[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

The closer they got, the clearer the discussions of the people around them became. The two men walking in front of them were discussing, the voice was not too loud, just enough for them to hear clearly.

"Is [sai] coming too?" One of them looked excited, and his voice was full of joyful anticipation.

His companion was clearly not aware of the situation, the kind who just followed blindly, and asked obviously with doubts: "Who is [sai], why are so many people trying to find him?"

"You don't know? A famous ghost chess player on the Internet." The man danced and gestured.

"How powerful?"

"No one has beaten him so far. Ah, your expression means I'm bragging. Hmph, if you can beat him, I'll treat you to lunch for a month."

His companion was shocked: "You are so stingy that you are willing to bet with me?"

"Don't be too happy, if you lose, you will provide me with lunch for a month."

"Forget it, I'm short of money recently." The other person was not really stupid, he obviously felt something was wrong, so he interrupted quickly and stopped the loss in time, "Since he is so powerful, who is that teacher?"

"I just don't know, we just went there now." The man sighed, "I showed the chess games I played with him to the people around me, but no one could tell who it was."

"This time the person came, it can be regarded as revealing the secret!"

"That's it!"

Shinto Hikaru withdrew his complicated eyes, stopped his steps, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, feeling an ominous premonition of trouble coming.

Sawai Fujiwara, who didn't know the situation, was still looking around curiously, looking at the few people who called him by his name just now: [Hey, I seem to hear a lot of people calling my name, or is it a chess player with the same name as me? 】

The corner of Shinto Hikaru's mouth twitched, and he looked up at the group of people not far away, at the center of the vortex. Except for the foreign friends who were obviously unfamiliar in appearance, there were several Japanese chess players he knew.Looking at it from this angle, he could still see He Gu Yigao talking with his mouth open and closed, looking nervous, as if he was explaining something, and suddenly there was a feeling in his heart that he didn't want to walk over.

Combined with the discussion of the familiar chess player and the two chess players he saw just now, um... the world is so big, hahaha (laughing dryly), it is impossible to gather in this small venue by such a coincidence A considerable number of [sai] chess fans, no matter how you think about it, it feels very fantasy.

Although he hopes that Zuo Wei's reputation will spread far and wide, it does not mean that he will become troublesome in this kind of international occasion.

"I'd better go to the lounge and sit down." Hikari Shinto turned around and prepared to leave this place of right and wrong.

But some people don't think so.

"Ah Guang——" A cry of crying, there is a feeling of hope rekindled when you suddenly meet the willows and flowers when you are at the end of the road.

At this moment, Hikari Shindo wished to disappear: "..."

Fujiwara Sawei glanced back, then poked him, and reminded: [Ah Guang, Kazuya is calling you from behind. 】

Jin Tengguang hehe: "I heard it, I just know he called me, so I don't want to go there."

It's a pity that He Gu Yigao couldn't detect his companion's thoughts from that back at all, but he just focused on pulling the straw to save the situation, so as to draw the disaster away.

"Shinto Hikaru, he is a disciple of [sai] teacher." After Hegu Yigao dragged him in, he felt that the rays falling on his body were reduced by more than half, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "So, I want to understand [sai] teacher's It's best to ask him."

There are not many foreigners who have learned Japanese, but the pronunciation of [sai] is not difficult to understand, and the foreigners around them subconsciously look away.

In an instant, Shindo Hikaru felt the malice from all over the world.

Ah He Gu, do you want to go to heaven that much?

Toss you later!

"Indeed, [sai] is my teacher," Shindo Hikaru said slowly, feeling the eyes that were shooting at him from all directions became more intense, almost piercing him, the scorching degree was not inferior to that of the support group in his previous life, Fortunately, Shinto Hikaru was used to such a baptism, and he still said calmly, "However, if it is game time, please return to your positions. Chess players who have finished the game, please go to the waiting room to rest."

The translators around also regained their senses, and hurried to their employers to help translate and guide them to where they should go.

Then the chaos ended, the game continued, and those who finished the game ran to the next door to find Hikari Shinto.This group of people are all focused on inquiring [sai]'s identity, expressing their admiration, and inviting them to fight.Shinto Hikaru managed to entertain a group, and then came another group who had just finished the game. It took a lot of energy to last until 12 o'clock, and the big guys finally dispersed.

Jin Tengguang: [I'm so exhausted! 】

If it weren't for the fact that all of them are tall and burly, and crowded together like a wall, he would have slipped away long ago!

Shinto Hikaru pushed open the door of the lounge exhaustedly, and found that there was actually another person inside, reading a newspaper, with several packs of unopened sandwiches and a bottle of orange juice on the table in front of him.

"Thank you, why haven't you eaten yet?"

Ogata Seiji raised his head and was not surprised to see him coming in. He raised his chin and greeted, "I've already eaten, and you've worked hard, so let's eat something first." Then he transferred the food and drinks in front of him to him Go ahead, "It's not easy to deal with those people."

Shinto Hikari was really hungry, so he didn't intend to be polite to him, so he took off the package and gnawed: "It's okay, actually, I don't have much to say, the main thing is to convey my admiration for the teacher."

The way foreigners express their emotions is very enthusiastic. Fujiwara Sakai was stunned by what he said. After listening to the translator's translation, the whole person exploded with embarrassment, blushing as if he had been steamed, and now he is still nesting in the corner Li rubbed his face desperately to cool down.

Ogata Seiji suddenly asked: "Are you really the disciple of the online chess player [sai]?"

Shindo Hikaru bit his sandwich, turned his head to look at him, and said jokingly: "Yeah, why, you want to play chess with the teacher just like those people?"

Fujiwara Sawei turned his head, his eyes lit up: [Want to play chess? 】

Ogata Seiji did not answer him, but suddenly started the topic from another level: "Looking at how much he usually hangs around the Internet, I dare say that he is not a professional chess player."

"That's right." Shindo Hikaru was not surprised that he could guess it, and he still used the excuse he used to prevaricate and Gu Yigao to explain, "He is a little afraid to meet strangers, so he only works on the Internet."

But Seiji Ogata is different from Yoshitaka Yoshitani, if it was really that easy to fool around, it wouldn't give Shinto Hikari such a headache.

"People who play chess online are in the minority, and most of them are non-professional chess players. It's really hard for me to imagine how that person can maintain such a good sense of chess." The man's eyes turned and stopped on him, rather There is a meaningful look, "Is it because of you?"

He has always known that this man is very smart, and he is even more sensitive about Go, and he can often hit the nail on the head and hit the key point.

This question is really hard to explain.

Then there is no need to explain.

Shinto Hikaru shrugged, and also responded with an ambiguous smile of unknown meaning: "Who knows."

At 02:30 in the afternoon, there will be a second game, half of the players are playing chess, and the other half of the players are doing nothing. I planned to continue chatting with the disciple of the [sai] teacher, but I didn’t expect to go around the stadium. No one was found.

Later, the staff of the Chess Academy explained that the students who entered the Fuji Academy left first to avoid disturbing the progress of the game.

Shinto Hikaru hehe: "I'm stupid, more people rest in the afternoon, if I get caught, I'm finished!"

WTF!

Those who gave the business card before were secretly thankful, while those who had been hesitant all hung their heads and stamped their feet. They thought that there would not be so many people around before going, but this is great, there are no people around!

Apart from these two and He Gu Yigao, there is another person who was implicated innocently and had to retreat early—Taya Ryo, many people saw him coming with Fujimitsu, so they believed that he and that person were friends, If you can contact him indirectly, you can entangle him.

Taya Ryo is usually calm and calm, but he is still a child after all, and it is the first time he encounters such a situation, so he is a little frightened.

Ogata Seiji was worried that there would be another problem, so he could only let his junior brother leave. Although he himself came with these two, since he came earlier and basically only the staff were there at that time, he didn't meet the crowd trouble.

Going home in the evening, he was very tired, and he didn't forget to call Shinto's house to have a good laugh, and to congratulate them perfunctorily that the two masters and apprentices are famous abroad.

Shindo Hikari seemed not to hear, but said indifferently: "Tomorrow will continue?"

"Well, of course, this international competition will be held for a total of four days." There was a pause, and then added, "Don't worry, I will start my holiday the day after tomorrow, and I can still start on time. I will pick you up in the morning."

Shinto Hikari was at a loss for words, he really thought of this, but he was actually more worried about whether this guy would be overtired than whether he could leave on time. How cruel.

Of course, you can't say this in person, otherwise you don't know what to say to shame yourself.

"I'm just worried that you'll be prone to accidents when you're driving tired." After Shinto Hikaru finished his sentence, he realized that he couldn't continue, so he simply said, "Forget it, you should rest early, good night." Then he directly hang up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Seiji Ogata raised his eyebrows, put down the phone, and said with a soft smile, "Well, good night."

Shinto Hikaru went back to the room and turned off the light, lay on the bed, slowly closed his eyes: "The day after tomorrow..." We must find that person.

Fujiwara Sawei pursed his lips, his eyes full of anticipation: [The day after tomorrow...] After going to Ginza, he will be able to play chess with that one!

Ogata Seiji put the cleaned glasses into the mirror case, looked at the golden color on the lid of the case and smiled.

"See you the day after tomorrow, Light."
