Stretch...

There was a crisp sound, and the arrow flew out from the released hand.

There is drizzle in the sky, and the grass in the dojo is swaying slightly on the soil.

Sakakibara looked at the target that was shot under the curtain in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief, and took out an arrow from the quiver at his feet.

Fly out.

Bang...

Crisp hit tone.

"Oh! I'm in very good condition today." Masahiro Hata, who had just come in from the dojo, was carrying a bow bag and said with a smile to Sakakibara who was in the shooting position.

"It's okay."

Sakakihara did not turn around to reply. Instead, he calmed down and drew an arrow with a green tail from his side.

He nocked an arrow and drew the bow, tense his arm muscles to draw the bow string, and aimed his sight at the target under the rain.

The fingers loosened.

Bang...

Hit again.

"Good afternoon, Minister Tianhai!"

Hata Masahiro saw Tiankai Jiuri coming from the other side of the dojo.

The girl's clean figure in the kyudo uniform made him straighten his back.

"Good afternoon," Tianhai Jiuliuli responded with a smile and nodded gently, "Why are you so nervous? I'm not a bad person."

"No, no, no, this is respect for Minister Tianhai!"

Hata Masahiro smiled with his teeth and said in a very bright voice, "Minister, do you have any goals today?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli held her chin and thought for a while:

"No, there haven't been any competitions recently. You can just train according to your own ability. If you have any questions, you can ask me. Although I am not a teacher, I should be able to give you some suggestions."

"Minister Tianhai is so humble! Minister Tianhai is the only fourth-dan player in our club!"

"Okay, okay, I told you not to be so serious."

"Yes! Minister Hai, I went to change my hakama clothes that day. I will try my best to shoot 50 times today."

"Okay, come on! Be careful not to hurt your hands." Tianhai Jiuliuli showed a heart-warming smile.

Hata Masahiro was moved by Minister Tenkai’s words, thinking that Minister Tenkai must be too good!

But Minister Tianhai is still an iconic beautiful girl...it’s simply irresistible!

Cut...

Seeing the back of Hata Masahiro walking into the locker room, in front of the shooting position in the dojo, Kobayashi Ansai glanced disdainfully. Ever since the new chief came, this guy has become as energetic as a chicken.

Although Minister Tenkai is indeed beautiful, Hata Masahiro is a guy who has not understood the four words "A straight shot will hit" at first glance.

What does a straight shot mean?

If you have no distractions, then your shot will hit the target!

If you don’t have a woman in your heart, you can shoot accurately!

He is a man who wants to inspire his way to the top of the country.

Before this goal is achieved, women are just drugs.

Amami Jiuri came to Sakakihara Raku with a long bow and asked quietly: "How do you feel about the new breathing method I taught you yesterday?"

"It's very useful, but it takes some getting used to."

"Yes, changing the rhythm you are accustomed to requires long-term exercise."

Breathing techniques cannot be practiced overnight.

Not to mention that the Japanese bow is completely different from the competitive bow. The breathing method used is completely different. The breathing method of kyudo is much longer and the breath is much longer.

Moreover, the Japanese bow is long at the top and short at the bottom. Compared with the traditional recurve bow, the performance is not excellent at all. From a modern perspective, it is more to match the etiquette of kyudo.

Etiquette is quite complicated and troublesome.

Bang...

Hit again.

The target in front of Sakakihara Raku already had six arrows. He stopped and began to watch the movements of Amami Kuruuri next to him.

The girl placed the arrow on the string, spread her legs forward and backward, and faced the target in front. She pulled the string with her right hand and held the bow with her left hand. She raised both hands in an elegant movement like a swan standing on the lake.

When she released the string with her right hand, the ethereal sound of the string pushed the arrow straight into the target.

Sakakihara Raku has been studying kyudo for several years and knows that everyone’s string sound is different.

Most of them are harsh, like a "click"-like linear sound.

But this was the first time Sakakihara Raku heard such a smooth and quiet string sound like Jiuri.

......

"Then let's go first, Minister Tianhai."

"See you tomorrow, Minister Tenkai, Sakakibara-kun."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Because the rain started to fall heavily, everyone in the club began to go home one after another. Today, Tianhai Jiuliuli was on duty at the archery field. He was mainly responsible for mopping the floor, putting away the bows, and taking out the targets from the shooting range.

Put it down and put it back into the dojo.

There were many people who wanted to help her, but they were all rejected by Tianhai Jiuliuli with a smile.

Raku Sakakihara stayed with her until the end.

Because the target was on the lawn, Sakakihara was responsible for holding the umbrella for her, and she took down the wooden blocks from above.

When they walked back to the dojo together, Tianhai Jiuliuli asked him:

"Brother, how do you feel about today?"

I don't know why, but now when he faces Jiuliuli... he can always think of the scene where she stretched out her hand to hold her collar.

He looked at the rain on the lawn and was recalling that scene, when his thoughts were interrupted by Jiuliuli's voice.

He thought for a while and replied:

"Accumulate daily."

"Accumulation through daily practice...? That's a very good answer." Tianhai Jiuliuli held Mu Dunzi in his arms, "For my brother, what does archery mean? In other words, why does my brother want to learn archery?"

"It's very simple. Interest means working hard with the attitude of learning something new."

"Interesting..."

"Where's Jiuliuli?"

"I...I like the atmosphere of archery more," Tianhai Jiuliuli walked under his umbrella, "I like the tranquility of raising a long bow and looking at the target, I like to focus my eyes a little, and I like to listen in my ears.

The breeze, I like the smell of grass and earth coming in the wind... and the crisp sound of "stretching" when you let go of the bow string is very pleasant."

Seeing that the wooden target in Amami Kuruuri's hand slipped, Sakakihara Raku quickly stretched out a hand to help her hold it.

"Sorry, I didn't hurry up just now."

"How about you hold an umbrella, and I'll take the remaining ones back."

"How can this be so embarrassing...Okay then." Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at him who was taller than herself, suddenly thought of his identity, and quickly changed his mind.

The two people exchanged tasks, Sakakihara Raku held the wooden target, and Amami Kuruuri held an umbrella for him.

"Do you feel like we don't look like brothers and sisters now, but like strangers we just met?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded: "Yes, there are some."

"What's Jiuliuli's impression of me?"

"It's very good, even great... Every day when I wake up, I see my brother preparing breakfast for us."

"No, these are really nothing."

"No, Jiu Liuli thinks that brother should understand how difficult it is to prepare breakfast for us every day, not to mention that you prepare different meals according to the tastes of me, Qi Mingyue, and Ling."

Tianhai Jiuliuli held an umbrella for him, with a bright smile on her face.

"Besides, I also like the way my brother cooks, the seriousness with which he cuts vegetables, and the care with which he prepares ingredients. When I help him, I find that he will handle the fruits and vegetables very cleanly, and then

Just started cooking for us."

"It's just a habit..." Sakakibara said, placing the target on the wooden board of the dojo, and then turned back.
