Chapter 46 Jiuli's Gift
"It seems that I showed up at the wrong time."

"No, the arrow has been shot just now, I didn't calm down." Sakaki Hara turned her head and glanced at the big character hanging above the bow dojo - [Shooting must hit].

In the past, he would not have missed the target with the first arrow.

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

"After all, you are the minister." Raku Sakakibara glanced around the club and replied in a low voice.

"Because of this, my brother let me only call Sakakibara-kun in the archery club?"

Sakakihara Raku is not the kind of person who likes two-dimensional soft and cute girls, but it is inevitable that she will feel comfortable when a beautiful girl calls "Ni-chan, Ni-chan" affectionately in reality.

But this kind of experience. It’s okay in private, it’s in the archery department full of acquaintances
It is equivalent to social death!
Sakakibara-san could already fully imagine that scene—hey, Minister Tenkai turned out to be Sakakibara-san's younger sister; is this true? ;So much love;
——Thoughts like these and the like will emerge endlessly.

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

Maybe there will be some rumors that Minister Tianhai gave him a little trouble because of his brother-sister relationship.

Even more outrageous, he would say that as an elder brother, he is not as powerful as his own sister.

What Japanese high school students like most is watching the air talk.

Once a certain group reaches a consensus, then there will only be more outrageous rumors circulating among the students.

If he was in this environment all the time, how could he calm down and practice bowing?

In fact, it's okay to let outsiders know that the two are brother and sister. It's okay to call like Ling normally, but Jiu Liuli often calls him in a friendly tone with honorifics.

The context of switching to Chinese is equivalent to a beautiful younger sister calling herself "Brother, Brother, Brother" in front of outsiders.

This really doesn't work.
"Just now, Sakakibara-kun used the half-moon shooting method?"

"Did you see it?" Sakakihara asked in surprise.

"Half Moon" is a term in Kyudo.

A target is circular, and if the entire target is exposed in the field of view, then this is a "full moon".

If half of the target is blocked with a bow, it is a "half moon".

According to the regulations of the All Japan Kyudo Federation, there are no devices or markings with calibration functions on the body of the bow bow, and it can only be aimed with the naked eye.

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

"It can be easily seen from the shooting posture of Sakakibara-kun just now. Moreover, the posture of Sakakibara-kun just now can be improved a little bit. Do you need me to demonstrate it?"

"Please."

"Ah."

Tianhai Jiuliuli bowed his head as if saluting him, and then took the bow from his hand.

She took a look at the type of bow, and the price is about 2 yen for a seven-foot-three-inch fiberglass straight heart.

It looks like a new bow, did my brother practice with this bow before?
Tianhai Jiuliuli stood in the shooting position.

Sakakihara Raku stood aside and watched Tianhai Jiuliuli's movements.

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

She slowly drew two arrows from the quiver, one on the bow and one between her index finger and ring finger.The first few steps of body building, bow preparation, raising and shooting can't find any faults in her body.

"The upper body can be pulled back a little, and the waist can be pushed forward."

Tianhai Jiuliuli explained while slowly pulling the bowstring flat.

She was dressed in a plain white bow uniform, with a serious expression, staring at the target in the dojo.

The girl holds the bowstring with her right hand, holds the bow with her left hand, and draws the bow smoothly. The long arrow is at the corner of her eyes.

The moment the bow is fully drawn, the girl's hands and the bow and arrow form a neat cross shape, elegant and calm.

In the case of a full bow, the stretched string body did not vibrate at all.

How strong is she?
Sakakihara Raku frowned directly, what kind of magical skill is this?

You know, this is a glass bow with a pulling force of 22 kilograms. Even if it is him, his right hand will tremble when the bow is full.

It is difficult for an ordinary girl to pull even a 15kg bow in a particularly standard bow posture, let alone a 22kg pull that is difficult for a boy to control.

Strangely enough.

In the hands of Tianhai Jiuliuli, this glass bow was easily unfolded like a toy.

His hands don't tremble, and his face doesn't turn red.

"Keep breathing."

If others draw the bow carefully, Jiu Liuli draws the bow slowly and freely. The whole process is as calm as the surface of a lake, and as comfortable as a basketball showing a perfect parabola.

Sakakihara Raku looked at her again at this time——

The long sleeves turned up, the serious expression, the pretty face, and the ponytail fluttering behind the girl.

There are eight sections in the shooting method: build the body, prepare the bow, lift up, draw the bow, meet, leave, and remnant the heart.

Seeing that she had entered the "meeting" state, and the bowstring was full, Sakakihara Raku immediately counted silently at the side:
One, two, three, four, five—

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

When Tianhai Jiuliuli put down her bow, many members in the archery field had silently cast their gazes at her.

Even Masahiro Hata, the deputy head of the Archery Department, opened his mouth slightly, was speechless, and sighed afterwards:

"Amazing."

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

"It feels like I've been practicing bowing for nothing in the past few years."

Today, it can be said that Jiu Liuli helped her correct her posture throughout the whole process, and her hands frequently patted her lower abdomen.

Compared to her usual self, she seemed extremely serious in her work.

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

"Jiu Liuli, how did you manage the 22kg pulling force so easily?"

"Breathe," Tianhai Jiuliuli said, "and it's not easy for me to draw the bow. I have to use all my strength to draw it."

"But I saw you just now"

"That, it's mainly due to the breath. When the breath is good, the hand can be steady, and the bowstring can be drawn without any trembling. But the breath is not blindly pursuing stability, but to properly adjust the eight knots of the shooting method, with a certain degree of relaxation. .”

"That's it."

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

"Why alone?"

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

"Want to undress?"

"No, no, wearing a hakama suit is also fine."

"Understood." Sakakihara knew that training alone was to avoid suspicion, but it was still a small matter.

Breathing method is different from person to person, and the methods are not the same in different parts of the world.

The breathing method he is using now is summed up from his previous experience with competitive recurve bows.

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

"Based on the observation just now, brother is a self-taught archer, right?"

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

"How many years have you taught yourself?"

"Two years."

"This is already very powerful!"

"It's nothing special." Sakakihara thought to herself that this is all based on the experience of playing competitive recurve bows in her previous life.

In his previous life, in order to be selected for the national team, he practiced bow and arrow all the time. Studying and eating became secondary. At the age of 18, he won the domestic championship and was preparing to go to the Olympics. But he didn’t want to fish on the rest day——

After he was reborn, his family did not have the conditions to support him in playing bow and arrow. It was not until his mother's job suddenly improved and the family had more money that he regained this skill that had been abandoned for more than ten years.

I got tired of playing with competitive recurve bows in my previous life.

In this life, he is more inclined to the latter in terms of competition and self-cultivation, so he chose Japanese archery, which he has never touched.

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

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

Traditional bows are extremely difficult to learn, and the initial aiming depends entirely on feeling.

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

The competitive recurve bow has sights with high precision.

It's not a system thing at all.

Over the past few years, the fact is that he is indeed much worse than in his previous life. His body is different, he has no muscle memory, and he relies on previous experience to practice again.

And the instructors of the junior high school are also dedicated to the ritual and archery department.

What is a single-minded ritual shooting system, it doesn't matter whether the shot hits or not, as long as the posture is good-looking, it is best not to hit the shot.

If you want him to say... playing with a bow, no matter how much you respect etiquette, you must at least hit it.

Fortunately, there were not a few junior high school students who had the same idea as him at that time. They all relied on a book of "Shooting" to explore by themselves, and won a high school league in Shinjuku District and won the team championship.

——Now that I think about it, this is a victory won by sincerity and enthusiasm.

subway platform.

The two stood in front of the glass guardrail waiting for the subway, with a distance of one person between them.

"Can you tell me now? The reason why you asked me to go to Ginza."

"I mainly want to give my brother a present!"

"Gift?"

"Meeting ceremony, 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 the matter? I usually wear school uniforms, so I don't need to change them."

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

Tianhai Jiuliuli, who stood quietly by the side, was smiling.

The subway came whistling from the tunnel, bringing the wind head-on, and the girl's flaxen hair fluttered gently.

Tianhai Jiuliuli shook her head, put the shoulder bag on the skirt behind her with both hands, puffed out her chest and said with a smile: "Besides, it's just a gift. It shouldn't be a problem for my sister to give a gift to my brother, right?"

Hearing this, Sakakihara turned his gaze back, with a smile on his face.

"What are you laughing at, brother?"

"It's nothing, I just think it feels good to have someone care about me."

"Has Bell Sauce ever given a gift to my brother?"

"She gave them away, and they were all small gadgets. Recently, she has been generous. She bought the mobile phone for me again, and I want to return the money to her."

"Brother, it's better not to return the money to Bell Sauce."

"why?"

"Because giving a gift to someone means that what you give is also your heart. If brother returns the money, wouldn't that mean you are also returning your heart?"

"You're right when you say that"

"So, Jiuliuli's gift to my brother—"

"Can't you pay it back?"

"That's right! Brother usually wakes up early to make us breakfast, bento, and dinner. It's hard enough. If I don't give him a little gift, I will feel sorry."

Seeing her happy and delicate face, Sakakihara smiled inwardly, turned her gaze back and said, "If it wasn't for the remarriage of our parents, it would be difficult for people like us to meet."

"Yeah, they don't study in the same school. So this is also fate?"

"Well, fate."

The subway stopped slowly amidst the beep, and the two quickly walked into the No. 5 car of the subway.

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

"Although it's not with Senior Yoshihara, it's actually with Jiu Liuli. How happy is it to have a new sister? She still laughs, and those who don't laugh when chatting with me don't call me. What are the two guys going to do?"
