Cherish the time

After brutally torturing Toya Ryo, Shindo finally felt the anger that had been suppressed in his chest in his previous life, and felt that it was almost time to leave today.

When Ta Yaliang came back to his senses, it is estimated that he would have to play more than ten or twenty games of chess with him before he was reconciled.

So he got up cautiously, greeted Miss Shihe and left.

"Xiaoguang? 』The back of the blond boy looked a bit bleak, making Zuowei, who was following behind him, not sure if he should say something.

"Um? ’ Shinto Hikaru looked back as usual, ‘How is my chess game today? 』

"As a guide, it's a bit too strong. Zuowei immediately put aside the little worry before, "But for that child, it should be very appropriate. 』

"If you come to play, can you play better? 』

"Hmm... I guess he's a little gentler than you... But no matter what, if you don't want to lose against that kid, you have to be strong." ” Zuowei leaned against the fan and thought for a while, “It’s probably like this. 』

"Really..." The young man seemed to let go of some huge burden for a moment, and the smile on the corner of his mouth immediately came alive, "Let's go back and play chess!" 』

"Um! 』

The next few days were ordinary school life, and Hikari Shinto's grades became better and better as he cooperated with Zuowei more tacitly.

Needless to say, his social and sports achievements, even subjects like Mandarin and arithmetic seemed to have suddenly enlightened him, and his scores skyrocketed.

The class teacher also came over to care about him, and told him that although it is good to study, he should not work too hard.

He couldn't laugh or cry, and he could only pretend to keep all his concerns in mind.

On Sunday, Nihon Kiin Kaikan.

The final venue of the 19th Boys and Girls Go Tournament.

As soon as he walked into the venue, the tense atmosphere in the air turned into a viscous substance that squeezed the body and mind of everyone present.

When Hikari Shinto arrived, the competition had not yet started, and there were parents encouraging their children and children with serious faces everywhere.

"How's it going, Zoe?great huh? 』

"It's great, it's great! Zuo Wei looked around, "There are so many children!" 』

"It hasn't started yet, let's find a good place to sit and watch." 』

"It's a nice place. 』Zuo Wei pointed with his fan, pointing directly at the center of the rostrum.

Shinto's bald head was dripping with cold sweat, "Uh... that's not a place for the audience to sit. 』

"kindness?Could it be a place similar to the emperor's seat? 』

"Yeah, let's put it this way. 』

Just as he was looking for an unoccupied seat, the whole venue suddenly fell silent.

Shinto Hikaru looked up with a feeling, and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on Taya Yukihiro who had just walked in.The whole venue fell into a breathless silence.

"That man is..." Zuo Wei seemed to be provoked, and his aura was like a tiger that had been released from the gate, and he confronted Toya Yukihiro in the distance.

"Taya celebrity. 』Shinto Hikari continued with a smile.

The man in the kimono seemed to feel something, and looked towards this side from a distance, and after a while, he looked away again.

Wait for him to go to the stage.

"Boys and girls, comrades."

"I am an ordinary senior of yours, a pioneer in Go."

"But we're not different."

"The seriousness and enthusiasm for Go, I have not changed since I was a child like you."

"We are comrades who are exploring on the same road, and we are fellow-men with the same dream."

"In order to study the ultimate of God's Hand, we stand here and invite other comrades to discuss."

"Just keep working hard on this path with the belief that you never give up."

"One day, we will meet at the chess table."

"I'm ahead, waiting for you."

Shinto Hikari had never heard him give such a speech before, and he didn't know that this elder still had such a shocking talent.

As soon as I heard it, I felt a slight sway in my heart, like a rush of heat, which made me feel an unspeakable fighting spirit in my heart.

This is still the case with his mentality that has been practiced for a long time, let alone those young children.

The flames full of fighting spirit were ignited in the eyes of each one, and the small fists were tightly clenched on the chest.

It's really... touching.

"My enthusiasm for Go 100 years ago is the same as the enthusiasm of these children now. I can feel from them...even after so many years, it is still the same! 』

"That's right... the distant past and the future are connected through generations of children. 』

"It's really inspiring." Another voice buried deep in his memory sounded behind him.

Shinto Hikari was stunned for a moment, then turned his head uncertainly, and saw Tsutsui Kohiro-kun, who was a few sizes smaller than he remembered, clapping excitedly in front of him.

——It turns out, has there ever been such an intersection between them?

This kind of contact outside of memory feels amazing and wonderful.

"Yeah, it makes people feel motivated."

"Do you think so too?" Tsutsui-kun, who was wearing the Haze Middle School uniform, pushed his glasses, "Ah, are you a contestant?"

"No, I really want to take a look just after seeing the poster." Shindo Hikaru looked at this senior who had helped him a lot in his introductory stage of Go, and he felt a sense of superiority as a strange sorceress. "This is the uniform of Haze Middle School. Are you a student of Haze?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"I am a sixth-year student at Hasase Elementary School, and my name is Hikari Shinto."

"Ah! Haze Elementary School! My name is Tsutsui Kohiro, a first-year student in Haze Middle School. Are you interested in joining the Go Club?"

Shinto Hikari hesitated for a moment.

Whether it is out of his own heart or out of the perspective of protecting amateur chess players, he is unwilling and unable to participate in the competition between amateur chess players.

Just like Taya Ryo never participated in amateur competitions.

Although none of them are professional chess players yet, they have always upheld the self-consciousness of being professional chess players.
