  1. Everyone dolled up! 2-4N
  2.  
  3. [Gym]
  4.  
  5. Wak: The next part of doll training is... "To have the heart to pray for the happiness of people that look at you", huh.
  6.  
  7. Tam: What, that's normal. Everyone's normally like that anyway, right?
  8.  
  9. Tak: Yeah. This is what our duty as Heroes is for, after all.
  10.  
  11. Wak: Then I guess we'll mark this as already learned and move on to the next one.
  12.  
  13. Hin: Please wait. Why not do them one by one as the book says if we're doing it?
  14.  
  15. Wak: Well, if you say so, Hinata. What exactly should I do, though? Hmm...
  16.  
  17. Wak: Hundred Hands festival? What does this have to do with doll training?
  18.  
  19. Tam: Huh? Peach festival? [1]
  20.  
  21. Tak: You mean like how they also call Hinamatsuri the Festival of Peaches?
  22.  
  23. Wak: No, not like that. The Hundred Hands festival is a traditional festival passed down in cities on the outskirts of Shikoku.
  24.  
  25. Hin: It's a festival where people pray for a bountiful harvest by shooting a target that imitates a demon with 200 arrows.
  26.  
  27. Tam: If there are 200 arrows, why "Hundred Hands"? Tama's head is all jumbled up!
  28.  
  29. Hin: Two arrows form one "hand", which is why the name is "Hundred Hands". [2]
  30.  
  31. Tak: Two arrows form one hand, two people form one - like the emperor and empress dolls!
  32.  
  33. Wak: I see, so that's why it's written in this book. Understandable.
  34.  
  35. Tam: Let's go practice archery right now!
  36.  
  37. [Dojo]
  38.  
  39. Anz: Tamacchi-senpai, I got us the dojo just like you said to.
  40.  
  41. Tam: Thanks, Anzu! The two of us are one hand too!
  42.  
  43. Wak: Okay, Hinata. Try pulling the bow.
  44.  
  45. Hin: Alright, here I go then. Ei!
  46.  
  47. Yuu: Ah! It dropped before it reached the target.
  48.  
  49. Hin: This is quite difficult. One more try. Ei!
  50.  
  51. Tam: Whoa! Now it came flying this way! How did you even manage that!?
  52.  
  53. Hin: I'm sorry. I'm bad at all sorts of physical activity, so archery is a little...
  54.  
  55. Wak: Hinata, don't get so worked up. I'll teach you the fundamentals, so watch carefully.
  56.  
  57. Wak: First of all, this is your basic stance. Then you focus your eyes on the target...
  58.  
  59. Hin: Heehee, to think I can see you seriously staring that target down so close...
  60.  
  61. Hin: No, this isn't the time to get carried away. I won't waste this rare training!
  62.  
  63. Anz: That's our Wakaba-san! A clean shot, she didn't stray even by a millimetre.
  64.  
  65. Wak: That does it for the basics. Hinata, give it a try.
  66.  
  67. Hin: Okay. Time to remember how Wakaba-chan looked just now, mmm! Now!
  68.  
  69. Hin: I-I hit!
  70. ===
  71. Notes:
  72. 1 - The "momo" in "momonote" can mean both peach and an archaic reading of "hundred".
  73. 2 - Japanese arrows come in pairs (Haya that spins clockwise and otoya that spins counter-clockwise)
