Maybe I'm defeated, maybe I'm lost, maybe I can't reach anywhere, maybe I've lost everything, no matter how hard I struggle, I can only do nothing, maybe I'm just picking up the ashes of ruins in vain, and I'm the only one kept in the dark, maybe here No one bet on me.It doesn't matter.One thing is clear: At least I have something worth waiting for and something worth seeking.

——The Chronicle of the Wonderful Bird by Yasunari Kawabata

"Have you heard that Kinomoto from Group A of the first year wrote a love letter to the ace of the Kyudo club, but was rejected."

"Hey, do you know that Kinomoto from the soccer club, after his love letter was rejected, actually followed his girl home every day!"

"Our minister, the intensity of training has been much stronger recently, he must be dissatisfied with desire! And every time he finishes training, he runs to the archery department to peek!"

"Oh my god, let me tell you a secret, don't tell others, that Kinomoto, last time I accidentally heard him say 'Fat times come back'! Unexpectedly, he not only sent a love letter, but also sent Fat times Give it to others!"

Taoya: "..."

Mayumi Kinose smiled harmlessly: "Look, if I reject you, the above situation is very likely to happen."

These are obviously all made up by you!Who has such a clear brain circuit like you!

It's just a love letter, why do I feel that there are so many strange plots in her mind in an instant.

Kinomoto Momoya often feels this way when facing Mayumi Kinose.

Sometimes it's just a look, and she may have already lived their whole life in her head, and she can also have a series of side talks in the future by the way.

Just thinking about it.

Taoya hurriedly picked up the chocolate she gave her, and took a bite to suppress her shock.

The sweet cocoa smell spread out, and the next moment, his expression changed again.

"..." He looked at her belatedly, "You didn't put anything strange in it, did you?"

Mayumi: "..."

I really can't blame Taoya, until now, he still can't recognize his girlfriend's magical brain circuit, that is too careless, under the inertia of thinking, wonder if there is blood or sister juice in this chocolate (huh) and so on Things are also excusable.

Taoya: I don't take the blame for this.

She glared at him and picked up the box: "Since you don't like it, I will take it back, and I won't even give you Giri chocolates in the future."

Taoya unhurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder, looked at her solemnly: "I'm serious, I think it's almost tasteless."

Mayumi was taken aback for a moment, no matter what he said just now, his attention was all on the chocolate he made for the first time: "Did you put less powdered sugar?"

"Try it." He came over very naturally.

"Varied--!!"

"..."

"The taste is right now." He passed the box from her still sluggish hand, untied the ribbon effortlessly, and said in a calm tone of "let's use the threaded Okamoto tonight", "Do you want to Try this wine-hearted one?"

Mayumi Kinose: "..." The road is one foot high, and the magic is n feet high!

So the little Taoist priest Makoto was held down, and together with the big devil Taoya, he "tested" the taste of several chocolates.

"Qualified."

So said Toya, the inspector of the new flirting skills.

Halfway through February quietly, the finals in the Kanto region finally started.

In the previous preliminaries, the Kyudo Department of Stars and Stripes High School stood out. They are considered as seed players, and they are not required to participate in all the later competitions.

Although it is not as good as Dounan High School who directly participated in the preliminaries, they only need to participate in the regional finals, and this time the Kanto regional finals are similar to the preliminaries.

Mayumi and the others' opponent is Clamp, but the smell of gunpowder between the two sides is not strong. After all, the top two in the Kanto region enter the finals. Although the two schools are divided into one group, they are also the ones with the highest winning percentage.

It is equivalent to saying that as long as they score high enough, they will get tickets to the national competition finals.The real focus is on the final.

Early in the morning before dawn, everyone from the Archery Department gathered at the school gate, waiting for the bus to the venue.The car I rented this time is very big, not only their department, but I heard that they will also take the archery department of another junior high school along the way.

Sato Rino actually found a small speaker in the car. After the buzzing sound, she said "Hello" a few times, and said energetically, "Have you packed everything? If anyone gets motion sickness, sit in the front Bar."

In an instant, someone burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere eased a lot.

"Minister...we're not going on an outing." Sakai Rie couldn't help but support her forehead, what's the matter with this kind of kindergarten teacher's sense of sight.

Teacher Sanshen gently encouraged a pale-faced member from the side.

This time it was an away game, but the location Mayumi couldn't be more familiar with.

"The opponent in the high school this time is that clamp," said two middle school children sitting in the back row of her, "I heard that the training is monitored by high-precision instruments, and every movement is extremely accurate. All the nutrients in the meal are calculated.”

There are two top universities in the country, one is Clamp Academy and the other is Yingde Academy.

Compared with the latter, which is dominated by f4 and has a clear class, Clamp belongs to the elite, and pays more attention to people's ability and talent. To be honest, it is not very close to the people.

But this kind of statement is too outrageous. She also read it when Honda tricked her back last time, and she didn't exaggerate like this.

Mayumi couldn't help but turned his head and said: "Don't be too nervous, the Clamp Academy is also full of human beings, and the most important thing in archery is the way, accuracy is not the only standard." Except for the three students from the Student Association.

Unexpectedly, that person rolled his eyes and said, "Senior sister, you don't know that. My friend is from the Kyudo Department of Clamp Junior High School. He told me himself."

...then he is bragging.Mayumi didn't care, and turned to chat with Kanai.

The venue of clamp is very large.In previous years, the high school and high school national competitions of archery were held here at the same time, and this year is no exception.

But at that time, she didn't care at all.

Mayumi couldn't help but think that if he came to watch the game when he was in junior high school, maybe he would see Toya in advance.

At that time, I would definitely fall in love with him at a glance~

Getting off the bus and waiting in line to pick up the bow beside the bus, Mayumi looked at the familiar scene nearby, feeling inexplicably melancholy as if she had passed away.

This place is the school where she has stayed for nearly ten years since kindergarten, and now it has become a visitor.

It's almost like a basketball comic with her husband playing her ex-husband.

"Kinose."

Mayumi turned her head and saw a very familiar indifferent face.

Su Fang of Yingcun is wearing a sign. It seems that he is leading the team as an instructor. Behind him is a large group of people, all holding bows and bows in their hands. It seems that the clothes are from the middle school. Seeing Su Fang of Yingcun, stop Saying hello to Mayumi, they all stopped, and Mayumi froze for a moment, then nodded to Yingcun.

"Senior Su Fang."

At the same time, the group behind lowered their heads in unison and said in unison: "Hello, senior."

The sound was not loud, but it was very neat, causing people nearby to look over.

Su Fang of Yingcun didn't talk much, and left after greeting her, simply and neatly.What makes Mayumi more worried is that such a sound means that the boss of the non-human trio will immediately realize her existence.

When she was in the Student Association, she had a very good relationship with her younger sister, Shancan. Later, she transferred to another school through the other party, and as a result, she met him twice when she returned to school.Just thinking about it makes my head grow big.

Mayumi turned around to get the bow, and the two sitting in front of her were the two who had just sat behind her, and when they saw her turn around, they immediately looked at her with a terrified expression.

This kind of feeling is probably like, you thought that the curly-haired uncle next door was actually Shiraiyasha.

Mayumi subconsciously showed a friendly smile because of their confused expressions.

Then those two ran away with their bow kits in their arms.

Miyagi Yuya said with emotion, "I can't tell, Kinose."

"Just now that person became an instructor at such a young age?"

Mayumi laughed: "Our Sanshen teacher is also very young."

Speaking of which, fortunately, Senior Su Fang is already in college. If he participates this time, it is estimated that not only Dounan, but also them will have nothing to do.

The opponent is an existence that can defeat international professional killers in elementary school_(:3∠)_

She also doesn't understand the ability threshold of you earthlings.

The first day of the preliminaries was really a surprise, and the second day's finals were drawn on the spot. Stars and Stripes High School directly won the first place in the country last year.Sato Rino and Sanshin-sensei who got the news went to go through the formalities.

Before leaving, Teacher Sanshen encouraged them: "We are not only playing against their school, but after us, there will be other groups, so we have to look further. Don't be too nervous. Those who are playing against us have already It's the highest level. We've come to this point, and everything is as it should be."

Clamp's venue was too big, so Sakai Rie stayed and was responsible for explaining the venue to them.

After changing into hakama clothes, everyone waited in the rest area.

Inevitably, Mayumi saw two acquaintances who hadn't had time to speak in yesterday's battle, Miyagawa, the head of the archery department of Clamp Academy, and Kaito Honda, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hey, Mayumi-chan, long time no see." Kaito Honda smiled brightly at her.

Mayumi instantly received countless eye knives from the stands.

Mayumi: "..." So she is more willing to accept the jealous eyes from Toya-kun's fan club!

Having said that, she still greeted Miyagawa Honda with a stiff face.

Miyagawa asked concerned: "Kinosase is still a daimae, right? We had to participate in the Kanto competition before, because we got drawn from their school, so we have to be careful."

Honda Haitou said: "It's okay, that big former is a very old-fashioned guy. I have compared hundreds of shots with him before. Makoto-chan will definitely succeed if I use my previous method. It's a pity that we have retired too many seniors this year." It's a pillar, otherwise I can compete with you, senior Yurino, for the first place."

Automatically ignoring Kaito Honda's words, she nodded, "I'm still Daimae."

What was more concerning was that Miyagawa was unexpectedly very kind to her.

With Ohara Rumi's character, shouldn't she discredit Miyagawa herself?

Mayumi was not only uneasy, but felt a little nervous, what was this woman planning again?

It's not that she speculated for no reason, based on her understanding of Rumi Ohara, unless she changed her gender, Miyagawa would not talk to her in this manner.

Ohara Rumi is very good at shaping her image. Miyagawa can ask about the things between herself and Ohara back then. As Miyagawa's girlfriend, Ohara must put all the problems on herself.Otherwise it doesn't make sense at all.

Mayumi couldn't help asking, "Where's Ohara?"

Honda Kaito smiled knowingly.

Miyakawa said with a smile: "She said in Liumei that she has something to do today and she can't come. She will come to see me in the finals tomorrow. You two really have a good relationship."

Mayumi: "..." Not bad.

Miyakawa said again: "Speaking of which, after meeting you that day, I also asked you two if you were good friends, but she didn't say anything either. But she fell like that, I was the only one who carried her to the infirmary. "

fall?Mayumi was stunned for a moment, but instead of showing surprise, he asked, "Is she all right?"

"It's not a big problem. She has no scars at all, and the doctor can't find it at all. It's just very uncomfortable. Fortunately, you came to me in time..."

He wanted to say something more, but at this moment, someone came to remind him to enter the venue and interrupted him.

Mayumi slowly entered the arena with the team, feeling puzzled in his heart, obviously he didn't do anything at that time.Why is she hurt?

Miyagi said "fall", so Rumi Ohara explained to him that he fell down.

If it was possible, why didn't Rumi Ohara plant the blame on her, instead she said that she fell it by herself.

In other words, what happened after I left.

Mayumi's head was in a mess, and she followed the people in front slowly into the aisle, her eyes suddenly brightened, she walked towards the light, and saw Taoya on the stand in the crowded crowd at a glance.

He was talking to the boy next to him, and Mayumi recognized that he was the boy who suddenly confessed to Kanai loudly in the middle of the night when he was sleeping together.

As if he noticed her gaze, he turned his head sharply, and the moment he saw her, his brows and eyes became vivid.

In an instant, all kinds of turmoil faded away, and it didn't matter what the Great Plains or the past was.

Kinose Mayumi clenched the bow tightly, and the sticky feeling in her palms gradually subsided.

There are more people in the stands, the venue is bigger and wider, and the judges look more authoritative.

Thinking of this, she burst out laughing.

My heart beats joyously and intensely because of archery.Boom, boom, it was beating in the chest, and even the hands were trembling.

The excitement is transmitted to the nerve endings, and people become more sensitive.

Hearing someone calling her name, Mayumi looked towards the voice and saw Kosakata Junko and the others.

They had straps on their heads, and they jumped for joy when they saw her look over.

Seeing Mayumi who was full of fighting spirit, Junko stretched out his hands and shouted: "Team leader! You are so handsome in hakama!"

The people nearby all had weird expressions when they heard the name "team leader".

Those who didn't know it thought it was a club like the Yamaguchi-gumi, but now these little girls like to play this kind of mafia game at a young age.

——But the full name is Kinomoto Momoya Behavior Observation Support Team.

Taking a deep breath, the chief's voice came through the speakers unrealistically, Mayumi followed the team and saluted the opponent.

The moment I bent down at the same time, the image of training together appeared in my mind like a flashback.

Finally, they reached the final step.

Just like every time in the past, they cooperated very well in the team competition, and this time it was not as surprising as before.So during the free game, Teacher Sanshen still assigned their order according to the usual method.

Mayumi was the first to appear as a power forward.

"All the seniors and sisters in the third grade have retired. Only the minister stayed. For the minister, this is the last time to participate in the national competition."

"Kinose, what is your bow technique?"

Taking a deep breath, Mayumi Kinose slowly walked to the front line of the target.

Like the countless times I have practiced before, put the arrow on the bow.

Facing the bull's-eye, adjust the posture, determine the target, slowly pull the bowstring, the arrow is to the left, concentrate all your attention, imagine the trajectory that goes straight through the bull's-eye, and release the arrow as if releasing your heart.

It's now.

Just about to let go, a dazzling white suddenly covered her eyes.

Makoto quickly retracted the arrow, blinked, and raised his hand to signal the referee.When she regained her vision and looked at the place she was aiming at just now, her expression gradually turned cold. If she had been one step too late, the arrow would have missed the heart even though it had entered the heart.

The referee came over, and when she saw the confused and restless teammates behind her, her heart skipped a beat.

Only she was shaken?

Flashlights should be prohibited in this kind of competition, so it is impossible for someone to turn on the camera.

Described as calmly as possible that he was shaken, the referee frowned, and ran to the jury for instructions.

After a while, the judges announced that the competition was suspended.

There was a whisper in the stands, because the game was suspended, the audience was in an uproar.

"Why was it suspended just now?" Kosakata Junko couldn't help but ask the people nearby.

That person seemed to know a little about archery competitions, and subconsciously explained: "In this case, someone must have interfered with the contestants."

When he saw the girl who asked him clearly, he was startled.

Where did this bad girl come from!

Then I heard the red-haired girl next to me slapping the front guardrail with a paper fan: "Someone must be plotting against the team leader!" The people nearby glared at her, but she glared back.

After inspection and careful adjustment of the video, nothing was found.

Mayumi's heart sank little by little, and sure enough she was the only one who saw it.It seemed to be aimed at her.

The game continued again, and just as he aimed the bow, the white patch came again.Eyes subconsciously closed.

"What is she doing?" Takagi couldn't help asking Taoya.

Taoya was worried, and frowned: "Someone is interfering with her shooting." He looked around the field, and suddenly grabbed Takagi, "Help me block it."

"Ah? Oh!" Hearing what the captain said, the young guard subconsciously straightened his body.

Toya picked up the phone and made a call.

Mayumi simply closed the eye that was shaken, and switched to another eye that he had never used to aim.

There will definitely be deviations from what she saw before, so she forced herself to calm down.

Trust your memory.

Thinking quickly turned over.

The scent of the wooden floor of the indoor court that was just cleaned, the gap in the barbed wire fence in the school's outdoor bow dojo, when she was about to draw the bow, the minister corrected her with a smile.

At those times, what I looked at with this eye.Memory and reality slowly overlap.

right here!

She let go of her hand, and the whoosh sound almost rubbed against her ears.
