Shinji Kurahara walked through the living room, passed the garden, passed the corridor, and came to the dining room.

The people at home were already waiting at the long table.

"Shinji, sit down quickly!" His father scolded softly.

After Kurahara Shinji saluted to his elders, he sat in his own position.

The breakfast was already set on the huge table, which was a traditional Japanese breakfast, a bowl of dry rice, two dishes of pickles, a few plates of new dishes, a raw egg and a bowl of miso soup.

On the main seat is his grandfather, Sanghara Tokiro, who always has a stern and serious expression. After seeing that all his family members came, he only said:

"Have a meal."

Everyone has developed rules since childhood and silenced to eat their own breakfast. Occasionally, they can only hear the slight sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding.

After the meal, Sanghara Tokie announced to his family:

"The New Year will be coming soon. Today, the mansion is cleaned up. Anyone who has nothing to do must participate."

Immediately, someone yelled:

"We need a big cleaning again? It's so tiring!"

Shinji Kurahara heard that this was the voice of his ten-year-old cousin and his grandfather's favorite child.

Sure enough, when Kurahara Tokiro heard this complaint, he did not scold him like he was to others, but comforted him:

"Xueta, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Only when the house is cleaned up will the God of Fortune come to the house. Only good children will receive the gift from the God of Fortune. Isn't Xun a good child?"

The other party shook his head quickly and raised his hand and shouted:

"I want Nintendo's new console this year!"

"Okay, God of Fortune will definitely hear it!"

...

Shinji Kurahara stood up and interrupted their interaction:

"Grandpa, I have already booked a Go game, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take time to participate in the big cleaning."

Before Sanghara Shige had spoken, the aunt across the table could pinch her throat and said in a strange voice:

"Oh, I'll watch the game again? It's okay if you don't participate in the big cleaning, but the key is that our family's money doesn't fall from the sky. Even if our family wants a game console, we have to wait until the Chinese New Year. You can watch the game once and it will cost tens of thousands of yen..."

After listening to her with a smile, Shinji Kurahara said slowly:

"First of all, the tickets are not as expensive as you said, and the money is not paid from the family's accounts, I earned it myself in the competition; secondly, my grandfather has agreed to participate in Go activities long ago, even if I want to say it, you have to be behind my grandfather; finally, I remember last year-"

"Shinji!" His father stopped him from making up for old accounts.

Shinji Kurahara curled his lips and did not continue.

The young woman opposite her face turned red and white with anger.

It was not until then that Sanghara Tokie said:

"Since you have bought the ticket, I don't have much to say, but next time you have to make sure the arrangements with your family, you still need to participate in the cleaning of the mansion."

"I understand." Shinji Kurahara agreed.

A few minutes later, he pushed his bicycle and looked back at the wooden sign "Sanghara" beside the door.

In Kyoto Prefecture, the Kurahara family is also a long-standing family. It can be reported to the Warring States Period. It is said that our ancestors were retainers of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

This has always been regarded as a family honor by Tomoe Kurahara.

However, Shinji Kurahara was not very cold:

What does the honor of ancestors or honors from hundreds of years ago have to do with their descendants?

Shinji Kurahara turned his head, ran a few quick steps, and got on the bike.

In fact, the Sangyuan family still has quite a lot of assets, mainly including the property rights of a mountain and two hundred acres of land.

However, more than 30 people from the family are counting on the output of land and mountains every year, which is really a bit short of effort.

The most bizarre thing is that as the patriarch, Tokihiro Sanghara, actually held the view from hundreds of years ago, believing that business matters are done by inferior talents, and even prohibited direct descendants from engaging in professions such as doctors, lawyers, and teachers, which are recognized as high-ranking social status. The reason is just because these are all service industries?

So much so that at present, the Sanghara family has to clean the mansion.

Shinji Kurahara was pedaling quickly. As early as two years ago, when he heard the news of his aunt's death and saw his grandfather cursing, he had already made up his mind:

You must leave the Sanghara family!

Even if the relationship is cut off!

...

The Sankei Cup Professional Amateur Competition was held in the hotel, and the venue was on the first floor, transformed from the original buffet restaurant.

When Chihara Hiroshi went downstairs, he found that many reporters had gathered, and the camera's flash was flashing from time to time.

Mizawa Takayasu, who was beside him, said:

"It should be attracted by the game between you and Senior Lin Haifeng! If they released this list in advance, there would probably be more reporters coming!"

When passing by the room next to the cafeteria, Hiroshi Chihara glanced inside and saw Saki Chihara and Mai Nishitsuji waved at him.

This is the viewing area. After a while, these reporters in the hall outside the door will be put in, and a professional chess player will explain the battle situation in real time.

He nodded to the two women, followed the staff and entered the competition site.

Yoshino Chief Referee and Lin Haifeng have been present and are being interviewed by reporters.

There are also several journalists and videographers here, but they are only privileges of Sankei Shimbun.

As soon as he saw him, one of the female reporters' eyes lit up. He hurriedly called his partner forward, came to him, and asked:

"Teacher Chihara, there is still some time before the competition. Can I give you a brief interview?"

The other party was very young, but at least ten years older than him. The first time he was called a "teacher" by a person of this age, Chihara Hiroshi developed a strange feeling and spread his hands and said:

"Can I refuse?"

The female reporter froze and the microphone just stretched out and stopped between the two of them awkwardly:

This...why don't you play according to the routine?

"Just kidding."

Satisfied his own bad taste, Chihara Hiroshi added another sentence.

The female reporter then reached the microphone in front of him and laughed twice:

"Teacher Chihara is really a humorous person..."

Although she cursed in her heart, the interview had to continue and she asked the first question:

"Teacher Chihara, you are from Osaka and are very close to Kyoto. Have you ever been to Kyoto before?"

"No."

Although Chihara Satoshi said that the brother and sister came to Kyoto when they were young, he had no impression of it.

"Then Mr. Chihara has to visit Kyoto once. Although Kyoto and Osaka are only 100 miles away, there are still many differences that are worth savoring."

The female reporter immediately got to the point:

"Teacher, I heard that you won the fourth place in the amateur Honinbo battle, but as far as I know, Mr. Lin Haifeng, who fought with you today, is the first place in the professional group. In the past Saijing Cup, these have never happened. Do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know." Chihara Hiroshi shook his head simply.

The female reporter choked, breathed calmly, and asked the third question:

"Teacher Chihara, you are currently coaching in Nishitsuji Dojo. As far as we know, Kansai Chess Institute Shinchi Kansai also came from Nishitsuji Dojo. Will you choose Kansai Chess Institute for next year's vocational exam?"

She thought with some smugness:

‘You can’t still not know about this, right?’

Qianhara Hiroshi pondered for two seconds, considering that the registration matter was not yet confirmed, he replied:
Chapter completed!
