My Entire Class Has Been Reincarnated – I Became the Weakest Skeleton! 112-Episode 102 Directly Below

Five days until the core ltdown

Sweet, try to kill !

Giant Mama screams as she flips Sarutoyo's body off with one hand.

At the sa ti, a huge tree root grows out of the ground and rushes towards the giant body of the mistress. However, Giant Mama holds up one hand, not disturbing her breathing at all, and her thick lips are mouthing a spell at high speed. Few could hear the super-fast chanting, which was roughly beyond the audible range of humanity.

''Flashing Sky Light Revelation (Li Iglblaster)!

As the last word is chanted, a flash of light gushes out of the palm of my hand. The brilliance that nearly filled my vision was instantaneous. It converged and turned into a blade, crushing a large number of attacking roots.

It is roughly the finest chanting black magic that a human can exercise. It was too large in scale to be unleashed by a nearly two-ter obese middle-aged woman wearing an apron, a knight lady who ran a guest house in the capital. The picture is extrely surreal, but when it cos to the actual destructive power that is derived, it is not at all funny.

As soon as the light cleared, there were two shadows that jumped at her. Giant Mama responded with a steadfast stance.

''Oooh-ooh-ooh!

One of the shadows transford its body with a scream. Its entire body is enlarged unnaturally, and it turns into a monster fish of nearly 10 ters. Its jaws, which are large enough to swallow a human being in one bite, close in on Giant Mama.

Salmonichiro Uozumi is transford into a monstrous fish, but the woman he faces is neither afraid nor frustrated. She held up one arm as if it was sothing she was familiar with, and the magic power converged in her hands.

The converged magic is released with a spell, faster, a swoop from behind. An orc stakeout goes to push off. That's when, for the first ti, Giant Mama lost her stance. The firebolts that were supposed to be fired at the fishern miss their target and disappear toward the azure sky. The fishern's wide open jaws are about to be bitten by the arm of their mother, who has successfully raised three boys and two girls.

Even if you are an exceptional wizard, you are still a human being. When it cos to physical strength, demons are almost always overwheld. It was supposed to be. But in the next mont, it was the huge body of the fishern that was knocked to the ground.

Sushin. The sound of scales and bones creaking could be heard. The earth within a radius of a few ters with the fishern at its center slowly caved in. A cage of gravity suddenly arose and stuck the fishern to the earth. At that ti, the giant mama was already facing not the fishern, but Okumura, who was approaching from behind. When the woman chanted a short incantation against Okumura, who was already at close range, her right arm wore a thunderbolt with the sound of popping air. The thunderbolt eventually turned into a spear and pierced Okumura's body from the front.

''Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

And yet, that didn't stop the orc's huge body. With both arms, Okumura grabbed up Giant Mama's hand and twisted it up in one go.

''You do it!''

The giant mama shouted with even a hint of glee in her spare ti. With fangs peeking out of their mouths, the orcs are desperate to twist the human body down with their noses. The overwhelming superiority in terms of physical strength, however, in this case, was equivalent to a castle in the sand. Imdiately afterwards, Okumura's body was also hit by the load of super gravity.

''Phew, goooooooo...!

As expected of a boast of monstrous power, he couldn't be crushed in an instant. However, the sweat sticking to his entire body was a true sign of the inferiority of the power ga.

Even in this state, the fishern were still unable to move while being knocked down to the ground. This woman had enough power to deploy and sustain high-level attack magic in multiple fields simultaneously. At the sa ti, the na of the Five Divine Stars is not an honorable one, and at the sa ti, as expected, the remarkable difference in specs between her and her appearance is probably a fraud.

They will be taking on the strongest housewife in this world. The "lion's roar" star, Giant Mama.

It's a good thing that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away from the fact that you can't get away with it. In the face of a woman who uses a variety of magic with excellent offensive and defensive abilities, Luke's strategy of sealing off Shakko was useless. If you contain them with a wall, they will dig their way out of the ground, and the mushroom haze's chemical attacks will be useless if they can control the wind. In the end, there was nothing better to do than to confront them with force from the front.

And now it is. While his comrades ran out of power one by one, Okumura Akemitsu put up a desperate resistance.

''Guh, guh, guh, guh, guh.......!

Mmmm.....

In the midst of the high load, the fishern who had turned into monstrous fishes desperately cowered. Furthermore, the body of the first gobayash that was blocked from moving, also slowly stood up while holding down the creaking bones.

Repulsion against super gravity. Forcibly shaking off the force that was trying to hold it back.

"You're going to move in here........! You're good!

The room is slowly being chipped away from Giant Mama's words. As the trees around them were being flattened and crushed, Goubayashi began to walk away.

Okumura, on the other hand, doesn't have the luxury of ti either. With a plop, a blood vessel popped and red jumped. The arteries in his arms, temples and neck swelled up, succumbing to the pressure generated by his strength and spurting blood one after another.

A golden fighting spirit exuded from Oga's entire body. At this point, a cold sweat finally broke out on the woman's forehead.

It was a strategy that had been factored into the surroundings that Govayashi had preserved his strength to this extent. Against the Giant Mama, who was firing a series of high firepower attack magic, she would set up an in-range battle, which was her weakest point. She would sneak into the bosom of one of them and aim for an opening that blocked her movents.

Of course, not everything goes as it should. She still responded with a wide variety of magic as a counterasure against being sneaked in at close range. And perhaps the tiger's child should be called this gravity ward. They were deployed in multiple places and stacked on top of each other to block their movents. There didn't seem to be any gaps in Giant Mama's ability to exercise multiple extrely powerful magic.

In the end, Goubayashi was forced to move before Okumura and Uozumi reached their limits. As it turned out, this decision was apparently the right one.

Giant Mama's magic processing power wasn't infinite either. The multiple gravity wards that were deployed over a wide area seed to be at least as close as she could get. On top of that, do they have enough left over to take on the fighting spirit clad gauvashi? This is the ti to make a move. And for Okumura, it's also a crucial point of leverage.

'..........

At that mont, Giant Mama released all of the gravity wards that had developed around her. Okumura's body, which had been holding out, fell down with all the montum it could muster. At the sa ti, a middle-aged woman with a stunning tar-shaped body floated softly into the sky. It seems to be a type of flying magic. And in her raised hand, the magic power was again concentrated as light.

She intends to use the magic from earlier to rip off the entire ground. Goubayashi watches as Mama's mouth performs a high-speed chant.

''Hmph!

Until the gravitational wards are released and Giant Mama floats up into the sky, and then Goubayashi kicks the earth in pursuit of her. During this ti, less than a second passes. The body of Goubayasi, clad in fighting spirit, beca like a cannonball and struck down the body of the wizard who erged from the sky.

''As such, it's a hard-fought victory.

Goubayashi's voice was so exhausted that he could hear it over the call. Kyousuke was patched up.

''Still, it's a big deal. If you're the Five Divine Stars, then you must be as strong as that naless guy.''

"I'm getting the impression that you've cut a lot of corners.

The remaining masks at the base have been challenging Giant Mama's opponents to a mock battle for the past few days. The Five Divine Stars and the Imperial Clockwork Alliance (Dial Knights). And the senior level of the blood clan. They are the top-ranked fighting beings in this world. It's not a bad thing to borrow their chests and train with them.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. I would like to repay him for once, but unfortunately we don't even know where he is, and there are many things that need to be done first.

It's already been a few days since we entered the Evil Spirit Marshes. Kyousuke, along with Rin, had also continued to train with his sword. Kenzaki's teaching thod is very old-fashioned or, as you can see, extrely intuitive and hard work is constant, but Rin translates that well, so it's a thing. Harao, who had followed , was still sleeping well.

''It........Tsurogi, how is your.......you?''

As expected, the Hanazono-made communication tomatoes seem to be at the limit of their distance soon, and Goubayashi's voice is choppy. In short, it's a communication using the telepathy of a plant-type monster, but apparently it's not a panacea. Even the tomatoes growing out of the behemoth's head seem to have lost so of their luster.

'Well, well, I'd say things are going well........'

Reading Goubayashi's voice as asking for progress, Kyousuke glanced back as he answered vaguely.

'Then I'll explain again! I'm Kenzaki, the person who will temporarily lead you and the others gathered here! No, not human, though!

There was Kenzaki gumi, her cloak flapping in the wetland breeze, standing with her hands on the hilt of her sword and her back straight. It's the so-called saber-standing. It's a good idea to be able to have a good ti with them.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what you're looking for. Many are skeletons and make clattering sounds. So of them are zombies and ghosts, but there are quite a few of them. In addition, there were also a couple of Dullahan. Compared to Kenzaki, their armor was dirty and shabby, and one of them didn't have a head.

They were the undead monsters that inhabited this evil spirit marsh. The purpose of Kyousuke and the others was to scout them quickly. They invited the wild monsters to join their ranks and brought them back. In exchange for their strength, they would provide them with food, clothing and shelter.

It was the sa as the goblin army that Gokubugawara had brought with him, or Zeku of Oga, who had sohow managed to get to the base. There were other skeletons in the initial dungeon of the transition that were willing to help Kyousuke, the imps that Kaoruko made friends with, and Sahagin who followed the fishern, but the skeletons left them in the promised graveyard (catacombs) and got separated from the Sahagins.

The idea of bringing in wild demons as a fighting force was actually not too different from the blood clans. So, at the very least, Kyousuke didn't want to appeal to violent ans as much as possible. He had planned to bring them back with at least their understanding, but even so, as a result of their communication, a good number of undead monsters followed him.

''Then it's fine.''

Good, says Goubayashi, as Kyousuke says that things are going well. He then continued.

'Utsurogi, about Hino.

Yeah, what's going on?

'No, the situation itself hasn't changed. What I'm concerned about is Hino's abilities.''

'Oh...'

Kyousuke looked up at the sky. It was sothing he had been thinking about for a long ti, too.

It was approximately certain that Ei Hino had awakened to his Phase 2 ability. Ei used to be able to make fire as much as he could, but his output has increased by leaps and bounds compared to what it used to be, and the side effects that co with it are scattered in other forms as well.

What kind of abilities that Ei had gained was sothing that Kyousuke had been trying to figure out.

''It may be a wild guess, but I think it's sothing like fission.''

I knew it.

I'm not going to laugh it off, and Kyousuke simply nodded his head.

The "Black Sun" nickna given to the Empire and the destruction of the mushroom hats' mycelial network from their cells are both words that remind of radiation. What the sun is causing is not nuclear fission but nuclear fusion, but Kyousuke doesn't know the difference between the two in detail.

It's been a few months since he was sent to the world of swords and magic to continue living as a monster. I didn't think I'd have to think about words like radiation and nuclear fusion now.

If so, there is one thing that worries .

"Goubayashi, have you ever seen Godzilla?

No.

'I haven't seen them all either. One of them is about Godzilla losing control of the energy in his body and going out of control and, well, he's going to have a ltdown.

"Hmm.

Behind him, Kenzaki was hanging a warning to the legion of dead spirits. Kyousuke listened to it sowhere in the distance as he spoke about his own concerns.

''You're concerned that Hino... well, you're concerned about having a ltdown?''

Yeah. I also lost my ability when Washio died and my mind was in turmoil. Ei, it's fine if you just can't use it, but it's not safe if you lose control of it.

At the very least, the current situation does not seem ideal for Ei's spirit. More than anything else, the fact that a large amount of radiation was leaking is proof of that. At least when he had been spotted in the mountains of the Beast King mountain range before, there was no sign of such a thing.

Kyousuke hadn't seen that movie in the movie theater either. He only rembered seeing it at Ei's house when he was a child.

It was a situation where a ltdown would blow up everything in Tokyo or Kanto or Japan or Asia, but in the end, it didn't happen, but how did the movie end? I rember that humanity was shooting freezing bullets or sothing to calm down the red-hot monster king, but the hot blooded freezing bullets of the second year and four classes are currently in the hands of the blood clan.

''........Utsurogi, what were you guys going to do now?''

'In the anti, my original plan was to head north and continue scouting for undead monsters, but...'

North of the marshlands lies a large dungeon called the "Warriors' Tomb". This is the land of the most belligerent cultures on the continent, where the souls of warriors who have been fighting since the beginning of ti are said to be buried in these graves. It is said that even after death, corpses motivated by this impulse roam the area.

There is also a royal tomb in the lower levels, where the corpses, buried in a special burial form, have taken root as mammies and pharaohs. One of the goals was to add them to the group. But

'Now that our objectives are in place, I propose that we turn back. I've been thinking about Hino's ability, but I haven't taken the risk of a ltdown into account.

'But it's my imagination. There's no evidence for it or anything.

"Say so, but it's too late for that.

Goubayashi's voice sounded sowhat admonishing, rather than impatient.

''Utsurogi, you are the one who is most concerned about the matter of Hino. If you have concerns, even in your fantasies, you'd better go back.''

All right. But...

Kyousuke sighed and looked at the coffin sitting on the back of the carriage.

''Mm?''

'No, I'll talk it over with the guys. I'll just go back and ask if it's okay if I go back and you guys keep heading north.

'I see. I'll let you be the judge of that.

Yeah. As it is, I don't really know what I'm bringing Harao here for.

Fortunately, the forces are in place. From the looks of it, the undead monsters were obedient to what Kenzaki said. Kenzaki was Kenzaki, and he seed to be able to understand the emotions of the monsters who couldn't speak human language. Could this also be the effect of Kenzaki's Phase 2 ability 《Mind's Eye》?

For now, Goubayashi's communication was cut off to this point. There was almost no hindrance to the conversation, but it seed that if we went northward from here, the communication would be restricted as well.

'That's it! A sagging dress is a sagging spirit! As long as I'm standing over you guys, I'm not going to allow any slack, so keep that in mind!

There aren't many girls with clothes on...

Rin is poking at Kenzaki, who is dripping with super old-fashioned fumigation, in a whisper.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a good idea of what to do. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Hey, Rin!

I think it's the Public Safety Commission.

'No, but then I'd be the chairman of the public morals committee, which would complicate things...'

Then how about "The League of Specially Organized Public Safety Commissioners," or "Tokuburen," for short? How about "Tokuburen," or "Tokuburen" for short?

'That's good. I'll take that one.

It seed that the na was set in stone, too.

Only four days left until the core ltdown

After a detailed discussion, it was decided that Kenzaki, accompanied by Tokufuren (seriously, that's what they nad him, apparently), would head north, while Kyousuke would turn back to the south. Naturally, Harao was trailing along on the journey north, while Rin returned to the base with Kyousuke.

It was decided that the behemoth that was towing the cart would beco Kyousuke's legs as it was. The main reason is because the communication tomatoes would not function properly if they were taken any further north. Instead, the zombie giants who had joined us in the marshlands were going to pull the cart. Well, as long as they were taking the infantry with them, their marching speed would be relaxed.

Most of the food was left with Kenzaki and the others. It's only natural since we have so to feed the dead soldiers. Perhaps because they had been advancing while hunting in the jungle at the passing point, there seed to be so leeway in the logistics.

Koganei, a military geek, had told many tis that we shouldn't underestimate the food situation on the march, so I told Kenzaki exactly the sa thing. I told him to turn back if it looks like there will be no more room for food, and Kenzaki, who is not good at math, was sweating coldly with his arms crossed, but I heard a reliable voice saying 'Leave it to ' from inside the coffin, so I decided to leave that to him.

Anyway, here Kyousuke and Rin parted ways with Kenzaki and the others. Kenzaki, Harao, and the coalition of specially organized windbreakers full of dead spirits, drawn by them, started to head northward to the warriors' graves with great enthusiasm.

'It's roughly four days to the base, or three if we hurry...'

Rin muttered as she stuck to Kyousuke's body. It's been a long ti since I've had this feeling.

Yeah. No detours, just go straight ahead. ...please.

The last words were directed at Behemoth. Behemoth, with a tomato on his head, responded to Kyousuke's words and began to slowly descend south through the marsh.

'Hino-kun, you know where you are, don't you?'

'Yeah. I don't know what they're after, but they're sowhere in the Kingdom of Verneus, and their location itself seems to be tracked accurately.

Beside Ei is lodious Killer, one of the Imperial Clockwork Alliance (Dial Knights), the "Dark Beast Hero". Although she looks like a girl who is only a little over 10 years old, she has proven herself to be a formidable fighter. She has information that the miasma (the miasma) she emits causes demons to beco violent.

The combination of Ei, who emits radiation, and lodious, who emits miasma, is vicious. However, we can't leave them alone. Even if the situation is unfavorable, we have no choice but to go and clash with them. In any case, we can't leave Ei alone.

As far as we trust the information brought to us by Giant Mama, Ei and the others are looking for our location. If the location of their base is found, it will be troubleso later on, so in that sense, it would be ideal to strike out.

''Kyousuke-kun, you seem anxious.

Rin's voice, which asks this while still attached to her body, is itself cheerful in spite of her words.

'You're not sure you can bring Hino-kun back?'

I'm not so sure. To be honest, I'm not really sure.

Finding Ei's whereabouts and bringing him back is Kyousuke's most recent goal. After that, it's ti to negotiate with the Empire. I can't let him alone be reckless any longer.

'I've never had a fight with Ei before, you know?

'Oh, really? I imagine you do that rather often.

'Oh, no.... I think it happened once. When I hit Koganei, after that ... well, it was a bit of a fight atmosphere.

Yeah, but that's about it. But that's about it.

Kyousuke would often be reckless and Ei would bla him for it. That in itself was a common occurrence, but it rarely got to the point of a fight. Kyousuke respected Ei's words, and more than that, Ei has ultimately accepted Kyousuke's recklessness. I think he often ca to the decision with a nay-say attitude.

'We've known each other for a long ti, right? Seventeen years already?''

We've been together since we were born, so yeah.

We've been together ever since I can rember. Ever since those days, Ei loved tokusatsu (special effects) superhero shows, and in kindergarten, he would often join in on the playground gas.

"Kyosuke, you're Red, and I'm Blue. You're Red, I'm Blue.

"Kyosuke, you'll be the rider. I'll be the police.

It's been that way since then.

So, Kyousuke basically fights the kid who plays the monster and loses once (that much was factored in), but then Ei reprimands him for his recklessness. The casting itself was in line with Ei's wishes, which in hindsight seems pretty unreasonable, but the usual storyline was that Kyousuke would smile back at Ei and bump into the kid who played the monster while being reckless again.

That in itself was a fun mory, and Ei was also happy with that way of playing.

At that point in ti, there may have already been a budding relationship that would lead to the relationship they had now.

But it was now that I think about it that clearly drove a wedge.

'Kyousuke-kun,'

Rin asked, sowhat hesitantly.

'I've heard from Hino-kun that you were involved in a fire, Kyousuke-kun. When I was a kid.

Yeah.

Kyousuke nodded.

'That's why I lost my parents.

That one incident left Kyousuke heartbroken. It was a hole that hadn't been plugged for a long ti. However, now that I think about it, the mories are fading and becoming fuzzy.

''I'm the one who started the fire, but... uh, well, yeah...''

'Oh, I'm sorry. I know you don't like that.

'Well, it's disgusting, but it's not sothing Rin would apologize for...'

My mory of the fire is vague. And that's as it should be. Kyousuke lost consciousness early in the smoke, and when he woke up, he was in a hospital bed.

If he had witnessed his parents being engulfed in fire right in front of him, the scars would have erged in a more obvious way. It was on the hospital bed, after all, that Kyousuke learned of his parents' deaths. The funeral was held, but he wasn't shown the inside of the coffin, and in the end, his parents were far away, with little realization of their deaths.

But as for the mont when the house was set on fire, and the trigger, Kyousuke rembers it well.

It was the utility lighter I used that set the house on fire.

As Hino-kun said, utility lighters are... what?

"Chuckaman.

Kyousuke replied, making a gesture of lighting up with a click.

'But Chakkaman is the na of a product. And I didn't use Chakkaman as a product, so the newspapers listed it as a utility lighter or a lighter with a long handle. Ei and I were both serious in so ways, so we decided to call them utility lighters, and so we did.

Well, that's not the point," continued Kyosuke.

''I've been forgetting why I brought out that lighter, but...''

Yes.

Rin's reply takes on a faintly grim air.

'I think the trigger was Ei. He didn't tell for a long ti, though.

ltdown in 3 days

By the ti they made it through the swamp and into the jungle, Kyousuke and the others were exposed to a squall. The rain changes the structure of the jungle and the earth is subrged, creating a different face. I had heard from the adventurer Lesbon that the puddles created by the sudden rains were an extrely dangerous sign that would greatly expand the habitat of the aquatic monsters that originally inhabited the rivers that flowed through the jungle.

While avoiding the puddles as much as possible, however, they couldn't go too far. The behemoth with Kyousuke and the others on board headed south in a sowhat hurried manner.

''That's not very good news.''

On our way through the jungle, we received such a ssage from our base of operations.

The fact that he took the trouble to contact at this ti ans that it must be news related to Ei. Kyousuke braced himself.

''It seems that two new mbers of the Imperial Clockwork Alliance (Dial Knights) have entered the Vernetus Kingdom. Including Hino, there are now four of them, and it seems that the gathering of four mbers of the Imperial Clockwork Alliance in one place is extrely unusual in itself.''

I think there were four of them when Kyousuke and the others encountered them at the Beast King mountain range. Was that an anomaly itself, he wondered now.

But Goubayashi's report didn't end there. It was not simply a matter of the enemy's strength being increased.

According to Goubayash's report, the alliance of the Imperial Clock Panel that ca to Vernetus was as follows.

The first seat at 1 o'clock is Anthroku, the "Silver Wolf Dragon".

At the seventh hour, Li Shenfu, the "God's Spear Giver".

All of them have been prominent in the Empire for a long ti, and Anslok, the Silver Wolf Dragon, has been in the seat of power since the founding of the Empire, and he is an old hand. The significance of this old dragon, who has strong connections to the Empire's aristocratic assembly and is trusted by the emperor, coming in person is said to be of great significance.

I thought that he knew a lot, but it seems that all of this information was brought to by Giant Mama. And here's the problem.

No matter how far out of the imperial domain of control the Vernetus Kingdom could be and maintain a hardline attitude, if four Imperial Clockwork Alliance gathered in the country, it was equivalent to having a blade at their throats. And one of them was an old man, the Silver Wolf Dragon, who could move the army of the Empire with a "dragon's voice". It would be difficult to forcefully push through the demands offered by them.

It ans that the Knights of the Vernetus Kingdom may be cooperating with them. With the cooperation of the state, if not actively, they can start searching for Kyousuke's 'base' in the na of a good cause.

''As expected, we may have taken it too long.

The slightest hint of regret was evident in Goubayashi's voice.

Giant Mama had returned to King's Landing. She had no choice but to do so. She was one of the strongest adventurers, but at the sa ti, she was a citizen of this Vernetus Kingdom, and her ho and sons were in King's Landing. If she took a direct position with the League of the Imperial Clockworkers, she could bring harm to those close to her.

This ant that in dealing with the four mbers of the Imperial Clockwork Alliance, Giant Mama would not be able to be counted on to help. The situation was extrely bad.

''It's a good thing we turned back early for now.

Kyousuke muttered.

'We need to strike out before they discover our base. After that, contacting Hino is the top priority. We'll wait for you guys to return first.''

Yeah, I'll try to be quick.

The squall that was shaking the jungle was not stopping, but gaining montum.

The core ltdown was only two days away
