuHNQ

Tech: ‘Like you could.’

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGS7MnwYc2
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikHcMBl9Xr
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZPO6AgZVJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2gBbSPwRK
Colbert: “Understandable.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr597wUGazZ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGJJxSGhDW
Tech: “Now, give me space while I work. Shouldn’t take me long.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdE1GzgaXa
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50sUn0acUJ
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWpDFzPdCU
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHK3HOyg2Od
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnC4zkIy6V
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51AsXh61h
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8FiMY6INQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbXfI6bs6e
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb1BcpvY1l
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQrJaj5h4w
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNOAVR9Vf4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpmZKMkC66
Dovahkiin: “What should I help you with again?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI8rmiC0wv

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqe5aoFG5u
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXPnInQ5PK
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.

Dove: “Got it.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKf1SdBCYV
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLKcXCziuv
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QNmMKQmhX

Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7ubR5l2pL

Siesta: “Yes?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02gUSMolC4
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKyaQcVnqX
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0m17DBnXy
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIt49KzPZP
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?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WQaAjXi9W
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y2SDA3Qwt
Dove: “Yes, me.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYk1C8dpqV

Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdnZEUyv8o
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkmg4FzeuJ
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA2q7mdvxH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwF9gnhvLH
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBSKswTXZI

Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXm42IIIvDe

Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGL1ycIWAY
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxIEMGXUyu
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-?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4TSTM7lLk

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuWa23NST8

From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShXKu8SSP8
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnImpyMmzVF
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ8gyqr0OM

Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsdqs3RST5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7gmZnBSVm
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj0lsALdK3

Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13q5zOB1t9
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcdsB03YAz

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIRNiHtfb3L

Flamma: “So you say.”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6bxqd4MAA
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6hzYBIhE0
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI00XIQmM0

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWUQu4uYfB
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAK66QhVX
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdGISc78nJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrdq7LYOGb
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”

Dove: “…What?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6YdyR9SSI
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOmmBfttK2
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSLlOWESxk
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr69q0ic2r0
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTF6Se67jmN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPJhL98VPs
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.’
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHJ89PnkP8
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVDfzF973j
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhprJu4s2tS

Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFXCJMYsQE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPSP02xZQM
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCs6RS8jjJ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bsU2n9gTw
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECXj6yc68X

Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryWIx2lCQv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlKRB5sN84
Zander chuckled before answering.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cv3vXxda5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktEK9EU5V
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9xeUqu8ql
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKe2UReXNo
Zander frowned before continuing.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaOhWsNXXxS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1EkjjyimG
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeL0U3YYWt6
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD0juCG1Eh
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXsQdb1IXE
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylzpKc4yZg
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHibckgoA3y

Kirche: “Priestesses?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQTpxmOUSH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vSX6HwnEl
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8JVMy3x6f
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkerU53W8N0
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIEoH9vO5V
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIldUf8y2W
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRxTdNeZQq

Zander: “…A little.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVLM37RMfh

As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6dKPmLGm1
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblLx6wmRL0
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21ztnTVQZ7

Zander: “Zander is fine.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPgFnnpfMS
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoesSLkXNal
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3k5mnakeH
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlELSrOzlfW
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QqCd9q3vX
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqoNEVRESt
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNP37T5jj0
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡregBhvHMW9
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSXWcBd3RO
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJPYUJlNqF
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTGT9oFiiQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM1td28nEz
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcmJmlzN3m
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaeEkI1t3l
Kirche: “Such as?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zgw2CEIXj
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjuhoQyFze
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTD7RZ7zfl
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Wy9ahHRIi
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0VlGjLdK6

Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQp2t7oa87H
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlDlmNGJsV
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…”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1ENmd7TI7

Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.

Zander: “I founded immortality.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6jjgDN0uh
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEELwbfJLee
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicar0J79Vn
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphyLPtb3IR
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xGX9TSSAe

Kirche: “But immortality?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAoZG5Hz2M

Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCE4IRm1Yq

Tabitha: “Old.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yT8JiCRe3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxncWovlB1M
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6dYwkfUvw
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwEP0L7Bq2
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XzpSDJHL3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7bF6MDvqI
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHf9B4zNer
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLmJZDLkt3
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YC4s0XcWC
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPOBtN9AN2
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbir0I1q8EH

The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3sDZkwd4r
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnole5uphkS
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UmmGS0IiQ
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRIUKfant8
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.

Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2OiwaV5ot
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8lazv5wx
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZIOWfS4YS

Tabitha: “Please.”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlhZPM3rkN
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfCBi53WG8
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W1l2xrivX
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRW6zCyeU
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7dO7CfCV5
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47BKzhxyJr
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIKy73NPLF
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2pHjvhTX8
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjUiLc5PRp
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQGy9LGbe
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsA7idG3Gkg
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA8JKD62kN
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRQEMkFkOb
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43VpZARvoA
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9XN6Wogb3
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5roHZZlZk
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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtfEUxWEiK
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdToc1v9to
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLCjjXCiCv
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC97e9lCYpN
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?”

254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhkEGd8Beo
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQj6ixhvceN
This would earn the blond student Guiche a suspicious look from the brunette girl. Flamma noticed the blonde girl with her hair curled to the sides storms up to Guiche’s table.

Everyone, even Dove and Zander was looking at this sad display. As for Flamma, she could only close her eyes in sympathy for Guiche’s failure. Emphasized by two loud echoing slaps.

Flamma, Zander and Dove snapped out of their thoughts. They saw Guiche seething red in anger as he pointed accusingly at Siesta.

Flamma and Dove stormed over to aid their fellow maid but someone else actually got there first. A sickly young boy was standing between Siesta and Guiche. The same one that cooked his own meal in the kitchen.

Before Tech can give a witty comeback, Flamma and Dove come to stand beside him.

Everyone was stunned by the turn of events. 2 of Louise’s familiars were protecting one of the maids. But few had hope for their struggle. After all, those 2 were only commoners. Even with an extra maid’s help, it didn’t matter.

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

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.
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uPpU1V7kx
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7hm86lzy4
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.”
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHoOP8DAYr
254Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1gyTvmLkG
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.
