Fast Forward to Falling in Love! Immediately!

Chizuru Hotel, living room.

This is the only room in the Hinazuru Hotel that is not decorated in a Japanese style.

Because Yushan Kazuto is not very used to kneeling, Ai Hinazuru had to arrange a few people to meet in this room, and the rest of the rooms are all Japanese-style tatami mats. Without the approval of the owner, he changed to kneeling to other postures It will be regarded as disrespect to the host family.

Hina Tsuru and Hina Takashi sat at the table, Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana were led into the room by Hina Tsuru Ai, and immediately felt the faint aura of Hina Tsuru Ahina.

Hayama Kazuto couldn't help blinking, probably the bleak and chilling aura that Hina Tsuru Ai occasionally exudes from Hina Tsuru Ai's inheritance.

"Uncle Chizuru, Auntie Chizuru, hello." Yushan Kazuto greeted with some embarrassment, and put the souvenir on the table.

Hina Tsuru gave a slight wink, and Ai Hina Tsuru took the initiative to take the gift and put it on the side cabinet.

"Sit." Hina Tsuru said.

Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana resentfully sat down on their seats, but Ai Hinazuru still stood by the table, as if she was a little waiter in charge of reception.

"Xiao Ai, make tea." Hina Tsuru said again.

Chu Heai obediently took four teacups, poured it into the tea, and the fragrance was tangy.

Hayama Kazuto watched Hinazuru Ahina and Hinatsuru Takashi, although Hinatsuru Takashi was usually a relatively quiet person, but beside Hinazuru Ahina, he didn't say a word.

As expected, what Ai Hinazuru said, Takashi Hinazuru married into the Hotel Hinazuru, and he couldn't hold his head up in front of Ahina Hinazuru.

"During this time, Xiao Ai often received your attention in Tokyo on Saturdays. We thank you in advance."

Chuhe Yahina bowed slightly, and Chuhe Ryu also lowered his head.

"No...it's okay, I should be under your care." Yushan Kazuto said hastily.

Hina Tsuru and Takashi Hinatsuru raised their heads again, looked at Hayama Kazuto and Shirasaki Hana: "I heard from Xiao Ai, there are three guests from Tokyo this time, why didn't one come over? "

Hayama Kazuto blinked, looked at Shirasaki who seemed a little nervous, and gave her an encouraging look.

Bai Sakika also understood, and said: "Sister Sagiri is rather shy and dare not come over, but she still asked me to send her thanks to you two."

Hinazuru Yahina nodded, Hayama Kazuto was looking at them, they were actually observing Hayama Kazuto as well.

"You should be the little flower that Xiao Ai often talks about." Chizuru Yahina asked.

Shirasaki was startled, how could she ask her own head, but when she heard Hina Tsuru said that Hina Tsurue often talks about herself, Shirasaki was still a little happy.

"My name is Bai Saki, and I'm Xiao Ai's good friend." Bai Saki said straight.

"Xiao Ai has matured since she was a child, so she doesn't have many friends. Thank you for taking care of Xiao Ai." Chuhe Yahina said again.

"No way, it's Xiao Ai who takes care of me. When I was at my elder brother's house, sometimes Xiao Ai made breakfast, and Xiao Ai even took me to make a potato feast."

It seemed that she was a little excited inside, so Shirasaki talked a lot more, and accidentally exposed some information that Ai Hinazuru had never mentioned.

Hina Tsuru Ai glanced calmly from the corner of her eye, and Hina Tsuru Ai blinked her eyes, trying to wink at Shirasaki, but Shirasaki didn't see it at all.

"Mr. Hayama." After hearing Shirasakika's words, Hinazuru Akina suddenly turned to Hayama Kazuto.

"Huh? Please tell me." Kazuto Hayama said respectfully.

"I heard from Xiao Ai that she went to Tokyo mainly to ask you for advice on shogi. She also said that you are already No. 1 in the world of shogi. I don't know if this is true." Hinazuru Ahina asked.

Hayama Kazuto blinked, knowing that the other party started asking about something serious.

"It's true to ask for shogi lessons, but it's a bit of nonsense to be No. 1 in the shogi world."

Hayama Kazuto is still a fourth-dan shogi player and has never even won a title. The so-called No. 1 in the world of shogi is really a bit absurd.

You must know that the shogi world is not a place for pure competition of strength, identity and title are also very important.

Hina Tsuru gave Ai Hinazuru a cold look, Ai Hinazuru quickly retorted: "Mom, what I said is that Brother Kazuto is No. 1 in shogi strength, not No. 1 in the world of shogi!"

"Is there a difference between the two?" Hina Tsuru blinked.

"The status in the shogi world is mainly related to identity, title, and the inheritance of master and apprentice. I am still a new shogi player who has just been promoted to a professional chess player. Naturally, I am a little inferior in terms of status." Kazuto Hayama explained .

"So... Hayama-san, do you admit to being No. 1 in shogi prowess?"

"I don't deny it."

Although Yushan Kazuto's voice is not loud, but it reveals a very strong self-confidence.

I am not the leader, who is the leader?

Regarding strength No.1, Yushan Kazuto is doing his part.

Of course, Kazuto Hayama was not interested in this, but Ahina Hinazuru mentioned it, and he admitted it by the way.

"Mr. Hayama hasn't lost a single game in the official game." Takashi Hinatsuru also whispered, under the influence of Ai Hinazuru, Takashi Hinatsuru also has a certain interest in shogi.

Although I don't understand shogi, the Hinazuru Hotel is often the venue for shogi competitions, especially the finals of the Dragon King Tournament, which are often held at the Hinazuru Hotel. Hinazuru Yahina also has a certain understanding of shogi.

The most powerful professional players in the past generally had a winning rate of just over 70.00%, but Yushan Kazuto not only rewrote this record, but also raised the record to a point where it could never be improved again.

[-]% winning rate!Since participating in the official game of shogi, he has not lost a single game!

Chapter 651Chapter 650 Can Xiao Ai get a second bite of crab?

Even Hinazuru Yahina doesn't understand shogi, but she also knows what a 100% winning rate is.

"Sorry, Mr. Hayama, I took the liberty." Hina Tsuru said.

"It's okay, it's okay, Auntie Tsuru." Hayama Kazuto said with a smile.

Although it doesn't feel good to be questioned, but with his own strength, Yushan Kazuto will not be restless.

If you have no strength, but you are questioned, you should jump in a hurry at this time.

"Mr. Hayama, there is something I want to ask. I wonder if Mr. Hayama can answer for me." Ahina Hinazuru suddenly became serious.

Hayama Kazuto looked at Hina Tsuru, "Please tell me, Aunt Hinazuru."

"You also know that my child likes shogi very much and wants to work in shogi in the future. What do you think of the prospects of the shogi industry?"

"The prospect of the industry is still good. After all, there are more than 1000 million shogi enthusiasts in Japan. The consumption power of these people alone can support the shogi industry." Hayama Kazuto said.

"But I heard that the sponsorship of shogi seems to be shrinking, and some of the eight title battles are almost unstoppable." Hina Tsuru's voice was a little low.

"Some title battles did encounter difficulties, but it was not that the shogi industry encountered difficulties, or in other words, these difficulties themselves did not come from shogi." Hayama Kazuto said.

"Appreciate further details."

"Aunt Chizuru, do you read the news now by reading the newspaper, or by checking the news website on your mobile phone?" Kazuto Hayama asked with a smile.

Hinazuru Yahina didn't know why Kazuto Hayama asked such a question, but she still said, "I used to read newspapers, but now I read more on my mobile phone."

"This is the reason why shogi sponsorship is sluggish." Hayama Kazuto said.

"Due to the emergence of the Internet, the market share of major traditional media has been compressed, but most of the sponsors of the shogi title battle are traditional media."

Hinazuru Yahina nodded thoughtfully, but Kazuto Hayama could tell that she didn't seem to understand very well.

"Traditional media itself is already on the decline. Naturally, they can't spend much money for various sponsorships, but it is difficult for shogi to accept sponsorship from other industries. There is no light on the face."

Japan is not the same as South Korea. South Korea can hold the Samsung Cup openly, but Japan is not suitable for hosting the Sony Cup, Panasonic Cup, Okamoto Cup...

Of course, considering that there was a little girl beside him, Kazuto Hayama did not say the words Okamoto Cup.

"Is that so? It really doesn't sound appropriate." Hina Tsuru said.

Although the number of shogi enthusiasts is indeed decreasing, and young people prefer electronic games to shogi and Go, the stock of Japanese shogi is still quite amazing, and the entire market is far from sluggish.

Even in Hayama Kazuto's view, there is still a prospect of development, but if you want to develop a shogi business, you have to lower your face.

Chess, which claims to be a favorite of elegant people, is naturally not worth it. Otherwise, if there is a Uniqlo Cup or the like, the prize money will be a blow to all current events.

"Then, Hayama-san, you are optimistic about the shogi industry, right?"

"I can only say that I have confidence. If it looks good, it should be the sponsor's business." Yushan Kazuto smiled.

"Then what do you think of female chess players?" Ahina Hinazuru finally got to the point.

"Female chess players play far fewer games than male chess players, and their game income is also lower, and the title rewards are much lower than male chess players. Do you have confidence in the future of female chess players?"

"Are you a female chess player?" Hayama Kazuto blinked, he really didn't think much about female chess players.

"First of all, I want to correct some of your misconceptions, Aunt Chuhe. The path of professional chess players is to train women to step on it. It is not acceptable to describe professional chess players as male chess players."

Hina Tsuru blinked, although professional chess players are basically men, but female chess players are not prohibited from joining, but there has never been a female chess player with that strength.

It was not until Kong Yinzi that the curse that women could not become professional chess players was broken. Kong Yinzi successfully promoted to professional chess players, and shined brilliantly among professional chess players.

"As for the future of female chess players, I think it is quite ideal. Whether it is a professional chess player or a female chess player, the average income level exceeds the national average income level." Yu Shanhe said.

Professional shogi players have the lowest annual income of just over 100 million yen, but this is based on the premise that the opponent hardly attends the game or has retired.

Generally speaking, the income of mid-level professional chess players is about 2000 million yen, which is higher than that of the famous graduates of Tokyo University in Japan, and the annual income of top professional chess players is as high as hundreds of millions of yen.

On average, the income of professional chess players is more than 1000 million a year, nearly 2000 million yen, which is basically the same as that of mid-level professional chess players.

Although there are fewer female chess players, the income of women in Japan is lower than that of men. In comparison, it is equivalent to a proportional increase.

"You're really right." Hina Tsuru nodded.

When Chu Heai heard this sentence, his eyes also shone.

"But my family is not at the average income level in Japan. Xiao Ai's future as a female chess player may not be as bright as inheriting the Hinazuru Hotel?" Hina Tsuru changed the subject and said.

As the top ryokan in Wakura Onsen, the Hinazuru Hotel does not have many rooms, but the income is not low. Even the top female shogi players cannot compare to the Hinazuru Hotel.

"Indeed." Hayama Kazuto said.

Chu Heai felt a little lost immediately, and the dull hair on her head drooped.

Shirasaki also felt a little strange, and looked at Kazuto Hayama in disbelief.

"But if you become a professional chess player, it will be different, Aunt Hinazuru, you should have heard of Sora Ginko, right?" Hayama Kazuto smiled.

"Of course I've heard, the pride of women, the only female professional chess player for so many years."

"Koninko's income is in the upper reaches among professional chess players. As an unprecedented female professional chess player, Sorainko's income even exceeds that of many title holders." Hayama Kazuru said.

"But she was the first to eat crabs." Hina Tsuru said.

"But it's impossible for one person to eat all the crabs in the whole ocean?" Hayama Kazuto asked rhetorically.

Hina Tsuru blinked: "For so many years, there has only been one empty coin. Mr. Yushan, are you so sure that Xiao Ai can get a second bite of crab?"
