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

Um...?

Kai Uesugi raised an eyebrow.

perhaps.....

"Uesugi, Uesugi!" Haneda Nozomi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

He stood up from his seat and immediately replied, "Yes, Professor Haneda."

Even if you are singled out, you must remain calm and composed.

Ms. Haneda gave him a professional smile: "Were you daydreaming just now?"

"I've always been serious." He gestured with his left hand, which was against the wall, toward Takahiro Tsubokawa behind him.

Tsubokawa adjusted his glasses, shifted his gaze from the phone displaying anime characters on the wall of books, and gently tapped the table.

dong dong...

Two sounds.

It means I don't know either, don't count on me.

Okay, that's it.

"Could you tell me where I left off?" Ms. Haneda asked politely. "If you're lying, you'll have to stand for the rest of the class."

"..."

Kai Uesugi glanced at the classroom out of the corner of his eye and noticed that most people were just staring at him.

That's pointless. We're classmates, after all. We should at least help each other out.

Goto can't be relied on either; only Hanabi can be depended on at times like this.

He glanced at Hanamaru Hanabi's location and quickly noted down the small white paper she had secretly held up.

"Line 47, second sentence."

Uesugi calmly asked, "Haneda-sensei, should I read it aloud?"

"No need, please sit down," Haneda Nozomi said with a smile, putting down her Japanese language textbook. "Just remember not to get distracted in class."

"Yes."

"And also, Hanamaru-kun."

When Hanabi Hanamaru heard her name called, her little hand instinctively tightened its grip on the pen she had just been writing with.

Haneda Nozomi maintained her smile: "We know you two are a couple, and the school won't interfere in your relationship, but please don't be too affectionate towards each other during class."

A faint chuckle rippled through the classroom.

Hanabi Hanabi blushed and lowered her head:

"Yes."

Haneda Nozomi tapped the table twice with the back of her book. "There's nothing funny about it. Let's continue with the lesson."

------

The rain continued into the afternoon.

With her bow bag slung over her shoulder, Uesugi Kai watched as Hanabi Hanabi and Ayaka Rie and the others went to the club building before heading to the archery club alone under her umbrella.

The ground was wet, and when you walked, a few drops of murky rain would roll up behind your heels.

It also produces a melodious sound of treading water.

Raising her left hand, the ring on her ring finger shone brightly in the soft light of the sky.

It's just a rock, can't you sell it for a lower price?

Uesugi Kai kept waving his left hand back and forth, admiring the things he was giving Hanabi. He thought to himself, "It wouldn't be a problem if the things I give her are a little more expensive."

—Although he didn't pay for it.

The more I think about it, the more terrifying diamonds seem.

As we walked across the playground, the baseball team's passionate voices finally faded away in the rain.

Arrive at the archery club.

Everyone arrived exceptionally early today.

"What are we training today? Is there any team training?" Uesugi Kai put the cleaned umbrella into the umbrella holder by the door.

"No, today's main focus is on practicing accuracy," said Eiji Kanji, who was winding up the drum by the wall.

"Uesugi, are you feeling any better? You seemed distracted during the previous matches," said Masanobu Hirata, who had changed into his archery uniform.

“It’s no problem.” Uesugi Kai put down the bow case and took out the unstrung bamboo bow.

Even on a rainy day, the Shingoku High School archery dojo is exceptionally quiet.

You can hear the sound of raindrops hitting the roof from time to time, but unfortunately, the fragrance of grass in the temple grounds is completely drowned out.

"We're playing Tokyo No. 10 High School on Saturday, right?"

Sugita Sohei put down his bamboo bow at the shooting position: "Tokyo is tenth. No one is particularly outstanding, but their strength is even and their performance is very stable."

Kanai Eiji used his eyes to measure the distance between the string and the bow handle: "The most important thing is still the knowledge of the bow."

Asaka Ogata remained calmly firing her arrow from her shooting position. It was fine on a sunny day, but on a rainy day, just being around her would likely make you catch a cold.

She was eliminated in the top three in the individual competition.

First is Kazeya Tei from Michi, and second is Tamagawa Reise from Sagami.

The two were evenly matched in both rounds of competition.

At this point, a shooting contest is needed—each person shoots an arrow, those who miss are eliminated, and those who hit the target continue to shoot an arrow, then shoot again if they all miss, until someone hits the target and someone misses it at the same time.

Feng Yeti, as the holder of the record for thirty consecutive shots, has his own unique skills.

Tamagawa Reise, a student in the archery department, ran out of stamina after repeatedly drawing his bow with great force, causing him to miss the target on his 24th shot and leave disappointed.

Sugita Sohei slowly drew his bow, maintaining the rhythm of breathing that Ogasawara Tokiyoshi had described. "His role in the team is not only his near 100% accuracy, but more importantly, his constant elegance, which helps his teammates maintain a calm mindset."

"Does Sugita-senpai know him?" Uesugi Kai had noticed something amiss when the two met before.

"I know him; he was my classmate in junior high school."

A single note traveled through the fine rain and reached the bullseye.

"He also studied under Mr. Ogasawara for a period of time before. He was an advisor at their school and a famous sixth-dan master."

"Even though we've been staying together for a week, it's still quite difficult to beat Michi."

Sugita Sohei raised his longbow again, and with a gentle, controlled motion, he brought it to a close.

Another clear note rang out. While maintaining his composure, he gently gripped the bamboo bow, which was being forced to bow back due to the reaction force.

"If Uesugi can maintain his strength, then the rest will mainly depend on you guys."

"Come on."

Chapter 137: The Archery Club – as peaceful as ever.

The strong wind stirred up the raindrops, making the places where the arrows passed look as if they had been pierced in an instant.

A series of hits.

Everyone relaxed from their tense state.

Sakurai Fuko held up the scoreboard, smiling as she raised her hand: "Hi~ No. 44 Middle School, everyone worked hard."

Uesugi sat down in the back rest area, while Takemiya leaned against the stand next to him.

Sugita Sohei, who was in the shooting position, put down his bamboo bow with his right hand, turned around and said, "There are still some problems with everyone's breathing."

— This refers to the coordination of breathing between archers to maintain the rhythm of shooting.

"It's probably because I'm too tired. After all, I just shot 00 arrows." Hirata Masanobu's tone was very tired.

Upon hearing the number 00 arrows, Uesugi Kai subconsciously rotated his shoulders to relieve the soreness.

He can't stand being this tired every day.

“No,” Sugita Sohei shook his head. “It’s just that everyone hasn’t fully mastered the breathing method that Ogasawara-sensei taught us yet.”

"The body also did not display the proper cross-shaped movements, which means that everyone has not yet learned to stretch and close."
