On Friday evening, Kurosawa Hikaru walked out of the classroom and started his journey home.
Walking alone to the school gate, he looked forward and saw no familiar luxury car waiting for him. He looked back and saw no one catching up with him.
"She really didn't look for me... What on earth is she doing?"
Realizing that Ninomiya Chizuru did not show up, Kurosawa Hikaru felt something was wrong.
"Forget it, wait until the day of the Kyudo Tournament, what is coming will eventually come."
Although he couldn't understand it, it would be a good idea for Kurosawa Mitsuru to think about the result.
…
At the Chasing Wind Dojo, as soon as Kurosawa Mitsuru walked into the shooting range, someone was already waiting for him.
"Brother Kurosawa, you finally come to see me on a day other than Sunday."
Sato Shinichi was still wearing his kimono as usual, and as soon as he came to the shooting range from the door, he immediately opened his arms and embraced him enthusiastically.
I have to say, it's really difficult to meet Brother Kurosawa.
"The Kyudo Tournament is getting closer. Until then, I'll come to your place to practice every day."
Kurosawa Hikaru also opened his arms and hugged him, then explained.
"Okay, you can come whenever you want and practice however you want."
After the hug, Sato Shinichi was so happy to hear these words.
"Speaking of which, thank you for what happened a few days ago."
Kurosawa Hikaru took off his shoes and stepped on the wooden floor in his socks and said.
Because the most important thing at the moment is to ensure that he can marry Shifengyuan in the future, he decides to come to the shooting range to practice every day before the competition begins.
"Hey, it's just a small thing, no need to thank me, your business is my brother's business."
Hearing him mention this, Sato Shinichi glared at him and patted his chest and said.
"Okay, brother, wait for me to change my clothes, and then we can go to the long-range shooting range to shoot arrows together, how about that?"
Seeing how generous he was, Kurosawa Mitsuru didn't hesitate and said immediately.
"Of course you can, but I can't accompany you for too long. At most I can shoot a few dozen arrows with you."
Seeing that he was so interested today, Sato Shinichi agreed. To be on the safe side and for the sake of his old bones, he also said so.
Long-range shooting is different from short-range shooting. The farther the distance, the more strength and energy required to shoot.
"It's okay. I just want you to show me the basic moves of Kyudo."
"You should be free tonight, right?"
"I'll go home around 10 o'clock. Summer vacation starts tomorrow. I have to get up early and go to school again to listen to the teacher's nagging for a while." Kurosawa Mitsuru shrugged.
"Hahaha."
Realizing that he still had to listen to the nagging of the teachers at school, Sato Shinichi suddenly laughed.
Not long after, Kurosawa Hikaru changed into a hakama, put on some finger guards, and went to the long shooting field with Sato Shinichi.
The two of them practiced from the beginning according to Kyudo etiquette.
Etiquette is something that takes a long time to develop. It is not something that can be considered etiquette simply by imitating something a few times.
Although Kurosawa Hikaru has perfect archery skills and is unrivaled in the world in terms of archery skills, he still has a lot to learn in terms of the etiquette of Kyudo.
The two men didn't say much, just shot arrows quietly.
"Speaking of which, Future will not be coming to the dojo this Sunday."
After firing more than ten arrows, Sato Makoto began to feel tired and spoke.
"Why?"
Holding Black Wind in his hand, Kurosawa Mitsuru pulled the bowstring to its full extent and shot an arrow which hit the bull's eye, and said in confusion.
He was also thinking about meeting with Mirai in advance the day after tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss things to do on the day of the Kyudo Competition.
"I mentioned to my old friend before that letting Mirai watch the National College Kyudo Tournament would be beneficial to her Kyudo training, and I will also appear as a guest. Her grandfather summoned her home when she was on summer vacation. On the day of the competition, they will go to the Budokan together."
Seeing that he was calm and still maintained his terrifying accuracy, Sato Shinichi was full of admiration and explained.
So far, Kurosawa has never missed the target since he came to the Chuifeng Dojo, whether it is the close shooting range of 28 meters or the long shooting range of 60 meters... What's more terrifying is that he still maintains a record of absolutely hitting the center of the bull's eye.
How many arrows are there? At least hundreds of arrows. This is too incredible.
If it were the Warring States Period, with Kurosawa's archery skills, he would definitely be the best marksman in history, no doubt about it.
"Brother, are you going to be a guest at the Kyudo Tournament?"
Kurosawa Hikaru realized his help, pulled out an arrow from the quiver, and asked while shooting the arrow.
"Normally, I can't be invited to an event of this level, and it's impossible for me to invite my old friends to watch the game."
"Thank you for your hard work, bro."
"It's not hard. Participating as a guest can also help fuel your fame."
When Sato Shinichi talked about this, there was an excitement on his face that was hard to conceal.
In fact, there has never been anyone in his life who could convince him and whom he truly admired, not even the head of the Shifengyuan family or the person in charge of the Fenglin Group.
But after meeting Kurosawa Hikaru, he was truly convinced and even felt admiration and respect for him.
This brother Kurosawa is like a monster born for bows and arrows.
This brother is still very young, but one day, he will definitely be crowned as the strongest in history, or even the god of archery.
Being able to be on good terms with such a person who had shown his talent at a young age and was destined to become a legend, he not only did not mind lowering his generation, he even felt proud of it.
That's right, as long as Brother Kurosawa has any difficulties, he will do his best to help.
"Brother Sato, how many women do you have?"
Kurosawa Mitsuru had been shooting arrows, an average of one arrow every fifteen seconds. After thinking for a while, he suddenly spoke.
"… "
Hearing this question, Sato Shinichi slowly stopped shooting and turned his head to look at him.
"I have three wives with names and two lovers without names or names."
After thinking about it, Sato Shinichi realized that he was not joking but was serious, so he said.
"What's the relationship between the guy who pours tea for us every time in the tea room and me?"
Kurosawa Hikaru turned his head and looked at him, somewhat curious.
As he spoke, the bow and arrow left his hand, and even without looking, it accurately hit the center of the bull's eye 60 meters away.
This distance was too close for him, not to mention that the target of Kyudo was very large, with the center of the bull's eye at least five centimeters.
"Kumiko? She's one of my wives."
Seeing that he could succeed, Sato Shinichi applauded him in response.
"Do you love them?"
Kurosawa Hikaru was a little curious.
It's not strange for him to have three wives who are officially his.
Maybe Neon is a monogamous society, but a big shot like me who can call the shots in Tokyo doesn't need to care about such things.
"Of course, but there is still a distinction between importance, otherwise there would be no distinction between a wife and a lover."
"Do you feel guilty when facing your lover and wife?"
"Guilt? Why do you feel guilty?"
"Because they only love you, but you love several people. It's not fair to them."
When Kurosawa Mitsuru talked about this, he felt a little heavy-hearted.
This is the thing that he is most concerned about during this period.
"It's not fair because I gave them everything they wanted and they were content with it."
"Give them everything they want?"
"Kumiko is one of my fans. She was attracted by my performance at a competition when she was twelve years old and started to adore me. She didn't want my money or my status. She was simply fascinated and admired my archery and wanted to be with me for the rest of her life. Her feelings attracted me a lot, so I fell in love with her, gave her the opportunity to be with me, and gave her a legitimate status."
"How will your legal wife react if you marry her?"
"She was quite resistant at first, but later compromised because Kumiko was my last wife and there was a precedent before her. Although there have been arguments, their relationship is still good now."
"Can this be a good relationship?" Kurosawa Mitsuru was a little surprised.
"Because when I was planning to marry my fourth wife, they met in private and united to persuade me. Because I was attracted to my two lovers for their youth and beauty, I couldn't say I loved them, so I didn't marry them."
Sato Shinichi shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the ground and said with a smile.
"The fact that they are resisting this shows that they still care about your infidelity." Kurosawa Hikaru turned his head and looked at him.
"That can't be helped. Men are attracted to different women at different times. When I married Kumiko, I actually thought that I would never look for another one, but later I couldn't help myself."
Shinichi Sato had no idea what to do about this situation.
"Brother is such a scumbag and feels at ease with himself."
Seeing him make such remarks, even though Kurosawa Hikaru knew that he was a scumbag, he couldn't help but say.
"Hahaha... Brother, you are such a scumbag. You asked me this, which means that besides the future, you have fallen in love with other women, right?"
Hearing this comment, Sato Shinichi did not deny it hypocritically, but laughed heartily and then asked.
"right."
Because he was very honest, this brother was trustworthy. After hesitating, Kurosawa Mitsuru put down the bow in his hand and nodded.
"The future is a woman that countless men can never get even in their daydreams. But even though you have such an outstanding girl, you still miss other people. This is what men are like. As long as you have power and ability, you will definitely desire more. This desire will never end."
Shinichi Sato was very happy to get this recognition, and then he spoke to him heart to heart.
"really."
Kurosawa Hikaru opened his mouth, unable to deny it, so he could only nod.
In fact, for countless men, just having Shifengyuan Mirai as a wife is a blessing that they have earned in three lifetimes, but he still won't be satisfied with this.
Maybe he doesn't have any thoughts about Miki Baiyu now... But this is because he doesn't have the extra thoughts and energy at this stage, but what about in the future
"Brother, you don't have to worry so much, you just need to make yourself better. In the future, the daughter of a wealthy family like this will choose you, not just because she loves you, but because she thinks that being with you is the best choice. You have the ability to beat all other men."
Seeing his reaction, Sato Shinichi also comforted him.
“For the better?”
When Kurosawa Hikaru heard these words, he always felt that they were very similar to the concept of the system.
"Women are won not by chasing them but by attracting them. As long as you are good enough, you don't need to do anything deliberately, and there will be a lot of girls who like you." Sato Makoto nodded. He was very sure of this. When he was young, he had too many suitors to count.
"Besides, you are so handsome, as good as I was when I was young. If I were a woman, fifty years younger, I would be willing to be your lover as long as I can be with you."
After saying that, Sato Shinichi looked at Kurosawa Mitsuru's face, which was clear-cut, deep and handsome, with his eyes lowered in thought, and said in amazement.
This brother's looks were so good that only I could compete with him when I was young.
"Yi, what you said is too disgusting."
Kurosawa Mitsuru, who was thinking, couldn't hold back when he heard this.
"Hahaha, I'm telling you this."
Seeing his disgusted look, Sato Shinichi was so happy.
