Cherish the time

Shinto Hikari did not move for a long time, Taya couldn't help but look up.

Seeing this, his heart almost jumped out of his throat in fright!

The blond young man was lying there with a smile on his face, and he looked a bit like——

He didn't dare to think about it any further, so he quickly stretched out his hand to check the other person's breath. After feeling the slight air current, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down on the ground exhausted.

In just a short moment, Ta Yaliang's whole body broke out in cold sweat, and even the palms of his hands became wet and slippery, which made him a little more uncomfortable while being frightened.

He leaned against the bedside table and rested quietly for a while, finally recovered a little strength, and stood up while pulling the edge of the bed.

——In such a situation, it is naturally not suitable to continue playing chess.

With still lingering fear in his heart, he took a few glances at Shinto's sleeping appearance with those red eyes that had become like rabbits again, and then lightly picked up the chessboard and chess pieces on the table.

He was used to doing this kind of thing, his movements were light and fast, and he didn't disturb Shinto's rest at all. Before he finally left, he still remembered taking out a thin blanket from the cabinet to cover the other party, and then left Entering Teng's ward, he carefully closed the door.

Shinto was vaguely aware of his departure, muttered something, then turned over and continued to sleep on him.

Shinto Hikari's sudden illness made the chess academy very busy for a while - the seven titles and the right to participate in major international competitions are all in the hands of this guy, and this happened all of a sudden. The consequences of Yang's illness are even more serious.

Even if Shinto immediately sent a retirement statement to Kiin on the second day after his fall, that only solved one of the small problems, and more and more troublesome things were still piled up there like a mountain, which made people feel uncomfortable. Thinking of it makes my eyes black.

But trouble is trouble, things still have to be done.

Less than a month after Shinto retired, the various affairs of the Go Academy were back on track, guarding the entire Japanese Go world as before.

September nineteenth.

The day before Shinto Hikaru's 19th birthday.

Since NO.20 had treatment arrangements for him, Taya led a group of people to celebrate his birthday with gifts and cakes one day in advance.

But unexpectedly bumped into another person in Shinto's ward.

——That is Zhusheng Wujian with its own disguise effect.

With a cold face, he asked the group of noisy people what they wanted to do, and raised his eyebrows slightly when he got the answer of "celebration".

Shinto coughed softly behind him, which prevented this ignorant guy from saying the next sentence, "Do you know he's going to die tomorrow?"

In the past few months, Shinto's body has deteriorated rapidly. Although the salivation has not been uncontrollable, his current diet and daily life can no longer be separated from others.

Taya visits him every few days and is very familiar with his physical changes.

Watching the familiar young man become thinner and dull little by little, unable to hold the chess pieces anymore, the pain in his heart gradually became a habit from shallow to deep.

As long as you get used to it, you won't feel particularly sad.

In order to cheer up Shindo, many people came today.

Apart from good friends like Toya, Wada, Fujisaki, Kurosawa, Tsutsui, Mitani, Yamazaki, and Zhang Yu, even Tsukino, Iijima, Izuku, Ochi, Honda, Nase, and Aida can only be called familiar Chess players also came one by one to express their congratulations to him.

Even Kaga, who was busy with the Dragon King Competition, took the time to come, said a few words of encouragement or discouragement, and then waved his sleeves and left.

Because they were in the hospital, they didn't choose those games that required loud noise and frolicking. They just brought a cake or stood or sat on the ground to chat.

Each of them had a smile on their faces and their manners were quite natural.

Aside from the fact that the main character is lying in a hospital bed, this couldn't be more like a normal birthday party.

Mitsuko Shinto smiled and sat with them for a while, but she still couldn't stand the scene before her, so she went to the toilet at the other end of the corridor, closed the door and cried by herself.

He Gu saw her leaving figure, pulled Fujisaki who was standing beside him, and motioned her to follow.

Not long after, the two returned to the ward arm in arm—although their eyes were red, the smiles on their faces did not seem fake at all.

They stayed here for most of the afternoon, and the responsible nurse finally couldn't bear it anymore and said that if they didn't leave, she would use a broom to drive them away.

So a group of people started to tidy up quickly, and within a few minutes, all the garbage was cleared together, ready to be taken outside for garbage sorting.

Shinto leaned on the bed in good spirits and waved at them.

"…goodbye."

He said with some difficulty, his clear brown eyes were as warm as before.

After everyone left, Taya was kept by Shinto.

He said he wanted to play chess.

Takaya was a little helpless.

He always felt that this was not a good omen.

So he subconsciously glanced at Zhusheng who stayed in the room and saw him nodding his head extremely slowly.

Ta Yaliang's heart trembled slightly, and he answered "OK" softly.

During these days when Shinto was hospitalized, Toya Ryo came a lot, and played games with Shinto a lot.

So he quickly set up the chessboard, decided to choose black and white by tossing a coin, and then pulled both chess boxes to his hand, waiting for Jinto to report the first position.

"...seventeen...15..."

He spoke slowly, although the voice was soft, but the enunciation was very clear.

Ta Yaliang placed the chess pieces for him, after a little thought, he placed the second white stone on 17.

Then Black 3 at Sixteen·17, White 4 at Four·4...

In this game of chess, both of them played very actively.

Even in the layout stage, a round of fierce battle took place in the lower right, and the chess pieces of both sides bite tightly locally.

Then Hei Zi rushed into the center first, and Bai Zi followed up not to be outdone.

After dismantling each other for several hands, Shinto suddenly changed direction, and 65 hands suppressed the upper left Shiro, immediately putting Ryo Taya in a dilemma.

Jin Tengguang took advantage of the gap to enter, and several strong hands fell, and the situation of Baizi on the upper left was precarious.

Bai Zi had no choice but to strengthen his defense, but Jin Teng took the opportunity to gain strength in the middle, and at the same time took into account the external situation, exerting pressure from both sides.

Ta Yaliang tried his best to respond, and finally managed to keep the dragon from collapsing, even though the ground was still in danger.

So Jinto added another fire.

He made black move into the upper left at move 103, and went deep into the hinterland of white, with the intention of directly causing white to collapse.

Ta Yaliang fell into the long exam.

Facing Shinto's menacing attack, he had to stop and take a breath, hoping to find a way out of this extremely difficult situation.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that the hand holding the chess piece couldn't help resting on the edge of the chess box, forming an arc that was neither deep nor shallow.

Shinto just watched him think, and didn't say anything to urge him.

1 minute...2 minutes...5 minutes...

10 minutes...15 minutes...two 10 minutes...

Taya Ryo lowered his eyelids slightly, his lips were drawn into a straight line.

He is still thinking.

Shinto subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall, thinking whether he should let him go back.

Just when he wanted to end the game with the reason that "it's too late, and he may encounter danger on the way back", Taya made a move.

His right hand finally left the chess box and pinched a cold and round chess piece.

Gently, put it on the position of 4.

Shinto opened his eyes slightly.

He immediately saw the value of this move!

- what a fine hand!

Not only does it have a great effect, but it can also completely eliminate hidden dangers in the white chess area.

In this almost certain losing situation, with this chess move as the cornerstone, if you operate it properly, you can hold the outcome of the whole game in your hands!

He looked at the chessboard seriously and deduced it over and over again in his mind.

...that's right.

With this chess move as the core, it is enough to control the overall situation and turn the world around!

——This is the real... hand of God.

Shindo Hikaru came to this conclusion without surprise.

His heart relaxed, and he suddenly understood something like a revelation.

There was a soft "snap".

The chess piece inlaid on the bracelet suddenly split open.

He finally cleared the last layer of fog that was in front of him, and climbed to the top of the highest mountain.

When he looks far, all kinds of causes and effects in the world are like delicate, treacherous and incomparably magnificent chess games.

——This is the so-called...to become a saint with chess...isn't it?

Shindo felt a little more emotional, but the expression on his face did not change.

He finally understood.

His existence, his rebirth, and everything he has experienced so far...

Just for-

Let Xiaoliang play this game of chess.

He looked at the chess piece, as if he saw the future of Taya Ryo and the whole Go world.

"…enough."

He said softly, showing a somewhat stiff smile a little uncomfortable.

"enough."

His smile is not the usual formulaic smile, but his eyebrows are slightly curved, the corners of his mouth are raised high, and the blond hair gently rests on both sides of his cheeks—but because of his stiff face, his shape is broken , has no sensuality, and is definitely not "good-looking".

But the whole person is still angry from the inside out because of this smile.

Seeing his heartfelt smile, Ta Yaliang couldn't help but smile along with him.

"Just... go down... here..." he said, slowly closing those beautiful eyes, "...I...a little...tired."

The breeze gently brushed his cheeks, causing his golden bangs to flutter gently.

The whole space fell silent again.

A white hospital bed, a young man with blond bangs with his eyes closed, cheap chess boards and chess pieces, and a green-haired young man staring at this picture.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

"Small light."

His voice was soft, like a whisper.

"…goodbye."

The author has something to say:

postscript.

After typing the words "full text", I felt relieved.

This means that this article has been written for so long and finally draws its final conclusion.

Since elementary school, Chess Soul has always been my favorite comic.

But I have been afraid to write its fan.

This fear should be easy to understand.

But one day later, I found that I seemed to be able to write it.

So there is "cherishing time".

In my opinion, this work has various problems.

For example, there is too much nonsense, the structure of sentences is complicated, the structure of the entire article is not tight enough, the problem of language organization is obvious, and all kinds of weird bugs.

Here is a summary of some BUGs that are so flawed that they cannot be changed at all.

1. In this article, Shinto and Taya took the professional exam a year earlier than Taya Ryo in the original work, so they should meet Awara and Saeki in this exam, and the winner should be one of the two It should not be Wada Shoji.

2. The match between Wada and Suzuki should not be held at the same time as the match between Shinto and Taya.

3. Honinbo and Celebrity Challenge are both 2 days and 8 hours, but I made it into 1 day...OTL4, DarryRing is an engagement ring, usually only one is for the party being proposed, but I got it wrong The concept of OTL has become a pair of rings for couples...

These bugs have already affected the staged structure of the article. If you want to change it, it will be a big project that hurts your muscles and bones, and it will even affect the fluency of the full text. Therefore, I can only blur them (not at all). Fortunately, they exist Didn't particularly affect the overall readability of the article...

In addition, there are various numerical BUGs, title BUGs, setting BUGs, typos and omissions that constantly appear in the writing process.

For example, Mingming’s cause of death, how many generations of Honinbo is Xiaoguang, the ranks of the main characters (poor Ogata), whether Gao Yongxia entered the ranks, and the grammatical errors caused by my own scumbag English level...

Fortunately, these small BUGs have been reminded and helped me by all the careful lovers, so that I can more easily complete the positioning and modification work, so that they will not continue to stay and make people laugh.

At the same time, I would also like to thank everyone for their tolerance for my sudden snake mental illness. After three or four months of tossing about locking and revising the text, I still love this story as always, and I have not lost interest and patience in it.

In general, "Love Time" has achieved my original expectations.

This is a story of making up for regrets after being reborn.

This is a story that continues to connect the distant past and the distant future.

I'm satisfied, at least for now.

Once again, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the lovers who have accompanied me and "Xi Shi" all the way.

If there is no accident, the full text of this article will be posted one day after the main text + five extra articles are posted. Please, everyone who has been with me along the way must seize this last free opportunity and try to download it before the release or directly After reading~: D As for the order for custom printing, it will be opened after the full-text proofreading and cover making are completed~ Friends in need can pay attention to it appropriately:)

The gratitude in my heart is beyond words, so I won't repeat them here.

Let's meet again _(:з"∠)_

P S:

Everyone must know how long this article has been delayed.

But in May, I suddenly became bored with the scumbag game, and then I started to write this article on May [-]rd and continued to write...May [-]th Number.

Even if this article is finished...

Poor me, I didn't realize it at all...I suddenly discovered "Yesterday seems to be May [-]th" at noon on May [-]th...

So I'm sure now.

——May [-]th is absolutely a curse! ! !

that's all.
