Chapter 192: An Unexpected Incident
The bus carrying the Archery Club members glided smoothly along the highway, leaving the mountains of Nagano behind and heading toward the bustling city of Tokyo.
The twilight sky began painting the horizon with shades of orange and purple.
Inside the bus, the atmosphere was far more relaxed and cheerful compared to when they first arrived in Nagano. The exhaustion from three days of summer training was gradually replaced by sweet memories and anticipation for the remaining summer vacation.
With his ever-burning enthusiasm, Ryohei started a conversation. "Finally heading back to Tokyo! I can’t wait to tackle my summer homework. How far have you guys gotten?"
"Homework? I haven’t even touched my books. I’ve been too busy preparing for summer camp." Nanao sighed.
"I’m almost done with my language essay. I’ll probably finish the rest tomorrow." Minato said calmly.
Seiya turned around, joining the conversation. "I plan to spend the rest of the vacation reading old books. Maybe practice archery at the city field too."
"I want to go to a summer festival! There’ll be tons of food stalls and games! Wanna come along?" Rika invited everyone.
"A summer festival sounds fun." Yuuna nodded in agreement.
"Absolutely! We should all go together! Maybe even hit up a fireworks festival!" Ryohei nodded enthusiastically.
The other club members joined in the lighthearted discussion, planning how they’d spend the rest of their summer break. Their chatter was casual, filled with the trivial joys of youth.
Meanwhile, Umi sat beside Ren.
