I was planning to take a nap in the afternoon, but Yasha-gami Ten'i and Shiina Mashiro dragged me to play in the water.
To be honest, it wasn't really him playing around; he was essentially acting as a human engine, constantly helping to propel the air cushion.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the air cushion is suspended on the water and looks like it's easy to move.
This kind of exercise is extremely strenuous!
First of all, there are people on the air cushion, and there are two of them!
Secondly, the resistance in water is much greater than on land, so to be honest, every step forward takes a lot of effort.
After an afternoon of "playing," Luo Chen was exhausted and just wanted to roll his eyes.
Even when Kamiya Ayumu, who had overcome her psychological trauma, came to him for a game of Go and a beating, he was rejected.
Of course, dinner is still necessary.
What's more, tonight's dinner is a get-together!
Since everyone will be officially leaving tomorrow, ending our two-day, two-night trip to the hot spring resort, a big dinner is inevitable.
All the staff from JS Research Institute, as well as everyone from Sakura-so, Maid Cafe, Shakya-do Research Society, and elementary school students were all included.
What's most surprising is that in Wakura Onsen, there are actually rooms that big, big enough to accommodate everyone to have a meal together.
At the dinner table, Luo Chen and Shijiatang Lina sat at the head of the table. After a day of fun, everyone's faces were filled with satisfied and happy smiles.
"Young master, it's time to say a few words. Let's drink until we drop today!" Shakya Rina said with a light laugh.
"Hmm..." Luo Chen nodded gently, filled his glass, raised it, and addressed everyone, "I'm so happy to have been able to invite everyone to come and enjoy this vacation in Wakura Onsen. Although it's been tiring, I have to admit it's been really fun..."
"So, I hereby declare today's gathering officially open! Everyone, drink until you drop! And even if you get drunk, you can sleep in the hot springs and enjoy yourself to the fullest... Cheers!!"
"Whoa~!!!!"
The atmosphere inside the room was instantly ignited.
"cheers!"
"Cheers!"*2
Cheers!
The sounds of collisions were incessant.
Especially the professors in the JS research group, such as Kuruno Yoshitsune, who usually act extremely serious during the JS research.
Since arriving in the hot spring town, I've completely let loose.
While everyone else was drinking low-alcohol beer or shochu, these people were drinking high-alcohol liquor directly. After just a couple of glasses, their faces turned bright red.
"My dearest friend~"
Shingo Ayumi, holding a wine glass, sat down opposite Luo Chen.
Luo Chen smiled, raised his glass, and said, "Cheers?"
"cheers!"
Kamiya Ayumi first clinked glasses with Luo Chen, then chuckled and took out her lipstick to touch up her makeup, saying slowly, "The Kyoto Meijin Tournament is starting in less than two weeks."
Luo Chen smiled and nodded, "Time really flies."
"This time, there are many difficulties."
Ayumu Kamiya's eyes turned serious, her usual frivolity and leisure gone. Of course, her tone was still somewhat childish.
"Not only the young and legendary Dragon King Hachiichi, but also my dear friend who ascended the God's Ladder the fastest in history, me, the Silver Paladin, and Little Fujii who can kill a man in ten steps..."
"The four of us are arguably the strongest 8-dan players, and even in the history of shogi in Japan, we are the strongest!!!"
Luo Chen coughed lightly and asked in confusion, "Brother Shen Guo, it's no problem that Yaichi and Fujii are both 8th Dan, but you and I are only 7th Dan right now, right?"
Shen Guobu Meng chuckled, revealing a face full of arrogance.
While sitting quietly enjoying wine and barbecue, Shakya Tanglin chuckled and said, "Oh my! Young master, as the person in charge, don't you know? Just last night at midnight, the Shogi Federation officially issued a decree."
Luo Chen shook his head blankly.
He really didn't know!
5.3
Last night, he fell asleep comfortably while Hina Tsuru gently cleaned his ears.
This morning and afternoon, I was either chatting with Hinatsuru Akina and playing pastry games, or playing in the water with Shiina Mashiro and her second disciple, Yashakami Ten'i, acting as their tool.
I don't have time to look at my phone or browse forums.
Shakya Tanglinai said jokingly, "Young master, you really are oblivious to what's going on around you... However, this decree does indeed prove one thing."
Kamiya Ayumu lightly pressed down on her golden right eye with one hand, and slowly said in a chuunibyou-esque yet arrogant tone:
"It is undeniable that our strength has been recognized by everyone... Therefore, effective immediately, with the personal approval of President Moonlight, my dear friend and I have all been promoted to the eighth dan!"
"A professional 8th dan!!!"
Chapter 262 A Truly Insane Battle!!
"That's it..."
Luo Chen nodded slowly.
Unbeknownst to him, his rank had increased again, and he had directly reached the professional eighth rank.
still alright.
"But Brother Shen Guo, we already knew about these things. We even knew that, in addition to what you just mentioned, there were two other ninth-dan masters, Baiyi Mingren and Wanxiang Tianluo. And then what?"
Luo Chen's unspoken meaning was, since he already knew about these things, what was the point of bringing them up today?
It seems pointless.
Unless they are scared.
Shen Guo Bu Meng seemed to understand Luo Chen's meaning and said seriously, "My dear friend, we are not afraid of them!"
"Oh?" Luo Chen indicated that he was all ears.
"only……"
Kamiya Ayumu frowned and said,
"These guys all went to Kyoto to attend a training conference, and they've all achieved remarkable results these days."
"Kijiro Fujii kills an 8-dan in 57 moves, the Nine-Headed Dragon Elephant hangs on the Taisei Hirajin 02 Secret 9-dan, the White-Clad Meijin announces he will use the new Taisei strategy to deal with everything, even the 9-dan Shinobu Taishi of the Bansho Tenra... since it is his choice to make this the last dance in his shogi career, it will surely be brilliant!"
"But, my dear friend, it seems that things have been too peaceful between us."
Luo Chen understood now.
Shen Guobu Meng, is this because you're unwilling to be lonely and ordinary?
Seeing that the other favorites to win the Celebrity Tournament had all achieved remarkable results before the competition, I felt a little unbalanced!
Luo Chen touched his chin.
But then Shen Guo Bu Meng suddenly chuckled mischievously: "Heh~! But, my dear friend, we haven't wasted any time during this period. In the long, lonely night, we have also come to understand the ultimate meaning of the Requiem."
Shen Guobu Meng smiled mysteriously, giving Luo Chen no chance to ask any more questions. She turned around, put one hand on her hip, and left proudly like a true knight-errant.
Luo Chen was speechless.
"Ha ha!"
Beside her, Shakya Rina couldn't help but laugh heartily, covering her mouth and looking very happy. She even winked at Luo Chen with a mischievous smile: "Young Master, it seems you'd better be careful in the Celebrity Tournament in December... that could become a truly insane battle."
Luo Chen rolled his eyes, remaining noncommittal.
Is he being cautious?
Is it because everyone else has made progress at different levels?
You don't have to.
Because his progress is even greater!
Whether it's "Blessing of the Witch King" or "Heart of the Emperor," developing these two new skills will instantly grant you formidable strength capable of annihilating everything.
Gudu Gudu!
Luo Chen finished his glass of red wine in one gulp, yawned, and said, "Senior Shijiatang, I'll take my leave now."
"Isn't the young master planning to leave with the silver?" Shakya Tōrinai teased with a grin.
"Forget it, even if I take her with me, I'll probably be bothered again soon enough." Luo Chen rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Sora Ginko is being dragged into a drinking contest by Gogohan Manchi.
I don't know which of the two is the idiot.
Anyway, Sora Ginja only takes a small sip when drinking, while Gome Machi drinks it all down in a very loyal way.
Yue Mieguiyi knelt to the side, speaking in a calm tone, but in reality he was covering for Tsukiyo Misaka Ryo and fanning the flames!
"Good night."
