Kazuto Yushan easily calmed down Toumori Sanae's emotions just like coaxing a child.
However, judging from Sanae Toumori's age, it is not wrong to say that she is a child.
"I'll go soak first
I took a shower, I feel a little uncomfortable. "Yushan Heren said.
Toumori Sanae nodded slightly. Although she was still a little scared, for some reason, Toumori Sanae felt much calmer.
Seeing Toumori Sanae sitting on the bed obediently, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but smile, waved his hand gently, and walked out of the room.
……
"silver?"
I took the elevator upstairs, but unexpectedly I saw Kong Yinzi at the elevator door.
"Are you up so early?"
"Yeah." Kong Yin Zi responded lightly, but her eyes were examining Yushan and others.
"I just finished my morning exercise." Noticing Kong Yinzi's gaze, Yushan Heren couldn't help scratching his head and said.
Kong Yinzi nodded, and looking at Yushan Heren's clothes soaked with sweat, she could roughly guess what was going on.
"What did you want to talk to me about last night?" Looking at Kong Yinzi, Yushan Heren couldn't help but ask.
Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan Heren and said, "Go back to your room and talk."
……
Looking at the folding fan that Kong Yinzi handed to him, Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink.
Last week, Kong Yinzi also gave him the folding fan.
In Yushan Kazuto's opinion, Sora Ginko seemed to treat this folding fan as a mascot or a blessing item such as amulet.
However, given Yushan Kazuto's chess skills, it seems that he doesn't really need these things.
Of course, Yushan Heren didn't say it. After all, this was also out of Kong Yinzi's kindness, and it was difficult to refuse.
Watching Kong Yinzi leave, Yushan Heren couldn't help but take a deep breath and walked into the bathroom.
Chapter 1458 Puffer Fish Rice
The breakfast is very special, including Shimonoseki specialties - puffer fish rice, puffer fish stew porridge, and tile soba noodles.
However, only Wadaka Soba is provided free of charge, while the other two require additional payment.
After all, puffer fish is a precious food ingredient, and even though Shimonoseki is a famous puffer fish hometown, the price is still very expensive.
The puffer fish meat is cut very delicately, with each slice being of uniform thickness and as thin and transparent as a cicada's wing. It is even thinner than the beef in Lanzhou ramen, which is a real test of the knife skills.
Although the plating is not as luxurious as that of professional puffer fish dishes, it is also very beautifully laid out. Just one look at it will increase your appetite and make you unable to resist feasting on it.
One spoonful of it is full of sweetness and freshness. No wonder even though puffer fish is highly poisonous, it always attracts so many gourmets.
Toumori, Sanae and the other two smiled with enjoyment. Before entering the restaurant, they were still feeling a little scared, but the moment they took the puffer fish into their mouths, they were healed by the delicious food.
Halfway through the meal, Kong Yinzi finally arrived.
Due to the joining of Mai Sakurajima, the preparations for today's Dragon King battle have become more complicated.
Kong Yinzi went out early in the morning to start preparing, but up to now, she has only completed part of the work.
"Yin Zi." Seeing Kong Yin Zi walk into the restaurant, Yushan Heren stretched out his hand to greet her.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Heren, but when she saw the other three people at Yushan Heren's table, her expression turned cold again. She nodded slightly in response.
Yushan Kazuto could only blink slightly, lower his head, and continue to enjoy his breakfast.
Kong Yinzi did not choose the special puffer fish dish, but instead ordered an ordinary tonkotsu ramen, brought it over, and sat at the table next to Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Kazuto looked up and glanced at the empty Ginko's plate, blinking slightly: "Ginko, the pufferfish rice in this restaurant is delicious."
But Kong Yinzi just raised her head, glanced at Yushan Kazuto, and said, "I'm not very interested in puffer fish dishes."
Yushan Heren could only shrug his shoulders, thinking that he was asking for trouble.
In fact, it’s not that Sora Ginko dislikes puffer fish dishes, but because she was born in Osaka, she prefers Osaka-style puffer fish dishes.
Osaka residents are well-known for their love for pufferfish, which accounts for more than 60% of Japan's annual consumption.
In comparison, even Shimonoseki, which is known as the hometown of pufferfish, is far behind it.
The flavors of the two places are also different. Kong Ginko's favorite is grilled puffer fish slices, but unfortunately the hotel does not provide this method, which can be considered luxurious among puffer fish dishes.
When he turned around, Toumori Sanae and the others raised their heads and stared at him.
Yushan Heren couldn't help but say, "Keep eating, keep eating, why are you looking at me?"
……
After breakfast, Kong Ginko had only eaten half of her pork bone ramen when Yushan Kazuto got up and prepared to return to her room, but was stopped by Kong Ginko.
"Don't forget the time for the Dragon King battle."
"Yeah." Yushan Kazuto nodded and blinked slightly.
I am such a punctual person, but I was a little bit late that time, and as a result, Kong Yinzi became wary of me.
Especially that mistake was not entirely due to Yushan Kazuto's own fault, which made Yushan Kazuto feel even more aggrieved.
Looking at Yushan Heren's expression, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but blink slightly and lowered his head: "Also, don't forget to bring your things."
"Yeah." Yushan Heren had no choice but to respond and nodded.
What Kong Yinzi was talking about was naturally the folding fan that she gave to Yushan Heren this morning. Yushan Heren pointed slightly to the pocket on his clothes and the folding fan was placed in the pocket.
After hearing Yushan Heren's response, Kong Yinzi continued to eat his breakfast. Yushan Heren had to blink slightly and walked towards the exit of the restaurant.
……
The elevator door opened and a figure appeared in front of Yushan Heren.
Although the other party was covered tightly, Yushan Kazuto still recognized the other party's identity - it was Sakurajima Mai.
Under the sunglasses, Sakurajima Mai and Hayama Kazuto looked at each other. Looking at Toumori Sanae and the other two beside Hayama Kazuto, she was stunned for a moment and then walked out of the elevator.
As he entered the elevator, Yushan Kazuto's eyes remained on Sakurajima Mai.
I met Sakurajima Mai once when I went to Osaka last week. This time when I came to Shimonoseki, I met her again, and she even stayed in the same hotel as me.
Yushan Heren's heart couldn't help but ripple, and he felt a little more doubtful.
The elevator door gradually closed, and Mai Sakurajima's figure gradually disappeared from his sight. Yushan Kazuto then took a deep breath and stopped thinking about it.
……
In the room, Yushan and others sat cross-legged on the ground, blinking their eyes slightly.
Kazuto Yuyama was still a little surprised about meeting Mai Sakurajima in the elevator just now.
[Since I noticed her, it means her presence has not disappeared. She may have made preparations for a certain announcement today.]
Yushan Kazuto thought about it and blinked slightly.
Normally, even if Sakurajima Mai doesn't make any decorations and stands in front of Yushan Kazuto, it is difficult for Yushan Kazuto to notice her.
But just now in the elevator, even though Sakurajima Mai was dressed tightly and covered her entire body, Yushan Kazuto still spotted her at a glance.
If Sakurajima Mai's presence had not been fully restored, then
We can only assume that this was Mai Sakurajima's advance preparation for today's work.
After all, Mai Sakurajima is not actually an ostentatious person. Most of the time, she is relatively low-key and will not make special preparations unless necessary.
But Kazuto Yushan couldn’t understand why Mai Sakurajima’s work had conflicted with his for two consecutive weeks?
Maybe it was more than two weeks. After all, on the last weekend before school started, Mai Sakurajima was also responsible for the commentary of the national competition.
The only time in the battle with the Dragon King around Tokyo was when Hayama Kazuto did not notice Mai Sakurajima.
In the room, Toumori, Sanae and the other two had fallen asleep again.
Although the three of them finally managed to fall asleep after arriving at Yushan Kazuto's room last night, the quality of their sleep was indeed poor.
Yui Doma and Rikka Takanashi are both rather sleepy, while Sanae Touma gets up a little too early.
Looking at the three people who had fallen asleep again in the room, Yushan Kazuto finally couldn't help but take out his cell phone.
As soon as I clicked on Line, a message popped up.
"Kazuto-san, we meet again."
At the end of the message, Mai Sakurajima also added a greeting emoticon.
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and replied angrily, "What a coincidence, Mai-senpai."
"It's a coincidence indeed. Every time I see Kazuto's junior, the girl next to him is different!"
Chapter 1459: You already have two new female companions in less than a week?
When I met Sakurajima Mai on the plane last week, she only saw Doma Mai.
Sanae Touma and Rikka Takanashi took an additional private plane to Osaka, but Mai Sakurajima didn't actually see them.
When they were at the Hanshin Hotel, Sakurajima Mai stayed in her room and did not show up, so the three of them did not meet.
"Didn't you meet Himouto-chan last week?" Yushan Kazuto replied unhappily.
"What you mean, Kazuto-kun, is that in less than a week, you have two more female companions?" Mai Sakurajima's questions are always very sharp.
Hayama Kazuto blinked slightly and wanted to explain that Sanae Touma and Rikka Takanashi were also there last week.
But after a little thought, he realized that if he really explained it, it would probably only make things worse, so in the end, Yushan Heren did not say anything.
"Let's put this aside for now. Senior Mai, do you have work to do when you come to Shimonoseki this time?" Yushan Kazuto changed the subject.
"Yeah, I still have to work on weekends, alas." Sakurajima Mai's reply suddenly changed in style, which made Yushan and others a little uncomfortable.
"It feels a bit like a coincidence." Yushan Heren replied unhappily.
Last week, Yushan and others went to Osaka to play chess, and Sakurajima Mai had work in Osaka. This week, they came to Shimonoseki, and Sakurajima Mai had something to do in Shimonoseki again.
Considering that there are so many cities in Japan, from a probability analysis, this possibility is actually a bit low.
"It does feel a bit like a coincidence." Sakurajima Mai replied.
"But is there a possibility that my work was actually commissioned by the Shogi Federation?"
Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink, and his expression became strange. Why didn't he consider this?
But if you think about it carefully, last week in Osaka, Kazuto Hayama didn't see Mai Sakurajima appear in the Hanshin Hotel!
The subsequent news and comments did not mention Mai Sakurajima.
If Mai Sakurajima was really invited by the Shogi League to increase the popularity of the Dragon King Tournament, she would not be so unknown.
"Senior Mai, you are joking. I didn't see you during the Dragon King battle last week."
"Well, after I checked into the hotel last week, I stayed in my room the whole time and didn't go out. You didn't come to my room, so of course you couldn't see me."
Yushan Kazuto's expression was a little stiff, and Sakurajima Mai's explanation was reasonable.
Moreover, just after I finished playing chess last week, Mai Sakurajima sent me a message of congratulations, which seemed to confirm this possibility.
However, after careful analysis, there seem to be some loopholes. If Mai Sakurajima was really invited by the Shogi League as a special guest of the Dragon King Tournament, why didn't she show up last week?
Seeing that Yushan Kazuto did not reply for a long time, Sakurajima Mai knew that Yushan Kazuto probably still had doubts in his heart, so she sent him a photo.
The scene in the photo is very familiar to Hayama Kazuto, which is the Yodogawa River that can be seen from the window of Hanshin Hotel.
After seeing this photo, Hayama Kazuto realized that everything Sakurajima Mai said was true.
"So, Senior Mai, you were also at Hanshin Hotel last week!" Hayama Kazuto replied unhappily.
"Yeah, it's pretty boring staying in a room by yourself, unlike when you're with your juniors, where you have all these girls to keep you company."
Looking at the message sent by Sakurajima Mai, for some reason, Yushan Kazuto always felt a little resentful.
"So, Senior Mai, why didn't you come out for a walk last week?" asked Kazuto Yushan.
"Although I accepted the invitation, as a shogi novice, my rash appearance at the Dragon King Tournament would only add to the joke," explained Sakurajima Mai.
