Cherish the time

After the final exams in early July, the students ushered in the long-awaited holiday.

Shinto and Taya both got a good report card, and the professional chess side also triumphed all the way, and the mood of the two was relaxed and happy.

And speaking of summer holidays...

All you can think of is-

beach!swimsuit!Smash the watermelon!

as well as!

Test your guts!

When He Gu excitedly photographed a small advertisement in front of Jinto, Jinto just glanced at it calmly, and said "Oh" very embarrassingly.

"Hey! Are you a middle school student?" He Gu expressed his confusion, "Isn't it a good two-day and three-night beach trip? The chess academy also arranged it very well!"

Then Shinto carefully picked up the small hand-painted advertisement and looked at it, and said in his noble drake voice, "A beach trip for two, are you sure?"

"..." He Gu was silent for a moment, "Of course there is Xiao Liang!"

"There's something wrong with the three of you." Shindo took a sip of the drink, and bulged the cold orange juice in his mouth.

"That's disgusting, Hikari. Zuo Wei frowned in disgust, and then asked with some expectation, "What is the test of courage?" 』

"It's a group of people going to a spooky place to do something that shows guts. ”Shinto swallowed his drink obediently, “I’m already past the age when I have that kind of hobby…”

"Secondary two?Xiaoguang, you are only in the first grade of middle school, right?Hegu seems to be the second grader? 』

"It's not that middle school..." Shinto suddenly had the urge to touch his forehead, but looking at Kazuya's eyes shining with anticipation... "Well, I think you are right to say that..."

Kazutani didn't know about his communication with Sakui, and only thought that Shinto was thinking seriously, so he waited excitedly for Shinto's decision.

So the real old man Hikari Shinto, who just wanted to stay at home with the air conditioner and play chess, didn't want to go out at all.

In the end, he could only say, "Ah...let's discuss it after Xiao Liang comes."

"What are you discussing?" Then Taya's voice came from behind Shinto.

Shinto was startled by him, and looked back with lingering fear, only to see Taya today wearing a set of white short-sleeved shirt and brown overalls shorts, the whole person looks much more immature, making people want to do it Ravaged desire.

"Hi," Kazuya greeted him naturally, snatched the small advertisement from Shinto, held it high and handed it to Taya, "Come and see this!"

"Oh." Taya first sat down next to Shinto, then took the advertisement and began to study it.

Kazuya has been paying close attention to Taya's eye movements, and when he finally raised his eyes as if he had finished watching, he hurriedly asked, "How is it? How is it?"

"I think it's okay." Takashi replied calmly.

"Eh—?" Seeing the same flat reaction from the two of them, Kazuya was a little dissatisfied, "Why are you not interested in this? I also want to say that I can go to the Go game there..."

"Go match?"

"Go game? 』

"Go match?"

Both of them seemed to be enthusiastically ignited, and they immediately responded to this keyword.

"Well," He Gu crumpled the ad into a ball and tossed it by himself, "It's a privately organized competition, organized by the owner of the hotel where I'm going to stay. The No.1 competition is free to eat all you can eat watermelon or something..."

"Ah?" Shinto felt that half of his sudden enthusiasm had been extinguished.

"Let's go~ Xiaoguang, let's go~" Zuowei was very happy, "Maybe we can meet interesting opponents!" 』

"Because it can't be regarded as a serious game, it is said that there are quite a few professional chess players participating every year—but it seems that the professional chess players from Kansai have won the championship for several years..."

"Oh..." Shinto lowered his head and began to sip his drink again, with a very tangled expression on his face, not knowing what he was planning in his heart.

——Actually, he was going to start to concentrate on dealing with this haunting ghost that only he could see.

"What kind of game was played over there?" Taya asked.

"Are you talking about beach volleyball?" He Gu's eyes lit up, "That's a very interesting sport—"

Taya pressed the call button on the table and interrupted He Gu, "I'm talking about the Go game."

"It is said that the rules are different every year, and it also contains elements of courage, which is very interesting." He Gu thought for a while, "Like last year, it seemed to be the Kanto Kansai competition..."

The waiter came over at the right time to record the drinks that Taya had ordered, and then left with a sweet smile.

"Go on." The drake's voice sounded again.

"What?" He Gu was stunned for a moment, and after half a second he realized, "Do you want to go?"

"If there is a Go game, I'm really interested." Shinto admitted generously, "When is it?"

"July 26 to July 28!" He Gu regained his energy all of a sudden, pinched the ball of paper in his hand with a horizontal hand, and then unfolded it very dog-leggedly, and began to read one by one.

Shinto interrupted him, and said in a hoarse voice, "You can find a few more people, I think...at least seven people will be decent?"

"Those from the Haze Go Club!" Wada began to snap his fingers without thinking, "If Yamazaki-kun can't do it, Tsutsui-kun, Mitani-kun, Kurosawa-kun, and Mingming!"

"——Why did you start calling her Mingming?" Shinto immediately sensed something was wrong, and subconsciously raised the air of "Mingming's brother", "Didn't you still call her Fujisaki-chan a few days ago?" !"

"It's what she said that made me call it that—" He Gu was aggrieved, "It's because I'm Xiaoguang's friend or something... Speaking of which, are you a couple after all? It's very difficult to protect each other all the time. It's annoying!"

"The friendship of childhood sweethearts...you won't understand." Jinto gave him a "winner in life" smile, and brought the topic back to the topic, "Then you go ask them, if there are not enough people, you can still bring a meal Islands and Hondas and things like that…”

"Leave it to me!" Having encountered an unexpected turn of events, He Gu Yigao, who seemed to have finally got his wish, accepted the task this time very understandingly.

After solving a big problem, the three of them tacitly changed the topic to the recent games.

In view of the fact that the two of them have not faced each other in hand, and they have not been able to face each other in the preliminary stage of the two title matches, Ryo Taya undoubtedly maintains the only record of defeat, and Shindo has zero defeat. Complete victory, the momentum is so strong that it seems to set a new record for the longest winning streak in the Go world.

However, although the light of these two people is dazzling, they are only attracting attention in the circle of newcomers at the moment. To reach the height of Taya Yukihiro, even for laymen, the name is still thunderous...the two still have A long way to go.
