"Looks like I didn't show up at the right time."

"No, the arrow just now has already been shot, but I didn't calm down." Sakakihara glanced back at a large letter hanging above the archery dojo - [Forward Shot Must Hit].

Before that, I wouldn't have landed at the first shot.

"I feel like my brother is a lot more restrained outside." Tianhai Jiuliuli blocked half of his face and smiled at him in a low voice.

"You're the minister, after all." Sakakihara glanced around the community and replied in a low voice.

"Because of this, my brother asked me to only call Sakakihara-kun in the archery department?"

Sakakihara Le is not the kind of person who likes two-dimensional soft and cute girls, but being affectionately shouted by a beautiful girl "Ni-chan, Ni-chan" in reality, it is inevitable that you will feel comfortable.

But this experience... It's okay in private.,Put it in the archery department full of acquaintances.....

It's the same as social death!

Sakakihara Le can already fully imagine that scene - hey, Minister Amami turned out to be Sakakihara-san's sister; Is this true?; It's so loving;

- And so on, and so on, and so on.

At that time, when I came to the club every afternoon, I would be looked at by everyone with strange eyes.

Maybe you will also hear some rumors that Minister Tianhai opened a small stove for him because of his brother and sister.

is a little more outrageous, and will say that as a brother, he is not as good as his own sister.

What Japanese high school students love most is to talk to the air.

Once a certain group reaches a consensus, then the rumors that circulate among students will only be more outrageous gossip.

If you are in this environment all the time, how can you calm down and practice your bow?

In fact, it's nothing for outsiders to know that the two are brother and sister, and it's okay to shout normally like Ling, but Jiu Liuli often uses a cordial tone and honorifics when he shouts.

The context of Chinese is equivalent to a beautiful sister calling herself "brother-sama, brother-sama" in front of outsiders.

It really doesn't work......

"Sakakihara-kun used the half-moon shooting method just now?"

"You see that?" Sakakihara was surprised.

"Half moon" is a term used in kyudo.

A target is circular, and if all the targets are exposed in view, then this is a "full moon".

If you block the target halfway with a bow, it is a "half moon".

According to the regulations of the All Japan Kyudo Federation, the bow must not be equipped with calibration equipment, imprints, etc., and can only be aimed with the naked eye.

As for why Sakakihara used half-moon aiming, it was related to his habit of playing with bows and arrows in his previous life.

"It's very clear from the posture of Sakakihara-kun just now. Moreover, Sakakihara-kun's posture just now can be improved a little more, do you need me to demonstrate it? ”

"Please."

"Hmm."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli bowed his head as if he saluted, and then took the bow from his hand.

She took a look at the type of bow, the straight heart of the seven-foot-three-inch fiberglass, the price ... It's about 20,000 yen.

It looks like it's still a new bow, did my brother use this to practice before?

Tianhai Jiuliuli stood on the shooting position.

Sakakihara stood aside and watched the movements of the nine glasses of the sky.

It is said that the girls who practice archery are very stylish, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

She gently drew two arrows from her quiver, one on her bow and one between her index and ring fingers. Forming, preparing the bow, lifting... The first few steps of the eighth section of the shooting method could not find anything wrong with her.

"You can pull your upper body back a little and push your waist forward a little more."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli explained while slowly pulling the bowstring flat.

She was dressed in a plain white bow robe, with a serious expression, and looked at the target in the dojo.

The girl held the bowstring with her right hand, held the bow with her left hand, and opened the bow steadily, the long arrows at the level of her eyes.

The moment the bow is full, the girl's hands and the bow and arrows form a neat cross shape, elegant and calm.

In the case of a full bow, the straight string body did not tremble a little.

How strong does she have?

Sakakihara Le's brows tightened directly when he saw it, what kind of magic skill is this?

You know, this is a 22-kilogram tensile glass bow, and even if he is full, his right hand will tremble when the bow is full.

It is difficult for ordinary girls to pull away even 15 kilograms in a particularly standard bow posture, let alone 22 kilograms of pulling force that this boy is difficult to control.

It's weird.

This glass bow was easily unfolded like a toy in Tianhai Jiuliuli's hands.

The hands do not tremble, and the face does not blush.

"Hold your breath."

If others draw the bow cautiously, then Jiuliuli is to slowly open the bow like a freehand, and the whole process is as calm as the surface of a lake, as comfortable as a basketball showing a perfect parabola.

Sakakihara looked at her again at this time-

The long sleeves that were lifted, the serious expression, the beautiful face, and the ponytail fluttering behind the girl.

Eight sections of archery, formation, preparation of the bow, lifting, drawing the bow, meeting, leaving, and crippling the heart.

Seeing that she had entered the state of "meeting", the bowstring was full, and Sakakihara immediately counted silently on the side:

One, two, three, four, five-

The arrow flew out of the hand of the Nine Glasses of the Heavenly Sea, accompanied by a unique string sound that Sakakihara had never heard before, and the arrow hit the bull's-eye.

When Tianhai Jiuliuli put down her bow, many members of the bow dojo had already silently cast their eyes on her.

Even the deputy minister of the archery department, Masahiro Hatata, opened his mouth slightly, dumbfounded, and then sighed:

"That's amazing."

......

......

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the club activities ended, and the sky was still blue.

"I feel that I have practiced the bow in vain in the past few years."

Today, it can almost be said that Jiu Liuli helped her correct her posture throughout the whole process, and her hand was not less patted on her lower abdomen.

Compared with her usually, she seems to be extremely serious in doing things.

"No, my brother is already very powerful, but a little bit of detail is missing."

"Jiuliuli, how do you easily control the pull of 22 kilograms?"

"Breathe," Tianhai Jiu Ruri said, "and it's not easy for me to pull the bow, and I have to exert all my strength to pull it away." ”

"But I just looked at you..."

"Well, it's mainly thanks to the breathing, and when the breath is good, the hand can be steady, and the bowstring can be pulled without a hint of trembling. However, breathing is not blindly pursuing stability, but should be properly scheduled between the eight sections of the shooting method, and the relaxation should be moderate. ”

"That's right."

"Come to the archery club at noon tomorrow, and I can teach my brother alone."

"Why alone?"

"Because the breathing method is to be felt in a person's lower abdomen, which means that I need to put my hand on my brother's stomach to feel the rhythm of my brother's breathing."

"Want to take off your clothes?"

"No, no, it's okay to wear a hakama."

"Understood...... "Sakakihara Le knows that training alone is to avoid suspicion, but this is still really a small stove."

Breathing varies from person to person, and methods vary from place to place around the world.

The breathing method he uses now is now based on his previous experience in competitive recurve bows.

It can only be said that it can still be used, but it is not suitable for kyudo.

"Judging from the observation just now, my brother is self-taught kyudo, right?"

"Well, I was self-taught, and I won a district championship in junior high school."

"How many years have you been self-taught?"

"Two years."

"That's pretty impressive!"

"It's nothing powerful..."Sakakihara thought to himself, this is all with the help of the experience of playing competitive recurve bows in his previous life.

In his previous life, in order to be selected for the national team, he was not practicing bows and arrows all the time, and studying and eating became secondary... At the age of 18, he won the domestic championship and prepared to go to the Olympics... But I don't want to fish on my day off.

After being reborn, his family did not have the conditions to support him to play with bows and arrows, until his mother's job suddenly improved and the family had some surplus money, and he regained this technology that had been abandoned for more than ten years.

In my previous life, I was tired of playing with the recurve bow.

In this life, he preferred the latter in terms of competition and self-cultivation, so he chose Japanese kyudo that he had never been exposed to.

It can be regarded as adapting to the location you are in and experiencing new things.

But after actual experience, I found that there is a big difference between this traditional bow and a compound bow.

Traditional bows are extremely difficult to learn, and initial aiming is all about feeling.

The arrows shot are also very likely to be floating, and it is difficult to control them after many years of shooting.

Whereas, the competitive recurve bow has a sight and high accuracy.

It's not a system thing at all.

In the past few years, the fact is that he is indeed much worse than his previous life... The body is different, there is no muscle memory, and it is all re-practiced by previous experience.

And the instructor of the junior high school is a tendon of the salute system.

What is a tendon salute system, that is, it doesn't matter if you shoot or not, as long as the posture is good-looking, it is best to miss the shot.

I want him to say... Playing with a bow, no matter how much you respect the etiquette, at least you have to shoot.

Fortunately, there were many junior high school classmates who had the same idea as him at that time, and they all relied on a copy of "Shooting Method" to explore on their own, and won a high school league in Shinjuku City and won the team competition.

- Now that I think about it, it was a victory won by a sincere zeal.

Subway platforms.

The two stood in front of the glass guardrail waiting for the subway, separated by a person's distance from each other.

"Can you say it now? The reason for asking me to go to Ginza. ”

"Mainly... I want to give my brother a gift! ”

"Gifts?"

"The greeting gift, clothes, shoes, I see that my brother's usual clothes have been worn for a long time, and I want to help you change into a new set."

"What's this, I usually wear school uniforms, so it's okay if I don't change them."

"That brother's sneakers must be replaced, they are all so old."

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who stood quietly on the side, smiled.

The subway whistled from the tunnel, bringing the wind in front of her, and the girl's flaxen hair fluttered gently.

Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head, put the shoulder bag on the skirt behind him with both hands, straightened his chest and smiled: "Moreover, it's just a gift, my sister should be fine with a gift to my brother, right?" ”

Hearing this, Sakakihara looked back at him, a smile on his face.

"What is my brother laughing at?"

"It's nothing, I just think it's nice to have someone care like this."

"Suzu-chan didn't give a gift to her brother?"

"She sent it, it's all gadgets, but recently it's been generous, she bought the phone for me again, and I want to give her the money back."

"Brother, it's better not to return the money to Suzu-chan."

"Why?"

"Because if you give a gift to a person, it means that what you give is also your heart, if your brother returns the money, isn't it just that you have returned your heart?"

"You're right when you say that......"

"So, Jiu Liuli's gift to my brother—"

"Can't you pay it back?"

"That's right! My brother usually gets up early to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner for us, which is hard enough... If I don't give him a gift, I'll be upset. ”

Seeing her happy and delicate face, Sakakihara smiled in his heart, looked back and said, "If it weren't for the remarriage of my parents, it would be difficult for people like us to intersect." ”

"yes, not in the same school...... So this is also fate? ”

"Well, fate."

The subway slowly stopped in the prompt, and the two quickly stepped onto the No. 5 car of the subway.

......

At the same time, in the No. 6 car next door, the girl in a Western-style school uniform pulled down her sunglasses, her eyes looked at the two people standing together and chatting in the No. 5 car next door, and then lowered her head and muttered:

"Although it's not with Yoshihara's seniors, but it's actually with Jiu Liuli, how happy it is to have a new sister, and still laughing, chatting with me without smiling... Don't call me yet... What are the two guys going to do? ”
