Cherish the time

Shinto and Hetani looked at each other, and they walked decisively towards the door.

They were at the side of the wall where the main entrance was, and they couldn't see the scene at the entrance. After walking two steps, they saw that Mashiba was talking to someone at the entrance with his elbows, so he blocked Toya Ryo who was about to enter, and then The above-mentioned conversation took place.

Masaki wanted to say something, but the person who was talking to him suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes, "Ta, Taya..."

"Ah?" Perhaps because the other party's voice was too low, Zhen Chai Chong snorted impatiently.

"He is...Taya..."

"Huh? What?" In order to hear what the other party was saying, Zhen Chai Chong impatiently moved closer to his friend.

As soon as he moved, the path at the door was vacated, and Ta Yaliang stepped in just like that.

Shinto Hikaru looked at his extremely calm look, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly uncontrollably.

"Good morning, Xiao Liang." He Gu greeted him.

"Good morning, Mr. Gu."

"Xiao Liang, good morning." Shinto Hikari took out another can of drink from his bag, "This is yours."

"Ah...thank you, good morning." Taya Ryo smiled shyly and took the drink from Xiaoguang's hand.

He Gu took a look, "Hey...the one for Xiao Liang is green tea—I thought it was all orange juice."

They spoke naturally here, but there was a little confusion on Zhenchaicong's side.

"That's Taya Ryo? Are you sure?"

The friend glanced at the straight back of the green-haired boy again, and swallowed, "That's right, I've seen him with the celebrity Taya, and he even called the celebrity his father."

Zhen Chaichong frowned, and turned his head to look for a while, "Just such a guy with a silly smile? Are you sure he is really Ta Yaliang?"

"Uh..." My friend also saw Ta Yaliang's shy and introverted smile, and the original [-]% certainty was lost to [-]%, "I think...it should be right--they didn't call him 'Xiao Liang'... "

"Who knows if they are calling 'Xiao Zhao', 'Xiao Huang' or something!" Zhen Chai Chong reprimanded without confidence, "It's a little fuss!"

The friend wanted to say something, but finally shut up.

——Anyway, regardless of whether that person is the legendary "Taya Ryo"...

It has nothing to do with him, does it.

After a small episode, the 26 people who took the exam walked to the game room in twos and threes.

He Gu ran to greet Iijima Honda after drinking a drink, and said to the two before leaving, "Go in first, I still want to ask about Yijiao, and go in with them later."

"Oh." Shinto Hikaru drank the orange juice in one gulp, and stuffed the jar into his hand, "Come on, throw this away for me."

"Hey! You bastard!" He Gu shook his fist at him, but walked away with the empty jar.

Ta Yaliang watched him leave while drinking green tea.

"How is it? Are you confident that you will pass?" Putting his finally free hands into his belt, Shinto Hikari looked at Taya Ryo with a smile on his lips, and asked with his head tilted.

He made this movement extremely smoothly, and his gestures revealed a confident atmosphere of an adult, with an indescribable charm.

Ta Yaliang was stunned by accident, and said blankly, "Huh?"

"Ah—what!" Shinto Hikaru patted him on the shoulder funny, "You, you have to aim for a complete victory."

He said this in a fairly low voice, so the candidates next to him also heard this, and couldn't help but want to turn their heads to see what kind of person was saying, "It is necessary to pass with 'all victory'." 'for the goal'.

It turned out that it was just two little guys less than 1 meters tall talking, so they could only shake their heads amusedly.

——As for those who knew that "Taya Ryo" was going to take this exam, after hearing this, they looked into the eyes of the green-haired boy with a little more scrutiny and vigilance.

The game room and the lounge are not far apart, but only a few steps away.

However, food is not allowed to be brought into the game room.

So Shinto Hikari chatted with Taya Ryo at the door of the game room while waiting for him to finish drinking the canned green tea.

When Mashibamitsu and his friends walked by, they looked up and down Toya Ryo for a long time.

At 08:30, the broadcast announcing the assembly sounded on time.

Taya Ryo finally finished the green tea which was only 100mL.

"time up--"

"time up."

"Invite participants to the game room."

——Because today is the first day of the professional chess player exam, there is still work to draw lots and sort before the game, so we gathered half an hour earlier.

The invigilator of the exam this time is no longer the old gentleman from the qualifiers, but replaced by Mr. Shinoda who is familiar with Hikari Shinto.

"Hi everyone, I'm Shinoda. Today is the first day of the main competition of the professional chess player exam. We need to draw lots and make a battle list." Shinoda pulled out a few brand new forms from the envelope and spread them on the table. "Then now The lottery is about to start, and those whose names I have called please come out and draw lots at Mr. Xiao Lin's place." He turned slightly and asked another teacher beside him to say hello to the candidates: "Hi everyone, I am It's Kobayashi."

"Mr. Jintian."

"Mr. Nozaki."

……

The drawing of lots proceeded in an orderly manner.

Shinto Hikari drew No. 18, and Taya Ryo drew No. 9.

——This means that the two of them will play against each other in the last round of the professional chess player exam.

The two people who knew each other looked at each other from a distance, and then devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the game they were about to face.

After the lottery was over, Shinoda tidied up the papers on the table, looked at his watch, and said loudly, "It's nine o'clock, everyone, please start the game."

Looking at Ryo Iijima, who was slightly nervous on the opposite side, Hikari Shinto took a deep breath.

If I remember correctly... His opponent on the first day of the professional exam in his previous life was also Iijima.

——Then this time, let’s start from here!

"Please advise."

"Please advise."

His fingers touched the cold chess piece and held it between his fingers.

Then, with a light flick of the wrist——

Falling down—

"Xiaoguang——!I am playing chess today. 』Zuo Wei sat beside him, holding a folding fan in his hand, and reminded him.

Shinto Hikaru, who was concentrating on it, was taken aback by his words, and the small purpose chess piece that was supposed to land in the upper right corner accidentally missed the position of 5.

Iijima was startled by his unexpected move, subconsciously raised his head, and saw Shinto Hikaru's expression of even more surprise than him.

Shinto Hikari was surprised at first, and then secretly thanked that the chess piece did not go to a position that was even more uncontrollable, and then said in his heart with a hint of expectation, "...Sawei, you continue. 』

"...Beginner 5? Zuo Wei was silent for a moment, then raised his lips and smiled lightly, "——it's interesting." 』
