Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou (WN)

(What the heck, this is... what the heck, this is!!

Far rear of a massive crowd of tens of thousands of monsters attacking the town of Ur, Happy Shimizu, a boy who was moulting impromptu trenches and desperately shrinking himself with all the boundaries he could, was pampering his mouth like he had lost his words as he trembled in the tragedy before him. Repeat a sinister and unspoken vice to an unlikely sight, a reality you don't want to believe.

Yes, it was undisputed that he hung up a large group of demons, and Shimizu Happy, the student of his beloved son, who was missing. The covenant he entered into after a coincidence with a man set out to destroy the city of Ur for each of his loved ones. But towns and people who thought they could be easily twisted were still intact due to an awesome interception that they had not expected at all, and on the contrary, the current progression had created a hell of a picture for fresh water.

Duruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Duruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

Countless flashes of light sicken the sky with plenty of willingness to kill while sounding such a unique sound on the battlefield.

The flash, which reached its goal without a moment of spare time, turned the earth into a mere mass of flesh in an instant, regardless of the race, strength, of demons that progressed as they rattled and roared. Twelve thousand rounds of death per minute looms as a merciless "wall," penetrating the goal all the time saying that it's as warm as a whole in one shot, and piercing the dozens behind it together.

The dressed demons collapsed while blasting a large part of their flesh on the spot, ignoring also the laws of inertia. They were demons trying to escape the rays of death by scattering left and right, but there was no reason for the shooter's hajime to escape naturally, fanning away the Mezzera of the two gates. The unleashed "barrage" did not send any demons as if it were also a difficult walls there, and instantly built the Mount Corpse Blood River.

Furthermore, from the left-hand side of Hajime, Shea, who was in charge of Orkans, pulled the trigger all the time, "Fly as you please," releasing the rocket launcher continuously with the disgusting sound of Passu.

Behind that dumb sound, the warhead, pulling the tail of the spark and piercing it in the middle of a large crowd, caused a huge explosion and blew together the demons of the surrounding dozens of meters.

The demons, who were close to the blast site, were dusted with their flesh, and the demons who were away also scratched their bones and guts with shock waves. And he was crushed to death by subsequent demons, unable to stand up.

Even after all the bullets have been fired, Shea shoots them in succession by replacing the warheads deployed from Hajime and piled next to her. The rocket that was fired exploded with a time difference, similar to the grenades, when it reached the overhead of the demons, scattering massive flames that burned beneath their eyes.

Like the incendiary grenades, three thousand degrees Celsius of burning tar-like liquid extracted from the flam ore pours down on the demons like heavy rain, burning down their flesh. The more screaming and rumbling you get, the more flames of burning spread involving the demons around you. The demon in Shea's range would blast or return to ashes...... it was one in two.

It's Tio who lines up to Shea's left. Black polar light emits from the tip of both of its protruding hands while even scorching the ambient air. That's the brace released in that dragonized state. Apparently, he can even release it in human form. The blackflame of annihilation, which was a scuffle and forcefully defended, extinguished everything on the ray in the blink of an eye and penetrated the rear of a large crowd. Tio flattens his arm horizontally, and the black artillery that moves straight to the side along with it wipes out anything he touches.

After the shelling stops, there is nothing left but a determined earth. Instead, that blow must have drained him considerably. Tio breathed on his shoulders and fluttered his body. But when I drop one kiss on the ring that fits right into my finger, I stretch my spine again. They took out the magic that was stocked in the Demonic Crystal Ring they received from Hajime. With the blow of the brace, the demon front of the range for which Tio is in charge is vanished, and Tio, who has had some leeway, exercises a relatively small amount of magic with magic consumption.

"Blowing wind, burning red lotus running, storm, wind, dust."

Dare to chant and increase concentration in order to reduce magic consumption at all. The magic thus unleashed is a tornado of flames. Class F4 if its size is represented by the grade of tornado in the earth. A swirling flame of dozens of meters in diameter burst into the demon group, wrapping the surrounding demons together and winding them up. Demons who are thrown out into the universe and do not have a scratching rind are caught up in the flames themselves. And when he was thrown out of the Red Lotus tornado, it just turned to ashes and sprinkled like gray snow. The tornado, which ashes everything as it is, ravages the battlefield in full.

Yue's annihilation to the right of Hajime had jumped even further. Yue sits quietly in meditation, even as Hajime and the others begin their attack. Demons who realized the attack on the right was thin gather to escape the storm of destruction and pour out to attack from the right wing. Demons that are so dense that they are already likely to affect the march. And at the moment when his distance had finally cut off five hundred meters, Yue opened his eyes and raised his right hand. And, as a word, as a whisper, he uttered a powerful and magical name to proclaim to the world.

"" Seizure. "" This is how it works. "

It triggers divine magic. Magic "gravitational manipulation" interferes with one of the laws of the world given by Milady License. When it comes to magic, it takes a long "tattoo" to refine the magic and fix the image, using a naturally gifted blood-sucking princess, and instant activation is still difficult.

On the head of a demon looming at the same time as Yue's chant, the same swirling dark sphere emerges as we saw in the battle against the Black Dragon. But what's different than before is that the sphere changed its shape. The sphere, stretched thinly and thinly, forms a square of five hundred meters square over the heads of the demons. And the dark ceiling, which blocked the sun's rays, fell at once, after a moment, in the sight of the demons.

In the next moment, if we were to explain what happened in the slightest, it would be something called "every demon on earth has vanished." In fact, it only seemed so to the people of the town of Ur, who watched the ravages of the Hajime and the others from behind the wall.

Tane, who seemed so to them, is indeed an easy thing. The dark ceiling fell on a herd of demons and immersed each demon in the earth, creating a crater five hundred meters deep, ten meters in all directions.

The demons, who were advancing densely, were evenly crushed of all of their bodies without having time to understand what had happened, and became spots on the earth at the bottom of the earth. Its appearance is as if it were a demonic cadaver. With Yue's unleashed blow, nearly 2,000 demons were instantly crushed at a time, unluckily, and the demons who were on the boundaries of the operation were to be dimensioned and their organs scattered.

The succeeding demons fall into giant holes one after another because the ground ahead suddenly disappears. I couldn't turn it off to fix the impetus of the advance, and for the aftermath to push me in from behind. And instantly, thousands of demons fell into the Great Hole, and Yue interfered with gravity again using the magic removed from the Demonic Crystal Stone. We pile up more demonic bodies on top of demonic bodies.

A wind blowing into the earth carries the smell of demonic blood ravaged from the battlefield into the city. Intense smells continue to cause people who cannot contain nausea, but nevertheless sprang up into "overwhelming forces" and "ravaging plays" that do not seem real. Waaaaaa and cheer from all over town.

The town's heavy towns and escort knights remain flabbergasted as if they had been swallowed by the power of the Hajimes they saw for the first time. Once again, the students see the power, and have a painful and complex look at the "difference" with themselves. Originally supposed to protect people from such demonic threats, at least they were breathing like that initially, staring at the backs of their classmates who looked down on them as "incompetent" from the same place as the people in town as a protected side. It would also be a complicated mood.

Aiko was just praying. Hajime and the others are safe. At the same time, I felt the horror of what I had done and distorted my expression. The miserable battlefield in front of me felt as if I was beating my heart full of sweetness and contradiction with a gatun.

Eventually, Tio finally collapsed when the number of demons was visibly reduced and the northern horizon, which was hidden because of the dense masses, began to be visible. The magic of the magical crystal stone that was given to him was also exhausted, and he was unable to move due to his depletion of magic.

"Mmmm, the concubine seems to be this far... I can't get one fireball out anymore... sorry"

Tio's complexion, apologizing sorry for pointing only his face toward Hajime as he fell into depression, was turning white through the blue. Literally, you must have consumed your magic with the intention of exhausting your dying power.

"... enough. Don't make me a pervert. I'll take care of it. Stay asleep."

"... Your husband is sweet... I thought you'd curse me... no, but after the candy, there's a munchkin... can I hope?

"Keep dying."

Tio trembles like a dead man with a bloody complexion, freaking out at Hajime's words. He has a very satisfying look. Hajime returns her gaze to the herd of demons, tongue-in-cheek that she saw something unpleasant about the way it looked.

Did you already say that the number was eight to nine thousand divided by ten thousand? If you think of the first large group, it should be devastating enough to say so. But the demons are still making repeated swine rushes. Precisely, some demons seem to be giving orders to do so. The vast majority of demons are fully upholstered, and following the leader-like demons of the various races who are giving orders, they are advancing in confusion. The smaller number made Hajime realize that.

Hajime himself wondered whether Fumizu Shimizu was the culprit in this case, even if he had a cheat, and fulfilled it, something that could be controlled by brainwashing as if he had made such a large group of tigers. Apparently, however, we are not brainwashing all of the tens of thousands of demons, we are only brainwashing the leadership of each race, and the demons of their subordination take it as a way of making their leaders obey. Medium, efficient. However, the question remains as to whether this number can be collected in a short period of time…

Dare I say, leaving aside the questions around it, if there is a configuration of dull, monotonous leadership in motion and monstrous, but repeated hog rushes and hipster demons following orders, it would be reasonable to just tailor the leadership. That way, demons loyal to their instincts should flee back to the mountains of the north because they are carving into themselves the difference in strength from the Hajimes.

Hajime sees the annihilation weapon Mezzera at hand. They're both raising white smoke and they don't seem to be cooling in time. endurance limit. If you keep shooting any more, there 'll be rattles somewhere. Of course, even then, restoration is possible, but it doesn't go instantly on the spot just because things are delicate. Precision work needs to be carried out over time. That's what happened when it happened. It's troublesome, so it would be reasonable to switch the method of attack.

"Yue, what's the magic residue?

"... um, about two Demon Crystals left... more gravitational magic consumption than expected. Practice."

"No, no, you killed over 20,000 on your own, didn't you? Enough. I'll pinpoint the rest. I need backup."

"Huh."

Even in less hazy terms, Yue snorts with deliberate knowledge and immediacy. It's the breath of an amulet. Hajime speaks to Shea satisfied with it.

"Shea, do you understand the difference between demons?

"Yes. It's a demon like Mr. Tio when he was being manipulated and a snake-back demon, right?

"Heppy...... yeah, well, yeah. Probably the leader of a herd where Tiomodoki demons are brainwashed. That's all you have to do to get away with it."

"I see, I don't mind the remnants either, and you kill them directly!

"... ah, oh. I don't know what you did..."

"Naturally. Because I'm here for both of you."

Hajime returns some gentle grin while grinning bitterly at Shea, who smiles all the time at her. But in the next moment, when I tightened my expression and turned Mezerai into a "treasure trove," I pulled out Donner Shrak. At the same time, Shea also puts the Orcan down and puts her hands on Drücken on her back.

There are roughly a hundred demons that appear to be leaders. Perhaps if you let them storm and kill you instantly, you would lose control of the demons in your subdivision, leaving the majority behind.

Mezerai, Orcan, and Tio's magical attacks are gone and you think it's a chance, and the demons start to rush back to breathe.

Yue activated the magic to cover Hajime and Shea's assault.

"Thunder Dragon."

A thunderous dragon, violently sparking from the immediately-stomped dark clouds of heaven, emerges as the roar of lightning strikes, ravaging the front line from right to left. Seeing a crowd of demons that were destroyed as they jumped themselves into a golden dragon with a big mouth open, the subsequent demons stepped on two feet again. In that gap, Hajime and Shea storm into the herd at once.

Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan! Dopan!

Hajime fired a streak of Donner Shrak as he walked through the earth in a "shrinking land". Its eyes capture the appearance of a leader-like demon slightly visible from the gap of the herd, and the flash of death shot off reaches its goal as if to sew through that slight gap, relentlessly blasting the steeple.

The demons on the front line were blind, and for some reason the demons around them emerged in the strangeness with which all the leadership behind them exploded one after the other. And, inadvertently, a shadow casts over the head of a united demon. Dauntingly, in the eyes of the demon who looked up to heaven, the sight of a girl literally descending from the sky with a rabbit and a giant hammer on her shoulder jumped in.

The girl, Shea, stepped on the head of the demon, jumped over the head of the herd like a rabbit, and finally stepped in with the momentum to crush the head of the demon she had stepped on, lightening her own weight by gravitational magic and rising to heaven at once.

And when it goes up to the top of the sky, it flips around in the air, and this time it lifts its weight up to a few times at once and drops with fierce momentum. The target point is, of course, a place where a few leaders are solidified. The speed of the free fall is further accelerated by pulling Drücken's trigger and using a violent recoil to maximize the power of a single blow with maximum physical strengthening. And he waved down the hammer, which should also be called the dehumanization of destruction without losing any momentum at all.

"Riaaaaa!!!

Dogaaaaaa!!!

Its blow, carried out with a lovely roar, is still like a meteorite. The leader stature of the brutal-shaped demon, which was hit directly, was crushed head-to-head to the ground, causing flesh and blood to explode into a tremendous impact. The flesh returns to the earth with fertilizer in large quantities of earth and stones that have been blown away by the impact. And the end of the road was equally visited by the surrounding demons, which were dense. The overwhelming shock of Drücken and the scattered earthen stones blow the flesh and return to the earth as well.

At the bottom of a crater created by Shea herself, Drücken buried on the ground was used to pull through the violent recoil while at the same time traveling at high speeds, further attacking the leader and thought demons of each herd.

To the boulder, the demon doesn't seem as sweet as diving into the nostalgia and letting him like it, and tries to surround Shea with meat walls to crush her in numbers. Shea expanded Drücken's gimmick to stretch the pattern further by about a meter, and used the outburst to rotate fast like a solo. And blow together the impending wall of meat in Drücken with plenty of centrifugal power.

Countless bulltars dancing through the universe in radial form. A luxurious looking girl blows a demon as mildly as a ping-pong ball, boasting several times her own giant body. It's like a joke. Shea returned to her posture as she flowed from the rotating movement, into a stepping position to crush the target's leadership appearance from the gap between the blown brutals.

and, at that moment, the rabbit captures the sound of the newbie approaching at a higher speed than the right rear. Shea did not panic and tried to intercept Drücken by spinning her body at the best time. but the wolf-shaped demon with four red ball-like eyes on its rookie, black body hair, slowed sharply on the brink, as expected, letting Shea strike brilliantly.

If it's a normal demon, Theory would be the one who attacks where the weapon has been wielded to become a dead body. In fact, Shea, too, was going to concentrate her physical strengthening on her feet that the demon in front of her would do so, and she was going to cuddle her head up the moment she stepped in.

But Shea's predictions are betrayed. What a black four-eyed wolf flew to Drücken, not Shea, and sealed him with his tough jaw and full weight to press him to the ground. Of course, there is no such thing as Shea's body-enhanced strength as a demon. But still, there was no difference between being poked at the intention and being sealed of movement, even for a moment.

And for a black four-eyed wolf, that was enough. Because at the perfect time, the same demon from the rear of Shea opened a sharp fang-lined jaw gate and approached it right in front of her. Shea opened her eyes and applied them all over her body, unwrapping the physical strengthening that she had concentrated on her feet aggressively. That's because I was prepared to attack.

Ayah, at that moment when that sharp fang made Shea bloodwet, something broke between Shea and the Fourth Wolf. It was a metal cross with sixty centimetres vertical and forty centimetres horizontal and something like a round shield attached to the center. The cross is caught in the demon's jaw gate, stopping Shea from eating it.

A crucifix that makes a critical noise and tries to chew up foreign objects that demons have suddenly jumped desperately into, but glows light and red doesn't even freak out. And the next moment, with the roar, the demon's mandible blew up.

"Grrrrrr!!!

The crucifix, which moved without sound over the head of the screaming and groping demon, again spits out a bullet with the roar and crushes the demon's head. Furthermore...

Zdong!!

When I thought I heard the shooting, I lightened my hand holding Shea's Drücken. When Shea looked back at the four-eyed wolf who was temporarily sealing her partner, you were also being shot through and collapsed by two crosses floating in the air with your abdomen and head.

Don't be alarmed, Shea. In the demons, there are obviously the ones who move differently. It doesn't seem to be brainwashing dominated or some sort of demonic subordination. Keep three crossbits attached. Kill the twenty-seven bodies on the right. The front line will allow Yue to hold the next five minutes.

When Shea was caught conscious of her own pinch and taking it off, Hajime said, "Talk to me." Besides, Shea, who got me back, retightens her mind and replies through the calligraphy stone of the choker at the neck (Shea said no, not the "collar").

Copy that! And that helped. Thank you!

"Oh, be careful."

"... hehe, Mr. Hajime's attitude has been softening dong lately. That's one step to a fait accompli!

Shea muttered to herself like that, cheek-breaking at the "cross bit" that floated around her as if to protect herself when she confirmed that the communication was out. Then he regained his temper and set up Drücken, embarking on the annihilation of his leadership while paying attention to the earlier demons of different colors.

"Phew, as always, you're in danger somewhere, he..."

Hajime, whining about that, drives demons away with fierce momentum. Four crucifixes also float around Hajime.

"Cross-bit Hajime called the floating cross the attack specialist type that moves on the same principle as a drone. The interior is loaded with rifle bullets and shotguns, operated by a bracelet fitted with seven sensing stones. In addition, the ore covering the surface is given" Vajra "by generative magic, which also reacts to the magic of the sensitive stone and becomes a strong shield.

Hajime manipulates Donner Shrark endlessly in Gan-Kata, while using crossbits together for a stormy attack with no gaps. Already, nearly forty demons of leadership character have been slaughtered, and demons fleeing due to full "intimidation" have begun to emerge.

And I saw a figure at the edge of Hajime's sight calling something toward a demon fleeing in the distance. I only get my head out of the ground, so for a moment, I mistakenly see it as someone's neck, but I do see it moving in Hajime's "farsightedness." The head was covered with a black robe.

The man in the black robe, Shimizu, when summoned like a child with a seizure at the escaping demon, began to say something with the wand of an artifact conceded by the royal palace. Of course, Hajime fires the donner with one hassle and blows the wand out of the middle, as he has no step-in-law to wait for the chant to be completed. In the aftermath, fresh water that rubs and hits inside the hole in the ground and falls.

Then a black four-eyed werewolf-shaped demon popped up in unison, not knowing if fresh water had done anything, but patiently watched as he hid in the shadow of the herd and could make a definitive gap in the hajime. After all, they have incomparable potential and ability to collaborate with the demons around them. It reminds me of a two-tailed wolf.

In fact, Hajime felt that if he fought, he would have a good fight with the two-tailed wolf. Since it does not possess the intrinsic magic of manipulating lightning like a two-tailed wolf, it is inferior to the intrinsic magic of a stand-alone attack power, but sometimes it is as if it knew the location of Hajime's attack, so there is probably the intrinsic magic of the "first reading" system. And when it comes to collaboration, the level of tattering with the two-tailed wolf… that is, it is a demon that is not strange to be in Naruto, even if it is in the lower strata.

Why is such a monster here? There is a question, but now, more than being attacked, it's an extra thought. Hajime temporarily deflected consciousness from the demonic drive of the Leadership and concentrated on the destruction of twelve black four-eyed wolves.

Shoots Donner Shrark in a row as he rotates his body like a solo to a black four-eyed wolf that makes a corrugated attack from the front, back, left, right, and even up. Hajime will also shoot into the future position using "read first" to avoid the position. Still, I'm surprised that some individuals avoid it. Like the two-tailed wolf, there may be a telepathic way of communicating within his companions, with a somewhat overlooking view of the battlefield.

Scratching Hajime's shooting, he blows a four-eyed wolf stepping in from behind by poking a slight gap in the aerial reload, with one of the crossbits that let him unfold like a petal, while another four-eyed wolf stepping in with that demon as a stepping stone, shielded with an instantly moving crossbit, and exploded with a shotgun fired from the left elbow of his prosthetic hand.

As the rain of flesh pours, concentrated fire with two crossbits at the corner of the fourth wolf trying to besiege him, forcing him to open the siege, he moves to slip in with a "shrink," shooting the fourth wolf in the crossbit behind him, while slaughtering two more bodies as he passes through in Donner Shrek, which is finished reloading.

And the whole thing in it, it was abandoned from the beginning, hit by the demon that was shot out and blew it towards Hajime. Hajime fires more than below the flying demon as he dodges into the sidelines and blows the head of the fourth wolf driving behind it. While passive, a four-eyed wolf opens his big mouth and tries to chew up the hajime with his fangs, just saying he was waiting for this moment on Hajime, who rose up instantly. Perfect timing. From the side, it would undoubtedly have looked like the jaw gate of the fourth wolf had eaten on Hajime's body.

But at that moment, when Hajime's figure sways loosely, the Jaw Gate of the Fourth Wolf is nothing. Gatin 'in the sky! and made a noise and was closed. Hajime's body was at some point a step further. Hajime shoots through the abdomen of the four-eyed wolf with a shrug.

Furthermore, the four-eyed wolf jumps on the hazy, but for some reason it attacks a place that is one step out of step, just as it was earlier. Each time, Hajime definitely shoots in the wrong blow.

The black four-eyed wolf is absolutely right about a series of events as if they were missighted, which is the effect of Hajime's "Sign Blocking" Derivative Skills [+ Phantom Step]. The effect is that when blocking a sign, it leaves a pre-blocking sign in the original position for only a few seconds. Signs of the body are blocked, so sensibly I illusion myself to be in a place up to a moment ago. Of course, the signs are simply uneven, so if you observe carefully, it's relatively easy to break through, but it's hard inside not to be confused in a battle where a comma few seconds divides wins and losses. Especially since the better they are, the more sensitive they are to the signs, the more effective they are.

Naturally, for Hajime, who also uses "instant light" to handle cross-bits, it was natural that no matter how many black four-eyed wolves were demons with the power of the Nativity, they would still not be opponents. In the end, the four-eyed wolf, which should probably also be referred to as the trump card for fresh water, was to be annihilated in two parts of the thing, without even allowing Hajime to plunder the attack.

Hajime flies cross-bits to tailor his leadership with furious momentum. According to the information from the cross bit I put on Shea, who is at a remote location, it looks like we'll be done with a few more bodies over there. Nor does the demon on the front line, which was rushing toward the town, appear to have been sent by Yue's Thunderdragon at all.

Then within about two minutes, Hajime succeeded in banishing as many brainwashed demons as he had confirmed. And when I confirm that, I breathe heavily with Su and use "magic radiation" to roar all the way up to heaven and earth.

"Kaaaaaaaa!!!

Run around the battlefield with an oversized roar and magic wave. That overwhelming intimidation, above all, shocked and struck the spirit of the demons, causing them to feel a great deal of instinctive fear. And when we realized that the leader of our own flock no longer existed, after a period of rigidity, we retreated once again with the one, and finally began to make a desperate run for the north while turning our heels and bypassing Hajime.

The current, named the Demon Herd, escapes as if it were a rock all over the river, avoiding the hazy and splitting left and right. Hajime, who had confirmed the condition with sharp eyes, was distracted and discovered the appearance of fresh water measuring his escape across what was probably the last black four-eyed wolf.

Hajime pulls the trigger continuously as he stands on his knees and holds the donner steady with his hands. The bullet, which ran through the universe with an exquisite time lag, caught the first blow by the "first reading" of the black four-eyed wolf, who looked back chillingly, feeling disturbing signs, but with the second blow he caused that thigh to fall through the shooting ground. The shock also blows fresh water. The physical specs were high, so I got up right as I hit my body hard and started kicking it in the head as I rushed over to the black four-eyed wolf to call something.

Probably summoning you to just stand up or something like that somehow. It feels hysterical to see. Not to mention, I started chanting with my hand over the head of a laying black four-eyed wolf, trying to force it to move by implication or something.

Hajime lets go of the rail gun without question and stabs a stop at the black four-eyed wolf as he sees how it goes. Fresh water, which blew up again in the aftermath, moved his hands and feet, and now began to run north, as did the demons, whether they wanted to escape on their own.

Hajime catches up with fresh water instantly, accelerating at once when he takes out two magic powered wheels. Beautiful from behind! Fresh water, looking back at the unfamiliar sound of it, desperately moves his hands and feet to escape while seeing a motorcycle that should not exist in another world and giving him a ghoulish look.

"What the fuck! What the fuck! You can't be! If it's true, I'm the brave Guppe!?

Hajime beats the back of a desperate running fresh water with his prosthetic hand with two wheels of momentum intact. Fresh water dived from the face to the ground and slipped and stopped on the ground for about a few meters in a chachihoko position.

"Well, what's the teacher going to do? And this guy... and in some cases me..."

Hajime bracketed the wire out of his prosthetic hand in fresh water while he was alone in such a thing, and he returned straight to the town. The appearance of fresh water dragged on two wheels while the dust and demons of the desolate earth were painted on scattered flesh... seemed to me to have rightly said wrecked soldiers.
