Cherish the time

Shinto Hikaru is defeated!

Lost in the second round of the ten-stage qualifier!

Lost in the hands of Taya Ryo!

As soon as the news came out, outside discussions once again swarmed.

Taya Yukihiro's son!A character who can defeat Hikari Shindo in the qualifiers!He is a little younger than Hikari Shinto!

Could it be that Japanese Go is really about to rise in the world?

Amano looked at the comments on the Internet with a frown on his face.

"Editor Amano, what are you looking at? Such an embarrassing expression." A junior who was distributing mail came behind him, "... Hikari Shinto lost in the battle...? Oh... It means that Hikari Shinto lost to Ryo Taya today something?"

"Ah..." Amano rubbed the root of his nose and sighed deeply, "...This is not a good thing..."

"Huh?" The junior tilted his head in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

"...Because...a person like Ryo Taya would not accept a victory like this." Amano scratched his messy hair, and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket annoyedly, and put it in his mouth .

"...Editor-in-Chief, the editorial department is non-smoking." The junior reminded timidly.

"——Ah...I know!" Amano shoved the cigarette back into his pocket with a little embarrassment, and finally explained, "...I just sneered casually."

About an hour before the above conversation took place, enter the door of Fuji's house.

An angry Toya Ryo was grabbing Shinto's arm to prevent him from entering the door, "What's wrong with your body!"

"Hush——" Shinto immediately covered his mouth with his hand, pulled him into the house with his backhand, and reminded him in a low voice, "Be quiet."

"Oh, Xiaoguang is back." Shinto Mitsuko appeared at the other end of the corridor, wiping her hands, smiling with the corners of her eyes slightly curved, "I brought Xiaoliang to play, do you want something to drink, Xiaoliang?"

"I'm back." Shinto gave Taya a wink, and he squatted down and changed his shoes very naturally.

"... Excuse me." After pondering for a while, Taya

"Ah... Just give us orange juice." Shinto gave his mother a smile, and dragged Taya up the stairs after changing his shoes, "We're going upstairs."

As soon as he entered Shinto's room, Taya broke away from Shinto's hands angrily, "What's going on?" He stood there with an expression on his face that showed that he was quite unhappy at the moment.

"Didn't I say it, I suddenly felt dizzy, and the chess piece fell when I realized it." Shinto sighed, and still insisted on what he repeated all the way, "I won't stay up late again in the future."

"It's not about staying up late." Taya shook his head, "If it's just because of staying up late, you will never allow this to happen."

So Shinto Hikari stopped talking.

"It's not staying up late, tell me why." He looked into Shinto's eyes, and pronounced the words very clearly and forcefully, "Is it because the situation is already serious that you refuse to tell the truth?"

Shinto frowned slightly, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but the sound of Shinto Mitsuko going upstairs happened to come from outside the door, so he shut his mouth vigilantly and made a "don't ask" mouth shape.

His vigilant performance made Ta Yaliang's uneasiness even more serious.

He even wanted to just open up his doubts directly in front of Shinto's mother, as long as the guy in front of him stopped using that seemingly unreliable rhetoric to prevaricate himself.

However... such words rolled to my lips, but I couldn't say them no matter what.

Shinto Mitsuko opened the door and walked in, holding two cups of steaming freshly squeezed orange juice and two small cakes, seeing the situation in the room, she blamed her son, "Xiaoguang, how can you just Let Xiaoliang stand while I sit!" She quickly put the tray on the desk, dragged out the desk seat and placed it behind Taya.

"Ah...! It doesn't matter." Ta Yaliang could only let go of the worries in his heart, and explained while thanking, "I want to stand myself—it doesn't need to be so troublesome."

"Even so, it's better to sit while eating." Shinto Mitsuko smiled, patted his arm, and said with great emotion, "I haven't seen you in half a year, and Xiaoliang has grown so tall." Woolen cloth…"

——That is quite true.

Not long after the voice-changing period ended, Taya Ryo ushered in his growth period. He could hear his bones crackling when he fell asleep at night, but within half a year, he had grown more than ten centimeters.

However, if he wants to surpass Hikari Shinto, who started growing taller two months earlier, he may have to work harder.

After a brief chatter, Shinto Mitsuko withdrew, leaving room for the two children.

After confirming that Shinto's mother had left, Taya's expression that had slowed down before suddenly became tense again.

Seeing Taya like this, Shinto pondered for a while, and asked hesitantly, "...Why don't we have something to eat before continuing?"

Taya Ryo: "..."

The two stared at each other for a while, but in the end, Taya was the first to lose. He picked up the drink on the table unnaturally, and brought it under Shinto's nose with a stretch of his arm.

Even with such a sudden movement, Shinto didn't blink, just smiled slightly, and took the steaming mug.

"...you don't need to worry about me." He said slowly, his eyes fixed on the rising heat from the cup, with an unbelievably serious expression, "I haven't reached the point where...you need to worry about me."

Hearing his words, Taya felt inexplicably relieved.

"Really?" He confirmed once doubtfully.

"It's a deal." Shinto nodded with certainty, and raised the cup in his hand to him, "Cheers?"

Ta Yaliang pursed his lips, his face that had been smelly for a long time finally turned around, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"cheers."

The moment the two cups collided in the air, the two teenagers met each other's sight as if they had a heart-to-heart connection, and then smiled at each other.

The little tacit understanding between the two is self-evident, let us turn our attention back to the Japanese professional chess world.

After an unexpected setback in the [-]-stage race, Shindo quickly regrouped and devoted his energy to the remaining events. Soon, his opponents suffered one after another.

Those rumors such as "Hikari Shinto falsified the match" and "Hikari Shinto's backward level" that arose after the loss to Taya were also self-defeating in an instant, and quickly disappeared.

But the more so, the more intriguing the outcome of that game of chess.

Even Ashihara couldn't hold back his doubts and went to Taya to ask about the game record of that game.

It's a pity that the other party's attitude is very firm, and they don't mean to reveal the truth at all.

Under Lu Yuan's repeated requests and guarantees, he thought about it and only said one sentence.

"I didn't win that game of chess."

Therefore, although everyone was very curious about this game of chess, in the end, due to the attitudes of the two parties, they had to let it go.

After the impact of this incident has passed, Shinto has successively won three titles from Yamashita, Ichiyanagi, and Zama, the three titles of chess master, grand saint, and throne, from triple crown to quadruple crown to five crowns The king and even the six crowns!

——Six crowns!

How many years has Japan not had a six-time champion?

Not to mention such a young six-time champion!

The media at home and abroad were in an uproar.

For a while, the entrance of Shinto's house was almost overwhelmed by the media, looking through the cat's eyes at the densely packed heads outside the door, Mitsuko Shinto's surprise was beyond words.

And when the invitation from the Prime Minister came to Jin Teng's home, the woman who had been working silently for the family finally asked the question that had been deeply rooted in her heart.

"Xiao Guang... How did you learn Go?"
