"Your Majesty."

The weak voice is also buzzing and muffled.

"Isn't the cold more serious?" Kaoru Uesugi asked while looking at the hot little nose on the screen while holding the phone.

"Um"

Hanamaru Hanabi nodded slightly, her cheeks were redder than usual because of the fever.

"Kai-kun, are you taking a bath?"

The screen on the other end of the phone is foggy.

"Hot springs."

"Kai-kun. Why did you make a video with Hanabi while soaking in the hot spring?" Hanamaru Hanabi's weak voice suddenly dropped a bit, and she shifted her dodging gaze away from him.

"The main reason is to see how Hanabi's cold is doing, I didn't think too much about it."

Uesugi Kai let the camera only focus on his own face, "Did you rest at home today?"

"Well, Hanabi wanted to go, but Dad also asked Hanabi to rest for two more days." Hanamaru Hanabi looked at the camera, "Father also said that in the future, Kai-kun will not let Kai-kun take Hanabi out at night."

Uesugi Kai: "It's my fault."

In May, which is close to the rainy season, the weather starts to change.

The Hosokawa Garden was inexplicably cold last night, and the two who sneaked in were sitting and suddenly it rained.

The rain was heavy, mixed with the cold wind at night, and Xiaohuahuo climbed the fence for a long time during this period.

The two rushed home together wet.

Thankfully it's not far from home.

Hanamaru Hanabi's cute face was wet by the rain, her little white dress was soaked all over, and her hair was messy.

Uesugi Kai waited for her to take a hot bath in his home, and let her put on his own clothes and go there together.

Waiting for the two of them was naturally Hanamaru Hiroki standing at the entrance with an expressionless face.

"Last night. Sorry."

After thinking about it again and again, Uesugi still apologized to her for having a cold.

Hanamaru Hanabi is a girl after all, although she is very healthy, but because of her constitution, a cold is not easy to get rid of.

When I was a child, I was admitted to the hospital because of a high fever.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"No." Hanamaru Hanabi replied with a strong nasal voice, "Kai-kun, don't worry about Hanabi. Hanabi will be fine soon."

Her cheeks were flushed, her nose was blocked enough to breathe through her mouth, but she still gave the screen a warm smile.

Kaoru Uesugi knew how she looked sick with a fever in the morning, her smile made him open his mouth, not knowing what to say, "I'm trying to force myself again."

"Hanabi. I just don't want Kai-kun to worry." There was no complicated reason for the weak voice.

Kai Uesugi saw Hanamaru Hanabi huddled in the quilt, her delicate face was so tired that she didn't have much energy.

"Go to bed first, I won't disturb your rest."

Hanamaru Hanabi lay down, leaned her head on the pillow, pulled the quilt to cover her snow-white neck: "Hanabi. I want to chat with Kai-kun again."

"Isn't it enough to talk for so long last night?"

"Well," Hanamaru Hanabi sniffled, suffering from a terrible headache, clasped the phone with both hands, and nodded in confusion, "I really want to stay with Kai-kun all the time."

Hearing her inaudible voice, Uesugi Kai smiled at her:

"Stop talking, go to bed first, if you catch a cold, you should rest more after taking the medicine."

"Okay," Hanamaru Hanabi weakly agreed.

After saying good night, Kai Uesugi hung up the video.

Hanamaru Hanabi closed her eyes, put the phone with the screen turned off on her heart, her petite body curled up in the warm quilt, her head and breathing were drowsy.

The discomfort of the fever made her toss and turn in the middle of the night, as if she was having a nightmare, frowning from time to time, weakly calling Uesugi Kai when she was a child.

------

On Tuesday, today's sun seemed to be getting bigger, and the dazzling beam of light slanted into the manor in the bamboo forest.

I don't know if it's because the cold hasn't completely healed, Kai Uesugi, who just got up from the bed, is looking at his hands, recalling last night's dream, dazed.

Qing Youya, who was in the same room as him, also saw him sitting on the bed after washing, and then called him to his senses.

"Is the cold still okay?"

The golden beam of light can see the fine dust floating in the air.

"It's not a cold," Uesugi said, "just thinking about something."

"...I see something is wrong with you."

"There's something wrong with it."

Uesugi Kai got up, washed up, put on the white bow uniform, and walked out of the room with Qing Youya.

The eaves and verandahs of the house are clean and flat, and you can see the green and long bamboo rustling in the wind from the side.

After breakfast, it's time to gather at 8 o'clock.

"Your goal this time is to be the champion of Zhenghu competition, but after studying this time, I hope that you will gain more than just the championship."

The white foot bag stepped on the neat floor of the Bamboo Forest Dojo. The white-haired Ogasawara Tokiyoshi said while showing everyone his shooting shape.

He put the arrow on the bow, the bow was stretched wide, the string was tense, and the two-meter-long bamboo bow shrunk inward at the same time under his strength.

An arrow about one meter long, with the head protruding slightly from the bow.

All movements were slow, and then the arrow shot out of his hand.

It was a very simple shooting method, without any obvious features, but the arrow branch did hit the center of the target.

"Hey, Tsuboi, do you see anything?" Hirata Masanobu whispered to Tsuboi Hideyoshi who was sitting in front of him.

"Archery." Two words seemed to come out of Uesugi's mouth.

"It's indeed archery, but I don't understand it. It takes a lot of energy to stand like that."

"Yeah," Eiyoshi Tsuboi nodded in agreement, "but from the perspective of breathing, Mr. Ogasawara did it very easily."

This morning, Shiqing Ogasawara did not give too much guidance, but asked them to continue training according to the breathing method mentioned yesterday afternoon.

Obviously, everyone failed to master the rhythmic and natural breathing method in nocking the arrow and drawing the bow.

Norishi Ogasawara's simple archery seems quite mysterious.

——The function of the string nut is to let the thumb hook the bowstring, and the function of the shank is to prevent the bowstring from strangling people and letting go of the arrow prematurely.

The general bow is flush with the shoulders, which makes it easy for people to stick to the body and exert force.

But it's different from a bow.

—the bow will be held in both hands, shoulder first, and above the head.At this time, the hand that has not been opened is almost completely straightened.

Then, the left and right hands move down slowly, pushing the bow and pulling the string at the same time. The farther the hands are apart, the more the longbow bends downward.

Until the left hand is at eye level, the arrow branch slightly touches the cheek.

This unique way of drawing the bow almost inevitably makes the arms tense, and the special structure of the bow must also make the hands shaking when pushing and pulling the bowstring.

At noon and morning today, everyone was thinking about how Ogasawara Tokiyoshi managed to naturally relax his muscles and draw his bow.

Break time.

Kai Uesugi leaned on the rattan chair, listened to the breeze blowing through the bamboo forest, looked at the leisurely white clouds in the blue sky, and recalled the undissipated memory caused by the dream in the early morning.
