[Gintama] Killing Knight

"Team one, what's the situation around? What's happening with the Celestial Beings and the Shogunate Army?"

"Report, there is nothing abnormal!"

"Continue to observe, and report any disturbances as soon as possible! The second team..."

Hikaru Sakata listened carefully to Shirai Kosuke's orderly instructions, and tilted her head, the surrounding terrain and mountains were reflected in her mind.

The task of the surprise raid team - ambush, break the rear.

In addition to them, the ghost army team directly led by Takasugi Shinsuke has been away as a pioneer for a long time. Counting the time, it should have arrived outside the valley.

Sakata Hikaru calculated the time, and estimated that it had reached the agreed point, so he ordered Shirai Kosuke to start the whole army sneaking.

There are many shadows in the trees, and the dense leaves and branches overlap and cast thick shadows on the serious-faced soldiers. Only occasionally, the sunlight will shine directly from the gaps between the leaves, jumping on the shoulders and heads of the people who are moving quickly and orderly.The mountain road under our feet was bumpy, and there were so many stones that it made people irritated. Fortunately, the weeds spread on the ground acted as a buffer, so that the warriors who were fully focused on the road would not fall into an imageless big horse.

As the captain of the team, Hikaru Sakata tried her best to walk on a concealed and steady path. The cluttered trees hindered her vision, but it did not prevent her from seeing the dangerous and narrow pass in the distance.

But when she saw the place near Taniguchi, Hikari Sakata's nerves suddenly stretched into a tight straight line, tearing and sending out a sharp alarm. The bad premonition that had been vaguely buried in her heart finally exploded into reality at this moment.

She stopped abruptly, swung her arm back cleanly, and stopped the march of the whole army.

—was ambushed.

"...The plan is like this," Gui Xiaotaro sorted out the results of the previous discussions, and after drawing for a long time on the paper, he began to summarize the outline of this operation, "In general, it can be divided into three groups. The number of people is the smallest, and the armed forces The weak medical team went all the way alone, and as a protection, the anti-barbarian army allocated a quarter of its troops to cover the medical team from the farthest and most detour route of the valley."

He drew a line again on that route, and after emphasizing it, he tapped the almost straight line with the tip of the pen again, the route that went directly through the valley, "This route is taken by the Ghost Soldier Squad." all the way."

Shinsuke Takasugi nodded, and took over Katsura Kotaro's words, "The Ghost Soldier Team is also divided into two groups. Hikari and I will lead a team respectively. I will lead the way as the vanguard. Hikari, you lead the surprise attack team to break the rear. If you encounter the enemy The army, please also come to carry out a flank ambush."

"no disagreement."

"Is it the team with me and the wig in the end?" Sakata Gintoki scratched the back of his head, looking quite headache, "Ah...I really miss that idiot Tatsuma."

Gui was upset when he heard the words, and angrily threw his pen on the table as a gesture of strike, "Really, if you like the classmate next door so much, you should be friends with the classmate next door, baga—!"

Hikaru Sakata: "..." Ah, it started again.

She took the road map that fell lightly in front of her, thought for a while and asked Shinsuke Takasugi directly, "Are you sure that the heavenly beings will definitely come to intercept this time?"

"Yes, although the actions of the shogunate army are yet to be discussed, but the information brought back by the spies says that the heavenly beings are indeed ready to move this time, and we don't know what their purpose is."

Hikaru Sakata was silent for a moment, staring at those few simple lines almost burning a hole out of them, the uneasy seeds in his heart began to sprout out of the wall of his heart, clamoring to grow dense vines, killing her It was so tight that it was almost impossible to breathe.

She asked again without giving up, "Are you sure? How many people are there? Are there any other actions? Is there any secret weapon?"

Takasugi Shinsuke believed in his intelligence source, "It is certain that the number of people has not changed, there is no new injection of troops, and there is no major sign of action. Everything is as usual, but the tactics may change."

"A change in tactics..." Sakata Hikaru unconsciously squeezed the edge of the paper with his fingers, leaving wrinkles.

During their discussion, Gintoki and the wig had quarreled for several rounds, and in the end Gintoki Sakata won a big victory, picking his nose triumphantly and sweeping over.

"What's the matter?" He didn't care very much, "The team with the wig and I have nearly three-quarters of the strength of the Yi army, and it is the road with the largest number of people and the strongest combat power. Wouldn't it be safe to attract the past?"

"It's not the wig, it's Katsura, we're the ones who are unsafe." Katsura retorted calmly, but immediately he nodded in agreement with Sakata Gintoki, "That's the truth."

On the battlefield, the ghost soldiers have always been used as side harassment and sneak attacks, as well as auxiliary rescue. They are extremely mobile troops. On the frontal battlefield, they are not incapable of fighting, but in this way they lose their biggest advantage, and the gains outweigh the losses .

Being elusive is the best synonym for the Ghost Soldier Team.

And the medical team can be said to be the foundation of their continuous combat. In addition to the medical team, there are also logistics personnel and some disabled members along the way. Those who have basically no combat power must be protected. Arranging them to go is the most difficult and most hidden. The way to do this is to take into account that even if the enemy's army knows their whereabouts, they will not be able to send a large-scale army to suppress them smoothly.

On a small scale, that quarter of the barbarian army is enough.

In this way, the remaining anti-barbarian army is the best choice for the frontal battlefield.

"Our route on the outskirts of the valley, if there is any unexpected situation, the ghost soldiers can also come to rescue immediately."

Gui asked Takasugi, nodded again after confirming the number of Tianren and the shogunate army, "If it is this kind of combat power, they will not be able to attack us, at most there will be casualties."

"It's really impossible to divide into three groups, but... what if they concentrate their firepower on one side?" Hikaru Sakata still couldn't ignore the anxiety in his heart, and could only try to think from the perspective of the enemy, "If they only attack one side..."

Gao Shan and Gui deduced along her train of thought, and finally came to a conclusion almost at the same time, "No problem."

"Xiaoguang, you don't need to worry too much. Now, even if the celestial beings want to make any big moves, it's too late. Our biggest enemy is the high-tech weapons in the hands of the celestial beings. If they don't have large-scale armaments, there is nothing to worry about. "

At least, this operation is nothing to worry about.

Of the three routes, the safest one is the one of the medical team. Because of the terrain, it is impossible for the enemy to march on a large scale. Even if there is an action, the ghost soldiers in the valley will detect it and go to rescue.If the enemy is attacking the Ghost Soldier, splitting the troops into two groups will also help to disperse the troops. It is very convenient whether it is retreating or returning for reinforcements.

If it was the anti-barbarians on the outskirts that were targeted... again, that bone is the hardest to crack. Apart from having the most troops, the titles of White Yaksha and Crazy Young Master are not groundless.It is unlikely that the enemy will focus on them for annihilation. Even if it does happen, the ghost soldiers can still go to the rescue at any time.

In addition, there is an advantage of the valley, the spaceship of the Celestial Beings cannot come, and the range of thermal weapons is limited due to the terrain and the cover of trees, so this operation is still very beneficial to them.

After the general analysis was completed, Hikaru Sakata was finally relieved, and joined the discussion on the details of this operation again.

... It's going to happen, the last one to lay down the gun is indeed the Ghost Soldier Squad.

Hikaru Sakata lamented this luck while secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

——It was the Raiders who were surrounded. Although I was a little sorry for her teammates, but on the other hand, it also meant that the rest of the people were safe, right?

However, Hikaru Sakata was a little surprised. As the vanguard, Jinsuke had already opened the way, but these days, no matter whether he had hidden it from his eyes, or the transfer was completed during the short gap when the two teams were advancing, the information contained in it was impressive. Quite startled.

Kind of, not so good.

Hikaru Sakata stabilized his mind, drew his sword out of its sheath, followed a few simple and quick instructions, and the blade cut a sharp trajectory, which meant concisely——

kill!

At the same time, the ghost soldiers.

Shinsuke Takasugi was waiting for the return of the scouts at the assembly point outside the valley, but there was no news from the three before and after, not to mention the raid team led by Hikaru Sakata, even they themselves had no faith.

He can't act rashly, until the information about the silver wig team comes——

"Deviated from the planned route?!"

Takasugi Shinsuke was furious, he understood the enemy's plan almost instantly, his heart sank, he left a small group of people behind, and led the rest to gallop back to help again.

Raiders are in danger!

As for the anti-barbarians who allegedly deviated from the planned route...

Sakata Gintoki chopped off the head of the enemy in front of him with a knife, and after the body fell to the ground, he swung the knife and threw off the blood-stained blade. Katsura took a few steps back and leaned back against Katsura Kotaro, who was panting slightly, "Hey, I said wig..."

"It's not the wig, it's Gui!" Gui also looked anxious, "I know what you want to say, Yinshi, we really fell for it."

Those attacks that seemed so powerful that they even thought that the enemy had listed them as the main attack target this time were just a cover!

When they discovered this, they had been delayed by the enemy for so long that they didn't even make it to half of the scheduled trip.And when they were delayed, it was self-evident what the enemy did.

"Everyone, attack with all your strength!"

valley.

In the depths of the woods, suddenly there was a rush of birdsong, and the fluttering sound of the chaotic and dense wings suddenly made a large area, forming a sound score that was neither harmonious nor pleasant.

Yi Chuanxue suddenly raised her head and looked in one direction.

"... Yi Chuan-san?" A junior assistant beside her looked at her timidly.

But before Yi Chuanxue could answer, the crowd behind her started to make noise, as if a large stone had been thrown into a pond, turbulent.

"Enemy attack—!"

This time the celestial beings are quite cunning.

It's not that the ghost soldiers at the pass they occupy don't know that there is such a number one...or on the contrary, there is a plan for the surprise attack team to use this section of easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain to break the rear.

Logically speaking, it is not impossible to do this quietly, but the probability is so small that it can be basically ignored. After all, it is difficult to accurately grasp the advance time of the two teams before and after the ghost army...even if there is an internal response. arrive.

But the current situation was indeed preempted by heaven and man. The surprise attack team was almost blocked inside the valley. If it weren't for Takasugi Shinsuke outside, they might have noticed the situation here and then returned to the front and back to attack. The surprise attack team was completely stuck in the valley. It's not impossible here either.

...Wait, there are still half of the ghost soldiers outside?

Something flashed in Hikaru Sakata's mind, and she couldn't grasp it so fast, especially in such a rapidly changing battlefield, she couldn't be distracted at all.

"Shirai!!"

Hikaru Sakata glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and at the same time he spoke a reminder, he rushed to Xiaosuke Shirai, who was obviously surrounded, and raised his knife to greet him when several air currents hissed through the air.

There were a few clangs, the blade collided with the bullet, and at the same time there was the sound of the bullet buried in the flesh. Sakata, who was directly pierced by the bullet with great momentum, directly pierced his left shoulder, his face remained unchanged, and he raised his left hand to grab the bullet in front of him. The long knife chopped down by the heavenly man, the sharp blade cut through the flesh and blood of the palm, but it was also stopped from the downward charge. She took advantage of this time to send the knife in her right hand forward, and solved it neatly. other side.

Xiaosuke Shirai was very anxious, but his skill points were all in his head. As far as force was concerned, his level could only be said to be average, and at this time, it was especially the one that was holding back... for Hikaru Sakata.

If his squad leader wanted to fight out, she would definitely not be able to do it with her strength, but she defended here tenaciously, protecting more teammates like protecting him just now.

Even though the result is that she is scarred and looks the worst among those who can still stand, but she is clearly the strongest person in the whole team.

Once again, he couldn't understand more clearly... the meaning of what his squad leader said.

That was the first time that the raid team was sent out to do a mission, because the existence of the internal response suffered a huge loss, and the remaining members were hardly half. When the surprise raid team faced such a blow, they took the initiative to stand up to protect them... As a girl, she is also the youngest captain.

Those who retreated early were led by him, and everyone thought that those who left behind were impossible to come back, including him.

Therefore, everyone was surprised and even shocked when they saw that although dozens of people had returned with injuries...not to mention how serious they were, they had indeed come back alive.

The price is... the near-death of those teammates and team leaders who never came back.

Dozens of elders with dragging bandages and even mutilated bodies insisted on standing in the squad leader's ward, silent.

They were the people who opposed her the loudest, and they were also the people who received her blessing the most on that battlefield.

——The rest of the teammates are not because she doesn't want to, but because they really don't have enough ability.

Everyone is a man who is worthy of his brothers and comrades-in-arms, otherwise he would not take the initiative to stand up in that situation, but the only one who is ashamed is the squad leader who is clearly innocent but has been angered by them to some extent.Until now, looking at the slender figure lying on the hospital bed, which is completely different from their burly or strong figure, I really understand...

She was only a child, only fifteen, and could even be the child of some of their daughters.

"Look up, why do you keep your heads down?"

Hikaru Sakata's voice was even a little confused, and the expression on her face was still not much. The little bit of leisure and bad character she once brought in the peaceful life in Edo was once again washed away by the bloody and cruel battlefield.

Shirai Kosuke couldn't wait at first, looked at the teammates who were still tense, and murmured, "Captain..."

His title seemed to irritate some people.

"team leader!"

"team leader!"

"team leader……"

Sakata Hikaru was so overwhelmed by the sudden large number of 'captains', he pursed his lips for a long time and looked at the men who looked at her with guilt, shaking his head in disapproval, "Are you doing this?" Are you guilty? But you have nothing to be sorry for me."

She affirmed her words again, "You didn't, and I also want to thank you for being willing to stay to protect our partners."

"But we..." They once questioned her, and even pushed the mistakes of internal response onto her who just came to the battlefield, let her face the pressure brought by those deaths alone, and finally asked her to be distracted to protect them.

"It is the captain's responsibility to protect you and let the comrades who follow the battle come back alive."

Hikaru Sakata lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the quilt, his fists hidden under the quilt were clenched quietly, and the bandaged wound on his body tended to burst, "I'm the one who should say I'm sorry... I am not a good person. Captain, you are new here and don't understand anything, so you said that as long as Jin Zhu is willing to give it, you are willing to accept such a big talk, and the result..."

"If it's Jin Zhu, there must be more of you who can come back." She raised her shoulders, as if being weighed heavily by something, her eyes were complicated, but they were still as firm as before, "Here, what you have to bear Responsibility is definitely not as simple as a battle, a victory in a battle. The identity of captain is not something that can be assumed correctly as long as one's own force is strong. You are not my subordinates, but my teammates, my companions, I have an obligation, a responsibility to be worthy of the responsibility of my captain, instead of making it just a title."

The weight on that shoulder... a little heavy, but very reassuring.It is because of their existence that her footsteps can be solid and powerful, she can always move forward fearlessly, she can walk hard even if she is scarred, and she can stand straighter than anyone else.

——She is not afraid of carrying, only afraid of losing everything that can be carried.

So...so——

"Everyone!! Hold on to me!!!"

Amidst the thundering sounds of fighting, Hikaru Sakata finally heard the sound of hope coming from outside the gate, but it was vague but made people suddenly see the sound of hope.

It was help.

The large troops of the Yi army came late.

The number of enemies they faced was almost the fate of being crushed by them, but it was unexpectedly difficult, which dragged on for a long time, so that the fighter plane was delayed.

But the loss is very small.

Opposite them is the Ghost Soldier Team. Although they had the advantage of attacking from front to back, the Heavenly Man insisted on occupying that fortress.

Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kotaro worked hard to get to the meeting point, and the first thing they noticed was their injuries, and they refused to go back to rest quietly, insisting on Sakata Hikaru standing quietly at the place closest to Taniguchi.

They looked around for the first time, feeling somewhat heavy, and were about to go to comfort Hikaru Sakata, but when they walked nearby, before they could speak, she stopped her with a word.

"The members of the medical team... haven't come back yet."

Ugh?

"Haven't come back yet?" Gui was the first to frown. He looked in that direction worryingly, and murmured, "It shouldn't be, it's clearly the first one to set off, no matter how slow you are, even if you encounter the enemy's attack..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the army.

When the voice came from the side, Hikaru Sakata's heart skipped a beat. Looking back subconsciously, he heard a news like a bolt from the blue.

"The medical team... all wiped out!"

The whole army was in an uproar.

how is this possible? ! !

Because the news was so shocking, Mitsuko Sakata didn't even react with a blank face. The noisy voice buzzed in her ears, but she caught the fearful voice of the person who brought the news back with incomparable precision. Quietly walked over.

It was Takasugi Shinsuke who was questioning that person in detail. Although he was also shocked, he still forcibly calmed down, "What happened! If there is a large-scale enemy operation, it is impossible for us not to know!"

"No... no large-scale action..." The soldiers who had broken their arms and were still bleeding from their stumps were terrified and slurred, immersed in that hellish horror, unable to get rid of that shadow, " Strange, monster...there are two monsters!!"

"monster?"

"Take, hold a giant umbrella, a monster covered in bandages!!"

Takasugi Shinsuke seemed to have been poured with cold water at that time. This characteristic... is basically sure that the Yetu clan did not run away.

The night rabbit of the universe's number one fighting race!The only variable is them, but...but how is it possible? !

Hikaru Sakata, who was clearly watching from the sidelines, turned around dumbly, and slowly clenched the hand on the handle of the knife on the left waist. She felt that she should be very angry and painful, but in fact she was very calm now, as if her thoughts were also Frozen, dazed and blank.

...so...what the hell...why...

"Ah Guang—!!"

Hikaru Sakata suddenly came back to her senses, and then her forehead hit the hard ground. The severe pain made her more awake. Just as she was about to get up, she realized that she did not fall accidentally, but was suppressed by someone.

Trying to move the folded arms folded behind the back, unexpectedly remained motionless, Sakata Hikaru moved his lips, and his voice was low and depressing, "Gintoki...let me go."

"Let me go, what are you doing?!" Sakata Gintoki yelled at her uncharacteristically, "Are you going to drag this body to your death?!"

I don't know what word stimulated Hikaru Sakata, she began to struggle violently, and the emotion on her normally calm face no matter what happened, was like the complete eruption of the turbulent undercurrent under the calm sea.

"I didn't! You let me go!!"

"No..." Sakata Gintoki gritted his teeth, his face was almost bursting with blue veins when everyone around him stood back and watched cautiously.

If not, who is that person who rushed towards the valley like crazy? !Even the aura is frightening to the point of terror, okay?

"Guang, calm down!" Sakata Gintoki used almost all his strength to suppress her, and only then sadly realized that he could barely draw with the seriously injured Guang.

Gui Xiaotaro walked around them anxiously, as if he wanted to help but was unable to do so.

"...I'm very calm." Hikaru Sakata couldn't move anymore. The wound that had been hastily bandaged before burst apart again under the large movement just now, and the blood slowly spread and soaked on the ground. Her voice seemed to be squeezed from the depths of her throat. Coming out, with a broken breath, and obvious begging and pain, "But I don't believe... Yinshi, let me go, let me save her..."

Sakata Gintoki's breathing stopped suddenly.

Ah Guang... cried...?

The memories from many years ago seemed to be overwhelming. Ah Guang, who was also crushed on the ground, was so painful that he saw the desperate eyes of hell, and also... tears like blood.

...He likes Ah Guang's eyes very much. Although they are red like him, they are even more blood-colored than his color, but when Ah Guang smiles slightly, his eyes are very warm, shining like rubies Brilliant beautiful colors.

And definitely not now, definitely not when he was crying like this, making him see the red eyes of blood and tears.

Sakata Hikaru couldn't see Sakata Yinshi's expression hidden under his long bangs, and couldn't break free from his movements. She only knew that if she didn't go... she would regret it for the rest of her life.

Sakata Gintoki raised his hand suddenly, and a powerful hand knife cut precisely on the back of Sakata Hikaru's neck, knocking her unconscious.

He carefully avoided the numerous wounds on her body that were almost blood-stained so that the original style of the clothes could not be seen, and handed her to Katsura Kotaro who was standing by.

"But if I let you go, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

His voice was so low that even Gui couldn't hear him clearly, then he clenched the handle of the knife on his waist and looked at Shinsuke Takasugi, who had already started to mobilize suitable troops, "Hey, I'll lead the team this time."

Shinsuke Takasugi didn't even look at him, and snorted lightly, "Isn't that nonsense, idiot."

Her breathing was short and slow at times, and her hair was wet with cold sweat. Even though she was unconscious, her brows were still furrowed. Hikaru Sakata clenched his teeth. The painful look made others worry that she would collapse at any time.

But... It's almost the same, even if she was deceived and sealed, she couldn't completely bury her heartbreaking heart, as if she had turned out from the darkest corner of the memory warehouse again, the blood all over the sky seemed to overwhelm her consciousness, and her nerves seemed to be trapped. It hurts like tearing, so that the whole person has to curl up.

Can't protect, can't protect, can't protect... She can't protect anything!

A small whimper sounded in the silent temporary tent, Hikaru Sakata slowly tightened his fingers, and slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the tent, the sound was a little noisy at the moment. She listened for a while, propped up her body and stood up again. She staggered uncontrollably at the first step, staggered and almost fell down. Holding a wooden stake with his hands, he blinked his eyes darkened by excessive blood loss, and walked out step by step.

Probably because no one thought that she would wake up so early, so they didn't spare any more hands to look at her, and she managed to follow the voice all the way to the place where Sakata Gintoki was.

A lot of soldiers formed a huge circle there, they didn't know what they were looking at, the scene was a bit chaotic, and the miscellaneous sounds made Hikaru Sakata's dizzy brain buzz even more, and he couldn't distinguish and capture the most accurate information.

This situation didn't last long, because soon someone turned around unintentionally and saw Hikaru Sakata standing outside the circle in a daze. He was surprised and subconsciously exclaimed, "Master Sakata?!"

There was a moment of silence among the crowd. The few people closest to her first subconsciously moved out of the way, but immediately blocked back after thinking of something.

But...it's too late.

Even if there was only that little gap, it was enough for Hikaru Sakata to see the blood-stained corpses in miserable... corpses.

And Sakata Gintoki, who was standing in the circle, holding a snowflake hairpin whose bloodstains hadn't been wiped off in his hand.

The buzzing sound in the ears became heavier, Sakata Hikaru closed his eyes, opened them again, and was able to meet Sakata Gintoki's eyes without hindrance.

It is impossible to hide this matter for a lifetime, and everyone kept silent to make room for her.

The look in Sakata Guang's eyes was even a little helpless and bewildered. She twitched the corners of her mouth, as if she wanted to laugh and refute, but in the end, after Sakata Yinshi bowed her head in silence, she was completely silent.

Her empty eyes fell on a sliver of silver in those corpses without focus, and the turbid color mixed with blood and silver finally became the last straw that crushed her.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the captain of the raid team with great reputation, the strong girl who has always been in front of the mountain collapsed without changing her face, her feet softened and she knelt down on the spot, her hands hugged her arms, and she lowered slowly little by little. nod.

The normally straight spine also bent down as if overwhelmed.

His breath was extremely unstable, like a bomb that could explode at any time, destroying himself first before destroying others.

Needless to say, that extremely painful emotion, everyone seemed to hear that silent cry.

'I, I like Xiaoguang the most. '

The girl's smiling voice vaguely appeared in her ears again, and at the same time, there was another, warm and soft little girl's voice overlapping and crossing, which made her soul feel like a heavy blow.

'I like you……'

Something exploded in her mind, blasting all her consciousness into a blank, but the next moment, it was as if a sledgehammer slammed down on the back of her head, forcibly pulling her consciousness into a breathless chaos again. In the dark of air.

Hikaru Sakata's body froze, then limply leaned forward, and fell to the cold ground.

——The world, since then began to fall apart.

Again and again she...can't protect anything.

one more time……

one more time……

Finally, there was nothing left.

nothing left.

The author has something to say: ——The Juan of the Barbarians, it's over.

In the end, I barely wrote a half-baked campaign, there is something strange...forgive me.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to post it all at once. This is a plot I have been thinking about for a long time.

Ah Guang's pain was not only due to Xiaoxue's death, but also the memory of his previous life caused by Xiaoxue's death.

She almost broke the seal by herself, but she passed out in the end, which was also restricted by that very early god. [It feels like it’s useless, so is that Xue’er really not the heroine! [Actually complaining about myself

You are looking forward to cutting Songyang... I am sorry that I have a psychological shadow on Songyang now.

The "again...again..." at the end means that besides losing Xiaoxue, Aguang also lost Songyang and his comrades who fought side by side, because the Ghost Squad was not wiped out ← this plot I will write in detail in the next volume, but not too much.

Almost lost friends, JOY3 was like that afterward, almost broke up with her, and she was ashamed to see Chen Ma again.

In other words, silver time will be offline for a period of time.

Give them some time to heal [hands together

I really want to write a healing short story... _(:з」∠)_
