[Comprehensive] Straighten this arrow!

So you clothe me with your gestures,

And I learned to live in the wind.し

——Sofia Andresen, "To Walk With You Through the Wasteland of the World"

The gentleman showed some surprise, "So, is the direction determined?"

Tao Ya said: "Seniors in the department all have to take the unified examination, no one came, and finally it fell on me."

Mr. Tezuka shook his head: "You have so many choices, but you chose this one, doesn't it mean that you are still interested in it?"

Taoya was taken aback.

Mr. Tezuka changed the subject again: "So, now, will you still see those things?"

Toya nodded silently.

"Really... It's been so many years since the fire." Mr. Tezuka said with emotion, "You two are also destined."

"Who?" Taoya was a little confused.

"The little girl who was with you in the dojo last time, I can't recognize her even if she doesn't say her mother's name. The girl's appearance has really changed a lot."

"Did you forget? The little girl who was separated from her family in my office at that time."

Mr. Tezuka suddenly mentioned it, and Toya, who has a very good memory, immediately remembered it.

At that time, he was lured into a wooden house in the suburbs by a ghost with malicious intentions. As soon as he entered, the door was locked, and the house caught fire instantly.

It was Mr. Madara who saved him, but things were also very troublesome. The fire started strangely, and some media watched him to death. Later, Mr. Tezuka helped him deal with a series of follow-ups.

"These are not what you, a child, should bear." Mr. Tezuka said.

"The investigation is going through normal procedures, but we will try our best to mediate and cover up. I have already called your parents to say that it is safe. Because of those reporters, you should stay here for a while. As for those who can see those things In the future, I will only tell people I trust very much.”

Tao Ya nodded.

There was a knock on the door, and the policeman led a little girl in helplessly.

Mr. Tezuka frowned.

"what happened?"

"Superintendent, she can't be placed in our office anymore. She can memorize the files on the table in a while. We have so many things to do, who cares about them, and there are documents everywhere, so we can't just let her read the files. You are the one with the bigger place in our bureau, you can't throw the little girl into the detention room, can you?"

Mr. Tezuka asked, "What's going on with her?"

"I got separated from my family, and the parents are rushing over. Just let her stay with you for a while."

Mr. Tezuka nodded: "Okay, okay, I will help you look after the children. I'm just here to relax."

Knowing that the boss agreed, the policeman said with a playful smile, "How can I, please." The policeman subconsciously glanced at Taoya.

Mr. Tezuka waved his hand: "Hurry up and get out, don't inquire about things you can't inquire about."

When the policeman was about to leave, he couldn't help but said: "He's just..." Before he could finish speaking, a girl's childish voice suddenly sounded in the office.

"Mr. Irino, I haven't said just now, there are three typos in your report, which are in..."

The police officer quickly closed the door as if fleeing.

Taoya turned her head and whispered, "Thank you."

Then the girl glanced sideways at him.

"Who are you?"

Taoya: "..."

There is no way to connect the two together!What's the big change in appearance, it's a completely different person!

So what exactly did Kinose Mayumi go through to change from that stinky little girl to what she is now...

Taoya said in pain: "I remembered."

Mr. Tezuka asked again: "Why did that little girl suddenly start to learn how to bow?"

"Senior Sato from our school's Kyudo club..." Toya swallowed "Turned in", "I found out that I have talent, so I invited her to join the club."

Mr. Tezuka asked, "That Sato from Honda?"

"Yes."

Mr. Tezuka looked at Taoya with a heartbroken gaze.

"Your girlfriend is so talented, why didn't you abduct her to our school earlier, and let her learn the basics of that fellow Honda?"

"..." Taoya subconsciously chose not to explain the relationship, "She has only been studying for a few months, and she hasn't gone deep into the genre yet. If you want, you can take a good look at it in the national competition."

Mr. Tezuka stared at Taoya for a while, then suddenly said: "Tell me, how long is this training camp?"

Taoya said: "One month."

Mr. Tezuka smiled: "You have so much confidence in her, you can go to the national competition after only a few months of study? Brat, you are turning a corner and asking me to take care of her. If you really think so, train hard during this time , The mentioning is over, and it's time to rush over to watch her compete."

Toya held back her smile and nodded very seriously.

After the murder, Kudo Shinichi's situation unexpectedly improved.Everyone is young, and they don't believe in the physique of the god of death, because those powerful reasonings are somewhat convinced of Kudo's identity as a detective, and in the next few days, they gradually accepted him.

However, except for one who did it without a trace.

Taoya raised her head and saw the almost materialized walking black air in the air at the corner ahead, and silently changed her way.

The November Hundred Shooting Fair has begun.

Today is the day she and the minister agreed upon. If she wins the Baishe Club, she will be able to participate in the national competition.

"Here, Kinose, draw lots for the target number." Yuya Miyagi handed the lottery container to Mayumi with her head bowed.

Mayumi Kinose raised his head slowly, looked at him with Usagi-chan's eyes, drew a lot mechanically, saw the big "4" on it, and his face darkened again.

"Are you so nervous?" Miyagi Yuya shouted in a fuss.

Mayumi had a frustrated face.

It's just the Hundred Shooting Club. Although it was an agreement with the minister to show her strength, she has never slacked off before this. This test is actually very simple.She is also very confident.

The main reason is that now her heart can't calm down at all.

Her phone was finally fixed.As a result, as soon as it was turned on, it was blown up by a missed call from Taoya, which made the whole person feel bad.

She actually missed Toya-kun's call!

Can she expect him to be not angry or willing to be friends with her?

Mayumi called back with trembling hands, but this time it was Momoya who turned off the phone.

For, why qaq.

In an instant, Mayumi Kinose imagined the tragedies of two people passing each other in various fancy ways on the streets of this city, and all kinds of tragedies of separation.

"Kyudo is a spiritual competition. Kinose, what is your bow and arrow for?"

Sakai Rie's voice suddenly sounded beside him.

What was her bow and arrow drawn for?

——Kyudo is your own battle, which allows you to re-understand yourself and achieve true spiritual independence.Mayumi, have you ever thought about what you really want?

In the beginning, she did join the Kyudo Club for Toya-kun.Because she joined the Kyudo Club, she decided to work hard for the minister.

These seem to be for other people.

What about what you really want.

If all she wanted was Taoya's love, there was no need for her to work so hard in bow art.If it's just to repay the minister, she doesn't have to participate in the national competition.

All along, she seems to have everything, as long as it is what she wants, mom and dad will try their best to find it for her.

However, what she really wanted was suppressed by her. After a long time, even she herself forgot.

She doesn't seem to be as indifferent as she imagined, nor is she as independent as she imagined.

Because of what Ohara did to herself, she almost escaped and left Clamp Academy, and because of her parents who were separated from each other, she finally chose to escape to Tomoeda Town. She only stayed with her mother during the holidays, and returned to her father when she was in school. escaped.

But when I met Taoya, all these seemed to come alive.

She liked Taoya, and it was brewing in her heart, and it slowly fermented to an extent that she couldn't even imagine. For the first time, she had the idea of ​​getting closer.

Because of Taoya, she got to know everyone in the Kyudo Club. This kind of purely working hard for a goal is completely different from the literature club in Clamp Academy.

Her bow is drawn for herself.

It's not that she wants to use this to win Taoya's liking, nor is it that she really wants to pursue some real self, but that she really really likes this kind of sport in the process.

She stands in front of the target, draws the bow and sets the arrow.

As long as you stand in front of the target, you can forget everything. There is only yourself in the world, and there is only the simple goal of hitting the bull's-eye.

Center of gravity, fixed.

Calm down, take a deep breath, keep your mind clear, aim for the bullseye...

All the stagnation before was for the last moment, let go of the string, and everything was vented, turning into the most beautiful arc.

——One hundred arrows, in the later stage, you will definitely not have much strength, then the rhythm will slow down.At that time, whether you can shoot accurately depends on luck.

——So, have your own rhythm.

her rhythm?

Makoto puts the arrow on the bow.

"Taoya."

Pull up the string.

"me……"

Let go, and the arrow hits the bull's-eye.

"I like you very much."

"...So you just confessed in your heart a hundred times?" Fujioka looked at her as if he had seen a ghost.

Mayumi also felt too ashamed now.Couldn't help but cover his face.

"However, this is my sense of rhythm, because I read it like this every night before going to bed, and it is very effective."

"So, you are frustrated in love now, but proud in the dojo? Congratulations, Miss Kinose, you can participate in the national competition."

"However, your Taoya-kun will be training for a month, and you won't be able to see it at all."

Mayumi:_(:3∠)_
