However, Chitanda Eru doesn't seem to care whether others are polite enough; she only insists that she herself is polite enough.
"No, no, in fact I'm more sorry. I'm so sorry to have bothered you... Please go ahead."
Chitanda Eru took a few steps back.
Luo Chen waved and smiled, "See you next time."
Chitanda Eru blinked her bright eyes. Although they weren't close, since Luo Chen had already said so, she could only politely raise a hand and wave lightly, "Bye-bye~"
The old butler started the car and drove away.
……
...
Adachi Ward, Kieisha.
3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The game, which lasted for three hours, ended once again amidst boos.
Kuzuryu Yaichi vs. Yamato Batsujin, suffering a humiliating 2-0 defeat!
"He truly deserves the title of 'Grassroots Dragon King'."
"The fact that he's been cut down to eight pieces with a mountain knife will probably be an insurmountable obstacle for him."
"The most miserable Dragon King in history! If he loses again this time, it will be his 12th consecutive defeat. Although he is a genius, well, how should I put it?"
"In the end, it still lacked tempering."
"Hey! Can you guys stop talking so confidently? Don't you even know who the Nine-Headed Dragon King's opponent is?!"
"Although Mr. Shandao Fa is an 8-dan player, he is one of the few A-rank players in the Go world. Is it shameful to lose to Mr. Shandao Fa?"
"It's not that it's shameful, it's just that feeling of having high expectations of the Nine-Headed Dragon King, only to have them not met, you know?"
"Poor grassroots dragon king."
"It suddenly occurred to me that if I lose this time, the next Dragon King Tournament will become a tournament for transferring the Dragon King title?"
"..."
Amidst countless boos and whispers, Yaichi Kuzuryu did not leave dejectedly; instead, his face showed a hint of determination and excitement.
He practically ran all the way back to the JS Research Institute.
Halfway there, they suddenly bumped into Luo Chen. And what's that Luo Chen was holding in his arms? Doesn't it look like his senior sister?
No, I can't worry about that now.
Kuzuryu gave a perfunctory greeting: "Hello, senior brother. I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now. Goodbye."
A gust of wind swept past Luo Chen...
"This guy~"
Luo Chen subconsciously wanted to touch the tip of his nose, but then remembered that his hands were still carrying empty silver coins.
One is the body, and the other is the leg.
Okay, forget it.
Let's go back to the room first.
Luo Chen didn't have a key to Kong Yinzi's room, so he could only bring Kong Yinzi, who had mysteriously fallen asleep again on the way back, back to his own room.
That's a pitiful amount of energy.
I only walked for about ten minutes in the sun, but I fell asleep in the car, on the subway, and now I'm home and still sleeping.
After placing the girl on the tatami mat in the living room and helping her take off her shoes, Luo Chen was surprised to find that there was a hole in the sole of Kong Yinzi's black stockings.
"Puch!"
Luo Chen quietly snapped a picture of this embarrassing moment, gently pinching Kong Yinzi's cute toes... Speaking of which, he had just bumped into Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
Perfect timing! The treasure chest he found this morning is still unopened.
It's an epic purple color!
"System, open the treasure chest."
Luo Chen said to himself in a low voice.
Chapter 118 "The Soul of Shogi"
A treasure chest shimmering with purple light flashed past.
It clicks open!
[Ding! Treasure chest successfully opened. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the skill: Soul of Shogi]
[Analysis: When a game of shogi enters a truly intense and agonizing phase, there is a 50% chance of triggering the Shogi Soul. Once triggered, the host's strength increases by 100%, and they will randomly gain incredible shogi skills! (The greater the disadvantage in the situation, the higher the trigger probability.)]
[Note: This skill can also be triggered actively, but it requires rather demanding conditions. It requires at least three female protagonist-level characters from various anime/manga worlds to cheer on the host simultaneously!]
Luo Chen stopped what he was doing.
This skill...
The soul of shogi.
While the passive triggering of the disadvantageous situation in a heated battle is somewhat strange and frustrating, the last comment is quite insightful.
Finding three leading ladies shouldn't be too difficult for him, right?
There are two of them around.
Sora Ginko + Hinatsuru Ai.
Serving him royal meals won't work, Mashiro is a bit simple-minded, but he can always ask his butler, Misaki Ayuzawa.
Even if you have to choose between Sora Ginko and Hinatsuru Ai, you can always find another one.
For example, the student council vice president he just "recruited" last week? The president of the Service Club, the second young lady of the Yukinoshita family?
It could even be Kasumigaoka Utaha or Chitanda Eru, whom she just met.
"So, conceptually it's a passive skill, but in reality, as long as you prepare more and practice more before each battle, it can be directly transformed into an active skill."
"I just don't know how strong I will become after the Shogi Soul is triggered. Will I be at the level of Kuzuryu Yaichi, or at the level of other 9A players?"
Luo Chen murmured something.
Suddenly, I realized that there seemed to be an extremely piercing gaze staring at me.
Luo Chen looked down in confusion.
Hmm, Sora Ginko is awake.
"You're awake. 々".
Luo Chen smiled and said.
"Henti~!"
Kong Yinzi's expression was complicated, and her azure eyes held a hint of coldness.
Luo Chen: "???"
What the hell? He kindly carried this useless fiancée all the way back, and now he's the one who's acting weird?
Wait, it seems like Sora Ginko's gaze is looking at...
With a swift movement, Luo Chen withdrew his hand, coughed twice, and said, "I was thinking about something just now and unconsciously grabbed your foot. Don't misunderstand."
Kong Yinzi got up from the ground.
After a good half-day of sleep, the energy that had been depleted from walking in the sun had been almost fully restored.
She had even woken up five minutes earlier and had already noticed Luo Chen pinching her little toe.
"It's ok."
Kong Yinzi said this, giving Luo Chen a knowing look, and said calmly, "Just like those guys who always shout 'Queen, trample me' after I win a game... It's a bit surprising, but I can understand..."
"Stop!!"
Luo Chen gritted his teeth and urgently stopped Kong Yinzi.
Who needs this kind of understanding?
"Shut up, I'm really not that kind of person." Luo Chen cursed under his breath, his forehead veins throbbing as he braced himself on the floor.
Kong Yinzi tilted her head and asked, "Do you need me to step on your back?"
Without hesitation, Luo Chen agreed: "That's fine!"
"Ha! Idiot."
Kong Yinzi gave a faint, mocking laugh, then turned and left the room.
Luo Chen realized it too late.
Gan!
