Morning came far too early for Louise. Her body attempted to yawn but instead she got a headache and cough instead.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WVpXDSCjy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVJKgBZ5va
Louise: ‘What…happened? Why do I feel so…empty.’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BQpytKPIt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnUHGPOz0A
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGEfNGwy01
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvuANYuWz1
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRgDCLBZVk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8Cjrl5TGf
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKN5j92DT7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzq4N4CMWG3
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB2nWgjzzL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDiv599gCk
She won’t be found lacking in front of her familiar, even if she is asleep.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGbjSXVGRG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYbwBsiayQO
Louise: ‘Wait…familiar…’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtW6f6mXRrm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQjQlXFvdpt
The thought of summoning not one but seven familiars eases her headache and feeling of emptiness.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnueNHTUjon
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwYN9HHX8D
Louise: ‘I did it! But no, I didn’t finish the bonding ritual. I need to finish it otherwise it won’t count!’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OKHX1eHKh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5O6ECyNDJ
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowCm26DBxP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomNHU8VWiC
Louise: ‘Is it because of that fake me I saw? Did she do something to me?! When I get my hands on her…’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRHcZXwwaf
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhVj25jYC
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP95v21Mw5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jdZjFtjFB
Louise: “Rise and shine, familiar! You have a job to do!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04MRURQBMi
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qIUVJOZV1
Her familiar tossed and turned on the hay before opening her eyes.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNhFcb5n0Z
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSdPbiRtfF
Flamma: “Morning already. Shame, I was having the best dream.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kmSqPim1a
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4xDOXFaCa
She said weakly before recognizing the voice that spoke.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdPqkLQc2g
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAAPkP9dAg
Flamma: “Louise! Are you alright?!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ507ZjznWwM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6gboVGaon
Flamma quickly got up and rushed to Louise’s side.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnreOhkbESl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7HRmtum8j
Louise: “Of course, it will take more than whatever that faker did to slow me down.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmL5LkO7o
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1J50RSkOW
She says while using all of her strength to just stand up.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxK23RgJSN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2xa0tC9fj
Flamma: “Are you sure?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63AKyOyeHc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq1zLLtmbg
Louise: “Yes! Now, we need to finish the bonding spell so can really become my familiar.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hH3DzdefM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTnKYiQDuQ
Flamma: “Well, if you have the strength.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjqhjzGCPI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzXj3ILO9s
Louise: “Good, now bring me my wand so we can do this.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFlvXRxEjw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW0AGGGEc3
Flamma quickly retrieved her wand and gave it to Louise.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfhJnxPOLL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHynGCZXOSc
Louise: “Kneel.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplUXzLON2n
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbHx4k7kiS
Flamma: “Excuse me?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKv1zY5VTv5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zhyZJzmZr
Louise: “Kneel so I can complete the spell!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpsdDdCgDP
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCyIu0l8X9
Flamma took a few moments before doing as Louise commanded. Louise then placed her wand on Flamma’s forehead before chanting.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkRmhb7XDx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqfcjWZSTc
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkemH6Fsab
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5RrRnpZxm
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX82Jx6gM3P
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn50kuQyYk0
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…
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI9UEiWzWF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps8AztjbXS
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?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7pIVTjBt4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVF07dH9L5
She wondered with amusement as Louise's plush lips made contact with her own.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2APYU4wCpS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqp0Z7pUMU
Flamma: ‘Yup, it’s her first time. Makes me wonder if Dovah ever kissed a girl. Or would be willing to…’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOmdc36CTY
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQbMXYeP4z
Louise pulled away with a slight blush before Flamma made her thoughts known.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gmbZE8lX0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe9E34GB9X
Flamma: “First kiss?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgbDUtadWk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TWvTMfSF0
Louise: “S-Shut up, familiar!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd6wz0CHRv
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFCzc8Tfc1
Flamma: “I have a name Louise. It’s Aeterna Flamma.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnotb2KNtnF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnHR1mWSlx
Louise: “Whatever, now we have to brand the rest of those disobedient famili-”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLR8G9gFZp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe7DOHqCcLi
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgXHgpi8as
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr00iehPAxY
Flamma: “I don’t think you have the strength to brand anyone. And what do you mean by brand anyway?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV7V9FMg1Q
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLzSexCCfc
Pain.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPZBXHxBlW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJeGo4Tv7g
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKM1p9HkIm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0TagQ7p9G
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAWwOsWQtS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmu14RINVy
Flamma: ‘Damn, should getting a familiar binding rune really hurt that much?!’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqtiGtGQmwn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpIdGoqZAT
Louise: “Let me…go.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7w2fYVuRU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUVb06YiX0
Flamma: “No can do. You are clearly too weak to-”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAVopwxJ6F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDF8nhbgcQ
Louise: “I’m NOT weak!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKThzhGs0EI
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyeNTgNqoo
Flamma: “Louise, you could barely stand.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHgUkrp4GK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutkq31w6ta
Louise: “I just need a moment, that’s all.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMEcrp0COV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmyhqtpV8z
Flamma: “Well, you can have that moment on the bed.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdFDxfvQ2B
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3PIz8m4xw
She says as she deposits Louise onto the bed.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgQXnueGgC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycauKrmhzh
Flamma: “I’ll stay with you until you can stand again.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtx7ZlRbJD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvORzOr3fb
Louise: “As you should. A familiar should protect their master.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkStqLcUDb2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0IAfgoMqSi
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8BBdwZTH4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJae1L40gP
Louise: “Tell me…what happened while I was out.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBcBBEQygh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4ZFmIPZff
Flamma smiled before replying.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7PwXSbtRn
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfrMroe3DW
Flamma: “Well, I have a story for you.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mThFMoHik
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgf2XOwVKO
Colbert: “Is he any better?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXHlb51xI9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm3PHGyxnC
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?
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk1z33qeSH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRQEgjV04I
“Better we think.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8pzL7mHBS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCbI2oIkjC
Colbert: “Think?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhFzSvG5O4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD7QDVhzrA
“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…”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNyLeAiZtJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdRAKTlFOr
Colbert: “But what?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknSEza18xg
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVneZW2Sbo2
“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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRZObjFp9Q
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk28fnli6XH
Colbert: “That was a smart decision. He seems to be like Louise 2, beyond what we can understand. Maybe I can ask Bench to-”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxCnqrWrCy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7yd05b0Ct
Before he could finish that thought, a nurse opened the door in a panic.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZD8Me7wd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJ5RMxbutO
“He’s awake, and having trouble breathing! He says to get his bag!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMK73CRoiZ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UDxSyVGV3
Colbert: “Where’s his bag!”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuW0zwpaUx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJjdkxOxer
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcNU5e0iLj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3575p5POR
When Colbert rushed to give the bag to the boy, he desperately pointed to the bag.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpJO4NPi7J
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrSaH7pfS8
Colbert: “What? What should I do?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOzpInW1pr
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAjUx113QX
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMXnhRi8X7
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUctnXc70Cm
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmEDclmE1h
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37CU9XMaOg
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rXCJaenVc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm1ZqrIBnM
After a minute of breathing, he sat himself up.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiK904aWuIw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCCr4IsKpz
Colbert: “Are you alright?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4yXhgd9FM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyy61hi5d0S
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcreoJbKkT
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDDQso6NHx
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdLfd7Mqd2
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcprRU1UnZQ
“Thanks, I was almost a goner.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynRHQQ5g1G
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHaS0cwFWx
Colbert: “Happy to help. Are you alright?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qNowoXwUW

“Yeah, for now.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6zzshAdvz

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eziJ4sOqE

Tech: “Name’s Tech, now my turn. Where am I?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgmp9ala0L
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0QTmF2w6V
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljA21mSZY4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5p4kJ7qvi
Tech looked at Colbert like he was crazy.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxrCalT7eX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LV5sKb2HN
Tech: “Magic? Puh-leez, no such thing.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlVMnkJcvh
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGUxi6vkMS
He said as if that was a universally understood fact. Colbert, to prove magic does exist, created fire from nothing. Tech was not impressed.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVdFc1kkcS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1c54MfsSPq
Tech: “For all I know you’re using a holoprojector. Try doing something more impossible.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCLwg9jRsb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmx6nfauVn
Colbert tried levitation.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRTOkKHzL8
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4RDD7zPlM
Tech: “Anti-gravity disks or even strings and wires.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOmEceeboy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMs5TpD8sBI
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr3aimbUjm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmVj7xzxdQ
Tech: “Okay, enough fake and tell. How did I get here?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYVszOSLK4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfGUmk5fGy
Colbert: “You were summoned by Louise as her familiar. One of seven, something that has never happened before.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5a9XfkXow
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwOMmVPyQI
Tech: “Summoned? Can you send me back?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0GxuCNAMJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7nsbHbh2N
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VRTZBRk2E
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzHDZJpHXU
Tech: “Great, another loony. Where is she?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Amfb0Nw43
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXyXeKircL
Colbert: “We’re not sure. She used a portal to go back to her own world.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4QIIVHizX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcVWoGT0sGC
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?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfKo7ntNwo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsGmlcSzmY
Colbert then proceeded to explain to him the familiar system.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iarrw1NKj
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjseiCnXix
Tech: “Hell no! I’m not being anyone’s slave. The one chick that agreed must have been desperate or stupid.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqGh7O7r9r
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1tFoZwzwf
Colbert: “Well, since Louise already has a familiar we won’t force you.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxW4bYvcOX

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpVbK1AwKx
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXLgwFf4jl
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN9MNOfMLB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3vMBtQ1Pz
Colbert: “Understandable.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJr8pq9bAxD

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Uw9l5IXi4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4hOr2DH4L
Colbert: “Alright, let’s give him some space everyone.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjwk767GrC

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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbWrqC0WIH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1GVyagLEy
Dovahkiin: ‘Morning already. Or is it afternoon?’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNelyNVIYku
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3K8Siyc7r4
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ejIVSeNXO
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7icWbXv10j
Dovahkiin: ‘I guess the disguise worked.’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1J4QQ5hA3

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

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7Yi9slute
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMgmrMXMGm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpKKSaf9Ia
Dove got to work alongside Siesta and even got into a comfortable rhythm. That gave Dove a chance to ask a question.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiWHjTgX24
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMCSDBS4cG
Dove: “Hey Siesta?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVm4XfsDfX

Siesta: “Yes?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FrmOlNkEd
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslsxM7u85P
Dove: “Is the academy hiring anyone? Maybe an assistant Chef?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jCxX5ObeB
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57rQxtQ51m
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?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiArwviVymH
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3B59I1JF1v
Dove: “Yes, me.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne4EEBkAXb

Siesta blinked and looked up at Dove.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQlLLVQssj

Siesta: “What do you mean? You’re already a maid.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWASRuxLmN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOrylzvzur
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg3BGC01vM
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77WatBpcp5
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eIjSoNDRV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyQzVzZGSh
Dove: “Was what I said wrong? S-Should I leave?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43UWL3IKho

Siesta finally blinked and shook her head.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXA0BsymYL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYVqryuiJs
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTmvkawKhl

Dove smiled gently before giving a reply.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxy98JB4PxT

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NkUveFSdG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1eUqZ5E2i
Siesta: “Yes, I think that you could get the job.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8coQaDP1Bm
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFV5HY7noe
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-?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBW46yKVAL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmSY4lHpz8

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDmJ0u5HSc
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyCSsGeiHO
From behind the two came Flamma, standing out easily with her red hair and unbeatable curves.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡin5EgjegtV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf1jFvSwcr
Siesta: “Hello Miss Flamma.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WS2qiyYkz
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdKA1c5ewK
Flamma: “Please, no miss Siesta. Thanks again for helping me bring food to Louise’s room.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaBYqg3eyb

Siesta: “It was no problem. I hope she gets better.”

She says with a smirk.

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpMriZWYSO

Before Dove could protest, Flamma grabbed her arm and dragged her to someplace more secluded.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsJzdOiRJG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREF894eur5
Once there, Flamma whispered into Dove’s ear.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoU2nCw8Ou5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB5RnQwIjF
Flamma: “Dove is it? Should I take you adopting the pet name I gave you as a sign you play for the other team?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdxzVYKEPp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEGJLcMGTXo
Dove: “No, you should not take that as a sign. It was a good name so I used it. That’s all.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjOQ8LawH3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkTjIhYEka
Flamma: “So you say.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdUXr85Cl3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J5eGEK9pZ
Dove: “Anyway, why are you here anyway? Shouldn’t you be working someplace else?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNMJZFeX9S
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlCe0nWeSb
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnCweTukH4
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB88Y1XhZn

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTVAEZ8LnV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrS6Rimhdt
Dove: “I thought you were pairing me with Zander?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPcj48uERl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPQwn1dGRA
Flamma: “That was before a certain ebony beauty got the hots for him.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxUmTorUfx

Dove: “…What?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKNu690QQS
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cX6IZGjHw
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpJt8ohXaF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiYC7TlJfL
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV39wb0FQwL
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwLyEQVS13
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.’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaEFIAQOgG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfhhMv5Ibu
Aside from moments like that, all was well in the world. That was until a tall and seductive ebony woman approached.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mJnsUusyR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1tR4S4vD
Zander: ‘Oh, here we go again.’
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKzFWEoY7u

Kirche: “Good afternoon.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuewbVmIPLV

Zander: “Hello, good afternoon. Is there something you need?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iZ37RDXmV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GxLYj1Ubl
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB9QNm779t
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGRUkggura
Zander looked behind Kirche and noticed the blue-haired girl reading a book while holding a staff larger than her small frame.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXLGlm99mX
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiPYplXf9W
Zander: “I am Zander. Likewise.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYAjFUb3eF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOZlfL2eCR
Kirche: “So the talk of the school is that one of Louise’s summons was a noble. More than that, a prince.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwS96vVJan
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjN8OMkxpX
Zander chuckled before answering.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0c2rJIa7J
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bhxDBb5fZ
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkvWpROo8t
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK9wdhc6d0
Zander frowned before continuing.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA277w6Il67
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZxuETKK1R
Zander: “I guess I’m more of a king consort than a prince. Even if we’re not married.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyJiXrUkUk
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJdGAZA6Sw
Kirche: “Colleagues? You mean the female summons?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqvAndJq4l
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsGSH63eqD
Zander: “Oh no, I mean the priestesses of my home.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvH44EADs5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeqdhOZaPa
Kirche: “Priestesses?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtRNtSGBqD
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkcWWesq4t
Zander: “Well, they’re more or less like queens.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrKLeFNGoW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsIuXL5bjU
Kirche eyes bulged with lust, imagining a future where she is one of these queens.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4D7uMp60j
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4npo3uoZYV
Kirche: “Queens you say. I would love to know more, how about over dessert? Are you hungry?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpq5JlzefOC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1tsQCjEiJ
Zander: “…A little.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bIt4kZ66x
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw34bB7qqd
Kirche: “Great, follow me to the outside dining area. Dessert should be arriving shortly. Tabitha, come.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScerTpUbU0
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQDnzKYuXk
As the trio walked to their seats, Kirche started with her questions.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRP61AeE0V
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4jH5yQPzi
Kirche: “Your Majesty, If I may be so bold-”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2c8iRvNvy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu3AOogwDa
Zander: “Zander is fine.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7XRIWPpHU
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkyxcIcmyV
Kirche: “Then, Zander, if I may be so bold, how many queens do you have?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0odA7CAGZ6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKgvPz9LUr
Zander: “If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, then none. We’re not in that kind of relationship.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1wapmvneb
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVP0z7p6sE
Kirche: “Then how does one find himself the king consort of several queens?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgofhhBPcl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLN7Oh2pkm
Zander: “From where I’m from, few men can perform magic.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLeSsVdyKE
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVXPTqeqEJ
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUcKm1Wh9O
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN9A1OhV8z
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyG5qZfKR3
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcogj2yxWqz
Kirche: “Such as?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8IsP1umso
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8KkhDT18F
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkMQDCn5qF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIIu7agsZG
Kirche: “And what did you do?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8NkzwZv7Q
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B14ReJ4UM
Zander smiled bitterly, recalling old memories through glazed eyes.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmPDBHJ9kp
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuVbKJahic
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…”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LllOXmZ9W
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZST0u5zoek
Zander sighed before ending his list of accomplishments.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPTTHkVD8h
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwyxaAciuL
Zander: “I founded immortality.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJhnL6UTX6
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXE0TCsgfP
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5kfBZys3B
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3If640KCEU
Kirche: “W-What do you just say?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5OPxqb8Ev
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSUND1jjXE
Zander: “I was busy and I’m not eager to meet the Gods.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkbFqcN2CC
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftF5jRVBYu
Kirche: “But immortality?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Lfnsfq8Q
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrSfZYh33B
Zander: “I’m 756 years old.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT2rH0kT4F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTvVfYR3Ig
Tabitha: “Old.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhYHoqzwep
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8TjUf45wq
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkZ6ms7eck
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5DTWTiFGl
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoSsWq2Lcw
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYCYytnM1M
Kirche: “Sacrificing the queens?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrYAdppJQR
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw2mhLNseD
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NJ4OgrG2B
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDHxETtHWE
Kirche: “How romantic. Facing Gods to spend eternity with your beloved.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqnJ1tCG4o
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bjHfLAeze
Zander: “I look after my-”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2yHCslTle

“Would anyone like some pie!?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaYcd5YODq
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz7RBcuQDj
The trio were surprised by the voices of the maids nearby. Turning they saw a trio of maids.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgCdiLbMy
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9RxJMvV3b
One a common sight around the academy, black-haired and sweet, Siesta.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQe6lZqT0v
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEQa5NqI2w
One a recent sight around the academy, red-haired and Louise’s familiar, Flamma.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUuzqCCDNV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ7Nu6cCbo
Between those 2 was a completely new face, one that was gunning for the table where Zander and Kirche were.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrGEM8FyyA
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWXzy0lXkf
Dove: “Would any of you like some Cherry Pie? I made it myself.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMV9ysHfZrK
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSr1Lcck7dl
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dskYd2fTN
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4vKFEoW3C
Tabitha: “Please.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdiqbalVFYq
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAW6eOK8AVH
Dove: “I’m sorry, what do you mean?”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLWEF8SgfF
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ752o0ZLvj9
Tabitha: “Pie.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmL8vqXPsuG
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0iE6dhjOH
Dove: “Oh, sorry I didn’t understand you.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxDZAkKRn5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7lT2F5ITo
Tabitha took the offered pie and started eating. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Tabitha quickly finished it, immediately asking for seconds.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4y3AfWkoW
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg72oGpT55
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4KEM1sF5F
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKBaN4qfEI
Dove: ‘Like a baby bird…’

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9y3ZBc3fh

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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7GerdRDXu
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeyP98pXoH
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHFUJ6dRg9
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmMR8Lnoo3
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMFjkb9AeV
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUD0Xvqeoa
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAspT2MFBm5
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56mYq1hHIn
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLp4kusRvt
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLvaU59WNB
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0EHLltoUl
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynYCwgCtwT
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvcxvaIJUo
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJC8pfCt8w
This observation and testing went on until a ruckus dragged everyone’s attention. A very loud ruckus that involved a playboy and Siesta.

316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRop25KYFaQ
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.
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wxDGJ2xdJ
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEhsJbNUjn
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.”
316Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5trK4euHb

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.
