Makoto observed carefully.
Yoimiya's archery skills were extremely proficient, without any superfluous movements.
The entire process was smooth and seamless, completed in one go.
Compared to Sara, their archery skills should be on par.
The difference was that Sara's shooting habit was one arrow immediately after another, making it seem as if the arrows were connected in a string from a distance.
Yoimiya's shooting habit, however, was denser, like an arrow rain falling from the sky, a precise area-of-effect firepower strike.
As all the contestants finished shooting their bows, the event organizers began to calculate the scores.
Yoimiya and Sara both achieved a score of ninety-five points, tying for first place in the competition.
When the organizers announced this news, the audience at the scene burst into an uproar.
Although it was only an entertainment-based competition, achieving ninety-five points was not an easy feat.
What's more, the ones who achieved such high scores were two young girls.
For a time, everyone at the scene was discussing this matter,
saying that Inazuma would surely see two excellent archers emerge in the future.
Soon, the organizers led the two Little One, Sara and Yoimiya, to the front stage to collect their rewards.
In this archery competition, the top three could choose souvenirs from the prize pool.
After the first place chose, then the second place, and the third place would choose in sequence.
However, halfway through the event, the organizers were a bit dumbfounded.
Now, the two young girls were tied for first place, making it difficult to rank them.
No matter how the order was arranged, it would be impossible to achieve absolute fairness.
At this moment, Yoimiya stepped forward.
"Oh, this kind of entertainment competition is just for fun, there's no need to frown because we can't decide the ranking!"
"How about this, since you can't make up your minds, why don't we, the contestants, make the decision!"
As she spoke, Yoimiya took a step back, making way for Sara.
She looked at Sara and grinned, "Although this big sister and I got the same score, she finished the competition in less time than me."
"So, she's the first place in my heart!"
Yoimiya paused, her gaze turning to Sara, "Sister, your archery is really amazing. Do you have time to teach me sometime?"
"Of course, I won't let you teach for free; I can treat you to fireworks!"
"The Naganohara family's fireworks are the most famous in all of Inazuma!"
Sara, too, was seeing such an enthusiastic peer for the first time.
She nodded lightly, "I can teach you archery, but... what are fireworks?"
Sara had spent a long time in the mountains and forests; it was her first time hearing the word 'fireworks'.
"Eh, you don't know fireworks? Let me think about how to explain it to you..."
"It's just, it flies high up in the sky, 'boom boom boom', and then 'whoosh whoosh'!"
Yoimiya explained what fireworks were to Sara with great emotion.
Sara still looked confused and couldn't understand.
"Oh well, it doesn't matter, I'll treat you to fireworks later!"
"But it's a deal, after you watch the fireworks, you have to teach me archery!"
"Although I lost this time, it doesn't mean I'll always lose to you!"
"I will practice my archery diligently, and I will definitely surpass you then!"
Yoimiya was full of fighting spirit; having a strong opponent could ignite her competitive drive.
As the 'King of Kids', she would not allow her title to be taken away.
Compared to Yoimiya's babbling a lot, Sara seemed to speak less.
"Okay, good luck."
This was a sentence Sara had thought about for a long time before finally uttering it.
Seeing Yoimiya voluntarily give up first place, the organizers exchanged glances and breathed a sigh of relief.
This child, Yoimiya, had helped them solve a problem.
Immediately after,
under the guidance of the organizers, Kujou Sara walked towards the prize pool to start choosing a souvenir.
She saw a hunting bow, exquisitely crafted and very new.
It was a three-star weapon, the Raven Bow.
Its bow limbs were decorated with raven feathers, a superior bow specifically used for hunting.
To be honest, when Sara saw that Raven Bow, her clear and bright large eyes were immediately deeply drawn to it.
She thought the Raven Bow was beautiful and very suitable for hunting.
However, just as Sara was about to choose the Raven Bow,
she saw a necklace next to it.
It was a pure silver necklace with a dazzling gem in the middle.
Overall, it looked very beautiful, and it would probably look great if worn, right?
When Sara saw the necklace, she didn't hesitate at all and immediately said to the staff member next to her, "Big sister, may I choose that necklace?"
"Of course, you can. From now on, this necklace is yours, little one."
The young lady from the organizing team also took out the necklace and packed it for Sara.
For a moment, Makoto felt a little confused.
He had clearly seen how much Sara loved the Raven Bow,
so why did she change her mind and choose the necklace in the blink of an eye?
Just as Makoto was pondering,
Little Sara, after receiving the gift, hurried out with her short legs.
Makoto didn't know what Sara wanted to do and was worried that the Little One would have an accident,
so he quickly pulled the other Little One and walked out.
The next second, Makoto saw Sara run towards Raiden Ei.
"General, General, I am Sara... I am Makoto Gege's little shadow."
Fearing that Raiden Ei might not remember her, Sara introduced herself.
It was not difficult to hear that Sara's tone was a mix of nervousness and excitement,
after all,
Raiden Ei, standing before her, was the supreme existence in all of Inazuma.
To say she wasn't nervous would certainly be false.
Sara paused, then handed the packaged necklace to Raiden Ei, "This necklace, Makoto Gege asked me to give it to you."
"He said he hopes you like it!"
Makoto, who had rushed over with the children, naturally heard Sara's words.
Makoto was slightly stunned.
Sara was willing to give up the Raven Bow she loved and chose the necklace instead,
and she did so just to give Ei a necklace in Makoto's name?
Helping Makoto increase her friendship?
This child, Sara, is truly dependable.
The first thing she considered was not herself, but Makoto.
Having such a little angel like Sara, Makoto was very gratified.
They say daughters are like warm little cotton jackets,
Makoto wanted to say that it was absolutely true.
Looking at Sara, so well-behaved and sensible, even acting as a wingman,
Makoto secretly resolved that he must get Sara a five-star bow.
Little Sara, don't like three-star bows anymore.
Makoto Gege will give you the best bow!
Because you are worth it!
