Chapter Ninety-Nine: The First Test of Archery

Looking at our actions, Carlo's pure blue eyes suddenly widened.

"Little ones, eat and eat, leave them alone." Skaha said with a smile as he served Karlo, "Those two people will be like that as long as they stay together, you will slowly get used to it." ”

After training, Skaha also learned to use chopsticks, and is now quite proficient in using them.

"Oh......" Carlo nodded incomprehensibly, and began to bend down to concentrate on the mountain of food in front of him......

…………

Not surprisingly, the meals I cooked myself were also praised by Carlo.

"Brother Weigong, I didn't expect you to be a good cook, and it tastes so good!" Carlo's eyes sparkled, and he looked at me as if he had discovered a new world.

"That's not it, your brother Weigong relied on this ability to chase down your sister Artoria in the first place." Skaha, as if afraid of chaos, whispered softly in Carlo's ear.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you sure? Carlo was stunned for a moment, and the look in his eyes seemed to be a little different when he looked at me.

"Yes, so you have to learn to cook in the future, little one. In the hearts of girls, boys who can cook are the most attractive. Skaha gently stroked Carlo's head with a smile in his eyes.

…………

"Hey Skaha, don't teach children crookedly." I couldn't stop laughing, "If you want to talk about women who think like this in your heart, I'm afraid it's only you and Artoria here......"

"Shirou! It's too much! The blonde girl beside her immediately retracted her head and protested dissatisfiedly, "I just like delicious food, don't compare me to a simple glutton like Sister Skaha!" ”

"Speaking of which, I deliberately adopted a new method for today's caviar, retaining the original spicy flavor and adding sweetness......" I bowed my head and whispered in the ear of the girl who was beating me on the shoulder.

…………

β€œβ€¦β€¦οΌ Please let me taste it! ”

The girl's attention was completely absorbed by the dining table, and she snatched the plate of caviar in front of her with great swiftness.

"Good...... Well, the caviar is all Artoria's, and no one can snatch it. Feeling funny in my heart, I gently ** the top of the head of the girl who hurriedly devoured caviar to comfort.

…………

"See no, that's the power of good food." Skaha teased Carlo, "Little one, if you can make something amazing to your sister in the future, she can consider rewarding you." ”

"Yes! For my sister's reward, I will definitely cheer! Carlo's expression suddenly became serious, and he bowed slightly in my direction, "Brother Emiya, please teach me how to make delicious meals!" ”

"Hmm...... No...... No way! Before I could speak, I saw the girl next to me with caviar suddenly looking up, swallowing the food in her mouth and saying, "Shirou's cooking world is unique, and it is impossible to learn!" It is also a national treasure in the whole of Britain, and a casual leak will definitely cause a catastrophe! ”

"I say, it's not so exaggerated, it's just a method that can be mastered with a little study." I reluctantly took the napkin from the side and wiped the corners of the girl's mouth, "Eat slowly, so that your mouth is full of wasted food......

…………

"I'm sorry...... But...... Even so, I'm going to be the first to learn how to cook Shirou! I lowered my head a little embarrassed, but the stubbornness in the girl's eyes did not diminish at all, "Before that, Shirou was not allowed to teach anyone...... Especially Sister Skaha, the specific approach! ”

"Lily, you're so naΓ―ve." Skaha crossed her arms and smiled happily, "Do you think the Shadow Queen's tongue is an ornament?" After tasting the meals made by the imps these days, I have basically decided on the method of each dish. I'll start practicing tonight, and I guess I can succeed in the next two days. ”

"Woo...... Shirou, you are only allowed to teach me, and Sister Skaha will let her figure it out on her own! The girl quickly grabbed my sleeve with a pitiful expression, "Because if Sister Skaha succeeds first, I will never be able to claim my monopoly on Shirou again!" ”

"Don't talk to me as if you're a bet item......," I tapped the girl's snow-white forehead, "Anyway, if you really want to learn how to cook, I'll teach you well." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Brother Emiya, don't forget me! Carlo also quickly poked his head out, "Once Sister Artoria learns, it's my turn!" I must make the best dishes that will convince Sister Skaha and win that reward! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Spare me. Looking at the three people in front of me who were burning with fighting spirit at the same time, I pressed my temples with a headache.

…………

And just like that, lunch ended in an eerie and joyous atmosphere.

After a short break, the three of us came to the martial arts arena.

…………

"Is this a training bow and arrow?" As I spoke, I picked up a wooden longbow in front of me.

In front of him were several arrows with sharpened heads and bird feathers on their tails.

"Well, Shirou, you need to shoot the arrow in front of you now." The girl who stood still some distance away from me nodded, and said slowly in a quiet voice, "You have a total of five chances. As long as you can hit the bull's-eye with more than three arrows, I recognize that your shot is accurate enough. ”

…………

"I see."

I took a deep breath and placed the arrow on the longbow in the position I remembered, then slowly pulled the bowstring apart.

Aiming my bow and arrow at the bullseye in the distance, I slowly adjusted my bearing.

…………

According to visual inspection, the location of the target was about fifty meters away from me.

To be honest, I don't know if I can hit the bull's-eye. After all, when doing archery practice, the farthest distance is only 30 meters.

What's more, since I voluntarily quit the archery club, I can't remember how long it has been since I haven't held a bow.

…………

In this case, there is only one way.

It's like when you first entered the archery club in the first year and held the longbow for the first time, you just don't think about anything, just believe that you can hit!

Mentally prepared, I simply closed my eyes.

…………

Anyway, if you only need the support of faith, then blocking the vision will not only not have an effect, but can improve a lot of mental concentration.

Slowly, the bowstring was pulled by my arm, and gradually reached the optimal level of tension.

As long as you let go at this point, you will be able to shoot the best arrow!
