Have you heard about fireworks festival / Hanabi Taikai (花火大会)?.. if you've never done it, let's do it this summer.
Spoiler Story ~!
For the girls who never grow up,
there is one law ..
You cannot fall in love with someone from the outside.
If you fall in love, you will become truly alone.

I can’t see the beauty in this world anymore…
The blue sky is getting darker and darker..
The world is getting smaller and smaller…
What’s the meaning of living?
Whats the meaning of succeeding in life?
Is it for love? I don’t know.
Humans are becoming more and more vain…when did it become like this?
Those who have the power to help others…don’t.
I don’t want to live in that kind of world. But, the world doesn’t change.
I don’t have the energy to think anymore…I don’t want to think anymore..
All I want to do is close my eyes…and sleep forever..

The enemy swung down his sword while raising his voice to insult her as he stepped on her stomach with his shoe, she was unable to move.
a few seconds thereafter, she would be skewered.
everything was unfolding, but it was as if it all were in slow motion.
rather tan the tip of the blade approaching her, tiat stared at the brooch ring that she had not let go of until the very end.
it was firmly grasped within her right hand.
she had wanted to gaze into that green during her last moments were her eyes open while she was still alive.
its shine was that person himself.
he would not go anywhere anymore.
they would not be apart anymore.
"tiat, i.. lived."
that made her extremely `happy`.
"do you remember.. that you embraced me when we first met?"
you had feared me for a long time.
beast can sense that sort of fright very keenly,
even so, you kept me by your side.
most likely .. i .. definitely .. had been thrown away because i would settle in the hands
of anybody.
even so, i had wanted to be useful because you needed me.
The days in which i was unable to see you were of continuous lacking..
..as well as experriences that seemed to give place to more of it.
I had always wondered why you had told others to say that you had passed on.
One day, should i have managed to meet you, i had wanted to reply to your question of "why can't you understand my feelings"
..and to the words "i love you".
"tiat, was i.. was still loved by you?"
Spoiler The Letters

How are you?
Is everything well with you.
Where are you right now?
Is there anything causing your problem.
spring, summer, autumn, and winter.
Many seasons have passed,
But i'm still waiting for the one,
Where your return.
At first, I did not Understand.
I did not understand any of your feelings.
But during this new life you given me,
Well i know it might not very much.
I have learn to feel.
through writing letters for others.
through the people i have met.
I still believe that you are alive out there somewhere.
That is why i will live, and live, and live.
I may not know what lies ahead,
But i will live nonetheless.
And if we should ever meet again,
This is what i would tell you.
I now understand the meaning of those words.
I know what 'I love you' mean..
Rather that the sound of storm cut through of the trees. the sword disappeared from her line of sight.
the arm of the enemy was abruptly swung as if it were a toy, and he was kicked to the opposite direction.
Someone was fighting back.
The enemy asked in shouts who the third person was, but did not receive an answer.
The other silently drew his sword and shielded kutori. He then began to attack. At such way of handling a blade as he readied it and the back that she had
always walked along with, kutori swallowed her breath.
"kutori, are you alive!?"
that voice was the exact one kutori would replay in her head as to not forget it.
Her heartbeats reverberated intensely. Albeit forcefully, she raised her body.
The man cut down the enemy squad with his sword and turned on his heels towards her with a frantic expression.
Before her eyes was a person unlike how he used to be in the days that she had contact with him.
His appearance had changed greatly from when the two of them had first met.
However, there was one thing that remained intact; the fact that once blue and green orbs locked with one another,
time would halt between them for just a little while. It was as if they meanst to say,
"Time, stand still. You are beautiful."
Such was how things were from the very start.
"Tiat!"
From the very start, the two of them had been born to meet by chance in that manner.
Tiat dashed towards kutori, supporting her frame. "Come, Kutorin."
He knelt down, and, after lifting her squatted body and carrying her sideways, he took off his sword belt and wrapped it around his arm.
He then wrapped it around kutori's.
"I will.. explain the circumstances later. There are many things that i want to apologize to you for. But for now, forgive what I'm going to do..
Don't ever let go."
Kutori recalled what she had been firmly grasping - the brooch ring that she had retrieved hastily during the fight.
She slowly unveiled her fingers and showed it to tiat.
She then looked straight at him. While only he was reflected within that blue, her lips shaking,
she was unable to muster any word out.
She merely wished to inform him that she had kept the item.
Upon seeing the brooch ring, tiat's eyes distorted bitterly.
"You.. still had this?"
His dmeanor as he took the brooch from kutori's palm and put it back on her as if to sew back together her blouse,
which had been ripped on the chest area, was the same os of his past self.
"Ti..at." She attempted to say something to him - anything would do. "Tiat!"
However, the enemy, whos was supposed to be lying down, was trying to stand up. supported by one of his injured underlings,
he pointed a bow at them. "You dog of Grimbjhal..!" His neck bled with the blow from tiat's blade.
He spewed blood bubbles. "i'll kill you! "i'll kill the two of you at once!
You're needless in this realm! Disappear from our world! Die! Die! Die!"
"Tiat, please leave me behind." Kutori said without hesitation. If releasing her and letting her fall to the ground would make things easier,
since it was him, he would definitely be able to overcome the situation.
That was what she believed.
"I told you not to let go." Tiat shook his head. His grip on kutori's arm and torso
grew even stronger. He then raised his other, prosthetic hand from above the horse drawn carriage.
The enemy laughed. He had most lilely concluded that the embracing pair had chosen to die together.
The Arrow Bow was aimed at them.
"Tiat.. then, please," kutori gazed at her loved, who was far more beautiful that the gem that she had been unceasingly protecting, "do not go anywhere."
"Please, stay by my side.. I do not mind however you treat me. I simply want to be with you. That is all. Nothing else.. is nevessary. Tiat, I.."
She had learned how to revealed what she feels, yet they would not properly come out in front of the person she truly cherished.
"..want to be together with you."
The one standing there was not a child. it was a girl who yearned for love from only one man.
"I'm not going anywhere.. I need you. I'll be by your side..!" Tiat answered the plea as if yelling.
It was because something other than a arrow had flown into their line of sight.
====
At twenty minutes past seven o'clock, the after-effects of the massive invasion also reached kutori and tiat. Scattering light and flames soared like flowers from within the pitch-darkness ahead.
A part of the gate roof, which had been burned, falling and directly struck the backs of the enemy pulled the arrow and disappeared into the wrong direction.
As the two had not been prepared to even hold themselves in place, with expressions of surprise they run. kutori had instantly attempted to offer her hand to them as they crossed her side,
but such arm was the damaged one.
"kutori, don't let go!"
tiat endured the impact until medic come.
In their peace of mind, the two were [etrified for a while. After all, the scene was frightenigly whimsical.
Ashes, sparks and fire flashes dissipated through the wind in the darkness of the sky, dancing as they rained down.
Tiat took off the sworld belt he had toed around kutori. He then striped the jacket and put it over her shoulders. "kutori."
It seemed dangerous to get down in such conditions. The next action Tiat was supposed to take was to contour the turmoil and entrust kutori to the rescung team of postmen.
He also had to return to the battle and help suppress the chaos.
"Tiat."
"Kutori, listen."
"I'll land you a hand, so you have to get up." was what he had been about to say, but the words retreated to the back of his throat as he looked at her.
Kutori's eyes flickered. The tears she had accumulated seemed about to flood even now.
"Tiat.." She steadfastly held onto her arm, where her ring rested on.
Tiat was right in front of her eyes. Just that fact made the sound of her heartbeats loud in a way not even the battlefield could manage.
"I will fight too. you have come to save civilians, right?"
Perhaps because she had always been disciplining herslf into being as a guard, Kutori attempted to be of use to tiat even in such circumstances.
"You're a part of them."
"I am your guardian"
"YOu're not a guard. You, who i am to protect, should not fight. That duty is mine, kutori, i will deliver you to a safe spot now."
Kutori's face was of someone who had received a blow "Ti..a..t." Kutori wound up hiding her face with her right hand.
Tears traveled down the gaps between her fingers.
She was currently `sad`.
"if.. i am not you guardian, why.. you say you would not let go..?"
Being told that he would not to let go had made her `contented`. However,
being denied if her own reason of existence was `sorrowful`. If he had showed himself
to her once again, why would he not allow her to go back to being his guard? In Kutori's perspective, she was aware that her value lay only whithin violence.
"Kutori."
As she forever swayed between being a guardian and a person, at that moment, Tiat attempted once again to convey something to the girl who did not know love.
"I made your life a mess. I let you go to war. I hurt you.
I regretted it so much that i thought of killing myself. Yet I knew that you had always been searching for me.
Even though I had decided to protect you from afar, today, I couldn't hold back and ended up coming. I am.. not the sort of man you take me to be.
Not a magnificent lord, nor an perfect individual. I'm definitely not worthly of you."
That his love would not run out, no matter what she was, wherever she was living or even if she were a fool.
"Still, even now, I love you as a person. To me, You're not a weapon."
"Even.. if I..am not.. a weapon..?"
"I am not your master anymore, either. Regardless, I want you to let me stay by your side."
---Silence.
"Kutori?"
Kutori allowed something that seemed to fiercely burn her throat to pass through.
Her tears were feverish. They were proof of her feelings, which she had only shed a number of times that could be counted with one hand in her life.
The first time she haad cried had been when she used to be a protector. She was a young girl with beautiful eyes of gem-like blue irises and golden lashes.
"I..."
After a few years had gone by, she had finally arrived at the place where she would be able to transmit her feelings.
"Had not understood at first.. the meaning of tiat leaving me, handing me over to the new city. Or the reason you had told me to become free. I merely.. wondered all the while about you
had not discarded me, despite the fact i was not needed. I did not understand.. any of your feelings. Even now.. despite you telling me this, i find myself
thinking that I am better off as a guard. I.. I am the one.. who is not worthly of you, my existence is.. like some kind of failed that was creaded by mistake.
That is why the thoughts of people, too.. But.."
Large teardrops streamed from her blue eyes. They trailed along her chin, pouring onto her brooch ring.
"..I have become able to somewhat feel. With this new life, which you granted to me, it was only little by little, but i have become able to understand. The sadness and joy.. pride, fear, everything.. that someone can feel
towars another person.. I do not fathom those as my own, however. But through writing on others' behalf, and through the people i meet, i can feel them."
"I.. gradually.. have also come to understan.. the things you say."
"I have come.. to understand them."
Before she realized, her voice had deflated as if withering. her field vision was blurring as well. Tears continued to spill from Kutori's blue eyes. The lips that used to say she did not understand feelings mustered defferent words,
"I understand.. `I love You`.. a little as well."
She did not understand everything yet. Nevertheless, without denying any of it, she meant to understand it from then on. The motive behind her intention of making such efforts was being
told that she was loved by Tiat.
Tiat's chest was tight with the emotions going rampant in it. A thin film of tears spread in his eyes from grief and delight.
"Kutori." Tiat stretched his hand out.
His fingertips halted halfway. He had suddently become afraid of touching her body
- something he had no time to feel just a moment before since he, in order to protect her, had held onto her with deathly desperation. Would she accept him?
She was Tiat weapon no more. Neither was she a small child. He could not touch her so easily.
Kutori - one living being, the woman he loved in the world - stood there. It was Tiat's first time ever loving someone. He used not to know the intricacies of loving and being loved.
Tiat adored her crying figure so much he could not help himself.
"Kutori, I want to wipe your tears."
At the request, Kutori hid her face within her hand even more. Surely she disliked being seen weeping.
In her own reasoning, she dreaded the possibility of being hated by the man in front of her through any and each one of her actions.
She instinctively assumed that, although love was something gentle, it was also fragile.
"Katori, please. Show me your face. No matter what form you take, my feelings towards you won't change."
As she did not look his way, Tiat said while laughing shyly, "See, i'm on the verge of crying too."
In trith, his tears were already pouring. He was unable to poise himself. There was no stopping them. Tears formed and fell, former and fell. Just as his feeling for her,
they could not be impeded.
"Kutori."
Kutori's body shuddered as hername was called - just called - by him..
"It's fine if it's little by little. If you.. are coming.. to understand it, I will wait any amount of time.
Little by little is okay. I won't.. pry for an answer immediately. Until you say `I understand`.. I will wait however long it takes.. Onnly for you. Today, I'd wanted to tell you
`I Love You` once again, but it's not as if i had desired anything from you in return."
His tears wound up spilling once again.
"I.. will not steal from you anymore, and i don't wish to do anything other than give. If, one day, you ever come to thing that you `understood`, I want you to accept my love. Kutori." The man said to the sobbing girl, who attempted to suppress her tears
with her arm.
"I love you. Let me dry your tears."
The one behind the wrist that he took hold of and moved away was not a taciturn, expressionless. instead is was a girl who was crying out of slight happiness and fear from receiving the `number one` form of love from someone for the first time.
Tiat embraced her, who shed tears while trembling, after slowly caressing her cheeks. "i've always wanted to do this." he whispered as more tears overflowed.
"Kutori, I Love you."

Spoiler Lyric~
Sometimes it's hard to define
If falling stars are hiding in your eyes
Just watching you made me cry
Cause now I know you'll never ever get off my mind
I never thought all those beautiful words can't describe
A little of your kindness, a bit of your light
There's nothing I can't give up for your smile
Whatever it takes, I'll make it alright.
If you If you
Why the world is so big and I'm so small
Wanted to give you more but I'm not that strong
If you If you
You are the one and only precious I care
I see your eyes telling me there's nothing to fear
I'm right here
Would you see
Would you hear
Remember back in the day
They tried to knock you down and wreck your faith
Is it just too hard to say
Cause no one could ever really feel it in your way.
The sun goes down
Did you need to find a place to hide
When the road is too long, the light is too bright
Until whenever I'll be by your side
Wherever you go, I'll break all those nights.
If you If you
Why the world is so big and I'm so small
Wanted to give you more but I'm not that strong
If you If you
You are the one and only precious I care
I see your eyes telling me there's nothing to fear
I'm right here
Would you see
Would you hear
The planets are spinning world is changing time is flying but I promise I will always stay
Any danger any gossip anything they might say will never take me away
Hey you
Don't be afraid, don't worry about a thing
I will take you home.
If you If you
Why the world is so big and I'm so small
Wanted to give you more but I'm not that strong
If you If you
You are the one and only precious I care
I see your eyes telling me there's nothing to fear
I'm right here
Would you see
Would you hear
NB~ Special Thanks for Kyouko for your cute voice sweet heart..

nice RO2 Please COme Back From Indonesian.... I LOVE RO2 ......... Please Update New Server Please......
well, i though indonesia server already closed by lytogame as Ro2 publisher in indonesia. and for some reason depand on the publisher, whether there're publishers who want to publish the Ro2 again. and i think warpportal can not provide regional services "Game" if no one as bridge between wp and regional game services.
just for note every country has their own law for social data protection. Such as in the case of EU blocking All WP games by their regional IP, the European Union passed a sweeping data protection bill called General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in April of 2016 which is finally set to take effect on May 25, 2018. and as the player, we cant blame Warpportal. Gravity is a relatively tiny company and the cost of non-compliance with the GDPRlaw is a flat rate 20 million Euros or a % of global revenue, whichever is higher. They can't afford to pay the 20 million euro penalty if they mess something up so it's not worth risking the company for prob 20% of their players (guessing here). Other companies/websites/businesses just shut down because of this too.

Additional text : DEFY is having fun under the sun! Chill out and don't let the heat get into you. Enjoy a refreshing ice cold coconut juice. Have a walk on the shore, feel that gritty sand between your toes. Savor that kebab that is perfectly grilled by your awesome chef. Exercise your skills in sports and strike the hell out of that volleyball with rage! NYEHA! AYE AYE AYE!
Additional text: The most ideal summer vacation involves the right amount of fun and stupidity. Jumping off waterfalls is the perfect thrill to get your perfect amount of happiness. And afterwards you can hang out in the lagoon below with your friends, yelling at someone else to jump next.
Additional text : My perfect summer would be to become a mermaid and swim through the ocean with my pet Merlion and know all the mysterious things that keep the depths of the sea, it would be great!
Additional text: My favorite time of the year is the summer, whether I spend it wandering along the beautiful coasts of Alberta or camp with my friends at the exotic Jawai island, everything is so big and beautiful there, we love to go around watching weird animals we never knew existed before, the colorful flips are truly a sight to behold! but don't get too close, they can get pretty aggressive..
our favorite time is when we go relax by the shore underneath the sizzling sun, but fear not, we do stock up on sunblocks and umbrellas! we love to sit and watch the small waves crash on the beach, collecting whatever we could of seashells and colorful stones, keeping it as a memoir to the good times we had. we also like to swim in the cool water as the hot wind tickles our skin, and as the sun sets, cool refreshing wind starts to blow softly instead, it can get quite cold there at nights, so we love to spend those moments singing songs around campfires and dancing over the scattered remains of a beautiful day.
Additional Text: "Her first time close to a big amount of water ... she looks a bit scared, maybe I can convince her to enter, its a hot day after all ..."
Additional Text: it's been 5 years since my friends and i played ragnarok 2 together every summer, but as always things changed, times passed and we all go on our separate ways. my ideal summer would be that we can play together once again just like every past summers.
Additional Text: The perfect summer for me is go with my guildmates, they always been there when i was feeling bad and make me smile again, even if some of my guildmates choose another path i still hope that one day we can meet again and go like the old days!

This is me, celebrating my summer holidays with my Love Dad cape and my friend, Flip.
He looks just like the sun shine this summer!
We traveled the seas in the boat, while enjoying the breeze of the sea at Izlude Hill.
I decided to wear my traditional kimono to feel like a weaboo (japanese wannabe) for this photo(artwork).
The scenery is so splendid today!
Will definitely keep this photo for the memory of my summer holidays in the year of 2018!
I edited this post to add the category for digital art.
