This arrow-throwing game is a lot tougher than it looks.

If the arrow is too light, the trajectory of the arrow will be skewed if the wind blows slightly. Without certain skills, it is impossible to keep the arrow flying smoothly.

Soon, all the 10 arrows Qingdeng bought were thrown out - nothing was caught and nothing was hit.

But Qingdeng doesn’t care much about the results of the game.

Firstly, he was not interested in any of the prizes on the shelf.

Secondly, the reason why he came to play was purely to "seduce" Sanako, who wanted to play but couldn't let go, to try this game.

When Qingto was playing games, Sanako watched the whole thing very seriously without blinking.

She probably didn't even notice... Whenever Qingdeng aimed an arrow and prepared to throw it, she would unconsciously clench her hands folded in front of her slightly because of her nervousness.

Although she said she was not interested in this game, her little actions betrayed her true inner thoughts.

"Miss Sanako."

Qingto, who had been paying attention to Sanako's every move, smiled and took out a handful of copper coins from his purse, and stuffed them into Sanako's little hand without any explanation.

"Come and play too, it's quite interesting."

"Hey, I..."

Sanako subconsciously wanted to refuse.

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she paused.

I saw her looking back and forth with erratic eyes and squirming at the same time.

Qingden noticed that Sanako's eyes seemed to be focused on a certain prize on the shelf of the stall.

So I followed her line of sight and looked there - the thing that was lucky enough to receive Sanako's special attention was a very cute and honest white Lucky Cat.

"That……"

At this time, Sanako finally spoke up.

She bit her teeth and said slowly:

"Then I'll... try 10 arrows first..."

"Okay!" The bald boss laughed boldly as he counted out 10 arrows and handed them to Sanako. "If you like any prize, just throw it away! As long as you can hit it, it's yours!"

Sanako's movements were very crisp and crisp.

She made a "ha" sound, adjusted her breathing rhythm, then neatly drew out an arrow and pointed it at the white lucky cat she had been peeking at just now.

The first time the arrow was thrown - it missed.

"Huh?"

After a brief pause, Sanako immediately picked up the second arrow and aimed it at the Lucky Cat again.

The second arrow - missed...

"……Um?"

Perhaps realizing that this game was much more difficult than she thought, Sanako straightened her waist, which was already as straight as a pine tree.

His expression was solemn.

The movements of raising and throwing arrows have also become more straight.

However, these actions of Sanako were of no use at all.

Her throwing level didn't get much better as a result.

The arrows thrown out would either fall down before they reached the shelf, or the arrow path would be distorted and fly hundreds of thousands of miles away.

But Sanako was not discouraged.

Repeated battles and defeats...but repeated defeats and battles.

Although she couldn't see her face because she was wearing a mask with only one pair of eyes exposed, Qingto could clearly feel that Sanako's expression was always calm.

He didn't show any anxiety or impatience because of his poor throwing level and poor "results".

Whether it's taking an arrow or aiming it; whether it's throwing it or taking a short rest... every move Sanako makes is so graceful that you never get tired of it.

The so-called "temperament" is really a very mysterious thing.

The same set of actions can produce different feelings for different people.

Sanako is one of those people who, even if she is squatting on the street eating stinky tofu, can still get the aura of "a goddess eating pearls and pearls".

Even though her face is covered by a mask, Sanako's elegant and compelling temperament can't be concealed.

As if affected by Sanako's elegant aura, the flow of time around her seemed to slow down from the moment Sanako threw the first arrow.

Sanako has become the undoubted "origin" of this space.

Qingto, the bald boss, and almost all the spectators and players around him unconsciously focused their attention on Sanako, admiring Sanako's pleasing appearance and behavior.

Sanako was completely unaware of these changes in the outside world - all her attention was focused on the arrows in her hands and the game in front of her.

Unknowingly, there was only one arrow left in Sanako's hand.

Even though there was only one last chance left, Sanako still did not exude any negative emotions.

Rather... her fighting spirit seems to be even higher.

A faint aura of awe could be seen, bursting out from her beautiful eyes exposed outside the mask.

She weighed the last arrow in her hand, then raised the arrow and pointed the arrow at the white Lucky Cat on the top shelf again.

Sanako had only one goal from beginning to end: the white Lucky Cat on the top shelf.

Every arrow she throws is directed towards this cute Lucky Cat.

At this time, Qingden suddenly thought: Could it be that... Sanako doesn't want to play this game, but wants the Lucky Cat?

Just as Qing Teng was thinking about this in his mind, Sanako's right arm drew a beautiful arc - the arrow leaving the arm instantly cut everyone's field of vision horizontally.

Maybe Sanako finally figured out the trick to throwing, or maybe it was just pure luck.

This last arrow... finally succeeded in hitting the white Lucky Cat!

"congratulations!"

The bald boss shook the rattle in his hand vigorously and said to Sanako with a bright smile:

"You hit the Lucky Cat! Now the Lucky Cat is yours!"

Sanako didn't seem to expect that he would succeed.

She was stunned for a moment, and then reacted slowly, subconsciously holding her two small hands clenched into fists in front of the bear, and shouted excitedly:

"OK, successful!"

After shouting, Sana Zifang realized that he seemed to have accidentally done something very rude.

A look of embarrassment appeared on her face, her eyes flashed hastily, she hurriedly released her fists in front of the bear and cleared her throat, pretending that nothing happened.

"Come on! Get it!"

The bald boss took the white Lucky Cat off the shelf and handed it to Sanako with both hands.

"Master Samurai, young lady, do you want to continue playing?"

"No." Sanako shook his head without thinking.

Qingto brought Sanako to this stall just so that Sanako could let go of his reserve and enjoy tonight's grand ceremony. Now that his purpose had been achieved, he shook his head: "I won't go either."

"Oh! Then if you want to continue playing in the future, please come back and take care of my business!"

After saying this with a professional smile, the bald boss squinted his eyes and glanced at Qingdeng with a meaningful look...

…

…

Qingto and Sanako left the bald boss's stall one after the other.

Sanako held the white Lucky Cat in both hands, lowered her head and looked at the "cat" while gently stroking the "cat's" eyes, nose, and mouth with her fingers as tender as green onions.

Sanako seems to really like this lucky cat.

A childlike smile appeared in his eyes that were deeply hidden by the mask.

Qingto folded his arms and looked at Sanako, who was still "looking at each other" with the Lucky Cat, as if he were appreciating a work of art.

At this moment, Qingden felt as if he had "a new understanding of Sanako."

The image Sanako has always displayed to the outside world has always been that of elegance, grace, and knowledge, the perfect embodiment of the term "Yamato Nadeshiko".

Qingden has long been accustomed to Sanako like this.

Therefore, whether it was Sanako shouting out happily just now, or now looking at a Lucky Cat happily, it brought a different kind of... touch to Qingto.

It was the first time that he saw Sanako showing such a...childish side.

Not only was it surprising, it was also quite interesting.

The lines on Qingdeng's face slowly relaxed unconsciously, and the relaxed lines turned into a shallow smile.

…

…

Thanks to the "arrow throwing game" just now, Sanako has relaxed a lot.

Although I am still a little cautious, I no longer have a strong objection to playing in every game stall and eating and drinking in every food stall.

The two of them ate, drank and had fun while heading towards Ryogoku Bridge, the place where the fireworks were set off.

After stopping and walking, when we arrived at the most famous bridge in Edo, it happened to be almost the time for the fireworks to be set off - in about 5 minutes, the colorful fireworks will light up the entire night sky.
