Chapter 323 Nakano Satsuki, I think you're afraid I won't die!
"Chen-kun~, what's wrong?" Gong Yufan Manzhi was a little puzzled when he saw Luo Chen suddenly smile while eating.
"Look at it."
Luo Chen smiled and handed the phone to Gong Yufan Wanzhi.
When Yugomi Machi saw the picture, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, especially since she also noticed the little actions that Sora Ginko and Hinatsuru Ai were doing.
Under the chessboard, both of them clenched their fists tightly, clearly holding back their energy, which made them look particularly adorable.
"That idiot Queen Two Crowns has always been like this. I only came to understand her later, although at first I really hated her."
The smile on Yuugo's face inadvertently turned into a doting aunt's smile. Oni-Tsubasa pulled him away.
Of course, Gong Yuhan Manzhi didn't know why Yue Mieguiyi kept targeting and bullying her. Anyway, her favorability towards Kong Yinzi had increased a lot, but she still hated Yue Mieguiyi.
After all, Sora Ginko is still a rival in love.
Besides, since Sora Ginko still dislikes her behavior and speaks ruthlessly to her, she doesn't feel guilty at all when she tries to trick Sora Ginko.
Luo Chen was worried that Aoyama Nanami was being neglected, so he handed the phone back to Aoyama Nanami so that she could take a look too.
However, Aoyama Nanami was completely confused. She only saw Sora Ginko and Hinatsuru Ai playing chess, but she didn't know why Luo Chen and Gong Gohan Manzhi were laughing.
"Speaking of which, Nanami, how long do you plan to stay in Kyoto? Is the Meijin tournament over yet?" Luo Chen asked curiously.
“Ah, well…” Aoyama Nanami scratched his head and said, “The Meijin tournament seems to last a long time, but I’ll probably be going back to Adachi Ward in about four days.”
"I see. Well then, for the next four days, you'll be our personal attendant," Luo Chen said with a smile.
Aoyama Nanami pursed her lips, conflicted, unsure of what to say, so she lowered her head and ate in small, restrained bites.
To be honest, the wealth of the family that provided meals for Machi was indeed quite high for a commoner like her. Naturally, she would always feel a little uncomfortable eating in such a family.
Even though there were only three people eating, and the other two were the familiar Luo Chen and Wan Zhi who provided the food, the environmental factors had a huge impact!
After lunch, Gogohan Manji took Aoyama Nanami out shopping. Luo Chen, having nothing to do, went to find Hinatsuru Akina, thinking he would chat with her and maybe get her a massage.
To everyone's surprise, Hinatsuru Akina's room was empty, with no one there. It seemed that the negotiations had reached a very intense stage, and she wouldn't be able to come back at noon. It was unknown whether she would be able to come back at night.
Luo Chen left the room, and his phone suddenly rang.
"Nakano, May?"
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, answered the call, and heard Nakano Satsuki congratulate him, "Hehe, hehe, congratulations! You actually won! You defeated Uchimura Takuto 8th dan in 24 moves, amazing!"
! ”
Luo Chen smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to still be paying attention."
“Of course! All five of us sisters went to the stadium to watch the match and cheer you on. Aren’t you touched?” Nakano Satsuki asked.
Luo Chen shrugged and joked, "It's so-so. Of course, I would be even more touched if you were just there to cheer me on, instead of because of the meal at the Misty House later."
"you……"
Nakano Satsuki remained silent for a long time, feeling somewhat ashamed, after all, what she valued most was that Kiriya cuisine!
As for genuinely cheering for Luo Chen, the two aren't very familiar with each other, and Ichika and Nino don't even know Luo Chen, so it's far from the truth.
"Alright, let's set a time. We have a lot of free time today. If you want to go, I suggest tonight. What about you?" Luo Chen said with a faint smile.
"Eh?"
Nakano Satsuki was a little surprised that the topic suddenly changed back. She was taken aback and hurriedly called out, "Ichika! Nino, Miku, Yotsuba! That kid in casual clothes asked us if we have time tonight!"
This wasn't clearly directed at him, but what the heck is this "casual clothes kid"?
Luo Chen was speechless.
Seemingly having received an answer from the four sisters, Nakano Satsuki smiled and said, "Sure, in that case, how about we meet tonight? We can just meet right in front of the Gogoi family's house."
Luo Chen said with a forced smile, "Not so great, Nakano Satsuki. I think you're just afraid I won't die!!"
"Puch!"
"Kino Town?" Luo Chen was completely confused.
"Hey hey~! Let me tell you! It's from the Imperial Rice House, go straight for about a kilometer, then turn left, and it's about 500 meters to the intersection."
An extra sound broke in.
"Yotsuba!!" Nakano Itsuki pushed Yotsuba away angrily, snatched back the phone, and said with puffed-out cheeks, "Although that idiot Yotsuba said it, the exact location is roughly like this."
“Okay, I have no problem with that.” Luo Chen nodded in agreement.
For him, the best meeting place would definitely be the Kiriya in Kyoto, so that someone could drive him there directly.
However, no matter how you try to explain it, coming to Kyoto without experiencing the local subway seems like a regret.
There's a saying, isn't there? The subway is the fastest way to understand a city's transportation system... I think that's true?
"Hi~! See you tonight. We'll be there on time at 5 o'clock. Goodbye," Nakano Satsuki said goodbye over the phone.
"Okay." Luo Chen nodded again and hung up the phone.
Yugomi Machi took Aoyama Nanami out for a stroll, and it was unclear how long they would go. Hinatsuru Akina was not home and was out discussing official business.
Hmm, it's a bit boring, Qin.
I might as well take a nap.
After waking up from my afternoon nap, I went to take over the Kyoto Kiriya project!
Chapter 324 Exceptionally Talented People and Hard-Working Individuals
Compared to the slow progress of the Kyoto Meijin Tournament, the Women's Kurashiki Tofu Flower Tournament held in Chiyoda Ward was much faster.
Ai Hinatsuru is 9 years old this year, making her the youngest contestant, yet no one dares to underestimate this young contestant in this competition.
In her first match, Hinatsuru Ai easily defeated a female professional Go player in 178 moves.
In the second battle, after another 230 moves, a female professional Go player was driven to the brink of elimination, with the outcome now only a matter of time.
Mr. Murasame, who was watching the game from outside, looked very proud, especially after hearing the hushed discussions around him.
"This child is quite remarkable."
"She just went through the entry-level tournament for the reward club a few days ago, but now she can already compete against real female Go players. That's terrifying."
"Just who is this girl? Why is she so strong?"
"Huh? Are you an idiot? You don't even know who she is? She's always been very popular, and her master is also very popular lately."
"Who?"
"That guy from Adachi Ward..."
"What???"
"My God, why would there be such a silly shogi star fan watching the women's tournament... But then again, I have a feeling this time, the Kurashiki Touka tournament is going to be a killer for the elementary school kids!!"
"Well, even if she's a disciple of that young master of the 457 family, going on a killing spree is still a bit excessive, isn't it? There are still some female second-dan players in this Kurashiki Fujika tournament. The strongest one, Kazuki Sen, is already a third-dan and has defeated female fourth-dan masters before, hasn't she?"
"That's true. Ah~! There's nothing we can do about it. This elementary school student is a disciple of that person. I always feel that a miracle might happen, like a 24-kill eighth dan."
That's really outrageous.
"I've heard about it too, it's exaggerated!"
"If you haven't heard about this, what's the point of watching shogi? This is the talk of the town in the shogi world, okay?"
"Hehehe~"
"..."
Ms. Murasame was somewhat reluctant to move, listening intently to discussions like these, her smile growing wider and wider until…
Snapped!
"King Hand!!"
On move 245, Hinatsuru Ai played a move that immediately taunted the enemy!
The girl kneeling opposite her looked to be at least 19 or 20 years old, and instantly revealed an expression of extreme pain.
She buried her face in her hands, tears streaming down her face, murmuring repeatedly, "How could this be? How could this be? How could this happen? I actually lost to a child ten years younger than me..."
Ms. Murasame was taken aback, and for some reason, her smile faded. Her mind subconsciously drifted back to the days when she struggled and struggled at the awards ceremony.
Despite my best efforts, there's nothing I can do. It seems my talent has reached its limit, so I can only lose again and again...
Losing to those older than yourself, losing to those of similar age, losing to those younger than yourself, until one day...
She felt she had come to terms with it, packed her bags, and prepared to leave the training program.
"Oto-chan! Are you leaving?"
At that time, another girl in my dorm, who was about the same age as me, asked me with a lot of complicated emotions, gritting her teeth.
"Yes."
"No matter how hard I try, I can't win. Forget it, maybe this is the end of my life. I want to find another way out."
