Dad Nord asked me to explain, and I gave a brief description of the ideas I had put forth.

　But while I could understand what they were, I didn't know what exactly was fun about them. That's what I was told, especially the ring toss and small fish scooping.

　That's certainly true, too.

　If you ask me what's so interesting about just throwing a ring to an object, the words alone don't really do it justice. So I decided to demonstrate it in the courtyard to get a feel for the fun of it.

　When I stepped out into the courtyard, my family members followed me in droves.

　While they looked at me strangely, I activated my earth magic in an appropriate sandy spot.

　I create a simple square board and make a prop so that it faces diagonally.

''What's that?''　It's like a table that's lost a leg.

　Then something like Elinora's sister's field trip comes flying in from behind. Losing a leg is an interesting analogy.

　Indeed, if you look at this platform, it seems as if it has lost one of its legs and has fallen over.

　With a chuckle at the sensibility of Elinora's sister, she divides the platform into nine squares and raises a pillar of support at the center point.

　All that's left to do is dig the numbers 1, 2, and 3 into those squares from the top left corner and make a loop for throwing them with earth magic, and you're done.

'Yes, it's done!'

　I called out to them, and everyone who had been watching in the distance came over.

''You sculpted it with your earth magic in no time at all. I wonder if you can eat enough on this road already?

I think so, too.

　Despite what Mother Erna and Father Nord have said about that, I'm not going to work.

　No matter how many competent results I could achieve if I went down that path, working is out of my future plans.

　I want to be able to make money without doing anything like reversies, ping pong or spaghetti earnings.

　Well, as long as I can sell something I made as a hobby, as in this case. Oh, I might add, assuming I don't work against selling it.

'So what do I have to do to throw these hoops at the pillar?

'Yeah, if you get into the pillar, that number will be your score. We'll go one-on-one and whoever gets the most of it wins.

Oh, well, I'll give it a try. You can help me.

Okay.

　Elinora sister is going to challenge me confidently, so I'll take it.

　I mean, it won't go smoothly if I don't do it, having come up with the idea.

　I nodded and Elinora sister took half of the rings in my arms.

　She seemed to want to do it herself first, even though she was complaining about something.

　Elinora moved to the front of the platform and turned back to me.

''Where are you going to throw this from?''

Hmm, maybe five meters is about right.

　I'm going to get close and measure the distance between me and the platform.

　I don't want to be too close or too far away, and this is about right.

Isn't that a little too close?

'This is about as good as it gets at first. If it was easy, you'd just have to start further back.

　When I said that, Elinora's sister took her place five meters away from me, as if she understood for the time being.

''Then you can throw it five times.

　If it's an official rule, there seems to be some detailed rules, such as throwing nine times each, or fifteen points if you put them in a vertical alignment, but I'll keep it simple this time.

　It's too long to throw nine times each.

'Well, I'll give it a go then.

　Sister Elinora held one of the rings and leveled it out and flew it.

　The wheel that flew steadily, hit a single square in the upper left corner and bounced off.

''Ah!　I was played!

That's because they can't throw it that hard.

　It's not a shuriken or a Frisbee, so if you throw it that hard, it's bound to pop if you throw it that way.

　As a result of throwing the ring, we tend to think that snapping with the wrist is all that is needed to throw the ring, but in fact, this is not the case.

　The trick is to hold it in front of the center line of your body and throw it as if you were pushing it out.

The trick is to hold it in front of the center line of your body and push it out. So, next time I'll throw with a little more moderation.

　Based on the earlier failure, sister Elinora throws it while adding or subtracting.

　However, the same snap on the wrist as before is still working.

　The loop didn't hit the pillar, but instead hit nothing and was played.

''Hahaha, for all your confidence, you missed it.

...Hey, can I do this from further away?

　I thought she was going to step on the ground in response to my provocation, but sister Elinora calmly told me so.

''Yes, it's fine, though?''

　The farther away you are from the target, the more difficult it is to throw because the distance between you and the target is greater and the ring is subject to greater air resistance. There shouldn't be any point in throwing it from afar, though.

　While I was wondering about it, Elinora's sister was far away from me.

　It's a distance of 20 meters.

　Is it something that can be entered by throwing it from such a distance?

　When you are wondering that, Elinora sister enters the same motion as before.

　With a dignified expression on her face, she flies the loop in her right hand with a snap of her wrist.

　The sharply released ring flew without wobbling in the air and stoned into a single pillar in the upper left corner.

''It's in!''

What's the matter with you?

What?　Just put it in the column with the numbers written on it, right?

'Uh, yeah, but...'

　It's not like the ring toss I know.

It's going to be hard to throw it in from that far away.

I don't think I could throw it.

　Mother Erna, Brother Silvio, don't get me wrong.

　That's not a proper ring toss.

Anyway, that's a point!　Next time I'll go for the highest scoring nine!

　Sister Elinora throws a loop at the nine points in the lower right corner.

　This is a difficult place where if it's not good, it might hit the ground or another pillar and be played off. Still, Elinora's sister got it in nicely.

　And then she puts in the third and fourth in the same way.

　It's like watching a circus juggling act.

　It should be much more difficult to get the wrist snap to work and control.

　And then the last pitch.

　The loop released from sister Elinora's hand flew straight at me.

　And I thought it was going to go in beautifully again, but it was popped because of the loop that was already contained.

''Oh God!　Why do they play it!

The longer you throw it from a distance, the more powerful it is naturally.

　Elinora's sister is frustrated that she didn't get in at the end.

　It seems to be so frustrating that she didn't get in at the end.

　She seems to have licked the ring toss the most, but it looks like she's getting into it beautifully when she tries it.

'Elinora, what score do you think you scored?

　As I was smiling at Sister Elinora, Mother Erna suddenly had a math problem.

''Eh.........twenty-eight points.

It's been quite a while, hasn't it?

Kyu, you just surprised me when you asked me that question on such short notice!

　I feel like there was quite a pause for that.

　Elinora sister is a bit impatient when she gets a jitzy look from Erna mom, and she's a bit impatient.

''Well then, it's my turn next, isn't it?''

　Sister Elinora finished throwing it five times, so it's my turn.

　However, it's a hindrance if the ring remains on the pillar, so I collected it with my psychic.

　I handed it to Brother Silvio, who seemed to want to touch it somewhere.

　Then Nord Dad and Mother Erna, who were standing by nervously, also started to touch the loop.

　It's funny to see grown men and women holding the loop.

　When I was ready, I moved to a position five meters away from the platform.

　I draw a line with my foot to use this place as a reference point.

　Then I hear a frustrated voice from sister Elinora behind me.

'You're throwing from that close?'

Normally, they're thrown from this distance.

　There's something wrong with the Elinora sister who puts in a long throw like a fool. I mean, that's not what I'm proposing to do with the circle throw.

　Hold the ring in front of the center line of your body with your right foot facing the platform. From there, I toss it upward at a slight angle to push it out.

　Then my loop flies off and lands in the square of nine with a thud.

　All that's left to do is repeat it four times.

　When I threw the rings, all of them fell into the nine squares as if they were sucked into the air.

Yes, a total of forty-five points. That's an overwhelming victory for me.

　Huh, I've always been an expert at ring tossing at street stalls to secure my toys.

　I'm not as athletic as Elinora's sister, but my experience of throwing hoops is different.

　I had a smug look on my face when Elinora came over to me.

''Hey! What's that!　How can you get in there so easily?　You're using psychics and other tricks again!

I didn't use it. It's what I'm good at.

　It's so sad to be suspected of having magical powers. I'm usually the one who plays fair and square.

'What?　Oh, it went in nicely. Six points.

Oh, me too. Five points.

Ha-ha, I got played.

　Looking at the side, Mother Erna, Father Nord and Brother Silvio are playing ring toss.

　As long as they are having fun doing it, the reaction is not bad.

　Rather, they seem to be throwing the rings and going to retrieve them, competing peacefully to see who can get the most points.

At first I didn't understand how fun it was to just throw the loop on a pole, but now that I've tried it, it's surprisingly fun.

''The number crunching comes naturally to me, and it's good for the villagers to improve their education.

A little boy could do this.

　Hmm, I'm sure that's one of the aspects of the game.

　After all, it was a game that was deeply rooted in previous lives, so it must have various advantages.
