*Sigh*

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

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

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

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

Hey, everyone.
How's practice going?

Oh, it's you. Hello!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Of course!

Thank you for coming to watch us practice today.

And thank you especially for working with the first years.

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

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

No, you'll always be welcome here.

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

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

Woohoo!
Haha.

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

Okay!

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

About what?

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

The next captain...?

Wait, isn't it too soon for that?

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

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

O-Okay. Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you!

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

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

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

Haha! Relax! I was just kidding!

Now that I've returned the key to the archery range, I should head home...

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

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

Me too!
But who made them?

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

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

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

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

...

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

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

I should head home...
