Living in Tokyo, all I want to do is laze around.

Uesugi Kai felt there was something more to her words, and then suddenly remembered that she also had a younger sister.

"Firework sauce?"

Upon hearing Hanabi Hanabi's name, Chitose Mai suddenly exclaimed, "Ah~ why didn't you bring Hanabi-chan along for the training camp? There are only three girls in the archery club, and Ogata-senpai doesn't like to talk. It's so boring."

"She's not in the archery club."

Kai Uesugi actually wanted to bring Hanabi Hanabi along, but there were too many restrictions and no good reason to do so.

We can't just let her come over and watch everyone train.

He shook his head, gave up on the idea, and decided to chat with her while soaking in the hot spring.

------

Life without a girlfriend is very boring.

On the third day, by the afternoon of training, everyone still hadn't grasped the knack of breathing rhythm and was quite frustrated about it.

"Where might the problem lie? Has anyone thought about that?"

Wearing a pristine white archery uniform, Noriyuki Ogasawara stands with his hands behind his back, his stern appearance revealing his seriousness and earnestness in his youth.

Most of the members of the archery club looked at each other, their faces filled with nothing but confusion.

After two days of study, they still hadn't grasped anything, and their shame even made them think they weren't cut out for archery.

Sugita Sohei sat quietly to the side, without making a sound.

"What do you think, Uesugi?" Ogasawara Tokikiyo suddenly turned to ask him, and all the members of the archery club turned to look at him.

—If Hanabi were in this situation, she would definitely feel even more pressure, but Uesugi Kai didn't seem to care about the stares of the crowd.

"You're taking this too seriously."

People didn't bother to understand his statement.

What does it mean to be overly serious? Isn't it good to study and delve into things diligently?

That's exactly what I mean.

Ogasawara Tokikiyo, however, unexpectedly laughed and then faced the people kneeling in the archery arena.

"I have seen everyone's hard work and great enthusiasm during the training these past two days."

“You study and learn from what I say very diligently, but do you know why I say you take it too seriously?”

Ogasawara Tokikiyo slowly turned around, picked up his bamboo bow that he had used for many years, and then drew the bowstring without a string.

My arm felt as light as if I hadn't exerted any effort.

"What should you pay attention to when drawing the bow? Movement, posture, position, coordination, and breathing."

"These movements complement each other, but what have you been focusing on during your training these past few days?"

"Breathe, just breathe."

"You're trying so hard to figure out how it's done, how I'm so rhythmic and melodic, focusing all my attention on my breathing as if you have nothing else to do."

Ogasawara Tokikiyo put down his bow and looked around at the crowd, who seemed to have just realized something.

"Breathing is not the only thing you do when you're shooting an arrow."

"As for why I'm only pointing out your problems now, let me quote a line from 'Archer Kenzo' Awa—"

"If he points out the problem from the beginning, he cannot convince you of the decisive role that breathing exercises play in you. Just like when you fall into the water, you have to suffer a little through your own efforts before you are willing to grab the lifebuoy that others throw to you."

"And this lifebuoy will become incredibly clear in your mind."

"To shoot an arrow is to dedicate one's entire life to it."

Please remember this sentence.

Over the next few days, the team and individual participants began a hellish training regimen.

The last day of the training camp.

In this bamboo grove training ground, the five people who had been practicing for a week began to demonstrate their shooting techniques together to the teacher who had been carefully instructing them, Norishi Ogasawara.

The clear blue sky and swaying green bamboo reflected the resounding music of the young people.

###Author's Note on Launch (Routine Sob Story)###

It was released at midnight on May Day. Thank you to everyone who has been reading and giving rewards.

If possible, dear readers, please do come to Qidian and give it a first subscription. This is the best encouragement you can give to the author. (Even the bonus coins earned from watching the 10-second ad count. Please help me out, thank you.)

------

The author also received a lot of feedback during this period.

As for whether the author is a novice?

I am indeed a novice, not very good at writing, and I can't control the pacing well.

I kept getting criticized at the beginning. This book really didn't get many readers at first, there was no feedback, and my book favorites kept dropping.

Every time I see a favorite disappear, my heart sinks.

Back then, I had written over 10 words and only had 500 favorites, making me a complete flop.

Fortunately, there are still one or two readers who keep reading and want to continue writing. How can they bear to let Hanabi-chan just disappear like that?

As an author, I can't please everyone. Some people offer helpful suggestions, while others simply leave a disgusting comment and walk away...

Whenever I see these words, I sit in front of the computer and my mind goes blank; I don't know what to write next.

However, I still want to thank everyone who left comments and feedback. Your support gives me the motivation to write the next chapter.

I believe all authors think this way.

If the pacing is too slow, or if people feel the content is too watered down, please be sure to speak up.

The author puts a lot of effort into writing each chapter, but unfortunately, the skill level is not high enough and the pacing is not well controlled, so it is impossible to achieve perfection.

Thank you again to everyone who has followed along. If possible, please be sure to give a first subscription on Qidian. Thank you.

------

Finally, regarding updates, well, it's a flop, hardly anyone's reading it, and the author has no more content in the pipeline.

Five chapters will be updated upon release. After the initial subscription reaches 200, an additional chapter will be added for every 200 additional subscriptions.

......

Due to a lack of inventory... the five chapters that are currently available for purchase may not be finished until the entire May Day holiday...

(A chapter will be released at midnight.)

Thank you all for your support and donations. The author expresses his deepest gratitude (bang bang bang).

###Chapter 130 Night, A Silent Moment###

The setting sun ignited the drifting clouds in the sky, and the twilight made everything fiery red.

Pedestrians on the street wiped the sweat from their brows, carrying briefcases, having luckily ended their day as corporate slaves early.

The sunset glow reddened the girl's cheeks as she stood on the small hill, her gaze passing through the treetops, quietly waiting for the figure walking slowly towards her on the street.

"Kai-kun".

A gentle breeze swept away the gloom of dusk, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Kai Uesugi put down his suitcase and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw the girl's radiant smile, as bright as summer fireworks.

"Just wait at home."

"Hanabi wanted to come and greet Kai-kun." The girl's milky white skirt fluttered in the wind, revealing white stockings with a faint flesh-colored hue underneath.

"It must be hot standing here all the time, right? Your forehead is covered in sweat, and your clothes are soaked."

Looking at Hanabi Hanabu, who was covered in sweat, Uesugi Kai handed her the small bag in his hand, saying, "I brought you some food."

Hanabi Hanamaru carefully took the bag, holding it in front of her skirt with her two small hands, her soft voice of thanks barely audible.

"Thank you, Kai-kun..."

Every time she hears that weak voice of gratitude, Uesugi Kai is reminded of how pitiful she was as a child, and how envious she was of everyone playing together.

Why didn't anyone like her back then?

He adjusted the bow bag on his shoulder and gently wiped the girl's delicate face, which was covered in beads of sweat, with his right hand:

"Little Firework should smile more."

"it is good."

Hanabi Hanamaru, her cheeks now damp with sweat, smiled warmly once more.

"Kai-kun, give me the box."

"It's very heavy, and besides the clothes, there are also a lot of books."

"It's alright. Kai-kun has been training for a week and he's very tired. Let Hanabi help him out too."

Hanabi Hanabi stared at his handsome face without moving, then suddenly blushed and said, "Hanabi, I miss Kai-kun so much."

Kai Uesugi handed the suitcase to her small hand tied with a knot, and said with a smile, "You've missed me already in less than a week? Aren't you afraid I'll secretly touch your waist?"

"Kai-kun... just don't go too far..."

------

Once home, Uesugi Kai lay down on his bed, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

But then he suddenly frowned. His sweaty body was too uncomfortable to sleep in, so he decided to take a shower first.

The Uesugi family wasn't exactly rich, but they were certainly not poor either.

This is evident from the fact that the bathtub can accommodate two people.

Kai Uesugi likes to make the bath water a little hot, starting with a half-body bath to let his body slowly get used to the water temperature, and then submerging his whole body in the bathtub.

The feeling of being immersed in hot, warm water can easily make people make sounds of comfort.
