"Remember?" Kong Yinzi said coldly.
"Sorry, sorry, I thought the Dragon King match was postponed like the football game!" Yushan Heren said angrily.
Because Tokyo was too cold, the time and rules of the national competition were adjusted, and Yuyama and Renguang only remembered about the football match.
However, the Dragon King Battle is held indoors after all, so the competition will still be held on the original date.
Kong Ginko called because she was worried that Yushan Kazuto had forgotten the time of the battle with the Dragon King and had stayed in Chiba instead of returning to Tokyo.
Unexpectedly, Yushan Kazuto had already returned to Tokyo, but still forgot about the battle with the Dragon King.
"I'll wait for you downstairs of the apartment building at three in the afternoon." After saying that, Kong Yinzi hung up the phone. Yushan Heren blinked. He hadn't touched shogi for more than ten days, and he didn't know if his level of letting go would become rusty.
I put away my phone and went back to the living room, where I saw Mai Doma lying on the sofa playing the Switch.
During the days when Doma Ohira is not at home, Doma Mai is probably planning to stay at home.
"Scumbag senior, who called you?" asked Tsuchima Mai while playing games.
"The silver was transferred here." Yushanheren said.
"Hey, does Ginko want to talk to you about something?" Domama Mai paused the game, leaned forward, and looked at Yushan Kazuto with some suspicion.
"Why do you care so much?" Yushan Heren blinked and said.
"Ginko is not in good health, and this scumbag senior is so annoying. I have to supervise you to prevent you from making Ginko angry!" said Domama Mai righteously.
Yushan Heren blinked, but still said, "There is a Dragon King Tournament today, so Yinzi called and asked me to go to the chess academy with her in the afternoon."
"Dragon King Battle? Is it a shogi game?" Tsuchima Mai asked involuntarily.
Although she studied shogi with Shirasaki Hana for a period of time, in the end, Doma Mai recognized her own talent and gave up her dream of becoming a professional player.
Doma Yui only had a vague impression of these shogi competitions and didn't know much about them.
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto responded.
"Mayuma-kun wants to go too!" Mayuma-kun stood up suddenly.
"You're following you too?" Yushan Kazuto looked at Domama with some suspicion, "Do you understand?"
"It doesn't matter if they can't understand it." Doma puffed up his cheeks, "I heard from Ginko that no one can understand your chess!"
Yushan Kazuto blinked, it seemed to be true.
Anyway, no one can understand it, everyone is just watching for fun, and even Doma Yui can be appreciated.
"Then I'll take you there. However, today is the New Year's opening match, and there's a lot of preparation to do. I think you'll be a bit bored staying in the chess academy."
Yushan Kazuto shrugged and informed them in advance.
If it is a normal game, you can just arrive before the game starts, but today is the new year's opening game, so you must arrive at the chess academy a few hours in advance.
Tsuchima blinked, checked the power level of the switch, and quickly plugged it in.
During the boring wait, she planned to rely on the switch.
"Aren't you worried that Yin Zi will see you playing games?" Yushan Heren blinked.
"Ginko is so busy, he probably won't notice me." Domama said directly.
Yushan Kazuto thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with what Doma Mai said. As the first female professional player in the shogi world and also someone who possessed a second-to-none appearance, Sora Ginko must have been extremely busy in today's opening match.
After looking at Tsuchima Yui, Yushan Kazuto stretched his body a little and walked into the kitchen.
……
"Kouma-kun, are you going to the chess academy too?" Seeing Doma Mei coming down with Yushan and others, Kong Ginko couldn't help but ask.
"Well, it's a bit boring staying at home, so I plan to go to the chess academy with you." said Doma Mai with a smile.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Tsuchiya Mai. She was well aware of Tsuchiya Mai's chess skills. Going to the chess academy could only be for fun, but she didn't say anything.
"lets go."
……
Arriving at the chess academy, Tsuchima suddenly remembered something: "Senior Kazuto, will Xiao Ai come to watch your game?"
Yushan Kazuto scratched his head: “Probably not, Hekura is quite far from Tokyo, and the weather is bad, it’s too hard to come here.
"
"Is that so?" Doma Mei nodded and followed Yushan Kazuto and Sora Ginko into the chess academy.
……
"Komari, please sit here for a while. Kazuto, come with me." Kong Ginko said in the waiting room.
Tsuchima nodded, Yushan Kazuto waved to Tsuchima, and followed Sora Ginko towards the locker room.
"Yin Zi, the women's locker room is in front. It would not be appropriate for me to go in."
At the door of the women's locker room, Yushan Kazuto stopped.
"Did you bring formal attire for today's opening match?" Kong Yinzi asked after looking at the paper bag carried by Yushan Heren.
"Yes, I brought it." Yushan Heren opened the paper bag, and inside was the dress that Conte designed for him.
"It's just a Western-style dress, not Japanese, is it okay?" asked Yushan Kazuto.
Kong Yinzi shook his head.
Although she always wears Japanese-style kimono, in fact, a higher proportion of chess players wear Western suits.
Although a dress is not formal wear in the strict sense, there is no big problem in wearing it.
"Put this set of clothes in the men's locker room. I will call you when I need you to change clothes and go out." Kong Yinzi said.
"Oh." Yushan Kazuto blinked, put his clothes away, and returned to the waiting room.
Kong Yinzi walked straight into the women's locker room, and her work was about to begin.
"Scumbag senior, why are you back? Didn't Ginko come back with you?" Looking at Yushan Kazuto who was walking in front of her, Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but ask.
"Yinzi went to work. I'm waiting for news from Yinzi." Yushan and others sat on the chair.
Chapter 797: Opponent
Hey, scumbag senior, have you been excluded? You don't even have to show up." Domama looked at Yushan Kazuto and couldn't help laughing.
"What do you know about being excluded?" Yushan Heren blinked, "The real big shots always make their final appearance, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, yes, a big shot at the fourth level of his profession." Tsuchimatsu said perfunctorily.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "So what if I'm a 4th dan? Look at those professional 8th and 9th dan players. Can they beat me?"
"Boasting." Domamai muttered to herself.
Yushan Heren blinked. In fact, he was not bragging. Those professional 8th and 9th dan players were no match for him.
However, as soon as I saw Doma Yui, I knew that she didn't know much about shogi. She was still simply at the level of comparing the size of the pieces and believed that the fifth dan must be stronger than the fourth dan. So Yushan Kazuto was too lazy to explain so much.
[Is the scumbag senior speechless because of my words? 】
Looking at Yushan Kazuto leaning on the chair, looking a bit like Ge You, Doma Mai suddenly felt a little guilty.
"Scumbag senior, do you want to play games?" asked Tsuchima Mai.
"What game?" Yushan Kazuto blinked.
"Look." Doma Mai placed the switch in front of Yushan Kazuto.
Yui Doma was playing "Super Smash Bros.", a game she bought with great determination.
Although she won this switch, she still had to buy the games herself. She bought it because she gritted her teeth and wanted to try Nintendo's fighting games.
"How can we play with just one controller?" Yushan Heren said with a blink of his eyes.
"The joy-con controllers can be removed!" Doma Mai took off the two controllers and gave one to Yushan Kazuto.
Looking at the small handle in his hand, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink. Is it just such a small thing to operate?
However, looking at the small screen of the switch, Yushan Kazuto felt relieved.
The mini handle and mini screen are perfect!
"You scumbag senior can't cheat this time. I'll give you at most thirty seconds to adapt." Domama said, looking at Yushan Kazuto.
"Yeah." Yushan Heren agreed and rubbed the handle.
……
In the beginning, they lost more than they won. Firstly, they had too little time to adapt, and secondly, Yushan Kazuto was not clear about the move list.
However, after a few battles and adaptation, Yushan Heren's advantages in extraordinary observation and calculation ability became apparent.
Doma Yui couldn't even touch Hayama Kazuto.
You know, in the field of fighting games, Tsuchima Yui can be considered an absolute god-level player, but she didn't even have the chance to deal damage.
Only when Yushan Kazuto deliberately let go could Doma Yui touch Yushan Kazuto's figure, and then be ruthlessly knocked away.
"Beep, beep, beep", Yushan Kazuto's cell phone suddenly rang. Yushan Kazuto held the handle with one hand and took out the cell phone with his right hand.
"Do you want to change now? Change and go to the hall, right? I get it, I get it, see you later!"
Looking back, it turned out that Doma Yui's character had been knocked away by Yushan Kazuto. He just pressed a few times with his left hand and actually defeated Doma Yui.
"Um... I'm sorry, Komari-chan, I accidentally knocked you away." Yushan Kazuto said somewhat embarrassedly.
Tsuchima Mai looked at Yushan Kazuto with some resentment and said, "Scumbag senior, if you make a mistake in chess later, don't blame Koumaro for dragging you to play games."
"No, I'll leave first. You wait here for a while, I'll come over for dinner." Yushan Heren said.
Tsuchimiya nodded.
……
They quickly rushed to the men's locker room, changed into their formal attire, and headed towards the hall.
No one helped Yushan Kazuto to do his hair today, but just an ordinary hairstyle was already handsome enough.
Watching Yushan Kazuto walk into the back of the hall, Kong Yinzi almost didn't recognize Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Heren waved to Kong Yinzi, and Kong Yinzi finally reacted, with a dazed expression.
"Why are you so late?" Kong Yin Zi said somewhat dissatisfiedly.
"Sorry, I was a little lost before...it's my first time coming from the locker room." Yushan Kazuto said unhappily.
"Speaking of which, Yin Zi, what do you want to talk to me about now?"
"It's soon time for you to attend the press conference." Kong Yinzi whispered in Yushan Kazuto's ear.
"Do you have a speech?" Yushan Heren blinked and asked.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and she knew that Yushan Heren would not prepare such a thing, so she took out a piece of paper.
The paper was not big, with only about 500 to 600 words on it. Kong Yinzi said, "Practice more and try to memorize the speech before you attend the meeting."
Yushan Heren just glanced at it and put it in his pocket.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren coldly and said, "Didn't I tell you to practice?"
"I have memorized it." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
"He memorized it?" Kong Yinzi was very skeptical, but since Yushan and others said he had memorized it, she just assumed that he had memorized it.
Even if he forgets some words when attending the meeting, he has the original speech to remind him, right?
"Omoide 8th dan, Yushan 4th dan, please take channel 2 and go to the lobby to attend the press conference."
Upon hearing this, Yushan Kazuto looked around.
, Channel No. 2 seemed to be the direction he came from.
"Go this way." Kong Yin Zi whispered.
"The chess player you are playing against this time is called 'Killing Arhat'. His chess layout is very solid, but his killing ability is also extremely strong. You need to be careful."
Yushan Kazuto looked around and saw a middle-aged man in a suit was also looking at him. Yushan Kazuto knew that the man should be Okitera Tenichi.
"I understand, Yin Zi, I'll go to the press conference first." Yushan Heren said.
"Yeah." Kong Yinzi replied.
