[Soul of Chess] The intrigue of the foxes

In the end, Akira Fujisaki, at the suggestion of Taya Ryo, went to try the basic Go class first, and professional chess players would lead the introduction.

By the way, the teacher is Awara.

Shindo Hikaru: "..."

Shinto Hikari took the time to look at it, and found that the speech was good. The class was all middle-aged and elderly people, and they showed a great degree of tolerance and care for the youngest Fujisaki Akira.

At the beginning, the little girl occasionally came to the clubhouse to look for Shin Fujimitsu (I couldn’t find anyone at home), but later on, with a little insight, I could see that my level could not keep up, and the number of visits became less and less. Every time I come here, I ask Taya Ryo or Shinto Hikari to play a game of guiding chess.

Before you know it, it’s December, when you need to wrap up heavy winter clothes. Hikari Shinto glanced at the number marked on the calendar. It happened to be Ryo Toya’s birthday, but he was expected to stay at home to celebrate his birthday with his parents and acquaintances. So it's better for him to send out his gift earlier.

You asked why you didn't choose to give it on your birthday, anyway, the good boy with solid eyes will definitely invite him to go.Silly, what if he puts on the necklace and sees a certain spirit frightened, what should he do? There are so many people around him that he can't explain it to Xiaoliang.

[I hope this necklace will be useful. 】Fujiwara Zuo prayed for the folded hands.

[It doesn't matter if it's useless, isn't there me? 】

【Uh-huh. 】

When I arrived at the clubhouse, I saw Taya Ryo who was obediently waiting like a mascot. He was packing up the chessboard. Shinto Hikari stood next to him. When he looked up, he said, "Remember what I told you before, 'to Introduce you to a friend'?"

"Huh?" Ta Yaliang tilted his head and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it the one who came before?"

Jin Tengguang waved his hands again and again: "No, no, of course it's not her."

"What is that..."

"Put this on." Shinto Hikaru took off the necklace and handed it to Taya Ryo.

"this is?"

Shindo Hikaru said uncertainly: "Probably... a necklace with special power, you will understand when you wear it."

The necklace was very long, so he just picked it up and put it around his neck. It was very effective. As soon as he put on the necklace, he stared straight at the place where Fujiwara Sakumi was, and opened his mouth slightly, as if he was a little confused.

Shindo Hikaru immediately burst out laughing: "This expression is so funny!"

Ta Yaliang took a deep breath, stood up and bowed immediately after regaining consciousness, and asked politely: "Hello, I'm sorry I didn't notice when you came, may I ask who are you?"

Fujiwara Sawei solemnly introduced: [I am Fujiwara Sawei, a chess player in the Heian era. 】

"Really, the Heian era...huh?" Ta Yaliang was completely dumbfounded.

Shinto Hikari supported him, and said in a low voice: "No one else can see him, so don't move too much."

"Uh..." Ryo Taya straightened up in embarrassment, then turned to look at Hikari Shinto, trying to find a reasonable explanation from him.

"Zuowei is a chess player in the Heian era. Since I met you, Zuowei has been playing all the games with you, so..." I tried to get you to know each other.

"Wait a minute," Ta Yaliang interrupted him with a frown, his green eyes flickering like a small flame burning inside, "What about you?"

As if he didn't notice the anger in the child's eyes at all, Shinto Hikaru raised the corner of his mouth: "Me? I'll just play the role of placing the chess pieces."

"Shinto Hikaru!" Taya Ryo jumped up.

"Ok?"

"You said that you want to become a professional chess player. Could it be that you plan to rely on others to cheat? I look down on you like this!" After finishing speaking, he left angrily.

"It's still so easy to get angry." Jin Tengguang laughed twice, it's been a long time since the last time he provoked Mao Xiaoliang, the facial paralysis has grown up and it's not easy to fool at all, his emotions are invisible, just look at people A glance makes one's heart shudder.

[Ah Guang! 】Fujiwara Sawei looked at Zaiguang who was dumbfounded and did not chase after Shinto Hikari, who was also furious, and jumped up and said, 【Why didn't you make it clear! 】

Isn't it intentional to mislead people by speaking so ambiguously!

"I don't have time," Shinto Hikari felt aggrieved, and thought of stopping when he felt something was wrong, but Taya Ryo's reaction was too quick, "Anyway, it will be fine in a few days, these days... Let's stay home."

[Speaking of which, at this time, shouldn't you go to someone to explain it? 】

"Until he completely dissipates, I'd better not move forward."

= _ =

[Then let the misunderstanding continue? 】

"According to that guy's temperament, it won't be long before he gets angry and comes to ask for proof." Shindo Hikaru wrote lightly, "I can probably imagine that he will drag me to play chess to see my true level."

In the final analysis, it can be solved by playing chess, and it makes no difference if it is earlier or later.

"It is said that there will be steak tonight, so let's wait."

【…】The key point is this.

On the other side, the little fried-haired doll rushed out of the clubhouse and ran home. When he arrived at the house, he was panting, exhausted, exhausted, and deflated.

Ta Ya Ryo locked himself in the room without saying a word, rolled himself up with the quilt, stared blankly at the window sill, his mind was agitated, he was going to follow up with Fujimitsu, no, that Heian named Fujiwara Saku The chess game played by chess players of the era.

At first, I thought he was a rare companion, but I didn't expect...he was mistaken!

How could a child have such chess power, he should have known it earlier!

"What's wrong with Xiaoliang?" Taya Akiko sighed at the closed door. Compared with the first time, she was much calmer now, and habitually picked up the receiver to call Shihe.

"Maybe it was awkward following Tengguang, and it was the first time I heard Xiaoliang speak so loudly, and everyone was shocked."

Taya Akiko widened her eyes slightly: "Wait, you mean, Xiao Liang is angry?"

Miss Shihe said with some regret: "Yes, but it happened so suddenly that everyone didn't pay attention, so I don't know what was said."

"That's it."

For the first time, Toya Akiko didn't take it too seriously, it was just a child's slapstick, and it will be fine soon.

By dinner time, Taya's mother had forgotten that her son was still angry.

"By the way, it's your birthday in a few days, what are you going to do?"

"It's fine as usual, no special events are needed."

"Didn't you meet a new friend, why don't you ask him to come with you?"

"..."

Seeing the slight change in her son's face, she suddenly came to her senses: "Oh, I forgot, you are arguing."

Ta Yaliang, who was patched: "..." I really want to vomit blood now.

In comparison, Shindo Hikaru was still at ease, and even better, he found an informal Internet cafe that secretly allowed minors to enter.

Finally found a way to make 【sai】appear, Sahua!

At present, there are relatively few people playing Go on the Internet, and some of them are very capable, such as He Gu, who is still a college student.

And after briefly looking through the opponent's catalog, I found that there are still quite a few familiar names.

[sai? 】Fujiwara Sawei stared at the three English letters on the computer screen, his eyes widened,【This is me? 】

[Yeah, your name, after the registration is complete, we can choose our opponent... Let's choose someone with a higher winning percentage. 】

[Is the higher the winning rate, the more powerful it is? 】

[Not necessarily, the winning rate is the number of victories divided by the number of games played. If a newly registered id like me wins a game, the winning rate can go up to 100%, and then lose, the winning rate will drop to 50.00%, so it is not simple It is enough to see the winning rate. ] Shindo Hikari rolled the wheel while selecting, and finally the pointer stopped on an id whose nationality was the Netherlands, 【Let's play with this person. 】

【Wow. 】Looking at the chessboard that suddenly jumped out, Fujiwara Sakumi exclaimed, moved closer to look at it, and rubbed the screen with his hand, 【It feels completely different from the chessboard. 】

Hikari Shinto, whose face was blurred, said sullenly: 【Your sleeve is blocking me... I can't get down anymore. 】

[Of course! 】

Because Hikari said that people he didn't know could play as they wanted, so Fujiwara Sato completely let go.

When playing against Ryo Taya, he still needs to control the intensity of the attack. For those who can't see the face at all, whether or not there is a warning from Hikari Shinto, he naturally can't afford the idea of ​​"giving mercy".

This dooms the opponents at the other end of the chessboard to face the tragedy of life.

After the Dutch opponent, there was another German, who also ended badly, this time in the middle of the game.

Fujiwara Sawei touched his chin: [This one is better than the previous one, do you think he is a professional? 】

[I'm not sure, he's better than the average first-dan, but that alone can't be used as a basis for judgment. 】It may also be a college student or an amateur grand player.

[By the way, Aguang, when do you plan to become a professional chess player? 】

Hikaru Shinto smiled softly: [Anytime is fine, what's wrong? 】

[I want to see with my own eyes the level of professional chess players in this era,] Sawei Fujiwara said without hesitation, [There is only Hikari, there is no comparison. 】

[Later, I plan to take the exam with Xiao Liang, and I am not so conspicuous as there is the son of celebrity Taya standing against the wind. 】

I don't know how long the little cutie will be angry.

"Shinto!"

"Why are you here, Xiao Liang?" He was still a little confused when he saw the child standing in front of the house at first.

It's too fast.

"I asked Ms. Ichikawa the address of your home." Ta Yaliang said truthfully, then frowned, with a serious face, "I have something to ask you." Then he politely greeted Fujiwara Sao.

Because Shinto Hikari is still a child, Shinto's mother will also visit this clubhouse where her son often hangs out when she is free. She is slightly relieved when she sees that it is not a strange place, and asks Miss Shihe to take care of her children and leave her address. , so that she can come over as a guest when she is free or not. Once something happens to her son in the clubhouse, she can also call quickly or come to the door directly.

Shinto Hikaru was not affected by his menacing aura, and asked calmly, "Have you had dinner yet?"

"……not yet."

"Then come in and eat together. Also, call home."

Shindo's mother was watching a TV series in the living room. The TV was turned on loudly, but she didn't hear the door open.

Shinto Hikaru walked behind the sofa and called her: "Mom, I have a friend over, and I will cook an extra meal for one person in the evening."

"Friend, is it clear?" Mom walked towards the entrance, and saw a boy dressed in neat clothes, with short green hair as soft as satin, "You are so cute, you are the one that Xiaoguang mentioned Xiaoliang, right?"

"Hello, auntie." Facing the elder, Ta Yaliang could only hold back his anger, and bowed his upper body politely.

"You don't need to be so polite." Both appearance and character are far from Fujimitsu's, completely stepping on the standard of "good boy from the next door" in the heart of Fujimitsu's mother, and the favorability has been brushed to the full mark, "Wait Let me send you juice and snacks, have fun."

"Ok."

"Sure enough, it's Xiaoliang," Shindo Hikaru sighed while pushing open the door, "Looking at my mother's appearance really makes me suspect that I was just picked up by the neighbor next door."

Sawei Fujiwara teased and said: [If you become like Xiao Liang...]

Taya Ryo's grown-up facial paralysis flashed through his mind, and the corner of Shinto Hikaru's mouth twitched: "Let me be spared."

The other protagonist who was ridiculed had already put his mind elsewhere.

This was the first time he walked into another boy's room. Before that, he had always thought that they were not much different as boys, but when he really saw it, there was still a difference, at least not in his room. With so many models and clothes thrown around, it was a mess.

In the end, his eyes stopped on the Go board at the foot of the bed.

"I'll pay you back." Ta Yaliang took out the necklace from his pocket.

"Since it's a birthday present for you, I don't intend to take it back." Shindo Hikaru sat on the side of the bed, "Tell me, what else is there?"

"...I came to play chess with you."

"Now?"

"Now!" Ryo Taya said decisively, looked at Fujiwara Sakai, then at Shin Fujihikari, with a certain determination in his eyes, "I'm going to play with you this time!" If Shinto Hikari was cheating, Then it will definitely be rejected, if not...

"Okay." Shindo Hikari replied flatly, "However, if I win you, you have to promise me one thing."

"it is good."

"Aren't you asking about my request?"

Ta Yaliang had already calmed down, and said calmly: "I have my own principles, I will promise if I can do it, and change it if you can't."

Shinto Hikaru touched his chin: "Don't you need to set a 'reward for winning chess' for yourself?"

"Need not."

"Okay." Shindo Hikari set up the chessboard, and put his hand into the chess box, "Let's divide first."

Ta Yaliang sat across from him and leaned slightly: "Please give me your advice."

"Please advise."

From the chessboard, he could feel the oncoming anger and resentment. Every time Ta Yaliang played a chess piece, there was a crisp knocking sound on the chessboard.

Looking at Fujimitsu again, he is completely unaffected by him like a mud cow entering the sea. He plays as he wants, and even uses his fluctuating emotions to lead him into a trap. Toya Ryo is more than enough.

Because the trap was not discovered at the beginning, but in the end it was found that there was no way to recover.

After staring at the chessboard for a while, Ta Yaliang finally relaxed his tight shoulders, and said with relief: "I lost."

Shinto Hikaru stood up and slowly stretched his waist: "Finally, it's over, let's go to eat, it should be ready soon."

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you." Ta Yaliang showed a guilty expression on his face, "I take back what I said."

Shinto Hikaru was happy, and he started to tease his face with a stern smile: "But I still mind saying it."

[Ah Guang! 】Fujiwara Zuowei jumped beside her.

Shindo Hikaru pretended not to hear, and reminded: "By the way, our bet..."

Ta Yaliang said seriously: "Say it."

Shindo Hikaru smiled: "Speaking of which, Xiaoliang, you have a computer at home, right?"

The understanding Fujiwara Sawei's eyes lit up, and he immediately shut up.

Although he didn't understand why he asked this, Ta Yaliang nodded honestly: "Well, do you want to use it?"

"Then, this winter vacation is up to you!" Shinto Hikari patted Taya Ryo's shoulder solemnly.

"Eh?"

Going to an Internet cafe is very expensive, and it only takes half a day. In the long run, how can he afford it with the pocket money of a primary school student!
