Cherish the time

As the hands of Shinto Hikaru dropped one after another, He Gu Yigao's frowning brows gradually loosened, and then gradually raised in unconcealed surprise.

He couldn't even believe his eyes.

He was surprised not only that the blond boy who called himself Hikari Shinto was able to figure out Taya Ryo's chess move.

What's more, he was able to completely overthrow what he thought was a game of death under Ta Yaliang's pressing every step of the way.

——In this world, there are still middle school students who are one step higher than Ryoki Taya...!

Where is this Shinto Hikari? !

It didn't take long to build a Shirahoshi, and when Etoya Ryo returned, Shinto Hikari's whim-inspired advice hadn't ended yet.

He didn't know what the two of them were doing, but seeing that they were still immersed in the chess game, he didn't make a sound to disturb them, but just sat down on their knees by the chessboard and watched intently.

He watched it for about half a minute, and found that if Xiao Guang played this game, then he would definitely... respond as he expected.

It is also bound to... lose this game of chess by half an eye.

Ta Yaliang couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

About a quarter of a year has passed, and his growth is obvious to all. Even when playing chess with his father, his handicap has been reduced to two eyes.

I didn't expect that the distance between them...is still so far away.

He felt relieved suddenly, and he didn't know whether it was disappointment or pride. He just stared blankly at Shinto Hikari's side face concentrating on the chess game, and a vague idea floated in his heart.

…He wants to, surpass this man.

Shinto Hikaru played chess, and felt that he had entered a wonderful realm.

What he saw in front of his eyes was the chessboard of the nineteen ways, but it was not just this chessboard.

He seemed to be in the vast nothingness, with faint fluorescent light lingering around him.

As far as the eyes can see, there are nineteen criss-crossing rays of light, and every chess piece he plays will turn into dots of starlight in this endless void, embellishing this endless abyss in a variety of colors that complement each other.

There seems to be a wonderful power in the dark, telling him where the next chess move should fall.

Hikari Shindo had never felt anything like this before.

But today he feels...

As long as he is on this chessboard, he... is the undefeated king.

Kazuya Yoshitaka watched helplessly as Shinto Hikaru fought a bloody path through Taya Ryo's net - he really felt that the white piece that clearly came from Shinto was actually Taya Ryo himself playing chess - until the blond boy stopped After he made his move, he let out a long sigh of relief, and only then did He Gu feel that he had regained his consciousness.

When he came back to his senses this time, he realized that Taya Ryo had overshadowed Shirahoshi and returned to sit down at some point.

I don't know how long he was watching...

Kazuya Yoshitaka stared at Toya Ryo for a while, and found that this guy's eyes seemed to be glued to the chessboard, staring straight at the board, his whole body was like a clay sculpture, and he didn't react at all to Shinto Hikari's stop .

So he also deliberated by himself following Shinto Hikaru's steps, and found that the step-by-step responses were changing and interlocking. Not to this last step.

——Is this... the difference in strength?

He Gu boy secretly sighed, shook his head to shake off the frustration that unconsciously emerged in his heart.

When they raised their heads again, the two of them had already started to discuss something quietly with their fingers pointing at the chessboard.

"...What if I fall here?"

"...It's just here to deliver."

"Right…"

He Gu listened carefully for a while, then felt a little dull.

——The world of these two people is so tacit, so tacit that others don't even have the desire to interrupt.

but…

He Gu Yigao propped his chin with his hands, looking thoughtfully at the front face of the boy with golden bangs, a pair of big golden brown eyes embedded in his round cheeks.

The name Shindo Hikaru...he hadn't even heard of it.

Such a powerful guy couldn't have popped out of nowhere, right?

Hikari Shinto and Toya Ryo discussed for a while, and then heard the voice of the chess academy teacher: "It's lunch time, please suspend the chess game."

He Gu jumped up, stood up quickly and stretched, then bent down and extended an invitation to the two, "Do you want to have dinner together? I know there is a delicious ramen restaurant nearby."

Ta Yaliang raised his head and glanced at him lightly, then silently cast his gaze on Shinto Hikari.

"Oh? Okay." The blond boy agreed very naturally, and started to pack his chess pieces consciously. Even when he came to play at the chess academy after being admitted as a professional chess player, he would be stopped by Mr. Shinoda to help clean up.

Ta Yaliang also followed him to clean up.

Hegu scratched his head, looked around for a while, and when he found the two familiar figures, he shouted, "Ijiao, Iijima, here!"

The two slightly older teenagers glanced at each other and walked over with a confused look on their faces.

"Come here, let me introduce you to two interesting guys," Kazuya greeted them cheerfully, "This one is the Taya Ryo Iijima you've been talking about some time ago—you met a real person, right? Are you excited?"

Shinto Hikari saw that Iijima-kun, who was two sizes younger than he remembered, had a stiff face, and pushed his glasses bravely, and nodded reservedly at Toya Ryo, "Hello."

"As for this one... that's even more powerful." He Gu Yigao wiped his nose with his fingers, and by the way, he showed off his chest, and the proud look made people think that he was the "more powerful" one One's delusion, "He is a master who can beat even Taya Ryo!"

Hearing this sentence, Iijima and Ikaku's first reaction was not to look at Shindo, but the younger sister Taya who had been calmly packing the chessboard. After seeing the green-haired boy, he was indifferent—or it was the default attitude. Only then did the two turn their slightly surprised eyes to the master in He Taniguchi.

Shinto Hikari looked up at the familiar and unfamiliar two people, remembering his last life, he was quick to talk, but he was also mistaken by Kazuya as "the master who can defeat Toya Ryo"...

He has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he was given this slightly strange title by the kid He Gu.

An unknown corner of the blond boy's heart let out a vague sigh, "I'm Hikari Shinto, please give me your advice."
