I’ll Live My Second Life! - Chapter 181

181

　After finishing the third day's patrol, waiting for Fee to return to the fort was Cognac, who was standing in the Nio and blocking his path.

"Woman face! Fight with me with a bow!"

　Already separated from the commander and soldiers, there were only apprentice knights around, but it was a little noisy.

"why?"

　I will ask you.

"Why can I withdraw as it is!"

　Sure enough, it seems that last night's poker was trailing.

　It's difficult to do a game like this. If you win, you may make your opponent crazy.

"After this, it's a game at the bow practice field at 6 o'clock! Don't run away!"

"all right"

　Fee easily accepted Cognac's challenge.

　After Cognac left, Lemie asked with a surprised look.

"Is it okay? Heath"

　It is unusual for Fee to undertake such a dispute unconditionally.

　To tell the truth, I didn't want to receive any fees. I basically don't want to stand out in this expedition.

　But if I didn't receive it, it would be even more noticeable.

"There is no loss even if you lose. And if you refuse like this, you will be challenged for a long time."

"Uh ..."

　Kuinu, whose black history has been dug up like a stray bullet, turns his face blue and dents.

"sorry……"

　Fee hurriedly follows Kuinu, who has begun to apologize.

"You don't have to apologize. It was really annoying at the time, but thanks to that, I was able to meet Kuinu and I'm glad now."

"Heath, I'm not following you very much."

　Slud thrusts in with a blue face.

　Anyway, as long as I received the game, I had no choice but to go to the designated place. Slad asked the soldiers who passed by and immediately knew the location of the driving range.

　Four people head to the place.

　The bow practice area was a long horizontal building in the fort's yard.

　Only the part where the archer stands is covered with a roof, and the others are exposed to the wind, but the nets are stretched in layers so that there is no danger.

　When I came to the entrance, I noticed that a short apprentice knight boy was standing.

　Is it higher than Fee and about the same as Lemie? I think he was a boy called Hyrule in the southern dormitory.

　When Hyrule sees Fee and his friends, he quickly approaches us.

"Did you win the match against Cognac again?"

　The sighing gesture did not seem to be directed at Fee, and his attitude did not seem to be on Cognac's side.

"Well, it was going to be a hassle."

　Fee tells honestly.

　Or rather, it's already annoying.

　Hyrule said to Fee that he had a sigh.

"Then, I advise you. Don't use the bow he gives you. I chose a few bows that were cleverly distorted earlier. If you shoot, you'll miss the aim. He's the same as me. I'm from a hunter's village. I'm familiar with that. "

"what is that!"

"It's cowardly!"

　Lemie and Slad are indignant at Hyrule's dismembered cognac plot.

　Indeed, I was confident not only in poker but also in the bow and challenged this game. What's more, this time he's even trying to work to win.

　As for Fee, I was rather impressed with the attitude of being so obsessed with winning.

　Well, the kindness of the teacher may not have been very meaningful to Fee.

"Why did you tell me?"

　What made me more interested was Hyrule's actions.

　He must also be an apprentice knight in the southern dormitory. There is at least no benefit to the fee.

"There's no big reason. I'm just trying to beat him and pretend to be a leader in the south dormitory and in various places. I just hate him doing that."

　With that alone, Hyrule left the practice area, probably because he wasn't interested in the game.

　Fees enter the driving range. The door of the warehouse where the bow was likely to be placed was closed.

　Lemie tells Fee.

"I think it's better to go inside forcibly and save one."

"It's ok it's ok"

　Fee smiles to reassure Lemie.

　Lemie looked uneasy as to whether she was really okay.

　When I went to the back of the building, Cognac was waiting.

　There are also boys in the southern dormitory and apprentice knights in other dormitories. Hazel and others looked at me with a worried look.

"Hey, I'm tired of waiting, Chibisuke. I thought I was scared and ran away because I looked like a woman."

　Cognac, who regained his fearless laughter, said that while looking at Fee.

　It was still 6 o'clock before the appointment, but Fee just spoke his words and said nothing. I don't want to stand out this time. You just play silently.

　Perhaps he didn't like the calmness, the cognac's face was distorted for a moment.

"Hmm, it's been clear until today. The rules are simple, it's a manly one-shot game. The one who shoots an arrow at that target and hits the center more wins."

　The one-shot game was well prepared again.

　He probably intended to win the game without noticing the distortion of the bow.

"Don't bring the bow anyway. I've prepared it. Take whatever you like."

　Cognac then points to a bunch of bows given to the boy next door.

　The reason why I prepared more than one is to give the other person the illusion of my choice.

　Fee sighed in his heart, wondering why he wouldn't use this mindset for anything else.

"It's okay. I've brought my own."

　Then Fee took out a black stick from his back.

　When assembled with a click, it quickly becomes a bow shape.

"Did you bring it?"

　Kuinu, who is familiar with the bow, makes a surprised look.

"Ehe, it's actually an improved version. It's getting bigger and can fly like a normal bow."

　Fee, who was able to show off his secret weapon and was in a good mood, explained to Kuinu with his face.

　It's a self-confident work I made with Garuji.

"Maybe I brought another hidden weapon ...?"

"Hmm"

　I got the reaction I wanted from Kuinu, and Fee was in a good mood.

　Slad and Lemie weren't so familiar with Fee's hidden weapons, so they were surprised and didn't say anything.

　Cognac and the boy in the southern dormitory, who didn't know about Fee at all, were stunned and solidified.

　Aside from those boys, Fee stands at the shooting location and pulls the strings that have already been pulled by practice many times.

　The arrow shot with a comfortable concentration pierced quite in the middle.

"Yes, it's Cognac's turn."

　Fee tells Cognac, who is still solid.

"Hi, it's cowardly! I didn't know I brought such a bow!"

"There was no rule about which bow you could use, or would something inconvenient happen if you didn't use the bow you prepared?"

"Gut ..."

　Cognac shuts up as he digs into the grave.

　Then, with a bow, move to the shooting location and mutter to tell yourself.

"Chikusho ... Even if you don't have such a mechanism, you can win if you have my arm ..."

　In fact, it seems that the skill of the cognac bow is high.

　It turns out that the bow he has is not a mass-produced product as in the training ground, but a beautifully made, glossy, and decent product.

　And basically, few apprentices of knights fighting with swords bring bows to this expedition.

　That's about him, Hyrule, and Fee with a foldable, non-bulky bow.

　But no.

　The spirit is upset.

　It was torn by a bow that Fee had taken out and had never seen before, without his own plan. In response from Fee, I also realized that the measures had already been taken.

　This has shaken Cognac's heart now.

　The bow reflects the heart like a mirror.

　Fee remembered Palwick's words when he taught him the bow.

　The sound of the strings tearing through the air was heard, and the arrow fired greatly deviated from the center of the target.

　Fee won without needing to see it nearby.

"Well then"

"Well, wait!"

　Cognac stops Fee as he tries to leave.

"What?"

　Fee's reply was cold.

　You don't have to be so persistent and warmly respond by using even cowardly means.

"This isn't the case! The original battle of knights is a sword-to-sword battle!"

　Fee replied with a sigh.

"I hope it's really the last one."

　I usually run away with all my strength without listening to the story.

　But if it's an expedition destination, there is no choice but to make a break.

"It's natural! Tomorrow, you and I will have a one-on-one match!"

　That's why the game was held until the third day.

　I've already won two, but I don't say a fee because it's complicated.
