They were still in the stage of practicing their stance and pulling rubber bands, envious of the seniors who could stand at the shooting position and draw a bow.
The ringing of the phone came at an inopportune time, and Uesugi Sakura, clutching his bamboo bow, walked down from the shooting position.
He answered the call.
Uesugi Sakura: "Hello?"
Uesugi Shio: "Cough, cough, Sakura, do you know where our advisor went?"
Uesugi Sakura: "No idea."
Uesugi Shio: "I can't reach him by phone, and he hasn't been to the Kendo Department for two days. If he doesn't come to school soon, we're going to have to dismiss him."
Uesugi Sakura: "The school actually employed him?"
Uesugi Shio: "What did you think, Sakura—that he came to work for free? He keeps saying Kendo is boring, but he's not saying it for nothing, even though he is quite skilled."
Hanamaru Yugetsu teaches earnestly.
