Type-Moon, a human love simulator.

Chapter 106 Artemis, you are so generous (asking for monthly tickets)
"Suerlun... don't you approve of what those heroes did?"

Pallas sighed behind him, "You know, most of the heroes' adventures are guided by the goddess Athena. Are you blaming the goddess Athena?"

Don’t dare to say anything nonsense!
In the temple of Athena, Suerlun was not tired of talking about Athena. He shook his head and said a very classic cutting line: "Goddess Athena's original intention was good, but it was carried out wrongly by those bandit heroes."

The victims suffer, while the heroes bear the blame.

Athena's intentions were bad, but the robbers' execution was even worse.

Suerlun complained in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud.

To be honest, although Suren thought that Athena's original intention of guiding the bandit heroes to take risks was not good from the beginning, after all, Athena could not have been unaware that the so-called adventures of these so-called Greek heroes were actually burning, killing and looting.

But Surlun's initial impression of Athena was still very good and did not decrease because of this.

After all, Athena was simply assimilated into this environment, and she was merely responding to the requests of mortals.

How do gods know what mortals are thinking? Is it the gods' fault if they respond to mortals?

All I can say is that this is a confusing account that no one can sort out.

"Humph~"

A very light snort came from behind, and Surlun did not look back. He walked out of the Temple of Athena safely. It seemed that the Holy Cutter just now worked, and Athena did not blame him.

"Let's go to Hera's temple!"

After walking out of the Temple of Athena, Suren took a look at the magnificent Temple of Athena and thought that Athena was really a big shot. In the city-state of Athens, the temple of Athena could rival that of Zeus.

Fortunately, the Athens temple of Hera is also easy to find. Although the Athens temples of other main gods of Olympus are a bit smaller, they are not completely non-existent.

In other words, almost every city-state has temples of the twelve main gods, but the specifications are slightly different.

However, compared with the flow of people and the scale of worship at the Temple of Athena, the Temple of Hera is a little less. After all, this is Athena's base.

The thunder just now seemed to have played a significant role. One could clearly see many priests in togas carrying offerings back and forth, looking very busy.

Suerlun hesitated for a moment, thinking that if he went now, he might not be able to see Hera...

Why not go to Hestia first?

Before he could make up his mind, a mature and elegant voice sounded in his ears: "Beautiful young man, why do you stop here instead of entering Hera's temple and sincerely praying for the goddess' blessing?"

"Do you also think that Hera values ​​those worldly treasures more than the sincerity of a believer?"

Ha people, don’t dare to answer randomly!

Suerlun cleared his throat, knowing that it was time for him to perform again. He turned around and looked at the little priest who suddenly appeared behind him... Big sister, you priests just like to appear from behind people, so annoying!

"Of course not. I believe that Goddess Hera must attach great importance to every believer."

Suerlun first expressed his affirmation clearly, and then said solemnly: "However, seeing that the priests here are so busy, I really can't disturb them rashly. I can only come to worship Hera another day."

The mature sister's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at the priests coming in and out, and no one knew what she was thinking...

I don’t see you guys so busy on weekdays!
Appearing behind Surlun was a mature, elegant, plump and beautiful elder sister. This mature and beautiful sister had an exceptionally beautiful face and a pair of bright and insightful eyes. Her arms, which could not be covered by the thick and wide toga, were as white as lilies.

Her golden hair was tied back and she was dressed like a married woman with a gauze veil over her head.

Very consistent with the identity of Hera's priest.

Athena is the patron saint of unmarried girls, so her priests are unmarried virgins, and Hera is the patron saint of married women and marriage, so it is reasonable that her priests are married women.

Judging from the beauty alone, the woman in front of him was no worse than the girl Pallas just now. Surren was already used to it. He nodded slightly and said, "Hello, beautiful lady. I have yet to ask you..."

"My name is Juno." Juno's demeanor was elegant and calm, revealing the maturity of a married woman. She turned around and said, "Come with me. Whether others are busy or not is not a reason for you not to worship the gods."

"If you are willing to worship Hera at this time, Hera will definitely be very happy."

"On the contrary, if you leave, Hera might be very angry..."

"..."

Now that you say that, how can I refuse?
If I turned around and left without giving you face, wouldn't you go crazy and say bad things about me in front of Hera?

None of you priests have good intentions. It seems like you all get along well with your own gods, huh?
The same thing happened with Pallas before. He looked young, but he was very cunning. What he said was true but false, and the truth was hidden in the false. It was obvious that he had inherited the true teachings of the goddess of wisdom.

The same may be true for the older sister priestess named Juno. If Hera hears the gossip behind her back, it will probably be another disaster.

"But... Juno?" Suer Lun frowned and thought, "Why does this name sound more and more familiar? It seems to be a name of the same style as Cynthia, but I can't remember where I heard it from."

There is too much knowledge in Suerlun's head. He can even memorize Ji Xiao's new book. The unimportant things are automatically forgotten and thrown aside to make room for more important memories.

If it was Jupiter or Mars, then Suren would definitely know who it was, but... Juno?
While thinking, Suren did not slow down. He followed Juno closely into Hera's temple and walked into Hera's temple unimpeded.

What appeared in front of Suren was the most magnificent Temple of Hera in the entire temple. In the center of the spacious yet not plain hall stood a majestic statue of a goddess. She wore a crown on her head, held a scepter in her hand, and had a majestic look on her face.

Suerlun did not take a close look at the sculpture. After all, it was carved out of stone. How much could this thing resemble its original owner?
Now that he had been forced to do this, Suren no longer cared about the fact that he had no sacrifice. After all, he had already said it. He had just praised Hera's noble character, but now you don't dare to come in and talk to Hera?
Suren gritted his teeth and, worried about Hera, put his hands together and said, "Hera, the Queen of Heaven, Hera with golden shoes, Hera the goddess with white arms, Hera the goddess of the golden throne..."

"Suerlun is willing to swear to you that he will be loyal to love and marriage in the future, and be a perfect husband and a true pure love warrior!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire temple was silent for a moment. Then, there was a loud thunder, and all the candles in the temple were lit. The temple, which was originally slightly shadowy, suddenly became as bright as day.

This……

What do you mean?
Hera...

"Hera heard your oath." The mature and elegant Juno smiled and said, "Congratulations, beautiful boy, you have successfully won Hera's favor. From now on, Hera's eyes will always be on you."

So cool?
Wasn't Hera's eyes always on Zeus?
This is, let me experience the treatment of a God King, right?
Suerlun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could live a stable life in the future and enjoy the abundance and prosperity of the Age of Gods without having to rush around for all kinds of troubles...

This is the life he has always dreamed of. He doesn't ask for much. It is enough as long as all men and women in the world can live a stable life.

Suerlun relaxed and said with a smile, "Doesn't this mean that the goddess Hera favors a pure love warrior like me who will be with one person for the rest of his life?"

"Yes."

Suren was joking, but Juno replied seriously: "Hera appreciates your pledge of pure love very much. She will give you the blessing you want and the protection you deserve."

"In the name of the Queen of Heaven, Hera will protect you in the future."

Ah this...

Suerlun didn't expect that the oath would have such a good effect.

He did not have the same naive ideas as his predecessors. Living in classical Greece during the Age of Gods, he did not want to have anything to do with God. He was just dreaming!

Since we can't get rid of the influence of gods, why not find the thickest thigh?
Classical Greece in the Age of Gods was still in a moral and philosophical barbarism, and people here were very open-minded about love and relationships between men and women. Therefore, Aphrodite is also the goddess of one-night stands, and one night of love is still love.

But as a god, she was responsible for guiding human civilization. Hera was in charge of the priesthood of "marriage", and thus brought the concept of marriage to mankind.

"I didn't expect that I could win the favor of the goddess without being unfaithful..." Suren sighed in his heart: "Pallas also said that the goddess Hera attaches great importance to pomp and circumstance. She is a goddess who is difficult to get along with."

These words cannot be said out loud. If Hera hears them, Pallas will probably be in trouble. After all, Hera is really narrow-minded.

"Juno, if it's so easy to get the goddess' blessing..." Suer Lun looked strange: "After so many years, I can't be the only one who has met this condition?"

"..."

Juno snorted coldly: "With that philandering God King representing all the men in Greece, they would naturally prefer to have relationships with multiple women rather than follow my... my Lord's concept of marriage."

"Besides, Suerlun, Hera values ​​you not only because you swore to be loyal to love."

A smile appeared on Juno's face: "And because you have brought new possibilities to Hera... Pure love is really a very good concept."

Pure love, purity of both man and woman, is a concept that simply does not exist in this age of gods, Greece.

The concept of pure love can be transformed into power and priesthood, and both Aphrodite and Hera can adapt to it.

However, pure love comes before pure love, and purity comes before love. Hera, who is in charge of fidelity and marriage, is more qualified than Aphrodite to turn pure love into her own power.

Otherwise, give pure love to Aphrodite... pure love, right?

"Ah?" Suerlun didn't know what happened yet, but he knew that Hera also benefited, so he relaxed more and said with a smile: "As long as the goddess likes it."

"Hera is really better than..."

Suren wanted to say that Hera was easier to talk to than Athena, but halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he was too complacent. How could he dare to say such reckless words?
So he quickly braked the car and kept silent.

"Oh? Suerlun, beautiful and brave boy, why don't you continue?"

Juno smiled, looked at Suren gracefully and said, "In this temple of Hera, who can do anything to you? Just say whatever you want to say."

Ah this...

You made me even more scared.

Suerlun was a little stiff, racking his brains to think of how to get around it.

"Juno, you still like to force others." A clear and tender girl's voice came: "Can't you see that he is in a difficult situation?"

"..."

Suren couldn't help but look at the hero who saved her from the fire and water, and she saw Pallas wearing an olive wreath. When Juno saw Pallas, her pretty face, which was originally smiling, became expressionless, and her white arms stretched out from her toga...

"Pallas, why are you here at Hera's temple when you're not presiding over the sacrifice at Athena's temple?"

Juno's expression was calm, but her words were as sharp as a knife: "You don't have to worry that I will say bad things about Athena. After all, I am not some people."

"Humph! That's not a bad thing!" Pallas was exposed for being a pedant behind people's backs, but he didn't refute or feel ashamed. Instead, he said confidently: "What I said is the truth. Hera just likes pomp and circumstance!"

Surren was a little surprised. He asked weakly, "Juno, the Temple of Athena is so far away from here, how did you hear it?"

"Oh, Hera told me." Juno lied without blushing and looked at Pallas again: "After all, God always wants to let believers know who the enemy is."

"Suerlun, tell me, is Hera a petty person?"

How could this kind of political correctness possibly stump Suren?

He immediately replied subconsciously: "Goddess Hera is not petty at all. She will respond to any request. She is a very generous goddess."

Pallas gnashed his teeth and said, "This Suerlun is so beautiful, why doesn't he have a brain?"

"He wanted to take an adventure, didn't he? I have already guided him on a perfect adventure, but you refused it yourself. You even dared to imply in front of Hera that I, Athena, am not as generous as Hera???"

"Who in all Greece doesn't know that Hera is the most petty? And I, Athena, am the most generous goddess!"

Athena felt like she was going to be pissed to death. Normally, who wouldn't be grateful for the help of the goddess Athena and fear the majesty of the queen of heaven Hera? How come in Surlun, Hera became the best goddess?
Although in fact the blessing given by Hera is indeed better...

Pallas said stiffly: "Really... you'd better think about it again?"

It was Juno's turn to rescue Surlen. She had a faint smile on her elegant and beautiful face, and looked extremely decent and graceful. "Palas, are you trying to threaten Surlen by saying this?"

Pallas: “?”

Suerlun waved his hand and said, "Goddess Athena is naturally generous. She responded to my prayer immediately. However, I didn't like the adventure that Goddess Athena arranged for me, so I refused it."

"This is my problem, not the goddess's problem."

"You...you know everything?"

Pallas Athena was shocked. When she heard Surlun's words, she thought Surlun had discovered her identity. She was shocked. Athena thought she acted well...

"Know what? The goddess' response to me?" Suer Lun said casually, "Isn't this simple? You told me to go to a certain treasure trove to find the treasure. This is obviously a revelation from the goddess Athena, right?"

"Isn't this what you priests do? To convey God's will to believers."

"Then may I ask why you don't enjoy the adventures the goddess has arranged for you?"

Pallas breathed a sigh of relief, regained his lively and playful appearance, and asked: "I must tell the goddess what the believers think in their hearts!"

"Eh, is that so?" Surren couldn't help but sighed: "Goddess Athena is really the most patient goddess towards her believers..."

Suren suddenly felt that this Age of Gods Greece was quite beautiful, as all the gods had such easygoing tempers.

"I think I have patience with you."

Juno said coldly from the side.

Suerlun pretended not to hear anything and expressed his own thoughts: "There are not so many reasons, but I don't like this kind of robbery. The adventure I imagine should be a happy and harmonious journey without any blood and sin." "I want to help others live and work in peace and avoid disasters, rather than plundering other people's wealth to show my merits."

"I see...Suerlun, you are really a unique person."

Pallas fell into deep thought. She knew why Hera liked him so much. It was not only because of Suren's beauty and his vow of loyalty to love, but also because of the possibilities in Suren.

Hera saw pure love in Suren, and Athena saw rationality and morality in Suren.

This child might really be able to bring a different path to the gods.

"I'm just an ordinary person." Suer Lun said calmly, "It's just that it has always been like this, is it right?"

"Then you know that all human behavior is guided by God."

Pallas smiled and said, "Do you still stick to your idea?"

"I still stick to my idea. Maybe it's not me, but God who needs to change." Surlun calmed down and said, "So, I rejected the adventure arranged by Goddess Athena because that's not what I want to do."

Because that's not what I want to do, so I don't do it.

Even so, it was the good intention of a god.

Although Surlun was afraid of offending the gods and would rather die than live, if the gods could not tolerate the true feelings of even a mortal, then given his temperament, he would definitely offend the gods in the future.

It makes no difference whether you offend someone early or late.

Pallas continued to ask: "Aren't you afraid of offending the gods? After all, there are still some very petty gods in Olympus!"

As he spoke, Pallas glanced at Juno inadvertently, and deliberately let Surren see it.

Suerlun expressed silence at the right time and never got involved in the war between women.

Juno sneered and said, "Talking and doing are two different standards and two different realms. With Suerlun's wisdom, he should be able to easily distinguish who is a person who speaks nicely and who is a person who works seriously."

Juno's words were a satire on Pallas, who said nice things but ended up getting nothing in return. Instead, it was Hera who was the first to clearly express her approval and blessing to Suren.

Suer Lun felt dizzy after listening to this. The war between women was really terrifying. He rubbed his temple and said, "I'm leaving now. See you two again in the future!"

"Where else are you going?"

"I'll go find Hestia." Suren said with a smile, "I've thought about it carefully. How could someone who is loyal to love ignore his family? Since I've sworn to Hera that I'll be a pure love warrior..."

"Then I might as well go meet Hestia and swear to be a good family man, and see if I can get another blessing."

Surren did not hide his thoughts at all. Pallas had known about Surren's ambitions for a long time, so he just said with admiration: "Surren, if you can still get Hestia's approval, then you will be an unprecedented lucky man blessed by the three goddesses."

"Before you, no one has ever been able to receive such an honor and be favored by so many goddesses."

As for Artemis?
Naturally, Athena didn't take that naughty little sister seriously.

"Then I have made history, haven't I?"

Suren shrugged, not taking it seriously at all. Having gained Hera's approval so easily, Suren suddenly felt that his values, which were incompatible with those of Greek men of that era, might be favored by the goddess.

If this is the case with Hera, then it should be the same with Hestia, right?
"..." Pallas saw that Suerlun's mind had already expanded, but she did not give too many reminders. Instead, she said: "What a challenging achievement!"

"Suerlun, if you fail, remember to come to me. I, Pallas, will definitely help you achieve this achievement."

Juno continued to smile elegantly as a married woman, looked at Suren and said, "You can come and pray to Hera, because Hera values ​​you very much."

After Surlun left, Juno... no, Hera's smile faded. She looked at Athena and said, "You dare to break into my temple and compete with me for believers, Athena. I have to say that you are getting bolder and bolder."

Athena didn't care at all, which showed her absolute confidence in her strength. If it were Artemis, she would never dare to be so brave as to challenge Hera face to face.

Back then, Hera chased the mother of Artemis and Apollo around, which eventually led to the death of Leto.

Afterwards, Hera also persecuted Apollo and Artemis. As a result, these two siblings have become the twelve main gods until now. They have to look at Hera's face every day, but in the end they can only endure it. Their fists are not as big as hers, and their status and power are not as high as hers. What else can they do but endure it?
But Athena was different. Facing the cold and angry Hera, she was not afraid at all. She stretched out her slender little fingers to twist her golden hair and said lightly: "Hera, he... Suren is not your believer."

"It was Surlun who appeared in my temple first, and you were the one who came later. You should thank me for my magnanimity, Hera."

"Heh~ As expected of the goddess of wisdom, she has a tongue that can confuse right and wrong."

Hera sneered: "Since Surlun has received my highest blessing, I will protect him in the future. Athena, be careful!"

"Hera, I'm not Apollo, Ares or the others." Athena said calmly, "You can't scare me."

"Besides, Surren is going to seek Hestia's blessing. Do you still want to stop Hestia?"

Hestia is the chief goddess and Athena is the goddess of victory.

Both of them are capable of competing with Hera, the queen of heaven.

Although Hera was promised by Zeus in front of all the gods that she would share half of Zeus' divine power, she had the majesty to compete with Zeus. She was the only goddess among the goddesses who symbolized the scepter and the crown.

You must know that divine positions such as royal power are symbols of patriarchy and male power, and are often held by majestic male gods.

But Hera did not have the strength of Zeus after all; her power and glory came from her husband.

Zeus once wrestled with the Olympian gods to demonstrate his power and majesty, with the gods standing on one side and Zeus on the other, and in the end Zeus defeated the gods combined with one arm.

As the king of the gods of Olympus, Zeus possesses unrivaled power.

Hera's authority comes from the favor of her husband, the king of gods, not her own strength. Therefore, when facing the male god, she can still use Zeus's majesty to suppress him.

When facing Athena, Zeus' beloved daughter, Hera could not expect Zeus to help her punish Athena.

As for Hestia, this goddess of the hearth was very prestigious, and Hera also respected this eldest sister.

"This is a matter between you and me. What does it have to do with Hestia?" Hera snorted coldly. "You are good at diverting conflicts, Athena. You really spare no effort to use your remaining 'wisdom'?"

This is a mockery.

Why is it said that Athena, the goddess of wisdom, has only half the wisdom of Zeus?
Because Athena's mother, the previous goddess of wisdom, Metis, was prophesied to give birth to the fourth generation of gods, she was swallowed by Zeus.

The fourth generation god king Poros thus became the invisible god, and the former goddess of wisdom Metis turned into Zeus' brain and provided him with wisdom.

Later, because Athena kept stinging Zeus' head day and night, Zeus, who was suffering from unbearable headaches, asked Hephaestus, the god of forging, to split his head open. Athena, wearing armor and holding a spear, was born from Zeus' head and took away one third of Zeus' wisdom.

Therefore, Zeus only had two-thirds of Metis' wisdom, while Athena only had one-third of the wisdom of the previous goddess of wisdom, Metis.

"..."

As expected, Athena's pretty face turned expressionless. She stared at Hera coldly and said, "I saw Zeus turn into a white bull and carry a girl named Europa away."

"And the golden rain that day, the rain was transparent, this is the power of God." Athena said lightly: "Golden rain, who do you think can do this?"

"besides……"

"ENOUGH! ATHENA!!!"

Hera's expression showed obvious anger. She took a deep breath and said with a serious face: "Leave my temple."

What Athena talked about were basically all the idle stories of Zeus cheating on her. As Zeus' wife, how could Hera not be angry?

The goddess of marriage and fidelity...

It's like a joke that Hera is Zeus' seventh and last wife. Zeus did give Hera honors that were incomparable to his previous wives and promised that they would never divorce.

But this life of not getting divorced but having a bunch of illegitimate children with lovers...

However, Hera had no way to stop Zeus, because this was Zeus' way to avoid the curse of fate. As long as he kept having children, he would not be overthrown by his youngest son.

Uranus was overthrown by his youngest son Chloros, Chloros was overthrown by his youngest son Zeus, and if Zeus had a youngest son, he would also be overthrown by this youngest son.

This is fate.

Athena left the temple, and Hera stroked her chest and said to herself: "Sullen, will you be the one destined to be..."

"The Age of Gods is almost over..."
-
Athena walked in the city-state of Athens, and she was delighted to see that under her guidance, Athens had gradually become the richest and most prosperous city in Greece.

In the Age of Gods, gods were born with desires due to the faith of mankind. Gods possess wisdom and vision far beyond that of humans. Therefore, gods love humans and are willing to guide humans in the right direction.

This is the responsibility of God. The God believed in by people must also love mankind.

Among these gods, Athena is undoubtedly the most responsible one. Under Athena's careful care, the city-state of Athens gradually became the leader of all Greek city-states.

Only the Spartan city-state, which believed in Artemis and Apollo, could compare with Athens.

Every god has his or her own preferences, and Athena is one of those gods who likes to cultivate, no matter whether it is a hero or the forces under her command. Even for gods, these small objects she cultivates can be destroyed by a breath, but Athena still enjoys it.

Although Athena had touched a sore spot by Hera, she did not bear it and also poked Hera's lung. Although her mood was not good, it was not too bad either.

Athena never suffers!
If you have a grudge, take revenge on the spot!
At this time, Athena was thinking about how to guide Surren to a grand adventure.

Suerlun doesn't like the risk of burning, killing and looting other people's homes, but it's not that she doesn't have other adventure plans. She is the goddess of wisdom Athena, the guide of heroes. How can the person favored by her not become a great hero?

When Athena was thinking about how to customize an adventure trip that suits Surlen's preferences, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Pallas Athena, I need your help with something."

The handsome bard looked at the lively girl in front of him and asked politely, "With your wisdom, you will surely be able to help me."

"The King of the Silver Bow, Phoebus Apollo."

Athena also responded politely. Artemis and Apollo, brother and sister, usually do not have a strong presence in Mount Olympus, but they have a power that cannot be ignored, which is far beyond the reach of their younger brothers such as Ares and Hephaestus.

Although Apollo took the initiative to come to her and ask for her help, Athena still didn't say too much: "Please tell me what you are worried about, and I may be able to help you."

"Well, I recently discovered that my sister Artemis has fallen in love with a man."

Apollo had no intention of hiding anything for his good sister. He said bluntly, "Perhaps you have noticed something, Athena."

"..." Athena did not show any surprise, but said calmly: "You mean the forest outside Athens that was blocked by the goddess of hunting and prohibited any human or god from entering?"

"Because of Artemis's usual image, the gods thought that this willful goddess was just being petty again."

Athena smiled and said, "However, as the main god of Athens, it is not too much for me to understand the truth of the matter, right?"

Athena distanced herself from the matter right away, acting like a slippery old fox, highlighting her tactfulness in not offending anyone.

After hearing these smooth-talking words, Apollo had nothing to say, not to mention that he was here to beg for help. Even if he was not, he would have nothing to say.

"I am not here to question you, goddess of wisdom Athena." Apollo smiled bitterly and said, "I want you to think of a way to keep Artemis away from the man named 'Sullen'."

"Artemis is bound by an oath and must not lose her virginity."

"That's easy... What? Surren?"

Athena originally wanted to just casually say that she could just kill it and turn it into a monster, that's just the basic stuff of the Greek gods.

I was wondering when Apollo became such an indecisive and good-natured person. Based on his style, Artemis's lover should have ascended to heaven and turned into a constellation by now.

But when I heard Suerlun's name, I immediately understood.

It turned out to be him...

Yes, it should be him. Only a pure and beautiful person like Surren, a kind, brave and beautiful boy, can move Artemis and make Apollo unable to bear to take action.

Apollo continued, "So, I think if Suren is allowed to marry a wife, Artemis might give up."

Athena narrowed her amber eyes and said suddenly, "This is easy to handle. Leave it to me."

"Then I'm relieved!" Apollo showed a relieved expression: "If you are willing to lend a hand, Apollo will be grateful."

Athena's wisdom is well-known in Greece, and it is not limited to her wisdom in scientific inventions and creations, but also in various conspiracies and social conventions.

People in the Age of Gods don't know what emotional intelligence and IQ are. They classify them all as "wisdom."

There is little that Athena cannot accomplish when she wants to, because this is the embodiment of wisdom.

She always finds a way to achieve what she wants.

Athena smiled politely in return. Apollo disappeared tactfully. Athena narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought. No one knew what she was thinking about. Only a soft sigh could be heard...

"Artemis, you are so generous..."
