"~Seriously, even though that man rejected you, you still keep trying to get close to him. Or have you lost your mind? What a silly cat."
The thought suddenly popped into her mind.
As if sensing her resentment, the black, clumsy cat sprang up instantly, then cleverly rolled off and rubbed against her feet.
"My kind, my kind."
Some people have expressed this attitude.
"You stay here, I'll go cook."
After all, the person who helped her was only now getting home, and she really couldn't be heartless towards them; she had to show her gratitude.
"Ha, thanks to the cat, I'm getting to eat a meal cooked by you on my second visit to your house. Tsk tsk, maybe this cat is the matchmaker for us!"
"Ha, absolutely not. After you finish eating, hurry back and purify your mind. I have a few excellent classics to recommend to you."
She couldn't help but retort.
"Something like Alexandre Dumas fils's 'La Dame aux Camélias'? Or Stendhal's 'The Red and the Black'? Such masterpieces have indeed purified my soul."
"you are hopeless!"
Yukino gave up cleanly and decisively, then headed towards the kitchen.
It has to be said that Yukino's cooking skills are indeed quite good, able to go toe-to-toe with Nakano Nino, who didn't learn from her. No wonder she can live alone in prison.
Looking at the cat, who had already finished cleaning up the dishes and was now holding a cat toy and coming over to play with them, she was in a completely relaxed and adorable state.
Her long, smooth hair fell obediently due to gravity, swaying with her movements.
The nose has a high and well-defined outline, and the thin lips below it display a calm smile.
Her big eyes were looking at the cat nestled beside her with gentle eyes.
Xia Yan was a little lost in thought.
Turning back, Xia Yan crossed his legs and flashed his signature smile: "Honey, we need to name our baby."
Chapter 9: A Return to Shuchiin Academy
Just the next day.
Xia Yan then arrived at Shuchiin Academy.
Come to think of it, it's always been Kaguya and Chika who have been accommodating him and coming to see him, but so far, he's been away from Shuchiin Academy for so long and hasn't even taken the initiative to come and see them.
He only realized this after receiving the news yesterday.
of course.
Adhering to the principle of giving them a surprise, Xia Yan had no intention of telling the two of them.
The bright May sunlight shone on the archery dojo, where Natsuhiko openly spied on the girls' archery club's practice. Kaguya was there.
She is currently still the captain of the women's archery club.
As for peeping, it's entirely because he's currently on the roof of the stadium. That's right, he took an unconventional route, avoiding all sorts of modern surveillance to get to the stadium's roof.
Only when doing things like this does Natsuhiko feel a great deal of envy for abilities like "invisibility" or "stealth," which one of his girlfriends, Sakurajima Mai, possesses.
As a big star, she can move around very easily now.
Don't talk about this.
Xia Yan can now easily have a clear view of the area where the breeze is blowing.
Take out your phone.
Kaguya, the contact: "When are we going to practice today?"
"It'll be there soon."
"Okay, practice hard, I'll be watching you."
"Using cunning?"
"Ah."
"..."
Kaguya was already able to win first prize in the national tournament when she was in junior high school. She once hit the target ten times in a row during the final stage, making a real contribution to Shuchiin.
Ok.
Xia Yan was probably still playing games and reading comics at that time.
Some young ladies dressed in archery uniforms have already entered. To be honest, at Shuchiin Academy, almost every girl can be called a young lady.
This place is a world of fame and fortune many times larger than the Starry Sea Academy.
then.
Kaguya Shinomiya appeared at the back of the archery range.
The moment she appeared, the relaxed atmosphere at the archery dojo changed.
The gazes of the young ladies standing nearby were all fixed on the newcomer's every move, and even the artificial straw spread out on the ground seemed to stand upright in this atmosphere.
Wearing a red and white archery uniform, Kaguya, the undisputed young lady of the Shinomiya family, slowly walked to the target.
Kaguya slowly nocked the arrow onto the bow, began to draw back, and then pulled the bowstring back in one go. With precise and elegant movements, and on the correct trajectory, the arrow instantly pierced the target.
Whoosh!
It emitted a sharp whistling sound and beautifully pierced the bullseye.
However, in the blink of an eye, the second arrow arrived, making another urgent sound as it was released.
click!
Using the first arrow that hit the bullseye as the aiming point, a straight line was drawn and the arrow was launched.
"Here it comes, Shinomiya-san's chain arrow."
"Truly impressive, worthy of being the commander."
The club members cheered loudly for Kaguya's seemingly miraculous shooting skills.
However, he remained unfazed.
It was simply a natural occurrence.
They took it for granted to act this way.
It wasn't the brightness that Xia Yan possessed, but rather a sense of calm.
"Next!"
Everything was very natural.
Xia Yan recorded the beauty of Kaguya Shinomiya from a high vantage point.
have to say.
Kaguya-sama is indeed exceptionally talented, a true all-around genius with outstanding achievements in tea ceremony, flower arrangement, dance, koto, aikido, naginata, and archery.
Sure enough, just looking at it from afar isn't quite enough to satisfy me.
Xia Yanguan wiped his surroundings and jumped down silently when no one was paying attention.
Along the outer wall of the archery range were the first-year club members, each carrying a brand-new bow, repeatedly practicing waving it at the air without holding a bow or arrow.
Some people are constantly strumming the strings.
of course.
Members from other grades were practicing against targets, with some arrows hitting the mark and others missing.
Xia Yan moved stealthily.
He planned to ambush Kaguya, who was still practicing on the sidelines.
next moment.
call out!
An arrow whistled past her eyes and flew away.
"..."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, my hand slipped. Are you alright...?"
There was no cluster on the arrow, so there was no danger. But how could he have slipped and gotten it right in front of him?
The apology was only halfway through when the girl's sharp voice rang out.
"What are you doing in a place like this?"
"It was just a basic visit, I forgive you, goodbye."
Xia Yan chuckled awkwardly and tried to escape.
"A boy has infiltrated the women's archery club!"
"..."
Wait, is this the attitude of someone who has committed a serious crime?
"Hey, I'm here to see someone, don't shout!"
That's right, the Women's Archery Club. This is where women put on their best performance. Although there's no explicit ban on boys, his sneaky peeping was indeed discovered.
0 ····Requesting flowers···· ·········
The girls around him immediately surrounded him. If he weren't so handsome, he probably would have been called in as a security guard.
"Oh, is that Xia Yan? Are you here to call Shinomiya?"
Xia Yan looked closely and saw that it was a short-haired girl. She seemed to have been in the same class as him in junior high school, and that's when he recognized her.
really.
It was just a freshman speech.
His reputation at Shuchiin has declined so much that only one little girl recognized him after all this time.
Xia Yan nodded quickly.
