Cherish the time

Pair Go is similar to four-handed playing, it requires tacit understanding and trust.

In his previous life, Hikari Shinto played Go for two players. It was during a break after a meal, together with Youth Club, Atsushi Kurata, and Ryo Toya. It was a small and boring game.

He remembered that it was the story just after the Beidou Cup. He was in a team with Kurata, and Taya and She were in a team—this match was really bad, and in the end, the two groups of them almost fought. The game is just left there.

Afterwards, Hikari Shinto never played double Go again.

Back to the present.

After saying hello to Mitani and the others—they also formed three teams in two groups, and went to play against other groups that had no rescue target—Shito and Taya sat side by side on the side of the chess table, Hong Xiuying Father and son sit on the other side.

There was a candle-shaped electric light next to the chess table. Shinto Hikari turned it on, and the light turned on. Although it was still dim, it was much better than the light from a fluorescent stick.

As soon as they saw them turn on the lights, two actors with scary appearances approached from the crowd of demons and formed a large circle around them.

Shinto looked around with the faint light, checked the surroundings, and found that the characters surrounding them were the Gap Girl and the Bloodman Zombie.

"Xiao, Xiaoguang? Sato, who was sitting upright next to Shinto, was shocked at once, and quietly moved a few times to the boy's side, "What, what are they planning to do?" 』

"Relax. ”Shinto breathed a sigh of relief, “They just want to scare us so that we cannot perform at our usual level. 』

"But, but... it's scary just sitting behind me like this!" 』Zuo Wei expressed that it was difficult to relax.

"Then I'll..." Shinto paused, satisfied to see the anticipation in the eyes of a certain ghost, "...There's nothing I can do. 』

"Xiaoguang, you bad guy QAQ! 』Zuo Wei threw himself on the ground and howled loudly.

"…Do not worry. Shindo waited for him to howl for a while, and then softly comforted him, "Don't worry, I will be by your side." 』

"Absolutely... I won't leave you alone. 』

"So, don't be afraid, eh? 』He slightly turned his head and glanced at Zuo Wei who was kneeling beside the chessboard, the tenderness and intimacy in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.

Seeing such an expression, Zuo Wei felt relieved for no reason, and looking at the monsters dressed up with teeth and claws, it seemed that they were not as scary as before.

At this moment, the gap girl sitting not far from them suddenly let out a burst of "hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee..." laughter, the laughter was soft and melodious, with a small trill, in the dim yellow It sounds pretty bleak under bright lights.

Zuoi immediately huddled into a ball again, "Woo...! 』

Shindo Hikaru: "..." (=L=

Shinto Hikaru, who felt that he was wasting his expression, decided to bring his attention back to the upcoming game.

Seeing that the actors were no longer approaching, Hong's father sat upright and said, "Xiuying told me just now that both of them are professional chess players—and on our side, although Xiuying is a graduate student, uncle, I am just an amateur." That's all, can we let the four of us?"

Shinto and Taya exchanged glances, then Shinto nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, uncle please."

There is nothing wrong with their approach, because there is an item in the game description that reads: Because there is no amateur group and professional group in this game, in order to balance the strength of the two players, the chess players can freely negotiate to decide handovers, first moves, and post moves. rule.

Although it may seem like a child's play, it is a fairer choice than uniform rules.

The man took the black pawn from the chess table and placed it between him and Xiuying.

Hong Xiuying glanced at Shindo with fierce eyes, picked up the chess pieces and placed them on the four corner star positions.

This opening method is normal, but both Shinto and Taya felt a menacing murderous aura from it.

"...It seems that he is very angry. 』 While thinking to himself, Shindo dropped his words very quickly.

After the man saw that he had placed a dice, he immediately followed him with a sunspot.

Then there is Taya Ryoko...

Then it's Hong Soo Young's turn again...

After about sixty moves passed, the four of them and one ghost had already devoted themselves to the game, no longer caring about the obtrusive ghosts around them.

Right now-

Those guys who were just sitting and watching them play chess from a distance moved!

They stood up carefully, paying attention to the clothes on their bodies to prevent them from making too much noise due to friction, and approached the four players who were playing chess step by step!

In such a dim room, their slow movement failed to attract the attention of the four players in the game—even Zuo Wei didn't notice their approach.

Gradually, gradually...

They were already behind the chess players, about an arm's length away from the chess players in front of them.

They stopped.

Then slowly—stretched out his hand.

Shindo Hikaru and Hong Xiuying discovered something was wrong at the same time.

At first, Shinto felt that his neck was being scratched by something, but the itching feeling did not subside after shaking his head a few times, as if some living thing was scratching his neck all the time.

He was really annoyed by this feeling, and stretched out his left hand to grab the back of his neck, but only caught two hairs.

He thought it was his hair falling out on the back of his neck, so he tossed the hair from his hands very casually, and brought his hands back to his knees.

It's just that the itching didn't disappear as he expected, but rose again after a short rest.

Shinto stretched out his hand impatiently, and grabbed a few more hairs.

Subconsciously, he already sensed something was wrong, so instead of throwing away the hair directly, he took it to him and glanced at it.

Seeing this, he was taken aback, because the hair was long, black, and straight, it should be a woman's hair at all!

"? (Huh)?" Hong Xiuying, who was sitting opposite him, called out very cooperatively, "???...???? (These chess pieces... why are they sticky)?"

He threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and put his fingers under the lamp to take a closer look.

There was some black mucus on his hands, and between the movements of his fingers, tiny black sticky threads were pulled out.

"? (This)..." He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "...???? (Is this blood)?"

Papa Hong suddenly turned his head, as if seeing something terrible, he held Xiuying in his arms.

"Huh?" Sensing the huge movement of the man, Taya Ryo, who was completely immersed in the chess game, subconsciously expressed his doubts.

"Xiuying asked if it was blood on his hand." Shinto gave the translation.

Taya Ryo's breathing stopped suddenly, while Zuowei was completely stunned.

Only Shinto leaned out and stretched out his hand unmoved, and touched Xiuying's chess box. He withdrew his finger, sniffed the liquid carefully, and made a judgment, "This is tomato juice."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Zuowei turned his head and looked towards Shinto, wanting to say something to him, but his movements suddenly froze, "Xiaoxiaoxiaoxiao, Xiaoguang——! ’ He tremblingly pointed his finger behind Shinto, ‘Back, back, back! 』

Shinto sighed, "Seriously?" and turned his head away.

The slit girl was kneeling on the ground with her hands propped up, and she was in the shape of an ORZ. Her face with a mouth that was split to the ear was facing Shinto's face.

As soon as Shinto turned his head, they were directly facing each other, and the distance between the two faces... was only one centimeter.

The author has something to say:

About Shindo's "Seriously?"

Please understand as "マジで?" and "Seriously?"

It is a bit strange to write in Chinese, but both Japanese and English are very appropriate.
