[Soul of Chess] What if

Chapter 9 Lost Hope

The weather on this day was very fine.

In the blue sky there are fluffy clouds that are as soft and fluffy as cotton candy.

Although it is winter now, but with the warm sunshine shining on his body, he doesn't feel cold.

The campus of Haze Middle School is full of laughter and laughter.

The door, which would normally be closed once the class bell rang, is now wide open, and there is a sign with the words "Haasechu Founding Festival" standing beside it.The edge of the kanban is also decorated with paper flowers made of light pink and light blue tissue paper, which still looks decent.

There are all kinds of people who come and go on campus.

There were groups of children, students with their families, young people who looked like they had just graduated, and old people who stopped by for a walk.

Of course, in addition to those people, there was also a child standing motionless next to the signboard.

That child is Ah Guang.

From the big clock on the campus wall, we can know that the current time is 35:[-].

Originally, Ah Guang didn't report any hope that day.Unexpectedly, Taya actually agreed to his invitation.Actually, it's not considered agreeing, Taya just reluctantly agreed under his own soft and hard thinking.

Well, no matter what the process is, Taya really promised that he would come.

After all, it was the invitation sent by himself, so Ah Guang came to the gate early in the morning, waiting for Taya's arrival with joy.He even brought almost all the pocket money that Mitsuko's mother rewarded him, thinking that when Taya came, he must have a good time.

I don't know if Taya also likes to eat takoyaki. O(∩_∩)O~~

Ah Guang kept planning in his mind while paying attention to the crowd in front of him.

However, until now, Ah Guang has not seen Taya.

Ah Guang's heart, which was originally very happy, also calmed down a little bit during the long wait.

Since Taya promised that he would come, then he should definitely come.Ah Guang couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

It is impossible for a person who is so serious as him to break his promise.But...why hasn't he come yet...

Could it be that I forgot?

No, probably not.

Maybe something delayed me on the way?

Ah Guang comforted himself in his heart.

After a while, when Ah Guang looked up at the clock again, he saw that the minute hand on the clock face had already pointed to the number 10.

Ah Guang silently watched the pedestrians coming and going in front of him.After a long time, he turned around and walked towards the campus.

Ah Guang, are you waiting?Seeing Ah Guang's drooping head, Zuo Wei said.

Um.Ah Guang responded in a low voice.

Seeing this, Zuo Wei thought for a while, then bent down: Ah Guang, could it be that Taya has something to do today, that's why he can't come?

maybe.Knowing that Zuo Wei was worried about himself, although Aguang didn't really want to talk now, he still responded to Zuo Wei.

It seems that Taya will not come.

After understanding this point, Ah Guang couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Obviously, I still plan to invite him to eat delicious food.Now it seems that it is unnecessary...

However, since we are all here, let's go for a walk.

Ah Guang thought so, and then entered the campus.

As soon as you enter the school gate, you can see that there are many stalls on both sides of the road in the campus.Next to the booths are billboards that read tennis clubs, tea ceremony clubs, art clubs, drama clubs, etc. It seems to be a booth for school club activities.

People stopped and watched in front of almost every booth, and members of the association were also enthusiastically attracting customers.

Colorful balloons swayed gently in the air, strange greetings came and went, a breeze blew by, and the smell of hot food could be smelled.

Under the sunshine in winter, the whole campus looks very lively.

Contrary to Aguang's absent-mindedness, Zuo Wei is looking around with great interest.

During his lifetime, he only played chess in the Imperial Palace Ouchi, and later, when he stayed with Toranojiro, he also played chess mainly.Therefore, he has never seen such a lively scene.

Therefore, even though he knew that Ah Guang was not in a good mood at the moment, Zuo Wei still couldn't help asking questions.

Affected by Zuowei's emotions, Ah Guang gradually adjusted his mood, and then gradually began to integrate into the lively atmosphere.

Huh?There... I don't know what I saw, Zuo Wei pointed to a corner suspiciously.

Ah Guang looked in the direction Zuowei pointed.

I saw a long table there, and several folding chairs were placed on both sides.Compared with other stalls, it looks extremely monotonous.Similarly, it was very deserted.There were only two or three people staying at the huge booth.

A student in a well-buttoned uniform with a stand-up collar and glasses on his face was sitting there.He is holding an open book in one hand and a chess piece on a chessboard in the other.

Someone is playing Go there!After seeing the chessboard and chess pieces on the table clearly, Zuo Wei's voice was pleasantly surprised.

A light!You see you see!He lay on Ah Guang's shoulder, shaking Ah Guang, and said cheerfully.

Zuo Wei's eyes changed completely.It's easy to guess what he'll say next.

I can't stand you, just take a look... Although Ah Guang couldn't help sighing in his heart, he still agreed.

Hi~ seeing Ah Guang nodding his head in agreement, Zuo Wei was so happy that his eyes rolled up.

Ah Guang, what book is that?As soon as he walked to the booth, Zuo Wei was immediately attracted by a book on the table.

Seeing the cover of the book, Ah Guang couldn't help saying softly: "Taya Celebrities Selected Chess Collection..."

After hearing Ah Guang's voice, the student wearing glasses raised his head and explained to Ah Guang in a gentle tone: "That is a prize for those who answer the cross-chess chess correctly."

I want~ Ah Guang, I want it!When Zuo Wei heard this, he immediately yelled and hugged Ah Guang.

Alas, I can't stand you... Ah Guang sighed silently.

Even so, he still asked the person in front of him: "Can I go down?"

"Please sit down." The man said softly.

So, Ah Guang sat down opposite that person.

Xu Shi Aguang looked very young, so the man asked aloud, "Are you a primary school student?"

"Well, I'm in the sixth grade." Ah Guang replied while watching the other party's movements.

"Really? Then you are the youngest guest!" Hearing Ah Guang's answer, the man smiled happily.

He quickly arranged the chess pieces, and then said: "How can the black pieces capture all the white pieces? Please play three moves."

Perhaps it was because he had taken Go lessons for a while, Ah Guang vaguely felt that he might be able to answer the question.So, he said to Zuo Wei in his heart: Zuo Wei, don't give the answer yet.I want to try it myself.

Hi~ Seeing that Ah Guang wanted to play chess, Zuo Wei happily agreed.

After A Guang made an agreement with Zuo Wei, he carefully observed the distribution of the chess pieces, and then he felt a sudden flash of light in his mind.

"Here?" Relying on his intuition, Ah Guang took out the chess pieces from the chess pot on the side and placed them in three places in the chess game.

As soon as he placed the chess pieces, the uncles watching immediately clapped their hands.

"Oh--!"

"Excellent! You got the answer right! Although it took a long time to think about it."

"Amazing, amazing!"

Suddenly being praised, Ah Guang's cheeks turned slightly red.

Of course, Ah Guang was very happy in his heart: I never thought that I could answer Go questions without relying on Zuo Wei!

But when he saw the so-called prize, the joy in Ah Guang's heart faded a lot.

"Why facial tissue? Isn't it Jiqiji?" Aguang asked puzzled.

Ah Guang, you must answer more difficult questions correctly to get that book.Zuo Wei expressed his guess.

After hearing Zuo Wei's words, Ah Guang's joy suddenly turned into embarrassment.

It's a shame to be so complacent after answering a simple question correctly.

From this point of view, I am still far away...

As if feeling Ah Guang's emotions, Zuo Wei said: Ah Guang is already very good, and he can answer it by himself after learning Go for such a short time.Therefore, Ah Guang must continue to take Go lessons!

I see.Of course Ah Guang knew that Zuo Wei did this to comfort himself.Although he was still a little disappointed, he was finally not so desperate.

Do you have to answer more difficult questions correctly... Ah Guang muttered in his heart, and then said to that person: "Please ask a more difficult question!"

"A more difficult question?" Hearing Ah Guang's words, the person opposite asked worriedly, "Can you answer it?"

No wonder that person would say that.After all, the first question was considered simple, and Ah Guang answered it after thinking for a long time.If a more difficult question is asked, can Ah Guang answer it?

Even so, he put out a new problem on the chessboard: "This is a problem for those who are skilled, and even I find it difficult. Please play three moves."

Ah Guang knew that with his current chess skills, he would definitely not be able to answer such difficult questions.Therefore, when the opponent placed the chess pieces, he said to Zuo Wei in his heart: Zuo Wei, I leave it to you.

So, as soon as the other party's voice fell, Ah Guang quickly placed the chess pieces in the chess game under Zuo Wei's instructions.

Seeing this scene, the other party instantly opened his eyes wide.

The surrounding crowd also became commotion.Everyone sighed with words such as "Okay, so fast..." "The answer will be answered right away..." and so on.

However, Ah Guang didn't care so much this time.

Because, he was taking the so-called prize - a can of juice with a black thread.

Ah Guang answered two questions in a row.However, all they got were prizes like tissues and fruit juice, and the chess set seemed to be far away.

Seeing this, Ah Guang couldn't help saying anxiously: "You can get some of the most difficult ones, and you can get the problems in that chess book!"

I want to finish the flashy talk quickly... Ah Guang didn't say that.

"The most difficult..." the man repeated while quickly flipping through the book in his hand.

Then, finally, his hand stopped on the last page.

The author has something to say:

I don’t know if Ah Guang’s mental activities are clearly written... (*'へ'*)
