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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oDkPVkeeT

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.

Tech: “And getting branded like an animal, I might add.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwhWQd1wHn
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZblJM5G9o
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlc1fLsBHjN
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcU3NLKKfT
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu2Z05kZI9
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuCqAet1UY

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBjOwUgmh5
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL4fyqXWXZ
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.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGoWUWxnXj
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM1UCCgkvv
Dove: “Y-You’re surely joking.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrIjH3mZO8

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afOvKGgYJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5VfA2I3ig

Tech hands the three of them a steel rod with a blue slit down the center.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrfW3G1l1t

Dove: “I’d rather a sword.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HUeYDWcI2
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjXOpp0H1t
Before Flamma can quip herself, a thin sheet of harden light shot out from the side of the rod.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk0hAJrsF3
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfg69qYl2U

Siesta: “How do we use this?”

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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQPZ1rN4ar
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoozDODZfu
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZBLZfZ095
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1XjiHuJ9k
Aeron: ‘Her value just went up. If I’m lucky, I may even be able to steal this Void Magic for myself. But first…’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSz2ud3Knhh
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGdFmQNtIz
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWJlnPwm1z
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxVnFTpach
Tech slumbed forward a bit but catching himself. He shook his head before regaining his footing.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTkVfnQWHJ
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtGmZs8PMo
Tech: “Whoa, I might need this more than I thought.”

Aeron: ‘That’s one threat dealt with.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfc5vEEmXu
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OqQLCYHME
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PuV6C6fDI
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iQPFjoKc0
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreztJjZ2ij
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd72XBpyHAG
Siesta: “Tech’s world is scary…”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb2l8hZk9w
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzVR31PmkA
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.”

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvZN5kdncf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqp4NEiRS2
Flamma: “A bit, but I doubt Tech can bring all of that to bear. Besides, you fought that Ravager and these things are comparable. I’m not worried.”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWp3wiir6a
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscnBaryND6
Dove: ‘I wouldn’t want to fight hundreds of them though.’
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYmV6qJ5Kf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhM46cHqQg
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyo66fyO3e
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJqi8bSVf
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?
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRRshvBUTA
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmZmaqxDiI
So many scenarios raced through her mind and it only worsen her feelings of helplessness. She trusted her dear friends but…

But at least that blue dragon wasn’t around. Even thinking about it made him click his tongue in annoyance. Its fascination with him was getting on his nerves.

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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFBiA1g4Vr

When the flaming bullet hit the grass, everyone looked at Raskreia with a mix of confusion and outrage.

Jake came up from behind and unlike everyone, he could see the snake making his escape.

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?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW7SCodDDg
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUwI0jTpl9
Raskreia: “Yep. But enough of my blunder, Flamma, got a moment to talk?”
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEOsXYn9UU

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.

34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWdvNv2TQg
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.”

Louise: “…Will she be fine?”

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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabFUqTWTUe
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoIFI0re2v
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZdB0CCqWf
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0TBr3dVCm
Raskeria alone may be his equal. That’s not even counting Zander and Flamma. But Jake is interesting…
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrcjBKo0RF
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoqBL6ZhaN
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlv56IAurMz
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4qGIBdHTx
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.
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVBYAjtj5h
34Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHluOITfJm4
Aeron casts alter self so he looks like Siesta before making his way to Guiche.
