[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

However, all calculations failed at two crucial points - no money and not enough age to enter an Internet cafe.It’s okay to say the former, and he’s done a lot of trickery and abduction, ahem, don’t think about it, it means asking for money from his father; the latter is completely useless, even if he degrades himself as a dwarf, it’s useless, height is not the point , he can't find a fake resident certificate to prove his identity!If he is detained and calls the police to find his parents, then he will not be finished!

So, it's better to sit down for a while, wait until you become an official chess player and have a fixed income before thinking about it.

In order to appease Fujiwara Sawai, Shinto Hikaru went to a nearby Go salon to find someone to relieve his boredom. When the sky darkened, he returned home. Fujiwara Sawai followed him again.

"It's the last time we agreed!" Shindo Hikaru said viciously, "Not much more, you know, you won't be able to play chess tomorrow if you keep arguing." He nodded and agreed.

Maybe it was tired or maybe it was some other reason, Shinto Hikaru was distracted for a while, and finally because of this, something went wrong, and he lost to Fujiwara Sakai by one move.

"No, no, no, I lost." Hikari Shinto leaned back, lay down on the ground, and laughed, "You won me this time, and I will win it back next time."

There was not much joy on Fujiwara Sato's face, the hand holding the fan moved slightly, pointed at a place on the chessboard with a tigerish face, frowned and said: 【You were distracted just now, if this mistake was made when you were concentrating on it, it would be absolutely wrong. Could happen, what the hell were you thinking? 】

"It's nothing...you won't believe me if I say that." Shinto Hikaru sighed, and he scratched his hair, "It's just that you may not be able to let you play chess online in the near future."

Fujiwara Sawei had never tried online Go, so he didn't feel anything at all. He patted him to comfort him and said: [It's okay, it won't be too late when you grow up anyway. 】

Shinto Hikari also knew that frizz was useless, but as long as he thought that Fujiwara Sawei would leave one day, he felt that his heart was tightly strangled by a noose, and the pain was unbearable, so he hurriedly made various plans and plans to put All the good things he can think of are brought to his most important people.

As for the future...let's talk about it.

"It's really an ambiguous way of saying it," Hikari Shinto raised his finger and made a number in the air, teasingly said, "Did you forget that my actual age is already an uncle in his thirties, and you tell me to grow up now? "

[I'm talking about your shell. 】After contacting for a long time, Sawei Fujiwara gradually learned new terms, and also learned to deal with Hikari Shinto's teasing. Just looking at his calm appearance now, there is no sign of blushing and jumping in a hurry a few days ago, 【Also, don't Forget, you and Xiao Liang promised to come down and bring him friends. 】

"I originally wanted to introduce you on the Internet, maybe I can fool around a bit, let him tease famous people in Taya, let that person play chess online when he is free, send an email occasionally, and make chess friends .”

Right now, I can only talk about it. Thinking about it, it is still very unlikely. If the celebrity Taya hadn’t been exhausted to the hospital in his previous life, this person might not have come into contact with such a new thing.

Hikaru Shinto squinted his eyes and sighed, reaching out to grab the Kuroko necklace on his chest.

【Ah, I've been wanting to ask but forgot, Ah Guang, what's the matter with this necklace of yours, I can feel a strange but very powerful force in it! 】

"This is a tool for transforming," Shindo Hikaru said seriously, "Just hold it and say a special spell, and I will be able to transform!"

【Really? 】

"fake."

【…】Fujiwara Sawei choked for a moment, and immediately gritted his teeth after realizing it, and said, 【Ah Guang, be serious! 】

"Okay. How should I put it? Well, this kind of power is also called spiritual power... Actually, I don't understand it very well, but an expert in that field told me that I can see you because I have spiritual power, but I haven't experienced it. Professional training can't drive it. However, in the last game of the Honinbo battle, my strong desire injected spiritual power into the last chess piece through my fingertips, which is the only one in the world." He laughed softly, " This thing is quite valuable, the expert said he wanted to buy it for 50 yuan, but I didn’t sell it.”

【Why buy it? Is there any special use for it? 】

"It can enhance people's inspiration, and the person who holds it can see things in another world, so to speak," he suddenly changed his voice, and laughed, "If you really want to see something like hell and ghosts, That would be fun."

【…】

"It's rare to have such an opportunity. At that time, I thought it would be good if I could find you, so I foolishly tried to find a lot of people, but it didn't work." Shindo Hikaru tossed the necklace, "Don't talk about hell, Not even one evil spirit."

[Have you tried it with children? 】Fujiwara Zuowei recalled that one of his friends from the Yinyang Liao once said that the inspiration of young children is much stronger than that of adults.

"That's not true." It wasn't because he was worried that the child would see something scary, so he didn't dare to try it on the child.

Jin Teng Guang's eyes lit up, he immediately smiled from ear to ear, and said: "That's right, let Xiao Liang try this thing." This is a serious kid.

Sawai Fujiwara: […] You are not worried about this being scared.

It's the end of November now, and December will be in a few days. Taya Ryo's birthday will be in this month. At that time, give the necklace as a gift... If you really see it, maybe you will also make an assistant, really What a loss-making deal!

Shinto Hikaru pondered for a whole day to come up with an excuse to give the gift, and was thinking about going to the clubhouse after school, when he heard Fujiwara Sato shouting anxiously from the side.

[Be careful, Ah Guang! 】

It was too late, and because it was worse after listening to the words, Shinto Hikari turned his head in the direction of the sound source reflexively, and saw a black shadow hitting him. Before he understood what was going on, he felt a sharp pain from the bridge of his nose, My mind went blank, and then I sat down on the ground with a snap.

Sure enough, even if it's not in a chess game, distraction is a terrible thing.

Hikaru Shinto covered his nose and lowered his head, a stream of heat flowed down, and a pool of red just bloomed on the snow-white skirt.

Shindo Hikaru: "..."

Just now the heartache was about to bleed profusely, but in the blink of an eye it really bleeds!

The children who realized that they were in trouble quickly called the teacher to send Hikari Shinto to the infirmary. After the inspection, it was found that there was nothing wrong, and everyone was relieved. The teacher asked him to stay and rest, and he was called out by other elementary school students.

"Xiaoguang, you've been a little strange lately." Akira Fujisaki came to check on the situation, sitting on the edge of the bed and frowning, "History grades have improved a lot, but the physical education class I'm best at is a mess. I'll visit you on weekends, auntie Tell me you went out to play Go, when did you like Go, something that only grandpa likes?"

"Who said that only grandpa likes it? Go lovers are regardless of gender, age or gender. Only by experiencing this kind of interest can you know whether it is suitable for you. No one can say for sure." Shinto Hikaru looked at the slightly next to him A glowing soul, "I'm sure I like Go."

Akira Fujisaki frowned tightly: "However, playing Go takes a long time."

"Reading comic books also takes time, and I have to stand for an hour in physical education class, and sometimes I have to run."

"That's different..."

Shinto Hikaru glanced at her with a smile: "It took a long time, or longer. For example, don't you like to read comic books all day long?"

Akira Fujisaki blushed and protested softly, "Why is this the same?"

"I can also play Go for a day, and I can play Go for the rest of my life."

【Me too, no matter how much time has passed, I still want to play Go. 】

One person and one soul looked at each other and smiled, Shinto Hikaru turned his gaze to Fujisaki Akira's face: "Would you like to try it, Mingming?"

Akira Fujisaki thought for a while, then nodded: "Yeah." It's okay to have a look, even if you find yourself not interested in the end, it doesn't matter if you give up.

Since it is an introduction to beginners, it is natural to start from the basics.

One of the jobs of professional chess players is to teach beginners. Of course, it is not enough to just play a good game of chess, but also to know how to explain.

Shinto Hikari and Fujiwara Sakui have both done this kind of work, and the latter was once the emperor's teacher... If you reason like this, hey, then he is equivalent to enjoying the treatment of the emperor!

The two of them went back to Jinteng's house after class, and it would cost money to go to the clubhouse. Since there is a chess board at home, let's save money.

As for Xiaoliang... Let that baby wait.

Akira Fujisaki looked at the chessboard and asked, "What is the use of the nine points on the chessboard?"

"These nine points are called 'stars', which are mainly used to identify the positions of chess pieces on the chessboard. The most central 'star' is also called Tianyuan."

"Can you put the chess pieces here?"

"Of course, any place where two lines intersect on the chessboard is fine, but there are some special cases where it won't work, and I'll tell you about it later."

"Ah."

While talking and talking, it got dark before I knew it, and the parents of the Fujisaki family next door came to pick me up.

"Can I still come to play chess with you tomorrow?" Akira Fujisaki asked before leaving.

"sure."

"Then it's agreed."

"Yeah." Hikaru Shinto returned to his room and packed the chess pieces.

Fujiwara Sawei, who had no way to help, could only watch on the sidelines, and when the person sat down after busy work, he asked: [How is your body, Hikari? 】

Shinto Hikaru was stunned for a moment, seeing Fujiwara Sawei pointing at his nose, he remembered what happened when he was hit by the ball today, and he felt warm in his heart, and said: "It's just been hit once, it's been so long, so long ago It's okay." After a pause, he laughed, "Don't hesitate, I feel that you still have something to say."

[When do you plan to go to the Go Club again? 】

"Do you miss Xiaoliang?"

Fujiwara Sawei nodded without hiding his thoughts: [I want to play chess. 】

Shinto Hikari's brows and eyes immediately drooped, and he put his face in his hands and said in frustration: "Is it boring to play chess with me?"

【Stop playing. 】Fujiwara Sawei hesitated,【Actually, you don't need to worry at all, just based on that game of chess, Ogata can't see anything, and now you are just a child with some talent in his eyes. 】

"Probably... I'm a dead end." Shindo Hikaru sighed, relying too much on past experience caused his stereotypes to be too strong, and his judgment was very biased.

Just think about it, [sai] has not yet appeared, nor has he had an informal duel with Taya Yukihiro that shocked the Go world. It is probably not possible for him, a little kid, to enter the eyes of high-level chess players.

Anyway, I can’t get online, so let’s just forget about it.

Thinking of this, he relaxed, and said loudly, "Okay, let's go play Go tomorrow."

【Really? ] As soon as he blurted out, Fujiwara Sawai opened his eyes wide and waved his hands again and again, 【Forget it, pretend I didn’t ask! 】The topic changed, 【But didn't you say you will teach Mingming Go tomorrow? 】

"Let's go to the Go club together, Xiao Liang won't mind if there are more than one person."

【Oh. 】

Fujisaki Akira was a little apprehensive, she thought she would go to Fuji's house like yesterday, but she never thought that Fujisaki would bring her to the Go club, saying that she was here to feel the atmosphere of adults.

She didn't understand why she came here in a daze. The moment she entered the door, she regretted and was afraid, her heart was beating wildly, and it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

Seeing the friendly smiling sister behind the counter and so many old people around, the atmosphere is as quiet as a library, only the intermittent crisp sounds and occasional discussions that are intentionally suppressed, everything is different from the scene she imagined, Only then was he slightly relieved.

"Did you play chess here recently?" Affected by the atmosphere, Akira Fujisaki automatically and consciously lowered his voice.

"It's only been a few days."

After finishing speaking, let Akira Fujisaki choose the position she likes, and pay the money first.

"Xiaoguang is here today!" Miss Shihe's eyes lit up when she saw him.

It feels a bit like a dog seeing a meaty bone...not quite right, it should be a loyal owner who wants to feed a certain puppy with a meaty bone.

Indirectly, it can also be deduced that someone should be waiting for him here every day recently. It is estimated that the guy has been looking for the counter lady every day in the past few days to ask if he has any news.

Satoshi Fujiwara could hear Shinto Hikari's heartfelt voice, his eyes softened, and he sighed: [I always feel a little pitiful. 】

"The girl who went in just now is my friend, and this is our entrance fee," Shinto Hikaru put two coins on the table, and then pretended to ask casually, "By the way, is Xiaoliang here today?"

"For Xiaoliang, it may be a little later. He will be on duty today." After the words fell, Shihe picked up the two coins on the table and put them in front of Fujimitsu, "You don't have to give them anymore, kid I don’t have much money in the first place, so it doesn’t matter if you come here to play chess occasionally on a whim, but if there are too many times, I’m afraid the pocket money will be gone.”

"Haha, thank you so much." Shindo Hikari laughed helplessly, which really hit his nails.

Shinto Hikaru also knew in his heart that this free good thing should be the one who opened the mouth of the operator Toya Mingren himself, worried that the children would not have pocket money to come to the club, and his son would be alone.

"Speaking of which, is that child your little girlfriend?" Shi He guessed that he was too old to chat alone, so he couldn't help teasing him.

"Little girlfriend?" Shinto Hikaru's mouth twitched, "She is a child from my neighbor's family. She was curious after watching me play Go. She wants to learn. Let me introduce her."

"If that's the case, why don't you let her take a Go class." Shihe touched Fujiko's head, "It's not that you can't teach well, but professional teachers can give more guidance. Of course, if you enter If you are interested, Fuji, I can introduce you to a good teacher."

Hehe, I know everyone you know, basically old opponents in the title circle.

"No, I..." There was a teacher.

"Oh, by the way, Xiaoguang, although Xiaoliang hasn't come yet, Mr. Ashihara and Mr. Ogata are both here." Miss Shihe made up the knife with a smile.

Jin Tengguang: "..." Why are these two so idle? They have bumped into each other twice, so why don't they have a job?

"It's been a long time before they came here once, but they've been here for three days, maybe they were waiting for Xiaoliang," Miss Shihe said with a smile, and continued to make up the knife, "Shito, they are all professional chess players who are rarely seen in normal times. , especially Mr. Ogata is still nine-dan, very powerful, so hurry up and take this opportunity to let them guide you, you know, it will cost money to hire them outside, especially Mr. Ogata, he asks for a very expensive price!"

"Hehe," a low-pitched laughter came from one side, accompanied by someone's teasing words, "It's really unexpected that Miss Shihe has such an impression of me."

"It's true, the fee is expensive because Mr. Ogata is so powerful." Ichikawa who was teased laughed and praised, "Mr. Ogata will not be unhappy because of my praise."

"Of course not." Ogata Seiji responded, but his eyes had already fallen on Shinto Hikari, his eyes were like electromagnetic waves, making someone's scalp feel numb.

[Didn't you say yes, I'm just an inconspicuous primary school student, the look in my eyes is a bit weird. 】 Shinto Hikaru murmured in his heart.

Fujiwara Sawei took a step aside in discomfort.

[Zowei! 】Why is this guy so disrespectful.

Fujiwara Sawei felt aggrieved and covered his face: [It's so scary, so scary! 】

Jin Tengguang said solemnly: [Where are the good friends and the good friends? 】

【…】Ah Guang, are you secretly changing the concept!

[I won't play with you tonight. ] Shindo Mitsushita made an ultimatum.

Fujiwara Sawai could only roll back obediently, and then nestled behind his little friend with tears in his eyes, covering his face, his eyes were so scary.

Hikari Shinto, who was secretly arguing with Sato Fujiwara, didn't notice that Seiji Ogata's gaze on him hadn't left for a moment, and even looked towards a corner along the direction of his gaze, even though there was nothing there.

Since yesterday, he felt that he seemed a little strange, and in the end he was told by Lu Yuan.

——That child is very powerful, but in my opinion, he is similar to Xiao Liang. Xiao Liang has also beaten me a few times, but he is just a very talented child. Why are you waiting for him in the club? If you play chess, there will definitely be opportunities in the future. I believe that people who play chess so well will definitely go on the road of professional chess players in the future.Don't bother others now, to be honest, look at your ghostly and sad posture, I haven't gotten used to it after knowing you for so long, so don't scare other people's children!

Although that guy Ashihara seems stupid most of the time, there is still some truth in what he said, but it only stops at the first half.As long as you look at that kid, you can feel that calmness that is in great contrast to his age, and he pretends to be silly and cute on the surface to cover up the cunning inside.

Young new chess players flooded into the Go world year after year, but he never felt as courageous as that kid in any new force, yes, courage, it is ridiculous to say that a kid of twelve or thirteen has courage However, this is the conclusion he came to from a strange feeling.

He has always disdained the judgment made by this sixth sense, but he has to say that sometimes, it is such an inexplicable feeling that is more interesting and makes him want to keep digging.

He watched Hikari Shinto approach, raised his face and smiled.

"To be honest, I still don't really want to play chess with Mr. Ogata."

Listen, it's this kind of reaction that makes people want to stop.
