[Soul of Chess] What if

Chapter 94 Curious

"I...I want to eat too. I'm going to go to the fast food restaurant and eat a burger..."

"Hamburger..."

Hearing Ah Guang's answer, the boy named He Gu muttered with his chin on his hand.Then, he turned his gaze to the boy who looked older: "Yijiao, let's go eat hamburgers too!"

"Huh?" The boy named Yijiao was obviously stunned for a moment, "Didn't you agree to go to the convenience store to buy lunch?"

"Suddenly want a change!" He Gu rubbed his head and laughed dryly after hearing the other party's slightly complaining words.

Seeing this, Yijiao couldn't help sighing, but he still agreed.

In this way, the team that originally consisted of only two people, Aguang and Zuowei, suddenly grew a lot.

The fast food restaurant at Kudanshita was only one stop away from Kiin, so they happily decided to walk there.

Due to the presence of outsiders, Ah Guang definitely has no way to play chess with him.After clearly realizing this, Zuo Wei was in tears along the way.

Things would turn out like this, he didn't expect it.In order to make his ears feel better, he had no choice but to comfort Zuowei in his heart while walking.

However, Zuo Wei was still sobbing uncontrollably until he sat down on the seat.

In addition, that He Gu's gaze always drifted over from time to time, as if he had something to say to himself, but for some reason, he never spoke.Seeing the hesitation on the other party's face, Ah Guang felt his head was getting bigger while he was full of doubts.

I knew they must have something to do with me. (;all)

Looking at Zuo Wei who was still wiping his tears with his cuff, Ah Guang couldn't help but lamented in his heart: So, why can't I have a quiet meal! !

In this slightly helpless atmosphere, Ah Guang finished all the food in front of him.

At the same time, the two people opposite also finished their meal.

After eating and drinking, the point finally came.

"Hey, what's the relationship between you and Taya Ryo?" Kazuya asked with great interest as he moved a little closer.

Looking at the unconcealable curiosity in the other party's eyes, Ah Guang's head was suddenly covered with black lines.

Before Ah Guang could answer, the other party asked again: "Are you classmates? Neighbors? Or?"

What is this all about? ! =_=

Ah Guang couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and then said seriously: "I have nothing to do with Ta Yaliang."

The other party obviously didn't believe it: "How is it possible! If it doesn't matter, why did he come to you on purpose?"

"Taya, he came to look for me?!" Ah Guang exclaimed.

"Yes." He Gu replied affirmatively.Yijiao also nodded in agreement.

It was Saturday last week.

After the game ended that afternoon, He Gu went to the front to write the results.At this moment, he saw a familiar figure, and that person was—Taya Ryo.

Taya's attire was still as decent as ever.As soon as he entered the game room, he began to look around seriously, as if he was looking for someone.

What is he here for?Could it be that he has something to do with the student teacher?The movement of He Gu's hands couldn't help but stop, he looked at Taya suspiciously, while guessing the other party's intention in his heart.

As if aware of his gaze, Taya shifted his gaze to this side.

After seeing the owner of the line of sight clearly, Taya's eyes widened slightly, and then he walked over without the slightest hesitation.

"Hello." Taya had a polite smile on her face.

Unexpectedly, the other party could recognize him, and He Gu replied in a panic: "...Hello."

"Um... do you know Hikari Shinto?" Taya asked after a little hesitation.

"Shindo Hikari?" Kazuya repeated in surprise, "I know him. What's wrong?"

Hearing his own answer, Taya breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that he didn't participate in training today, do you know what's going on?"

He Gu thought about it carefully, and then replied: "I heard from Shinoda-sensei that Shindo has to take the school exam, so I can't come today."

"Is that so..." Taya looked thoughtful.

After pondering for a moment, he sincerely thanked himself, and then left.

While Taya was talking with Hegu, other people also noticed Taya's arrival.

As soon as he left, everyone surrounded him, including those college students who had played against Taya during the professional chess player examination.

"I read that right, isn't that Taya Ryo?"

"Taya Ryo?!"

"What is he doing here?"

"Yeah, Kazuya, what did Taya tell you?" Yijiao also asked curiously.

Thinking of the conversation between Taya and himself, Kazuya was also at a loss: "He asked me why Shindo Hikaru didn't come to the training today."

"Shin Teng Hikaru?" The people around looked at a loss.

"I remember that he seems to be in the second group..." a person said hesitantly.

"The second group?"

"I guess there's something else going on?"

"Hmm, it's possible."

After a while the crowd dispersed.

As for why He Gu knew about Shindo Hikari, on the one hand, it was because the number of students in the academy was basically fixed at 40-50.Although there are four exams for college students a year, not many people pass the exam, so the members basically don't change much, that is to say, once a new companion joins, it's easy to recognize.

On the other hand, maybe it can be explained by "the same people who have fallen into the world".

On the first day of the academy student training day in November, the college students who failed the professional chess player exam like He Gu returned to the chess academy and continued to sharpen their chess skills.

It was also on this day that the Chess Academy released a new student list.

After checking his schedule, He Gubai looked around boredly.After scanning one after another, either happy or sad, his eyes stopped involuntarily.

Compared with the crowd discussing together, that solitary figure seemed a bit abrupt.I think I'm a newcomer, and I haven't really integrated into the life of the students.

He Gu lowered his head and carefully looked at the sequence list in his hand.

There are only two relatively unfamiliar names on the list, one is Ochi Kosuke and the other is Shinto Hikari.Ochi is currently ranked 25th in the first group, and Shinto is 18th in the second group.

Seeing the traces of loneliness shrouded in each other's body, Kazuya was sure that the boy's name was Hikari Shinto.After all, if that person was Ochi who was directly promoted from the second group to the first group, no matter what, he wouldn't be as frustrated as he is now~╯﹏╰

As for the reason for the opponent's discouragement, He Gu felt that he might understand.Although that person's ranking has indeed improved a little, but compared with another person who is at the same time as him, that improvement is much inferior.

Kazuya couldn't help but think of himself and Toya during the professional shogi exam.Although Mr. Morishita always said that his aptitude was very good, compared with Taya, his aptitude suddenly became mediocre.

Thinking of this, Hegu couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy for each other.

That's why Kazuya knew about Shinto.

Taya, he really went to the chess academy to find him.

But thinking of Taya's unusually serious personality, Hikari was not so surprised.

Realizing that the other party was still waiting for his answer, Ah Guang spoke after careful consideration: "I really have nothing to do with Taya, just played chess a few times."

"Play chess? Where?"

"At the chess club." Ah Guang simply replied.

"Who won?" He Gu asked impatiently.

When Aguang was worrying about what to say, Yijiao on the side said helplessly: "He Gu, don't think about it, Taya Ryo won, okay..."

"That's right." He Gu smiled sheepishly.

Seeing Ah Guang's wry smile, he didn't dwell on this issue anymore, but looked at Ah Guang with some disappointment: "That's all?"

Aang nodded guiltily.

"What..." He Gu lay down on the table all of a sudden, "I thought there was something interesting..."

"Interesting thing? How do you say that?" Yijiao asked puzzled.

"Because Taya seems to care more about Shinto. I thought..."

"Why?" Yijiao was even more confused.

"I thought..." I thought he regarded Shinto as a competitor... But it's impossible to think about it, the difference in chess strength between the two is too great.

"It's nothing."

He Gu shook his head, put aside the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, then looked at A Guang and sighed sincerely: "It's because of this that Ta Ya cares about you so much, I didn't expect him to be such an approachable person .”

Ah Guang felt that it was better for him to keep silent, lest the other party ask any more questions.

He thought so, then lowered his head and slowly sipped the Coke in the cup.

Perhaps because of his better condition, Aguang still got a white star in the afternoon game.

As soon as the training was over, Ah Guang drove to the Internet cafe he often went to.

As soon as they went online, they received a message from a celebrity named Taya.

Seeing the name Toyakoyo, Ah Guang was stunned for several seconds. After recovering, he carefully checked the content sent by the other party: "The celebrity asked us if we have any intention to participate in the 'Chunlan Cup'..."

"'Chunlan Cup'?" As soon as Ah Guang looked up, he saw Zuo Wei looking at him in confusion.

How stupid of me to think Zuo Wei would know... Hikari couldn't help but touch his forehead.He sighed, then clicked on the browser page, searching for the three words Chunlan Cup.

It turns out that the Chunlan Cup is the abbreviation of the Chunlan Cup World Professional Go Championship. It is a Go competition jointly organized by the Chinese Go Association and Jiangsu Chunlan Group.Although there are only 24 players participating, they come from all over the world, and they are all top chess players in the world.

In other words, if Zuo Wei participates, he will be able to play against more masters!

Looking at the introduction about the Chunlan Cup on the screen, Zuo Wei's eyes lit up.

"I want to participate! I want to participate! ≥﹏≤" he shouted excitedly while shaking Ah Guang non-stop.

"I got it! I got it!" Ah Guang couldn't stop struggling, "I can't reply if you don't let go, Zuo Wei!"

After Zuo Wei finally let go, Ah Guang took a deep breath of fresh air before hitting the keyboard.

The author has something to say:

Zuo Wei's stage is about to kick off!
