Compared with the usual darkness in Tokyo, the night sky on the outskirts of the city is even more vast, with insects chirping and cicadas chirping, and the bamboo leaves rustling all around seem to be stained with a layer of sparkling moonlight, clearly visible.
Kanbaru locked the wooden door of the dojo and stepped onto the stone path at the door. A gust of night wind happened to blow in the forest.
The sweat on my forehead was blown cold.
"Is that arrow okay?" Kanhara Le asked Jiu Liuli, who was waiting for him in front.
Just now, it was the first time that he saw Jiuliuli miss the target due to being affected.
"It's okay, brother, don't worry," Tianhai Jiuliuli, who has a gentle personality, shook his head, "but the arrow was indeed affected."
"Affected?"
According to common sense, Jiuliuli's heart should be very peaceful.
Although Kanbaru Raku has not been exposed to kyudo for too long, he also knows how powerful Jiu Liuli's kyudo, which has a nearly 100% hit rate, requires a strong "focus".
[A straight shot will hit] is not a useless slogan just spoken.
Kanbaru's intuition told him that something happened to Jiu Liuli to make his impression.
"What troubles does Jiuliuli have recently?"
"Trouble? No." Tianhai Jiuliuli replied with a normal expression.
Kanbaru wanted to take a closer look at her expression and face, but it was never a good thing to stare at a girl all the time. After taking a look, he could only look away.
Jiuliuli seems to have no problem at all.
Is your intuition wrong?
The two began to walk side by side, walking along the bamboo forest path towards the hotel.
Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly looked at his shoulder, which was much taller than hers, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't think too much, it's really nothing. It was just an accidental mistake that caused me to miss an arrow. We cooperated very well, Sakahara
The teacher watched from behind and kept nodding his head."
Take another look at her reassuringly beautiful face.
I’m afraid I’m really overthinking it.
Kanbaru calmed down a little and gave up the idea.
He doesn’t have A Ling’s character of fighting to the end just because of an intuition.
"This morning, I saw photos of you as children on Qi Mingyue's cell phone."
"Is it the photo that Qi Mingyue set as the lock screen? Brother, did you see it?"
"Hmm... very cute." Kanbaru looked at her face and said, "Especially when you make a scissor hand gesture toward the camera." She couldn't say it out loud.
This sentence is a bit like a confession. He said it out of fear of being misunderstood.
After Tianhai Jiuliuli heard him compliment her on how cute she was, she didn't show any shyness, but smiled generously.
Jiuliuli's expression does not make people feel distant, but rather approachable and friendly.
And... she's so cute, I want to hold her little hands folded in front of her.
The two continued walking, and the grass peeking out from the gap in the stone road was moved by the breeze of the kyudo uniform.
"I remember that you seemed to be standing in front of a clump of white flowers, right? The picture is still very clear."
"Well, I remember it was taken when I was traveling in the past. I seemed to have made a scissor hand gesture towards the camera?" Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the moon and thought for a while.
She still remembers that photo. It seems that her brother when she was a child also appeared in the photo.
That day Qi Mingyue pulled him and took a photo with her.
The person who took the photo is my mother.
Kagawa Raku remembered the question in the morning and continued: "However, I seemed to have seen another person taking pictures with you, but then Qi Mingyue showed me the photo, and it was gone again. It looked like leaves."
"Qi Mingyue took the initiative to show it to brother?" Tianhai Jiuliuli blinked.
"Yeah."
"Brother caught a glimpse of a human figure before. When Qi Mingyue showed it to him again, the human figure was gone again?"
"Yes."
"That must be my brother's misunderstanding," Tianhai Jiuliuli knew in his heart, but he didn't really want to lie, so he deliberately pretended to be a cover-up for his sister. "That photo was just me and Qi Mingyue. My mother took the photo for me and Qi Mingyue."
Taken by the moon."
After receiving Tianhai Jiuliuli's approval, Kanharale could only give up the intuition that came out of nowhere.
"So that's the case, then I must have seen it wrong."
Tianhai Jiuliuli hesitated for a while, thinking that he should help a group of sisters, "In addition, I want to tell my brother a piece of news. Qi Ming Yue is actually Qi Mingyue's nickname. Calling her that way will make her appear particularly close."
When calling a Japanese girl, you can usually only call her by her last name. Calling her by her first name will make the relationship look very intimate.
How to say it... in the Chinese context, it roughly means calling someone "baby".
Kambaraku calls them Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue, but it’s nothing.
If an outsider, especially a boy, calls someone "Qi Mingyue", he will definitely be executed on the spot with his eyes of ten thousand years of ice.
"Isn't July the Chinese name?"
"Yes, but here, it is considered her nickname. Didn't my brother notice it before? Usually when my mother calls her, she always calls her 'July' and 'July'."
"What will happen if you call her by her nickname?"
"Brother, you can give it a try." Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled.
......
Have dinner at the hotel.
Men and women are separated, boys share a room and girls share a room.
Separated to the left and right, there are curtains and corridors in the middle.
Because it is an old-fashioned Japanese inn, everyone sits together, and it feels a bit like an izakaya.
Because there are only boys, everyone’s topics open up a lot.
Talk about everything from "What type of breasts do you like?" to "Have you had experience with a few girls?"
A shy boy was forced by his seniors to reveal his experiences with girls.
Naturally, I was questioned continuously by a lot of boys——
"How does it feel for the first time?"
"Are you comfortable?"
"Are you wearing it?"
"When you start, will you not be able to find the location?"
"Is the waist soft when pinched?"
After being questioned by a group of people until the end, the boy was forced to take out a bloody photo and a photo of his girlfriend, and showed them to everyone with a bit of showoff.
The girl in the photo is quite beautiful. She is a girl wearing a sailor suit and black stockings. She is standing on the beach, and her thin legs under the skirt are very beautiful.
Seeing those thin black legs, and thinking of the description of this girl and this junior boy going to a hotel in the middle of the night, the other boys who had been virgins for more than ten years were naturally envious and started to boo.
This makes everyone happy, and at the same time, it tastes a bit lemony.
......
Kambara music doesn’t sound like much.
What’s wrong with being a virgin? Virgins are also proud.
This is proof that you can still remain pure in a materialistic society!
"Kanahara, have you had any experience with girls?" A senior who had a good relationship asked him, his voice was very low.
"No."
"How is that possible? Your conditions don't look bad."
"I don't have the intention, mainly because I don't have enough time."
"Ah, that's right. You ranked third in the joint monthly test. You focus mainly on your studies. I almost forgot. Besides, you haven't held hands with a girl, have you?"
"..."
Does it count with my sister?
If you think about it carefully, before entering junior high school, Ah Ling would always sleep with her arms in her arms.
Kanbaru didn't say anything, and the senior took it as acquiescence, and he nodded to himself:
"Nothing is normal...Don't be sad. The same goes for seniors. Seniors are even worse. In the boys' school in junior high school, in the whole school, only the teacher is a girl and the cleaning aunt is a girl...
I haven’t said a word to a girl of the same age in three years... But even if I haven’t touched it, I know that girls’ hands must be soft! It’s so comfortable to hold them!”
——Comes from the fantasy of a senior who hasn’t spoken to a girl in three years.
Kanbaru inexplicably saw such a sentence on his head.
"I want to fall in love with a beautiful girl."
Kanbaru took the opportunity to ask him: "Senior, do you like Minister Tianhai?"
The senior seemed to have been exposed and blushed a little, and said seriously: "Everyone likes Minister Tianhai, right? She is so beautiful, so cute, and a gentle young lady. But if she and I have any topics, we can only talk about it in Kyudo
Go up and ask her a question."
"Want to date?"
The senior coughed seriously: "What you said...who doesn't want to date? Everyone has had such a fantasy...but fantasies can't come true. If nothing can compare to Minister Tianhai, how can we pursue her?
No, I’m not even qualified to pursue her. I would be satisfied if I could just say a few words to her in the Kyudo Club.”
The senior's face, which was hot and red because of eating, seemed a little more yearning.
Hearing this, Kanbaru couldn't help but think of the details of playing games with her on Jiuliuli's bed a few days ago...
Tianhai Jiuliuli is basically a duck sitting on the bed. She wears a home dress, her legs are very white, and her hair is very fragrant...
I often teach myself how to play this character, so close...
Ahem.
"Junior Kanbaru," the senior said sincerely, patting him on the shoulder during this noisy dinner, "even if you and Minister Tianhai go to the double archery competition this time, don't have any other thoughts about her."<
/p>
"Why?"
"There is no reason. Don't think that she has good feelings for you just because of a competition... If you are impulsive and go up to express your feelings... being rejected by the girl you like will make you lose confidence and make you sad to the point of doubting yourself.
...This is why everyone envies you, junior, for being Minister Tianhai's partner, but they don't compete for it... In short, there is nothing wrong with listening to the seniors' advice."
Kanbaru Raku doesn’t think he has no chance, “Senior’s words make sense.”
"It's good to know... In addition, I would also like to know what kind of boy can make Minister Tianhai like me. When the time comes, I will target that boy, and I believe there will be beautiful girls who will like me."
The senior pinched Kuaizi and shook his head, having no intention of continuing.
"Forget it, I'd better eat. Eating suits me."
......
The evening dish is tomato scrambled eggs, miso soup and pork cutlet rice.
The taste can only be said to be okay. After a busy day, everyone ate quite deliciously.
But for a hotel room, the atmosphere is adequate, but the food is still a bit unsatisfactory.
You know, in the past, staycations were all about big fish and meat, such as barbecue and grilled seafood. You can eat as much as you want.
Everyone understands that the school deliberately lowered their travel expenses during this dormitory.
"How about we buy some barbecue tomorrow? Get some outdoor barbecue in the bamboo forest to eat?"
"Okay!"
"This is great! I support it with five hands!
”
"There are creeks and pebbles next to the bamboo forest, and the scenery is really great. If you want to have an outdoor barbecue on the lawn..."
The boys who gathered around a table to eat couldn't help but fantasize, with longing looks on their faces.
Kobayashi Anzhai pinched the kuaizi in his hand and chewed the pork chop in his mouth quietly. He glanced at Hata Masahiro and said, "It's a good idea, but are you going to pay for it? How will the purchased ingredients be distributed? The meal fee will be shared evenly. For some people with small appetites,
It’s not fair for my fellow juniors, especially you guys who are the fastest to grab the meat.”
"It seems to be a problem..."
"This is a big problem!"
Mahiro Hata scratched his head and took out his mobile phone: "I asked Minister Tianhai if the funds for this trip are enough."
"Deputy Minister, you can go next door and ask." A boy cheered, smiling happily.
"Go, go, go and ask if you can. As soon as you lift the curtain, all the girls in the archery department are looking at you, and then you have to ask Minister Tianhai a question without looking at you. Are you embarrassed?"
"Girls will definitely guess their purpose and then cover their mouths and laugh!"
"It's good to know. I'll ask on my phone." Hata Masahiro opened the line and found the contact information of Tianhai Jiuliuri.
......
Except for Kanbaru Raku and Kobayashi Ansai who were eating quietly, all the boys looked at Hata Masahiro.
"How was it?"
"Has Minister Tianhai replied to your letter?"
"Say it quickly."
"Hey, why are you so anxious?" Hata Masahiro said. He sat cross-legged, holding the phone in his hands and raising it, "Ah, I have it."
"What did the minister say?"
A boy came around behind Hata Masahiro.
"Don't worry,"
Hata Masahiro stared at the screen of his mobile phone and read the reply sent to him by Amami Kuruuri: "The money is managed by Mr. Sakahara. This time he made it clear that it can only be used if the training goals are achieved."<
/p>
Everyone was immediately discouraged.
"That's it!" A boy waved his hand.
"Yeah, those goals...we have to practice until the last day, how can we hold a barbecue party?"
Masahiro Hata: "Moreover, Minister Tenkai still has information..."
"What what? What is it?"
Hata Masahiro read again: "Minister Tianhai said, do you want to eat barbecue?"
"Doesn't Minister Tianhai have to pay for it himself?"
"That won't work!"
"That's right! How can you let Minister Tianhai spend money!"
Hata Masahiro conveyed everyone's wishes to Amami Kyūruri.
And received a reply soon.
[It’s okay, I’m treating everyone to a barbecue. I’ll talk to Mr. Sakahara tomorrow and see if we can end the training early in the afternoon]
[It won’t cost you too much, right? There are more than twenty people in the archery department]
[Not a lot]
As Hata Masahiro read out the last message from Tenkai Kyūruri.
When they learned that there would be another barbecue party tomorrow, the boys immediately became excited, clapped their hands, clapped the table rhythmically, and cheered in unison:
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
The girl next door seemed to hear the movement in the boy's room opposite.
"What's going on over there?"
"It seems to be calling the minister."
"Why are you so happy?"
"I'll tell them to stop."
A girl went next door and opened the curtain: "Can you please be quiet? Why are you calling Minister Tianhai all the time?"
No one paid attention to her.
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
"Minister Tianhai!"
The girl looked at Shen Yuanle, who was eating calmly and seemed normal, and asked, "Have you been possessed?"
Kanbaru held the kuaizi and the bowl and shrugged: "Absolutely."
......
It's 11 o'clock in the evening. After a busy day of training, everyone no longer has much energy to check their mobile phones. After taking a shower, most of them just lie down on the floor that was laid in the morning.
Kagura Raku also plans to recharge his batteries and have a good sleep.
But before she slept for an hour, Kanhara received a message.
It’s the seventh bright moon again.
Tianhai Qimingyue: [Come here]
[Why do you want to go there?] Kanbaru squinted his eyes and typed to answer.
Seven Bright Moons in the Sky:[Picture]
Kanbaru looked at the screen of his mobile phone, his eyes widened, and he got up from the floor of the boys' dormitory.
