Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93O7rXUCVY
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkokexatlWe
Not just any mobs either.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo6dPb7e4b
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNEifuvihH
These were twin field bosses.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFdoDYlGGu
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vIrSEcP2I
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1t1Zoeqtr
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvl0VFuFOR
That, and they hated carrots.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0VOcppR1N
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-
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnIFZjMid8
‘Now!’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJO0OUJ8cyS
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP86BEDjwAw
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObEsL5GPJO
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RoLCwETYb
Falling Sword 442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVUFQ4I2pQ
Fell Crescent
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmzi3Ogpcc
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pD3KT2rFI
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMW4PiJY03
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYljK0kZ3cX
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCJ0QZe7qx
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbswGNqiFE
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ9sJ1SQMM
“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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfooZHQlviW
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiTNYTNgjc
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMoiP7W68E
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLLnXBQgg7
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJM3t4FaDb
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHAfN8tzK5
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDXHHQiXpa
Saito grinned morbidly.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslYKtZe5A
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SFyqN85ly
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXAB3Kxf415
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqwcLim77h
CLANG!
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qc4wqgQYh
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmu1hFCLs0e
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Uo8uzB1pr
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCsmwstbk3
“Ragh!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiyiMreIpM
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwhn2yP6hq
“Ren, pad! Go!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHG8MVSlvG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmzeuHNnzS
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoUdcUSMO6
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOJILrPRCN
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGHbdKwtto
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZI7tCHQqC
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL0WOb94Dp
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAYxbAKqFP
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObCJnFkzqD
“COME AND GET IT!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXEp4RcR4R
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELlnkmdBwM
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggHdw9Yydv
VWEEE!
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5UyP47tNh
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTneybIwzy
WHOOM!
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXRsPBJ6Nd
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC7NWltGCg
‘What the absolute-’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuqk5W39vC
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzshCCFJHg
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCjim2Wf8q
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.”

…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0g64C8SJL
“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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ8DdOlPgC
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI91SOVeif
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1UiBm3ZMc
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZp81OwMC6D
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyCOSNrwaj
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RaBMHjYIa
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxm6NEpk3TM
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxmH9Y40Yy
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv4ZofNuy7
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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddT9s2XVOJ
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYk6QoySZu
“Or every quest is different.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZBoNOkAZi
Jyun nodded.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoGRJWIVYn
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF0OUjdgpR
“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!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XvXCriGAc
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7smBfMIbV
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutsHBA3Zaj
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wkk8Ui6po
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdCyMzCaEJ
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADoeJrnGIl
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0FnUUx8tb
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhBMc6Uwe5
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAE4iWGop07
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqvW73hgiL
They were about to get scolded.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡua01yJpd1e
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qV0wGxQip
However, she soon calmed down.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrL0AtbwTQq
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT72gF6F0j
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIu8cxVwXFL
“Mhm.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QyGdpue3H
“Got it, Kirie.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhUroOsclR
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9usyFstCwU
“Saito.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOILSm00dfF
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T2JyLpx4m
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXO9rq864G
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1JNmzmfCQ
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6EXnBo7Y0
‘Wow, actual advice.’
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgIwa0XE8H
“Right… okay.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJ1VnxTTW2
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL743AkOmG
“Are you who they say you are?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kmmTd99CK
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRsbRhLupi
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ccgiCPkeG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoEPARVUdR
“Uhhh…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCrO15qwe8
“If so open your old heart to us…”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O2m2jNHsG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2jkJalz1o
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fgFzgwHIJ
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC3uUxGEdY
...and everything went quiet.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ093NIehIC1
The winds stopped.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6966Rks0GJ
The light dimmed.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgf7LRUqVTt
The trees halted their rustle.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXxMXZRgQ0
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-
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwvx7iFTr7
Phoosh!
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N6ChOBfKG
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6gpZbgjhz
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5c7Tt8btfP
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8HjzGWJMC
“Is that-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPwOLGn0zR
“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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIfGbIJyQH
So he decided to look too.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAKp4IXt12
And boy, did he empathize.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3sw4OVkZB
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClfQIyThGB
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C2LLdxZhQ
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCQyahvFjD
“Let's goooo!!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOMoRNpSiF
“Yayyy!!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRHpBVYxdc
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLg6nyuWfn
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJ4jcyHx4d
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktyief0c1I
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImExTcgDe
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRakDtu8rf
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtnI8GvM1r
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RPQBWccYx
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqDYyirBgI
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSlG7ew3TB
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMwUaCctLb
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIY9YZgECB
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw7EIfe3v4
“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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb9cHC2L9L
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4RJuIF9BE
“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.”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61roE46dFx
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccb7wdQAKR
“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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxRtTzb2G7
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92BV6sqk8H
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J3qU094Mt
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLoZwtoPcLR
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CEtpaBgd4
Saito gulped hard.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyEQrgatho
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.
442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JyaNh6V5O
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.442Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmNraek0AC
