Second-Year Archery Club Member

You're doing awesome, Asahina!
If you keep this up, you might just win the individuals match.

Mafuyu

Listen

Hehe. I appreciate it, but I can't let my guard down.

Mafuyu

Listen

Just now, I released my arrow too soon after taking the draw position, so I'll need to fix that...

Second-Year Archery Club Member

And I need to fix my work ethic to be more like yours!

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Hey, everyone.
How's practice going?

Mafuyu

Listen

Oh, it's you. Hello!

Second-Year Archery Club Member

It's been ages!
What brings you here today?

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

I came to take a break from studying for exams. So, I decided to see my juniors practice. Mind if I watch?

Mafuyu

Listen

Of course. Having you here should give us a nice motivation boost.

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Hehe. Don't mind me.
Also, where are Hinomori and the others...?

Mafuyu

Listen

Hinomori's busy doing idol stuff with her group today.

Second-Year Archery Club Member

And the others are working on some stuff on their own!

Mafuyu

Listen

But since you're here, why don't we try asking them to join us for a bit?

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Are you sure? Then, if you don't mind...

Mafuyu & Classmates

Listen

Of course!

Thank you for coming to watch us practice today.

Second-Year Archery Club Member

And thank you especially for working with the first years.

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

No, it was my pleasure.
I had a lot of fun today!

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

If anything, thank you all for allowing me to participate after dropping in on such short notice.

Mafuyu

Listen

No, you'll always be welcome here.

First-Year Archery Club Member

Asahina's right!
Please drop by whenever you feel like you need a break from studying!

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Thanks!
Then, I might just bring by some nice treats for all of you next time.

Archery Club Members

Woohoo!
Haha.

Second-Year Archery Club Member

Alright, first years! It's time to start cleaning up!

First-Year Archery Club Members

Okay!

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Oh, second years, can we talk for a moment? I'm sure the teacher already let you all know...

Mafuyu

Listen

About what?

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

About finding a first year who might make a good club captain and showing them the ropes.

Mafuyu

Listen

The next captain...?

Second-Year Archery Club Member

Wait, isn't it too soon for that?

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

That's what we said last year.
Then, before we had a chance to prepare ourselves, the time came for us to retire.

Ex-Archery Club Third Year Student

Do your best and make the most of each day! Now, if you'll excuse me!

Mafuyu

Listen

O-Okay. Thank you for stopping by!

Second-Year Archery Club Members

Thank you!

Second-Year Archery Club Members

I hate to say it, but she's right...
If we're not careful, we'll be retiring before we even know it.

Second-Year Archery Club Members

Right...
But I'm looking forward to not having to practice every morning!

Second-Year Archery Club Members

Hey, you won't do well during tournaments if you don't put in the work.

Second-Year Archery Club Members

Haha! Relax! I was just kidding!

Then, before we had a chance to prepare ourselves, the time came for us to retire.

Mafuyu

Listen

(I feel cold...
But I definitely wiped off my sweat earlier...)

Student A

Hey, check out these snow rabbits! Aren't they adorable?! I'm gonna take a picture!

Student B

Me too!
But who made them?

Mafuyu

Listen

(Oh, didn't Hinomori make that one yesterday...?)

Mafuyu

Listen

(Wait, huh...? There's eight of them now...)

Sound Effect: Play

Student A

They're so cute. The one in the middle's bigger than the others too. Do you think they're one big family?

Sound Effect: Play

Student B

Yeah, they could be siblings or close friends! Alright, let's make this shot count!

Mafuyu

Shizuku

Listen

So, I'd like it if you could remember what we did today...

Shizuku

Listen

I'm sure that there are already plenty of people around you who are willing to give you their support.

Shizuku

Listen

But I'd like it if you could remember that I'm also there for you.

Mafuyu

Listen

(Huh? I don't feel as cold anymore for some reason...)

Mafuyu

Listen

(Is it just me?
With the wind and all, it's only supposed to get colder tonight.)

Mafuyu

Listen

I should head home...
