About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 12 Tianhai, and the Archery Department

The spring breeze blew across the campus, and the cherry-colored petals swaying from a distance quietly fell over the playground of Mingde Yishu High School.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when school was over. From time to time, there was the crisp sound of baseball hitting in the empty playground.

"100."

Having nothing to do, Sakakihara Raku finished the push-ups casually, and while listening to the English broadcast in the earphones, went to the Kyudo Department with a two-meter-long bow bag on her back.

Since you can't find your goal, at this stage, find something that can improve yourself and do it.

He thought so.

Line pops up with a new message.

He stopped under the shade of a tree, took off his earphones, and took out the new mobile phone Sakakibara Suzu bought for himself.

【「Amami」has agreed to your friend request. 】

Amami translates to a surname—Tianhai.

"It took less than 2 minutes to agree?" Sakakihara muttered to himself.

A bubble popped up in the chat circle.

Amami: Good afternoon Sakakihara-kun (*^▽^*)
Kaomoji, Sakakihara feels a little nostalgic seeing this.

It seems that many Japanese girls like to use kaomoji.

Ah Ling also liked to use it before.

Now it's all about talking—

"Brother, bring me a bottle of soda when you come back"

"Brother, bring me a takoyaki~"

"Dude, Potato Chips"

"elder brother"

"."

In the end, I didn't even bother to yell. If you hit a blank space, it's a reminder. If you bring her the wrong one, you'll be complained about.

She is really the best sister in the world.

Sakakibara thought for a while, and typed a reply: Good afternoon.

The moment the message was sent, it quickly displayed "read".

Amami: Is Sakakihara-kun going to the club now?

Sakakihara Raku: Well, I am going to the archery club to participate in club activities.

Amami: It turns out that Sakakihara-kun is from the archery department, that's great.Are you going home together this afternoon?I will also pay back the money owed to Sakakibara-kun this afternoon.

This... is inviting yourself home?

Why are my two righteous sisters not born at all.

Reorganized families will more or less contradict each other, right?
At least that's how Sakakihara felt about them.

Sakakihara Raku: All right, but, didn’t I say it before, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have to pay back the remaining money.

Amami: No, no matter how you say it, this is also my mistake.

Obviously they are twins, and she and her sister have exactly the same face and the same height.

The personalities of the sisters are so different.

The older sister seems to communicate well.

Since my sister is easy to talk to, why don't I go directly to Tianhai Jiuliuli's side?

Anyway, I'm free, so I'm looking for Qi Mingyue's weakness.

Sakakihara Raku tapped the phone screen with one hand and output a line of words:

[Qi Mingyue asked me to add your line today, I don't quite understand the reason. ]
The message displays [Read] for about ten seconds.

Sakakihara was waiting, and finally got the reply from Tianhai Jiuliuli.

Amami: Sakakibara-kun don't pay attention to her, don't believe anything she says.

Sakakihara: What's wrong?
Amami: Sakakihara-kun is willing to take the initiative to tell me, so this means that it is definitely not Qi Mingyue's instigation.

Sakakihara: That’s right.

Amami: Sakakibara-kun should be careful when dealing with her. She is not bad at the bottom of her heart, but she has a lot of bad thoughts and often uses pranks to tease people.

My sister can actually make such an evaluation.

Sakakihara Raku: Does she have anything to be afraid of?
Walking beside the playground with a bow bag on his shoulders and a mobile phone in one hand, he heard the excited howls of the football club boys on the lawn. Raku Sakakihara looked at the screen of the mobile phone while heading towards the gymnasium.

Amami: No. As far as I know, no, even if you put a cockroach in front of her, she will look at it curiously. I absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing.

In other words, the older sister is afraid of cockroaches, and the younger sister is afraid of things—I don’t know for now.

It seems that the 25000 points are really not that easy to get.

Sakakihara Raku: I have joined the club.

Amami: Okay, then I won’t bother you, see you later (**)
Sakakihara Raku: See you after school.

I don't know if Jiu Liuli is using kaomoji to get closer to herself on purpose, so as to relieve the embarrassment that the two have just met and their identities are very special.

After crossing an old tree with a strong leaf crown, Sakakibara opened the moving wooden door of the dojo.

After taking off his shoes at the entrance, he stepped on the warm yellow solid wood floor and walked into the bow dojo with a wide view.

At this time, quite a few people from the Kyudo Department have come. They are dressed in white and have white sleeves stretched past the elbows.

When the slender hands raised the two-meter-long Japanese bow, the serious attitude seemed to emerge from their demeanor.

With a bang, the vibration called string sound echoed in the ears.

The blue arrow skimmed across the lawn, whistling with the wind, and hit the orange target 28 meters away.

"Good afternoon." Kobayashi Ansai put down his longbow, and when he turned his head, he saw Sakakihara Raku who had just come from the entrance of the dojo. Out of politeness, he called out.

"Good afternoon, senior."

After the daily greeting, Sakakihara Raku walked into the locker room and took off the suit and tie of the school uniform.

He took off his clothes, put on the kyudo uniform he had bought for 5 yen, and put on the special kyudo gauntlets——"弽 (she four sounds)" made of deerskin.

He examined himself in the mirror on the wardrobe.

5万円的衣服、2万円的和弓、2万円的护手、5千的弓弦，3千的箭矢
He closed the wardrobe.

I was thinking about how much money I should pay back to the minister.

Kyudo, a traditional sport, is really difficult for ordinary students to undertake.

In his previous life, he was successfully selected to the national team with a compound bow, and he has also touched a traditional bow, but he has never played with a bow.

This thing is long at the top and short at the bottom, completely different from ordinary shooting, and it is the most difficult type of bow and arrow to hit.

Because it is not used for hunting at all, but a tool for "salute shooting".

In a word, it means that this game is an ornamental sport for self-cultivation.

Similar to Tai Chi.

Sakakihara took out his Japanese bow, picked up a few green arrows in the quiver, and walked to the open shooting position of the dojo.

His gaze spanned the shady green lawn to the target under the purple canvas 28 meters away.

He took a deep breath and calmed down.

The body follows the eight sections of shooting method methodically.

Set foot, hold body, nock arrow, raise bow.
Bet big eyes to attract one-third.

He raised his slender bow over his shoulders, and his sharp eyes focused on the arrow.

The left hand pushes the bow, and the right hand wearing a deerskin glove smoothly draws the bowstring.

Sakakibara stared forward, and the power of the bowstring gradually gathered in the green arrow feather in her hand.

He counted the time silently in his heart, kept it here for a short time, and pulled the bowstring with his arm in an instant.

Leave.

In the next moment, he loosened his grip on the thumb.

In an instant, the arrow string loosened.

call out!
The high-pitched and special strings stirred the hair beside his ears, and a scent of green flying over the grass and soil floating in the sky.

In the distance, there was a sound of "Duo", and the arrow passed through the wooden pier and hit the bull's-eye.

bingo.

With some luck, Xinhe's bow has not yet adapted, and the first arrow can hit the bull's-eye.

He drew a new feathered arrow from the quiver beside him.

And the bow is long up and down, and the trajectory is erratic. If you don't have long-term training, it will be even more difficult to achieve every shot.

"Haha! Not bad, new member!"

The person who spoke was the deputy minister, Hata Masahiro, who walked over carelessly and patted Sakakihara Raku on the back, and said to him in an extraordinary voice:
"Our former minister has transferred! Maybe you don't have to pay back the money you owe her!"

"The minister changed schools? When did it happen?" Sakakihara asked in surprise.

"On the weekend, the incident happened suddenly. Xiao Lin and I didn't believe it when we heard it, did you, Xiao Lin!"

"Ah."

Kobayashi Ansai at the other end nodded from an almost invisible angle, and mechanically shot another arrow.

The target 28 meters away in front of him already has more than a dozen arrows piercing it.

Hata Masahiro put his hands on his chest, nodded, and said: "Although the directors of our school's sports club are directly appointed by the school, they are the guys who got off the plane, but I have to say that Minagawa-san is the only one who convinced me. female."

Sakakihara still couldn't believe it: "Minister Minagawa really left?"

"Gone, really gone, I heard that her father was transferred by the bank boss, and the family had to leave Tokyo."

"Then what about her competition this year?"

"Maybe I will still participate, but it will definitely be affected by my family, not to mention you, even I feel pity!"

After listening to what Hata Mako said, Sakakihara Raku glanced at the bow and arrow and the deerskin gauntlet in his hand.

The cheap bows that I had used for three years before had worn out within two days of joining the Kyudo Department. Minister Minagawa lent him money to buy the new bows. I originally planned to pay her back in the middle of this month when I was paid.

Unexpectedly, the person suddenly disappeared.

Hata Masahiro continued:
"Recently, some people have been transferring schools. A few days ago, they seemed to be the girls from the Literature Department. The last time I saw them was in the classroom in the afternoon;
"At that time, I happened to pass by and saw them having a study session with a male teacher. It happened several times. I have to say that the students in the Department of Literature are hard-working. It's just that there are some strange voices occasionally, and I can't figure out what they are. Night Crow?"

"."

Sakakihara looked at him muttering, and didn't know whether he should remind him of this.

"You don't know? That's right. After all, if they weren't from the class next to ours, few people would know about them at all. Speaking of it"

When Hata Masahiro said this, he clenched his right hand to his mouth and coughed twice embarrassedly, "I still like one of the girls. I remember her surname is Satake. She is quite cute and looks very pure."

Forget it, just don't tell him.

Destroying other people's illusions has never been something that Sakakibara would do.

"Since Minister Minagawa has transferred, who will be our next minister?"

Hata Masahiro shrugged: "It depends on the school. I want to be one, but I'm not qualified."

That's right, Minagawa Kokura used to be a top-ranked archery player in the Kanto area.

Now the highest rank in the Kyudo club is only second rank.

Kyudo requires not only accurate shooting, but also up-to-standard movements.

If the footsteps were slightly crooked, those old men might have deducted a point when they saw it.

Sakakihara Raku went to the second-stage test before, and the shot was right, and the posture was completely correct, but the depth of the arrow entering the target was not up to the standard, so he was judged as a failure.

He is now the champion of the regional championship anyway, so he has no face.

Boom, another hit.

Kobayashi Ansai in white and black hakama put down the longbow in his hand and put it on the wooden frame of the dojo.

He turned to look at the two chatting aside, and said:
"It's almost time."

Masahiro Hata had a puzzled face: "What time is it?"

Kobayashi Ansai's handsome forehead suddenly had a mass of black lines. He held an arrow in his hand, crossed his arms and said, "As a deputy minister, you don't know the news? Didn't the school inform us? Today The new minister is coming."

"Ah?! How come I don't know this haha?" Hata Masahiro scratched his head.

"Shouldn't you ask yourself this question?" Kobayashi Ansai sighed.

Since the seniors in the third grade are going to school, and the new semester has just started, the number of people in the club can only be said to be quite rare.

"Haha, if you don't know, it's actually not a big deal." Masahiro Hata covered the atmosphere with laughter, and then lowered his voice to ask Kobayashi Ansai, "Minister, come here later?"

"Otherwise? Are we going to pick him up?"

"So it's a man, I thought it was a girl."

The corners of Kobayashi Ansai's mouth trembled: "Gender doesn't matter. The main thing is that you are the deputy head. Why don't you recruit people quickly? The number of people in our Kyudo Department is almost at the bottom of the sports club."

"Don't worry, no matter how few there are, there are few prison escape clubs next door? All those who escaped successfully have been successfully suspended from school—why did the school agree to the establishment of this club, democracy?"

"Can we compare with those messy associations?"

"Besides, I'm average-looking. For things like recruiting, it's better if you ask Sakakibara to put up a sign in the past, haha." Masahiro Hata smiled and reached out to pat Sakakihara Raku on the shoulder.

"He is a newcomer who just joined the department. Are you the deputy head who has the nerve to say that?" Kobayashi Ansai shook his forehead while holding his hand.

"Sorry to bother you."

Just as they were chatting happily, a young girl quietly stood at the entrance of the dojo.

She is wearing a standard white dress and black hakama for archery, her long flaxen hair hangs down naturally on her shoulders, and there are only some subtle expressions on her beautiful face. Some male students saw her appearance and subconsciously shifted their eyes to his face .

After she raised her head, her eyes looked around like a curious cat.

Sakakibara was surprised for a moment, how did Qi Mingyue catch up here?

But almost subconsciously, another guess appeared in his mind—could she be Jiu Liuli?

Kobayashi Ansai and Hata Masahiro stopped their bickering at the same time.

Hata Masahiro lowered his voice and said to Kobayashi: "Is she the newcomer you recruited?"

"Aren't you in charge of recruiting students?" Kobayashi Ansai lowered his voice for some reason.

"I promise, if you recruit her, members of our archery club will definitely come in a steady stream."

"Why?" Kobayashi Ansai frowned.

"Oh." Hata Masahiro sighed cautiously, "That's why I sometimes say that you are an idiot who only knows how to practice bows. You can't understand the beautiful girl standing in front of you majestically."

"What are you guys talking about?"

"never mind!"

"Ahem." Hata Masahiro put his right hand into his mouth, coughed twice to break the silence in the club, and tried his best to show his most handsome smile, "Hello."

The girl walked slowly, she looked up and looked around, first smiled and nodded at Sakakihara Raku, and then her eyes fell on the plaque on the top of the dojo.

There are a few vigorous characters written on it that all archery clubs have——

"A straight shot must hit"

With her white hands behind her back, she raised her head and watched quietly for a while, the unique temperament exuded by her elegant and beautiful figure subconsciously made people want to leave far away.

"In the future, I will be your minister, please take care of me."

Is it really Tianhai Jiuliuli?

*
The righteous sister who just transferred to school is actually his immediate boss?
This is what Sakakihara Raku realized within a few days after meeting Jiu Liuli in the Archery Department.

Not only the vice-minister, but the entire Kyudo Department was curious about this new beautiful girl minister.

You must know that although both men and women can join the Kyudo Department, overall, there are more men than women in the Kyudo Department, and the quality is not good.

When a beautiful girl with flaxen hair, sky blue eyes, tall figure and delicate face parachuted into the minister.

Looking at her elegant posture with a high ponytail, bow and arrow, it is difficult for a boy to hide the longing in his eyes.

However, Tianhai Jiuliuli is still the kind of person who is very talkative. When everyone asks her questions and talks to her, she will show that sunny smile to help the staff answer their doubts and correct their posture.

This afternoon, Sakakihara Raku finished drawing his bow and took a long breath in his kyudo hakama uniform, when he heard Vice Minister Hata Masahiro intentionally put his hands on his hips beside him and sighed:
"Can not be done."

Sakakibara could see that the vice minister wanted to talk to someone, so he put down his bow, turned to him and asked, "Senior, what are you talking about?"

Hata Masahiro looked at him: "Sakakibara, our new minister, you know?"

"Huh? What's wrong."

"When I went home a few nights ago, I checked the information of our new minister on the website of the Kanto Kyudo Federation. What happened to you? Minister Minagawa lost to her at the beginning." Hata Masahiro was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Kanto regional competition?"

"Yeah, that's it. In the final match, both our old minister and the new minister scored 25 consecutive shots. Then came the playoffs, where we took turns to shoot. At the 46th arrow, our old minister The minister lost. I don’t need to say more about the achievements of Minister Minagawa outside, she beat all the aces of other schools! But she still lost to Minister Tianhai.”

Sakakihara asked tentatively: "You mean, the minister achieved more than 50 consecutive wins in the final?"

"To be precise, it's 72 arrows. Do you think it's outrageous?! This is the way of archery. If you hit the target with 72 arrows in a row, you thought we were playing compound bows!"

No wonder I joined this school, and when I joined this archery department and met Minister Minagawa, I could only see the lethargy in her body.

Obviously this minister is super powerful, and obviously this minister is a talented girl who is called a shooting star by the outside world, but she has lost enthusiasm for bow art like a salted fish.

It turned out that Jiu Liuli had cast a psychological shadow on him.

"Sakakibara, do you think geniuses can never be surpassed?"

"Talent is important, but hard work is also important. Maybe Minister Tianhai doesn't know how hard he is practicing in private?" Sakakihara sat down cross-legged, with a bow and arrow beside him.

Hata Masahiro also sat cross-legged in the dojo behind him. After hearing this, he felt a lot more relieved: "Indeed, talent is just a high starting point and a fast climbing speed, but this does not mean that I will definitely become a stepping stone." .”

After hearing this sentence, Sakakihara Raku fell silent in the true sense.

Stepping stone?
Indeed, in competitions, all efforts for a few years are but a stepping stone to a championship.

He was able to be selected for the national team at the beginning, but he didn't know how many talents he stepped on.

Of course there are people who are better than him, and of course there are people who are more talented than him.

For that kind of person, most ordinary people who climb up by hard work can only catch up.

No matter how hard it is, it is no match for others to train twice casually.

This is the most uncomfortable thing.

"Senior, in a game, the championship is of course important. But I think the most exciting thing in the game is the spirit of knowing that you are going to lose and going forward. This is the most fundamental element that makes the world love this sport."

After Masahiro Hata heard this, he couldn't help but glanced at his side face. He was obviously just a junior younger than himself, but he felt strangely that this junior was more like him than himself in this respect.

With more experience.

"Seniors can try to imagine, if a game, knowing that you can't win, you decisively choose to give up, what will be the final consequence?"

".The final consequence? Well, lost the enthusiasm for confrontation."

"Yes, the most important thing in a sport is the emotion called 'love'. People like this sport, people love this sport, and people expect players to stand out in this sport. This is the charm of the game. When you fight hard The spirit of the movement no longer exists, and the movement also loses the most essential thing it can infect people—expectation and hope.”

Sakakibara smiled and said, "Senior, can you think about what Kyudo has brought to you?"

"Well, I feel that I have more temperament after practicing archery. It seems that some girls recognize me when I walk in the school. I can still participate in the competition and enjoy the eyes of everyone."

"This is what you have got now, senior. You don't have to win the championship."

"Well said!" Hata Masahiro thought for a while, then patted Sakakihara Raku on the back with a big smile, "The words you said made me look like a junior, usually I really look down on Bian is you."

"No, no, senior, you are very nice."

"Haha, you are still modest"

Hata Masahiro put his eyes on Tianhai Jiuliuli, who was instructing the new member's demeanor. The girl was instructing the new member's demeanor. The boy was a little nervous under her guidance, blushing and flustered.

"Do you like Minister Amami?" Hata Masahiro crossed his hands into his cuffs and asked Sakakihara Raku in a low voice.

"What's wrong?" Sakakihara asked back.

"I'm telling you the truth. When I first saw Minister Tianhai, I was moved. She is gentle, generous and virtuous. Especially when I saw her playing tennis yesterday. It's so... eye-catching!"

"Senior wants to pursue the minister?"

"Who doesn't? You don't?"

Sakakihara just smiled and shook his head.

Hata Masahiro had a distrustful expression on his face.

"it is true."

"Student, you are dishonest. I can tell from the whole club. Except for Anzhai, who only has a tendon in archery, the other juniors all have a good impression of Minister Tianhai. You are also a young boy in adolescence, you will No? Minister Jiu Liuli is so beautiful." Hata Masahiro deliberately lowered his voice, for fear of being heard by Tianhai Jiu Liuli in front.

What can Sakakihara Raku say?
I want to ask if I have a good impression of Jiu Liuli.

That's for sure, who doesn't like pretty girls?

But this is my righteous sister!

When it comes to falling in love, it's not your turn.

Besides, he has just broken up in love and is hurt by love, so he has no mood at all.

Sakakihara shook his head, stood up, and picked up the longbow that was on the ground: "Okay, senior, let's continue practicing. Aren't you going to participate in this year's competition?"

Hata Masahiro smiled and said, "You kid is avoiding the topic on purpose, right?"

"No way."
