"Huh? Do you want me to wake you up?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink and said.
"Don't we usually use this method to wake up Koumaro?" said Doma Mai confidently.
"Then you have to be careful, I might wake you up at 7:30!" Yushan Heren smiled and said.
"Ah, this won't do!" After hearing what Yushan Kazuto said, Tsuchimiya's expression suddenly turned into a bitter one.
She didn't expect that Yushan Heren actually had this trick.
"Okay, just don't dawdle when I call you tomorrow morning. There's nothing much to see if you get up at 7:30 in the morning." Yushan Heren said.
In the morning, apart from some 24-hour shops, there are not many shops open for business.
Yushan Kazuto woke up Tsuchima Umi early in the morning, and the two could only stand in front of the store that had not yet opened and stare at each other.
"I know, I know." Upon hearing that, Tsuchima could only purse her lips.
Yushan Heren smiled and stretched lazily: "I'm going to take a shower first. You've been at home for so long and you didn't take a shower earlier."
"Hmph, it's not very late now." After looking at Yushan and Ren, Tsuchima couldn't help but snorted.
"You said before that I went home too late, but now you say it's not that late. So was it late or not for me to go home?" Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
"Then...how can it be the same? The scumbag senior finished playing chess a long time ago, but he hasn't returned home yet!" Tsuchima Mai quickly retorted, but her voice sounded a little weak.
"Forget it, just take a shower and go to bed early."
After looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto wanted to say something to her, but when the words came to his lips, he took them back.
Doma Yui has her own flexible standards for everything, and Yushan Kazuto has no way of convincing her.
On the other hand, Tsuchima pouted. She had considered taking a shower early, but she was worried that if she took a shower, she would miss the time when Yushan and others returned home.
, I just kept waiting, and I didn’t expect that I would wait until after nine o’clock.
Clearly, Yushan had finished playing chess with someone before seven o'clock, but he didn't get home until after nine!
Doma Mai secretly made up her mind that if Yushan went to the chess academy to play chess with others, she would follow him no matter what.
……
"It's about time to go back." After drinking his tea, Nibutani's father looked at the chessboard again before speaking.
"Well, it's getting late." On the other side, Jia Yueao Dacheng also spoke.
The group had been sitting in the Byodoin Tea House for nearly three hours, almost catching up with the time they spent in the tea house reviewing their experiences when they were young.
The good thing about the Byodoin Tea House is that once you order tea, no one will say anything no matter how long you sit there.
Even if you just order a glass of water and sit there for a whole day, there is no problem. The tea room even provides chargers and free wifi for use.
The tea room never pursues a turnover rate, and therefore, it has become a favorite of chess players.
After all, reviewing a game of chess takes at least one or two hours. If it takes more, you may discuss it for a whole day and night without any result.
Because of this good thing, Byodoin Tea House defeated several other tea houses near the chess institute and became the dominant one when it was first established.
In fact, the chess players did not intend to take advantage of the Byodoin Tea House. It was mainly because they forgot about time when they started studying.
After the review, the players came back to their senses and most of them would order another cup of tea or some snacks as compensation for the tea room.
After all, professional shogi players, although not all of them live a very comfortable life, they still have enough spare money to have a few cups of tea.
Chapter 2303 Alienation and Keeping Distance
"Byōdōin boy, please check out." As they walked to the front desk, Nibutani's father took the initiative to speak.
"The total is 3,600 yen." The thin man said with a smile.
Although Nibutani's father's words sounded a little impolite, the thin man could tell that there was a sense of care and concern from an elder for a younger generation in the other party's tone.
Upon hearing the price, Nibutani's father didn't feel anything unusual. After all, he hadn't been to the Byodoin Tea House for several years and was not sensitive to the price of the tea house.
On the other side, Jia Yueao Dacheng couldn't help but feel something strange after hearing it.
He was a frequent visitor to the teahouse and was familiar with the prices of various teas: "Autumn is coming, so the price of tea has dropped?"
On the other side, the thin man shook his head.
On the other side, Nibutani's father, who was about to pay, also stopped and couldn't help but look at the thin man and Jiayue Ao Daisei.
"A cup of apricot and pear tea and a pot of osmanthus Longjing tea cost 3,600 yen already. What's the price of another cup of Uji?" Jia Yueao Dacheng blinked slightly and asked.
On the other side, Nibutani's father couldn't help but blink slightly, and a strange look appeared on his face.
"He has already paid for the cup of Uji tea for Yushan Ryuoh himself." The thin man said very calmly.
"I didn't see him stop at the front desk when he left. How did he pay for the tea?" Nibutani's father asked with a strange look on his face.
"Yushan Dragon King has savings in our store, and he just paid the bill when he left." said the thin man.
Upon hearing this, Nibutani's father and Kayotani Daisaku fell into deep thought. It seemed that Yushan Kazuto had made a gesture or sent a secret signal to the other party in a place they couldn't see.
[He paid for himself when he left, but he didn't pay for me and Dacheng.]
Nibutani's father couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After so many years of work experience, he had seen many people who took the initiative to pay the bill during social events.
These people either wanted to save face or had something to ask for. Even Danbutani's father himself had taken the initiative to pay the bill many times for some reasons.
However, if he wanted to save face, Yushan Kazuto should have paid for everyone.
Similarly, it is unlikely that you would ask for help when you need it. Who would only pay for themselves when asking for help?
And now, it is obvious that I asked Yushan and others to help explain the chess. If there is something they want to ask for, it should be me who asks Yushan and others for help.
After thinking about it, Nibutani's father could only think of one possibility - Yushan Kazuto was sending a signal of "estrangement".
Sometimes, when a client has something to ask of him but the client is not convenient for him to do so, Nibutani's father would choose to pay the bill secretly, which is equivalent to an invisible refusal.
[No, if you want to distance yourself from each other, you don’t need to be so secretive.]
If it weren't for Jia Yue Ou Daisei being next to him, Nibutani's father wouldn't even have noticed that Yushan Kazuto paid for his bill.
[Perhaps, Brother Yushan just wanted to send a signal... to keep his distance. ]
After thinking about it, Nibutani's father felt that this situation was the most likely.
If Yushan Heren really wanted to distance himself from us, I would probably have hit a wall when I went to talk to him.
Although my daughter knows Yushan Kazuto, it can be seen that they are just nodding acquaintances.
Not to mention Jia Yueao Dacheng, strictly speaking, the other party has a grudge against the Qingtaki family.
Although both parties no longer care about it now, the two families are definitely not close.
[The reason why Brother Yushan paid for it himself was mainly because he hoped that I would bother him less in the future. ]
Nibutani's father felt a little ashamed. He had indeed delayed Yushan and others for a lot of time today. Even after the chess talk was over, Kong Ginko was already standing at the door of the tea room waiting. Because he was listening to the chess talk so attentively, he didn't know how long Kong Ginko had been waiting at the door.
Therefore, it is indeed normal for Yushan and others to want to keep their distance.
After all, there is nothing good for him to gain from coming here to teach chess. You know, Jia Yu'ao Dacheng can get tuition fees for teaching chess to students!
The chess academy invited Jia Yueao Dacheng to give a chess lecture, and they also had to pay him an appearance fee.
And Hayama Kazuto, the holder of the title of Dragon King and a new generation shogi supernova, came to talk about shogi for nearly two hours, but in the end he only got a cup of tea.
If it were Nibutani's father himself, he probably wouldn't be happy either.
When he was still in the chess academy, some chess players would come to him for help in explaining the game. In addition to the tea paid by the other party, Nibutani's father also charged them for three midnight snacks.
In addition, Kazuto Hayama needs to balance shogi and studies, so he must be quite busy.
Calling him over like this has wasted so much time, and he may have to stay up late to study after returning home!
However, Nibutani's father was overthinking this. The reason why Yushan and Ren wanted to keep their distance was indeed because they did not want to waste extra time. However, Yushan and Ren did not need to stay up late when they returned home.
[From now on... I'd better stop bothering Brother Yushan. 】
Taking a deep breath, Nibutani's father couldn't help but shook his head.
After meeting Yushan Heren, I was so excited that I didn't even notice the other party's attitude. It was really a mistake.
[However, Yushan Kazuto is a very well-mannered young man. Although he is dissatisfied, he does not show it.]
[Also, I'm so busy with work, I actually want to disturb Yushan Xiao
Brother, I don’t have that much time. 】
After thinking about it, Nibutani's father couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. He was a little conflicted about whether he should treat Yushan and others to a big meal as an apology.
However, inviting Yushanheren to a big meal would also disturb Yushanheren, and this created an irreconcilable contradiction between the two.
Turning around, he glanced at Nibutani Morika, and saw that the other person's expression was also a little nervous.
Yushan Kazuto actually paid for himself, which was something that Nibutani Morika had not expected.
[Is Kazuto-senpai very unhappy with today's conversation? Or is there another reason? ]
Nibutani Morika still remembers that when they arrived at the tea room and Yushan Kazuto was about to start explaining chess, her father stared at the chessboard and fell into deep thought.
Finally, after more than a quarter of an hour, the other party came to his senses, and Yushan Kazuto was able to start talking about chess.
He invited the other party respectfully, but when the other party was about to start talking about chess, he suddenly lost his concentration.
Nibutani Morika felt that if she put herself in the other person's shoes, she would probably not be satisfied either.
"Uncle Nibutani, don't mind it. Dragon King Yushan didn't have any dissatisfaction when he left." The thin man on the other side spoke.
"That's right. With Brother Yushan Kazuto's temperament, he shouldn't mind." Upon hearing this, Danbutani's father couldn't help but smile.
"Let's pay the bill first."
Chapter 2304: Regretful Kong Yinzi
"Scumbag senior." After breakfast, sitting on the sofa, Doma Mai looked unhappy.
"What's wrong?" Looking up and glancing at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but ask.
"You, don't you remember that you were going to take Yume-chan out shopping today... Did you prepare birthday presents for Senior Kei and Asuna?" Tsuchima Mai pouted slightly and couldn't help but ask.
She originally wanted to say shopping, but when the words were on the tip of her tongue, Tsuchiya quickly reacted and changed her words.
"Of course I remember. Do you think my memory is as bad as yours?" Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"Then why don't we set off yet?" Upon hearing this, Tsuchima couldn't help but pout.
It has been more than half an hour since I got up and had breakfast, but Yushan Kazuto still shows no sign of getting ready to go out.
"Wait a moment." Upon hearing this, Yushan Heren couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Tsuchiya's little mouth pouted even higher. If she had known that Yushan and Ren would not set out after getting up, she would have simply slept in.
After looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto felt a little embarrassed. Originally, Yushan Kazuto had planned to set off after breakfast.
However, last night, Kong Yinzi sent a message asking if Yushan Kazuto had any plans for today. If not, she wanted to invite Yushan Kazuto to come over and review yesterday's shogi game.
During this period, using the software provided by Yushan Kazuto, Kong Yinzi's chess skills have indeed improved significantly, but it feels a bit like she is working in isolation.
It was not until yesterday's game that Kong Yinzi applied what he had understood during this period to actual combat, and was able to defeat his opponent more easily.
However, when she returned home and reviewed the situation, Kong Yinzi felt something strange.
Although she had memorized some chess moves and could use them flexibly, she still had difficulty understanding them.
Before, Kong Yinzi usually would not disturb Yushan Heren. However, when she saw Yushan Heren explaining chess to the Nibutani family at night, Kong Yinzi couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, so she sent a message to Yushan Heren in a huff.
Looking at the message sent by Kong Yinzi, Yushan Heren was stunned for a moment.
But he had already promised Tsuchima that he would take her out to buy gifts on Sunday, so he had no choice but to refuse and explained the reason.
What Yushan Kazuto didn't expect was that after the message was sent, Kong Yinzi actually sent another message, saying that she wanted to go shopping with Yushan Kazuto.
Sora Ginko did have the idea of buying gifts, but not for Kato Megumi and Yuuki Asuna, but for Kato Megumi and Tsuchima Yui.
Sora Ginko is not familiar with Yuuki Asuna, but Kato Megumi and Tsuchima Mai are closer to her.
After all, the three of them lived not far from each other, and they all had a good relationship with Yushan Kazuto. As a result, Kato Megumi and Tsuchima Yui could be regarded as one of the few friends of Sora Ginko.
On the last birthday, Yushan Kazuto thought that Sora Ginko did not invite Kato Megumi, but in fact she had sent a message to Kato Megumi.
It’s just that Kato Megumi doesn’t have much free time. It’s the season change period and Kato Hiromi’s studio is particularly busy.
Kato Megumi has to study and take care of work in the studio, so she has no time to attend Sora Ginko's birthday party.
