Cherish the time

"Ikaku..." Shinto thought for a while, "He... is too easily influenced by his own emotions. 』

"Although chess players are more or less influenced by their current emotions when playing chess, and some people can even play wonderful games only when they are under pressure..." The blond boy scratched his head with some annoyance, "But Yijiao is too much. 』

He remembered that Yijiao was also depressed after playing against him in his previous life, and suddenly he became a little happy again, "But as long as he can overcome this problem, his growth will attract everyone's attention. 』

He couldn't wait to see Yijiao's shining eyes and confident expression when he came back from the Chinese Chess Academy.

Only this time, the person who polished out the hidden qualities of Yijiao...

It will be him Shinto Hikari!

Seeing Xiaoguang's confident expression, the corners of Zuo Wei's mouth could not help but slightly curl up.

——Yeah...Xiaoguang is not a child anymore...There is nothing to worry about...

But this faint welling up from the depths of his soul...worries that he couldn't ignore...what was the cause of it?

He was a little crazy thinking about it for a moment, and stood there blankly.

Shindo took two steps and found that he hadn't followed, so he shouted loudly in his mind, "Sakai!What are you in a daze for? 』

"If you don't keep up, I don't want you~" Shinto said with a smile, raising his foot to leave.

"ah! ” Zuo Wei chased after him with his fists waved, “Xiaoguang, you have no conscience! 』

The next day.

Shinto and Zuowei came to the Go club together after school @修报.

But today, Sangu is no longer here.

Shinto made a general search for Mitani, and stepped down his shoulders in disappointment.

The boss sat at the cash register and read the newspaper, and when he saw him turn to leave, he said, "Are you looking for Sangu? He usually arrives late."

"Oh?" Shindo Hikaru thought for a while, remembering that the two schools are different, and the distance from the Go club is also different, "Then why did he come so early yesterday?"

"Yesterday, Mr. Gao Liu made an appointment with him to play chess." The boss slowly turned over a page of the newspaper, "Do you know Sangu?"

"Uh..." Shinto simply leaned against the counter and talked to the boss, "It can't be regarded as acquaintance...——I have a friend who asked me to come and see him."

"Did you come here on purpose to find that tall guy yesterday?" The boss didn't express any surprise at the answer, and asked another question.

Shinto Hikaru touched his nose in embarrassment, acquiescing to this guess.

"If you want to torture him, it's fine." The boss looked up at him, and said calmly, "If there is any other purpose... I'm afraid we need to change the method."

The expression on Jinteng's face became a little more serious, and he didn't answer.

"Axiu! Add a pot of tea here!" The customer in the store suddenly shouted.

The boss didn't talk to Xiaoguang any more, and went out from the cash register with the kettle on his own.

Shinto stood there frowning for a while, then opened the door and went out.

"Xiaoguang? 』Zuowei looked at the solemn expression on his face, and felt that something was wrong.

"…fine. ”Shinto smiled at him reluctantly, “It should be...it will be fine. 』

"Eh? 』

"Let's go play chess with Xiaoliang. 』Shinto directly changed the subject, obviously not wanting to discuss the issue with him in depth.

Zuo Wei vaguely had an unformed conjecture in his heart, so he didn't ask further.

One person and one ghost took the subway to the Go club where Xiaoliang was.

Shindo Jinmon was about to say hello to Ichikawa Harumi when he was stopped by a gesture from the other party.

Shihe stretched out a finger to his lips with one hand, and pointed to the place where Xiao Liang usually sat with the other finger—there was a row of partitions between the place where the child usually sat and the door, so it was difficult to see the child from the door at a glance. Spy on the situation over there.

Shinto Hikaru understood and walked over there.

Bypassing the partition where the potted plants were placed, Shinto finally saw the situation here——

Ryo Toya is playing chess with Seiji Ogata.

He quietly stood behind Taya and began to study the current situation on the board.

This chess game didn't seem to have started for a long time. There were no more than forty pieces on the board, and it was hard to tell which side had the upper hand.

Xiaoliang was very focused and didn't notice him approaching, but Ogata raised his head and nodded to him.

After the game review with Ichiyanagi, Shinto and Ogata can be regarded as knowing each other, so Xiaoguang also nodded to him.

In fact, this man Ogata Seiji is handsome and smart, just like Taya Ryo, he doesn't seem like a man willing to be trapped in the nineteen-way chessboard at all.

In the previous life, there was a period of time when rumors about Ogata's extramarital affairs were raging. In the end, even the chess academy was alarmed, so they stepped forward to suppress the rumors.

It does not rule out the suspicion that someone deliberately obstructed him, but a large part of it is actually related to his extremely high popularity among female chess players. He has short flaxen hair, hazel pupils, a handsome face, and a height that is quite outstanding among Japanese , thus attracting the attention of many women.

A survey once claimed that during the period after he became Honinbo, Japanese women's attention to Go reached the highest proportion in recent years.

But it is just such a man who seems to be able to easily get a good life that many people can't imagine, but he loves the game of Go from the bottom of his heart. At that time, without thinking, he answered "someone who can play Go with me".

In his previous life, Zuo Wei played a game with him who was drunk before disappearing.

The first real confrontation between Shinto Hikaru and him was after the Hokuto Cup.

And then... After the 24-year-old Shinto won the title of Honinbo from Ogata, they had confronted each other in various title events one after another, and the two sides won each other.

Shindo liked to play chess with him very much, until Ogata suffered a sudden pneumonia one day when he was 46 years old. He was sent to the hospital and was found to be in the middle stage of lung cancer. dyed black.

After a period of treatment, Ogata, like Toya Yukihiro, made the decision to retire from the Japanese chess world and became active in various amateur tournaments in Japan, China and Korea.

It may be because of the good recuperation later, after Shinto himself was admitted to the hospital due to a sudden illness, Ogata came to visit him, and he seemed to be in good spirits.

Shinto Hikaru was lost in thought, but the match between Ogata and Taya did not stop because of his distraction.

After the step-by-step probing by the two sides, Ryo Taya accidentally exposed a small flaw—and this is really the opportunity that Ogata has been waiting for for a long time!

Like a poisonous snake standing upright and spitting out the letter, once it finds the opponent's flaw, it immediately reveals its hidden fangs, and bites down fiercely——!
