Ring ring ring~~!
The cell phone suddenly rang.
The young man took out his phone, glanced at it, raised an eyebrow slightly, answered the call, and greeted her with a smile: "Mwah mwah, Kaguya-neechan."
"Brother Yunying, I want to ask, after we arrive in Kyoto, can I live alone with Hayasaka?" Kaguya Shinomiya's voice came from the other side.
The young man smiled faintly and said, "What? Is Kaguya looking down on Third Brother's place, so she doesn't want to live with him anymore?"
"No, no!" Kaguya Shinomiya explained.
"Alright, it's fine. I'm not as old-fashioned as my father. If you want to go, that's fine too. But I'll arrange for Nao to go with you. How about that?" the young man said.
"Hi~, thank you very much, Brother Yunying." Kaguya Shinomiya's voice revealed a hint of joy. Of course, there was another joyful voice on the phone as well.
It's probably her sister's personal maid, Hayasaka Ai, because she's happy to hear that she's going to arrange for her mother, Hayasaka Nao, to come and help take care of her.
The young man smiled and shook his head. Before Kaguya Shinomiya hung up the phone, he asked, "By the way, Kaguya-neechan, you seem to be quite familiar with that young master of Adachi Ward, don't you?"
"Huh?" Kaguya Shinomiya didn't often hear Luo Chen address her by that name, so she didn't react immediately.
"Luo Chen, 8th Dan." The young man smiled and helped recall, "At Shuchi Academy, you and Kaguya were classmates."
Kaguya Shinomiya's voice suddenly became urgent: "Yun...Yun Ying-nii, how do you know all this?"
"I've only heard about it briefly."
The young man smiled and said, "Alright, if you want to come, hurry up and come. The second match of the Meijin tournament is almost over. If my current support, Fujii-kun, loses, when Kaguya-neechan comes to Kyoto, I'll have to trouble her to introduce me to that legendary young master of Adachi Ward."
Kaguya Shinomiya hesitated for a long time on the phone before softly replying, "Okay, but my relationship with the president isn't particularly good... so I hope Yunying-nii won't be disappointed if he doesn't agree."
"Of course." The young man nodded with a smile and hung up the phone.
However, after hanging up the phone, the young man rubbed his temples and sighed softly, mocking himself: "She was raised and cared for by her father since she was a child, but now, Kaguya is starting to have her own ideas, hiding so much from me, the third son."
“Young Master, I think that Miss Kaguya didn’t mean it that way. She just subconsciously protected him because she likes that young master.”
A woman dressed in a maid outfit, who looked somewhat like Hayasaka Ai but with a more mature face, stepped forward and spoke.
"is it?"
The young man stroked his chin, smiled, and nodded. "Perhaps so. But I never expected that Kaguya would find someone she likes while studying, and even her personality has changed quite a bit... Hehe~."
"The young master of Adachi Ward has also entered," Hayasaka Nao turned to remind Shinomiya Un'taka.
"understood."
Shinomiya Un'yō nodded, his gaze fixed on the broadcast on the television, gradually turning serious as he asked, "Nao, who do you think will win this match?"
Nao Hayasaka answered bluntly, "I don't know shogi."
"Hey~, hey~, Nao is as rational as ever, but I think... he'll win!"
Shinomiya Un'ei's lips curled up slightly again. He pointed his index finger at the television screen, nodded slightly to Fujii, and then sat down with a smile.
Chapter 336 Celebrity Second Round Battle: Luo Chen vs. Little Fujii
Inside room number 3 of the second round of the Celebrity Tournament.
Luo Chen and Xiao Fujii sat facing each other. Since there was still a while before the start time of the competition, the two chatted for a few minutes.
"I heard that the Kiriya Sushi House in Kyoto was closed to guests yesterday, saying that they were only entertaining the young master. I wonder if the young master went to taste their amazing sushi last night?" Fujii asked with a smile.
Luo Chen shrugged and smiled in response: "Of course I went there. I went up in the evening. Since it was a generous gift from Senior Itogaya, as a junior, I couldn't be impolite."
"I do envy the young master a bit. That's the Kiriya family of Kyoto, something so many people would kill for, hoping to snatch from the hands of the Itogaya family," Fujii said sincerely.
"Really? It was just a lucky win. If it happened again, Fujii-kun might be the one to win," Luo Chen said modestly.
Little Fujii narrowed his eyes, his thirst for knowledge at that moment incredibly strong: "I have a question that I have been asking for a long time but have not been able to answer. I wonder if the young master could answer it?"
"Please speak freely, Fujii-kun," Luo Chen said with a smile.
"In the first round of the battle, what kind of technique did the young master use to defeat Uchimura Takuto, an eighth-dan player, within a mere 24 seconds?" At this moment, Fujii's eyes were incredibly sharp and shining!
"Well..." Luo Chen touched the tip of his nose and said without hiding anything, "I don't know if you would believe me if I told you, but I just anticipated all of Uchimura Takuto's thoughts in advance."
"what?!"
Fujii was visibly shaken.
"There's a saying that goes something like this, I wonder if Fujii-kun has heard it before." Luo Chen smiled slightly and then said, "By following someone else's path, you can leave them with no path to follow."
Little Fujii fell silent, glancing at Luo Chen several times, wanting to speak, but then keeping quiet again.
He continued to immerse himself in his own complex world of thought, while rationally judging whether Luo Chen's words were true or false.
Luo Chen smiled slightly but said nothing more.
He had only met Kofuji once, and they weren't particularly close.
However, in order to win more easily, I will tell him the truth about my 24th move, namely Takuto Tsunemura's 8th dan, which will put some psychological pressure on him.
"What will he think now?"
"Does he think I'm bragging? Or has my image suddenly become unfathomable in his mind?"
Luo Chen thought about these things with great interest.
In contrast, look at Kofuji.
In fact, he had considered both the possibility that Luo Chen was boasting and the possibility that Luo Chen's chess skills were unfathomable.
However, even when the second round of the battle officially began and the referee loudly announced the 11-point result, allowing him to go first, he still couldn't figure out what kind of person Luo Chen was.
"Young Master, it seems Lady Luck is on my side. I apologize for the inconvenience."
Fujii pulled his wandering thoughts back, smiled slightly, and picked up his pawn. As a Go player from Kanto, he naturally remained true to his principles despite the ever-changing situation.
As he took this step, he was actually thinking about it.
It doesn't matter what kind of person Luo Chen is. He actually scored 11 points and won the first move. Invincible!!
In shogi matches, the difference between going first and second is significant. In high-level games, the difference between going first and second can often determine the outcome of a closely contested game.
Now that he has made the first move, he is not afraid of anyone, not even the least experienced Luo Chen, let alone Kuzuryu Yaichi and Kamina Ayumu!
"Ah."
Luo Chen nodded slightly, said nothing, and then took another route.
"I've heard a lot about this young master from Adachi Ward; he's quite the learner. Sure enough, he's here again!"
After trying to predict Luo Chen's next move without success, Xiao Fujii decided to follow his own thinking and prepare for the first attack.
As Fujii once said at Kenichi Itoya's house, after years of training, he is now very skilled at early and mid-game kills.
Unlike the aggressive tactics of the Nine-Headed Dragon Eight-One, they prefer to exchange pieces and launch a fierce attack!
Unlike Shinkabe Ayumu, the self-developed Shinkabe style of attack is stable and sharp!
His talent in shogi lies not in the endgame, but rather in the early and middle game. He enjoys disrupting his opponent's opening rhythm and making them look ferocious in the early and middle game.
In this way, once the early and middle game is destroyed, there's almost no point in continuing into the endgame. Therefore, Fujii also has an extremely brilliant title in the Go world: "The genius who commits suicide!"
The implication is that the genius Fujii's unpredictable and eccentric playing style often causes his opponents to collapse and resign in the endgame!
Suicide! That is, to surrender voluntarily, to abandon one's pawns and admit defeat!
In the blink of an eye, Luo Chen and Xiao Fujii exchanged over a dozen gestures, and time flew by...
During this period, the Kansai Go players' mouths were stretched wide all the way to their ears as they laughed heartily!
Because of Luo Chen's chess skills and tactics!
Without a doubt, it's from Zhenfei Car!!
Because Luo Chen is known for his complex and chaotic learning style, he uses all sorts of movement techniques and combat tactics, and sometimes he can even exaggeratedly combine them together.
Just like last time, in the first round of the celebrity battle, even though he didn't have the first move, he still made a bizarre move that was not a "vibrating car".
Therefore, when they saw that Luo Chen still did not make the first move, the Kansai Go players held their breath, and no one dared to speak out triumphantly.
After 10 moves, the lines gradually became clearer, and these Kansai Go players suddenly became excited!
They shouted and cheered excitedly!
"The Flying Car Gang!! It's pretty clear, isn't it? This is undoubtedly the Flying Car faction!!"
"My God! This young master from Adachi Ward actually used the Vibrating Car style in the second round of the competition! Awesome!!"
"I was moved to tears! I thought that apart from the fact that the Meijin Tournament would be held in Kyoto on May 5.9th, there would be no more Kansai players after the second round!"
"Young Master is awesome!!!"
"What great demon king or villain? Nobody stop me! From today onwards, I support this young master of Adachi Ward! What are you going to do about it?!"
"Haha! Young master of Adachi Ward, as long as you use the Zhenfei car, we're good friends! Enough talk, you win!!!"
"I, Hokushin 6-dan, wholeheartedly praise the young master of Adachi Ward!"
"Just got it!!"
"..."
Even Ikushi Mitsuru, who was most concerned about the Kanto and Kansai factions and the Jubilee and Zhenbilee factions on the third floor of the Goeisha, suddenly rushed out, leaning on the railing and laughing heartily:
