In the apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino was already lying on the bed.
The book she brought home today was a bit boring. After reading it for a while, she lost interest and just lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
Her mind is full of kittens. When Yukinoshita Yukino can't sleep, she likes to count cats to hypnotize herself.
【Five hundred sixty-seven, five hundred sixty-eight, five hundred sixty-nine.】
I have to say that this method is quite effective for Yukinoshita Yukino. As she counted, her brain became dizzy and she felt sleepy.
Suddenly, the kitten that flashed through her mind turned into a chubby panda, and Yukinoshita Yukino's sleepiness was immediately gone, and her eyes opened.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated a few times. Yukinoshita Yukino felt a little unhappy. She was about to fall asleep, but was woken up by the notification sound of the cell phone.
But even though she was unhappy, she still picked up her phone. She usually went to bed a little later than now, so this was still within her normal schedule.
"Come over this Saturday, and we'll go to Ueno Zoo and enjoy the pandas making snowmen."
Along with the message was a link, which was the announcement from Ueno Zoo.
Yukinoshita Yukino blinked her beautiful eyes, looking a little surprised that Yushan Kazuto would actually take the initiative to send her a message and invite her to go out, and it was to her favorite panda show.
A hint of blush flashed across her snow-white cheeks. Even though it was a winter night, Yukinoshita Yukino could feel that her cheeks were a little hot.
"have you slept?"
Seeing that Yukinoshita Yukino didn't reply for a few minutes, Yushan Kazuto sent another message.
"It's okay to reply to me tomorrow morning."
Yukinoshita Yukino quickly replied: "I'll come early on Saturday morning."
"Well, that's decided. Go to bed early, good night." Yushan Kazuto replied quickly.
"Good night."
After replying to the message, Yukinoshita Yukino threw her phone next to the pillow and lay down on the bed, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
[Are there any panda shows at Ueno Zoo? ]
[I didn't expect that he would remember all this. ]
[The panda house is always crowded on weekdays, and it will definitely be even more crowded on Saturday. ]
[However, on Sunday, it should be several times more crowded than on Saturday. ]
[Is this the reason for choosing Saturday? Or is there another reason?]
[No matter what, I must...watch it for a little longer this time.]
……
"Umaru-chan, I'm going to Ueno Zoo to see the pandas on Saturday. Do you want to come with me?" In the game, Yushan Kazuto said while dealing with the boss.
"Saturday? Go, go ahead." Doma Mai was a little stunned. She didn't expect that Yuyama Kazuto suddenly mentioned the trip. She was distracted and almost hit by the boss. Fortunately, Yuuki Asuna pulled her away in time.
"Thank you, Asuna." Tsuchima said with lingering fear.
She glanced at Yushan Heren with some resentment.
[Scumbag senior, suddenly saying this kind of thing distracts Komaro. ]
Yuuki Asuna smiled and shook her head: "Kazuto-senpai, can I go to Ueno Zoo with you on Saturday?"
Chapter 476: Chess Meets Silver
"Hey, Asuna, do you want to go too?" Yuyama Kazuto looked at Yuuki Asuna, feeling a little surprised.
"Is it okay?" asked Yuuki Asuna.
"There are a lot of people here." Yushan Kazuto blinked, not wanting Yuuki Asuna to show up in public.
It's not the so-called possessiveness or something like that, mainly because there were many people at the Ueno Zoo during the panda show, and if Yuuki Asuna was seen by Nobuyuki Sugo's people, things would become complicated.
"Of course, it would be so much fun to go to the panda show together. Kazuto-senpai, why don't you want Asuna to go with us?"
Doma Mai looked at Hayama Kazuto with deep suspicion in her eyes.
"I know what senior Kazuto is concerned about, but don't worry, senior Kazuto, I will take care of it." Yuuki Asuna said with a smile.
"Then let's go together. I'll pick you up early in the morning. Remember to go to bed early and get up early." Yushan Heren nodded and said.
Yuuki Asuna is now temporarily living in her original apartment, but Kato Megumi, Yukinoshita Yukino and others all know the location of the apartment. If they were to discover that there was an extra Yuuki Asuna in the original apartment, who knows what would happen.
Listening to the conversation between the two, the suspicion in Tsuchima Mai's eyes deepened.
……
All the way back to the guild headquarters, Yuuki Asuna suddenly said, "By the way, Senior Kazuto, it seems that the management time of the Black Iron Palace Key of the Blood Alliance Knights is coming soon."
"Really?" Yushan Heren didn't deliberately remember the time, but after calculating, it seemed to be about the same.
"Let them keep the key for a few more days. We have to make sure that the key is in our hands during the New Year holiday." Yushan Heren said after thinking for a while.
"Okay." Yuuki Asuna nodded and responded, but there was suddenly a hint of loneliness in her words.
During the New Year holiday, Kazuto Yuyama probably won't be online either, but Asuna Yuuki won't be able to go home either, so she'll probably have to spend a lonely New Year alone.
"I'll come pick you up around 5:30 the day after tomorrow morning," Yushan Heren said.
The morning exercise time is six o'clock. I picked up Yuuki Asuna at half past five and came back just in time for warm-up. The plan went well.
"Why so early?" Tsuchima was a little puzzled.
"Because I'm very busy, I'm only free in the morning." Yushan Heren shrugged and said.
"Then, why can't we take Asuna with us on the way to Ueno Zoo?" Tsuchima pouted and said.
"The place where I live is completely opposite to the direction of Ueno Zoo. It would be a bit counterproductive to pick me up after we have set off." Yuuki Asuna took the initiative to come to the rescue.
Tsuchiya blinked, didn't ask any more questions, and chose to log off.
"Asuna, bye." Yushan Kazuto waved and quit the game.
……
Friday.
"Hey, are we going to Ueno Zoo tomorrow?" Kato Megumi fell into deep thought.
"What's wrong? Don't you have time?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
"It's a pity that my uncle's family is coming to visit me this weekend, so I can't go out this weekend." Kato Megumi said.
"Is that so? Then you, Hui, won't be able to see the panda making snowman show." Yushan Kazuto said.
"It's a bit of a pity." Kato Megumi seemed a little distressed, but her uncle's family would not arrive in Tokyo until Saturday morning, and she still had to pick them up.
"Kazuto, why didn't you invite me?" Fujinomiya Ningzi on the side suddenly felt a little jealous.
"The weather is too cold. It's not suitable for you to travel, Ningzi." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
"But the temperature today is twelve degrees Celsius."
"It looks like it's going to snow tonight," Yushan Heren said.
"Besides, how can the panda perform the snowman show without snow?"
Fujinomiya Ningzi laughed: "It seems so. It would be great if my body could get better. I wouldn't be so timid when I go out like now."
Yushan Kazuto blinked. He didn't know what disease Fujinomiya Ningzi had, but from Fujinomiya Ningzi's performance, it seemed that she was just a little weak.
"By the way, Hui, is your uncle's family the same cousin you met last time?" Yushan Kazuto suddenly remembered Kato Keiichi and asked.
"No, my uncle only has one cousin." Kato Megumi shook her head and said.
"Is that so?" Yushan Kazuto seemed relieved.
……
Japan Chess Institute.
Although the weather is getting colder, the love of shogi enthusiasts for shogi is getting stronger and stronger. The group stage of the Ryuo Tournament is more than halfway through, and it can be said that it is time for the final fight.
In the preparation room, Yushan Kazuto and Sora Ginko sat together.
"Today, it's a game between you and me." Kong Yin Zi said slowly.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded.
Both of them have excellent records and have not lost a single game in the group stage.
Now, the game between the two chess players who are at the top of the sixth group has attracted countless people's attention.
It was even more eye-catching than the first group's game.
"Unfortunately, there is only one qualifying spot in Group Six." Kong Yinzi bit her lip.
If she was in the fifth, fourth, or even third group, she would be confident of winning first place in the group and qualifying. However, in the sixth group, she knew very well that she would never be able to beat Yushan Kazuto.
"Your chess skills are not yet able to defeat those title holders." Yushan Kazuto said.
His implication was very clear. If Sora Ginko's chess skills could beat those of Meijin, Kuzuryuu Yaichi and others, he wouldn't mind losing to Sora Ginko, but Sora Ginko doesn't have that ability yet.
"I don't need you to give way." Kong Yinzi suddenly raised her head and looked at Yushan and others.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
Kong Yinzi lowered her head quickly again: "No, no, I know what you are thinking."
"Yeah." Yushan Heren responded lightly.
"By the way, you haven't played chess much lately."
After sitting there for a few minutes, Kong Yinzi spoke again.
Yushan Kazuto has indeed rarely played shogi recently. Firstly, he has been busy lately, and secondly, he can no longer find an opponent. He is not a fanatical shogi fan and prefers to entertain himself, so he simply put shogi aside.
"It still rains occasionally." Yushan Heren said unhappily.
It was indeed very "occasionally", only when Hinazuru liked to play chess with him, they might play a few games.
"You are lazy." Kong Yinzi said coldly.
"Not really." Yushan Kazuto shrugged, "You know, I've been busy lately, and I have to take care of Xiaohua and Sagiri."
Sora Ginko glared at Yushan Kazuto unhappily. She didn't expect that Yushan Kazuto would put the blame on Shirasaki Hana and Izumi Sagiri.
"However, although I seldom play chess, my shogi level is still improving steadily." Yushan Heren changed the subject and said.
Kong Yinzi gritted his teeth.
【It’s really annoying. 】
Chapter 477 Director's Bureau
"Have you developed any new tactics?" Standing at the door of the preparation room, Kong Yinzi finally couldn't help but ask.
"New tactics?" Yushan Heren blinked. "Not really, but it is definitely something new."
Kong Yinzi had taken a step and was about to leave the preparation room, but when she heard what Yushan and others said, she stopped.
"Let me take a good look at your progress." Kong Yin Zi said slowly.
"Sure." Yushan Heren tilted his head slightly and smiled.
"Let me see how well you have mastered the Dragon Slaying Technique."
……
“Kazuto-nii, come on!”
Hinazuru Ai shouted loudly as she stepped into the game hall from the preparation room.
Yushan Kazuto looked at Hinazuru Ai with a smile, while Sora Ginko gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction.
With Hinazuru Ai taking the lead, cheers rose and fell.
"Demon Lord, come on!"
"Your Highness Snow White, we support you!"
"If there is no demon lord, the world will be dark forever!"
"First there is destiny, then there is heaven, and Bai Xue is before destiny!"
