In Tokyo, I just want salted fish

Chapter 94 The Rainy Weekend

If the short time when the rain falls in the sky is happiness, then it is loss when it falls into the ground and gathers into depressions with the current.

Although I couldn't read any abnormality in Suhei Sugita's expression, there was still a feeling of regret between the lines in his words.

"Our family has had the inheritance of bow masters since the Edo period, and this profession has been inherited from generation to generation. My grandfather is, and so is my father. As the eldest son, I must also inherit this inheritance of bow masters."

"I have been exposed to archery since I was a child. I have practiced it so far, and I have achieved some achievements."

"Because Ying Lian is a girl, she is much more comfortable than me."

Sohei Sugita glanced at the two girls next to the waiting seat, and then continued to say to Kai Uesugi:

"I won't go into too much detail about the rest. It's nothing more than my strict father's strict requirement on me to practice archery. This is a very normal thing."

Kaoru Uesugi had heard the story of the senior who stopped being in the top ten nationally. With an intelligence point of 8, he began to infer the so-called selfishness of the senior:

"Senior, do you feel sorry for not being able to win the first place in the national competition, and you need me to help you inherit this vision?"

He raised the elegant bamboo bow on his right hand.

"So you gave me this bamboo bow worth 110000 yen?"

Sohei Sugita, who was about to continue talking, was interrupted by him. After listening to his words patiently, he calmly asked:
"Why, do you think so?"

"Doesn't the general plot develop like this?" Uesugi Kai asked rhetorically.

"."

"The dream of archery should not be inherited by others, it is something to strive for all one's life."

Sugita Shuping's expression remained the same, without much change, and continued to say to him: "I see that you don't care much about archery. I gave you a bamboo bow because I don't want you to give up the practice of archery. It's too wasteful of you. Talented."

"."

"I think I worked very hard." Tired is tired, but Uesugi Kai has not given up the idea of ​​practicing archery at present, and it is still very comfortable to draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

"Food fish every day after basic movement training, and occasionally shoot two arrows when you want to relax. Compared with your peers, it's too easy."

Uesugi Kai could hear a sense of contempt in his words.

Sohei Sugita: "If it weren't for your rapid progress in archery, I really want to pull you to the shooting position every day and shoot two hundred arrows before leaving."

Shooting two hundred archers will break, and the bow can't stand it. Uesugi knows that the senior is joking.

But he still had doubts and asked:
"What did the senior just say about those things?"

"I'm in the National Championships?"

Sohei Sugita explained: "That's to tell you that I have experience in this field. If you want to participate in the competition, don't worry, just practice the bow well."

He went on to explain:

"Also, my family is inherited by a bow master. The materials are sufficient, the workmanship is very fine, and the inspection is very strict. The bamboo bow given to you can be used with confidence."

"It's that simple?" Uesugi Kai asked the same question as Sugita Sakura.

"It's that simple." Sugita Sohei's answer was the same.

"Just give away 110000 yen?"

"Our family," Sugita-senpai said calmly, "is not short of money."

"."

Uesugi Kai understood that it was because he was too small and forgot that this was Chiyoda Ward.

"Compared to the value of this bamboo bow, I am more optimistic about the value of your talent."

Sohei Sugita went to the counter, took out a small round box from it, and explained to Kai Uesugi who followed:

"This is wood wax, made of walnut oil, which is applied to bamboo bows for maintenance."

He pointed to the buckskin gloves on the other side of the booth.

"It needs to be tailor-made, and Uesugi-san has to pay for this part of the money."

"clear."

Even salted fish cannot always be taken for nothing.

Then Uesugi asked, "How much?"

"If you order a custom-made kimono, it will be around 2 yen," Suhei Sugita said casually, "I suggest that you can buy a few more kyudo clothing, a few pairs of hakama pants, as well as books, foot bags, arrows, pen powder, and paddles. Yi, stone protrusion, bow bag."

"Senior, stop," Uesugi Kai quickly waved his hand to stop, "Just tell me how much it will cost."

"Hmm." Sohei Sugita thought for a while, "It's about 8 yen, including taxes."

eighty thousand
There is a very serious problem - not enough money.

"Fireworks!"

Hanamaru Hanabi, who was chatting with Sugita Sakura, suddenly heard Uesugi Kai calling her outside.

Get up, walk over with even steps, stop and stand in front of him.

Seeing the long bamboo bow in his hand, she curiously asked in a low voice:
"What's wrong, Kai-kun?"

"It's nothing, it's just~"

Uesugi Kai showed her a nice smile: "Brother didn't bring enough money, can Hanabi, um, lend me some money?"

------

"83215.3, alas, no money, no money."

Uesugi Kai, who was holding a big bag in his right hand, sighed. He suddenly felt that the sound of rain falling on the umbrella was particularly disturbing, "Half of the small treasury has disappeared in the past two days."

The bamboo bow is too big to carry on rainy days, so Sugita-senpai will personally send it to school for him tomorrow.

"Mr. Kai, are you short of money?"

Hanamaru Hanabi carried 5 packed arrows and walked slowly under the umbrella, "Then Hanabi's Qian Zhao-kun doesn't have to return it."

"No." Uesugi Kai shook his head and refused.

"Kai-kun used to treat Hanabi to eat delicious food."

"My brother must pay back the money that my brother borrowed from my sister."

Hanamaru Hanabi thinks of herself a long time ago: "Kai-kun really still wants to treat Hanabi as a younger sister?"

"What do you think of Hanabi?" Uesugi Kai wanted to pinch her soft face again.

"Kai-kun. You've become very bad recently." Hanamaru Hanabi found his gaze and lowered her head slightly.

"Hanabi is too cute, there is no way."

"Kai-kun has never been this bad before."

Uesugi Kai switched the umbrella to the other hand, holding the bag and lightly hugging her shoulder.

The girl's body exudes softness, sweetness and comfort on the chest, and he couldn't help saying softly to her: "Hanabi, don't forget that we are now, lovers."

"Lover. Will it be like this?" She didn't resist his embrace, and leaned gently against him.

"That's right," Uesugi Kai said slowly to her, "Lovers will make Kai-kun very bad."

"Your Majesty."

The cool wind drove the drizzle, blowing on the girl's increasingly shy face.

Pedestrians on the road were sparse, and no one noticed the girl snuggling secretly on this rainy street.

The faint cold made her shrink back into his arms.

The chest is warm and reassuring
Hanamaru Hanabi looked up at his nose, her eyes were bright and clear, and she whispered in a weak voice, "Kai-kun became a lover. That's how bad he became."

"Do you hate it?" Uesugi Kaoru looked down at the girl in his arms, met her beautiful eyes, and walked very slowly.

When her eyes met, she lowered her head shyly again.

"Disgusting" When you say you hate it, your heart is warm.

Kaoru Uesugi smiled.

Holding her slender shoulders, gently sniffing her young body fragrance, the words floated in my ears like a passing wind:
"The nasty Kai-kun invited Hanabi to play at his house in the afternoon, Hanahuo. Are you going?"

The girl leaned in his arms, her face was rosy, when she heard his voice, her beautiful and bright eyes suddenly wanted to close slowly: "Mr. Zhao Zhao"

"Go?" The gentle voice sounded again, without a trace of impatience or urging.

The light and fluffy little head also became lazy amidst the gentle sound.

She closed her confused eyes, followed his movements and stopped, her soft lips whispered:

"go"

Uesugi Kai looked at the little head nestled in his arms, and smiled again: "It's so cute."

With her left hand lightly embracing her soft delicate body, the two of them walked slowly towards home in this cold rain-wrapped street.
