章 43: To get to know you

Aries gazed at Conan for help after Abel's invitation. But even when the latter complained, the two of them were powerless. In the end, Aries still joined Abel on the training ground and stood right in front of him. 

"Yes?" she raised her brows, blinking cluelessly. 

All sorts of ideas already filled her head. Why did he ask her to come down here? Would he ask her to replace the straw target and act as one? Or maybe, just be his assistant to fetch him some arrows? The more Abel stayed silent, the more negative her thoughts became. 

To her surprise, Abel shoved the bow in front of her. Aries blinked cluelessly at him with brows rising higher. 

"Shoot," he ordered blankly. "Take it."

It took her several seconds to absorb his words, taking the arrow in confusion. "You want me to practice archery?" she asked, and he nodded, hands on his hips.
