All right! Eh!

 Ra-chan let out a cute little voice and threw the ball away.

 The ball, which had a mountainous trajectory, hit the first board beautifully and came loose.

'Oh, wow! The board is out!

"Lady Rana, you are brilliant.

Oh, it's amazing how you can just pull the board out of the air.

"Ehehehe, this is fun!

 When Loretta and I praise her, Ra-chan laughs happily.

 Even with Ra-chan's power, I had the board fitted just in time for it to come out, and the board that the ball hit came out properly.

 I'm not sure if it came off or not, but it felt like it was pushed out, but I don't have to say anything about that.

"Shall we try throwing Alecia-sama next?

Yeah, I'll try.

 He holds out the ball and Alecia takes it and walks away.

 As expected, she doesn't intend to throw it from the position that Ra-chan threw it.

 Aleixia stopped at about six meters away, taking a little distance.

 She throws the ball upwards with one hand and catches it. She must be checking the feel of the ball. He doesn't seem to be athletic dullness as he is able to do that with ease, at least while looking at the target.

'Maybe I should try for the fifth?'

 Aleixia stares at her target, then smiles leisurely and declares where she's aiming.

 Apparently, she's confident in her own control of the ball.

 Aleixia caught the ball in the air and threw the ball, using her lower body firmly.

 The ball released from Aleixia's arm went through the air and sounded like it was going to hit a wooden board with a great deal of success.

 However, it wasn't the target that it hit, but the wooden wall behind it that served as a ball stopper.

 I didn't know how to react, as I had declared so proudly.

 Should I say it was close? Or should I say don't.

Off.

 As me and Loretta were wondering what was going on, Ra-chan dutifully described the phenomenon that occurred in front of us.

 'Ra-chan, it's good to be honest, but there are things that don't need to be said about things.

'Bo, it's been so long since I've thrown a ball, I'm afraid I've missed the point.

Just for the target?

'Phew, Master Alfried. Please don't.

 Since Alecia said something like a pun, Loretta was blown away when she unintentionally poked her head in.

 This maid might be surprisingly weak to a silly gag.

''Just for the target?''

Pfffft, Rana-sama, don't do this.

 When Ra-chan unintentionally mimicked my words, Loretta was blown away again.

 I'd like to play around a bit more, but I'm afraid of the consequences if Alecia herself hears me, so I'll leave it at that.

 I don't want to be spellbound like Ra-chan's dad.

 Aleixia buzzes her shoulders, and Lim, who was standing by her side, hands her the next ball.

'This time it's number five.'

 Then he threw the ball as before. But the ball flew off the target again.

"Oh, that's strange. It's not supposed to be like this...

 Alecia muttered as if she couldn't believe it herself.

"Could it be that Alecia is not good at exercise?

 Ra-chan clearly says what I had been thinking about for a while.

'No, it's not! Alaysia-sama is as good as a knight when it comes to holding a spear, and she even performs at festivals and parties in the capital!

 Is it the spearmanship of a knight and the ability to be asked to perform at festivals and parties?

 The weapon called a spear is quite difficult to handle, perhaps because it is only long. Just being able to use it is a great feat. There is no way that her athleticism is bad.

 And Alecia's pitching form itself is not at all strange.

 What's going on?

 As I tilt my head back, I hear a lilting sound from next to me.

'Next, I'm going third!'

 I looked in that direction and saw that Sister Elinora was just about to throw the ball.

 She stood on her right foot alone and stepped in with her left foot as if shifting her weight, then turned her hips and twitched her arms.

 It's like a pitcher in a previous life. I guess that's what happened when I optimized the movement of throwing the ball in my mind. She's a horrible older sister who has taught herself to raise her game to that level.

 The ball flew through the air with great force and pulled out of the board just as the Elinora sister had declared.

''Sixth next!''

 The Elinora sister declares again and throws, and the board comes off as she declares it.

 I don't care if it's a slow ball that you're going to aim at, but every speed that Elinora sister throws is a hard fast ball. All of them are ones that seem to be seriously trying to take out the batter.

 It goes without saying that she was able to control the ball perfectly.

 Eventually, Elinora sister shoots through all the targets without leaking, and then changes her pitching to Luna-san with a radiant look.

'...................Number one.

 As Mr. Ehrman finished setting up the board, Luna threw a short declaration.

 Awkward but solid form.

 The ball thrown by Luna-san neatly passed through the top left hand side of the board.

'....Pleasant. Next up is number two.

 He doesn't look the least bit exhilarated, but I'm sure it was exhilarating for him.

 Luna-san throws the ball while silently declaring it.

 All of them pulled out of the target as he declared, and with each throw, the stiffness of his form was disappearing.

'I'll be next. Number five.

 Then Luna finishes throwing, and now Eric.

 Eric uses his big arms and throws the ball with great vigor.

 He doesn't have the suppleness of his sister Elinora or Ms. Luna, but he throws with a lot of power.

 Eric's throw deviated to the right from the middle and shot past the next sixth.

'....Eric, off.

I know. I'll take number five.

 He throws the ball again, replying in frustration to Luna's teasing.

 It was just as declared this time, shooting through the fifth board in the middle.

 Eric's longest smug face was launched.

'Phew, now number seven.'

 Eric shoots through the boards while grinning and laughing as if he were having fun.

 As I thought, they're pretty athletic over there, just because they're a martial arts group.

 Both Luna-san and Eric aren't as good as Elinora sister, but they're both throwing the ball pretty well.

 Elinora sister watches such a scene from behind with her arms crossed.

 That face with the wrinkles on her face is probably a part of the Elinora sisterly concern.

'Luna, you need to goof up your left arm more, okay? It's faster that way.

Eric is squeezing and his arms are like a whip!

"...Really? Next time, I'll be more conscious about it.

"Squeeze the whip?

 Mr. Luna nodded firmly after listening to the sensory advice of Sister Elinora and Eric was confused.

 Luna-san seems to have understood Sister Elinora's sensory advice, but Eric doesn't seem to understand it well.

 Of course, I don't understand it either.

 What's that guffaw or giggle now? I have no idea what the onomatopoeia alone does.

 Anyway, Luna-san seemed to understand what Elinora sister said and threw the ball again. Then the ball that Luna-san threw became so fast that it looked different than before.



Right?

 I see, the guff just now was to draw the arm not to throw the ball to my body. Thanks to Luna-san's decent words, I finally understood what I was aware of.

 But this is definitely not the kind of conversation a girl would have with a pitching target.

'So, what about Eric?'

 Looking at Eric, who hasn't acted on it forever, Sister Elinora asks.

''No, well, I don't know what you mean by squeezing your waist and whipping your arms...''



 What's the obvious question? Luna-san says.

 Sister Elinora nods firmly at that, so apparently that was the correct translation.

''Wow, I understand,''

 Eric opened his mouth acutely, but he didn't have the guts to be stingy with his sister Elinora's opponent, so he chewed up Luna's translation well and threw the ball.

'No, more squeezing, my arms are shrill!

That way your arms will follow on their own.

 Did sister Elinora's words really mean that now........

 However, with Luna's translation of Sister Elinora's advice, Eric's form was revised and smoothed out with a bang.

 If you look at his pitching, you'll see that it's a far cry from the first time he threw it.

 I wish we had a translator named Luna-san. That way, I won't have to be irritated by Elinora's sister at practice.

 No, no, wait a minute. That would make it sound like I'm going to get a good practice, so I'll just keep it the way it is.

 When Eric's correction is finished, Luna-san throws again.

 Each time, Elinora-san gives advice mixed with onomatopoeia, and Luna-san, who understands, throws again... and each time she repeats this, I can see that the ball gets faster and faster.

 But this is more like the spectacle of a coach coach coaching a pitcher than playing.

 Seeing Luna-san and Eric's pitching, whose ball speed is getting faster and faster with a bang, sister Elinora crossed her arms and nodded with satisfaction.

 Aleixia's form is also beautiful, but it's not as good as those three. They're really martial artists.

''Al's sister is amazing. Would I be faster if you taught me too?''

'Hmmm, maybe. You can let me know when Ra's body is bigger.

Yeah!

 As expected, I don't want even Ra-chan to become a martial artist like that.

 I prayed in my heart that the day would not come when sister Elinora would be teaching Ra-chan.
