Cherish the time

And in the midst of such a fulfilling and busy schedule, a very shocking event suddenly arrived.

It was a very ordinary morning, with a drizzle in the sky.

When Shinto was putting on his tie in the mirror, he heard the morning divination on the radio saying that if Virgos wear a blue tie today, they will have good luck.

Looking at himself wearing a dark blue tie in the mirror, Hikari Shinto hesitated for a second, and then waved out the absurd idea that invaded his mind at that moment with a smile.

"Xiaoguang!" Shinto Mitsuko shouted at the right time, "Breakfast is ready!"

"it is good!"

After breakfast, sitting on the subway to Kiin, Shindo suddenly remembered a very tangled question.

"Speaking of... how many years will I be participating in the Wakashishi battle..."

"kindness? 』

"Look, generally speaking," Shinto analyzed with Sakai on the spot, "If the participants in the lion game are all chess players who have not been in the ranks for more than five years, and their age is not older than 25..."

Zuo Wei understood what he meant as soon as he heard it, "...then how many times have you participated in it before?" 』

"Five times..." Shinto Hikari shrugged, "...but I hadn't gotten the title at that time. 』

"Puchi—" Zuowei, who reacted quickly, burst out laughing.

Seeing Sato's exaggerated reaction, Shinto also laughed, and continued to complain about himself while laughing, "If I want to participate in the Wakashi battle next year... that would be too awkward." 』

With a hint of worry about the future, Shindo Hikari arrived at the Kiin on time.

But as soon as he entered the arena, the chess players who were standing at random immediately split into two groups around him, and the scene like Moses dividing the sea magically reappeared here.

Shinto walked through the separated crowd indifferently, until he reached the side of Kazuya and Taya.

"Good morning." He first greeted the two of them separately, then patted Hegu on the shoulder seemingly happily, and said, "...I almost forgot that you are also going to participate in the Ruoshi battle."

He Gu, who was completely ignored, immediately made a gesture to hit him.

"I've been too busy lately!" Shinto quickly hid behind Taya, and only poked half of his head out of the shield Taya's shoulder, and argued, "Didn't I also give you a qualified gift?" !"

"You still have the nerve to say that!" He Gu's face turned red, "Send me something like that... Have you ever considered Ming Ming's feelings!"

"Of course I thought about it," Shindo said with a serious expression, "I just gave it to you because she would be angry."

Kazuya suddenly became angry, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to grab Shinto from behind Taya.

"Okay, okay——" Shinto gasped from exhaustion just after hiding a few times, and had to gesture a truce, "Relax, don't worry... I lied to you when I said it was Mingming's clothes." He put a Putting his hands on Taya's shoulders, he took a breath, and then seriously explained, "It was for you to give it to her."

"Huh?" He Gu was stunned for a moment.

"It's a brand of clothes that I like very much..." Shinto explained while still laughing at him, "...Actually, I didn't even cut off the label... How stupid are you to believe what I said? The remarks…"

Hegu:…/////////

He wouldn't say that he never dared to touch the bag of clothes after hearing the gift introduction from Shinto...

At this moment, Shinto had no idea what would happen next.

Therefore, he just fully devoted himself to enjoying the joy of teasing He Gu, without any intention of leaving himself a way out.

Looking at Shinto who was rarely able to relax for a while, Taya connived at his childish behavior with a blank face.

After playing around for a while, they started today's game according to the arranged game table.

Shindo's first match was Mashiba, Toya's first match was Ochi, and Wada's first match was Fuku.

All three won without any suspense.

After winning, Shinto looked at Mashiba's livid face with emotion.

"If there are no accidents...he should have been admitted as a professional chess player this year. 』

"It's not an accident," Zuo Wei replied calmly, "This time, Kazuya has been with you for so long... It's only natural that he has made such progress. 』

"..." Shinto paused, "Actually, the accident I'm talking about is not Kazuya..."

"Ah..." Zuowei was stunned for a moment, realizing that Shinto was actually talking about his rebirth, and immediately fell silent.

Seeing his reaction like this, Shindo could only smile helplessly.

——Since the last time I met Takebu, whenever this topic was mentioned, Zuo’s reaction was to say nothing. At the beginning, Shinto would ask a few questions, but seeing Zuo’s attitude of not saying anything, He gradually gave up asking.

After defeating Mashiba, Shinto faced a new female chess player this year.

In his previous life, Shindo didn't have any special impression of her, only remembering that she seemed to be hovering in the bottom of the group, but for some reason, in this life, he became a professional chess player in the same year as Hegu.

However, doubts are doubts, and Shinto does not have the strong desire to control the cause and effect of all changes, so this doubt only flashed in his mind, and then disappeared from the vast sea of ​​consciousness.

Putting aside his doubts, Shinto greeted the other party very ordinaryly.

"Hi, I'm Shinto Hikari."

"Hello, I am…"

"Huh?" Shindo replaced his ears and expressed the pressure.

"...Hi...I'm Hitomi Tsukino..." Her voice was a little louder this time, but the tips of her exposed ears were getting redder and redder, and she was about to bleed.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Shindo Hikaru felt... For her heart, it's better for him not to talk to her.

Fortunately, after the game started, Tsukino's performance became normal, and there were even many countermeasures that made Shinto feel bright.

After ending the game with five and a half eyes, Shinto bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you for your advice."

Tsukino Hitomi's face turned bright red immediately, and he hesitated to return the salute, and Mosquito hummed, "Thank you for your advice."

"Uh..." Seeing that she had resumed such a reserved expression, Shinto expressed his incomprehension, "Are you...are you uncomfortable?"

"Yeah——" Yue Ye quickly shook her head sharply, then raised her face as if she wanted to explain something, "I..." As a result, the eyes of the two met, and she panicked again as if she wanted to explain something. Bury your head in the table.

Shinto Hikaru: ...

Seeing such an obvious reaction, if he didn't understand what happened, he would really have lived two lives in vain.

In the spirit of doing more than doing less, Shinto stood up and wanted to leave.

Seeing his reaction, Tsukino also hastily stood up, "That... Shinto-kun!"

At this time, the onlookers basically saw the way, and they all stood aside with a smile or not, just to see how Jin Teng planned to deal with it.

Taya just ended the game at this time, and when he turned around, he saw Shinto talking to his opponent from the previous round.

Taya Ryo: ...?

Suddenly, Taya felt a strong curiosity surge in his heart.

This curiosity made him get up decisively and leave the seat, and walked straight to where the two were.

As if waiting for his arrival.

When Taya walked within the range of hearing the conversation between the two, Tsukino, who had hesitated for a long time, finally choked out the words she had kept in her heart for a long time.

"That...! I've admired you for a long time... Shinto-kun!"

Taya's footsteps stopped instantly.

Shinto Hikari breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Thank you," his tense shoulders loosened all of a sudden, and after thinking about it, he asked as if joking, "Do you want me to sign it for you?"

"Huh?" Yue Ye was so nervous that he didn't know what to do.

Passers-by who had been watching the excitement immediately stuffed her with a piece of paper and a pen, and someone gave her a slight push from behind.

Seeing such a scene, Shindo only found it funny.

He took the initiative to take two steps forward, stretched out his hand to take the paper and pen that others gave to Yue Ye, signed his name in a grand manner, and handed it back to her.

Then he walked towards Taya without looking back.

Leaving Tsukino standing there blushing blankly.

……

——Hitomi Tsukino, 15 years old.

Confess to someone you like.

It turned out to be... his signature.

The author has something to say: Hahahahahahahaha finally got this foreshadowing done.
