Futaba High School Archery Club.

Hanari Sakurai raised her longbow and aimed at the target at a distance of 28 meters.

Wearing a bow uniform, she has a dignified posture, elegant posture, and the temperament she exudes when she bends her bow and shoots arrows, just like a famous lady.

Whoever comes.

You will feel that Sakurai Hanari's archery etiquette and posture are impeccable.

Boom!

The arrows were like meteors, galloping towards the target.

Boom!

The arrow hit the target, and it hit the ten rings.

In normal times, the members of the Kyudo Club would have already uttered words of admiration.

But today there is an eerie silence.

In the end, Keita Fujita, the head of archery, couldn't stand it, and stood up and took the initiative to say: "That, Sakurai-san, are you not feeling well today, don't talk about the 60-meter target missing the target every time, why the 28-meter close target also misses the target every time." ”

"Minister, I just shot the Ten Rings, right?" Hanari Sakurai tried to defend herself.

"You hit the Ten Rings."

Minister Keita Fujita's face darkened: "But you can see whose target it hit." ”

"Huh?"

Sakurai Hanari noticed that she was shooting at the target of the other members: "Ministry, minister, I'm sorry, I may be in a bit wrong today, but I'll cheer up next." ”

"Sakurai-san, the archery tournament is about to start."

Keita Fujita reminded, "You should know the importance of this tournament, so please pay attention. ”

"Minister, I'll try."

"Forget it."

Keita Fujita waved his hand: "You can go back first today, I know that your attention is on the side of the kendo club." ”

"I—I don't have ......"

Sakurai Hanari is very weak-hearted, but her action is not slow.

"Whew!"

Sakurai Hanari ran out of breath, and finally caught up with the contest between Ritsu Ninomiya and Sae Asama.

She didn't tell Ninomiya Ritsu that she was here, but found a corner with a good view, clasped her hands in front of her chest and prayed: "Ninomiya-kun, come on...... No, what if Ninomiya-kun really defeated Minister Asama and came to confess to me? ”

"Sakurai-san is here, too."

A cold voice rang in my ears.

Hanari Sakurai turned her head and saw Shiori Hayakawa beside her, who was expressionless.

Her heart tightened for no reason: "Hayakawa-san, you, you also came to see Ninomiya-kun to challenge Minister Asama?" ”

"Of course not."

Shiori Hayakawa denied: "I'm just out of humanitarianism, and I'll collect the body of the sick and weak king after he is defeated." ”

There is no mercy in the mouth.

But Shiori Hayakawa's gaze never left Ninomiya Ritsu from beginning to end.

Even passers-by can see it.

She's worried about Ritsu Ninomiya.

Sakurai Hanari didn't expose it, but asked, "Hayakawa-san thinks, will Ninomiya-kun lose?" ”

"Perhaps."

"But that day in the alley, Ninomiya-kun defeated a large group of rampaging groups."

"Don't compare Sazue Asama to the rampant group."

The worry on Shiori Hayakawa's face became even stronger: "Although the sick and weak kun has the strength of a kendo master, he is learning to show the stream, and Sachie Asama, known as a once-in-a-century kendo wizard, has held two high school kendo tournaments, and no one even forced her full strength." ”

"Isn't Ninomiya-kun dangerous?"

Kari Sakurai's heart was lifted again.

Shiori Hayakawa didn't answer this question, but asked rhetorically, "Sakurai-san, don't you want the sick and weak kun to lose the competition?" ”

"I, I ......"

"If I'm not mistaken."

Shiori Hayakawa interrupted Sakurai Hanashi: "The reason why you put forward the request for the sick and weak kun to defeat Minister Asama is to let the sick and weak kun know the difficulty and retreat, right?" Or have you changed your mind? ”

"I, I ......"

Sakurai Hanari is like a young beast that has been forced into a corner, and she is powerless in the face of Shiori Hayakawa's questioning.

Her heart was even more chaotic at this moment.

"I—Of course I want Ninomiya-kun to lose!"

Sakurai Hanari said stiffly: "But that Minister Asama, although you say that he is amazing, he doesn't look very powerful, and he is completely a timid little girl, so even if I want Ninomiya-kun to lose, he will definitely win." ”

"I hope so."

Shiori Hayakawa showed a playful smile: "Satoe Asama, it's about to start." ”

The next second.

Sasama Rihui held the sword in both hands, and an astonishing momentum emanated.

"How, how can this be?"

Sakurai Hanari's mouth was no longer hard now, and her face was irrepressibly anxious: "That little girl who is afraid of life, why is there such a big difference between holding the sword and putting down the sword?" ”

"It's kind of like a double personality."

Shiori Hayakawa seems to have known all this for a long time: "It is said that people who don't know her will suffer a big loss when they compete with her for the first time, and no one can expect that there is a terrifying power hidden in that petite body." ”

"No! Let's go and remind Ninomiya-kun! ”

Sakurai Hanari was concerned and confused, and she couldn't hold her breath at all: "That stupid guy of Ninomiya-kun has never had much eyesight, and he will definitely be deceived by Minister Asama's appearance, and then he will be negligent and defeated on the spot." ”

"Sakurai-san, you say you want the sick and weak to lose, but your body is very honest." Shiori Hayakawa said calmly.

"Well, I'll admit it!"

Sakurai Hanari said anxiously: "I really don't want Ninomiya-kun to lose the competition!" ”

"Don't worry."

Shiori Hayakawa stopped: "The eyes of the sick and weak kun are indeed quite blind, but don't underestimate his strength too much, the changes in Megumi Asama, it is estimated that he has already felt it." ”

"Compared to this."

Shiori Hayakawa continued: "What I care more about is that Sakurai-san hopes that the sick and weak kun can win the competition, which means that you are ready to associate with the sick and weak kun?" ”

"I, I don't know."

"I don't know, it's not prepared."

Shiori Hayakawa's tone became a little harsh: "Sakurai-san, you are my friend, and the sick and weak kun is also my friend, I don't want you to treat the sick and weak kun the same way you treat other boys, otherwise...... I'm kind of annoyed. ”

"Of course I won't hang Ninomiya-kun."

Sakurai Hanari replied, and then turned on the offensive: "Hayakawa-san, are you warning me for Ninomiya-kun?" You keep saying that I'm your friend, and Ninomiya-kun is also your friend, but the difference in how you treat your friends is too big, right? ”

"It's just your delusion."

"Whether it's a delusion or not, Hayakawa-san, you know it in your heart."

“……”

Shiori Hayakawa neither admitted nor denied it, but remained silent.

"Hayakawa-san."

Sakurai Hanari looked directly at Shiori Hayakawa: "I've made up my mind. ”

"You should say this to the sick and weak."

"After this competition, I will say to him, whether he wins or loses."

"yes, I see."

Shiori Hayakawa replied calmly, as if it was none of her business.

But if careful.

You will notice a flash of panic in her eyes.

Hanari Sakurai has already made up her mind.

But she can't make up her mind as easily as Sakurai Hanari.

What can she do?

As a famous family, she can't make her own decisions about her marriage, and her future is already doomed.

At this moment.

She was even a little envious of Sakurai Hanari.

……

The conversation between the two ended.

The contest between Ritsu Ninomiya and Sae Asama has officially begun.
