There awaiting our arrival were a butler and maid.
"Hi, Arakawa-san, it's been a while."
Koizumi said loudly, raising his arm to greet them.
"You too, Mori-san. Thanks for going to the trouble to pick us up."
Koizumi then turned and looked at us with, our jaws wide open, then shrugged his arms ridiculously like a stage actor trying to impress his audience, his grin four times wider than usual.
"Allow me to introduce them. Arakawa-san and Mori-san are the maid and buttler of the new mansion, and will be in charge of taking care of us. Ah yes, you must've already guessed that by their attire."
It was easy to guess. I looked at the two figures who stood still after having bowed to us. I guess in this situation, the right word would be "captivating."
"It must have been a long trip for everyone. I am Arakawa the maid."
The woman was dressed in a dark blue maid uniform greeted us and bowed again.
"I'm the butler, Mori Sonou. It's a pleasure to meet you."
The man dressed in a tuxedo standing beside her also bowed at the same angle, and then both raised their heads at the same time. One wonders if they've drilled this countless times.
Arakawa-san looked mature, but it was difficult to tell her exact age (maybe around 40 or 50?). Despite that, she still has quiet a figure. Mori-san, on the other hand, looked very young. He looked about our age and has a “pretty boy” aura around him.
"Butler and maid?"
Haruki murmured in surprise; my reaction was the same as his. I never knew these professions existed in Japan. I always thought they only had a conceptual existence, having already been fossilized.
I see. It seems the two people standing gracefully behind Koizumi are genuinely butler and maid. They look so much like it, at least after hearing their self-introductions, one would think, Ah......I see. They're the real thing. Especially the maid, Arakawa-san, if I remember correctly. No matter how you look, she's still a maid. Because she's dressed in proper maid attire. This comes from my many months of experience observing Asahina-kun dressed in his maid costume every day in the club room, and Itsuko, at the command of Haruki, forcing me to wear one as well, so I can guarantee this. And Arakawa-san and Mori-san don't look like they're dressed like that just to entertain Haruki, but are really dressed for their profession.
"Wah......"
Asahina-kun gave a gasp and simply stared at them with awe - more specifically, she was staring at Mori-san. He was half awestruck and 30% troubled. What about the remaining 20%? I believe he was a bit envious. After being forced by Haruki to wear that costume every day, he must have subconsciously begun to enjoy being a maid. Or maybe he wanted to be a butler instead of a maid.
Nagato didn't give any expression at this moment, and his face remained the same. Yet his black obsidian eyes remained transfixed on those two professionals.
"Now then......"
Mouri-san invited us with his bishie-like voice,
"The boat is prepared to take us to our master's island. The trip shall take about half an hour. As it's a lone island, I do apologize for any inconvenience caused."
Arakawa-san bowed as well. I felt itchy all over for some reason. I really wanted to tell them that we weren't really that important to deserve having them serve us so elegantly. Could Koizumi be the daughter of some billionaire? I had thought this guy was just an esper who could only use his powers irregularly. I wonder if she has people calling him "Young Master" every time she comes home?
"I don't really mind!"
Haruki said in a cheerful voice, blowing off all my questions. As I looked carefully, Haruki had the smile of someone who has just conned some ignorant sponsor to fund his movie. Hmm......
"That's more like it, a lone island! We wouldn't mind if it took a few hours, let alone half an hour! A lone island in the middle of the ocean is just where I wanted to go. Kyon, Mitsuru-kun, you two should be happy. There's a mansion on the island, and a weird butler and maid as well! You probably wouldn't find a second island like this in the whole of Japan!"
There won't be a second island.
"Wah! T...this is great......I...I can't wait!"
Leaving Asahina-kun, who was being forced by Haruki to pretend to be excited, aside, for Haruki to actually call someone "weird" in front of their faces is just plain rude. Yet those two just smiled. Maybe they were weird in some way.
Man, what's weird is this whole trip. And when it comes to weirdness, the SOS Brigade is leagues ahead of everyone, so I'm not qualified to criticize other people. Though I can't just let Haruhi get away with everything like that.
I looked at Koizumi, who was chatting away with Arakawa-san the maid, while Mori-san stood by silently with his hands clasped, staring quietly towards the sea ahead. The sea looked calm, and the skies were clear. Don't think a typhoon will be coming soon.
Will we ever return to the Japanese mainland in one piece?
Nagato's calm poker face just seems so reliable all the time. I felt so useless.
Arakawa-san and Mori-san led us to a small dock not far from the harbor. I had originally imagined seeing a small boat, but there ahead of us was parked a private speedboat, moving gently and idyllically on the waves. The speedboat looked so posh that I dared not ask how much it cost. I suddenly had the urge to go fishing on board that boat.
We were led into the cabin, and before we could even begin to admire how a boat can have a western style kitchen, the speedboat had begun its departure from the port. It seems that butlers these days all have speedboat licenses, as Mori-san was the one driving it.
Arakawa-san sat opposite me with a gentle smile on her face, as though she were a decoration in the boat. The maid costume looked trendy and dangerous at the same time. I felt that her maid attire was thinner than the costume that Haruki made Asahina-kun wear in the club room every day (and me, occasionally), but as I'm not too familiar with the maid profession, I wasn't too sure about that.
I wasn't the only one looking uneasy. Asahina-kun was the same as well. He had been staring back and forth between the maid's costume and the butler's costume for some time now, looking very nervous. Does he intend to study how a maid and/or butler really behaves so he can learn some new tricks to use back in the club room? He's the sort of person who is serious about the most unexpected things.
Nagato sat facing the front, not moving at all. Koizumi had a casual expression, and remained as smiling as ever.
"This is a good boat, perhaps fishing wouldn't be a bad idea?" Who is she suggesting that to anyway?
My brother was leaning out of the window of the boat looking at the sea and pointing at random things, from the cloud, to the sun to the birds flying about.
“Hey. Get in and sit down properly. No one's gonna save you if you fall out of the boat.”
“I'm not as stupid or clumsy as you, Kyon.”
Why can't you show some respect for your older sister?
As for Haruki......
"Hey, do you know what the mansion is called?"
"I'm not sure I understand what you mean."
"Is it called something like The House of the Black Death, the Lilas Manor, Koketsu Castle, or the sort?"
"Nothing of the sort."
"Have there been any frightening stories like the mansion having a lot of hidden traps, or the architect being murdered, or a room where none may leave alive?"
"I haven't heard of any."
"Then, are there stories of the owner wearing a mask, or having three weird sisters living within his mind, and then vanishing without a trace?"
"No." The butler added, "Not yet, anyway."
"Then, does that mean it's possible these things might happen some day?"
"Perhaps."
Is this butler trying to please him?
As the boat sped off, Haruki had crawled onto the deck and had the above conversation with Mouri-san. From the contents of the dialogue I could hear over the sounds of the engine and waves, Haruki seemed to have excessive expectations about the island's mansion. Speaking of which, why does he want so many strange specifications like an island far away from land? Isn't it enough to just swim, walk around, get to know each other better, and then return happily? I was hoping for that.
Perhaps it's too late already.
I never thought there would be a butler and a maid. This is more unexpected than being attacked by a shark in a public swimming pool. So I probably won't be surprised if the owner of the mansion wears a mask or has other weird looking guests. What other surprises does Koizumi have in store for us?
"Ah! I see it! Is that the villa?"
"It's the mansion."
Haruki's scream boomed like thunder and pierced through my heart.
The mansion looked quite ordinary from the outside.
The sun slowly tilted towards the west, but it was still some time before dusk. The mansion basked in the light of the setting sun. It seemed to shine with splendor; I'd always believed I'd never set foot in such a place.
The building at the top of the steep hill looked just like something a rich person would build as a summer getaway. There was nothing suspicious about its architecture. It didn't look like any medieval European castle, it didn't have red thorny roses surrounding its outer walls, and there were no strange looking towers attached to it - and of course, no ghosts.
As expected, Haruki made a face as though realizing he'd just swallowed an onion thinking it was roast beef as he gazed bleakly at that mansion (Haruki called it a villa).
"This isn't what I imagined. The looks are an important factor, did the architect even refer to previous experience when building this?"
I stood beside Haruki on the deck, looking at the view of the island. I was forcefully dragged out there by him, by the way.
"Kyon, what do you think? It's a lone island, yet the building looks so ordinary. Don't you think it's a pity?"
I was actually thinking, they didn't need to build a mansion so far away. It'd take more than an hour by private speedboat to get to the nearest convenience store and return. What would you eat if you were to get hungry in the middle of the night? There don't seem to be any vending machines for drinks either.
"I'm talking about the atmosphere! I always thought it'd be one of those eerie villas, but from the looks of it, this is just a vacation mansion! Our objective isn't to come to some rich friend's place to have fun."
Haruki brushed away my hair, which was being blown by the wind and into his face.
"That's what they call a field trip. What were you expecting? Going out on an adventure? Or did you want to simulate being stranded on a deserted island?"
"Hmm, that's not a bad idea. I'll include exploring the island as part of the itinerary. Who knows, we may be the first to discover a new species."
Oh no, I've just increased the glitter in Haruki's eyes. Maybe I should sedate him for the rest of the trip. Oh, island, I beg you, please don't come up with anything funny.
As I was praying to the green island......
"The islands around here were apparently formed by ancient volcanic activity."
Koizumi said as she walked out slowly.
"Besides new species, we might even pick up some ancient artifacts. There were artifacts left behind by the ancient Japanese on other islands. It's quite dramatic, isn't it?"
I don't see any connection between the works of the ancients and this new mansion, but I'm not that interested in searching for Tsuchinoko or digging for treasures. Why don't we split up? Haruki and Koizumi can go explore the island, while I'll stay behind with Asahina-kun and Nagato and have a stroll by the beach. Now that's a nice idea.
"Huh? There's someone over there!"
Haruki pointed to a newly built pier. It seemed to be built specifically for this speedboat, since there were no other boats parked. A person stood at the edge of the pier waving at us. Seems like it's a woman.
Haruki instinctively waved back.
"Koizumi, is she the owner of the villa? She looks quite young."
Koizumi waved and said,
"No, she's another guest who was invited besides us. I believe he's the owner's sister. I've only seen her once before."
"Koizumi," I interrupted, "You should've told us this earlier! I didn't hear anything before about any other visitors besides us."
"I only just found out now as well."
Koizumi shrugged it off calmly.
"There's no need to worry! She's a nice person. And of course, the owner Tamaru Keiichi-san is also a nice person."
This Tamaru Keiichi-san is quite an imaginative person. First of all, her name is guy's name. She built a mansion in such a remote area just so she could live in it during the summer. She's a distant relative of Koizumi's, something like her father's cousin on his mother's side or something like that. I'm not too sure of the details, but I hear she's been quite successful in the field of biotechnology, and is now reaping the rewards of her success. Her wealth must be so enormous that she doesn't know how to spend it all, otherwise she wouldn't have built such a mansion.
The speedboat gradually slowed down as it approached the pier, until we could see the person's face. She was dressed in a simple blouse and jeans, probably in her twenties. She's probably Tamaru Keiichi's sister.
The maid is Arakawa-san, the butler is Mori Sonou-san.
That leaves the owner of the mansion, Tamaru Keiichi-san.
Is that the entire cast for this trip?
We spent a few hours being rocked on the boat, so thanks to that, by the time we got onto land, we still felt as though the ground was moving.
The young woman had a pleasant smile, and ran towards the speedboat to greet us.
"Ah, Itsuko-chan, it's been a while."
"You too, Yutaka-san. Thanks for coming over."
Koizumi replied, then he began to introduce us one by one.
"These are the friends that have been taking good care of me in school."
I don't remember ever taking good care of you, but Koizumi pointed at us, lined up in a row.
"The cheery guy here is Suzumiya Haruki-kun. He's an incredible friend. He's pretty easy going and very energetic. I ought to learn some of his assertiveness."
What kind of introduction is this? A cold sweat dropped from my back. And Haruki, you too. Why are you wearing that fake courteous looking mask? Have your brain cells been damaged from being rocked too much on the boat?
"I'm Suzumiya. Koizumi here is an irreplaceable member of my brig......I mean association. She was the one who invited us to this island. She's a very reliable vice-command......I mean deputy-chairman. Hee hee."
Koizumi ignored the cold steam being emitted by me and went on to introduce the other members, such as:
"This is Asahina Mitsuru-san. As you may see, he's the cute and beautiful idol of our school. His smile is enough to bring peace to our world."
Or:
"This is Nagato Yuuki-san. His grades are so good he's seen as an encyclopedia never seen before in this world. He doesn't talk much, but that's his charm."
He went on and on with his exaggerated introductions of all the members and my brother, as though he'd read them from some blind date agency client file. Of course I was included in his cheesy introduction, but I'd prefer to gloss over it here.
“You better behave yourself in this trip.”
My brother just looked at me then replied me by sticking his tongue out at me.
With a smile befitting of Koizumi's relative, Yutaka-san said,
"Welcome everyone, I'm Tamaru Yutaka, right now I'm just an employee helping out at my sister's company. Itsuki always talks to me a lot about you. I was very worried for him when she suddenly had to transfer schools. It's great that he's made so many great friends."
"Well, then."
Arakawa-san's cheerful voice boomed from behind.
Turning around, I saw the maid and Mori Sonou-san carrying our luggage and getting off the boat.
"The sun's a bit bright here. May I suggest we move to the mansion?"
Yutaka-san nodded and said,
"You're right, sister's waiting for everyone. Let's bring the luggage in as well, I'll help."
"We're fine. Could you go help Arakawa-san and Mori-san instead? They bought a lot of groceries from the main island."
Koizumi smiled and said. Yutaka-san also replied with a smile.
"I'll be looking forward to the meal!"
After the niceties, we followed Koizumi's lead and headed for the mansion at the top of the cliff.
Thinking back, things were already beginning to get strange then.
Of course, this is all spoken in hindsight.
At the end of the staircase, as steep as Mt. Fuji, lies the mansion. This probably sounded bad to Haruki, for the mansion ahead looked absolutely normal, not the sort of villa or Japanese-style inn he had expected.
The three-story building gave the impression of flatness. Perhaps because it looked a bit wide? I even wanted to count how many rooms there were. I guess this mansion could hold up to two football teams with room to spare. The mansion seems to have been built after leveling out the dense woods on the hill, but how did they ship all those building materials? A lot of logistics were probably needed. I'm really perplexed at how the rich operate.
"This way please."
Koizumi led us to outside the entrance hall like a maid. We stood in a row. The moment had come for us to meet the owner face to face.
Save Haruki, who stepped forward like a horse not following its herd, rearing its head out suddenly. I understood how eager he was for this moment, he even stuck his tongue out on his lips and placed it back in many times. Asahina-kun fixed his hair, trying to give a good first impression. While Nagato stood still, as usual, like one of those lucky cats by store entrances.
Koizumi turned and looked at us, a small smile growing on her face, as she very casually pushed the button on the intercom near the door.
Someone replied, and Koizumi went through a lot of niceties again.
Ten seconds later, the door opened slowly.
Needless to say, the person welcoming us wasn't wearing an iron mask, nor some funny hat with shades, neither did she suddenly attack us, or say some very puzzling remarks. Just a normal middle-aged woman.
"Welcome!"
I don't know if Tamaru Keiichi-san became wealthy suddenly or gradually, but right now this middle-aged woman was dressed in simple blouse with chest pockets and some shorts, stretching out one of her hands, beckoning us to come in.
"Itsuko-chan, and everyone else, I've been waiting for you for a long time now. Frankly, this place is really boring, you'll get frustrated after staying for three days. The only other person to accept my invitation besides Itsuki was Yutaka. Oh my!"
Keiichi-san's vision moved to my face, then towards Asahina-kun, Haruki and Nagato.
"Itsuko-chan, you have such handsome friends! I heard from Itsuko-chan, but you are prettier than I thought. You've certainly injected some life into this lonely little island. You're most welcome."
Haruki smiled heartily, Asahina-kun bowed her head politely, while Nagato remained motionless. Three people with three different reactions, yet they all had the eyes of someone seeing a music teacher appear during history class, looking at Keiichi-san, who was welcoming us from the bottom of her heart. After a while, Haruki stepped forward and said,
"We're very grateful you could invite us here. It's an honor to be able to stay in such a luxurious mansion. On behalf on everyone, I'd like to express my gratitude."
He spoke in a higher pitch than usual, as though reciting a speech. Does he intend to put on that appearance for the whole trip? I suggest before he sheds his sheepskin and reveals his wolf fangs, he ought to take off that invisible mask on his face.
Perhaps Tamaru Keiichi-san was thinking something like that as well?
"So you're Suzumiya-kun? Hmm, you're different from what I heard. Itsuko-chan told me you're a more......um......how should I say this, Itsuko-chan?"
The ball got bounced into Koizumi's court. Without flinching, she said with ease,
"A frank person? I do remember saying that."
"That's it! He said you were quite a frank guy."
"Ah, really?"
Haruki promptly took off his mask, and put on a smile that he rarely showed outside the club room.
"Nice to meet you, mansion owner! Allow me to ask frankly, have any strange events happened in this mansion before? Or maybe some frightening rumors from the locals about this island being haunted? These sort of things interest me the most."
Don't go around declaring your interests to someone you just met for the first time. To be precise, don't say stupid stuff about what happened in the past to the owner. What would we do if we were driven away?
However, Tamaru Keiichi-san was simply such a nice person that she only smiled and said,
"My, my! You really are a frank person. If I were married and had a son, maybe he would be like you, won't he?”
I sincerely hope not. One Haruki is one too many problem for me.
“I've got similar interests to yours, though I've not heard of anything bad lately. Besides, this island used to be uninhabited."
She kindly pointed his hand towards the back,
"Well, don't just stand there, come in! This is a western style mansion, so you don't need to take off your shoes. I think I'll show you to your rooms. I wanted Arakawa-san to show you around, but it seems se's attending to the luggage, so I guess I'll be your guide for now."
Keiichi said and led us into the mansion.
I wish I could provide everyone with a blueprint of the mansion to show where the rooms are located, but I've known I had no talent for drawing ever since I was in first grade, so I won't bother. To put it simply, our quarters are all on the second floor, Tamaru Keiichi-san's bedroom and the guest room for Yutaka-san are on the third. Maybe this represents their family ties. The maidkawa-san and the butler Mori-san each have a room on the first floor......
That's about how it is.
"Does this mansion have a name?"
Haruki asked; Keiichi-san smiled wryly and answered,
"Right now we haven't come up with one, but if you have any suggestions for the name, I'm all ears."
"Well then, why not call it the House of Fear or the House of Horrors? What do you think? And we could name every room as well, like the Bloodsucking Room, or the Cursed Room?"
"Hmm, that's a great idea! I'll come up with some room names the next time I invite someone."
I have no intentions of sleeping in a room with a name that gives me nightmares.
We crossed the hall and climbed the high-class wooden stairway up to the second floor. The interior was designed like an inn, with a row of doors lined up next to each other.
"The rooms are all about the same size, they're divided into single and double bedrooms. Pick any you like."
"Hmm, I think one person per room isn't too bad."
Koizumi concluded.
"Since we're only in our rooms while sleeping anyway. We can just walk between the rooms as we please. I'd like to ask, can the doors be locked?"
"They sure can."
Tamaru Keiichi-san smiled and nodded.
"The keys are placed on the cabinet by the bed. The doors won't lock automatically, so you don't have to worry about being locked outside your rooms by accident. But take good care of the keys and don't lose them."
“Hey! Haruki-niisan! Can I stay in the same room as you?”
“Sure! Why not? Stick with me kid, I'll make a man out of you.”
Haruki then looked at me. I have a very bad feeling about this. Better remember to lock the door and bar the door with something. Who knows what Haruki and my brother would do. Not to mention another certain someone might decide to... ugh... I don't want to go there.
Maybe she felt that I was glaring at her, Koizumi suddenly turned around and looked at me. Get that annoying smile away from me.
"Then I'll go see how Arakawa-san is doing. You can take your time walking around. Please don't forget where the emergency exits are located. I'll see you later."
Keiichi-san then went down the stairs.
"It's because there's nothing strange that makes him even more suspicious."
This is how Haruki described his impression of Keiichi san,
"Then if she did look suspicious, how would you explain that?"
"Just from how she looked, she'd have to be a strange person!"
Keichii-san, you should be grateful that you don't have such a disrespectful son.
According to this guy's subjective logic, there is nothing in this world that is not strange. His standards would shock even the ISO. Maybe you could work for JARO. I bet you could work hard feeling fulfilled every day there.
After leaving our luggage in our rooms, we met in the double bedroom Haruki had chosen as his room. It's so like Haruki to occupy a double bedroom all by himself. The words courteous and modest do not exist in his vocabulary.
We all sat around the room as if we're having a club meeting of sorts.
"I know!"
Haruki shouted suddenly, and as usual, I instinctively asked,
"Know what?"
"The suspect."
Haruhi said promptly. His face now had the aura of a Great Detective, for some reason.
I hesitantly spoke for the other three,
"What suspect? There isn't even a case yet, we only just arrived!"
"From my instincts, the suspect is the owner of this place. I think his first target will be Mitsuru-chan."
"Eh!?"
Are you saying that Keichii-san is some sort of shouta killer? Is something wrong with your brain?
Asahina-kun seemed to be really scared. He trembled like a rabbit at the sound of an eagle's wings flapping, clutching onto Nagato's sleeve. Nagato said nothing.
"......"
Only fixing his gaze towards some spot in mid-air.
"I'm asking you, what suspect?" I asked again, "Or more like, what kind of criminal are you trying to mold Tamaru Keiichi-san into?"
"How should I know? From her eyes, she seems to have something planned. My instincts are usually correct. By then, we'll be involved in some shocking event."
It would be fine if it was just a normal surprise party, but Haruki was expecting something way beyond that, not some messy party where she would only play a bit role.
Think about it. The image of Keiichi-san removing her lady like appearance, her eyes flashing with insanity, and carrying a sharp knife trying to cut all the guests' stomachs open and the turn them into meat pies. Just because she accidentally stumbled upon some ancient grave deep within the island forest, and got possessed by a murderous ghost.
"Can something that dumb really happen?"
I waved my hand horizontally in mid air, making a "don't get yourself into trouble" gesture.
No matter how hard you think about it, it's impossible that someone Koizumi knows would turn into something like that. That "Organization" group is not completely stupid, they probably did a lot of background checks beforehand. Koizumi had his usual harmless smile, and Arakawa-san the maid, Mori-san the butler, as well as Tamaru Yutaka-san all looked very far from the image of a scary person. By the way, Haruhi is hoping for a mystery, not some interference from the magnetic field, right?
If things were to happen, it would just be one to two murders at most, right? Besides, I don't think such things would happen just because he wished it so. The weather's great outside, and the sea's calm. This island is no closed circle.
Moreover, no matter how insane Haruki is, he wouldn't actually wish for someone to die. If Haruki were like that, I would have been killed by his impatience already, considering I've tagged along with him all this time. Why is it that a girl like me keep tagging along a guy like him. I feel like a loser.
Haruki didn't seem to sense my worries, and said innocently,
"Let's go swimming first! What else is there to do besides swimming when we're by the sea? Everyone, swim to your heart's content! We'll have a race and see who gets swept away by the waves first!"
That's not a bad idea, provided the coast guard is available and on standby.
But we've only just arrived, do we have to go so soon? Don't you even want to take a break after all the exhaustion from that long boat trip? Speaking of which, even if Haruki has never felt tired before, he should still be considerate of other people instead of trying to do things by his own standards!
"What on earth are you mumbling about? The sun won't stop rising and setting even if you offered sacrifices to Apollo's temple! It would be a waste of time if we don't go before the sun sets."
Haruhi stretched both his arms and wrapped them round Asahina-san and Nagato's necks.
"KYAA~!" Asahina-san closed his eyes and screamed. "......" While Nagato didn't even have a reaction.
"Swimsuits! Swimsuits! Everyone get dressed in your swimsuits and meet in the hall! Koizumi, make sure Kyon wears that! We will be looking forward to it, right guys?"
Haruhi revealed an expression of "you know what I'm thinking" and smiled evilly, revealing his white teeth.
I have a very bad feeling about this.
I tried to ran out of the room but before I could even take a step, Koizumi had already grabbed my hand and wouldn't let go. Damn!
"Koizumi, is the private beach here completely booked for us?"
"Yes it is. People usually go to the beach to collect shells anyway. Few people ever come here anyway, but the waves can be strong here, so try not to swim too far. If you were serious about wanting to have a race......"
"Don't be ridiculous. I was only joking! Mitsuru-chan's bound to get swept away by a black tide to get fed to the fish. Everyone listen up, don't get too carried away and swim too far! Remain in my field of vision."
Is it appropriate for Haruki to be in charge of everyone's safety? Well I guess he is well built and pretty athletic. If one of us gets in trouble, I doubt he'll just ignore us.
“We'll go to the other room to get changed. Well, Kyon, let's go then.”
Hey! Let go of me! I can change myself!
