Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnUWZYft0V
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8b3CmsfrH
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEgSbFRSzM
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYhuIgPARc
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTsNm9APCp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjARPyevras
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIL2Pv6gV1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpccdB7V27
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGdBea3mPT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZE8IN94KbM
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Z8Mifci1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW6bKiCJJs
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTb8j9wkTh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTpNTO8PKd
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdagMKU0Z6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡod8INoIqXl
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMyFGdf7YL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtGdnh6Efk
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFhu82ukyP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNTHIKo1EF
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg7ArvftNA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gFRaQIr1f
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf5pFs5A8l
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0io5JZjv2
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPualQ5Pk9P
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9hGSP5G6
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7wKs7WjKbh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5KDA3AoRl
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHVhfUwaqv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGDhpUWmxW
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzNfw5ulJ8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YTTB9bIa
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnK3X6aqEb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT7ZvdaNr3
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HWbz4Mi59
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9n7wAGJUE
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPeuFKJHiB
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fd43JNHoX
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuTqPgW2by
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAKXHS8cua
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8uyBUOUt3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMLkLp5MeH
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRmgxZh0M5
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A8bPm4z24
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekKVzFLsec
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMCc2v6f58
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFK9vDzeIj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmcsLcSnTK
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcJXNmV0CL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrYnWDq4yw
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFUVJTuwMv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJuXMAUaE
Louise: “Kneel.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CeuiRQCtf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAew3NJxNcW
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYWlXC377A
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5YuQZryPv
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqqZ2n9nHf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YlG60DqA9
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCwrlB83sW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡik86GFKdev
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnib2RyAQi
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07i7SIx6bx
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBhFaLy2TK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKVDf0hglM
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…
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXPRD0sgGA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aKuRCaebJ
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?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1t7uO9Cqz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxfJScKtub
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Y4eJhbbL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7gZ6F7dKp
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGGG2k9nfz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s3zxnuSEw
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzILRfgEmlw
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9LfrVdxhm
Flamma: “First kiss?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWrlkBE1n7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JgQ7axrVt
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIh6FDsr2j
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeOsYdF9wG
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07se9XL6Bc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2gEsYovzL
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrNQteZiKa
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsekVZHZR
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1I9Qmgt3F
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYB3pC2DV4
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVX6qvV2a2
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFVfu2QAUQ
Pain.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwronUi6B8P
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6bqKK6gIN
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSZh1yDEvy
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUArcx9FmhQ
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsITlRbrinH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ApXT5K0h
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh16OT9CHhf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYYc2giZNT
Louise: “Let me…go.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMsmmKyFjY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFXUlooUhs
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5vRI4VLu3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzcC5ULQO7
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1yHsEFml
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqavdeImJpy
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LTsvhbGz0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAVAY5fNnr
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkq7aKcgZD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UuBdEvMsI
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQQnGBqne3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcaPLnCq9l
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX47zCX8vV
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4w0aQGdqv
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBprVLaZjhQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Zk6ec66z
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4IlooNgKf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzxdQOZS9T
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1b4J5WJDoj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iOZKdPxsc
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDPdRINLIR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1M8G5klP1
Flamma smiled before replying.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1Phniskzl
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVnEvNTADlX
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAeTiex3hG
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijhIGhmzhi
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsomJ2oOGA
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbGVrZmOX1
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?
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYsmZvJZVh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpDWfSx1FN
“Better we think.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5Srmxr9t7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVjLefTRU
Colbert: “Think?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVTDT9KJlu
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Y8l3mBew
“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…”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDBhptkMdq
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIpQz8RsyG
Colbert: “But what?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrWbOu9Av6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPShh0Wq1X8
“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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesRUyZeSoJ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpx9XfiiX8
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdoKb6i6xK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yyQb7NwUQ
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3mxq3Ri7L
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZrITK1IU4
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4SX353SZD
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJK9Aq14QwN
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCa4Z5BAlX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvh9CBqu0Q
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7wdpjQeyi
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI5HCN2frq
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaXVrRvgte
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SAm9zFT6j
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCCJyx0Pjl
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzNEHWd7w8
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus0TfJu8pw
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHbA5hgFE0
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGGSXFRRID
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6gqQos8Jw
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYPk8dM9ba
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVEjSUmem0
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHifkkuYDs
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAZa4uG53H
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3n4P43EX2i
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEn5rjd02O
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOE4WVY1UF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTmTRia629
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQad3vUGiQ

“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEgniuLOx4

Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTrNzhIDdY

“Yeah, for now.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2d7Q20hyd

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2A6c1nVDrg

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpWPQX2QKp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGwokRtJcs
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6PKk8DFIJ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHvHWtIfAs
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja2STd6n6Q
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPDtDRJ1u8
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEpA19FbSS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf73OpEdQSX
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc772Y4ELB1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclLQBykauC
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdHwLzdZRt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30yis3CMMf
Colbert tried levitation.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MGqA7FOle
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOK1diyg1v
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmIxmWgedN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7mHDtGMH1
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLZAmaICyd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3z1nTJN2o
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTrrbCgAdY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJy46FKZSmy
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAefXBcrRt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcEoCZMzsg
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYeJFh7kmU
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2YZO1gzft
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bC7qQVSbf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPKNq69BCt
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzchUHJBOo
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK84ihUXAOd
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYy3nuW3Cm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCkaKfavde
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?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrCHQPEYpF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUlb7e8j9z
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGER0jjQak
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbWsW3ObzI
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZyrV34ZSk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyR9BFUNqV

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPW3ongT76
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGhp4guIXi
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdARsU9rKsv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY2kcWIz7P
Colbert: “Understandable.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ybn1kCm08

Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6oqeeF0Nc

Dovahkiin blinked blearily after being shaken by a gentle but firm hand. Dovahkiin fully opened her eyes to see the sun through the clouds.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25fR6D4UgK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoJvet9FRK
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NylAWCEUH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHW5ATAoufK
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wREud15xd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXsQFEKNeE
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNGtSdkPwT

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

“Help me in the kitchen. Dessert will be late if we don’t hurry.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8mguJNnUN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrnyLrvqr0
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.

351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLewz9iJF5
Siesta: “Lay out the rolls of dough so I can get them flattened out.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb6uVUtuY1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQHvTktRVI
Dove: “Got it.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW6tHWvIny
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccJWKnWokX
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0yHSWYCvP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXkV3orIAy
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu83LbThMYN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCh0v8CFe9
Siesta: “Yes?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeFgPLeJVP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGttnY1AfIa
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbX5ApoDs9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoIP3445UT
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?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCBSjc5KTZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlozMTRYVxK
Dove: “Yes, me.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnt36JXzuv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGUoKCJBHh
Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2t5ssNZkS0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzIwZww26k
Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt541QeipC6
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq20A2Zeepn
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN57CiQ48r
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOkYJPjtGm
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87o0773Ox7
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDHOVEN3fd
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86nga9TH6L
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87Je31NaMi
Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFsmxxPuZ8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEPisazW65
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJXYfQOhL9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1JKMaB685
Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6DmDDtgWz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUfPpJkIEM
Dove: “So, do you think I could get the job if I ask for it?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡods3AWRbiE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdmuDuKaHu
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGO1UrDXpM
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEN0kjMkKP
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-?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMGTC2GZTb
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgfLwoK2iV
Siesta: “You should ask right afterwards, while the rest of us are delivering the pies. You should have time then.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdedWG1gBaK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR7jirH91q
Dove: “Got it.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9VrP4D2EI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOaCgtqZ4Y
Flamma: “Well, who do we have here?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGr1HbzFtrR
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MVd7S8Tkz
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuxemS9ri0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRlReT10TG
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EgCDqzpEE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V7CYKdzps
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK8wP3GP5A
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA8UE1ZNDk
Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7kLYUfm4S
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMyDmEgYYS
Flamma: “As do I. Now, who is this lovely lady.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGZrWC2xMv
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK3HXDGSTM
Siesta: “This is Dove, soon-to-be assistant Chef.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNouLIJqhy
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pB5aJ7XUE
Flamma: “Oh really?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMx3TVml9p
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdtysAHror
She says with a smirk.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExJMTq3kwp
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNYQFYfHd
Flamma: “Mind if I borrow her for a moment Siesta? I would like to get to know my future co-worker.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGB14sKfpm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistYN9VvQA
Siesta: “Don’t be too long.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHe1WKqNX5r
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ294yTaqXNu
Flamma: “I won’t.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ843dXktMJN
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFy4Xx9EjK
Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IWtYrlomt
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdJoLtEInl
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWmhOYIpR8
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFYh3idgHJ
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1JL7L22k3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7koLjlfGp
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfSzdWYfh4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IKxeWHnqX
Flamma: “So you say.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡir0I3kZShE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡah2u7rt14E
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLd2WDrcbI
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXSleMlRMb
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArKjHxPDoZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMM4VtbroY
Dove: “As long as you don’t flirt with me while working.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCydC8GfJh
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLYvJNTWwn
Flamma: “Off the job is fine then?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNxJxYe7gT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6eYzPxOk9
Dove sighed before trying to redirect the conversation to someone else.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7Ke31NuB4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSx0N3nptGg
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dMLoFDpPT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpBL5fd7Nn
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvpTAO4koj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj8Hue0DOI
Dove: “…What?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeEiSrIcPL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GG96UDmco
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhnrkqc679
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD99LT6gAid
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQJ6V0OINe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMTKcIwSk2
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.’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBaPnNUt67
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6467DH1Aa
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Z9E05WwO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDWiMCY3Sp
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPVCFfssTU
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ174J23u8
Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHQ3OcIXEO
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7tNUBeTV3
Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4zYNOrhyF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZYCr8FDim
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlKNTgI204
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cJ1MZLGz7
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdLZkS7rmP
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB6llIsh2Z
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsHGWjFzTS
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWodC0GfzE
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzDiSohddW
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclPFvEkREL
Zander chuckled before answering.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc8VbkTvQk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvw2VJZVIM
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCL0FeexFll
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjIHr7Bim3
Zander frowned before continuing.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyQKMOvjEs
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs3ZXOvPcg
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZtXZiECd2
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJevHykYpo
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHe8KhPoII
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnCVZkcfcG
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXGJuwtYIK
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j3xuPmX2B
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8MnKngIo4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEy6mSBCR08
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfJOjduS4x
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVq3Ujo2UeA
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU5NY9TvP4
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDq35rUbsip
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBAnrtUU4a
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqpQ5CkAd1
Zander: “…A little.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8mKqlf4Zn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJGdIYPMHh
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1QHlhw55
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3d3ULiW87
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EyNtagull
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0KTLmYoHP
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8453HgcehZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPLwjMfWuG
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9rKLgiSyM
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Ngu33y85z
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFh1nQcdvm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EuGzSfJep
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSHmQvqcz3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaPJ0wxAoO
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoQx9W2du3
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a08Vs3yPS
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQfZZoGMg
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0ivgbpxxV
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJIBTEzYfX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvdPJvNErK
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMs8NlmaL
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEa2Ry2DRgr
Kirche: “Such as?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHb7budDOQ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54kdY7ulEP
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzk2innts9
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrkjvKfGok
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0YSr5fy97
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs3muPzd1F
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbh6pjaGu1
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9lv6FFiNA
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…”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzv4xpKMwf
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw1nPNb3sT
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5TPsQ8qOd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkrTurZghi
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffhTnALg37
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHIRSaqXB
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT2OkTGqsM
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LtLHfU60d
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W6QtDdQrY
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHBSLg9Jer
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWUd6QVW8W
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8c5vltwrd
Kirche: “But immortality?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBNJTpTN0K
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiWiWlBaDU
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRpKv2rX6ok
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDotOMwqOp
Tabitha: “Old.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvo8kiupUc0
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbfQscBCMJ
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bBzkygDjk
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev0p1wJc1o
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM71jRd0FKE
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKYeDLuNhm
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD1MSCB1NX
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W8hOjLdxH
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyQkm2qoUd
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn7I87wyzP
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB4HKKwf1V
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4jrYLU1ZS
Zander: “I look after my-”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PvgzukUvm
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfd6sb47TbT
“Would anyone like some pie!?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnYsWEKndw
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIsKv3uasq
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKdTpxjgz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57kifxLTFJ
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfB8uVVtzLV
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytSXAIdoMj
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUkE4QLquZ
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXaHS0QlDQ
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojUmORRNz
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8s3u7fkyyn
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQu2wNpje1J
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BROaOLHGF
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLmaaUs3qe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG37b8h7oqV
Tabitha: “Please.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0af3X597V
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gmGZ4CXOH
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ7zaWnq7I
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIOMX9rldi
Tabitha: “Pie.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYmPduGLeH
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDixPzLSNX
Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfRJNEBidj
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSA4qLEg7
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWmWouvZYe
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BhGGrJTAa
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKkyHnTXtF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBZniIm2x8
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MEonOdcRR

Dove turned to the surprised Kirche and the knowing Zander. She smiled and bowed.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdyfgNCmE4

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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0GTVDlm3Lo
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfUciJMx94
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVWmBPA4gc
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WROCLT2Jv
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7XVMNuaWl
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCQOlXcH25
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VyGzFLCuT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEMw9C3SnA
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmemdrKgLy
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8KVfJ2ep0
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Y5aATUVn
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGLCCZmoYq
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.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqE8vEIy5YF
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1d1PA2tvr
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.

So as to not be caught looking too long, Flamma turned her attention to the other maid. She apparently was trying her hardest to get the attention of a blonde noble kid. He was probably talking sweet nothings to a brunette girl given her love-struck expression.

The blonde guy was pointedly ignoring her, but some of his peers around him would recognize the perfume Siesta was trying to give him.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Zander: “Yes. Now, I wouldn’t want to get in the way of Dove and Flamma beating you senseless. You do deserve it. But you will not prevent the boy from sitting down and you will not fire the maids. That’s not within your power.”

Now that Tech is in a better position, he regained the floor with his next words.
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSkuXMbgGT
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5CVpTdw74
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.”
351Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHigz7ysg3d

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.
