Unlike previous events, this festival added several new activities, with the archery competition being one of this year's new additions.
Because it was a new activity, everyone found it very novel, so as soon as the event launched, it immediately attracted many people to watch.
This archery competition was primarily for entertainment, meaning that anyone, regardless of gender or age, could participate.
The difficulty was not high; the focus was on participation.
The top three winners would receive souvenirs prepared by the event organizers, while other participants would receive consolation prizes: some exquisitely made desserts.
As a result, this competition also attracted the attention of the Little Cuties.
"Makoto Gege, can Keqing participate in the archery competition? Those desserts look delicious!"
"Beidou also wants to participate in the competition, preferably to get into the top three!"
"Ganyu Shifu said that archery is also a method of self-cultivation, Shen He wants to try."
"Although Qiqi doesn't understand archery… but Qiqi wants to be with everyone…"
Seeing the expectant eyes of the Little One, Makoto had no way to refuse.
"Alright, alright, since you all want to participate in the competition, then go and play for a bit."
Makoto paused, his gaze turning to Ei beside him: "I plan to take those Little One to the archery range to have a look."
"Ei, during this time, can you help look after these two Little Ones?"
As he spoke, Makoto looked at Ningguang and Ayaka, who were seriously playing chess.
He was not at ease leaving the two Little Ones alone to play chess here, so he asked Ei to stay and watch over them.
Raiden Ei slowly spoke: "I have no experience in looking after children; it would be a very troublesome matter to handle."
"However… since it is your request, I will agree."
Hearing Ei's words, Makoto finally felt relieved.
Although Raiden Ei was a shut-in who knew nothing about Inazuma's changes, fortunately, she was a woman of her word; any promise she made, she would fulfill no matter what.
Leaving the two children in her care meant at least not having to worry about safety issues.
After this, Makoto took the other Little Cuties to the archery range.
The archery range was already packed with people, almost impossible to squeeze into.
Besides watching the excitement, many people participated in the competition, and they were of all age groups.
However, there were few tiny ones like Sara who participated in the competition.
The staff thought that Little Sara might not even be able to draw a bow, because the Little One looked very soft and cute.
However, the staff still encouraged the children and wished them good results in the competition.
Soon, Makoto led the Little One into the archery range.
Adhering to the principle of fairness and impartiality, contestants were required to use unified bows.
Because it was an entertainment-based competition, the bows prepared for the contestants were all very ordinary, one-star hunting bows.
In the game, this kind of one-star bow was not even used by dogs; it was completely used as fodder for upgrades, because the DMG was pitifully low.
But Little Sara didn't think so at all.
When she saw the hunting bow, her eyes sparkled with light, looking very excited.
Because the bows she usually used in the mountains were roughly made and simple hunting bows, this one-star hunting bow was already a rare treasure for her.
She gently stroked the bowstring, her expression showing joy, just like a child who had received a beloved toy.
For Sara, a bow was her favorite toy.
And Makoto stood by, silently watching all of this, a faint smile on his face.
Just getting an ordinary hunting bow could make the Little One so happy.
Makoto was very curious what it would be like if Little Sara got a five-star bow.
It must be very interesting, right?
Thinking this, Makoto also planned to prepare a five-star bow for Kujou Sara in the future.
At the same time, the other Little One also began their preparations.
Qiqi looked up at Makoto, her voice full of confusion: "Makoto… this competition… what should Qiqi do?"
Makoto heard this and said softly: "Xiao Qiqi, you just need to draw the bow, aim at the bullseye, and shoot the arrow."
As he spoke, Makoto also guided Qiqi's archery posture.
"Qiqi, when you shoot, you need to aim at the bullseye, not at the sky."
"Little Cutie, why did you close both your eyes? How can you aim like that?"
"Archery is about peace of mind and concentration; you can't always look up at the Little Sparrow."
