The boss was stunned, not expecting this overly beautiful young girl to have such good luck.
The reason he marveled at her luck rather than her skill was, of course, because he had tampered with the arrows.
In fact, out of the 10 arrows, at least two were problematic.
This created a false impression for players, making them feel like they had mastered a technique or found a trick.
But in reality, once they relied on this feeling, there would always be times when they made mistakes.
Therefore, even for experienced players, hitting the bullseye with 7 out of 10 arrows was already considered very strong.
"Whoosh!"
The second arrow shot out, still hitting the not-too-large bullseye.
The boss still had that indifferent expression.
But then, Yoimiya's actions not only astonished the boss but also surprised Xavier, who was standing beside her.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
She shot three arrows in quick succession, each with an estimated interval of less than 0.5 seconds.
It was no exaggeration to say you'd miss it if you blinked!
"Holy cow, I must be seeing things, this girl is amazing at archery."
"I saw it too, she seemed to shoot three arrows at once, like a machine gun."
"Come on, let's go check it out!"
These three arrows attracted everyone nearby.
When they saw five arrows already in the bullseye and five more in the quiver, they knew this girl was indeed very skilled, currently hitting every shot.
Under everyone's gaze, Yoimiya picked up the sixth arrow.
The boss, who had been somewhat nervous, now had a playful expression.
Because this was the arrow he had tampered with; both the required force and accuracy were different from the other arrows.
But his expression quickly vanished.
Yoimiya actually made an adjustment, moving her aim slightly down.
"Whoosh!"
The sixth arrow hit!
"Good!"
The onlookers applauded, all impressed by Yoimiya's exquisite skill.
Xavier, standing nearby, couldn't help but click his tongue, not expecting Yoimiya's archery to be so formidable.
Although Yoimiya was indeed a bow-wielding character in the game, there were no detailed descriptions of this aspect.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Next, Yoimiya repeated her three-arrow rapid-fire technique, drawing even more enthusiastic applause and cheers from everyone.
The boss was on the verge of tears, not expecting to encounter such a master.
He had thought this young girl was mediocre at ring toss and would surely be even worse at archery.
After all that, it turned out he was the lamb to be slaughtered...
"Whoosh!"
As the last arrow landed in the bullseye, Yoimiya achieved a grand slam!
Putting down the bow and arrow, Yoimiya returned to her usual lively demeanor.
Yoimiya came up to Xavier and boasted, "Haha, Xavier, how was that? Wasn't I amazing?"
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
Xavier put away his phone, gave a thumbs-up, and praised her from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, why are there so many people? Is this a queue?"
After she came to her senses, Yoimiya realized there were so many people watching nearby.
"Miss, your archery is too incredible!"
"Exactly, especially when you shot three arrows in a row just now, it was like an acrobatics show!"
"Where did you learn? I want to sign up too..."
Seeing so many people praising her, Yoimiya was a little embarrassed.
"Boss, where's the prize!"
Xavier held out his hand to the boss, a proud look on his face.
The boss was heartbroken, but for the sake of his reputation, he still handed the oversized plush toy to Xavier.
As he gave it to Xavier, his face was filled with reluctance.
If Xavier hadn't been strong enough, he wouldn't have been able to pull it away.
"Let's go, Xavier, let's take a walk and digest our food!"
Yoimiya was also very humanitarian and decided not to exploit the boss any further.
It was almost midnight by now, and there were far fewer pedestrians and vehicles on the street than before.
Yoimiya walked ahead, her hands clasped behind her back.
Xavier followed behind her, carrying the plush toy.
After walking for 10 minutes, Xavier couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Yoimiya, where are we going now?"
Yoimiya turned her head and smiled, "I don't know, hehe."
Xavier chuckled, "I thought you had somewhere you wanted to go."
"This is my first time here, and I don't know the area, but I just feel so comfortable being able to go wherever I want. What do you think?"
Xavier deeply resonated with that feeling and nodded in agreement.
Although he didn't know where they were going next, being able to walk with Yoimiya on the midnight streets was already enough.
After walking for about an hour, Yoimiya was probably a bit tired.
Coincidentally, there was a park nearby, so the two sat by the lake to rest.
Yoimiya hugged the Pink Panther, swinging her feet, a smile radiating from her face.
Xavier asked, "Did you have fun today?"
"Very happy, thank you, Xavier."
After speaking, Yoimiya looked up at the sky, wondering what she was thinking.
Suddenly, she turned her head and asked, "Xavier, you said you met me in a game, so you must know me very well, right?"
"Hmm... I guess so. As far as I know, you're a very sunny and kind-hearted girl who loves making fireworks and crafts, right?"
Although he didn't know why Yoimiya suddenly asked this question, Xavier still answered honestly.
"Haha, so you think so highly of me, but actually, even so, there are times when I overthink things."
"Especially when Traveler said she was from another world."
"I can't help but wonder, with so many stars in the sky, is every single one inhabited?"
"Do they also set off fireworks, or do they not like fireworks, and look different from us, or maybe they're all Hilichurls!"
Xavier was amused by Yoimiya's strange but interesting thoughts.
She rarely retained such innocence, which is why she had these wild fantasies.
Xavier remembered the last time he thought like this was probably when he was in elementary school.
Yoimiya hugged the Pink Panther tightly and said to Xavier, "Don't laugh, or are you saying you think I'm childish?"
"No, not at all!" Xavier waved his hands repeatedly.
Yoimiya believed Xavier wasn't deceiving her and continued to murmur, "Actually, the older I get, the more I realize this world isn't so simple."
"Why do some people engage in malicious competition when everyone is doing the same thing?"
"And why do some friends, who used to be so close, drift apart after growing up?"
"There are countless questions like these, and I can't understand them, nor do I want to."
Xavier opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out.
Behind Yoimiya's pure kindness lay a series of painful choices.
She resisted the "adult" world, so she deliberately turned a blind eye to some things.
This made Xavier feel a pang of sympathy; indeed, no one's world is easy.
Although he didn't know how to comfort Yoimiya, he secretly vowed to bring more smiles to Yoimiya's face!
