With everybody (but me) getting a hairpiece of their own, we left the knife throwing stand.
Shuri’s hair piece was huge and very pretty, so she was skipping happily as we walked around, looking for the next attraction that would catch our interest.
「If you’d have let me try once more, I would have gotten the same one as Tilia-sama’s…」
Noa had missed two of her throws, so I had no idea where that confidence was coming from…
「If I were to try again, I could have gotten a better prize as well.」
Tilia declared, clearly competing with Noa.
「If we’re going to do it once more later then I will give my prize to Fina next.」
「That’s unfair.」
Well, with how the girls running the stand had looked at us when I had claimed the grand reward, I had a feeling they wouldn’t let me try anymore. I had taken the grand prize too easily, after all, so I would surely trouble them if I were to return.
As we chatted, we spotted another interesting attraction: a ball throwing game.
「Yuna-san, you’re amazing.」
「Yuna-neechan is so cool.」
「Yuna-oneechan, you’re great at this.」
Well, I was kind of cheating.
I hit the furthest target with the ball without much of a problem. It even had obstacles in the way, but that didn’t hinder me in the slightest.
「You were good at knife throwing too. I’m amazed that you can hit targets like this, without missing even once.」
「Yes, and that one is pretty hard to hit as well.」
The ball-throwing targets were placed from ten to twenty meters away from the challenger. The difficulty of hitting them ranged from A to E grades, where the E grade was for the closest targets and the A grade for the farthest ones. The A grade targets were also much smaller than the large E grade ones, not to mention all the obstacles littering the path towards the A grade targets.
Similar to the knife throwing game, the challenger received three balls to throw, and the prizes were split into five categories, from A to E grade, with a prize awarded depending on the targets hit.
Hitting targets A, B, and C earned one enough to win an A grade prize. On the other hand, hitting the E grade target three times only netted them an E grade prize.
Tilia had aimed her first ball at target A, but after missing, she had given up on it and went with target C next, which she had successfully hit. With her last ball, she had aimed at target B but had sadly missed again.
Noa had aimed all three balls at target A and had naturally missed everything. I couldn’t understand why she hadn’t tried for the easier targets after her first throw when she must have realized how hard it was to hit target A.
With her first ball, Shuri had hit target E. She had then aimed for target D with the second but had missed the mark. Her last throw had managed to hit target D, though.
Fina had done the same as Shuri and had gone for the target E first. Seeing she had hit it easily, she had gone for target D on her second throw and had scored again. She had then proceeded to try for target C with her last throw but had sadly missed.
At first, I had been worrying over which target I should go for, before realizing this was just a game and the most important thing was to have fun.
With that settled, I had taken a closer look at the target A. There was a board hanging above the target, so I couldn’t have lobbed the ball to arc it above the obstacles. On the other hand, right in front of it were various poles a ball could bounce off of, making a forward approach quite difficult.
Noa had aimed for it even though it was reckless to do so for a normal person.
However, hitting it was just the perfect challenge for me.
I had held the ball in the Bear-san Puppet’s mouth and aimed straight for target A. Adding a little bit of curve to my throw, the ball had weaved in between the obstacles and slammed against the target without much trouble.
Seeing my first ball hit its mark so easily, the girls had all complimented me, and even the crowd watching had applauded me.
Two more balls later, I received a grade A accessory without any issue while showing off once again.
This time, I gave the prize to Noa.
For the next attraction, we joined a rolling ball challenge. It was like an obstacle race, but with a time limit. This time around, I won a homemade bracelet, which I gave to Fina.
We continued to participate in all sorts of games, and the number of earned prizes kept increasing.
「Thank you very much.」
Fina, Shuri, and Noa now each wore many pieces of accessories I had won for them. They were wearing hair pieces, necklaces, bracelets, and brooches. At the last game, we had even received flowers grown by the students. Only at this point did I realize that it was possible to wear too many accessories.
「We’ve been invaded by all the prizes.」
Tilia shared her interesting take on the situation after also inspecting the three girls.
Well, she was also wearing all the prizes she had won herself, so she shouldn’t have been the one to talk…
「Since Yuna keeps winning all the best prizes, the students running the stands end up looking stiff.」
「Well, they made it difficult on purpose, so it only makes me want to challenge them more.」
I wasn’t someone to shy away from a challenge, after all.
「Normal people cannot clear challenges of such difficulty, though.」
Well, even I was only able to do it thanks to my Bear Skills. Without them, I wouldn’t have won a single prize. Forget hitting the targets, I doubted my throws would have even reached them.
Chatting happily, we moved on to the next attraction…
「Hey, what’s that over there?」
There was a large cloth surrounding a small area so we couldn’t see what was inside.
「I wonder what its purpose is?」
It seemed like Tilia didn’t know, either. Well, it was impossible to know all the programs in every area, especially with how big the academy was.
Anyway, judging by how the cloth surrounded the whole area, it could be a haunted house?
