Cherish the time

Shinto blinked, and moved his head back a little.

It was only when he stepped back that he could see the whole picture of the woman with the gaping gap—it was too close before, and he couldn't see anything except a pair of eyes—that face had a pale complexion, cloudy white eyeballs, and bright red eyes. Big fishy mouth.

Shindo Hikaru frowned, "Excuse me, can you open it up a bit? Your hair makes me itchy."

"Hee hee hee..." The Gap Girl giggled, her split mouth trembling, making her look even more frightening.

As if he couldn't see her, Shinto adjusted his posture with his hands on the ground, then pressed the shoulder of the girl with both hands and pushed her back, "I'm sorry...but you affected me chess--"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

"what--!"

"hateful!"

"Scared me!"

A series of screams from other tables interrupted Shinto's words, he mouthed apologetically at the Gap Girl, straightened up and pushed her half a meter away, "Well... this distance is not bad."

Seeing the interaction between these two, the three of them and one ghost were completely stunned.

Xiuying asked in a low voice, "???...??? (Are you... all right)?"

"? (Ah)?" Shindo looked a little dazed.

Seeing Shinto's ignorant look, Taya suddenly felt a strong sense of strangeness, "Don't you think it's scary?"

"Eh... this?" Shinto pointed at the slit girl who was kneeling, and the other party was obviously stunned by Shinto's fearless performance, and she really sat there motionless, with no intention of harassing her again.

"I'm just a little surprised--a feeling of fear... I really don't have it." Shinto scratched his head and smiled heartily, "These are all fake."

——Even if you know it's fake, a normal person would be frightened by such a terrifying face appearing one centimeter in front of you!

Ta Yaliang swallowed the roar in his stomach, "Then... let's continue."

"Well, wait a minute." Shinto first turned around, picked up Xiuying's chess box, then turned back, and handed the chess box to the gap girl sitting there, "Please help Let's change a box of chess pieces, and wash this box of chess pieces by the way-be careful not to let the ketchup get on the chess box, and at the same time, don't let the chess box get water."

"Don't scare people in this way anymore, let your boss know, he will probably be very angry." Shinto warned her, tilting his head and whispering to Taya, "I guess they don't know the end of this chess game at all. How much does it cost..."

The Gap Girl was taken aback for a moment, but she actually got up and left with the chess box in her arms.

Ta Yaliang was confused by his rough nerves, and replied with a stiff expression, "Really."

"Well, the chessboard and chess box are both boxwood with good quality. Although they are not as good as Torreya wood, they are still priced at 10,000+ yen, and the chess pieces are also made of Yuhua stone." Shinto turned around again, feeling a little emotional Touching the edge of the chessboard, "The chessboards in this activity room are probably all like this."

Seeing his expression of emotion, Hong Xiuying said unwillingly: "??,??????? (Hey, what are you talking about)?"

"????,????????????????? (nothing, we were just talking about unimportant things)." Shinto smiled at him Laughed, and stopped talking.

Taya also remembered the "no communication" in the rules, and sat there quietly to meditate.

Seeing that the two stopped talking, Xiuying realized that she was still being protected by her father, she hurriedly broke free from her father's embrace, and sat down in her seat in a dignified manner.

By the way, he also took out a paper towel and wiped off the tomato juice left on his hands.

The Gap Girl came back not long after she left, holding the sunspot that Shinto had ordered in her hand.

Shinto thanked her, and then put the chess box where it should be, "Well... When you pack up the chess pieces later, remember to separate the black pieces before this from the ones after."

Both Taya and Papa Hong nodded, and then Papa Hong translated his words to Xiuying, who also mumbled "?? (OK)".

While most of the other groups were still in a state of shock, they got rid of the negative effects of the scare element and allowed the game to continue.

More than 60 hands have passed, and the stage of mutual testing and mutual running-in has come to an end.

Both sides have a preliminary judgment on the other's strength, and have a little vague feeling about the mutual cooperation between teammates.

There is no doubt that Hong Xiuying and his son underestimated the strength of Shinto and Taya, and there is no doubt that they will lose this game.

Hong Xiuying and his son did not show any surprise at the result of their judgment.

Their father and son are two different types. Xiuying focuses more on offense, while his father is more proficient in defense-if a chess player who is good at both offense and defense is a god-like opponent, then an offensive type A team composed of a good chess player and a defensive chess player, without a long period of running-in training... will become each other's teammates like pigs.

Obviously, there has never been a tacit training of double Go between them.

As for the combination of Shindo Hikaru and Taya Ryo——

Shinto Hikaru chose to play chess in accordance with Taya Ryo's current style.

Based on his own understanding of Taya, he observed Taya's every move, figured out his inner intentions, and put himself in Taya's perspective to think about where each move should fall.

He didn't take any moves that might be beyond Taya's understanding and easily disrupted his pace, but on the basis of cooperation, he tried to point out Taya as much as possible, and corrected some of his lack of consideration.

Judging from Shinto's intention and method of operation, this game of chess can be called a special game of guiding chess.

Put yourself in the other person's shoes and tell the other person what is... the best option in this situation.

——It was difficult to achieve these points, but Hikari Shindo managed to do it.

And Ryo Taya now finally understands why Shinto has the confidence to say the phrase "just as if you were playing chess alone".

He never thought before that there would be such a person in the world who knew himself so well that he seemed to share the same brain.

When playing chess with Shinto, he felt that the two of them had become one.

Every child he has left behind can be completely understood and used by Shinto.

And every piece that Shinto makes can fully fit his thinking of playing chess, and sometimes it can give him new inspiration.

Such a go experience like a fish in water is something he has never felt before.

He felt like he was a part of "Shinto Hikari" - or that "Shinto Hikari" was a part of "Taya Ryo"...

Only when the two of them are combined together, can the missing part of themselves be filled up, completely merged into one, and there will be no more regrets.

……

Toya Ryo thought, he finally saw Shinto Hikari's true strength.

——But the difference in strength between the two... made him feel a feeling similar to despair.
