Walking on the streets of Dotonbori, Yushan and his friends couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The night view of Osaka is really completely different from that of Kyoto and Nara.
Kyoto is not so bustling at night, let alone Nara. It is difficult to find a shop open on the street.
But in Osaka, in Dotonbori, the night scene is full of shining neon lights.
In Dotonbori, most shops are open until 11pm, and some are even open 24 hours a day.
It can be said that if you want to experience the nightlife of Kansai, coming to Osaka is definitely the right choice.
The optional activity chosen by Hayama Kazuto and his friends - bowling experience - can be experienced in the chain bowling alleys in Dotonbori.
After walking three or four hundred meters along the street, they finally saw the sign of the bowling alley.
Following the signs, we went upstairs. The bowling alley was newly decorated and had pretty good equipment, but there weren't many customers.
This is not because the popularity of this bowling alley is low, but mainly because the main force of bowling usually only appears after 9 o'clock in the evening, and then until 2 or 3 in the morning is the peak period of the bowling alley.
It's just a little after 7:30 now, so it's not crowded yet, so naturally there are fewer customers.
But this is just right. When there are many people, the fairway may be crowded, but now, you can play more comfortably.
"Hey guys, do you have a reservation code?" Seeing Yushan and a few others walk into the bowling alley, the clerk came over and asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Yushan and the others couldn't help but blink slightly and slowly reported the appointment code sent to their mobile phones by the school.
Generally speaking, the reservation code of the bowling alley is limited to the duration and the time period of use.
However, the reservation codes provided by the sponsor this time are unlimited.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, now everyone can play freely." After entering the reservation code into the computer, the clerk's attitude also became respectful.
After all, he was just a clerk and was not aware of the agreement reached between the store and Toyosaki's sponsors.
He only knew that the customers who usually came to the store with unlimited reservation codes were either rich or noble.
Although this does not mean that he needs to please Yushan and
There are only a few people, but it is still necessary to maintain a good service attitude.
Hearing this, Yushan and the others nodded and walked towards the direction of the fairway.
The entire bowling alley is very large, with a total of twenty-four lanes.
It can be said that even in a country like Japan where everyone is keen on bowling, there are only a handful of bowling alleys with so many lanes.
"Hello, do you need a coach?" Seeing Yushan and his group walking to the lane, the bowling coach who had been waiting nearby came up and greeted them.
"No need. Why do you need a coach to guide you in bowling? Death!" Before anyone else could say anything, Touma Sanae said bluntly.
Hearing this, the bowling coach knew that he was bored and walked aside angrily.
Originally, seeing so many cute girls, he wanted to come up and chat with them and show off his bowling skills, but he was unexpectedly rebuked as soon as he opened his mouth.
In fact, most people come to play bowling just to relax. As long as they can avoid getting hurt, they don’t care much about how many pins they knock down or whether the ball goes out of bounds.
Under such circumstances, the existence of bowling coaches seems a bit awkward, because they are indeed an unnecessary part of this sport.
Chapter 2546 I'll Fight Again
Although there were many lanes in the bowling alley, Yushan and his group did not each occupy a lane.
Firstly, bowling continuously can be a bit tiring. Secondly, bowling alone is not fun. It is more fun to have a little competition.
Eight people occupied a total of four fairways, with Kazuto Yuyama and Megumi Kato on the same lane.
Although Yushan Kazuto had never played bowling before, he quickly got the hang of it after just one or two times.
What surprised Yushan Kazuto was that Kato Megumi's bowling skills were quite good, and it seemed that she had practiced it before.
"Xiaohui, have you ever played bowling before?" Seeing Kato Hui knock down nine pins again, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"I used to go play with my sister." Kato Megumi stretched her shoulders slightly and said.
Although Kato Megumi is not a frequent visitor to the bowling alley, she is much more experienced than people like Rikka Takanashi and Yuki Narita who have never played bowling.
After saying that, Kato Megumi scored another goal and knocked down the last pin, and the bowling machine then replaced a new set of pins.
"I see." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but respond, walked to the lane with the bowling ball, threw it lightly, and hit a strike.
A strike is a single shot that hits all the pins, also known as a "big hit."
Knocking down all the pins with two shots, as Kato Megumi did, is called spare.
Generally speaking, for novice players, whether it is a spare or a strike, it is worth being happy about.
However, in most cases, it would be good enough for a novice player to knock down two or three pins with one shot.
Among Hayama Kazuto's group, only Takanashi Rikka and Narita Yuki had never played bowling. Watching the two of them bowling, it could be said that it was a wild goose chase.
Not only will they not hit the pins, they might even throw the bowling ball onto the rest of the lane.
You should know that there are deep grooves between different bowling lanes to prevent the ball from getting stuck.
However, even so, the two still lost the ball on the rest of the fairway.
Yushan and Ren secretly thanked their luck that the two were not strong enough, otherwise, they might have smashed the bowling ball directly into the wall or even onto the bowling machine.
In that case, the two might have to face huge compensation, after all, bowling machines are very valuable.
"strike!"
On the fairway next to Hayama Kazuto and Kato Megumi, Doma Yui and Yuuki Asuna were playing.
Both of them have pretty good bowling skills, but it is obvious that Tsuchima is better.
After throwing a few times and regaining some touch, Tsuchima Yui hit a strike.
"Umaru-chan, you're putting a lot of pressure on me." After looking at Umaru-chan, Asuna Yuuki couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but chuckle, and said with a little pride: "If you are under a lot of pressure, Asuna, you can go buy a can of drink to calm down a little. Bring one for me too."
Listening to what Tsuchima Yui said, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but look at her.
What Doma Yui meant was to make Yuuki Asuna give in and buy drinks to win people's hearts.
However, Yuuki Asuna does not have such an idea. Although her bowling skills have regressed now, her bowling skills were still very outstanding in the past.
Mainly because before going to high school, Yuuki Asuna had basically not participated in many entertainment activities. Occasionally, to relax, she would go to the bowling alley near her home to practice a little.
When she was in junior high school, Yuuki Asuna's bowling skills were still very good, but because she was involved in the SAO incident, it has been more than a year now, and this is Yuuki Asuna's first time playing bowling.
It's normal that the feel is a little rusty after not playing for such a long time, but compared to the others, Yuuki Asuna's foundation is still there, and her technical moves are still impeccable.
With a gentle throw, accompanied by a pleasant sound, the bowling ball slid across the lane and hit the pins, making a crisp impact sound.
Apart from anything else, just listening to the sound of bowling makes people feel happy.
It is no wonder why so many Japanese like to use bowling as a form of entertainment.
Of course, the relaxing sound of bowling is only one aspect. The real reason why bowling is popular all over Japan is due to several other reasons:
Firstly, it is cheaper to play, secondly, the amount of exercise is relatively small, and thirdly, bowling has certain social attributes.
Yui Doma and Asuna Yuuki can chat while playing bowling, which is something that many other sports cannot do.
Take playing football for example. Normally, you can just say a few words in between kicks.
When really playing football, there is actually not much verbal communication. After all, the amount of exercise just from playing football is enough to make people tired.
"Unfortunately, I didn't get all of them right."
Looking at the eight pins falling down, Tujian Mei couldn't help but say.
"It's a bit of a pity." Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna nodded and threw another bowling ball.
This time all the pins were knocked down and a spare was achieved, but Asuna Yuuki was still a little dissatisfied.
You know, before this, the probability of Yuuki Asuna hitting a strike was basically
It's around 60 percent.
Although this number seems exaggerated, it is actually normal for experienced bowling players.
The top bowling players in the world with the highest strike rate have a strike probability of about 98%.
Therefore, Yuuki Asuna's 60% strike rate is actually quite normal.
"Asuna, your body needs to be suppressed a little more." Seeing Yuuki Asuna sighing slightly, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but blink slightly. This was the posture she used when she was bowling before!
Even though she hadn't played for a long time, this had evolved into something like muscle memory, and Asuna Yuuki felt that she would not make a mistake.
But the next second, Yuuki Asuna reacted.
Compared to more than a year ago, her height has increased, almost two or three centimeters.
Although the number of two or three centimeters may not seem large, it actually makes a big difference when it comes to bowling.
If he continued to maintain the original posture, there would actually be problems with both the height and angle of the ball. Yuyama Kazuto suggested that Yuuki Asuna lower her body because he saw this point.
Listening to Haneyama Kazuto's teachings, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but look at Doma Yui: "Umi-chan, I'll fight you again."
Chapter 2547 STRIKE
"strike!"
After adjusting her posture and throwing the ball again, Asuna Yuuki hit a strike as expected.
Although he had thrown the ball more than ten times and only hit one strike, it was still far behind the original 60% strike rate.
However, after not playing bowling for more than a year, being able to recover to this level quickly is enough to satisfy Asuna Yuuki.
"Asuna, you also hit a strike." After looking at Yuuki Asuna, Doma Yui spoke.
"Senior Kazuto's guidance is so effective, the results are immediate." said Asuna Yuuki.
After saying that, the bowling pins at the end of the lane had just been replaced, and Asuna Yuuki took another bowling ball and threw it at the pins again.
This time, although I didn't knock down all ten pins and get a strike, I still managed to knock down nine of them.
Asuna Yuuki casually added another shot and completed another spare.
Although she failed to complete the strike continuously, Asuna Yuuki played very casually this time, unlike before when she played seriously.
Looking at Yuuki Asuna's performance, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but say, "It has nothing to do with me. It's mainly because Asuna, your basic skills are more solid."
Hearing this, Yuuki Asuna couldn't help but smile, but didn't say much.
She is very clear about her basic skills, but precisely because her basic skills are so solid, it is easier for Asuna Yuuki to fall into a fixed mindset when she is bowling.
Her original style of play was enough to give her a 60% strike rate, so how could she easily change her style of play?
By the time Yuuki Asuna realized that her height had changed, causing a certain deviation in the height and angle of the ball, she didn't know how much time had passed.
After all, the previous training has given Yuuki Asuna muscle memory.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that she couldn't hit the target accurately, but it was not completely inaccurate. Yuuki Asuna would only doubt whether she had not done some details well.
It was difficult for her to realize that the problem with her ball skills was due to the change in her height.
On the other hand, although Doma Yui hadn't played bowling for a while, it was only two or three months.
Not to mention that Domama's height hasn't changed much in the past two or three months.
Even if there are any changes in the soil, it will only take two or three months and the changes will not be so big that adjustments need to be made.
Listening to what Yushan Kazuto said, Tsuchima Mai turned her head and couldn't help but glance at Yushan Kazuto.
She was about to trick Yuuki Asuna into buying her a drink, but then Yushan Kazuto came over and intervened, causing more complications.
"Sorry, Yuuki-chan, I hit a few extra balls." After stretching her body a little, Yuuki Asuna spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay, just try to get back into shape." Upon hearing that, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but speak.
"You play a few balls first, I'll go buy some drinks." Looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yuuki Asuna spoke.
"Huh?" Upon hearing that, Tsuchiya couldn't help but blink slightly.
Before Tsuchima Mai could react, Yuuki Asuna had already walked to the vending machine.
After taking a look at Yuuki Asuna, it was obvious that the drinks she purchased were not just one or two bottles.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes, then turned her head and looked at Yushan Kazuto.
