Chapter 632 Daily Life - Christmas Carnival (3) Couple Shooting
"Second game, shooting!!"
After finishing the racing, Kira ran excitedly to the next game field, shooting sports.
As for why I chose this… isn’t it normal to drive first and then shoot something?
"Oh, there's someone I know here too!"
As soon as he walked to the shooting range, Kira saw several familiar figures:
Arzak dressed neatly and handsomely, and Bisca, whose appearance did not decrease at all despite her big belly—
The couple, who have been married for almost a year, are full of confidence and high spirits. In terms of shooting ability, no one is more professional than them, not to mention Fairy Tail, even in the entire Magnolia.
It was a rare opportunity to defeat those monsters in the guild in a head-on competition, and the couple was extremely excited.
"When it comes to shooting, my husband and I won't lose to anyone else!"
"We won't be polite to the winner here!"
Lucy, a Sagittarius spirit with first-class archery skills, and her teammates and supporters Natsu and Happy——
"Come on, Lucy!!"
“Leave it to me!!”
Gray, who used to use Lancers to shoot people all year round, and Juvia who followed him here -
“Aaaahhhhhhhh! Gray-sama sneaked out to date Lucy again! Juvia was right beside them…”
"I already said this isn't a date!"
"Hmph! Juvia must get the prize this time!!"
Kira looked on in dismay, feeling that he didn't fit in with them: "Oh my goodness... this place is a couples-only place!... Wait! It seems that not all of them are?"
After looking around, Kira's eyes found Dimalia and Brandish in the corner.
The two looked at Kira and nodded as a greeting.
"Not bad, they actually said hello... I thought they would ignore me..."
Soon, Kira knew why most of the contestants in this place were a man and a woman, because there were two shooting games here: one for single-player mode and one for couples mode.
The winner of the single-player mode can get a magic gun of the latest model; and the final winning group of the shooting game in the couple mode can get a set of "Cupid's bow and arrow"!
According to legend, this is the bow and arrow left by the god of love in the world. As long as someone is shot with it, no matter what their race, gender, or age are, they will become lovers in the future and live a peaceful and happy life.
The couple mode competition requires two people to form a team to sign up, but thanks to the gimmick of "Cupid's bow and arrow", it quickly attracted a bunch of friends who have not yet made their relationship clear, couples in love, married couples, and men and women who are not recognized by the world.
"No wonder Juvia attaches so much importance to the prize of this competition..."
Kira decided not to participate in the single-player competition. He could have as many magic guns as he wanted anyway. Ordinary magic guns were not even as effective in combat as a magic attack, so he decided to stay here and watch the show!
Hearing that the upcoming game would require coordination and various levels of exercise, Arzak suddenly became hesitant, and looked at Biska with a concerned look: "Biska, is your body... okay? Or should we just forget it?"
He came out with Bisca today, originally just wanting to stroll around the town, take a look, eat something and then go back. But after seeing the shooting game, Bisca couldn't hold back her excitement and insisted on playing it.
Arzak's family status is currently ranked second, which is relatively low, and no amount of persuasion can change him.
"Don't worry! The doctor said that proper exercise is good for the child's health!"
Bisca lowered her head and gently touched her six-month-old, already sizable belly with her clean white hands, her eyes filled with infinite tenderness.
Lucy, who was not far away, watched this scene quietly. She suddenly thought of her mother Leila who had died many years ago. She felt a little sad for a moment.
In contrast, Natsu and Happy, who had no memory of their mother, did not realize the maternal nature of Bisca. The man and the cat were like two curious babies, coming up to her and asking questions non-stop.
"Is Bisca going to lay eggs?"
“This…is not…”
"Whose egg is it? Arzak's? Or mine?"
"How could it be yours?!"
"Hey, hey! Bisca, what does it feel like to lay an egg?"
"I told you it's not laying eggs!!"
"Aaaaah~ When will Juvia lay an egg for Gray-sama?"
"That's absolutely impossible..."
Kira and Gray were beside Alzak, asking him about his daily life. Perhaps because he was about to become a father and had responsibilities and burdens on him, the two found that Alzak was no longer as immature and reserved as before, but rather much more cheerful, which was undoubtedly a good sign.
"Have you decided on the name of the child?"
"It's decided! The boy will be named Bilk and the girl will be named Aska."
Arzak smiled sheepishly , his clumsy look was no different from every other man who became a father for the first time - at least that's what Kira and Gray thought.
"This name... is simply a combination of your two names, right? Isn't this too casual?! Can't you be more careful?!!"
After carefully thinking about the two names, Kira was too tired to complain.
"How's your money for milk powder?"
"Don't worry about that. It's definitely enough!" Alzak answered in a sonorous and powerful voice, and it was obvious that he had enough confidence in this regard.
Kira understood instantly and couldn't help but look in Bisca's direction.
Gray was confused for a moment and frowned as he asked, "I remember that Bisca hasn't worked for several months because of her pregnancy, right? Is your savings really enough?"
"Stop asking questions, you bastard!"
Kira held Gray's head, interrupting the innocent boy's questioning, and said to Alzak, "If you and your wife have any difficulties, it's okay to ask me or everyone in the guild for help!"
"Hey! Kira! You interrupted me again..."
"I understand. Thank you very much!"
Arzak knew that the two had good intentions, but as a father and a husband, he still wanted to rely on himself, "But don't worry! I will take good care of them!"
Kira nodded silently.
He suddenly realized that when he helped others these days, he rarely mentioned things like price and interest. This was not a good phenomenon!
Not long after, the competition officially began.
The rules of the competition are as follows: the organizers will use a machine to raise a bunch of latex balloons made of special materials. The two contestants will stand within the specified line, one holding a blue arrow and the other holding a pink arrow. Within the specified time, the more balloons with blue and pink arrows at the same time, the higher the score of the group will be.
Bisca was holding a big belly, holding a pink bow and arrow, and smiling confidently. The originally heroic female gunner from the West was now three points less aggressive and seven points more cute: "Although it's not a gun but a bow and arrow, the tacit understanding between Alzak and I is the best among those present! Right, Alzak?"
“Yes… yes!”
The couple smiled at each other and walked towards the designated position for the competition. Looking at the balloons floating in the sky, their eyes became sharp at the same time.
BANG!!
Along with the sound of gunfire, Alzak and Bisca moved at the same time, taking arrows, putting on bows, pulling strings, and shooting. Their movements were almost completely synchronized. The arrows were as fast as lightning and thunder, not only swift and powerful, but also extremely accurate.
For a moment, there was an endless stream of sounds of breaking air.
Alzak and Bisca are worthy of being the strongest snipers in the guild. They shoot one arrow every three seconds on average, and never miss a target. Just with a quick glance, they can distinguish which shots the opponent has shot but they have not, and which shots they have shot but the opponent has not. They will immediately make up for the former, and deliberately avoid the latter.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
“Wow… so awesome!!”
"This is truly a sharpshooter!!"
"So handsome, Bisca!!"
“I can’t compare to you at all…”
"Oh no! Juvia and Gray-sama's love is about to face a serious crisis!!"
Whether they were fellow guild members or strangers whose names they did not know, they were all stunned by the couple's actions. Several teams that had already registered for the competition even chose to surrender directly to avoid embarrassment.
“Time’s up!!”
"The blue arrows hit 99, the pink arrows hit 98, and the simultaneous hits totaled 95! The final score is 95 points!"
The staff member was extremely shocked by the data he read out. After working in this industry for several years, this was the first time he saw someone get such a high score in this game.
Kira and the others were all shocked by this incredible score.
"They are truly worthy of being called the Bullet Couple!!"
