« Mommy, why are you leaving with those bags ? »
"I have to leave for a while."
"Why?"
"I have to do something important. If it's done, we can meet my family."
"Really?"
"Yeah. I don't know how long I might be away, but promise you'll be good boy, okay?"
"But I am a good boy."
"Then why do the cookies keep disappearing?"
"… because of dad?"
The little boy and his mom laughed together.
"Here, I'll leave this with you. Take good care of it." The mother said while putting a necklace on the small boy. The boy nodded.
"Now give mommy a good bye hug." The boy jumped in her arms.
"I'll miss you." He said softly, surprisingly mature for his age.
"I'll try to come back as soon as I can." The woman said before she left. That was the last time I saw my mother.
I woke up immediately. Why did I dream of that day after so long? It's been seven and a half years since that time. I still believed her words even after two years until they came for me. But when I was in that lab, I forgot everything about myself and focused on staying alive. Well, nothing I can do about it, better get up and start with those 5 laps. At least, I tried to but something lied on my chest. I looked down and saw Cecilia sleeping next to me. That's right, she wanted sleep here. I softly got up and put my pillow where my chest was. She groaned in her sleep and hugged the pillow. Aww, who's an adorable sleeping girl? You are, yes you are.
…
…
…
This moment never happened, agreed? I got a devious idea, I only need my cell phone for it . After that I dressed myself and went for my jog, thinking about what happened the last three days between me and Cecilia. I told Superstes that it was too early to consider those feelings seriously, but wasn't that just an excuse? Besides, she probably only likes me because I saved her life. There was a name for when someone falls in love with the person that helps or saves them during a frightening situation. What was it called again?
"The suspension bridge effect and it works a bit differently." A little voice in the back of my head told me.
"Who cares G, it's almost the same." I said annoyed. The more I thought about it, the more depressed I got. I was jogging through the forest for the third time when my body stopped moving.
"okay, I've had enough of your insecurity. God, it's like having to listen to the world's most depressing person." G said annoyed as she materialized. She did not look too happy. Scratch that, she was furious!
"The hell did you do to my body? I asked pissed off.
"Shut up, sit down and listen" she snarled at me. I got down quickly, because she controlled my body or fear I don't know. Maybe it's better for my pride if we let this mystery unsolved.
"now let's review your knowledge on women. Here's a recording of Cecilia right before you gave the final blow." I saw her facial expression change from smug to shocked in two seconds before she started falling.
"So, her eyes widened in shock, that's all." G groaned in annoyance.
"You're starting to get near Ichika's denseness level. Let's review it frame for frame."
I looked at it. she stopped at the frame right before she fell. Is that a blush on her face?
"Yes, and it means that…" G urged me to go on.
"She started to like me during the final moments of our match?" I asked confused.
"The feeling started to manifest itself then. Normally it would've taken a few weeks before the feelings were decently developed between you two, but something happened that speeded the process up." The memory continued to play until I dropped her safely in the hangar and I passed out.
"Now we'll go frame for frame again from the point where you landed." She went frame for frame again and she stopped at a certain frame with Cecilia's worried face on it.
"now, what can you tell me from the look in her eyes?" G asked like a teacher.
" The obvious first choice is that she's worried, but it looks like it's… genuine fear?" This was getting weirder and weirder by the minute.
"Correct. You saved her life at the cost of your own safety, and that's what sped up the process. My guess is that you're the first real man according to her standards that she came across. And your complete lack of moral restriction with these kind of matters help perfectly."
"Now that's just wrong, I have an annoying moral restriction and it's called Houki-chan."
(Houki's room)
"ATCHOO!"
"Huh, wuzzat?"
"Nothing Ichika, go back to sleep."
"ok, g'night"
"Goodnight."
'Why do I feel like I should hit Haru first thing in the morning?' Houki thought before falling back asleep.
(back in the forest)
"But you haven't one yourself because you didn't have the chance to get the moral standards of the Japanese society indoctrinated in your mind thanks to your lack of decent education." G stated.
"And could you now say it in a way that a normal person can understand it?" I asked.
"Because you were locked up and never went to school or were raised like a normal child, you don't have developed the same shyness in romance that's typical for teenagers and their first love in this society. Thanks to that you are not restricted by it and you can develop your relation with Cecilia in a higher pace than the others."
"Don't go too fast either. You'll make her feel uncomfortable then." Superstes advised me.
"okay, okay I got it. I just need to have faith in her feelings and move at her pace. Now can I please finish my jog?" I said as I got back up. I started jogging and didn't hear what G and Superstes said to each other.
"I bet that he's going to do something stupid and rash." G said annoyed.
"I bet that it'll work out in the end with what he planned." Superstes said loyally.
"How can you know that?"
"… I got a feeling."
Cecilia woke up due to the smell of… scrambled eggs?
"I've never cooked a typical British breakfast, but I think it turned out quite fine." I said jokingly. I saw Cecilia staring at me. I wore my favorite sleeveless black shirt and my uniform pants and my hair was still a bit damp from the shower.
"You can take a picture if you want to. I already got a good one." I said with an 'innocent' smile as I showed her the picture it took of her when she was hugging my pillow in her sleep. She turned bright red when she saw it.
"Aww, don't be embarrassed, you look adorable on it." I said with a teasing smile.
"You really think so?" Cecilia asked me with a blush on her cheeks. I smiled and pulled her in my chest. She made herself comfortable before she looked into my eyes.
"Why else would I say it?" I asked her. I looked back at her. Now that I think about it, she really has a smooth, white skin. I let my finger slide gently from her elbow to her hand and I took it gently. I barely noticed her shudder with delight. Her fair hair shone like gold with the sunlight it reflects and were her eyes always this captivating blue? I moved in closer until our faces were a few inches away. She gasped softly but then closed her eyes. I closed the gap between us and…
"Do you smell something burning?" I asked confused. Cecilia looked disappointed, but then kind of astonished while she made some distance between us.
"Haru?"
"Yeah, yeah I know I killed the mood with that question… Why are you standing there?"
"Uhm, how do you say this… your shirt's on fire."
…
…
So that's the warm feeling on my back.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! HOTHOTHOTHOTFRIGGINHOT!" I screamed as I ran into the bathroom and in the shower. I quickly turned the valve open and the flames were doused in few seconds. I sighed. Well, that's one way to make sure a girl remembers you, now I only need to find the less embarrassing and painful ones and we're set. And here's the maniacal laughter from G and even Superstes is laughing. If he laughs, then you know you just fucked it up.
"Haru, are you okay?" Cecilia asked worried.
"Besides from the part where my favorite shirt is screwed, my clothes are wet, my ego got a punch in the face and breakfast is probably screwed…quite fine actually." I said. And my gun is still intact, thank god. If it was broken than how would I explain it to Clarissa? Hey, could you send me a new M-5, the previous one was burned by my stove while I tried to kiss a girl. I can already imagine her face.
"Well, breakfast is still edible." Cecilia mumbled while munching on some scrambled eggs.
"Could you give some new clothes please? They're in the closet." I asked .
"You n-need boxers as well?"
I knew I didn't think this through.
"Y-yeah, those as well." Why the hell did I stutter at the beginning? Get yourself together Haru! Cecilia opened the door slightly and gave me my clothes. I quickly changed, made sure the gun was still hidden and went took some breakfast. We ate quietly for the biggest part of the meal.
"Please don't tell the others what happened." I asked her. The only response I got was laughing.
Yep, this story is known through the school by noon.
My head was lying on my desk. I sighed in defeat while looking out of the window.
"Yo Haru." Ichika greeted me cheerfully.
"Morning."
"Why do you smell like smoke and burned bacon?"
"Don't want to talk about it."
Cecilia started laughing again. Yeah, it's funny now but when it happens to you it won't be anymore. Ichika wanted to ask what happened, but I cut him off.
"Not a. Goddamn. Word. about. this. topic. Anymore." I threatened him.
"Okay, okay. It's not like you put yourself on fire or something." Ichika commented.
"N-no of course not. Who would do that?" I kinda forced myself to say. Cecilia was almost literally laughing her ass off. Ichika looked at her like she was crazy. I just buried my face in my arms again as Yama-chi started the class.
9.45
While most people were following the lesson, I was having a mental conversation with Superstes.
'Could it be possible to activate my Stealth system while walking?'
'That won't be effective in a fight Haru-dono.'
'No, not in a fight but when I'm in my normal state, like the shields.'
'It'll be quite difficult to achieve given the changes and tests we'll have to do. Why the sudden interest?'
'The military wants me, so in case of a reconnaissance mission or if I'm stuck in enemy territory it could come in handy.'
'I see your point. I'll see what I can do.'
'Thanks'
My mobile played a certain ring tone that I didn't want to hear… an alarm like those in military bases.
"Sensei, I thinks it's for the good of the planet if I answer this call." I said awkwardly.
"Is the person so important that you have to interrupt class?" Chi-sensei asked me in her usual way.
"Without her you wouldn't have this job." I deadpanned her response. The class gasped since they thought I just gave her a burn. But she knew better.
"It's not… her, is it?" she asked me. I just nodded.
"Hand me the phone now." Chi-sensei growled at me. I gave it and what she did next surprised me. She took the call.
"DON'T CALL MY STUDENTS DURING THEIR LESSONS YOU IDIOT!" she yelled through the phone.
"Waaaah Haru-chan help me, I'm getting bullied by Chi-chan." I heard Nee-san whine through the speaker of the phone. The whole class did judging by their faces. I just took the phone from Chi-sensei and answered.
"She does have a point Nee-san. But what's up?" I asked her.
"Well, I'm arriving in about 10 minutes with those new BT's you asked me to produce and I have someone with me from the military that wants to talk with you. So bring your girlfriend, Houki-chan and Ik-kun to the front gate." I could hear her bubbly smile from over the phone. Wait a second…
…
…
…
""ME AND CECILIA/HARU ARE NOT DATING."" Cecilia and me yelled at the same time. Her face was red and I'm pretty sure mine was also getting a tint redder.
"Aww, so cuuuuuuteee." I heard Nee-san squeal over the phone. You're not helping dammit! And the fact that the whole class heard this conversation didn't help either.
"So Alcott and Haru-kun aren't dating?" I heard a random girl ask. Before I could answer, the girls started their dreaded war cry, or more commonly known as squealing.
"Yes, we still have a chance."
"I knew I shouldn't give up hope."
"I'm going to stalk him."
"Me too."
Okay those last two really crept me out. Yamada-sensei couldn't get the students to calm down, so I decided to help. I nodded at Ichika and Cecilia and pointed at my ears. They got the hint and closed theirs. Houki already had them closed, she knows me a bit too well.
"Yamada-sensei, close your ears." I told her she just nodded and did it. I took a deep breath.
"EVERYBODY QUIET DOWN!" I shouted in sync with Chi-sensei. They all were silent in a moment and looked at us in surprise. I'm shouting a lot in sync with people today.
"I'll just go to the front gate with the people Nee-san wanted to meet before she starts throwing a tantrum." I said with an awkward smile.
"Alright. Orimura, Shinonono and Alcott follow Garisaka and listen to him."
"Cause you'll need all the help you can get to survive her." I added. I turned around and waited for the others to join me. Cecilia decide to put her arms around my left one and sent a threatening glare through the class. Kinda like she's claiming me.
'She IS claiming you Haru-dono.'
Thanks for clearing that up Superstes, I've got a nice idea that might work. I wrestled my arm out of Cecilia's hold and put it around her shoulder. The whole class looked with wide eyes at my movement when I pulled her closer.
"Let's go then, shall we?" I asked with a grin. Cecilia put her head against my shoulder with a small blush. She just nodded and we went towards the front gates.
(Houki's POV)
"They're quite a match." Ichika commented. They were walking a bit behind Cecilia and Haru to give them some privacy.
"Are you kidding me? They're perfect for each other." Houki commented. She was a bit jealous of Haru to be able to act around the person he likes like he does. Her mind wandered to a conversation they once had when she caught him cooking at four in the morning.
"How do you do it?" Houki asked Haru.
"Do what?"
"Acting so carefree without a worry in the world. While others try to pursue a certain dream, you just hang around without a care in the world, following your own pace. My question is, how do you do it?"
"I act like this because I have achieved my dream." Houki looked surprised at him. She didn't expect such an answer.
"My dream has been for five years to get out of that research lab. It came out, I got an enjoyable life here and freedom. So why shouldn't I act according to my feelings and whims, I'm a free man after all and that's all I ever wanted."
Since then she looked at him in a different light. Not that she would admit it.
"Actually, you're fifteen, so you're still a child."
"Is that the best comeback you could come up with Houki-chan?"
"… Just shut up."
Maybe one day she could act like him and be honest towards her own feelings. But for now, she'll try to be more honest with herself, one baby step at a time. Unconsciously, she moved a bit closer to Ichika.
(Normal POV)
"Why are they keeping their distance?" Cecilia asked annoyed. I looked at the reflection in the windows and saw Houki moving a bit closer towards Ichika. I smiled.
"Give them their moment. But what was up with you when we left? I could swear I saw a bit of your possessive side." I joked around. I saw her blushing and thinking about something.
"Was I the first one?" she asked me shyly after a short silence.
"WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY? " ah Houki, nice to know you still spy on me. And yes that could be interpreted in a wrong way. Houki grabbed my jacket and pulled me close to her angry face. GODDAMMIT G ACTIVATE THE FRIGGIN SHIELDS! WE HAVE A CODE H HERE! I'm starting to fear for my life here. Please help me out Cecilia. She was scared as well. This is probably the first time she felt her killing intent. And Ichika? He's just smiling awkwardly, just great. Well then I'll have to solve it myself. I'll remember this Ichika!
"We just slept in the same bed. And yes Cecilia, you were the first person I ever shared a bed with aside from my mother when I was four. Now could you please let go of me Houki-chan?" I asked her kindly with a smile. She let reluctantly go of me. I dusted myself off and proceeded to the gate, thinking this day couldn't get any worse.
"How long until they arrive?" Ichika asked me.
"They should be here within 45 seconds. Five bucks they won't make it in time." I said calmly.
30 seconds
20…
10…
Is that a chopper I'm hearing? Two choppers flew over us and landed 30 feet behind us. Instinctively I pulled Cecilia close to me and Ichika did the same with Houki. When the choppers landed I heard a familiar voice.
"Yahoo Haru-chan, did you miss me?" Tabane waved from the first chopper. I just waved back, being used to her random actions. Though it's the first time it involved military choppers. Ichika let Houki go since there wasn't any danger. She did look a bit disappointed, not that I can blame her. It's not easy falling in love with someone as dense as a rock. I felt something squirm in my grasp. Oh yeah, Cecilia is still in my arms. I put my arms loosely around her waist. She started blushing and looked at me.
"If you don't like it, then I'll let go." I whispered in her ear. I heard her groaning before she answered.
"You have to take responsibility." She said quite sternly. I just smiled at her answer.
"I don't mind that you guys flirt, but can we please proceed with the business we came for?" I heard an familiar voice ask.
"It's nice to see you again too Clarissa." I said with a smirk on my face.
"That'll be Lieutenant once you accept the job, sergeant." She addressed me with a smirk. Ichika and Cecilia looked in surprise at me. Houki just raised an eyebrow.
"And why does the German military have interest in Haruka?" Houki asked. Man, it's been a while since someone called me by my full name. I always dropped the -ka at the end because I thought that Haru sounded better.
"Because we helped professor Shinonono with the operation to extract and save him. We would like to follow up his process of evolution with the ability to use an IS and see if he can be put for military use." Clarissa answered.
What? After all this time, people just think of me as a guinea pig? I'm not gonna let them screw around with me anymore. Let's tell her what I think ab-
*SLAP*
Everybody looked surprised as Cecilia slapped Clarissa. When did she even get out of my grip? I quickly drew my gun and pointed it at the two escorts who aimed their rifles at Cecilia. They noticed and one aimed at me instead.
"How can you still say that about him?" Cecilia growled.
"If you have followed him for the last year, then you would know that he's just another teenager and not some lab rat you can experiment on."
Clarissa just looked coldly at Cecilia.
"Sergeant, stop aiming at my soldiers." She ordered me.
"Only if they stop aiming at me and Cecilia." I said in a cold voice. Clarissa gave them a sign and they sheathed their weapons again reluctantly. I did the same after a few seconds.
"You didn't let me finish my explanation. That were the thoughts of the higher ups. My thoughts on this case is that I'll get an experienced pilot, fighter and scout in my team. After all the three are in his blood." She explained.
"Can you believe this?" Houki asked to no one in particular.
"It is plausible. If they just wanted me as an experiment, they could've taken me to a German base since the beginning. But they gave me a rank, a gun and I was enrolled in this academy. People don't treat lab rats in such a luxurious way." I explained my train of thoughts.
"Thank god that they at least picked out a smart guy to experiment on, no offense. Our deal is simple. Help us hunt down the organization and their sponsors and after that you can do whatever you want as long as you keep the operations classified. Is that alright with you?"
"Deal." I said after a few seconds of thinking. Well, i don't have much of choice anyways so i might as wxell go for partial freedom.
"Very well. Sergeant, help Miss Alcott here to get used to her new BT's together with professor Shinonono and report then here for your first assignment. Am I clear?"
"Yes ma'am." I responded. The grunts who were aiming at Cecilia a few minutes ago just finished unloading a big crate and looked at me with disgust. I wonder what their problem is... oh yeah, I threatened to kill them a few moments ago. I materialized one of my Phantom Blades and used it as a lever to open the crate. In it lied two new BTs. These had the same dark blue color, but there were a bit slimmer and there were some weird edges at the side of them. There was also some sort of plating at the bottom.
"What're those edges and plates for?" I asked.
"These are a form of defense against melee attacks and bullets, but they're still easy to destroy if slice them in two starting from the nozzle. I got the idea from seeing your match." Tabane explained. How can she see if she keeps her eyes closed most of the time?
"Well then Ceci-chan, please deploy your IS." Nee-san asked.
"Ceci-chan?" Cecilia and I asked at the same time. Again the talking in sync, it's starting to creep me out.
"Well, looking at the way you two are progressing I won't be surprised when you two start dating. So I might as well get a nickname for the future girlfriend." We both blushed when Tabane called Cecilia my future girlfriend.
"oh yeah Haru-chan I'll be able to handle it here by myself, so go ahead to Clarissa." I looked doubtfully at Cecilia. She just smiled and waved . I left with a sigh towards my new boss. Wow that 'boss' word has a bitter taste to it.
I arrived at the chopper where Clarissa was on the line with someone.
" you know your orders… yes it's necessary… He's here, I'm going to give him his instructions. Harfouch out." She put down the horn and looked tired. After a few seconds she turned towards me.
"Are you ready to leave?" she asked me.
"Leave? I haven't heard anything about leaving." I said confused.
"Don't worry it's just in the town 30 miles from here. And we got separate transportation for you." She said with a smile. I looked behind her and saw a Suzuki GSXR600 (Google it if you don't know what it looks like) completely in black. A helmet and leather jacket lied on it, ready to be used.
"You guys are screwing around with me. No way that a normal sergeant gets a baby like this."
"You're right, either you only get half of your payment for 12 months and this bike or we bring it back."
"And why is the bike an offer?"
"Because it fits perfectly with your character. It complements your free and rebellious spirit." She declared.
"Okay then… " I said with a sweat drop.
"Don't mind the lieutenant, she's a shoujo manga fan." One of the grunts said.
"More like an addict." The second commented.
"So are you going to take the bike or not?" Clarissa asked me, ignoring her grunts' comments.
Technically, I'm still in high school and I don't need that much money here. This is just a perfect opportunity to save some cash for date with Cecilia.
"Oh hell yeah." I responded.
"Great. Grab some clothes for two days' worth and come to this address. There's a GPS installed in the motorcycle, so you'll have minor trouble finding the place." She handed me a paper with the adress on it. I took it and went to grab my belongings. But first I traded my uniform jacket for the black leather one. When I entered my room and started packing, someone tried to sneak up to me from behind. Tried to being the key part of the sentence. I turned around and saw Houki standing there awkwardly.
"You're leaving?" she asked me.
"Only for two days." She nodded at that information.
"You're improving a bit with Ichika." I said with a smile. She looked at me with surprise.
"W-what do y-you mean?" she stammered. So it's still a sensitive topic.
"You already started walking closer to him. It shows that you're gathering your courage, so I'm proud of you of finally coming to term with your feelings and acting according to them." She looked at her feet.
"Shut up, it's easy for you to say."
"And that's why I say it. Are you gonna walk with me to the front gate to say goodbye or am I going loner style?" I asked her. She followed me outside. Ichika, Cecilia and Tabane were waiting at my bike. Nee-san tried to glomp Houki, but she just sidestepped and Nee-san did a face plant.
"She's not quite what I expected from a genius." Cecilia said awkwardly. Don't worry you'll get used to it… eventually… I think… hope.
"Why haven't you left with the military Nee-san?" I asked her.
"Because I wanted to ride with Haru-chan on his new bike." she said with her signature smile. I just shrugged. I stepped on it… how do I ride this thing?
' you might feel some pain in your head.' I heard G saying. Oh crap, not again that AAGH GODDAMMIT that hurts! Where the hell was that good for G?
'I've uploaded the information of the controls of a motorcycle into your brain. The headache should disappear in a minute.'
Well no pain, no gain, especially when a supercomputer streams data direct into your brain. Time to say good bye, even if it's just for two days.
"Ichika, keep training your kendo with Houki, it'll help you in the long run." I said to him. He just nodded with a firm look in his eyes. Look who found his spine. Where the hell was it when Houki wanted to kill me yet AGAIN? I turned to Houki to say something, but she just hugged me. After a second of surprise I hugged her back.
"Make sure he doesn't misbehave." I said jokingly. I didn't see Cecilia's jealous face behind me. She grabbed my face and I felt something soft against my lips. My eyes widened before they closed and I pulled her closer to me, deepening the kiss. After a few seconds we both parted and I gained a grin when I saw her blushing face.
"Someone's feeling a bit jealous." I teased her.
"That doesn't matter anymore, because you'll take responsibility if you're a man. And you still deserve one for your attempt this morning." She stammered out. I heard Nee-san giggling behind me. Of course was she the one behind it… thank you so freaking much!
"When I come back I'll gladly take it." I whispered in her ear. And there's the blush. I swear she blushes each time I whisper something in her ear. Maybe it's her weak spot. Now that's something worth knowing.
"Uhm, Haru there's a sand cloud rapidly coming this way." Ichika warned me with a nervous voice. Oh crap, the whole school probably saw that kiss through the windows and now my fan girls want one too, kill Cecilia or some even both!
"Gotta go." I said quickly. I gave Cecilia a quick kiss before putting on my helmet and sped off to the address Clarissa gave me.
"That kiss was your idea, wasn't it Nee-san?" Her robot bunny ears somehow changed into a helmet.
"So what if I did gave her the encouragement she needed?" she asked me innocently.
"Thanks."
"Don't lose her, you two are perfect for each other!" she exclaimed. I thought about what she said… for 3 seconds before I checked how fast my new baby could go. Hey, I'm still a guy after all.
Chapter 8 is up! Woot woot!
Haru: this one's quite a bit longer than usual. What happened?
I honestly have no idea. I just kept on writing, but I don't think that this chapter is as good as the others.
Haru: you have that quite a lot.
Meh, but the next chapter is going to be great. I already got a few ideas.
Haru: and there's the friggin scary smile again.
MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *THUD* thanks for bringing me back.
Haru: no problem. And why the hell did you put me on fire?
…for fun and the comedic value?
Haru:
While he's pissed off, I'll answer the reviews.
Victor Petrenko: I've been fine most of the time. I had the flu, but instead of being sick a few days I was already better after six hours.
Haru: that was pretty weird and awesome actually.
I know.
BAka vocaloid FAN: the story is longer as you wanted for a reason. I dunno if the next chapters are also going to have this length. We'll see
Crazywolf1991: The others will come in the story. The pace is going a bit higher from here on out and all the characters will be introduced. If you like, you can bet what kind of relationships certain persons will have with Haru with the other interested reviewers. You can bet everything except for pets ,annoying brothers or sisters or anything else that lives or has papers, those're too much trouble for what's it worth.
AnimeL0ver00: I know that it's a shame that the relationship developments aren't that fast in real life -_-' and if you thought that Houki and Haru were like brother and sister when Ichika mentioned it, I can only say one thing…
GOAL ACHIEVED BOOYA!
Haru: okay take it easy, we don't want to break another floor lamp.
That one wasn't my fault for once.
Haru: but I don't want you to break the new one.
Hmm, point taken.
Our Guild: I'll answer the reviews separately again. I'll do that each time when two or more people review with your account.
Rose: I'm glad you thought it was cute. It was my first time writing a scene like that and I'm not really confident in my romantic side.
Minion: thanks for explaining the structure of how you guys work. I think it's really cool that you guys can work together like that.
Anyways until next time. Please keep reading and reviewing and have a nice day.
