"Commander, I heard that Orimura Instructor has a boyfriend. Is that true?" In the high-tech command center, a silver-haired girl questioned her older female commanding officer.
"Ah... ah... about that..." The older female commander groaned inwardly. How did this girl find out?I told everyone to try and keep it quiet even in private. The commander clearly underestimated the girls' capacity for gossip. Combined with the relatively close, family-like atmosphere of the squad, the silver-haired girl had inadvertently heard the shocking news.
"Commander!" The silver-haired girl fixed her eyes on the commander, who finally nodded reluctantly.
"Commander, how could you hide something this big from me? No, I'm going to see Orimura Instructor immediately!" The commander sighed, I knew you'd do this, that's why I kept it from you.
"Laura, what good will it do for you to go now? Don't interfere in a couple's private affairs." The commander looked seriously at the silver-haired girl, though from what she knew of her, the girl wouldn't give up easily.
"But... even so, I need to see it with my own eyes." The naive silver-haired girl didn't know how to refute, but she still stared at her commander with a stubborn expression.
"Alright, I'll allow you to go."
"Commander, thank you so much, truly."
"There's no helping it. Even if I forbade you, you'd sneak out anyway, so I might as well just let you go." The older commander looked at the joyful girl with resignation. You're the youngest in our squad, and everyone spoils you too much, myself included.
"And remember, don't disgrace the Black Rabbit Squad. If you go, challenge him honorably. We'll support you."
"Yes, Commander." The silver-haired girl saluted seriously. Looking at her, the commander wasn't sure if she had made the right decision.
Settling Down with Tabane
In the past few days, Tabane had been quite peaceful since her arrival. She hadn't mentioned a word about me having fucked her, acting as if nothing happened, and frequently hovered around Houki or Chifuyu. Houki even curiously asked her why, as someone who usually popped up and disappeared unpredictably, she wasn't hiding these days.
"Haha, well, I have my dear little sister to thank for that. Since she found such a capable boyfriend, big sister no longer has to worry about the military bothering her. So, naturally, I don't need to hide and can spend time with Houki-chan to make up for it, snuggles."
I remember that's what Tabane said, giving me a playful wink, which made Houki blush furiously. Just like that, Tabane naturally stayed. She truly lives up to her reputation as a cunning older woman. Since she had an intimate relationship with me, it was only natural for her to leverage it.
Of course, I wasn't just sitting idle. When staying overnight with Chifuyu, I often brought along this cunning rabbit. She couldn't beat me, and she couldn't escape, so what else could Tabane do? To be honest, she was slowly starting to enjoy the feeling, mostly because it was just too comfortable.
Initially, Chifuyu was strongly against the idea of a threesome. Despite her outward mature appearance, she was surprisingly pure. Tabane, however, was indifferent—or rather, she became even more excited, claiming that being fucked alongside Chifuyu-chan had a unique flavor.
She even intentionally or unintentionally brought up Houki's name during sex, which excited me so much that I fucked her until she passed out. When she woke up, she gave me a look loaded with meaning. I could only say she had read my mind.
All in all, the past few days had been very moist for me. However, unexpected surprises always arrive suddenly. For instance, right now. Should I call my 'Waiting for the Rabbit' strategy successful? It worked for Tabane, and it's working again now.
Laura's Challenge
"I heard there's an instructor here named Jian whose abilities are incredible. I'm keen to challenge you. May I?" Early in the morning, a black IS stood in the center of the academy's sports field, using its loudspeaker to shout a challenge.
The other students who had stayed at the academy gathered to watch, some on their dorm balconies, others observing from the edge of the field. I was preparing for my morning exercise and felt annoyed that someone was interrupting my workout so early. However, the voice was a girl's and sounded quite nice, so I decided to check it out.
Chifuyu, hearing the voice, had a strange look on her face. As I got up, she seemed about to say something, but only reacted after I walked out, quickly putting on her clothes and chasing after me.
"Hmm... are you the one looking to challenge me?" I looked the girl up and down. She had striking silver hair, a slightly pale complexion, red eyes, and a black eye patch over her left eye. Her beautiful face was framed by a gray IS bodysuit that exposed her smooth shoulders and armpits.
Her lower body was still covered by the IS bodysuit's suggestive small triangle, white thighs, and gray tights. I had to admit, the IS bodysuit, which resembled a school swimsuit, was incredibly lewd, especially paired with the equally smooth tights—the eroticism was greatly enhanced. Unfortunately, a lot of it was covered by the IS armor.
"You have the courage to come out and accept the challenge, so your guts are fine. I just hope you're not an arrogant fool." Seeing me, the silver-haired girl also sized me up and then muttered something under her breath.
"Miss, are you truly determined to challenge me?"
"Of course." The silver-haired girl nodded firmly. Chifuyu, who had followed me out, cursed inwardly. Sure enough, it's that girl. Why challenge anyone else but Jian?I can't help you now.
"Orimura Instructor!" The sharp-eyed silver-haired girl spotted Chifuyu and immediately wanted to rush over, but she suppressed her excitement, remembering her opponent.
"You silly girl, what can I say to you?" Chifuyu looked at her former student with a helpless expression. Isn't this just walking into the lion's den?
"Don't worry, Orimura Instructor, I won't disgrace you!" With Chifuyu present, the silver-haired girl felt invigorated and capable of performing at 200% of her usual strength.
"Oh, Miss, since you've come for me, you must know that this Instructor here lost to me in a previous match. Do you really believe you're better than your Instructor?"
"Of course, I'm not as strong as Orimura Instructor, but I also don't believe someone as strong as she is could lose to you. There must be a reason, so I challenge you." Saying this, the silver-haired girl took off her black eye patch, revealing her golden eye.
"It seems you're ready. Then come. Be warned, I'll finish this quickly. It might only take an instant." Having my morning mood disturbed by this girl, if it had been a man, I would've vaporized him without even stepping out. But since it's a beautiful girl, I'll have to ensure I get a proper reward.
"Hmph, I will not lose."
"Then, I'll ask Chifuyu to be the referee. Let's start right here. I trust this young lady has no objections."
"I am Laura Bodewig. I certainly have no objection to Orimura Instructor being the referee. In fact, I wanted Orimura Instructor to witness this match." The spirited girl was oblivious to what she was about to face.
"Fine." This silly girl won't listen until she suffers a setback, though the price might be high. I'll try my best to mitigate it later, but the probability of me being dragged into this is higher. Having a very good understanding of my habits, Chifuyu already planned her next move.
"Are both sides ready? One, two, three, begin!" Chifuyu stood on the edge of the sports field. Once both of us nodded, she gave the starting signal.
The match, as I had predicted, ended in an instant. The moment Chifuyu's words faded, I charged straight ahead. Even with the aid of her golden eye and IS, Laura couldn't track my figure. She only felt a sharp pain in her abdomen, then lost consciousness. The last hazy image she saw was me supporting her.
My fist had directly shattered Laura's energy shield, followed by a blow to her abdomen. Just kidding, I'm not interested in that kind of heavy-handed play. I only knocked the girl unconscious, and as she collapsed, I naturally caught her slender waist.
To avoid damaging Laura's IS, I waited for Chifuyu, who had walked over, to help me disengage the Black Rain IS armor. Under the gaze of the students, I draped Laura over my arm, clasping her waist. Since everyone present was a girl, I didn't worry about Laura's compromising posture. I simply carried her and Chifuyu back to the dorm.
A Shocking Awakening
"Mmm... where is this?" Laura slowly regained consciousness. She vaguely heard a man's heavy breathing and a woman's voice. The woman's voice was strange, something she'd be embarrassed to make even if she was alone. Wait, the match...
When Laura opened her eyes, the scene before her made her gasp in disbelief. On the bed, an older woman with a flushed face was being fucked from behind by a sturdy young man. Everything before her exceeded her comprehension, causing Laura's mind to instantly crash. The older woman was none other than her most respected Orimura Instructor.
"Mmm... Jian... I can't take it... if you fuck me anymore... I'll die... oh..." Chifuyu was being fucked so hard that her eyes were rolling back, and saliva drooled from the corner of her mouth, a picture of unbearable torment as she pleaded for mercy.
Chifuyu's words brought the dazed Laura back to reality. The man who had defeated her was also the man in the report—Orimura Instructor's boyfriend. Even though Orimura Instructor was begging him to stop, the man showed no signs of slowing down; in fact, he was moving even more fiercely. No, at this rate, Orimura Instructor will...
"Wait... wait a minute! Didn't you hear Orimura Instructor say she can't take it anymore?" How could Laura remain silent when her most respected instructor was being treated this way? She tried to step forward to stop me, but the moment she moved, she realized her body was soft and weak. What's going on? That guy must have done something to me.
"Stop quickly! What if Orimura Instructor really dies if you keep this up?" Laura struggled to crawl to my side and weakly tugged at my arm, but her minuscule strength had no effect on me. Instead, she was pulled along with my thrusting.
"But I'm not satisfied yet, so how can I stop?" I continued to thrust rapidly into Chifuyu, making her let out one seductive moan after another. Of course, I wouldn't tell the pure silver-haired girl before me that her Orimura Instructor was only moaning uncontrollably because she was being fucked into ecstasy. There was no way I would truly let a beauty perish.
"You truly are unworthy of Orimura Instructor! Stop this! Whatever you need to be satisfied, let me give it to you. Please let Orimura Instructor go!" Hearing Orimura Instructor's moans growing louder, Laura genuinely feared the worst. Making a sacrifice for her instructor was nothing.
"Oh? Is that true?"
"It's absolutely true! So please stop now!" The helplessness of being forced to yield was truly painful. Laura vowed that after this, she would become much stronger.
"Fine, since you put it that way." I lunged forward violently. After dozens of thrusts, Chifuyu let out a scream, reaching climax. I then shot a full load deep into Chifuyu's small hole before pulling my cock out.
"This... Orimura Instructor couldn't be..." Seeing Chifuyu's loud, lustful shriek and then collapse limp onto the bed, Laura was terrified, believing Chifuyu had actually been fucked to death. She instantly resolved to fight me to the death.
"Calm down. Chifuyu is fine. She's just been fucked into submission and has fallen asleep. Look closely, she's still breathing." Laura had been blinded by panic, but now she looked closer and saw that Chifuyu was indeed breathing, quite heavily, in fact.
"Even so, you went too far! Orimura Instructor said she couldn't take it!"
"Then it's your turn, isn't it? I stopped. You should uphold your promise now." I turned around, presenting my still proudly erect large cock.
"This... this..." Laura stared in shock at the huge object before her. Such a monstrous thing! That was thrusting in and out of Orimura Instructor just now! That a thing so enormous could fit inside her small hole! Truly worthy of Orimura Instructor.
"What, are you going back on your word? Then I'll just go back to Chifuyu." Saying this, I pretended to turn around to continue fucking Chifuyu. Laura immediately tried to grab me, but because she was still weak, she instead tumbled onto me.
"No, I never said I wouldn't do it! It's just... I don't know how to do it." This made the proud Laura feel ashamed. She was the one who suggested it, yet she didn't know how. How embarrassing!
"That's not a problem. I'll teach you." I helped Laura up. Although leaning on the girl's beautiful body was certainly nice, what came next would be even better, so I had to be patient. At the same time, I restored Laura's physical strength.
"First, I'll teach you fellatio." Laura, finding her strength restored, didn't try to escape. She knew she couldn't escape while taking Chifuyu with her. So, she sat obediently on the floor before me, listening to my instructions on how to perform fellatio.
Of course, I wasn't idle during the lesson. I leaned close to Laura, placing one hand on her breast and the other on her butt, and helped her stand up.
"How can I listen to you teaching me fellatio if you do this?" She truly was raised in the military. It seemed the other girls hadn't taught her this kind of knowledge. Her focus was completely misplaced, but that was all the better for me.
"Don't worry about it. Just concentrate on listening to me." How can you expect me not to worry about it? I embraced Laura from behind, my hands beginning to rub her small, tender breasts through the IS bodysuit, and pressing my erect cock against her round, perky butt, which was encased in the IS bodysuit.
The strange sensations on her body distracted Laura, but for Chifuyu's sake, Laura gritted her teeth, tried to clear her mind, and listened to my instructions on fellatio techniques. I intentionally made the instructions complicated because teasing the silver-haired girl was quite entertaining.
"Alright, that's roughly it. You can begin performing fellatio on me now, Laura." I reluctantly let go of Laura for the moment, pressing down on her shoulders as I spoke, making her kneel on the floor.
"Now, say the opening line I taught you first." I brought my cock close to Laura's small mouth. Instantly, a scent mixed with semen and lust fluid assaulted Laura's senses. For some reason, smelling this scent made her body feel hot.
"I... will eat your... large cock..." Laura said softly, her face red, facing the twitching, red, swollen glans.
"Louder! Where is the spirit you had when you challenged me before?" Hearing me bring up the past, Laura glared at me with shame and anger. She was defeated in one move! How embarrassing! Why bring that up now?
"I will eat your large cock... mmm..." Laura finally said it loudly, but before she could finish, I thrust my thick, long cock into her small mouth. The thick cock made Laura feel like she was about to suffocate.
Following my previous instructions, she knew she shouldn't bite with her teeth and had to use her tongue and mouth. Laura recalled my instructions while attempting the motions.
My hard cock felt the moist, soft pleasure of Laura's small mouth. I cupped Laura's head and started thrusting back and forth. Each thrust was partially retracted, but because my cock was so thick and long, the glans still pushed deep into Laura's throat.
Laura, being deep-throated for the first time, immediately gagged. She tried to spit it out, but I held her head down firmly, forcing her to hit my thigh to protest.
Seeing that Laura truly couldn't handle it, I paused the thrusting, pulling my cock out of Laura's mouth with a loud "pop." A glistening strand of wanton silver saliva connected the glans to Laura's delicate lips.
"What's wrong, Laura? Was my cock too big? You can't take it?"
"How can you even ask that? It was so rough! Who could handle that? I almost threw up!"
"You're just not used to it yet. You should know that Chifuyu can deep-throat me now. As her student, you should work harder. Come, you do it yourself now." Saying this, I pushed my cock against Laura's pink lips and pearly teeth again.
"Really? No wonder Orimura Instructor..." Thinking about the gagging sensation when it reached her throat, the fact that Orimura Instructor could endure it made her even more worthy of her respect. Hmph, I must work hard, too, and not disgrace Orimura Instructor again.
Of course, Laura didn't dare attempt deep-throating yet, so she could only use the knowledge I had taught her to perform fellatio on me. She first cupped her slender index finger and thumb into a circle, surrounding my thick cock, and then opened her small mouth, taking the enormous, red, swollen glans inside.
Laura's delicate lips tightly wrapped around the shaft, slowly sliding back and forth. To satisfy me quickly, Laura forcefully sucked the thick, long cock, making loud "sucking" sounds, and used her flexible tongue to lick the glans. Her tongue continuously swept across the ridge and frenulum of my glans, sending a shiver of pleasure through my body.
I watched Laura seriously suck and swallow my cock below me and couldn't help but reach out. I reached inside her smooth IS bodysuit, kneading her small, snowy-white breasts. Although her breasts were small, they were firm and soft.
As those small, tender breasts were kneaded and deformed in my hands, Laura's body involuntarily reacted. Her vagina began to secrete tiny amounts of lust fluid, dampening her underwear until a slight wet patch was visible through the triangle area of her bodysuit.
Laura suddenly felt a tingling and slight pain in her chest. I had reached inside her IS bodysuit with my hand and accurately found Laura's pink nipples with my index finger and thumb, skillfully rubbing and pinching them.
"Mmm! Mmm..." With my cock blocking her small mouth, Laura could only protest through her nose.
"What's wrong, Laura? Just this won't make me cum." Feeling dissatisfied, I cupped the back of Laura's head with both hands and began thrusting my hips rapidly.
To prevent me from shoving too much of my cock into her mouth, Laura had to use her hands to cup the base of my cock. She also submissively grasped my scrotum. Seeing this, I didn't force her to take it too deep.
I enjoyed the warm, moist sensation of Laura's small hands while thrusting back and forth in Laura's small mouth. Laura's small face was distorted into an arc by the pressure of the glans. A "squish, squish" sound of saliva echoed in the room.
The pleasure from my cock intensified. After dozens of final thrusts, I forcefully inserted my cock into Laura's small mouth. My thick cock pulsed, and a continuous stream of semen burst out of the urethra, shooting like a cannon down Laura's throat.
Laura pushed hard against my thigh with both hands, but her head was pinned, unable to move. To avoid choking, Laura had no choice but to swallow all of my semen.
After nearly two minutes, I stopped ejaculating and pulled my cock out of Laura's mouth. Laura, her mouth free, coughed violently, gulping in fresh air.
"Wait... what are you going to do next?" While Laura was catching her breath, I tore her IS bodysuit, exposing her slightly pale, beautiful body.
"Didn't you, Laura, say you would satisfy me? I'm certainly not satisfied yet." I proudly presented my still-erect cock, demonstrating my lack of satisfaction.
"How many more times will it take for you to be satisfied?" Laura, completely ignorant of such matters, could only stare blankly at my still-hard cock and swallow, Mmm, it still tastes like semen.
"Who knows? But since it's your first time, Laura, I won't go on for too long." As I spoke, I led Laura to the edge of the bed. I knelt down on the floor, facing Laura's pink small hole, lowered my head, and extended my tongue to tease it.
"Yikes! What are you doing?" Laura instinctively pressed my head down with both hands, but she couldn't stop me from continuing to lick her small hole. My tongue licked her tender labia several times, then gently teased her small clitoris with the tip of my tongue.
"I need to make you comfortable first... for what comes next..."
"What comes next? Ah... why did you put your tongue inside? Mmm... don't do that, it feels so strange..." By then, I had already plunged my tongue into Laura's small hole. The tight walls of flesh made my tongue barely move. How good would my cock feel inside here?
My tongue moved nimbly, licking the tender flesh inside Laura's vaginal cavity, up and down, left and right, stimulating the girl's delicate vagina. The already moist small hole secreted even more lust fluid, which I happily swallowed.
"That strange... feeling... mmm... is getting stronger... I can't take it... it's coming... mmm..." Clearly inexperienced and having never masturbated, Laura quickly stiffened under my tongue-play. Her upper body became rigid, her beautiful legs squeezed my head tightly as she convulsed, her small, cute toes curled and stretched, and a large amount of lust fluid erupted from her small hole.
I quickly embraced Laura's slender waist, pulling her flush against me. One hand caressed her beautiful leg, encased in the smooth gray tights, and the other kneaded her round, perky butt.
"Alright, now for the main event." I positioned Laura to sit on my thighs, her gray tights spread apart. The smooth gray tights rubbing against my legs felt wonderful.
While enjoying the sensation of Laura's gray tights, I used my left hand to support her smooth perky butt from behind, moving her back and forth, rubbing my hard cock against Laura's moist labia.
"Mmm... pant... wait... so... what's the main event... ah..." Laura, dazed, was about to ask what I was planning, when I forcefully pushed her hips down. Laura's already moist small hole was immediately penetrated by my cock.
With a "thwack," my cock plunged in forcefully, the impact breaking Laura's hymen immediately. Although I chose to break Laura's hymen quickly this time, I didn't rush to start moving right away.
"Mmm... it hurts... I told you... something that big... wouldn't fit in there... mmm hmm..." Laura bit her lip, her hands tightly gripping my shoulders. She kept complaining about the pain but stubbornly refused to ask me to pull out.
"Laura, that's impressive. You truly were raised in the military." Seeing Laura endure the pain, I began to thrust slowly. The movement of my cock drew out a trickle of bright red blood that flowed down the shaft.
"Mmm hmm... Mmm..." Hearing me speak so casually angered Laura. She lunged at me, sinking her teeth into my neck. Fortunately, my skills are exceptional, or Laura might have drawn blood.
Since she acted so aggressively, I couldn't show weakness. My hands gripped Laura's smooth beautiful butt from behind, arbitrarily kneading its softness while supporting her hips to move up and down. Laura's wet, hot canal felt even tighter due to her sitting posture, pressing the invading, thick cock from all sides.
Gradually, I sped up my thrusting, making Laura's perky butt bounce up and down between my legs. The lubricated, muddy beautiful hole was swallowing my massive cock faster and faster.
Being oral sexed to climax earlier had already made Laura's delicate body incredibly sensitive. Now, the impact of the cock between my legs began to bring Laura pleasure. Her small mouth, biting my neck, unconsciously loosened its grip, and she started making small, muffled moans.
"Ah!" Finally, with a deep insertion of my cock, Laura let go of my neck. I took the opportunity to lower my head, my lips meeting her gently bouncing small breasts. I used the tip of my tongue to stimulate and lick the small pink bud, sometimes sucking, sometimes lightly nibbling.
"Mmm... oh... this feeling... so comfortable... mmm..." Laura weakly pushed my head with her hands, but that couldn't stop my continuous ravaging of her wonderful, tender breasts. Feeling the dual pleasure from her nipples and small hole, Laura's eyes grew hazy. The physical pleasure had now completely gained the upper hand, and she let me fuck her as I pleased, holding her hips.
"Mmm hmm..." At that moment, Chifuyu, who had been asleep from exhaustion, suddenly rolled over. Hearing the sound, Laura's entire body tensed up. She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt. I felt Laura's small hole clenching tightly around my cock, a sign of her tension.
"Mmm... what are you... doing... oh... no..." I suddenly picked Laura up and slowly walked toward the center of the bed.
Seeing me move closer to Chifuyu, Laura instantly understood my intention. She nervously leaned against me, and to maintain balance, her hands helplessly gripped my head, pressing it tightly against her tender chest. Her gray tights legs dangled in the air, her entire weight almost completely supported by my cock.
When I reached Chifuyu's side, I gently pressed Laura down beside her. Laura shook her head frantically, her sexy small perky butt twisting restlessly, which passively churned my cock within her flower canal. The smooth gray tights rubbed against my waist, letting me enjoy their silky feel.
I felt my large cock tightly enveloped by Laura's wet inner flesh. The glans was soaked in lust fluid and thrilled. I saw Laura's mouth forming the silent word "no," her brows furrowed in a desperate attempt to hold back. I smiled playfully and began to thrust slowly.
At the same time, I positioned Laura's exposed small feet, opening my mouth to take her cute small toes into my mouth. My lower body then viciously pushed my cock upward and plunged it forcefully into Laura's sweet flower canal. Receiving such a fierce impact, Laura could only bite her lower lip tightly, a layer of sweat breaking out on her forehead from the intense sex.
"Mmm... Mmm... Hmph mmm... Mmm..." Although she tried to hold back, the overwhelming pleasure still made Laura's throat release soft moans.
I continued to lick Laura's small feet, from her toes to her sole, thoroughly licking every part of Laura's perfect small feet. The accumulation of pleasure made Laura involuntarily twist her waist, her small hole cooperatively slipping up and down on my thick cock.
Seeing Laura's passionate cooperation, my desire for conquest grew. I began to thrust with greater force and range. Due to the large amount of lust fluid that had flowed out of Laura's small hole, a "squish, squish" sound of water came from the junction of our sex organs with every thrust.
At this point, my hands continuously roamed and kneaded Laura's smooth gray tights beautiful legs, as if trying to squeeze water from Laura's tender gray tights beautiful legs. And I licked the exposed small feet over and over, missing no part.
"Don't be so rough... mmm... what if you wake... Orimura Instructor... hmph... that wouldn't be good... ah..." Seeing Laura's struggle to hold back, I couldn't resist increasing the intensity of my thrusting. My waist suddenly exerted force, thrusting upward from below into Laura's flower canal.
My hips clenched tightly, driving my cock in and out of Laura's flower canal like a motor. Each thrust drove the glans directly into the deepest part of the small hole, reaching that soft, delicate climax point, that warm, wet secret chamber.
"At this rate... I can't hold back... oh... it feels too good... no... you're hitting it..." Laura was overwhelmed by the intense pleasure and finally released a loud, seductive moan. The deepest climax point of her small hole was repeatedly struck by me, and wave after wave of pleasure drowned Laura.
"Ah... I'm going again... ah..." Laura's delicate body tensed, and her flower canal strongly contracted, spurting a jet of hot love fluid onto my red, swollen glans. I also thrust my cock upward forcefully, breaking through the flower canal and plunging into the deepest secret garden, where I fully shot my hot semen.
"Mmm... hot... stuff... so much... shot inside..." My copious semen filled Laura's womb. I continued to shoot for a while before stopping, then held Laura's limp, snowy-white body, gently caressing her.
Later, I fucked Laura one more time. After that, Chifuyu woke up and, seeing her student's tormented appearance, volunteered to join. Naturally, I happily agreed. Were they perhaps true to the bond of master and student?
And just like that, with my intentional plotting against their unsuspecting natures, I completed a threesome with the master and student pair. I must say, the feeling was incredibly satisfying, especially when Laura recovered and was pulled next to Chifuyu to be fucked together. Her expression of unwilling defiance mixed with a hint of anticipation was truly amusing.
