Two white and black blobs, shot through the forest like bullets, banging against the thick trees of Floor 3’s famous misty expanse.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5sHzWQwL
They screeched an inhumane screech, and on closer look, they would reveal to be mobs.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJVyE7U7U5
Not just any mobs either.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DpxabVkPp
The holographic names floating above their heads would give away their statuses.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdoCL3Up0m
These were twin field bosses.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ5TCVcCPC
Rabbid Ragus to be exact. 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfykiLyMATg
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhbqreZTdM
Apparently reuniting a lost bunny with another bunny meant both bunnies turned into hideous creatures and tried to chomp your head off.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0y4Xrucyg
That, and they hated carrots.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KGGNMMa6p
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-
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxQWPX8JaX
‘Now!’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAmOPWmFsj
Saito glanced forward as time seemed to slow down.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwziIwFuzCP
Falling, right across from him, a black-haired boy, equipped with a shortsword and a dagger readied himself.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSjixBd09s
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBzg6SOhDi
Falling Sword 473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSRFFfzZy6
Fell Crescent
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6v1V3PYWN
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHVKX623py
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5I2T3qMHT
WR: 43% (-10%)
BR: 56% (-5) (+5% B)
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbR6QMiftv
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NvYNKL4ZP
“How the hell was that not a kill shot?! I stabbed you in the flipping head! Are you just not anatomically corr- Wo-Woah!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkwwCD95Ex
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwlx3HagE1
“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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0fkzakcVI
Thankfully they’d now found a clearing in the misty forest.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor8h1VHt4w
‘All the space they could ever need. Is this why they were running away from us?’ Saito thought tiredly, scanning the battlefield.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFx8q4XqUX8
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4Slb121Bc
However, he would barely get to express his annoyance as the White Ragu roared again, like the monster it was.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBGao4MLKV
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7lD4GlOlV
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd5qZw31Hf
Saito grinned morbidly.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0chjn0J01Q
“You’re one nasty bunny.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEwbaRTps7
The Ragu raised its serrated claws, priming them for the slaughter.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcdLsiui4c
And with a final swipe, Saito thought he was a goner.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hgrwvCqFF
CLANG!
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8WVJAwgau
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTiw1Fk9QE
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY3jFgNdvr
Suddenly her shield exploded in a furious flash of white and Kirie threw her arms up.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDxi0iDgTl
“Ragh!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUo4DYCNoT
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPP1yU35Y8j
“Ren, pad! Go!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Jlr9oVf9C
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeyNGDu2yq
Ren, the redhead Hellcat herself, rushed forward like an experienced javelin thrower, pumping her arms up and down as she swiftly neared Kirie.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFbjYFdqQx
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOI2VlkBxk
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkCx33g3nB
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6QwizRhS
“HEY FLUFFLES!” She screamed.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BPnkxPx4R
The white bunny reared its head upward, red eyes glinting with glee.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWXxNIqnyz
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblEmXU2QiO
“COME AND GET IT!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVolTIxjbsF
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuat2QVN1Ws
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYI9r3J0ieX
VWEEE!
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaeRDLkByl
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbpGh4EdDh
WHOOM!
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vaDjcz9XV
Another shockwave ensued from the impact and Saito was left mouth ajar as all that remained were lightly sprinkled remnants of data.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo2wsXkmHt
‘What the absolute-’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qP4bCobb
“Saito get your ass up!” Kirie yelled running over and extending her hand. “We still got one more.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4KcLcIEAu
Saito blinked as the Black Ragu raged right behind them, now tussling with the newest members of the group, Tamashi, Jyun, and Irene.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OxXhlhCdN
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.

20 Minutes Later
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEfrHUQrTz
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogfl2QfQrr
“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.”

473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qkN4XOOVg
…
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmzkRRYZ9V
“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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UbYG75Xdg
“You really think I’d come up with that extravagant mess on my own? Psha.” Saito snorted.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjFjiprFZT
“Exactly,” Trinity agreed, inspecting her nails, her other arm resting against the hilt of her slender rapier.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOJCHSbl3v
The violet-haired teen smirked smugly.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6pXu4vW9d
“Saito doesn’t have words like “allyship” in his vocabulary.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9BJt2I8pE
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U42KN6zwy
“Alright, alright,” Kirie said, clapping her hands twice. “Let’s focus up, people. This is the quest we’ve been waiting for.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ciFq1Dduj
“Exactly,” Tamashi agreed with a wry grin. “The guild formation quest!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PV8pQMlql
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVRUoyHScS
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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92a5MFDfN7
“Which means, either someone’s lying,” Saito said, staring right at the tree bark in front of him.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KVRSEBgrC
“Or every quest is different.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2DkQ2xwdg
Jyun nodded.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaR3i5AZPR
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSr9HCjNwH
“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!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlLEp88UA6
Saito threw his hands in the air, parchment and all.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymaI67HkCY
“I would if I knew how it worked! I said the line, nothing happened.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN49PMJMsg
“Well, maybe it needs someone else to say it. Gimme.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZD8yZ2qQc
“Wait what? No, I'm the leader, I’m saying it!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZvpJkzK8C
“Saito we don’t have time for this, gimme the paper!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg3L2acQ1a
“Ren stop! We agreed! Guild leader gets to say it!!! WE AGREED!!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhECe4XL5Bd
“AGREEING DOESN’T HELP US START THE QUEST!!!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6pZB3QVKM
FWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwFXElnlvd
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4eh0Xol6v
They were about to get scolded.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXRhhwttHr
And boy did they, Kirie spent the next 30 seconds ripping them a new one, it was so bad even Trinity winced for them.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡib7VAA2Z2s
However, she soon calmed down.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0upeanFT
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5203661B5
The two looked at Kirie, then each other, before pulling themselves away and straightening out.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvbMpjhmVI
“Mhm.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam4QT3BQy
“Got it, Kirie.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigxkJXTrW9
Taking a deep breath, Saito was about to speak, before Trinity chimed in.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx07yjcYU5q
“Saito.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KGYqhIE4r
“What?” He deadpanned, waiting for the telltale jab.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVzXUTCpEi
Trinity paused for a moment, then spoke up.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHUlgNI7zB
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZUug84NSZ
Saito looked at her oddly for a moment or two, then blinked back to reality.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTMt9xShyh
‘Wow, actual advice.’
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8n256BfUA
“Right… okay.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVsiZU5JpE
He then began again, this time, with a more deliberate tone.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2WMNPsFxK
“Are you who they say you are?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEvcjv9hOi
That first line, spoken with confidence that time, sent a gust of wind breezing through the group, warm and inviting.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfwNyWYIzk
“ The keeper of allyships and the crowning grace of unity?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kLkYXqK1a
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuLyqNw9gX
“Uhhh…”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAy4HsIy6eN
“If so open your old heart to us…”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQP1kerkbYl
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrcJdEcZE
Saito spoke the end of the sentence…
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJ4owrfIwQ
“...so that we can prove our worth as your saplings.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L3InWdkpX
...and everything went quiet.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQsdcntgQB
The winds stopped.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjNTTyQ7UQ
The light dimmed.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJb45i2yCt
The trees halted their rustle.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ530Yt8uRB3
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-
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2OAMJ7NLXa
Phoosh!
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Q061lD5RQ
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VnIxR89Hk
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8tYJsGZD0
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6eGbCE7qB
“Is that-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7KFt4Zwy7
“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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2kjXiL6BQ
So he decided to look too.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUVHSxvQAR
And boy, did he empathize.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9ujRwF0Wy
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd8cVYAGgF
Tamashi shot both fists into the air and roared.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLWyij8g6N
“WHOO!! GUILD QUEEESST!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDLgP34EoJ
“Let's goooo!!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg0RrJ76DQ9
“Yayyy!!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnhgyT3ZwQ
The group erupted into a cluster of cheers, hugs, and very weird dance moves.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIrx5aNR3D
Seriously, Calder’s robot was horrible.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjsKgbJAPN
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSEgNPO6rNi
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKyp7oWzDW
Ren clapped her hands twice. “Alright team, this is where we do the thing!” She grinned.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFFvxKzSJ1
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH95RjE40z8
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFq113xqyWu
Saito saw the clear absence of talking as a chance and immediately stepped up next to her, turning to their group.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIKgpFPSle
“Okay, you guys remember the groups, right?”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNLaZ6hVI4
“Yes,” Jyun spoke up. “Holi, Tamashi, Inori, and I team up with you.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzvGJX9ww7
The tall assassin nodded his head of dark hair over to Ren. “And Ren teams up with Kirie, Trinity, and Calder.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstY1WzJajg
Saito nodded as everyone naturally buddied up with those on their respective teams. “Correct. The-”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdzU6ksLVr
“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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmbUVUUAYz
Before Saito could utter a word, Kirie spoke up right after.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyrR4B6hBD
“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.”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAwSx97vXb
She said seriously, staring each member of her party in the eyes.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiL5qJlULH
“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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E85gW9mwB
She’d gotten it from defeating a Marauder Captain boss on Floor 5.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaebcX1aYbn
Her blonde hair was done up in a ponytail and her scarlet eyes backed all the truth behind the words she’d spoken.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxVNDhzT2Z
“Aaaahhh!! Mama Kirie’s so cool!!!”
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadZcAykJx0
“Yes ma’am’s!” Trinity saluted playfully, as everyone energized themselves off of their words, earnestly readying up.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoBNHsCFIq
Saito gulped hard.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38KGXKWU3B
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.
473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBxEzcHz7K
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.473Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYY7hv4GrIv
