Hey, I'm Shirou. I've been wondering this for a while now but is there some kind of dojo or archery range around here? I train with martial arts and I know it's important to have the proper equipment.

[He misses having a dojo in his home. ]

Training helps me keep my focus and well it looks like a lot of people here could use it too.

I don't want to stop moving just because I'm not at home anymore. I think it's nice to go out for a jog early in the morning.  Maybe you have some kind of interesting work out routine. I'd like to hear about it.

[Venti doesn't care about training or anything like that but...]

It's good to see you want to keep yourself busy! Do you have a lot of interest in archery?

[projections]

Oh yeah, of course. I joined the archery team back in highschool and I ended up quitting because some stuff at work came out.

I'd like to think I'm halfway decent with a bow. Might be nice to pick that up again.

How about you?

While it might not specifically be a dojo, I have found some ruins on the edge of town that I've been cleaning up for training purposes.

[A small map has been sketched out.]

I'm sure I could make something work.

[projections]

You've been working on that? Wow, I'd really like to see it.

The map would make it easier for me to get there. It doesn't seem too far.

I have to wonder how big that place is.

If you wish to use a melee weapon, I could spar with you.

However, please prioritize your health before training.

Oh? What kind of martial arts do you know?

[concierto]

That's wonderful to hear! There's nothing more graceful and beautiful than an arrow let loose through the sky.

I'm an archer, myself!

[projections]

You are? I didn't know that.

I want to see how you handle a bow myself one of these days.

[projections]

That would be fine, thanks. I had a bad dream and then thought I have to get a little stronger.

I feel okay now, sorry to worry you.

I'm familiar with kendo. My homeroom teacher was a five dan.

I heard that she was one of the best kendo fighters around. It's not like I could ever hope to beat someone like that with a half-hearted resolve so I want to train more.

The things I know the most are Japanese style martial arts too. How about you?

[concierto]

[He airily giggles at the message.]

It's nothing special, really! I'm not much one to practice, either. It's a skill I'll use if I need it! But I do like using a bow.

[kikuichi]

How wonderful. It's always good to have a goal to strive for, and even surpass.

I'm pretty good with a sword. A Japanese tachi, to be precise. So while I might be old, I would love to train with you.

[iracorn]

It's really not that far, so please feel free to drop by. I'm there most days.

It's a decent size, I think. It must have been used for similar activities in the past.

It does feel like something's off if you let yourself not do something, doesn't it? Even a little bit of training is better than none.

[projections]

Are you familiar with using traditional wooden bows? There are better bows made out of higher quality material but I have a fondness for old fashioned archery.

[projections]

You get exactly what I'm talking about.


I came to this world not too long ago but it's hard to believe it's already been a few months. Do you have plenty to do here?

[projections]

That would make a lot of sense. Hey, I have a knack for cleaning and house chores so let me help out.

It's the least I could do while I'm there.

[projections]

It sounds like you've been fighting for a while. That's all the more reason I should do my best if we're training together.

Are you okay with training swords? They're nothing like the real thing.

[hairpinings]

I like to do a lot of little odd jobs here and there. Oh, but I'm lucky! My sparring partner from home came with me, so I won't get rusty in that regard.

[iracorn]

To be honest, I would appreciate the help.

The weather tends to cause the odd setback.

[removal]

[ This is how it always starts, isn't it? A nightmare planting the seed of darkness which would then bloom into obsession. He can't help but be worried. ]

What weapon are you accustomed to using?

[kikuichi]

You could say that. I did my fair share of fighting back in the day. Now? I love to watch over the young ones' training.

They're fine with me. Whether it's training swords or real, I won't take it easy on you, kid.

[concierto]

Of course! Traditional wooden bows are beautiful! I haven't used one in some time but nothing compares to that simple craftsmanship!

[projections]

Oh, I'm glad you have an appreciation for them too. I have a few wooden bows back at my apartment we could use.

I made them and the bowstring's from Hemp so it's durable.

[projections]

That's the way I'd prefer it. It'd seem like you aren't taking me seriously if you don't go all out.

It sounds like you've been fighting for a while though. I'd better be on guard.
