Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

"..."

As the person involved, Emiya began to recall that a certain angel asked him to bake an apple pie right away, and took most of the finished product.

It’s better not to expose her.

"Yes, the Archangel is indeed helping."

"Emiya, if you're kidnapped, just blink and we'll save you!"

Croissant looked unconvinced, after all, all the desserts ordered by Angel were apple pie.

"…forget it."

Sora felt that he couldn't think about this matter seriously and decided not to delve into it further.

"That's right, don't think too much, let's go in!"

Seeing that the topic was over, Angel jumped out again.

She is an old acquaintance at the shooting range and so on, so naturally she takes the lead.

After seeing the Archangel, the owner of the shooting range asked about their well-being and then took them to an area with fewer people.

29 Shooting Range

First of all, the shooting range was a little different from what Emiya had imagined. It was not like what he remembered, with a bunch of people shooting with guns, but with crossbows or bows and arrows.

"It's still the same old thing, only these antiques."

Croissant picked up a crossbow and demonstrated it, then loaded the crossbow with an arrow and shot it at the target.

Boom - the crossbow arrow hit the target, but at the edge of the target.

"Oh, I'm lucky, I hit the target!"

Croissant looked at the target about fifty meters away, on which was a crossbow arrow, and felt that the start was going quite smoothly.

The crossbows used in the shooting range here are of ordinary specifications, with an effective range of about 100 meters. In addition to simple target shooting, there are also flying targets and moving targets to shoot at, but that place is usually used by people who bring their own crossbows.

"It's my turn!"

Exia took the crossbow from Croissant's hand, loaded the arrow on it, took aim, and shot.

The crossbow arrow really hit the center point.

"It seems to be OK."

Although Angelica said that it was okay, the expression on her face betrayed her.

Croissant showed an expression as if this guy is here again.

"Is there no one using firearms here?"

Emiya looked at some of the crossbows and bows and arrows provided by the shooting range. Although they looked a bit old, they were well maintained and their accuracy was still acceptable.

But I didn't see any guns.

Emiya's only understanding of the gun was that it was a staff, and he didn't understand anything else, so he asked Sora who was sitting next to him with some curiosity.

"You probably don't know, Emiya, that guns are basically monopolized by Lateran, and the manufacturing technology is also very complicated. In addition, etched bullets are expensive, so ordinary people basically don't consider using guns, right?"

Kong carefully gave Emiya a simple scientific explanation, and Emiya finally understood that bows and crossbows seemed to be more popular than guns here.

But it is understandable. After all, firearms are also a kind of staff. This point alone has eliminated many people. In addition, because of the so-called Originium skills, the lethality of bows and crossbows is also very strong, and it is not expensive to train.

"I see. No wonder most people on the road were using bows and crossbows."

After getting the answer, Emiya was captured by Croissant before he could think deeply about it.

"Come on, come on, it's your turn, Emiya."

Croissant seemed to have been hit by Angelica. The other two people here were better at using bows and crossbows than her, so she directly targeted Emiya.

The Penguin Logistics Shooting Class is at the bottom and needs to be replaced! Hahahaha!

"Emiya, can you operate it?"

Exia handed the crossbow in his hand to Emiya.

"Let me see."

Emiya took the crossbow and knew how to operate it the moment he got it in his hand.

“It should be like this, and then like this…right?”

He pulled the crossbow open and put the arrow on it. Emiya showed the crossbow with arrows loaded in his hand to Archangel Exia.

"You're quite skilled at it? Have you used it before?"

Exiah watched Emiya's smooth movements after he got it, and suspected that Emiya had had contact with bows and crossbows before.

"No way?"

Croissant's face immediately fell when she heard this. Was she going to continue to be the last one in Penguin Logistics' shooting range?

"I've only seen other people do it, but this is my first time actually touching it."

Emiya said honestly that he had indeed done the same thing when he had just watched others practice.

It's not difficult, it just takes some effort.

Raising the crossbow, Emiya imitated the shooting posture of the others, aimed, and then shot.

"what."

The moment the arrow was fired, Emiya knew that he would not hit the target this time. Since it was his first time operating it, the vibration error caused the direction of the crossbow arrow to deviate slightly.

Just as Emiya had predicted, the crossbow arrow flew past the target.

"Hehe, do you want me to teach you step by step? Just call me Croissant Sister, okay?"

Croissant was a little panicked when she saw Emiya's professional posture just now, but she didn't expect that after he took action, she found out that he was just a bronze level.

"That was a good pose just now. Do you want to try it again?"

Texas kicked Croissant's butt and then asked Emiya.

"Emiya, can you try again?"

Sora also helped Texas cover the croissant's mouth.

They came to the shooting range to let Emiya find a new interest. It would be terrible if he was discouraged by the croissant and gave up!

Besides, it would be a good idea to let Emiya learn how to use a bow and crossbow, at least he would have some self-defense ability.

"Then try again."

In response to Sora and Texas' request, Emiya once again put the crossbow up and aimed again.

"There is."

The moment he shot, Emiya knew that this shot would definitely hit the target, and it would hit the bull's eye.

Boom - the crossbow arrow steadily penetrated the center of the target.

"Oh, Emiya, you are very talented."

Exia praised. You know, the other people from Penguin Logistics had a hard time even hitting the target when they first came. Unexpectedly, Emiya got the hang of it so quickly and hit the bull's eye accurately.

"Hiss...Emiya you...I...forget it."

Croissant pointed at Emiya and hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up struggling and chose to continue to be the last in the Penguin Logistics Shooting Team.

Even though she's at the bottom, Croissant's shooting ability is pretty good. If the distance is shorter or the crossbow is better, she should be more stable, but she mainly uses a sledgehammer and a shield, and the crossbow is more of a fun thing for her.

Texas is second only to the Archangel, at least it can consistently hit the target and stay close to the center.

As for Sora, she built it up through training volume, and is more stable than Croissant.

"How about trying a few more times while it's still hot?"

Sora handed a crossbow to Emiya and urged him to continue.

"Ah? Don't you and Texas use it?"

Emiya looked at the two of them. After all, they came here mainly to experience target shooting. If he was the only one using it, it would not be good for others.

"It's okay. It's meant for you to experience. Sora and I are actually pretty good at this."

Texas sat in the chair and said comfortably that they came here just to accompany Angelica.

"Yeah, Texas is right."

Sora echoed Texas' words.

"Let's go on."

Emiya looked at the two men who had found a seat and had no intention of taking the crossbow from him, so he had no choice but to continue.

The Penguin Logistics guys then saw Emiya hit the red heart several times in a row.

Croissant has completely given up and is cheering Emiya on, trying to get him in a better mood so that he can cook something good for her.

Exia's competitive spirit was ignited, and she started a series of competitions with Emiya.

The ending is naturally Emiya's victory. If it comes to using a gun, Exia might win, but when it comes to using a bow or crossbow, which are highly repetitive actions, Emiya is not at all weak.

After all, he was the ace of the Kyudo Club.

30 Crumb Angel

"Emiya, you're really good at using a bow and crossbow. Do you plan to specialize in this?"

After watching Emiya defeat Exiah with a crossbow and take first place in the Penguin Logistics Shooting Group, Sora suggested that Emiya continue learning in this area.

"Well, although Exia doesn't use a gun, she can beat Exia in shooting. Emiya, you can try to develop in this direction."

Texas agreed with Sora's words and tried to get Emiya to continue learning how to use a bow and crossbow.

"Well...it's worth considering."

Emiya thought about it for a moment and decided that he could try to familiarize himself with it, but it would be better if he could change to an ordinary bow, as the crossbow was a little unfamiliar to him.

"It feels like the children are taking their elderly parents around to experience life, and then they find that they seem to be particularly interested in something, and they plan to let them continue to learn."

Croissant secretly complained as he watched Texas and Sora trying to persuade Emiya.

"I don't accept it! Let's go to the next door and shoot at moving targets!"

Exia couldn't accept the fact that she lost in shooting, so she decided to take Emiya to the moving target nearby for a competition.

There is a huge difference in difficulty between fixed targets and moving targets. With the former, you can slowly aim and shoot, but with the latter, you must calculate the next position based on the moving trajectory in a short period of time before shooting.

And she, the Angel, has excellent talent in this area.

"Wow, it's despicable to ask a newcomer to use a bow and crossbow to compete with a moving target."

Croissant looked at Exia with disdain and said, completely forgetting who had just grabbed Emiya and asked him to shoot at the target in an attempt to eliminate him from the bottom.

"interested in?"

Texas evaluated the results that Emiya had just demonstrated and concluded that it should be possible to progress to moving targets.

The difficulty of the fixed target might be a bit low for Emiya.

But it is indeed a bit shameless for Angel to make this request.

"Emiya, you can refuse this, or reduce the apple pie of Exiah."

Sora couldn't stand the despicable angel's behavior anymore, so he gave Emiya some advice.

"Am I not your good sniper? Are you planning to replace me now that Emiya has shown a little bit of sniping talent?"

Looking at the actions of his teammates, Angel covered his heart with his hands and looked heartbroken.

If we ignore the exaggerated facial expression on the other person's face, maybe Emiya would believe it.

"If you shoot at a moving target, you can..."

Before Emiya could finish his words, he was pulled away by the Archangel.

"It's easy if you agree. Today I will restore my position as the top sniper in Penguin Logistics!"
