……
"Brother Kazuto, I want to take Xiaoxue with me, is that okay?" Shirosaki Hana asked while holding Xiaoxue.
"I guess...it's not possible." Yushan Kazuto blinked.
Even if the Japan Shogi Association allows pets to be brought to Saitama, but if you take Xiaoyuki with you, Xiaohua, then Yukinoshita Yukino's trip here will be in vain, right?
"No? All right then." Shirosakihua put Xiaoxue down, "Be good, Xiaoxue. When we get back, I'll feed you canned cat food."
Xiaoxue walked to the sofa with a cat-like step, jumped onto the sofa, found a comfortable position and lay down.
"Got it, got it. I'm already in the elevator and will be right down."
In the elevator, Kong Yinzi called to urge them. She had been waiting downstairs for a long time and was getting a little impatient.
The chess institute's bus leaves for Saitama at 9 o'clock on time. If you miss the time, you will have to go there by yourself.
……
"Really? You have no sense of time at all." Kong Yinzi said after hanging up the phone.
Yukinoshita Yukino had just arrived and got out of the car, and just happened to see Sora Ginko.
"Yukinoshita Yukino?" Sora Ginko was a little surprised to see her.
[Is she going to Saitama too? ]
"Kong Ginko, aren't you going upstairs?" Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Kong Ginko.
"I'm waiting for He Ren. We are about to set off, but he is still dawdling." Kong Yin Zi said.
"Are you going on a long journey?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.
"I'm going to Saitama." replied Sora Ginko.
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked her eyes slightly, a trace of disappointment flashed across her expression. Seeing Sora Ginko's gaze coming over, she quickly looked away, and was about to ask another question, but Yushan Kazuto had already walked out of the apartment.
"Ginko." Yushan Kazuto waved to Sora Ginko, then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino: "You're here, Yukinoshita."
Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly, and Sora Ginko snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Ginko-sister." Shirosaki Hana called out sweetly, then turned to Yukinoshita Yukino and called out timidly, "Yukinoshita-sister."
"Hurry up, or you'll miss the bus." Kong Yinzi urged.
"The key is still in the old place, Yukinoshita, you go up by yourself." Yushan and others followed Kong Ginko to the side of the road, and an empty taxi just happened to pass by.
Yukinoshita Yukino originally wanted to ask the driver to take them there, but for some reason, the words could not come out of her mouth. She could only walk into the apartment alone, feeling a little sad, but still holding her head high.
……
"Why is it so slow?" Kong Yinzi couldn't help but ask after sitting in the car.
"Brother helped Sister Sagiri prepare lunch, it took some time." Before Yushan Kazuto spoke, Shirosaki Hana said.
Kong Yinzi was a little angry at first, but she felt relieved after hearing this explanation, though her tone was still a little awkward:
"I informed you yesterday, why didn't you prepare lunch for her earlier."
"I didn't know we were going to Saitama yesterday." Yushan Kazuto blinked and said.
Seeing Kong Yinzi's angry expression, Yushan Heren had no choice but to turn his head away and said, "Driver, please drive faster."
Chapter 339: Encounter with Lolita Trio
[Why did the Lolita trio also go to Saitama? 】
Looking at Charlotte, Mio Mizukoshi and Ayano Sadato sitting at the back of the bus, Kazuto Yuyama felt a headache. He and the trio of lolita were not on very friendly terms. When their eyes met, both of them had awkwardness on their faces.
What was even more embarrassing was that there were not many seats left on the bus, so Yushan and the other two could only sit in front of the loli trio.
"It's the Demon Lord." Mizukoshi Mio said uneasily as she watched Yushan and the other two approaching.
"And there's Snow White of Naniwa," said Sadano Ayano.
"There is also a pretty young lady." Charlotte's voice was childish, and the young lady she was talking about was naturally Shirasaki Hana.
"Sadato-san, Mizukoshi-san." Shirosaki Hana looked at her two classmates and greeted them in a calm tone.
"Shirosaki-san, what a coincidence." Sadato Ayano said with a smile, but it was a very forced smile.
"Shirosaki-san, are you going to Saitama too?" Mizukoshi Mio reacted and said quickly.
"Well, I'm going to Saitama with Brother Kazuto." Shirosaki Hana nodded and said.
"Xiaohua, please sit in the innermost seat." Yushanheren said.
Shirosaki Hana responded and walked to the window seat and sat down, Yushan and others sat in the middle, and Sora Ginko sat next to the aisle.
"Mr. Demon Lord." Charlotte murmured.
……
Saitama, like Chiba, is a neighboring prefecture of Tokyo. The bus speed is slightly slower than that of the JR Takasaki Line, but it only takes 50 minutes to reach Saitama.
The bus stopped in front of the Saitama Chess Institute.
The Saitama Ki-in is not grand and seems a little shabby compared to large Ki-in institutions such as the Japan Ki-in and the Kansai Ki-in.
After getting off the car, the others walked towards the Saitama Chess Institute, but Kong Ginko called out to Yushan Kazuto: "Follow me."
……
"Ayano, did you notice?" In the chess academy, Mizukoshi Mio suddenly asked out of the blue.
"What did you find?" Sadano Ayano felt a little strange.
"The Demon Lord, the Demon Lord is missing." Charlotte looked around blankly. She searched for a long time but couldn't find Yushan and others.
"Hmm? It seems so. Naniwa's Snow White and Shirasaki-san are not here either." said Sadano Ayano.
"Where did they go?" Mizukoshi Mio pondered.
……
"Sister Ginko, where are we going?" Shirosaki Hana asked while walking on the road.
"It's in the parking lot in front. Miss Oga's car is already parked inside." Kong Ginko pointed to the open-air parking lot in front.
"What's so mysterious? It's like a spy operation." Yushan Heren asked, scratching his head.
"Master said to take us to visit someone." Kong Yinzi thought about it and said it.
"An acquaintance of President Moonlight?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"Yeah." Kong Yinzi nodded.
[As for Saitama Prefecture...it must be that person, no doubt about it.]
"Visiting an uncle, I wouldn't have come if I had known." Yushan Heren blinked and said. If nothing unexpected happened, the acquaintance in Moonlight Saint City should be about the same age as him.
Although Moonlight Seiichi looks young, he is actually older than Kiyotaki Kosuke. It's just that Kiyotaki Kosuke looks a little anxious, and he looks like Moonlight Seiichi's uncle.
Sora Ginko looked at Hayama Kazuto with dissatisfaction. The one from Saitama Prefecture was a well-known figure in the entire shogi world, but Hayama Kazuto had never heard of him and even teased him as an uncle.
"Brother Kazuto, the uncle you are talking about may be the most legendary figure in the shogi world - Hanyu Sanye." Shirasaki Hana suddenly said.
"Hey, Xiaohua, how do you know all this?" asked Yushan Heren.
Shirasaki Hana did not answer. Ever since she found out that Hayama Kazuto started playing shogi, Shirasaki Hana has read a lot of news and learned a lot about shogi, but she has never played shogi before.
In terms of familiarity with the shogi world, Kazuto Hayama may not be as good as Hana Shirasaki.
……
"President Moonlight, the person we are going to visit, is he Yuzan Yamaye?" Yuzan Kazuto asked as soon as he got in the car.
"You also know Hanyu Sanye?" Moonlight Seiichi smiled, "I thought you knew nothing about the common sense of the shogi world."
Yushan Kazuto smiled awkwardly. It was not the first time he heard the name Hanyu Sanye, but he always thought that Hanyu Sanye was a Go player.
"Yamanashi's hometown is in Saitama. I want you to fight him. What do you think?" asked Moonlight Shengshi.
"It doesn't matter..." Yushanheren spread his hands, "But we have to travel such a long distance just to play a game of chess? We might as well play online."
"Shan Ye has been honing his chess skills recently and has rarely made any moves. He didn't even sign up for the Dragon King Tournament this time. If I don't come to his house, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch him."
……
"We're here. This is Shan Ye's home."
Moonlight Shengshi got out of the car. He seemed to be very familiar with the place. He walked steadily without anyone's support. Yushan and a few others had no choice but to follow him.
"Please help me press the button for the fourteenth floor."
Only at times like this would people recall that Moonlight Holy City was a blind man, and before that Moonlight Holy City looked like a normal person.
……
"Holy City." As soon as I went upstairs, Yuzuru Sanye had already opened the door. He looked at the moonlight Holy City and smiled.
"Shan Ye, long time no see." Moonlight Holy City greeted him.
"Yeah, it's been a long time since we last met. It's been decades, I guess." said Hanyu Sanye.
[After not seeing this place for decades, how can you still feel so familiar with it? ]
Hayama Kazuto blinked.
"Shan Ye, you don't have the talent to be a comedian. You should understand that." Moonlight Shengshi said slowly.
"Hahaha, just a joke, just a joke. Isn't it funny?" Hanyu Sanye laughed.
Yushan and the others only realized that Hanyu Sanye was actually telling a cold joke, and they immediately felt a chill.
[I don’t know if it’s funny, but it’s really cold. 】
As if realizing that he really had no talent for comedy, Hanyu Sanye made way for him and said, "Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."
Yushan Kazuto walked in with Shirasaki Hana, and Sora Ginko followed behind.
"President Gekko, I'll wait for you at the door." said Oga Sasori.
"Ms. Oga, you can go in too." Gekkou Seiichi smiled and walked in as well. Oga Sasori stood at the door with no intention of going in.
Hanyu Sanye had no choice but to walk into the house by himself without closing the door.
……
"What happened today that requires you, President, to come to my humble home in person?" Hanyu Sanye asked after making tea for them.
"Can't I just come to see you?" Moonlight Saint City smiled.
"I think I'm not that charming yet. If I were younger, I might have been."
“Don’t fantasize. It wasn’t possible for you when you were young.” Moonlight Shengshi picked up the teacup.
"This time, I came here mainly to have you play a game of shogi with him, and discuss new shogi tactics."

Chapter 340: Demon Lord VS Chess Master?
Moonlight Holy City pointed at Yushan Heren, who felt a little strange. How did Moonlight Holy City know his location?
"This one? He must be the newly promoted professional chess player... Kazuto Yuyama." Yuzan said, touching his chin.
"Yes, I'm Kazuto Yuyama." Kazuto Yuyama nodded.
"I do know another one, Shirayuki-hime of Naniwa, the first female professional chess player in history, Sora Ginko."
Sora Ginko is an idol in the shogi world, and even Hanyu Sanye is very familiar with her.
"Hello, Mr. Hanyu Sanye." Kong Yinzi said a little nervously.
"I remember that your two chess moves are sometimes similar. Is that the new tactic that Sheng Shi mentioned?" asked Hanyu Shanye.
"Well, I heard from Yin Zi that that kind of fighting method was invented by Yu Shan and is called Dragon Slaying Encirclement."
"Dragon Slaying Wei." Hanyu Shanye lowered his head in thought, "This name should be a reference to the story of slaying a dragon in Go, but judging from the performance, it is just right."
Although Hanyu Sanye seldom goes out to play chess these days, it does not mean that he is working behind closed doors. He will write down many wonderful games and then slowly ponder the mysteries of the game.
"If you want to play chess, let's go to the chess academy later. I want to see the secrets of the Dragon Slaying Technique first. Can you, chess master Kong Yinzi, show me?"
