Siesta was blown away by what she was seeing. A white clean world with strange tasting air unlike anything she was used to. Regardless, she stepped onto a strange large platform with her dearest friends. Then it shook before sinking down, making her grab onto Dove.

Once the platform was deep enough, two sets of steel doors closed over head. Then the door before them opened revealing a very large room.

All around, the group saw things being moved about by metal arms moving on their own. Little metal golems flew about, fiddling and carrying things around the complex.

To everyone but Dove, it was strange and alien.

After saying his piece, Tech made his way over to an another platform and spread out his arms, waiting. After a second, hands and arms came out and aided in removing his armor then reassembling it on a nearby rack. They then gave him back his goggles and headphone before he came back down. But something was off, he was a little…pale.

Tech led the group to another lift which took them to another room above. Not as large as the last but it was more organized, something like a dorm room.

Dove opened the closest door and to her surprise, it had a medieval style design. Not quite the Nord design she’s used to but it’s better than everything else here.

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQBL23NFhA

Flamma looked at them and wondered if she should reveal what she felt. Would they use Louise and abuse her potential? After a moment, the answer was clear to see.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9he0a1PVrS
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCyp6qw8AV
Tech is too proud to do it, Dove has no need of it and Siesta is too sweet. But how much to tell, that’s the question.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBNKDP4YnF
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJ66FWUzJc

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakktN07F3p
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpIDL6yqqE
Flamma: “Yes, Louise has Void Magic but it’s more than that. The power I sensed within her is…incredible. It’s may even surpass my power.”

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXw7fKibzy

Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.

Unbeknownst to everyone in Tech’s base, something had slithered in. A snake on a mission. But even Aeron had to admit that the place was well secured and impressive.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZriiULbDrQ
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGU6HFSfA
But it’s magical defenses were lacking and made it easier than expected to invade. At first, he was going to get in, kill Tech, and get out. But he lucked out and heard some interesting information about Louise.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcewjCAArH6
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayxzoICaXZ
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUWNDXPpgt
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFa6QTnbpnv
Aeron made sure to follow Tech to his room. The room was the cleanest he’s ever seen and was covered in soft shades of white and blue. Tech went to a strange capsule and taped on a panel with bumps. The capsule opened and Aeron saw his chance. While in his invisible snake form, he used a modified Ray of Sickness on Tech.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXB10ghiLe

Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.

Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVPW0Yuy5p
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8l11WucPa
Aeron slithered away with a smile while Tech got into the capsule. The poison was made slow but this way, no foul play would be suspected. Tech is sickly after all.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbeRg3SJ5c
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O2M04Lnyd
Thanks to a small A.I sphere named NAVI that emerged from the data pad, the maid trio learned much more about the world of Tech. And it was…a lot to process.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxJBP6AQ6w
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7bfcquRCQ
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQam4h1qLX
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i3lnjEdqJ
Flamma: “I’m more surprised that Tech was sick like this his whole life. For him to then spit in destiny’s face and still succeed at life is badass. Even becoming whatever a CEO of Innovation Industries is sounds impressive.”

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjGvnQ8xTP
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0Z9obiwhZ

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyTLUGI7eD
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZHFylvldn

74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqDxhNX8qq
As for Siesta, she couldn’t help but feel some dread. This world was already so terrible to commoners like her. But after learning about Tech’s world, the world became so much more dangerous.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttI9jQIhUc
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnTX9auNfC
What if more like Tech came here and weren’t as nice as him? What would happen to her and her friends? What if one of the nobles got a hold of this power?
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEYHgCbEIn
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8cjirikLJ
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

Raskreia got up and ran to the duo while waving her hands. But something flashed in the corner of her vision. By instinct, she raised her finger and used Fire Bolt on whatever she sensed.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCV9ZJiMeM

Jake jumps over the school walls and disappears into the coming night.

Raskreia: “Such a troublesome kid. Makes me wonder what made him this way. Sorry, everyone, maybe I made mistake. False alarm.”

Zander: “Are you sure?”

Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPfAgnkSmG
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WZ6WzNZjN
Flamma: “I’m on my way to Louise, we’ll talk on the way. See you tomorrow Siesta.”

Raskreia and Flamma proceeded to leave the rest of the group behind. However, despite outwardly focusing on her conversation with Flamma, she couldn’t help but think back to what she sensed before.

It was a sight that nearly drove Louise to hurl. Hanging in the air with some sort of strands keeping her afloat was her fake.

She was a mangled mess but the pink hair made it clear who it was. She wanted to destroy this mockery to herself but her sad state…stayed her hand.

Bench: “I don’t have much time to explain but the short answer is I don’t know and it’s a long story. I have some ideas to explain the first one but they are unscientific. Right now, I just want to finish my repairs for today. I already wasted a day trying to get the local clinic to work for me and then transforming this shack into something manageable.”

With nothing more to say, Louise leaves the transformed shack confused and dejected. What was really distressing was the pulling feeling she got when around her fake. As if she was being sucked into a whirlpool.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsPOZGTk1F
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hmN7SoXyf
The thought of giving into the sensation…terrifiedher. She wanted…no…needed to escape this feeling.

Louise: “I-I-I know. It’s only natural for a familiar to be there for their master. Now, why is she is here? Is she ready to become my familiar too?”

That got Louise to fume red while Flamma giggled at how adorable Louise can be.

In the shadows of the night, Aeron was collecting himself after his brush with failure. He wasn’t scared of a fight but he’s unsure if he could win if he was revealed at that moment.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg5djv6DEc
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQZ71BCmb6
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB7wY5FtTH

Aeron: ‘He noticed but didn’t do anything, interesting. Maybe he could be a good tool for later. Speaking of tools…’

He needed to step his plans up. He needed Louise firmly on his side and maybe another pawn in this game if he is to survive and win. He can’t afford to be caught now.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGYkh6FAyo
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPJu3mWeAe
Luckily for him, the pieces were already in place.

Guiche is probably bitter about his lose, a perfect mind to send over the edge.

Siesta was alone and vulnerable, a useful pawn and possible ally depending on how he pulls this off.

Finally, night was coming. Flamma and the other familiars should be asleep soon. It would be risky but what’s life without some form of gamble.
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetC9HZgYEz
74Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TDCBuLEso
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
