Yushan Heren vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched upon some taboo of Kong Yinzi, so he did not ask any further questions.
Although Yushan and others did not say anything, Kong Yinzi had already lost his composure and made several bad moves in a row, which directly ruined his chance of winning.
One hundred and six moves, Yushan Kazuto wins!
"Come again!" Kong Yinzi wanted to continue the game, but Yushan Heren left the room.
"No, you're tired."
"I am not tired!"
"You're upset. There's no need to go down any further." Yushan Heren shook his head.
"Go to hell!" Kong Yinzi cut off the video call.
[What am I doing? Did I make her angry? ]
Yushan Heren lay down on the bed, and the small box in his trouser pocket hurt him a little.
"My train of thought was interrupted by Tomoya Aki, and I even forgot to throw this thing away."
Yushan Heren thought about it, then casually stuffed the small silver box under the pillow and placed it together with Kong Yinzi's folding fan.
I've already bought it, and even though I might not be able to use it after the expiration date, it would still be a pity to just throw it away.
"It's almost ten o'clock, let's take a bath and go to bed early."
……
Kiyotaki's house.
Kong Yinzi sat on the tatami, hugged her knees with her hands, and there was a hint of crystal in her eyes.
Sora Ginko hates the title of Naniwa's Snow White. The title is beautiful and pleasant to the ear, but to Sora Ginko, it sounds like a mockery.
Born in Naniwa District, Osaka City, Sora Ginko has loved shogi since she was a child. She could memorize the rules of shogi at the age of two. When she was four, she lost to Kiyotaki Kosuke in a game because of her coaching. She took the train every day to fight revenge. There was even a legend that "because her hands could not reach the ticket machine, the station staff specially set up a platform in front of the ticket machine for her." Later, she was accepted as a disciple by Kiyotaki Kosuke.
She is the youngest elementary school celebrity in history, the youngest women's title holder in history, and an undoubted female shogi genius. Because she has maintained an undefeated record against Shirahoshi in women's shogi competitions, she is hailed by her fans as "Naniwa's White Snow Princess"!
Once upon a time, Kong Yinzi was proud of this title, but two years ago, everything changed.
"Naniwa only needs one ninth dan, the loser please leave the stage!"
Sora Ginko will never forget the day when the man called "West Poison" - Yokoo Nishikatsu and his disciple - Kuzuryu Yaichi walked into the Kansai Chess Institute.
On that day, Yokoo Nishiki fought with Kiyotaki Kosuke for six rounds, and finally defeated Kiyotaki Kosuke with a score of 4 to 2.
In fact, Kiyotaki Kosuke's strength was not weaker than Yokoo Nishiki, but Yokoo Nishiki caught his weakness! Professional chess players' games are very physically and mentally exhausting. Usually, they only play one game a day, but that day they played six games, 22 hours in total! Kiyotaki Kosuke was physically exhausted and lost.
On the same day, Sora Ginko fought against Kuzuryuu Yaichi and lost all four games, being completely defeated by the unknown Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
After that, Kiyotaki Kosuke moved from Osaka to Tokyo, and Sora Ginko followed him there. Although they moved, the title did not change, and the fans still cheered for the name "Naniwa's Snow White", but Sora Ginko was no longer in Naniwa.
"Master said that Naniwa only needs one ninth dan. When Master's chess skills decline, I will be the only ninth dan. If you want revenge, then work hard to surpass me!"
Sora Ginko still remembers the devilish whisper of Kuzuryuu Yaichi.
She really wanted to catch up, surpass Kuzuryuu Yaichi, and regain the honor of the Qingtaki family, but the gap between the two sides was getting wider and wider.
After defeating Sora Ginko, Kuzuryuu Yaichi was promoted to the fourth dan in the third dan league and became a professional chess player. After that, he was unstoppable and was promoted to the seventh dan in less than a year. Four months later, he won the title of Dragon King in a fierce game and became the eighth dan!
Although after becoming the Dragon King, Kuzuryuu Yaichi entered a period of depression, but he was still not comparable to Sora Ginko. The shogi that initially delighted and intoxicated her, after becoming a tool for her revenge, made her enthusiasm fade away.
[Damn you, you are so talented, why, why don't you like shogi! ]
If Kazuto Hayama was willing to become Kiyotaki Kosuke's disciple, it would be almost certain that he would surpass Yaichi Kuzuryuu, but Kazuto Hayama just had no interest in shogi.
Outside the door, Qingtaki Keika suddenly knocked on the door.
"Ginko-chan, do you want to eat Okonomiyaki?"
"Wait a moment, Sister Guixiang." Kong Yinzi wiped her eyes. She couldn't let Qingtaki Guixiang and Qingtaki Kosuke see her decadent look.
The phone suddenly slipped out of his trouser pocket and fell on the bed. After thinking for a while, Kong Yinzi sent a message to Yushan Heren: "There are some chess tutorials in the software. Go take a look. Don't use your computing power to overwhelm others every time!"
Chapter 13: Self-love is a mental illness
At 5:30 in the morning, Yushan Kazuto woke up on time.
[Hmm? Kong Yinzi actually sent me a message last night. It seems that he has calmed down? ]
Yushan Kazuto simply replied with three words: "I understand", then got up and started his day's exercise.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yushan Kazuto arrived at school on time.
After the familiar pleasantries, Yushan Kazuto sat down. Kato Megumi was sitting upright in the seat next to him, flipping through "Love Metronome".
"Kato, are you feeling better?" Yushan Kazuto asked, tilting his head.
Kato Megumi closed the book and said, "Much better, but you can't eat cold food for lunch."
"I'll go to the cafeteria and buy you a set meal at noon."
"Eh? Then I'll trouble you, Yushan."
The day's classes ended quickly, and Aki Tomoya came to harass them a few more times, but was driven away by Yushan and others using the earplug method.
"Kato, there is a football game today, so I can't take you home. Do you want me to take you to the school gate?"
"Don't worry about me, my father said he will come to pick me up from school after get off work!" Kato Megumi shook her head.
"Besides, I want to watch Yushan-kun's game with Ginko."
Kato Megumi raised her cell phone, on which was the chat page between her and Sora Ginko.
"Ginko will come to see me in class, Yushan, you should go to the court first, we will cheer for you."
Yushan Kazuto didn't know when Kato Megumi and Sora Ginko became so close, but since Sora Ginko would come to the class to find her, Yushan Kazuto was no longer worried.
……
"Today's match is between the private Toyosaki Academy led by the superstar Kazuto Yuyama and the traditional football powerhouse Yangshan High School! Judging from the situation, this is a battle of Mars hitting the Earth. I hope that both sides can bring us a wonderful duel!"
"Halfway through the first half, the two sides were evenly matched. Although neither side scored a goal, the performance of the ace player Yushan Kazuto was still remarkable. Seven dribbles, four crosses, two shots and two on target! In comparison, the best player at Yangshan High School was the goalkeeper."
"There seems to be something wrong with the tactical arrangement of Private Toyonosaki Academy. As a perfect attacker, Yushan Kazuto should have the greatest right to fire. I hope the coach of Private Toyonosaki Academy will pay attention to this problem as soon as possible."
"Hayama Kazuto gets the ball! He passes it to number 14! Hayama Kazuto is speeding up, preparing to attack from the wing? It seems that the coach has also discovered the flaws in his tactical arrangement. A supernova like Hayama Kazuto should unleash his offensive talent!"
"No. 14 kicked a high ball! It went over the defender's head! It was passed to the wing! The ball seemed to be too high. It seems that this offensive opportunity has been ruined again."
Yushan Kazuto looked at the football flying in the air. The ball was indeed a little high, but there was still a chance.
"Yushan Kazuto is still running. He still won't give up on this ball? Is this the belief of a king?"
Next to the court, a girl with long black hair was looking down, flipping through a book, and didn't notice the football flying towards her at all.
"Why is there a girl walking next to the court? Go away! Don't disturb Yushan-kun's personal show!"
【is her? 】
Yushan Kazuto recognized the girl walking gracefully. She was the girl who reserved a seat that day.
【Are you a student of our school? 】
Before Yushan Kazuto could think, the ball was already in front of him. Yushan Kazuto jumped high, his eyes were level with the ball, he hit it hard, and passed it to the nearest teammate.
"Heading the ball! Looking back at the moon! Yushan Kazuto made the impossible possible and successfully saved the ball! He is worthy of being the Toyosaki Imperial Star!"
The whole stadium cheered, and the black-haired girl realized the danger she had just encountered. If Yushan Kazuto had not successfully saved the ball, she might have been hit on the temple and fainted on the spot.
[Isn't this the pervert who peeped at me in the car that day? ]
"No. 19 passed the ball back to Yushan Kazuto. Yushan Kazuto took big steps and waded past a defender. He is worthy of his reputation as the fastest wind man!"
"Oh, let me take a closer look, what just happened? Cross-needle dribbling! The defender didn't react at all. This is not a move that should be on this planet. It's an alien move!"
"Shoot! Such a sudden shot, even a commentator like me almost couldn't react! Yushan Kazuto made a sudden shot, hitting the blind spot! The goalkeeper of Yangshan High School failed to perform another miraculous save. The miracle belongs to the great Yushan Ronaldo Kazuto!"
[On the surface he is a football genius, but deep down he is a contradictory pervert? ]
The black-haired girl suddenly took an interest in Yushan Kazuto, put the book away, and stood at the sidelines.
"Hey, girl over there, please leave the field as soon as possible and don't interfere with the game! You are standing there like a goal post. You have a special attraction to football, don't you know?"
The black-haired girl's face darkened, but she eventually left the spot and walked to the players' entrance and exit.
[Is the commentator blind? What is the metaphor of the goalpost? If you don’t need your eyes, donate them to Kitano Takeshi! ]
After scoring the first goal, Fengzhizaki played more and more smoothly. Yangshan High School was known for its solid overall defense, but after Yushan Kazuto ruthlessly tore through their defense, the gap in individual abilities became apparent.
At the end of the first half, Yushan Kazuto scored three goals and assisted once, participating in all of Fengzhiqi's goals. Yangshan High School could only bitterly swallow four goals.
Egg.
During the half-time break, Yushan Kazuto walked towards the players' lounge, only to find that the black-haired woman who had reserved a seat was standing at the entrance of the aisle, looking at him with a smile.
Several teammates went into the lounge dejectedly, like mice seeing a cat. Yushan and Ren wanted to follow them in, but were stopped.
"Hey, Mr. Heqi, thank you for your selfless heroic rescue!" The black-haired girl had a faint smile on her lips, her voice full of temptation.
"What's wrong? You want to pledge yourself to me? Please go to the football club and fill out an application form first!" Yushan Heren didn't have a good impression of her. He instinctively felt that this black-haired girl was here to cause trouble, so he used his secret technique: straight man's questioning!
The black-haired girl was stunned. She had never thought that there would be such a shameless person in the world! Yushan Kazuto's words interrupted her train of thought.
"Aiya, Kazuki-kun, although I will never forget your heroic rescue, when it comes to repaying you with your body, I am still a little short of the mark! But to thank you, I can give you a gift that you have been dreaming of! I remember that day on the train, you seemed..."
"I saved the ball, not you. Being sentimental is a mental illness. If you need help, I can introduce you to a few psychiatrists."
Yushan Kazuto shrugged and walked straight into the lounge.
Chapter 14: The Yushan family is still producing assholes as always
"Kato, how long will it take for your father to arrive?"
In the gymnasium, Kong Yinzi asked breathlessly. She had been training for half an hour. For her, who could only barely complete the third quarter of the radio gymnastics, this was already an exceptional performance!
Kato Hui sat on the sidelines, looking down at her phone and said, "I don't know. Logically, it should be here."
"I'm not going to play anymore. I'm so tired! You're a monster with a brain full of muscles! You yawn all the time when playing chess, but you're so enthusiastic when playing football." Kong Yinzi sat down next to Kato Megumi with a "happy" face.
Yushan Heren didn't say anything. Kong Yinzi had already done his best. What else could he say?
After packing up his things, Yushan Kazuto returned to the gymnasium again. Kato Megumi and Sora Ginko were still sitting there, with their heads together, whispering, no one knew what they were talking about.
Yushan and others interrupted their secret communication: "Kato, your father hasn't arrived yet?"
It's almost seven o'clock, and even if Kato Megumi's father gets off work at six, he should be here soon.
Kato Hui turned her head and tilted it slightly: "I don't know?"
Yushan Heren blinked, and suddenly he thought of a terrible possibility: "Kato, has your father forgotten you?"
Kato Megumi stared at Yushan Kazuto for a few seconds: "Hey, it seems possible!"
Yushan Kazuto also looked at Kato Megumi. Kato Megumi's expression did not change at all. Such a serious matter was mentioned so lightly, giving a feeling of "It's not a big deal, I've been used to it."
"Why don't you call and ask...it's getting late. If your father has forgotten, I can take you both back."
One minute later.
"Yushan, you guessed it right."
Kato Megumi still had no expression on her face, but Sora Ginko's eyes twitched. Yushan Kazuto was also a little helpless about this. Although he had been prepared for Kato Megumi's little transparent attribute, it was still incredible to Yushan Kazuto that she was so transparent that she even forgot about her family.
"Come on, I'll take you both back."
After several twists and turns, it was not until after nine o'clock in the evening that Yushan and the others returned to the apartment.
The apartment was very quiet at night, and the usually busy elevator became deserted. Yushan and others walked into the elevator, and a black-haired girl who was reading a book walked in right after them.
"Are you following me?" The book in the girl's hand was very familiar. It was "Love Metronome". Coupled with her long black hair, the girl's identity was naturally self-evident.
The girl raised her head and looked at Yushan Kazuto: "Heqi-kun, shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
"How can my advanced elevator track you? Is it quantum entanglement?"
"Hahaha, Heqi-kun, can't you just admit it openly? You went through so much trouble to find my apartment address, and you wandered around downstairs for several hours before you finally saw me. So you rushed into the apartment first and occupied the only way to go upstairs - the elevator. Wasn't it just to meet me by chance?"
The girl closed the book, stroked her hair with her right hand, and the scent of roses filled the air.
"That's really exaggerated. If I didn't have the key to the apartment, I would have almost believed it."
Although the black-haired girl was eloquent, she was actually very cautious. She stared at Yushan Kazuto with suspicion and asked, "You live here too?"
