A Gentlemanly and Elegant Stand
After the demonstration and explanation for the ring toss, next are the Kick Target and Throwing Target.
I prepare each of the targets with Earth magic. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
The kick target ball is a soccer ball with cushioning made of cloth put together.
As for the ball for the throwing target, I made it using Earth magic to make it easier to throw.
And then, if I let the high-spirited Eleonora-neesan try it......
「Al! This Kick Target and Throwing Target things are really good! I, I think this is definitely going to be an exciting game!」
She got hooked on them.
The previous ring toss is probably unsatisfying for her. It looks like Eleonora-neesan really liked games where she can make full use of her athletic abilities.
「Sylvio, let’s do it again! Al, repair the target again with magic!」
Even after she’s done playing it all once, Eleonora-neesan still urges me to do it one more time.
Speaking of the real pleasure of playing kick target, it’s the exhilarating feeling of when the ball kicked the panel down. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Of course, knowing that I make the panel weak using Earth magic so it can be dropped upon impact.
And so, if someone dropped a panel, I have to reattach the panel again using magic.
I use Earth magic to fit the dropped panel to the six-panel frame.
It has a delicate balance where it’s easy for you to miss the target area if you miss just a little and make the ball go outside the frames. I never hit it a bit off from the center, so it’s slightly difficult to intentionally hit it.
If the panel is too weak, then it can fall just by wind and if it’s too strong then the ball will bounce back after hitting the panel.
It should not be so weak that even wind can knock it down, and not strong enough so the ball will not bounce back without knocking the panel. They have a delicate balance.
「There, it’s doneー」
「Thank youー」
Eleonora-neesan unusually thanked me as she innocently smiled and said that, maybe she knew that it was because of my magic she could play so happily.
I wish she could just honestly thank me like that to me at ordinary times.
Looking at our interactions, Nord-tousan expresses his thoughts on it.
「This is also interesting, but I feel like this will become less interesting if Al is not around」
Indeed. At this rate, I have to stay around the game to use magic all the time.
I don’t want to have that kind of troublesome job at Harvest Festival.
I have to make it into something anyone can fix. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Hmー, I wonder if we should make it from wood?」
「It should be possible, but can the panel come off using wooden material? Well, it seems like the panel part can be substituted with cloth, but...... 」
I see, if we stick the panel part with a cloth, it can be done without having to remove it each time.
「Eiii!」
Bam!
「Yay! I dropped the nine-point panel!」
In front of us, Eleonora-neesan drops a panel after shooting them down like a professional soccer player.
When I see her playing happily like that, I feel like making them with cloth alone is not enough.
Actually, even I felt excited when I managed to make the panel fall.
Sure enough, when it comes to Kick Target, you aim, kick, and then you get to have a sense of achievement after shooting through the target.
「……I think the panel part will fall when it receives an impact if you add a dent of some sort on the part where the panel is attached. The panel will break if they are too thin, but they will be difficult to come off if it’s too thick so it’s important to have the perfect amount of thinness, though they will become consumable somewhat」
「I see, that that will make it possible to play the game without Al having to be around all the time and using magic. The ring toss can also be made similarly then」
Nord-tousan looks very satisfied with that answer, maybe because even the villagers will be able to play it without any big cost to the game. The ring toss goes without saying. They can reproduce it with wooden material.
Un, with this, I won’t end up with the work of fitting the panels, again and again, using magic.
The carpenters - Elman and the others - would be quite busy until the Harvest festival though.
「Number one! I will shoot through number one this time!」
When I casually turned my eyes toward the throwing target, there was Mina shouting enthusiastically over there.
It seems like the maids - who had been watching beside Elna-kaasan with great interest- are drawn to the game.
It would probably be necessary to know their impression of the games since rather than our family, the villagers will mainly be the people who will have fun with them. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Although, judging from their happy voices, I think we don’t even have to ask them their impressions.
「Hahaha. What are you talking about now, it would just enter the hole again, right?」
「I can already see the outcome anyway」
「Noーo, this time will be the number one! Take a look!|」
Even when Mel and Sara make fun of her, Mina still insists on throwing the ball without giving in.
That’s exactly the pitching motion of an ordinary girl.
Truly a big difference from Eleonora-neesan who was throwing the ball with a windup position like a pro baseball pitcher so suddenly.
As I watch them with a smile on my face, the ball thrown by Mina flew toward panel number 1—nope, it was completely sucked into the middle of the hole.
As to be expected from Mina who never fails to give us a twist to a situation.
「Hahaha, see, look!」
「Ahhー!? Whyyー!?」
It would have been a splendid strike in baseball. But, rather than the throwing skill toward the middle, Throwing Target needs skillful control.
「Mina-senpai probably unconsciously aims at the center of the panel with a hole since Mina-senpai is instinctual like an animal」
「What was thatー?」
Mina shouts in disbelief, but for some reason, I understand what Sara means by that.
Not only Eleonora-neesan - who is hard to say if she is an ordinary girl -, but even the villagers, Mina and Sara are having fun playing the game and it looks like kick target and target throwing are going to enliven the festival.
And when I was feeling satisfied with that, Elna-kaasan came over to me. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Say, Al. Ring Toss and Kick Target are also fun and nice but, is there something that Alicia-sama and Ranna-sama can peacefully enjoy?」
Meaning, is there an elegant game that a noble young lady like them can enjoy?
Certainly, now that you mention it, Kick Target and Throwing Target seem like entertainment unsuitable for noble young ladies to play with. Ra-chan might just play it happily, but Alicia gave me the atmosphere of a young lady from a good house, so she may not be good at games that make her intensely move her body around like this.
Ring Toss might be fine for her, but it is kinda subtle if you say that the game is elegant.
Even table tennis - which is a man’s game - is also considered a type of physical exercise.
A game that can be enjoyed even by girls.......
「There is still that small fish scooping you have not shown us yet, right? From what Al told us, it seemed like a lot more peaceful game」
Just when I was pondering about it, Nord-tousan - who is near - said that to me.
Ooh, come to think of it there was still that.
Goldfish scooping――no, if it’s small fish scooping, then even Alicia should be able to calmly participate.
Un, scooping small fish swimming in a fish tank, that’s more like a noble’s game.
「Un, you can certainly relax and enjoy that game. Just that, we have to prepare the fish......」
Securing the fish in the fish tank is a matter of course, but above all, we also have to make the scooping paper.
I can just ask Elman to make the frame, the problem is the Japanese paper.
As to be expected, there is no light and thin paper like the one from my previous life――no, there is a country where it seemed likely it existed. On that subject, there was a shoji (paper sliding door) in Kagura, so a Japanese paper should also exist there!
This looks possible. I’ll Teleport to Kagura to find some Japanese paper later.
「Un, it looks like it’s going to work, I will try to make it later」
「Is that so? Then, please show us when it is ready」
I nodded at Nord-tousan’s words.
A lot of stalls for small fish scooping.......It has become more festival-ish, hasn’t it?
I liked the summer festival in my previous life, so I got a little fired up
I also want to try the small fish scooping.
I don’t know about Eric and Alicia, but Ra-chan might be delighted by it. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I came up with a plan for the small fish scooping while looking forward to playing them at the Harvest Festival.
