A New World (book 2) Complete
Iced Fairy:
To find glory in battle is a virtue in the soldier,
a vice in the general,
and a positive crime in the statesman.
Yorihime focused on keeping her breathing steady. This wasn't the first time she'd be nervous in front of the assembled leaders of the moon, but today was the first time she knew that no matter what she did a great number of people would consider her a traitor. So she reverted to her sword training. Focused breathing would help bring a focused mind, and keep her from trying to listen to the whispers flying around the cavern.
Finally a gong stopped all the chatter. The entire room bowed as Lord Tsukiyomi made his entrance. Yorihime relaxed slightly when she saw he wasn't in battle garb.
Still that just meant they had some support. The debate was likely to be difficult. Reasonable people, after all, were more likely to think then to speak. Which meant no matter how many supported them the vocal people would likely be against them.
She glanced towards the area where her husband Sareseno was sitting. As this was a formal war meeting he had no place on the floor, but he looked like he was ready to help intercede from the sidelines. Another voice, even one known to be biased, would be a blessing.
After proper rituals had been observed, Tsukiyomi gestured for them to rise. Yorihime focused on making sure her movements were smooth. She hoped she was close enough to her sisters flawless performance.
Their Lord spoke. ?My generals, the land lost to human incursions has weighed heavily upon my mind. And I fear that the number can only increase if we do not act. Is there perhaps something I am unaware of that will assay my fears??
?I fear not my Lord,? Toyohime said with a bow of her head. ?Your analysis is correct. Without some action on our part, the humans will continue to intrude on our pure land, bringing impurity and death.?
?However my Lord,? Yorihime said, ?we have conferred with each other and come up with some possible solutions to the issue. If my Lord would permit??
Tsukiyomi nodded his head. ?Please speak. I am glad to hear your thoughts.?
Yorihime started with the bad news. ?Militarily there is no way to directly prevail against the Earth's colonizers without tainting the moon with war. Even if we eliminate the humans on the surface of the moon successfully, there will be retaliation from the Earth itself, so direct military action is unacceptable.?
There was a great deal of murmuring from the assembled nobles, but Toyohime spoke up before it could grow out of hand. ?However we do have two less direct plans that could suit our goals. First while the Earth is at peace, it should be possible to stir up conflict like we have in times past.?
?Given the weapons at the disposal of the Earth nations,? Toyohime continued, ?it's probable they'll destroy human society.?
Yorihime swallowed and continued. ?The problem being that there is a chance that the human nations won't fall for the ruse.? She looked at Lord Tsukiyomi questioningly, and his eyes widened. When he nodded she continued, ?We tried this plan on a smaller scale against the nation known as the USSR during the first Lunar incident. An error we added in their technology created a phantom attack. This was in keeping with our policy to only test the Earthlings, not directly start incidents.?
?They passed that test and failed to respond to it. Given that the Earth is much further from war today, to have a good chance of success we would need to do a massive campaign of deception, which greatly increases the chances of being caught if it failed.?
There was a pause. Then Toyohime remember she was supposed to speak. ?While I trust my emissaries fully, I can only give this plan a 97.5% chance of success. Which is why I suggest the second strategy.?
?Which is?? their Lord asked.
Yorihime saw her sister swallow and take a deep breath before replying, ?Abandoning the moon.?
Several lords were on their feet immediately. ?Traitors!? ?Abandon the Moon!?? ?Is it truly that bad?? ?Incompetence is what it is! We can wipe the Earth out easily!?
Tsukiyomi clapped his hands sharply for silence. The yelling stopped, but there were still whispers and grumblings in the crowd. ?I'm sure everyone is aware of our plans to move completely out of phase with this reality, so I shall not repeat them. However I must ask, why do you believe that to be the only safe course of action??
Yorihime spoke up first. ?Because all the other methods, should they fail, have a great chance of bringing death and impurity to our city. There is no honor is destroying part of the world and still losing our city. It is best for everyone to take the certain path to defend our lives then risk it in bloodshed. Especially since in this instance our test would have to be deliberately unfair.?
?I can see great reason and charity in this,? Tsukiyomi stated, ?however I am not yet ready to commit to an action. Perhaps someone has some words that could shed light on the situation.?
Several lords other lords stood, but it was Sareseno's voice that carried through the chamber. ?Forgive me my lovely wife, but I'm wondering is there any certainty that the settlers already on the moon will leave? I worry they may decide to stay if the Earth is damaged enough. Or worse bring the conflict to our moon.?
Toyohime fielded that question. ?I'm afraid I don't know. We did our best to make sure unimaginative, by the book people got sent to the moon. Sadly this makes their actions impossible to predict when the book gets thrown out.?
There was some consideration among the crowd.
Then Lord Tenshou stood up. ?That is a worrisome thought. However my Lord, it seems to me that if we stay alert it would be simple to shift to an escape plan if our initial strike failed to produce the results we wanted. Would it not be better to try to save our home before abandoning it??
There were several calls of assent. None in opposition. Yorihime closed her eyes.
?Ah, I fear something else has just crossed my mind.?
Yorihime opened her eyes to see Sareseno looking quite thoughtful. ?The youkai. When the world collapses they'll have free reign. While unlikely, it would not be impossible for them to repeat their invasion.? While Yorihime knew that it actually was 'nigh impossible' for such an event to occur, but in this case explaining that could do no good.
?Tch, then we'll just have to wipe them out,? said a lady coldly. ?We have the power, and there's no worry about impurity arising from that.? Toyohime noticed she too was a descendant of the Tachibana clan.
?Ah, but there's a problem,? Sareseno said in apologetic tone. ?Eirin Yagokoro lives in the area as well, and she would consider that something of an attack.?
There was silence at that pronouncement. No one had any clue what fail-safes Eirin had placed before her departure. For all anyone knew she could press a button and take down all their defenses. It was highly unlikely, but with Eirin anything was possible.
?Perhaps there might be a solution to this problem,? said a new voice. A man stood. Toyohime couldn't recognize him but he spoke calmly. ?We have worked, in the past, with Eirin. Even after her betrayal. She still shows some loyalty still towards her home, though less so then towards princess Kaguya. It seems to me that it would be wise to enlist her knowledge and aid in making sure the youkai do not overstep their bounds.?
There was a ripple of nodding heads. Yorihime could help join in as well. Eirin was far more likely to be keeping track of issues on the Earth. And she was much better at calculating odds then either Yorihime or her sister.
And Yorihime trusted her, for certain values of trust.
Lord Tsukiyomi bowed his head to the man. ?Thank you Lord Shimeri. This option could change our understanding of our position, and allow for a more harmonious resolution.? He turned to the sisters. ?I ask my generals to interrogate Eirin Yagokoro on these matters and present their findings to the court within a week's time for further review. Is that acceptable??
Yorihime and her sister bowed. ?Yes it is my Lord.?
?Then I shall retire. I thank you honored nobles for attending my court.?
Lord Tsukiyomi left and the chatter picked up again. Yorihime found it to be a bad sign that the only person coming to speak to them was her husband.
Sareseno looked worried as well. ?I'm sorry I wasn't able to do more. Resorting to scare tactics is normally something I avoid.?
?It seems public opinion is against leaving,? Toyohime said.
?That's an understatement,? Yorihime muttered looking at the breakdown in noble families. It seemed like three fourths were currently ranting about the Earthlings. Yorihime wondered what would happen if she handed the loudest agitators a hourai tree. She had a feeling she wouldn't like the answer.
?The lord who spoke last, Lord Shimeri. What is his power and rank?? Toyohime asked.
Sareseno thought for a moment. ?He's from a family of lesser standing. Descended from high ranking retainer to our own family before gaining nobility actually. His power is the ability to speak with moon rabbits via their private communications.?
?Why do you ask sister?? Yorihime asked.
Toyohime folded her fan. ?I was wondering what his goal was. But it seems I was worried over nothing.?
----
Lord Tenshou waited patiently in the hallway. His plans required him to be here, so here he was.
Jiyuwan waited patiently beside him. Lord Tenshou occasionally wondered how he'd been so lucky as to receive such a loyal vassal. To say Jiyuwan was the epitome of the way of bushido would be to insult the man. Jiyuwan was older then the nation of Japan - if anything those honorable warriors of the earth imitated him.
The knowledge that such a skilled and loyal retainer was by his side helped when the two people he was hoping to meet entered the hall.
Lady Shoutoku looked at him like he was a stray dog who had eaten the family cat. Tenshou had no real clue why his sister hated him so, considering that he was going to allow her to finally accomplish the goal that she had been working towards for so long.
Lord Shimeri of course was all smiles, but Tenshou didn't trust him. He knew the man was trash. Still one worked with the tools one had at hand.
?I suppose this is part of some far reaching plan, brother?? Shoutoku sneered. ?Or would it have been too much work to press our very obvious advantage??
?Forgive me Lady, but we lost any advantage we had when Eirin's name was mentioned. People are still too afraid of her,? Shimeri said politely. "I think they'll regain their spine quickly, but for now..."
Tenshou shook his head. ?We could have pushed past that objective, but that would not bring us what we want. We must remove the Watatsuki's from their positions if we wish to attack Gensoukyo directly.? He looked directly at his sister. ?In fact I'm surprised you suggested wiping out the place. I thought you wanted to deal with your target personally.?
Shoutoku just glared at him. ?And how do you propose to do that??
?I expect their meeting with Eirin will fail badly,? Tenshou said lightly.
His sister stared for a moment later, then turned and walked off. ?Whatever. Tell me when I have a part again in your bloody little play.?
Shimeri raised an eyebrow, but simply said, ?Is there anything I need to do??
Tenshou nodded. ?Yes. It would be helpful if the rabbits remembered that both Reisens were traitors to the moon.?
Shimeri looked confused for a bit, then nodded and smiled. ?Sure, if that is your wish.? He turned and walked away.
Tenshou checked his watch. He would need to address his family at the Tachibana courtyard soon. He turned to go where he needed to be.
As his loyal servant moved in behind him Jiyuwan said, ?I do not believe this is the best course of action my lord.?
Tenshou mentally sighed. The man was loyal to a fault, but not well versed in politics. ?You remember my power don't you? Trust in that if you don't trust in me.?
The warrior closed his eyes. ?I merely wish I were as certain as you that you truly wish to obtain the goals you claim to seek.?
Tenshou paused for a moment, wondering if perhaps his retainer had seen something he hadn't. After a moment's hesitation however he continued forward. He'd been very careful not to leave this up to chance. ?I'm quite certain my goals are what I desire.?
He gave the swordsman a look. ?Which is why you will be on earth in a weeks' time.?
The swordsman blinked, then nodded. ?As my lord commands.?
Everything was falling into place again.
Sect:
Yeah, I get the feeling that the Lunarians are about to bone theirselves. Also, Shimeri's power is a bit scary, to be frank: it's not something like "summon gods to deal with whatever problem you have", but the ability to communicate with a minimum of thousands of soldiers telepathically is pretty frightening.
Iced Fairy:
?When you find peace within yourself, you become the kind of person who can live at peace with others.?
?Are you sure we should use this and not a sealed letter?? Yorihime asked.
?Yes. While Eirin would know if a letter was intercepted, there's not much either of us could do about it. And we shouldn't be showing indecision to her anyway, even if she likely already knows,? Toyohime said.
Yorihime nodded. ?So I guess it's up to you Reisen.?
The moon rabbit nodded. ?No problem. What should I send to the other Reisen??
As Toyohime considered her words another rabbit entered. ?Excuse me, Lady Toyohime? I have a message from your husband.?
Toyohime was blinked at the rabbit messenger. ?Miyari sent for me?? she asked.
The rabbit bowed. ?Yes Lady Toyohime. He also asked me to send word to his brother and his wife as well.?
Toyohime idly tapped her fan against her palm. Her husband Miyari was almost the opposite of his brother Sareseno. He spent most of his time researching something or other. Usually it was something that Eirin had done earlier, but no one else had managed to figure out. But he wasn't concerned about developing things, just learning for the sake of learning. They rarely spoke, outside of holidays, though she didn't dislike him.
She turned to where her sister and her sister's husband were sitting. ?Well that's out of the ordinary enough to warrant immediate investigation isn't it??
They both nodded. ?Anything that would get my brother to leave the lab has to be big news.?
?Um, what should I do about the message?? Reisen asked them.
?Just tell the other Reisen we'll be visiting. We don't want to play our hand in advance anyway,? Toyohime said reasonably. She didn't suspect Eirin would betray them, but messages could be intercepted and overheard easily. ?Then take the rest of the day off.?
?Right!? The moon rabbit that the sisters had taken in hopped out to the courtyard to send her message to earth.
Standing Toyohime asked, ?Where did my husband wish us to meet him??
The messenger rabbit looked at her notes. ?Um, he said you should meet in the tea room of his mansion.
It took Toyohime a few moments to remember where that was, but she eventually did. ?Thank you. We'll head over immediately.?
The walk to the 3rd Watatsuki home seemed longer then usual. Perhaps it was because Toyohime couldn't find as much pleasure in the wisteria that bloomed along the way, knowing it would soon be gone. Perhaps it was because the few people she saw bore grave expressions.
The house itself didn't spark any bad feelings, mainly because she didn't know the place that well. Usually she was in her own palace she had as leader of the Lunar Emissaries.
On arriving at the tea room she bowed properly to her husband. He returned the guesture.
Unlike his brother Miyari kept his hair short. His robes were also simpler, though unlike some researchers he never fell into bad grooming habits.
?It's a pleasure to see you again my husband,? Toyohime said. ?Was there some breakthrough relevant to recent events that you wanted to share with the family? Or did you wish to speak about personal matters??
?Actually I was asked by Lord Tsukiyomi to give you these,? Miyari handed Yorihime and her two scrolls sealed with a quantum seal.
Toyohime opened hers and read it. Then read it again in confusion.
Yorihime of course skipped that part, ?We're being fired!??
?You're being given indefinite leave,? Miyari said. ?And of course, only after you speak with Eirin Yagokoro. Lord Tsukiyomi wishes you to finish your mission.?
?Still we're being removed from our positions at the time they are needed most? Why?? Toyohime asked.
?Indeed,? Sareseno said. ?This puts all our work in danger. Without our wives to try to control public opinion....?
Miyari sighed. ?You too brother? Public opinion shouldn't need to be controlled.? He looked directly at Toyohime, and she was startled by how piercing his gaze was. She'd never seen him so passionate about something that wasn't science. ?Think about where you two stand. Do you really think Lord Tsukiyomi wishes to lose two of his most loyal subjects??
Toyohime thought about it for a bit. Then she laughed. It felt like a great weight had been removed from her. ?Thank you. I hadn't seen it. I guess our position between the earth and the moon was dangerous.?
Yorihime looked back and forth before her mouth opened in an 'o' of surprise. Sarenso laughed as well. ?Well, it seems we got all worked up for nothing.?
?Indeed.?
The lunar capitol was, as much as some would hate to admit it, a copy of the celestial realm. And much like the celestials, the Lunarians could do almost anything they pleased, so long as they did it for some common good. A celestial in charge of plagues could kill millions with no stain on their soul, so long as the reason they did so was to continue the orderly functioning of the earth as a whole.
Lunarians had to be a little more careful though. They were not real Celestials after all. They did not have control over plagues and wars. Only the moon.
Toyohime sat down and considered where they'd made a mistake. It had probably been when they'd been forced to start staging accidents. While not an impure act in itself, it wasn't something that could be done for long while still maintaining purity.
Thus there was no way they could justify starting a war with such a massive campaign of deception. Even heaven would find such a brutal run around free will to be shameful. The Lunarians could have no such excuse. Which meant Tsukiyomi really only had one choice.
Which led Toyohime to her question. ?So what will Lord Tsukiyomi do about those who have already been corrupted? I know he will not put the battle plan into action, but the majority seems in favor of it.?
Miyari frowned. ?I cannot say. Lord Tsukiyomi did not explain his reasoning to me per say. Just made suggestions that indicated his opinion of your status.?
Yorihime frowned. ?Hm... Can you think of anything, husband??
?I think Lord Tsukiyomi believes the number of unsalvageable people isn't too high,? Sareseno said simply. ?Your meeting with Eirin will show any action against Earth will be flawed. Thus he will order evacuation. Those unsavable will stay, with their greatest weapons taken and most of the rabbit servants gone. Those who are borderline will have a long time away from humans to regain their purity.?
The other three Lunarians nodded at the analysis. It seemed like something their Lord would do.
?Well,? Toyohime said. ?I must admit I'll still be sad to leave the moon.? She took her husband's arm. ?We should have a picnic in the gardens while we still can.?
Miyari blinked in confusion. ?I was actually thinking of doing a bit more research and....?
Toyohime started leading him off. She wasn't a very attentive wife, but one had to do things for one's partner occasionally. ?Now now. Research can wait. The moon will no longer last forever.?
?Indeed brother. You should listen to your wife,? Sareseno held out his arm and Yorihime took it. ?Do you mind if we join you??
?Of course not.?
The four Lunarians went out among the peach trees, to bid farewell to their world.
---
Eirin summoned all the power that she possessed as the Brain of the Moon to resist the force pressing on her. Lesser beings had been wiped out by this power, indeed a few times even she had fallen before it. However, this time she would stand firm.
?Eirin, why didn't you inform me we'd been invited to a party!?? Kaguya asked with her piercing royal glare.
It helped that the matter was already fait accompli.
?Because it was dangerous.? Eirin stated. ?The Scarlet Devil Mansion was moderately powerful to start with. Now that the Mistress of the Grimoire and the Black White Witch, as well as their children live there, they're possibly the equal of Eientei. It would be best to scout them before placing ourselves in something that might be a trap.?
Kaguya's glare only sharpened. ?You sent Reisen.?
?Well they wouldn't be foolish enough to attack her alone,? Eirin stated. It was a little weak, but the truth was this was almost certainly just paranoia on her part.
Kaguya glared at her for a few more minutes before sighing and slumping down on the table. ?I'm so bored. It's getting terrible. At this point I almost look forward to fighting Mokou.?
Eirin winced. ?Now now, I'm sure if things really are getting better you'll be able to start up expos again. Or at least invite people over.?
Kaguya sighed again, and started peeling a persimmon. ?Oh well.? After eating a few slices she asked, ?So do you believe that this girl Ran is holding up as a poster child really does have Yukari's powers??
Eirin nodded. ?It's likely. There's no gain from her lying about who has this power, and other sources have confirmed it. However, I hesitate to assume it truly is Yukari's power. If nothing else I find the chances of a human gaining that power and staying sane to be slim.?
?Hm....? Kaguya continued eating. ?Perhaps we should invite her over.?
Eirin sighed mentally. Hopefully Reisen's return would clear these matters up.
Surprisingly they didn't have long to wait. Reisen entered into the room, unharmed, appearing only slightly confused and carrying a vial. ?I'm back Master. Oh, and Good evening Princess. I didn't realize you were here too.?
Reisen flinched as Kaguya pointed the finger of accusation at her. ?You went to a party! Without me!?
?Um, I'm sorry. I didn't know you wanted to go! I was just doing what Master told me to do!? Then she realized her mistake and looked fearfully at Eirin.
The look on her face made it hard to resist saying 'Punishment Time~' just to watch the moon rabbit panic, but Eirin did have important things to ask. ?It's alright Reisen. It's my fault. So how did things go??
?Um...? Reisen's ears twitched as she thought about things. ?The dinner went well. Flandre still sorta scares everyone who's sane, and the dinner conversation was a little tense at times. And the Hakurei Maiden didn't show. But the food was good, and no one seemed to be actively picking a fight.?
?So what about the newcomers?? Kaguya asked as she leaned forward.
?They seemed a little too normal for the place,? Reisen said, ?though I suppose Byakuren's kinda normal too. A few oddities when talking about the outside world, but that's to be expected I guess. They go by Maribel and Renko. Renko's the one studying magecraft, and who has location powers. Maribel is Yukari's reincarnation.?
?You're certain about that?? Eirin asked. She found it odd Reisen stated that so quickly. Normally her student was more cautious.
Reisen blinked and looked straight at Eirin, ?Ah, well not 100% certain, but she was incredibly similar. Similar taste in clothing, similar appearance, same expression when something doesn't go her way. And she definitely had power over boundaries.?
Eirin raised an eyebrow. ?And not the power held by the Hakurei line??
Reisen winced. ?No, she's pretty cavalier about ripping holes in existence.? Her gaze turned serious. ?They both gave me some dark looks. Apparently they went to the moon first, but were thrown off quickly. They figure they were sent here to die.?
Eirin sighed. ?Ah, Toyohime always did pick the complicated path.? She remembered the fisherman her old student had once taken in. ?Still in this case it might work out fine. I just hope that doesn't give her Yukari's prejudices against us. That could be problematic.?
?Now I really want to meet this girl,? Kaguya said with a smile.
Eirin closed her eyes. ?I think it might be better to stay isolated, princess.?
?Perhaps if we'd never revealed ourselves before Eirin, but that won't work now. If you don't talk to people in Gensoukyo you're likely to get a witch and a shrine maiden breaking and entering at some point,? Kaguya said with a playful smile.
?I think that was a unique time in history,? Eirin said. ?Still I suppose you might be right.? She sighed and turned back to her student. ?And the vial there??
Reisen nodded and held it up. ?It's blood. Alice gave it to me 'as a gift.' I have no idea why.?
Kaguya frowned. While she wasn't a master of political maneuverings, she was still a princess. ?Hm... None of us need blood. Is that a threat, or tribute??
Eirin rapidly considered the matter, based on what she knew of the people of the mansion. Fortunately, she'd met Alice and Marisa quite a few times before they joined the SDM. ?I'd say both and a little more princess. Remember, Flandre certainly wouldn't agree to send it to us.?
Reisen looked confused, ?Is she saying she's the real power there then??
?Hm... Probably not so simple,? Kaguya said. ?I'd guess that she's reminding us that she's also a power there. And that means a lot of different things.?
Eirin nodded, happy that the princess was paying attention. ?Indeed. This is to tell us they have no shortage of blood so they don't need to expand. It's also to remind us that they have powerful allies elsewhere, in case we get adventurous.?
Reisen looked confused by that. ?Why would we want some trashy mansion filled with impurities??
Eirin chuckled. Her pupil had learned a lot, but some prejudices just never went away. ?We know that, but creatures of the Earth always assume the worst. Though to be fair, it's a good survival strategy.? One she silently admitted she used perhaps a bit too much.
Reisen was about to speak again when her ears twitched and her eyes unfocused.
Eirin and Kaguya both sat up. They recognized when their servant was getting a message from the other moon rabbits. It was a very rare event. Despite their connections to the Watatsuki sisters they were still technically fugitives. While their exile upon this world was almost considered punishment enough to the pure moon, there would always be a few who sought greater justice for their crimes.
After a moment Reisen's eyes refocused. ?Um... Reisen, the other Reisen, wanted me to tell you that the sisters are planning on coming by in a week's time. But she didn't say when they'll show up.?
Eirin felt a certain warmth in her heart on hearing that. It meant her students had the right level of trust and paranoia. It was good to see how much they'd learned. ?Well I guess we'll have to wait on inviting those two girls over, at least until after the people who kicked them off the moon have visited.?
Kaguya just waved it off and smiled. ?That's fine. It will be interesting to see the sisters again. And that other Reisen. I assume she'll be coming too??
Their Reisen nodded. ?Yes, she is Toyohime's new lead emissary after all.?
?Good good. We'll have to tell Tewi so she can get everything ready,? Kaguya said with a smile. ?Please tell her to come speak with me, I have some ideas for their visit.?
?Yes princess.? Reisen turned to Eirin, ?Is there anything else you want to know about that or the dinner master??
?Yes, but nothing you would know Udonge,? Eirin said. ?Go ahead and find Tewi.?
Reisen stood and bowed before running off. Princess Kaguya stood as well. ?I should check the finances to see what's reasonable for this visit.?
Eirin smiled. It was good to see Kaguya practicing the virtues of a lady, instead of sitting about being bored. ?Of course. Have fun, princess.?
After Kaguya left Eirin turned her mind to the matters at hand. It seemed things were in motion, but things were always in motion. It was up to her to draw the connections, and see if this was just the normal dance of the stars, the start of a beautiful meteor shower, or a cataclysm in the making.

Currently I'm planning on updating Very Late PST on Friday and Tuesday, though if people would like more frequent smaller updates or longer updates further apart feel free to say so.
Sect:
Any posting schedule's fine, really.
Frankly, I would've been amused if the real reason that Alice sent the vial of blood was because she wanted Eirin to actually look at the blood, not because of whatever political manuevering. I mean, Eirin's deduction is probably right, but I would've still be amused. Also, and this is probably just fanon getting in my head, but I would have figured that Reisen wouldn't have been so taken in with the whole moon purity thing.
Really, it's hard to find anything to compliment about the story thus far, since there's been so much about the Lunarians, a group that which I absolutely loathe (except for Reisen). Sorry.

Amusingly enough, I'm the opposite of that. :3
This keeps getting more and more interesting, so keep up the good work.
