Nagusa bond story episode 1

Momotalk

N: I'm sorry sensei
N: Was that you calling?
S: Yep./You busy?
N: I was in the middle of training so I couldn't see it...
N: Was it urgent?
N: Did you need me for something?
S: I'm coming over to Hyakkiyako tomorrow.
S: Just some things I'd like to discuss with you girls
N: Tomorrow...?
N: There shouldn't be any problems... but would you be alright talking with me?
S: "would I be alright"...?
N: Since it's about important matters regarding Hyakkiyako...
N: I thought I'd be the right person for the job...
S: Would you happen to know anyone else who's the current representative of Hyakkiyako?
N: ...Fair enough
N: The title hasn't fully sunk in yet.
N: I'll see you tomorrow then.

My other businesses concluded quickly, so I arrived at Hyakkiyako earlier than expected
(I saw Nagusa training in the courtyard)

N: Ha... ha-!
N: ...Sensei?
N: Is it already time?
N: Sorry, I was too focused-
S: Oh no, you don't have to worry/I just got here early
N: I see.
N: But, being watched while training... is a bit embarrassing
N: Could wait just a moment? I need to wipe away the sweat.
S: Take your time./There's no rush.
N: But...
S: I've always wanted to see you perform the Hyakkaryouran shooting style.
N: Was it that eye catching to you?
N: ...It's not that special though.
N: It's just training. You shoot, switch targets, shoot, and repeat. It's rather boring, personally.
N: ...And it's not like I can measure up to the previous head either.
N: I'd rather you not get too excited...
S: I said I wanted to see YOU perform the Hyakkaryouran shooting style.
S: Even if you're not proud of it, to persevere and soldier on anyways-/those are feelings that no one can hope to beat.
N: Oh... I suppose you're right.
N: If you insist, I'll give it a go, but-
N: It'll be dangerous, so don't move from there.
S: Why...?
N: The Hyakkaryouran shooting style is an omnidirectional technique. The philosophy is to leave no safe spaces for the enemy.
N: As we often have to pacify multiple enemies at once, even a single blindspot can prove fatal.
N: To counter this weakness, the "Hyakkaryouran shooting style" was developed.
N: As you'd expect, it's a technique that allows one to snipe multiple enemies while dodging.
N: ...That is the core of the "Hyakkaryouran shooting style."
N: So I tend to fire behind me on reflex.
S: Feels more like a martial art than a shooting style.../Fascinating...
N: Back to the training. First, I'll demonstrate shooting the front, back, right and left targets in that order.
N: I'll be gentler than usual.
N: Like I said, not a step from where you're standing.
N: Fu...
N: ..Ha!

Fires

N: What did you think of it?
S: Huh...?/Did... you do something?
N: Like I said, I shot the targets.
S: Did you now...?/It spontaneously combusted as far as I was concerned.
N: It's not as complicated as you think. Let me explain each step.
N: First, I rotated my body to the left and shot to the right. Then, holding the gun under my arm, I shot the left target, scoring two shots.
N: Following up, I threw the actual gun at the third target, knocking it over. The force of the recoil then causes the gun to trigger itself mid air, shooting the final target.
N: This is how one supresses four simultaneous targets.
N: Well, it was just training. So naturally it's much more lenient than a true battle.
S: L-lenient..?
N: This is just the most basic form.
N: I can do this much at least.
N: We still have time. Let me show you some more.

(I kept watch over Nagusa's training)
(What on earth does she mean by "lenient"????)
