What happened to me and two Japanese women in recent days (urban life adult novel)

For the record, everything I said is what happened to me in the past few days! There is not a trace of falsehood. The original intention of writing it here is just to ask my friends to help me with some advice! Although I think I have rich social experience and a lot of experience! But it takes three to make a hero, so I hope my brothers can speak freely. If I do something wrong, you can scold me. If I do something right, please give me some encouragement! !

I am 25 years old, 178cm tall and weigh 65kg.

If it weren't for the sake of life, if I hadn't studied Japanese, I wouldn't have come to Japan to work. To be more precise, I didn't want to come. After all, Japan and my country have had unpleasant experiences. Although I am earning money from the Japanese now, I don't think any more money can make up for my hostility towards the Japanese. After all, I grew up watching ** movies.

Similarly, the Japanese look down on us Chinese, they did so in the past and they still do so now! When we work in Japan, we are looked down upon by the Japanese when we put in the same effort, because we are foreigners and our language skills are not as good as theirs, so working as hard as they do cannot make up for the language deficiency. When we put in twice as much effort and have already surpassed them in work, they still look down on us (because we are Chinese, we are not Americans or Russians. The Japanese have always been afraid of the United States and Russia because the United States beat Japan in World War II and because the Russians defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army! Only when you are in a foreign country can you deeply experience "a rich country and a strong people")

Only when we work three or four times harder and our abilities far surpass theirs, will they truly respect us! !

A few nights ago, I went out for a New Year party with my colleagues from the company and some of their friends! I drank a little too much (I can’t drink much, I’m allergic to alcohol, so my face turns red after just a little bit), but I was able to go home by myself, haha! !

There is a female colleague (Japanese, named Meihui) who is very cute. She is about 160 cm tall and weighs about 100 catties. We have a good relationship and we occasionally joke around, but never too much! She brought a girl with a great and refreshing body! hehe! When she drinks, she always looks at me (I look at her too), hehe! I was quite handsome when I was young, but now I am old and a little haggard, but still okay. When we were leaving after drinking, my colleague said that I looked drunk, why not go to her house first (they drove here, my colleague didn’t have many, but the girl did)

As a result, I went to her house, and then we had a threesome without realizing it...! ! !

We had dinner at their place the next day!

Everything was normal at work this morning, but a colleague (male, also Chinese) jokingly said in front of everyone: Did JOY (that's what the Japanese call me) stay overnight at Meihui's house? ?

Meihui and I both behaved quite normally! ! ! They shouldn't doubt it! ! !

However, when I went to get hot water for coffee during the lunch break, I was behind Meihui and there was a screen blocking the way as we faced others. She put the cup on the water dispenser and pressed the switch with one hand, while with the other hand she was secretly touching my little brother through my pants!

I was so excited at that moment, damn it! ! ! ! She is so bold!

He asked me to go to Chinatown for dinner in the afternoon. Just when I didn’t know whether to go or not, the president said that a client who owed our company money would treat us to dinner in the evening! ! !

hehe! Suddenly I felt relaxed! !

Actually, I am still relatively conservative. I did have female friends like lovers in China before, but those were after we had been together for a long time. This is the first time for something like this! ! ! !

Depend on! ! ! ! ! !

Only when I left did I realize she was going too! ! ! ! !

depressed! ! ! But don't let the president see it! ! If they find out, one of us will have to leave the company! ! ! !

I had dinner with East-West Commercial and Industrial Group (hereinafter referred to as East-West Group, a Japanese company with a weird name) last night.

The East-West Combination is an old client of ours, with whom we have an intricate trade relationship. However, they recently owed us nearly 20 million yen (about 1.5 million RMB), and I happened to be the person in charge of their company. Haha, maybe I and the office administrative secretary (a Japanese, in her thirties) have been pressing for debts recently, so they asked us to go out to build relationships.

Last night I had traditional Japanese food, which the Japanese call しゃぶしゃぶ, and it’s actually shabu-shabu, but the ingredients are a little different. I learned it from when I was in China!

We sat on a "seating table". The so-called seating is a long table placed on a heated kang similar to the one in Northeast China. The space underneath the table is empty and people can stretch their feet underneath. It feels similar to sitting on a normal chair, but yesterday's kang can be heated! It's warm when you sit on it, and your feet are warm too! This kind of seating and this kind of cuisine are of relatively high quality in Japan, and an ordinary meal would cost about 20,000 yen (about 1,500 yuan) per person. It can be seen that the Japanese are really anxious about the debt collection! !

Haha, when we arrived at the hotel last night, it was already past 7 o'clock. Three people from the East-West combination came, namely the sales manager, the administrative secretary, who was about 30 years old (very hot), and the manager's follower, and us, the president (I forgot to mention that the president is also Chinese), me, and Meihui.

The seating arrangement was that our two companies sat opposite each other, our president was in the middle, I was on the right, their department heads were also in the middle, and the administration department was opposite me! After exchanging business cards, we started eating.

After three rounds of drinks (I won't say much about the content of the conversation as it's confidential), the conversation went quite harmoniously, the issue of the debt was resolved, and after dinner, as I expected, the manager opposite proposed a "second meeting." The so-called second meeting meant that if we didn't have enough fun, we could go to a karaoke bar or a snack (Japanese pub with hostesses). Our president didn't even think of refusing (I guess that was his plan), so the six of us went to a nearby karaoke bar (my first time there).

The sales manager asked for four hostesses, and I was worried that Meihui and the administrative secretary of the East-West combination would feel embarrassed, but it turned out that they were more open-minded than me, and it was obvious that they came here often. Because we had to give the president some freedom, I and the other department manager's follower and Meihui and the others sat on one side. The president and his two couples started singing while we drank. As I was not very drunk, I leaned back on the sofa with my eyes closed. Meihui sat on my left and a hostess sat on my right. (Japanese hostesses are divided into those who go out and those who don't. Later I found out that the two hostesses of the president's group were those who went out, while we two didn't.)

At this time, it seemed like someone was coming. Although I was immersed in the joy of being a hooligan, I was always paying attention to the enemy around me. After all, I was being a hooligan, haha! So I secretly took my hand out and continued pretending to be asleep. Haha, I could feel that she was reluctant to let go. At this time, someone pushed me, and I opened my eyes and saw - it was Meihui? ? ? ? ? ?

Who did I touch just now? ? Hostess? Executive secretary of the East-West combination? If she was a hostess, it would be fine. At most, you could give her some money and she would definitely not say anything. But! ! ! ! ! ! ! What if he was the executive secretary of the East-West Group? ?

Oh, to buy cakes! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

I was so rude today. I made an appointment with my friend a few days ago to have lunch together at noon, but I actually forgot. Maybe what happened in the past few days was too unexpected for me, and I'm a little numb.

A friend from Tokyo came. Her name is Kanako. She is 31 years old this year. I met her in China before. At that time, I was a Japanese student and she was an international student from Japan to China. Friends who study foreign languages ​​should all know that frequent conversations with people help to improve language sense, especially conversations with foreigners. At that time, I often went to the Japanese corner. She and another girl were so-called teachers. I got to know the other girl first. That girl was called Harumi. She was fair-skinned and a little short, but had big eyes. She could drink a lot, two bottles of red wine! !

I first met Harumi. Although I was young at that time, I had some talent for languages. I had been to Japan for a year before and had some understanding of Japanese culture and life. In addition, I entered society early and was more mature, so I was completely different from other students at that time. Harumi and I soon became good friends. Harumi was 27 years old and I was 23 years old at that time.

Every time I attended her class, I would bring some Chinese or Japanese snacks or small gifts that can be bought in China. This is a Japanese custom, so it makes me stand out from other students. (Haha!! Only God knows, my purpose at that time was to seduce her.)

That was also my first time doing that kind of thing outdoors!

Later, our relationship lasted for nearly two years, it was just a sex relationship. Later, she started a Korean boyfriend, but our relationship never ended. Later, she changed her phone number and we lost contact! ! !

I met Xiangnaizi through Qingmei's introduction. Xiangnaizi is about 165cm tall and very beautiful, prettier than Qingmei, haha! ! There were a total of 8 Japanese female students in that class. Harumi was in the front row, but Kanaiko was definitely the most beautiful one among the international students at that time! But I heard from Harumi that she is already married!

Everyone likes to look at beautiful people, and so do I, but I didn’t have any other thoughts at the time, I just treated her as a good friend! ! ! Later, when I was distributing exam materials, I found out Xiangnaizi's email address, but we never contacted each other again. After I arrived in Japan this time, I tried to send her an email, and I didn't expect that she still remembered me! ! !

At noon, she had lunch at a fast food restaurant. She was thinner than before. After returning to Japan, she went to work for a company that had trade relations with China, but she was not happy! Her husband wanted a child, but Xiangnaizi's career had just started, and having a child would definitely have a big impact. The two of them had argued about this many times...

But I could tell she was quite happy to meet a friend from a few years ago. We talked a lot. She already knew about my relationship with Harumi, so she was more relaxed...

We left each other contact information and mailing addresses, hoping to keep in touch as long as possible, and then we sent her away! ! !

After I had my lustful release with Meihui in the office, we hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, took the contract and necessary items, and rushed to the karaoke bar. In the car, I looked at Meihui's still blushing face, and thought to myself: Damn! ! ! I had sex with my female colleague in the office! ! And it happened when the president was calling her... Oh my god! When did I become so bold when I was always humble and cautious? ? As I was thinking about it, my little brother got erect again! ! depressed! ! !

Suddenly, the vibration of my phone disturbed my thoughts. Based on the frequency and number of vibrations, I knew it was a text message (my phone always has vibration mode on). I took out my phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. Huh? ? strangeness? Who could it be at this late hour? You know, there are very few spam text messages in Japan. I opened the text message while I was lost in thought and couldn't help but gasp. My heart, which had just settled down, became chaotic again - it was that administrator! ! The text message said: Not long after Meihui and I left, she and her colleagues also went back to the company to get the necessary materials for the contract. However, they have already come back, and seeing that I was not there, she had a headache, so she asked for leave from the minister and left first! She asked me if I was going her way and if we could go for a walk together. She was waiting for me under the East Gate overpass of the baseball stadium...

Damn it! ! Is this a discussion with me? ? ? This is clearly a case of acting first and reporting later! !

But it’s been so long since I last went to karaoke, I’ve already calmed down from my initial nervousness! ! ! What can she do to me? ? What would happen if I went? What would happen if I didn’t go? ? ? I'm not worried! ! ! hehe! ! But out of curiosity, I decided to go anyway! !

When I arrived at the karaoke bar, I found that the administrator was not there, haha! ! I pretended to ask: Huh? Where is Ms. Okumura? Should I wait for her to come back before signing? ?

Their minister quickly apologized to me and said: I'm really sorry, she drank too much and left first! ! I'm so sorry! ! I'll ask her to apologize to everyone some other day! ! Meihui and I quickly exchanged some polite words and started to sign the contract... After discussing some verbal agreements and some details, the contract was finally signed! ! !

Probably half an hour had passed since she sent me the text message. I was not in a hurry. Even if something important happened, I had to finish the important task first. I couldn't forget the real purpose of today! ! !

After the contract was signed, both parties were very happy. A hostess sang a song and I sang a song before we said goodbye to everyone! ~! Because the contract had been signed, the president was very happy and told me not to worry about him and that it would be fine as Meihui was there. Let me go home and have a good rest! ! (Hehe!! I guess they have something to perform soon, so my leaving is just a convenience for them. I wonder what will happen to Meihui and the others? Never mind) After the other party said a few polite words, I left the karaoke bar under Meihui's ambiguous gaze! ! ! !

(I can’t help but sigh here! The workplace!! Okumura’s departure was rude and dereliction of duty! But my departure was a happy one for everyone!! Alas!!!)

After I left the karaoke bar, I headed straight for the east gate of the baseball field. As I walked, I was thinking about what I would say when we met. ? ? I've touched everything I should touch, what can you do to me? ? Haha, when I thought of the word "touch", my little DD, which had just had its release, started to become restless again! ! Humph! ! I will just stay constant in the face of ever-changing situations! When enemies come, we will stop them; when water comes, we will block it with earth! ! No one else saw it, what can you do to me? ?

While I was daydreaming, I had already reached the east gate of the baseball field! ! Damn, there’s no one here! After being so self-inflated for a long time, I was stood up. Was it because I waited too long? ? ? I leaned depressedly on the handrail of the green belt next to me, lit a cigarette, and started cursing in my heart. Suddenly, the sound of high heels woke me up from the dirty words in my heart! ! ! I saw a beautiful young woman walking towards me, holding a bottle of sobering vitamin drink in her hand! (It is similar to domestic Levitra and Red Bull. You can drink it even when you don’t drink alcohol. Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered a secret recipe. Brothers may wish to try it. Take 3 to 4 times the normal amount of Liuwei Dihuang Pills (the ordinary ones are about one cap at a time) with Red Bull about 4 to 5 hours before sex. It guarantees that you will be energetic all night, and there will be no other side effects except being a little tired the next day.)

It turned out that she thought I must have drunk too much (because I fell asleep during karaoke), so she went to buy me a bottle of sobering wine. I took it, drank it, said thank you, and shamelessly pretended to be calm and asked her what she wanted from me. I admire my thick skin! ! I guess it’s not much different from the city wall! !

She got married five years ago and had a child that year (she got pregnant before getting married). The year before last, her husband drove drunk and died together with the wall! ! She didn’t have to work before, but because she was driving under the influence, she only received a small portion of the government subsidy and company subsidies, and her insurance wasn’t much either, so she started working at the East-West Combination last year! ! She takes care of the child by herself, and her parents help occasionally! After dividing her husband's inheritance (her husband used to be a minister in the East-West Group and had some savings), her parents-in-law basically ignored her and her daughter! ! Because she was out working overtime tonight, her child was picked up by her parents (clearly hinting that I shouldn’t worry!)…

After hearing all this, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In Japan, single women are at a disadvantage, and single women with children are even more disadvantaged! ! ! well! ! ! Poor little widow! ! ! !

As she spoke, she stopped, took out the key and prepared to open the door! ! I looked up and was a little stunned! ! ! A three-story building! There is an orange tree inside the 1.5-meter-high low wall. With the faint sensor light, you can also see a car parked in the doorless garage next to it (there are plenty of Japanese cars). The yard is not big, and the door is four or five meters away... As she let me in, she said that this house was the most precious gift her husband left her! ! (In Japan, it is not easy to have your own house, especially an independent one!) After entering the house, the first floor was the living room. She poured me a glass of water, as if we had known each other for a long time. She asked me to sit downstairs for a while without any awkwardness while she went to run water for a shower (the bathroom was in the bedroom on the second floor, and downstairs was a public restroom with a shower but no bath)! ! ! Are you kidding? Everyone is so busy! How can I have time to wait for you to take a bath? For the sake of health, just take a shower, why soak?

Seeing that I was just taking a shower and had no intention of getting off, he turned off the hot water and stood up. Although she had given birth to a child, there was no fat around her waist. Her breasts were not particularly big but very firm, probably a C cup. Looking down, I was shocked. Her hair was too neat, wasn't it? ? I looked carefully through the mist and saw that she must have shaved it... Damn! It's so romantic...

She brought me a new set of toothbrushes and took a shower with me. It seemed that she really paid attention to the quality of life. I was brushing my teeth while taking a shower. At this time, she brought me a small plastic stool with a groove in the middle. I sat on it in surprise, wondering what the groove in the middle was for? ? If you sit crookedly, your butt will fall off halfway! ! ! At this time, she had already started to apply shower gel. I saw her apply shower gel on her chest and arms first, then squatted behind me, hugged me and rubbed against me. The feeling of this slippery flesh was so pleasant. I praised her for her good technique. She said that she and her husband used to take a bath like this. Her husband learned all this from AV. He always let her do it, and she never got tired of it. While talking, my back and front were covered with bubbles. Suddenly, I felt a slippery hand reaching out from under my butt and holding my balls, and the other hand went around my waist and held my little brother! ! Dizzy! ! ! ! The groove in the feeling is for reaching out...

After rinsing my body, she took out a bath towel to help me wipe my body, and said that she didn’t expect my hands were so powerful! ! She can't stand it anymore! ! ! Humph! ! I thought to myself, you don’t think of me as a little T girl, do you? ! !

After coming out of the bathroom, she poured me a glass of water. I lay naked on her airbed. She took out two black condoms. I took them and looked at them carefully. They were actually erotic (with raised dots and spiral patterns on them). At this moment, I suddenly felt my little DD getting hot. It turned out that she couldn't wait to start sucking! ! ! ! I was lying there enjoying myself happily when I felt something touching my head under the pillow. I reached out and touched it. It was a small vibrator. Although I had never used one, I had definitely seen one. So I opened a condom and put it on the vibrator and pulled her butt over. She looked up at the vibrator in my hand, smiled slightly, and without saying a word, she obediently turned her butt towards me... What a slutty and harmonious girl. I guess she must use it often at home! ! !

Since there was no need to be gentle with her, I stuffed the vibrator directly into her little pussy. After that, I suddenly turned the vibration to the highest level! Ao! ! ! ! ! ! ! Although she uses it often, she still can't stand the strong stimulation for a while! ! ! He shook his P desperately to break free! ! ! hehe! ! ! Am I so easy to talk to? ? ? I clamped her upper body with my legs and held her butt tightly with my hands. When she saw that her butt couldn't escape my clutches, she foolishly tried to use her little MEIMEI to squeeze the vibrating egg out! ! Hahaha! ! ! I think she has definitely lost her mind! ! ! That will only make the pleasure stronger and stronger! ! ! At this time, she no longer cared about the lollipop. She gritted her teeth and shouted heartbreakingly - I have no teeth - haha!

After vibrating for a while, I felt it was about time, although the water wasn't all over the floor (the novel said it could flow onto the thighs, which surprised me. Not to mention the amount, it wouldn't be possible for that concentration to flow out!!) So I pulled out the vibrator, and the moment I pulled it out, I felt her shake violently! ! ! ! She said sadly that I was simply a devil! ! Suddenly it was turned to the maximum without giving her any time to adapt! ! cut! I'll give you time to adapt. Where does my fun come from? Did you Japanese soldiers show us any leniency during the war of aggression against China? ? ? (I've said a bit too much, please don't mind)

So, she couldn't wait to put a condom on me, and I took up my gun and got on! ! ! It’s not very tight, but there’s enough water and it’s warm enough! ! ! I rushed forward and backward, blocked east and west, and after galloping for more than ten minutes, I felt that it was no longer possible! We had already done it once in the office just now. If she continues like this, she will definitely be tired at work tomorrow, so I suggested that she be on top. She gladly accepted. We rolled over and changed positions. She is very light, as if she has no bones, and we started moving with a moan! ! ! ! After a while, she turned around again. I bent my legs slightly and she held my knees. Damn, I like this position...

Despite Okumura's repeated requests, I decided to go home! I went out and turned on my phone and saw that it was already half past 12. There were 4 missed calls and 2 text messages. The first two were from Meihui. Judging from the time, I should have just come out of karaoke. The third one was from Meihui's popular friend! The fourth one is still Meihui, it’s 11 and a half dozen! ! The two text messages were also from Meihui and that girl. Meihui asked me why I turned off my phone? ? Is there something happening? Looking at her ambiguous tone, I think she must have noticed something! But I'm not worried, she still needs my help, and our positions don't conflict! The second message asked me if I had time on the weekend, and if possible, asked me to go to Odaiba, Tokyo, and then go to Oedo Hot Springs! ! ! She has a ticket! ! ! hehe! ! Looks like we'll have some good luck this weekend! !

After I hailed a taxi and told the driver the address, I closed my eyes and began to recall every detail that happened today! ! There should be no mistakes, and we must not let a disaster happen because of a momentary rush! !

hehe! ! ! First with Meihui in the office... and then with a young woman I just met...

well! ! ! ! What a lewd day! !

Although I am not a traditional person, I am not a ridiculous person either! !

Although I can still hold on physically (because I'm not as excessive as doing it four or five times a night), I'm really tired mentally! ! Thinking about what happened a few days ago, I started sweating unknowingly! ! ! With colleagues! ! 3P? ? The female secretary of an affiliated company! ! ! What’s even more bold is that it happened in the office! ! ! ! ! ! This is simply...he even went to the young woman's house! ! ! I don’t know what’s wrong with me these days? ? I have always been a person who never shows my emotions and always acts cautiously! How could he do so many audacious and ridiculous things! ! !

Today is Saturday! ! ! We have Saturday and Sunday off! ! ! But a few days ago, I made an appointment with Mihui's hot-tempered friend to meet at Tokyo Teleport (the only way for us to go to Odaiba) at 11 am on Saturday.

Compared to the previous few days, this time going to the hot spring did not put any psychological pressure on me! ! Because although she is Meihui's friend, she has nothing to do with the company after all! ! And the chances of running into anyone you know in Odaiba are slim! !

Speaking of Odaiba, I have to say a few words to everyone. Odaiba, also known as Odaiba (Kana: おだいば), is located on the artificial land in Tokyo Bay in the southeast of Tokyo. It is the newest entertainment venue concentration in Tokyo and is popular among people, especially young people. The name Odaiba has the following story: In 1853, the American Bailey led a fleet to Japan. At that time, Tokyo was still called Edo. Due to the urgent need for defense, they hastily built a naval battery and set it up here to defend against the enemy. From then on, this place was called Odaiba.

The center of Odaiba is Odaiba Mizuno-City, which has a shopping mall, a 300-meter-long street of trendy clothing stores, a large-scale movie theater with the latest audio and video equipment, Japan's largest food court with an area of ​​15,000 square meters, and Fuji TV, where you can observe the production process of popular TV programs. The main tourist spots include Odaiba Seaside Park, which is built along the new transportation system "Yuri Kame" that stretches from Shimbashi Station across the Rainbow Bridge to Odaiba. Standing in the park, you can overlook the majestic appearance of the Rainbow Bridge.

At ten forty-five, I arrived at **! ! ! I thought I could get there early, but I still got a small surprise! ! This chick actually got here before me! ! I thought I would have to wait for her for a while! I have to say that I really admire the Japanese. Tokyo is still very cold in January, not to mention this is the seaside. Even someone like me who grew up in the north and is more resistant to cold has to wear a coat! ! But this girl was only wearing thin stockings on her lower body and a thick coat on her upper body, but it was a low-cut top in front! Damn it! I handed her a bottle of hot drink that I had bought earlier and asked her, "Aren't you cold?" ? She smiled and snuggled into my arms! BTW! Her name is "Lan" and I only found out through text message the day before! ! sweat! ! !

After arriving at Odaiba! ! We first walked around the seaside park. Since it was not the tourist season, there were not many tourists. After we looked at the fake Statue of Liberty and Rainbow Bridge, we went to Fuji TV! ! !

Fuji TV, a building shaped like a TV, with a big ball in the middle! ! We bought two tickets and took the elevator straight to the top floor! ! It seemed like there was some celebrity film festival that day! ! But to be honest, I really don’t see where the photo is good! ! well! ! The works of celebrities become famous products! It can be seen that she doesn't like it very much either! We all looked at it absentmindedly for a while and then headed towards the hot spring in unison! !

Oedo Onsen is in Koto Ward! It's only about fifteen minutes' walk from Fuji TV, but Lan said there is a free shuttle bus. However, because it is a tour bus, it has to take a lot of detours so if we take the bus it will take nearly twenty minutes! But when I think about the possibility of another physical job later! ! So in order to save energy, I decided to take the bus! !

The twenty-minute drive passed in a flash, and we could see the ancient Japanese-style attic buildings of Oedo Onsen from a distance! It is my favorite ancient tile-style tower building style, it feels like I am in the Forbidden City! After getting off the tour bus, we finally entered the famous Oedo Onsen under the guidance of the waiter.

The bathing area is on the other side of the hall! But before taking a bath, we have to go outdoors for a foot bath! This so-called outdoor foot bath is actually a winding hot water channel paved with stones of various sizes. When people walk slowly on it, it will have a certain effect of massaging the soles of the feet! We supported each other and endured the itching and pain on the soles of our feet. After going through untold hardships, we finally finished walking through this torturous waterway. At this time, I found that there was a separate small house at the end of the waterway! We walked closer and saw that it was the Turkish fish kiss which was charged separately. I had made it several times when I was in China! But I was doing the whole body, and they were only doing the part below the calves. When a person sits in the pond, his body is constantly kissed and bitten by small fishes that are less than an inch long. It is very itchy and people without great endurance would certainly not be able to stand it! Although Lan and I had done it before, it wasn’t done together, so we went inside and were kissed for a while…

Then we returned to the lobby and prepared to take a real bath. We agreed to meet in the lobby in about an hour. If we couldn’t find each other, we would contact each other by phone! ! So, we each went into the bathing area...

No one is watching. I won't update anymore...
