I want Hyuga-kun to confess to me

=========================

This sporting goods store is very large. Utasaki Aira glanced around, basically covering all the current mainstream sports.

Not to mention volleyball, which belongs to the three major sports equipment, even bows and arrows-this large sporting goods store with a full three floors even has an indoor archery range.

Knee pads are placed in the protective gear area, which is on the second floor of this store.The knee pads Hinata Xiangyang used to use were the most common black knee pads. After looking around, he took off a pair of knee pads, tried the elastic bands, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Utasaki-san..."

Hinata Xiangyang opened his mouth subconsciously, and after scanning around, his gaze precisely located Utasaki Aira.

But... Utasaki-san seems to be a little absent-minded.

When Hinata Xiangyang was picking out knee pads, Utazaki Aira was hanging out in this store—she was a little shy just now when she easily broke the defense, so she chose to calm herself down, at least give her face some time to cool down, right?

Passing through the area for protective gear and ball games, she stepped on the long wooden floor, and when she walked around the corner, she saw slender bows and arrows neatly arranged.

These bows and arrows have an exceptionally smooth shape, and the meandering line has the beauty of both flowing water and wind arcs.

Utazaki Aira raised her hand and brushed against the arrow, a cold touch came from under her fingertips, the transparent string was tightly stretched, and vibrated like a resonance after being touched.

"Can Utasaki-kun know how to shoot arrows?" Hinata Shōyo's voice sounded from behind her, and Hinata Shoyang's curious eyes moved from the bow to Utasaki Aira's side face.

From Utazaki Aira's face, he saw a kind of gentle expression similar to nostalgia and memories.

"I have practiced archery before, but I can't say that I am good at it, I can only say that I can shoot arrows." Utasaki Aira replied.

"If that's the case, why don't you try it?" Hinata Xiangyang suggested enthusiastically, "Isn't there an archery range here? It should be fine if you just try it?"

"Eh?" Utasaki Aira was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to decline - she hadn't picked up a bow and arrow for a long time, and if she rushed to get an arrow now, she might miss the target in embarrassment.

In front of Xiangyang Hinata, Utasaki Aira, who is very concerned about her image, refuses in her heart.

"The way Utasaki-san picks up the bow and arrow, I really want to see it." Xiangyang Hinata stared at her closely, his amber eyes shining brightly like sunshine, "That must be very Be handsome!"

Seeing Hinata Xiangyang's expectant eyes, Utazaki Aira found that...it was really hard for her to say "no" to Hinata Xiangyang.

Is it to insist on maintaining a perfect image, or to be ashamed once in order to satisfy Hinata-kun's wish?After a second of intense ideological struggle, Utasaki Aira's brain finally decided on the answer.

She sighed, and stretched out her hand to hold the slender bow.

"Let me tell you first, I really haven't practiced for a long time." Utasaki Aira puffed up her face, looking at Xiangyang Hinata with a embarrassed expression, "If... if I miss the target in embarrassment, Hinata-kun will definitely Don't laugh at me!"

"Otherwise, otherwise..." Utasaki Aira thought for a while, but he really didn't think of anything to threaten, "Otherwise I'll be angry!"

It was obviously a threat, but when Utasaki Aira deliberately made such an expression and tone, Hinata Xiangyang felt that she clearly seemed to be only putting on a condescending expression, but was still clinging to your cat.

"I definitely won't laugh!" Xiangyang Hinata immediately said solemnly, as if he was really afraid of Utazaki Aira's threat.

When putting on the hand protector for herself, Utasaki Aira's movements seemed a little rusty at first, after all, she hadn't picked up a bow and arrow for a long time.After the initial unfamiliarity, she gradually found the sense of familiarity she used to practice, and finally became proficient in the action of tying the straps.

After doing all this, Utasaki Aira slowly closed her fingers, feeling the weight of the bow and arrow when she held it in her hand.

After doing a good job of psychological construction for herself such as "it doesn't matter if you are ashamed", "this can be regarded as showing a different side?", she let out a deep breath, slowly straightened her arms, and raised her arms straight. Take up the bow and arrow.

When she put the arrow on the string, she had the feeling that she had returned to the bow dojo of Teacher Saiyuanji.

*

Although he is not sensitive to all kinds of sports, Utazaki Aira has practiced bow and arrow alone.

The reason is very simple - archery only needs to be standing, so it is always much easier than other popular ball games, right?

Utazaki Aira originally thought so.

So her parents sent her to learn archery from the teacher of Xiyuan Temple through friendship.It's not that she is expected to make achievements in bowdo, the original intention of the Utasaki family's parents is just to hope that she can strengthen her body through this sport.

Teacher Xiyuansi is a well-known master in the archery world. I don't know how many people want to learn archery from her—and such a master has always had quite strict requirements.

Although Utasaki Aira only practiced for physical fitness and as a hobby, Teacher Xiyuanji didn't want her to treat Kyudo, an ancient competitive sport with the beauty of etiquette and strength, lightly.

Utazaki Aira, who thought that archery only needs to be standing, and hakama clothes are also very handsome, finally knows how naive she is.

Under the bow path of "just stand up", there are countless basic skill exercises repeated thousands of times.Even though Mr. Saizono has lowered the requirements, for Utasaki Aira, whose body is not as good as ordinary people, it is still very difficult to complete every day.

But she didn't complain - because someone worked harder than her.

She was not the only one who learned archery from teacher Xiyuanji, but also her elementary school classmate Fujiwara Shu, and Mingomiya Minato who joined later.

No matter who it is, they all work harder and are more tenacious than her, so Utasaki Aira is embarrassed to say "I am already very tired"... because there will always be someone who is more tired and harder than her.

In those few 10 minutes of standing on the field, bowing and archery, it takes a lot of training like any other sport.

So compared with them, she can only shoot arrows.

……

Her fingers clasped the bowstring, feeling tense and tired, but there was also a familiar feeling of fatigue and tension, as if she had experienced it many times.

...Yes, she has indeed practiced thousands of times.

The familiar feeling brought about by many times of practice is transmitted through the fingertips touching the bow and arrow, and gradually spreads to the limbs.

The archery target hanging directly in front drew circles and circles. Utasaki Aira held tightly against the shrinking red circle in the center, and suddenly let go of her fingers.

When the arrow pierced through the air, it made a sharp whistle, and the bowstring trembled slightly in the air due to the aftertaste.

Hinata Xiangyang held his breath subconsciously, and his eyes were fixed on the arrow flying straight ahead through the sky - the sharp arrow pierced the target and was firmly nailed between the red circles. And issued a slight tremor of joy.

Utasaki Aira breathed a sigh of relief.

Although it is the outermost red circle, at least he didn't miss the target in shame, right?After all, she hasn't picked up a bow for three years, and if she doesn't miss the target, it proves that she is still worthy of Teacher Xiyuansi's earnest teaching...

"Utasaki-san is so amazing. When I pick up the bow and arrow, I feel that the whole person's aura is different." Hinata Xiangyang is very talented as a flatterer, and immediately clapped her hands and praised her loudly, "Archery It’s the first time I’ve seen Utasaki-san like this, what should I say? It’s so novel, but it’s really amazing!”

Utazaki Aira could confirm that Hinata Xiangyang had no intention of saying these words, because those amber eyes were wide open and sparkling, overflowing with sun-like light.

"My archery is pretty average." Utasaki Aira pursed her lips and laughed, "But after learning it for a few years, I haven't forgotten what Teacher Saiyuanji taught me."

She was a little distracted.

Ever since she transferred to Shiratorizawa to study in junior high school, Utasaki Aira stopped practicing bowdo.But she is still in touch with a friend who practiced archery with Saienji Sensei at that time.

When she was in the third year of junior high school, she heard that Ming Gong was too late to shoot arrows, and she didn't even choose to go straight to Tongxian in high school.

The middle of next month will be the Kyudo Prefectural Tournament Qualifiers. I don't know if they, especially Mingomiya Minato, will continue to participate in the competition.

It didn't take long for Utasaki Aira's mind to wander, and soon her attention was drawn back by Hinata Xiangyang.

Hinata Xiangyang is like a shining sun: "Kyudo sounds very handsome, Utazaki-san is super-super-powerful if he can hit it!"

"Because Hinata-kun hasn't practiced archery." Utasaki Aira put the bow and arrow back, "If Hinata-kun has practiced, maybe he will be very good."

"Although I thought about trying other sports, my favorite is volleyball." Hinata Xiangyang made a motion of throwing a ball.

When talking about volleyball, his whole body seemed to be glowing, and the emotions on the corners of his eyes and brows were honestly telling the story "I like volleyball".

"Next, we will play a practice match with Yinju. I don't know what kind of opponent this time. I heard from Coach Wuyang that Yinju is a very good defensive team."

"For this practice match, there will be camping practice during the Golden Week in May." Xiangyang Hyuga seemed very looking forward to it, "It's the first time in my life to sleep together, so I'm looking forward to it. Yinju is a very good school, and we need to work harder to practice. !"

"In my eyes, Hinata-kun is very good at playing volleyball." She tilted her head slightly, her black hair fell on her shoulders, and a white ribbon was wrapped around her hair.

"I have never doubted this, so I believe Hinata-kun will win."

"Although I'm not very good now, I will become very good." Xiangyang Hinata was silent for a few seconds before speaking, "I don't want to disappoint Utasaki-san's trust and expectations."

A rich emerald green is reflected in the transparent amber pupils, like spots of light falling into the pupils.

Not perfunctory, nor hypocritical praise, Hinata Xiangyang can feel Utazaki Aira's seriousness.Every time she said this, she held it with great confidence—Shoyo Hinata clearly understood this, so she could only respond to her expectation with a more serious attitude.

So to be great, to win, to win every game.
