Chapter 194: The Gift is Small but the Feeling is Great (Subscription plus additional chapters)

"Thank you."

Kurosawa Hikaru picked up the water that Akai Sayaka handed over, which was in a teacup.

Because of the look just now, he couldn't help but take a look at the clear water.

"How about I drink a sip first?" Sensing that he was hesitant, Shifengyuan Mirai suggested.

"Then there's no need."

Seeing that she was going to help test the poison, Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head slightly, took a sip of it to his lips, and then drank it.

There was no special taste, just ordinary water.

"Do you want to shoot arrows?"

Shifengyuan Mirai waited until he quenched his thirst and handed the teacup to Akai Sayaka, then asked.

"Sure."

Kurosawa Hikaru realized that she wanted to shoot arrows with him and nodded.

"Go get Mr. Kurosawa's bow and arrow."

Noticing this, Sato Shinichi immediately winked at his student.

Hearing this instruction, the student nodded in response and walked quickly.

Not long after, he ran back with a long pole wrapped in a cloth strip and a quiver.

"Mr. Kurosawa, please."

His attitude was very enthusiastic, because he could see Kurosawa Mitsuru shooting arrows again.

"Brother Kurosawa, this is a bow and a set of arrows that I specially asked someone to make for you, come and try it."

At the same time, Sato Shinichi came over with a smile.

In fact, he wanted to give it to Kurosawa Mitsuru last week, but unfortunately he didn't come, so today he finally seized the opportunity.

"Thank you, brother Shinichi."

Realizing that he had taken the trouble to help him make a bow, Kurosawa Mitsuru took it and smiled.

"It's a small matter. It would be great if it can be used by you. Take a look." Sato Shinichi waved his hand.

"Okay, let me see."

Hearing this, Kurosawa Mitsuru put the quiver on the ground, and then took the long pole wrapped in cloth strips and started to unpack it from the top.

Then, a beautiful Japanese bow appeared in front of him.

"What a great lacquer color."

Seeing this black bow, Kurosawa Mitsuru's eyes lit up immediately.

With perfect archery skills, he could tell at a glance that this Japanese bow was made of exquisite craftsmanship, finely polished, and made of excellent materials. It was not at the same level as the Japanese bow he used in the university club before.

"Because your surname contains the word black, I had it painted black."

Hearing this compliment, Sato Shinichi couldn't help but feel a little complacent and happy. It seemed that he was right.

"Brother, you put in a lot of effort."

Kurosawa Hikaru smiled, and then looked at it carefully.

In fact, the structure of the Japanese bow has the most beautiful bow shape among many bows.

Because when the string is fully drawn, it can be called the golden ratio, which is very ornamental.

In addition, the Japanese bow is also the largest bow with practical properties.

Admittedly, in Japanese archery, literary shooting is the mainstream, rather than pursuing martial shooting.

But if used in actual combat, it also has a good lethality.

With the special design of long top and short bottom, although it is more difficult to get started, the arrow trajectory can be varied.

"Do you want me to string you?"

Sato Shinichi smiled and asked again.

Others may not know clearly, but he knows that Kurosawa is a gifted man, and his etiquette and foundation in Japanese bows are not very solid.

But this is not a problem, because talent is a talent that cannot be exchanged for hard work.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Kurosawa Hikaru thought about it and didn't say anything polite.

In order to make Japanese bows easier to carry, they are usually not strung. They are only strung when they are needed, and the preparation process is quite cumbersome.

"Don't be so polite. I'll string them for you first, and that's a complete gift."

Hearing this, Sato Shinichi reached out to take the bow he handed over and wanted to string it for him personally.

After that, he walked towards the wall, because the Japanese bow was more than two meters long, stringing must be assisted by tools on the site.

"In the future, how much do you think this bow will cost?"

Seeing his back, Kurosawa Hikaru slightly turned sideways and asked in a low voice.

Although it is said that the gift is not as good as the thought, and you shouldn't ask the price... but he always feels that this bow is very expensive. If he actually understands its value, he can find a way to return the gift in the future.

"This is a top-grade Japanese bow customized by the Shibata family. Judging from the appearance, it is similar to my Japanese bow, and the price is around one million."

Shifengyuan Mirai has been immersed in archery for many years and is very familiar with these things.

"That's okay, it won't be too expensive."

Kurosawa Hikaru was relieved to know the price.

If the price of this bow is sky-high, then this gift is too expensive.

"Brother Kurosawa."

Sato Shinichi, who had already walked to the wall, called out before starting to string the bow.

"I'm coming."

"I'll be back soon and shoot arrows with you later."

Hearing his voice, Kurosawa Hikaru first responded, then said to Shifengyuan Mirai, and then went over.

"You should learn how to string the bow. Although Brother Uesugi will follow you on the day of the Kyudo Competition and will probably help you prepare everything, you should still learn the basics."

Sato Shinichi waited for him to come to his side and whispered.

He didn't dare to say this publicly. If other students knew that Brother Kurosawa's Kyudo foundation was very poor and he was shooting arrows entirely by talent, it would be too discouraging and lose his dignity.

"I understand."

Kurosawa Hikaru noticed his good intentions, nodded, and then looked at him.

The bow is too long, and the step of stringing it is quite troublesome. If there are no tools to assist, the effect of forced stringing will be very poor.

"for you."

Having been immersed in kyudo for more than 60 years, Sato Shinichi had not strung a bow in person for a long time, and most of the time he had students helping him prepare.

"it's beautiful."

Kurosawa Hikaru took the bow, looked at it, and truly admired it.

"This bow will be yours from now on. You can take it away or put it in this dojo. I will always leave a place for you."

Seeing that he liked him very much, Sato Shinichi was also very happy and patted him on the shoulder.

"I usually keep it here, brother, but I'd better take it with me on the day of the archery competition." Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and said.

The bow is not suitable for carrying around because it is too long.

"No problem, do you want to give it a name?" Sato Shinichi nodded slightly and suggested.

"Would you like a name?"

Kurosawa Hikaru was a little surprised.

He had named dogs and cats, but not anything else, especially a bow.

“Whether it’s a celebrity or a famous instrument, you must first be famous before you can become famous.”

Seeing that he was not used to this, Sato Shinichi was not surprised and explained.

"Since it's the weapon given by my brother, let's call it Black Wind, the wind chasing the wind."

Realizing the truth, Kurosawa Hikaru thought for a while and said.

"You are going to create your own sect and dojo in the future. How can you take my sect name with you?"

Hearing this, Sato Shinichi was overjoyed, but he still taught him a lesson with a straight face.

"This bow was given to me by brother Shinichi. I will need my brother's guidance and help in my archery from now on. It's good to call him Black Wind."

Seeing the joy in the corners of his eyes, Kurosawa Hikaru shook his head seriously and said.

Although Brother Shinichi couldn't teach him anything in terms of archery skills, he could help a lot with bow etiquette and various things.

"Since you insist on doing so, then do as you please."

Sato Shinichi was overjoyed at his decision, but he didn't show any emotion and pretended to have a mediocre reaction.

If this bow is really called Kurofeng, and if Kurosawa's name goes down in history in the future, then the story of this bow will be interesting to talk about.

The story of Hikaru Kurosawa and Shinichi Sato's friendship is a good one.

"I'm going to try this bow."

Kurosawa Hikaru saw the corner of his mouth twitching and feeling uncomfortable suppressing his laughter, so he said this at the right time.

"Go ahead."

Sato Shinichi nodded pretending to be deep and calm.

The moment Kurosawa Hikaru turned around, he finally couldn't help but smile.

Originally, according to his idea, he simply wanted to give this weapon a name, and then follow Hikaru Kurosawa to become famous, and later tell people that this bow was a gift from Sato Shinichi, which was already a good result.

I never thought that Kurosawa would be so loyal that he would directly take the name of his genre and combine it with his own name to name it.

Immediately afterwards, he saw Kurosawa Hikaru walking towards the locker room. When he came out again, he had already put on his finger protectors, went to his previous position, and pulled out two arrows from the quiver on the ground.

Because he didn't have much experience, Kurosawa Hikaru also wanted to be good at practice. He recalled that day when he imitated brother Shinichi's kyudo etiquette and did it step by step.

Hold the bow and walk slowly, kneel and salute, stand up and take another step, kneel and take off half of your sleeves, clasp both arrows in your right hand, rise with the bow, walk to the shooting point, pace back and forth, keeping a balanced posture.

While he was doing these things, everyone stopped and watched his every move silently.

"Tuk!"

Configure your body, load the arrow, fill the string, aim, shoot, and hit the bullseye with one arrow, and the crisp sound echoes.

"good!"

Finally, when he shot the arrow, Sato Shinichi applauded immediately.

Following his lead, other students also applauded.

"So beautiful."

Shifengin Mirai looked at Kurosawa Hikaru with fascination.

After two weeks, I saw his impeccable shooting form again, and it was still as picturesque and mesmerizing as ever.

At the same time, Kurosawa Hikaru, who was still maintaining his zanshin and shooting form, saw a line of words appearing in front of his eyes.

The task progress update made her heart beat 2/3.

"Is it so easy to get excited?" After realizing this, Kurosawa Hikaru glanced at Shifengyuan Mirai out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but think.

"Tuk!"

However, Kurosawa Hikaru was not distracted from talking to her, and shot another arrow, hitting the bullseye again.

Seeing this scene, the whole audience was stunned and shocked.

It has to be said that Mr. Kurosawa's accuracy is so high that it is simply exaggerated. So far, he has always hit the target with perfect accuracy, without exception.

After finishing shooting two arrows, Kurosawa Hikaru looked at the audience, and finally focused on Shifengin Mirai.

No words were needed, Sifengyuan Mirai met his eyes and understood, knowing that he was inviting him to shoot arrows together.

Perhaps there was a huge gap in archery skills, but she didn't care. Instead, she took out two arrows from the quiver and walked to the shooting point.

It doesn't matter what the level is, what she pursues is to be with Kurosawa Hikaru, whether it's archery or anything else, she enjoys this time very much.
