Under Makoto's guidance, Qiqi also learned by example, raising his hand to shoot an arrow.
He looked up at Makoto and asked in a soft voice, "Makoto... is this right?"
Makoto looked in the direction Qiqi was pointing.
The arrow hit the bullseye precisely.
"Qiqi, you did very well!"
Makoto paused, a hint of regret in his voice: "However, you hit another competitor's bullseye, so there are no points for that.
You must hit the target in front of you, understand?"
Little Qiqi nodded repeatedly upon hearing this: "Qiqi... understands."
After this, Makoto taught Shenhe, Beidou, and Keqing some things about using a bow and arrow.
Beidou had a lot of strength, pulling the bowstring taut every time.
Makoto was afraid he would snap the bowstring and told him to just rein in his strength a bit.
Beidou pouted and said weakly, "Bows and arrows aren't really for me. In my opinion, Claymore are much more interesting!"
Shenhe also nodded: "Having gotten used to using a spear, I'm indeed a bit unaccustomed to this kind of weapon, but it's also a form of training."
Keqing, who was beside them, couldn't sit still. She ran over and said angrily, "Beidou, Shenhe, you can't monopolize Brother Makoto!"
"What I mean is... Brother Makoto doesn't even have time to teach me archery!"
Looking at these little girls bickering, Makoto didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Adhering to the principle of fairness, Makoto said with a wry smile, "little girls, I will teach you seriously, don't worry."
As for Sara, Makoto didn't give much guidance.
Because Sara had hunted with a hunting bow since she was little, she was very clear about the precautions.
Compared to the other Little Ones, Makoto was much more at ease with Sara.
Soon, the archery competition officially began.
The competition involved shooting a total of ten arrows.
Points were awarded for hitting the target's score zones, and the total score was calculated after ten arrows.
The Little Ones weren't tall enough, so they had to stand on small stools to shoot arrows.
The Little Ones couldn't climb onto the stools, so Makoto had to carry them onto the stools one by one.
Then he stood quietly to the side, protecting these little girls.
Little Qiqi's first three arrows were quite good, all hitting the bullseye.
However, later his attention was drawn by a Little Sparrow, causing the next few arrows to miss.
Qiqi's total score was thirty points.
As for Beidou, Shenhe, and Keqing,
Although the three little girls concentrated on the competition, due to it being their first time shooting arrows,
Lack of experience led to their scores being rather mediocre.
The three little girls' scores were all around fifty points.
However, the three little girls were quite happy.
After all, they didn't expect to be in the top three on their first try at archery.
It's all about participation, isn't it?
After spending a long time with Makoto, the little girls' mindsets also became quite optimistic.
On the other hand, Sara displayed exquisite archery from the start.
After all, having used a bow and arrow since childhood, her Proficiency was very high.
Coupled with the heritage of the Tengu bloodline,
These advantages gave Sara a unique edge in the field of archery.
Sara's five consecutive arrows all landed near the bullseye,
And her shooting speed was extremely fast.
Often, as soon as the first arrow was shot, the second arrow was already close behind.
Five arrows in quick succession.
This scene naturally drew exclamations from the onlookers.
No one expected a child to have such formidable archery skills.
Immediately after, the crowd present once again gasped in surprise.
Because besides Sara, there was another person whose archery was equally impressive.
Also five arrows in quick succession, and precisely landing near the target.
Most importantly, the girl looked to be about the same age as Sara.
A more noticeable feature was the girl's light yellow hair,
And she was wearing a fiery red outfit with splendid fireworks patterns on it.
Looking at that little girl, Makoto instinctively raised an eyebrow.
Yoimiya of Naganohara Fireworks?
