Kiragi: Wow, what a great day for hunting! Hmm? What's that noise?
Takumi: *rustle*
Kiragi: DAD! I'm so glad we bumped into each other. Did you come out here to hunt, too?
Takumi: Well, something like that. I've been watching that deer over there. But for some reason, I haven't been able to take it down.
Kiragi: Hmm... That's a really tough shot. Hey! Since we're both here now, can I help you try to hit it? Maybe you could give me some pointers about my technique.
Takumi: Sure, I don't see why not.
Kiragi: Yippee! OK, quickly now... Ready... Aim... ...Fire!
Takumi: Y-you... You took it down in one shot! I must have fired at least 10 arrows, and I didn't hit anything.
Kiragi: Woohoo! Bingo! I'm so happy that I hit it!
Takumi: (His hunting skills are phenomenal. At this rate, he'll surpass my abilities in no time.)
Kiragi: Hey, Dad! What do you think? Are my skills OK?
Takumi: Well. Err... Ahem... You hit your mark, but you're obviously quite inexperienced. You drew the bowstring halfheartedly and neglected your balance and stability. Shooting like that is no good.
Kiragi: Oh. I see...
Takumi: Kiragi? Did I say too much? I just wanted to help with your form.
Kiragi: I understand... You're right. My posture is terrible, just like you said.
Takumi: That's it? You're not going to object?
Kiragi: Why should I? You're just being strict because you love me and want to help me improve, right?
Takumi: Well, that's true, but... It's odd to see you nodding so obediently. Is something else on your mind?
Kiragi: No, I just want to work even harder. Thanks for helping me improve, Dad! I'd better head down the mountain and do some serious practicing.
(Kiragi leaves)
Takumi: Hmm... Kiragi has certainly grown to be an obedient child, hasn't he? We're very different people. But I must admit, I envy his skill...

Kiragi: Hello, Dad! Would you mind helping me out with some bow work?
Takumi: You're still training?
Kiragi: I sure am! Remember how you told me last time that my posture was weak? Well, I've been working to try and improve it ever since. Would you mind observing as I shoot and pointing out any mistakes you see?
Takumi: O-OK. Fire away.
Kiragi: Yay! Thanks, Dad! All right, watch this. I'm gonna try to hit the tree way over there. I hope I managed to fix my balance and draw the string right this time... Ready... Aim... Fire!
Takumi: (Incredible! How could he make that shot from this distance...?)
Kiragi: So? Was my form better, Dad?
Takumi: Honestly, it was perfect. There is nothing to critique. You've done very well, Kiragi.
Kiragi: Really? That's so exciting!
Takumi: Listen, I have to tell you something. When you shot that deer the other day, there was nothing bad about your form.
Kiragi: What?
Takumi: You took down your prey so easily... When I saw that... Well, it made me jealous. That's the only reason I was criticizing you. I'm a terrible, petty father, Kiragi. I'm so sorry for failing you...
Kiragi: Dad... You didn't fail me at all. You were right about something that day. I really am inexperienced. Even if I wasn't making a ton of mistakes, our conversation inspired me. I've been practicing nonstop thanks to you. I'm very grateful.
Takumi: Kiragi, I don't know what to say...
Kiragi: If you don't mind, I would love for you to coach me some more. It's so much fun learning from you.
Takumi: Why come to me? There are a great many archers with skill superior to my own.
Kiragi: Well... It's because you're my target.
Takumi: T-target?
Kiragi: Yeah! I really admire how you're so calm and cool, no matter the situation. You've got experience fighting in the war, and you wield a divine weapon, too. You're amazing, Dad! I want to be just like you someday!
Takumi: Son...
Kiragi: I-is something wrong?
Takumi: It's just... I'm really not the incredible man you seem to think I am.
Kiragi: Huh? What do you mean?
Takumi: My archery skill is primarily due to Fujin Yumi's power. My shots appear to be perfect, but that's not because of my actual ability. And my calm composure? That's a simple ruse to make others think I'm coolheaded. Inside, I'm a weak, anxious fool who's always worried what people think of me. I'm the type of man who harbors feelings of envy toward his own son. I'm so sorry, Kiragi. Please, ask someone else to assist you with bow training. I must excuse myself...
(Takumi leaves)
Kiragi: Ah, Dad, wait! Wait...

Kiragi: Hello, Dad.
Takumi: Kiragi, there you are.
Kiragi: I wanted to ask you a favor. Lend me Fujin Yumi.
Takumi: Why?
Kiragi: Well, you said before that you depend on Fujin Yumi for your skill. If that's true and I used it, then I could be just as strong as you, right?
Takumi: Yes. Yes, I suppose so...
Kiragi: Then let me borrow it. I want to see if your abilities really do come from Fujin Yumi.
Takumi: Hmm... All right, fine. But please, take care not to damage it.
Kiragi: Wow... It's so much heavier than it looks. Where are the bowstrings and arrows?
Takumi: Fujin Yumi produces them itself. Now, breathe slowly, and focus. It may be too difficult at first, so I'll do it for you. Hold still... ...There you go.
Kiragi: WOW! The string and arrows appeared out of nowhere! That's amazing! Do they disappear again if your concentration breaks? OK. I think I'm ready. See that tree over there? I'm gonna try and hit it. Ready... Aim... ...Wah?!
Takumi: Wow...
Kiragi: I missed completely. I've never shot a bow like this before. You must need to be incredibly strong in order to use it. Not to mention strong willed. It's nearly impossible to hold the bow and concentrate at the same time. It's amazing how you can use this without any problem at all.
Takumi: I'm really not exceptional, Son. If you practice hard, you will eclipse my skill in no time.
Kiragi: Why are you still talking like that?! I really think you're amazing. Why don't you believe me? Don't you know that I admire you more than anyone else in the whole world?! So please stop being stupid and saying bad things about yourself. I HATE IT!
Takumi: K-Kiragi?! Oh please, don't cry.
Kiragi: NO! I won't stop crying until you stop saying so many bad things about yourself. To me, you're the best dad ever, and I'm sick of hearing otherwise!
Takumi: OK, OK, calm down. I get it. I'll be quiet.
Kiragi: Really? Do you promise? Then, try repeating after me: "I am an amazing person."
Takumi: What...?
Kiragi: Please, just say it!
Takumi: Fine, OK. I-I am an amazing person...
Kiragi: Eheheh... Very good, Dad.
Takumi: Saying that out loud makes me feel like a really bad person, though.
Kiragi: I told you to stop! You're not! You're the coolest person ever!
Takumi: Heh... Well thank you, Kiragi. You really cheered me up. I admit, you made me feel more confident. Thank you for being such a wonderful son. I'll do everything in my power to make you proud of me. Now, how about we do some practicing together? I would love to show you how to properly wield Fujin Yumi.
Kiragi: *gasp* Really?! Are you sure?!
Takumi: Yes, of course. Today, your training begins.
Kiragi: Yaaaaay! This is so exciting. Thank you! I love you so much!
Takumi: I love you, too, Son.
