After demonstrating and explaining the ring toss, the next step is kick and throwing targets.

　I prepare each target with soil magic.

　The kick target ball is a cushioned ball made of cloth and made into a soccer ball.

　The ball for the throwing target was made directly into a ball with soil magic to make it easier to throw.

　And when I let Elinora's sister, who does it with great enthusiasm, try it....

Al!　This kick target and pitch target thing is awesome!　I, for one, think this is going to be a blast!

　This bite was superb.

　I guess the ring toss just now wasn't enough for her. Elinora's sister seemed to be very pleased with this game, which uses her motor skills to a tee.

'Silvio, let's do it again!　Al, re-target them with magic!

　Even now that I'm done with the whole thing, sister Elinora still urges me to do it again.

　Speaking of kick targets, the best part is the exhilarating feeling of dropping a panel with my kicked ball.

　Of course, I know that, and I use earth magic to make only the parts of the panel vulnerable so that I can drop it on impact.

　So when someone drops the panel, I have to reapply the panel with my magic again.

　I use earth magic to fit the panel that has fallen through the hole in the panel.

　It's the perfect amount that can easily come off the frame subtly. I've never tried to put it on halfway, so it's subtly difficult to do this deliberately.

　If it's too fragile, it will fall down if the wind blows it down, and conversely, if it's too strong, it will bounce off the ball.

　It should not be so weak that the wind will knock it down, nor strong enough to bounce the ball back. It's a fine salt.

'Yes, now I've got it!'

Thank you.

　I guess she understands that I'm having fun thanks to my magic, and Elinora sister thanks me with a rare, innocent smile.

　It would be nice if you could always thank me that honestly.

　Seeing our scene, Nord Dad says what he thinks.

'This is interesting, but I feel like it's going to be less interesting without Al around all the time.

　Indeed. This means I'll have to be on the ground here 24/7 and practicing my magic.

　I can't afford to waste my time on a harvest festival.

　You have to make something that anyone can do.

"Hmm, maybe we could make it out of wood.

I guess so, but can you get the panel off?　Well, it seems to me that the panel part could be substituted with cloth...

　Well, it's true that if we can attach the panel part with cloth, we can do it without removing it every time.

Yeah!

　Boom!

'Yes!　You just dropped a nine-point panel!

　Sister Elinora, who shoots and drops panels like a professional football player in front of us.

　When you're having that much fun, it seems like cloth isn't enough, right?

　In fact, if I was going to do it too, I'd be more excited to do it if I could drop the panel.

　After all, when it comes to kick targets, you have to aim, kick, and feel a sense of accomplishment for shooting it off.

''I think if you put a dent in the part where you attach the panel, it will somehow make it fall off on impact. If the panels are too thin, they'll break too soon, and if they're too thick, they won't come off, so it's important that they're just the right amount of thinness, although they'll be somewhat expendable.

'I see, then maybe Al won't have to use magic all the time. I suppose we can do the same thing with our pitching targets.

　Perhaps it's because there's a prospect of being able to do it with just the villagers without much cost, but Dad Nord gives me a very satisfied look. I don't even have to mention the ring toss. I can recreate it on wood.

　Yeah, now I won't have to do the labor of re-fitting the panels with magic.

　The woodworkers, Ehrman and the others, though, are going to be pretty busy until the harvest festival.

'The best!　I'm going to shoot first this time!

　I casually looked towards the pitching target, and there Meena was shouting with enthusiasm.

　With Mother Erna by her side, she seems to have drawn in the maids who were watching with interest.

　Since it's mainly enjoyed by the villagers rather than us noblemen, their impressions will be necessary as well.

　However, from the way they seem to be enjoying themselves, I don't think I need to hear their impressions.

Hahaha. You're going to be in a hole in the ground again anyway, right?

You're looking at the punchline, sir.

'Yea, this time I'm the best!　We'll see!

　Mel and Saara tease her, but Meena insists on throwing without losing.

　That's exactly the motion of a normal woman's pitching.

　It's a far cry from her sister Elinora's sudden wind-up, like a professional baseball pitcher.

　As I watched with a smile, the ball thrown by Meena was sucked cleanly into the middle of the hole without heading to the panel of 1 - the hole.

　As usual, Meena doesn't miss the punchline.

'Haha, look at that!

'Ah!　Why is that?!

　If it was a baseball, it would have been a brilliant strike. But with a pitching target, it requires more skillful control than the skill of throwing it down the middle.

''Meena-senpai is very animalistic, so I'm sure she'll subconsciously aim at the panel with the hole in it.

What's that?

　Meena has voiced her skepticism, but somehow you can see what Saara is trying to say.

　The kick and throwing targets are going to be a lot of fun, since not only Elinora sister, who is hard to call a common woman, but also Meena and Saara, who are also villagers, enjoy doing it.

　As I'm thinking with satisfaction, Erna's mother comes over to me.

'Hey, Al. The ring toss and kick target are both fun and good, but is there anything that Alecia-sama and Lana-sama can enjoy in a more relaxed manner?

　So, the literal translation is a classy game, as befits a noblewoman.

　Indeed, if you ask me, both kick and throwing targets seem to be games that don't seem to be appropriate for a young lady. Rah-chan seems to be willing to do it, but Alecia or something quite ladylike, and she might not be good at this kind of intense physical activity.

　If it's a ring toss, it might be okay, but it's not so subtle when it comes to being classy.

　Table tennis, which is a gentleman's game, is also classified as exercise.

　A game that even girls can enjoy in a relaxed manner........

I haven't shown you yet, but how about scooping fish?　It sounded like you were listening to Al, though it was a lot calmer.

　As I'm pondering, Dad Nord, who's next to me, says

　Oh, come to think of it, that's what's left.

　If it's a goldfish scoop - not a goldfish scoop, but a small fish scoop, even Alecia or something like that would be able to participate calmly.

　Yes, it's like an aristocratic game, like scooping up little fish swimming in a tank and playing with them.

Yes, that would certainly be relaxing and fun. But you have to prepare the fish and stuff, so...

　It goes without saying that we need to secure fish to put in the tank, but above all, we need to make scoop poi.

　I'll have Ehrman do his best to make the frame, but the problem is the washi paper.

　Thin washi paper like the one in my previous life is indeed not available in this world - no, there's a country that seems to have it. Come to think of it, Kagura had shoji screens, so there must actually be washi paper!

　This is going to be great. Let's transition to Kagura a little later and look at the Japanese paper.

'Yeah, but it looks like it can be made, and I'll try to make one soon.

Oh, yeah?　Then show me when you're ready.

　I nodded at Dad Nord's words.

　The many food stalls and small fish scooping...it's starting to look a lot like a festival, isn't it?

　Even in a past life, I loved summer festivals, so I'm a little more enthusiastic about them.

　I'd really like to try my hand at scooping small fish.

　I don't know about Eric and Alecia, but Ra-chan might be pleased with it.

　I looked forward to playing at the harvest festival, and thought about the plan for the small fish scooping.
