Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX07B4zekw9
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgo1ZLAyj3
Not just any mobs either.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqUMMwy0qJ
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoSeG5E0Cx
These were twin field bosses.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLHNnjozGi
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyAgks6zMX
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYi1Vsyi9Z
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnelmGbt2Kw
That, and they hated carrots.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3aHph9W0y
Saito rolled his eyes at the thought, currently descending from the treetops he was waiting in. If his plan was correct then they’d converge at the same spot, around-
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxjZK7zfgn
‘Now!’
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1UIqowF99
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlmBeQB8AE
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVc1008Mm0T
He caught Saito’s look, and as the two Ragus converged into the same spot, tongues, and fangs gnashing every which way, the players activated their skills.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ6bf12oJy
Falling Sword 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmy0RC8E3A
Fell Crescent
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdRdNBrpI8
Saito’s body seemed to elongate as he covered the final 4-meter distance within the span of 0.4 seconds. His eyes glinted wide as he swiftly plunged his luminescent, curved blade right into the White Ragu’s skull.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9utLdQQVyN
Jyun was a tad later, however, he made his presence clear, whipping his sword arm through the air and slicing right through the spinal apex of the mob’s back.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou9LqSXN4u
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOVUSlo4Ol
Saito grunted as he pulled for his weapon, now messily riding atop the White Ragu. Its skull felt like steel gnashing against Saito’s blade, and the curly-haired player growled with frustration.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQDnm5ZPZy
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQejriInRs
As if over Saito’s antics, The White Ragu crashed into a nearby tree and fell straight through, sending the player and a bunch of forestries every which way.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojw9zH2OlS
“Cugh! Ack!” Saito coughed as his body skipped across the ground. He threw his free hand down to slow himself and forced his legs to stretch out and gain traction.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEZoa286Mh
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAdfG2Fofh
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzg7ukp4jc
The Black Ragu rushed into the clearing right after its buddy, and Saito saw no Jyun. His Searching skill confirmed it. His eyes returned to their regular brown, the green glow fading, along with his patience.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PQFkX0lGb
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGo97rWsypl
The lovely sound deafened Saito and left him frozen. He grunted, yet still could not move. Eyes wide, he spied his health bar, and indeed, his worst nightmares were true.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f3GrVutjP
He’d been Stunned. The ten-second timer was already on 8, but it wouldn’t be fast enough, Saito was a goner, and it seemed the Ragu knew it too, a sickly smile coming to life on its hideous face.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflnNaVLGWi
Saito grinned morbidly.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbGewvmwis
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHm9nmyiUGI
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHyYsZIxSB
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbaaXyOxHS
CLANG!
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2K8jwZ4i7
Saito’s eyes slowly widened as flecks of blonde flowed into his view. Slamming her pentagonal metal against those wicked claws, Kirie appeared out of nowhere.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GknNiA2KO
The green light emanating off her guard sputtered and burst through every moment of the clash and Kirie’s scarlet eyes bored daggers at the killer bunny.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFucvKDLmfw
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2Ru9M20q9
“Ragh!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P7yUINt8Y
Like magic, the Ragu’s claws were instantly thrown back as if ricocheted by an unknown force. This was thanks to her skill, Push, and it had been heavily upgraded since her first use of it back on Floor 1.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQYp8ZvtPi
“Ren, pad! Go!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIssFlC3Yy
Saito looked back just in time to see a flash of red fly by. His head cocked back as his eyes took in the sight.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNSy2eBZSX
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOhh5rvjBv
The blonde lowered her hands from her previous parry and hunkered down keeping her shield above her. Another skill began to load up as Ren launched herself at the glowing metal.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrvilm9Z6d
As soon as Kirie felt Ren land, she flexed her muscles and ground her teeth, thrusting her body upward and throwing her arms into the air with, subsequently, Ren herself.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWqz6cYoGV
Red locks flying through the wind, Ren struggled to aim herself right where she wanted, but with a downward angle of her liking, she was ready.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCA2JDF29G
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXi2JZfLsU
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOy54RdGWy
New prey had been acquired, and Ren grinned like the madwoman she was, reeling her arm back. Her spear suddenly ignited with a blue flare and she sucked in as much air into her lungs as possible.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZZu08dAXL
“COME AND GET IT!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eDxqrJzw5
The White Ragu catapulted into the air, aggroed to Ren and her alone. What would follow Ren’s banshee-like screech would be an animalistic show of strength, as the redhead chucked her spear with reckless abandon.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRXbx1H7Dw
The polearm jettisoned through the air like a shooting star and when it impacted with the tip of the Ragu’s cranium, an azure, four-pointed shockwave blasted out from every which way.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hyQFFhNB6
VWEEE!
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKBczHdSsb
The spear spun at such a high velocity that Javelin Toss completely bored through the mob, blasting out the back of the boss and flying straight into the ground.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2NfghsfRM
WHOOM!
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uJGagMqKb
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQYNwW9A2l
‘What the absolute-’
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzSb1erpwE
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmSQ4zuM6a
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx9Gdw3wuM
Saito flourished his curved sword as Ren landed in a roll next to them, and Calder jogged up on the opposite side. With Kirie leading the charge, the four would join their compatriots in taking down what was essentially indistinguishable from a homeless person’s fever dream.

“Are you who they say you are…? The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of u-unity? If so open your old heart to us, so that we can prove our worth as your… saplings? What the hell.”

…
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWzrE6wkQM
“Okay is that really what it says on there?” Ren asked, red hair swaying as she walked up next to Saito. She squinted, looking over his shoulder.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnbrp0ncnq
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0v6OLp82s6
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt0t4Rzozt
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlYp3hbsHb
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaE6vfJW6kA
Irene, Tamashi, Calder, and Jyun all failed miserably at hiding their laughter and Saito’s subsequential glare aimed to pierce right through Trinity, who confidently smiled back.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bWMQBeD50
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5ajeDmcvM
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ7IAD14Gh
Calder rubbed his chin with his free hand, his other crossed in his arms. “No one that we’ve talked to about the guild formation quest has ever given us the same answer.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6g1um3Bqi
Holi nodded. “That is true, the DDA said they had to secure a baby dragon, the ALS is rumored to have fought against a tribe of Blood Orcs, and the KOB won’t even release what they had to go through to complete the quest.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNOsMcNEVd
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHbxeeYSDQ
“Or every quest is different.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiko9Dgzaw
Jyun nodded.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqErYod7hqB
“Argo herself stated that guilds never had matched up stories. Accessing the quest was different, as well as completing it. Which means our experience will be completely original. Finding the smallest tree bark in the Wavering Forest was our first clue from the quest giver, but others may have had different beginnings.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oGmLnQDZi
“I like that.” Ren popped her fist into the palm of her other hand. “Gunning down our own path from the start. I can definitely get behind that. Let’s hurry this up, Saito, I wanna get a move on!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTBKwhpjnb
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdjlONPjeA
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xl3awPnnl
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEE5UiDzxS
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0jBgA4pzD
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb8pfSYFzj
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRUBaP7d27
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs0wFguyuP
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeOExKxliD
Kirie’s deafening whistle would put a screeching stop to their antics, and Ren and Saito froze where they were. Kirie frowned and Irene covered her ears out of habit.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnHEBAp3oR
They were about to get scolded.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAetzmPUTP
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAzSNeC1cT
However, she soon calmed down.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdma7zsnZPY
“Come on you guys, let’s be serious about this. Saito try one more time, and if it doesn’t work, you give it to Ren.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3BC714ZxD
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv0I8wcxmj
“Mhm.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeVV64tC5C
“Got it, Kirie.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO6F2I7P3D
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQEIY4kjYV
“Saito.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSZT9Mci8v
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8JbvPI6wb
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXegGFrheX
“How you phrased the statement last time sounded like a question. This time, say it like you believe it. Maybe it needs more conviction in the words, like those old Lord of the Rings characters do.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj3LtYtE6T
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaRQSII3Fa
‘Wow, actual advice.’
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVpjl6e61p
“Right… okay.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlLbyZEseL
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHEgMcPFbG
“Are you who they say you are?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDUd5XUnTE
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPc3RDSugU
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQUATyjhiu
Ren took a step back, staring weirdly at the tree trunk in front of them. It began to crack, little by little, and she could’ve sworn little specks of light were shining through.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFuqtzVHGp
“Uhhh…”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfaewMj4Um
“If so open your old heart to us…”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P3aXfkX9P
The winds picked up, and the light became brighter from inside the tree trunk. Calder and Jyun reached for their weapons, while Tamashi and Irene lowered their stances, Holi went to stand by Kirie who was now staring crazily at the shining tree.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS88KH0lACF
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHUyZuZkDT
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5MmIpOTqZ
...and everything went quiet.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1s7xTT8ODm
The winds stopped.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rGkhdMO0F
The light dimmed.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxhrL5OHEB
The trees halted their rustle.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTee974aBVg
No one in the group made a sound or a movement. They wouldn’t dare let a breath loose, for they could all sense this was the calm before whatever was going to-
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuw81tOug6o
Phoosh!
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESJePkovTV
The tree suddenly split in half as a light beamed from within, then expanded. Saito and his friends were assaulted with a brilliant light, covering their faces and shrinking away from the marvelous shine.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPbkhlkHq4
Saito tried to reach out with his other senses, relying on his Listening skill to hear anything outside of the curses and yelps of his group mates.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHXK2rk3K
Then he heard it, something very telltale to his ears. He’d played enough MMOs and heard enough corridor crystals break to remember that noise, and remember it well.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Y1bF0MX0Z
“Is that-”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBKwF2c4yy
“Woah, guys,” Ren spoke up over the others, prompting them to slowly lower their guards. When Saito dropped his arms and dared his eyes open, he would see Ren gazing forward, her brown orbs focused on something they couldn’t pry away from.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR3jIWte1W
So he decided to look too.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gW1kPllU3
And boy, did he empathize.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVk5ps7uGWP
There, encompassed within the circular construction of the old tree, a mass of golden energy swirled within itself, the humming of kinetic power tickled against Saito’s eardrums, and his mouth split into a big grin.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5E3Z5fP2D
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OEUWQz2tI
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOx0J0JCX3T
“Let's goooo!!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQub7EqsN
“Yayyy!!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDSzCJETjy
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAb4wwYKiH
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6E4EWHaB6
However, the information was correct. The good Argo delivered once again. Before Saito could speak, Ren strode forward ahead of him and turned to the group.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAYd7lyw0D
At that moment, the portal glistened behind her, its golden light accentuating the highlights of red in her hair, like the deepest flame you’d ever seen.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m4YSD87Js
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaBiSV5xfH
“I’ll take one group, and Saito will take another. Since we’re more than 6 we can’t all be in the same party, so we’ll work together in two groups.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFnkgkHG9
She opened her menu with a downward swipe of her hand and began to equip her Labyrinth armor, as did everyone else. They were down on Floor 3 so they didn’t really need much protection from mobs.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZzHJgM12s
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCMvxetXcq
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjiCRv9DtN
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw648K6XGIb
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIErOwlCGpU
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxiQhDpHqB0
“We’re only doing this for precaution. Considering this is a guild quest, the system may try us all as one party for this special occasion.” Ren interjected.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eXOUumL4r
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGYwD8pVIM
“Remember, every guild has given us different answers about the quest. Assume nothing about this and stick to your groups, but beyond that, stay together.”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZTH7FPIG2
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC1RPrAgd1
“Don’t worry about your backs, I got them. Just move forward.” She said, slipping her brand new heater shield to her arm, and tightening the strap, its surface hissing with forlorn. She then unsheathed her broadsword.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZUpf9Ahzp
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRVxnRMyp3
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsTItTNQkZ
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcCBR2WPdz
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3TEBUP5PA
Saito gulped hard.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiU8xMX1LgN
With that swallow went his retort, his add-ons, and any facial hint of disagreement or qualm. He sucked it up and breathed it out, expending it slowly and surely from his system.
394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP6wpZh8Ty
When he opened his eyes again they were half-lidded, calm, and calculating. As Ren and Kirie continued with instructions and words of encouragement, Saito inspected his team silently. Said eyes flitted through the various members of this little group and his mind’s engine flipped on.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiW7v73sDYs
