“Okay, let’s go play!”

“Eh, …… I’m going to watch your brother’s match now. There’s no time to play. ……”

“I’m not watching the match! I’m going to play! That’s it!”

“No, but…”

I grab her arm as if to say no questions asked.

“Don’t mess around, let’s go!”

“Where are we going, ……?”

“We’re going to have fun. It’s the Four Great Festivals now. It’s a festival and you have to enjoy it.

“But I have to prepare for tomorrow’s match…”

“Ahhhh! That’s enough! Don’t even think about tomorrow’s match!”

“Don’t be so selfish!”

I stop and turn around.

“Being selfish is fine! You know that, right? That’s what I am.”

I was like that when I first met her and took her out to the party.

I’ll do what I want.

“Let’s go.”

I pull her hand and we walk for a while.

As we did so, we arrived near the venue.

As it was a festival, there were a lot of stalls.

I found the stall I was looking for.

“Hey, Natalie. Let’s do that.”

I pointed to the ring toss stall.

I was impressed by the fact that there was such a thing as ring toss in this world.

“I’ve never tried …… ring toss.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get one for Natalie.”

There were many rings in a box in front of the stall.

There are also a number of sticks set up inside the stall, and if you put a wheel in one of them, you get a product.

In other words, it’s just like the ring toss stalls at Japanese festivals.

“Is there anything you want……?”

“Not really, but ……. If I had to say…”

Natalie pointed her finger and said, “I want that one.”

It was a small stuffed bear.

“Do you like that kind of thing?”

“What? Can’t I?

“Oh, no, it’s just …… a little unexpected.”

I couldn’t imagine Natalie holding a stuffed animal.

But when I think about it, it’s really cute.

Natalie, who sleeps with a teddy bear, is the best.

“Okay, I got it!”

I paid the man at the stall, and he gave me three rings to throw.

The goal was to get to the stick in front of the stuffed animal.

You can put it in there.

If you want, I’ll show you my skills as a professional ring tosser in a previous life.

There is a trick to ring toss.

The first is posture.

Put your dominant foot in front of you and point your toes at the target.

Then, bring the hoop to your center.

It is important to note that you should not move your body forward.

It will bring you closer to the target, but it will also make you unstable and the loop will not go where you want it to.

I make a throwing stance and look at the target.

When throwing, it is important to throw the hoop as if pushing it out, and not to snap the wrist.

Remembering the movements of my previous life, I throw the hoop easily.

“Not even close.”

As Natalie had pointed out, it fell just short of the target.

“Oh no, …..? That’s strange. I thought it would be able to do that.”

By the way, you can only get a stuffed animal if two out of three of them are on the same stick.

I concentrated again and threw it.

But the result was disappointing.

It went into the stick next to me.

Hmm, what should I do?

The one next to it is a hair ornament shaped like an indigo feather.

I guess I’ll just have to give up and go for that one.

I hold the one remaining hoop in my right hand and aim it at the target.

The loop drew a parabola and easily entered the target stick.

“Yes!”

I gut-punched.

Well, it wasn’t what I was looking for, but I got something good.

I took the hair ornament from the old man and gave it to Natalie.

“Here, you can have it.”

It’s not something a man should have to wear.

The hairpiece was in the form of a hair clip.

“Thanks …….”

She took the ornament and put it on her shiny golden hair.

“What do you think?”

Natalie asked, squirming.

“Well, …… yes. It’s so cute.”

There was an angel in the crowd.

I looked away from her, too dazzled.

I knew Natalie was cute.
