When they arrived at the living room, Chihara Hiroshi presented a souvenir brought back from Tokyo, and the three of them exchanged greetings for a long time.

Mai Nishitsuji focused on inquiries about the relevant situation of the competition.

Chihara Sabu on the side was obviously also concerned about his situation in Tokyo for a while and held his ears to listen.

Hiroshi Chihara answered these questions one by one.

"It's a pity that I only got the fourth place!" Mai Nishitsuji said regretfully.

Hiroshi Chihara shook his head

"It's nothing bad, this is my current strength."

Hearing this sentence, Mai Nishitsuji showed an ambiguous smile and said

"Haha, when it comes to strength, you are a big shot in Tokyo this time! Even I have accepted several media interviews, and everyone says you are the rising star of the Japanese chess world!"

Qianhara Hiroshi was a little helpless. He was not actually opposed to the reporter's interviews. He just came over a few times and kept asking similar questions, which really made him a little bored.

"It's been several days, so the heat should have gone down, right?" he asked.

Follow the official account book fan base, follow it and get cash and order coins!

Mai Nishitsuji tilted her head, thought for a few seconds before answering

"Is it popular? Those reporters are all guys who are bored with the new and old, so they shouldn't pay so much attention, but if they were people in the local Go circle, they shouldn't forget that quickly."

Speaking of this, she looked at Qianhara

"Kun Chihara, you are still respected by Senior Fujisawa and Senior Zhao Zhixun. Everyone regards you as the second newest brother!

"By the way, I've wanted to ask you, who gave the name of "Honinbo 26th generation"?"

The second ‘newest brother’… Qianhara Hiroshi somewhat rejected this statement.

Although his target is Shinichi Kuri and is known as the number one person in the younger generation of Kansai chess, he is not his wish to live in the shadow of others.

At the same time, he was a little strange about the latter question

"I got it, what's wrong?"

Mai Nishitsuji's eyes were slightly wide open, and she seemed to have not expected it, and she said in surprise

"A name that is so arrogant doesn't look like your personality?"

Hiroshi Chihara is speechless

The other party has not been beaten by later keyboard warriors and does not know the statement of "second personality".

Moreover, if you don’t even have such ambitions, how can you continue to play professional Go in the future?

Mai Nishitsuji was not confused about this topic, but instead looked at Chihara Sato who was nestled beside Hiroshi Chihara, with a tone of resentment.

"Xiao Shu, even if Qian Yuan comes back, you have a new person and forget the speed of the old person, it's too fast!"

Chihara whispered

"No, I just haven't seen each other for too long..."

"Ha, liar! You said so when Ojiyama came before! Alas, my sister is so sad..." Mai Nishitsuji's tone was extremely exaggerated.

Chihara Saki "..."

Seeing this scene, Chihara Hiroshi felt relieved

There have been changes. Although there is still some difference with her previous personality, she can communicate with others normally. Apart from being a little shy, no one can see that she was still a "squat at home" who dared not go out three months ago.

"Miss Nishitsuji, thank you for your care for Shizu during the past three weeks!"

Hiroshi Chihara stood up, led the sakus, and bowed to Mai Nishitsuji to thank him.

Mai Nishitsuji also stood up and quickly helped Chihara Sato up and said to Hiroshi Chihara

"Didn't you say it on the phone? This is not something worth thanking, and Xiao Shu is also very well-behaved, a worry-free and good kid..."

Others said they didn't have to care, how could they really think so? Qianhara Hiroshi thought for two seconds and said

"The boarding fee for Xiao Shu during this period-"

But before he finished speaking, Mai Nishitsuji had already interrupted him

"I took the initiative to take care of Xiao Shu. If you want to give me money, I would look down on me too much!"

"But--"

"Nothing is true," Mai Nishitsuji waved her hand and said, "Besides, because of you, all the places in the dojo have been fully collected. I should be the one who said thank you!

"By the way, the students in the past are asking about your situation. You must come on time tomorrow morning! You can't just dislike me because you are famous!"

Tomorrow is Saturday, and it is the work day I agreed on.

Chihara Hiroshi knew she was joking and said with a smile

"How could it be? We still signed the contract! Even if we want to break the contract, I can't afford the penalty..."

Chihara Sabu listened silently.

Just as Hiroshi Chihara felt her change, she also felt her brother's change - she was a little happier than before.

After a while, Mai Nishitsuji suddenly asked

"You are going to take Xiao Zhu home today, right?"

Hiroshi Chihara did not answer immediately, but looked at Chihara first, and then spoke when he saw her nodding.

"yes.

"Shu, you go pack your things first, we'll get home later."

Mai Nishitsuji frowned slightly, her tone seemed to be complaining

"It's already past five o'clock, so you don't have to worry even if you go home. Don't even have time to leave for dinner?"

When the other party said this, Chihara Hiroshi said a few polite words and immediately agreed.

When Chihara Saki went to pack up his things, Mai Nishitsuji asked someone he didn't expect

"Kun Chihara, I heard that Director Sakai from the Japan Chess Institute favors you very much?"

Chihara Hiroshi thought it was told by Kuri Shinichi, so he admitted that

"I have indeed been taken care of by Director Sakai many times."

After hearing his words, Mai Nishitsuji's reaction was a little strange, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

Hiroshi Chihara said directly

"Is there any problem?"

Mai Nishitsuji nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said

"When I went to participate in the big hand competition these days, I heard from people in the chess academy that there was a senior who was very dissatisfied with you..."

Hiroshi Chihara was full of confusion, but when he thought about the other party's previous question, he guessed

"It has something to do with Director Sakai?"

"Yes, it seems that it is Aoki Kyusan. A few years ago, he had a debate with Director Sakai in the newspaper, and it made a big fuss in the Go world, and the two of them also became enemies."

"So, am I affected?"

"I guess so."

Hiroshi Chihara couldn't help rolling his eyes

It's really speechless that I have never seen it before, and I offended it inexplicably.

"Is this Aoki Kudan a senior manager of Kansai Chess Academy?"

"This is not, I just took a false position as an advisor..."

"So what titles he has ever received?"

There are only a dozen famous chess players in Japan, and there seems to be no one with the surname "Aoki", but he still confirmed.

"No, nor is it, and Aoki Kyu-dan has not participated in competitions for many years."

Hiroshi Chihara breathed a sigh of relief

It turns out that it is just an old man who has no power and no power, so there is nothing to worry about.
