‘July 28, 1993, Wednesday, yin.

The temperature today is very comfortable and the sun outside has not come out, which is very suitable for shopping.

However, my brother had a game today. I heard from Sister Ma Yi that it was very important. I would also come to the scene to cheer for my brother, go shopping and other activities, so I should go to the back row.

Ah, the wind blowing from the balcony is so comfortable~~

In this weather, my brother will be in a good mood!

Brother, you will definitely win!’

"Xiaoshou, let's go soon."

"Okay, Sister Mai, wait for me to change my clothes."

Chihara Sabu put away his pink notebook, hid it in the hidden corner under the bed, and changed into a new piece of clothing he just bought last week.

Two minutes later, when the sakus appeared in front of everyone, everyone's eyes lit up.

She wore a white knee-length dress and a pink jacket, and the girl's delicate skin and slender figure were fully highlighted.

Hiroshi Chihara praised:

“It’s perfect for you.”

Mai Nishitsuji's eyes were shining. She was worried that she was in front of someone, so she didn't move much. But even so, she took a step forward, hugged Jam tightly, and said:

"Xiao Zi, you are so cute today!"

Hiroshi Chihara sighed a little:

Over the past year, both brother and sister have developed very quickly, and compared to a year ago, they are completely different.

The three of them went out, met with Renino Morino and rushed to the chess institute.

...

On the Japanese Go Gaming Channel, the host is warming up for today's Dragon Star Battle Final:

"Today's final will surely be a highly anticipated game, and it will surely be a game that will be recorded in the history of Go! Both Teacher Zhao Zhixun and Teacher Chihara Hiroshi have extremely strong strength!

"No need to say much about Teacher Zhao's chess power. Since the founding of the Dragon Star Wars, every session has entered the final stage; Teacher Qianyuan's strength is obvious to all, and it was played one after another!

"We will see this epic game in one and a half hours! Who is better? Is it 'Soul Fighting' or 'Kansai Chitong'? Everything will be revealed today...

“…”

Watanabe Izakaya in Osaka—

"What! Of course, Haozhi is better! Didn't Zhao Jixun lose to Haozhi last year?"

A boy of seventeen or eighteen years old shouted dissatisfiedly, wearing a school uniform from a cram school and a schoolbag on the chair next to him.

Mr. Watanabe also looked at the TV, glanced at him and said:

"Boy, judging from your appearance, are you skipping class?"

Shirakawa Katsuhiko stretched out a thumb and said:

"Uncle, you guessed it's really accurate! Today is the final of Haozhi's first professional event, so of course I can't miss it!"

As he said that, he complained:

"Damn it, I'm not allowed to ask for leave with such boring reasons. Is this a boring reason..."

Mr. Watanabe looked at him speechlessly and said:

"You choose to be honest, how could the school agree? Pretending to be sick is better than this!"

Mrs. Watanabe on the side pinched her husband's arm and said:

"Don't teach kids badly!"

Shirakawa Katsuhiko grinned twice and said:

"It's better to pretend to be sick. Anyway, they agree or not, I have to watch this game!"

Mr. Watanabe understood:

This guy's leave is not an application, but a notice.

At this time, there were many guests gathered in the izakaya, mostly middle-aged and elderly people. Some were chess fans nearby, while others heard that Hiroshi Chihara had worked here and came to watch the game specially.

The atmosphere is as if it is already evening, but we are not for social engagements, but because Go gathers here.

In the past few months, every time I encounter Hiroshi Chihara, this is the case here.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko stared at the TV and said:

"Uncle, there are so many people coming here every time. Your TV screen is too small. When will you change to a bigger one?"

Mr. Watanabe ignored his words.

And regular customers who come often also know the relationship between the boy and Hiroshi Chihara, and they almost said:

"Boy, have you contacted Mr. Chihara these days? What do you think about this game?"

Along with this question, someone immediately cheered:

"Last time, Teacher Qianyuan used a 'steep tip', and I still haven't figured out what's going on with this move? Isn't there a new move today, right?"

"Yes, today is the final. Judging from Teacher Chihara's previous game, he must have kept his trump cards, right?"

"Boy, tell me quickly! Teacher Qianhara should have had some whispers, right?"

...

Shirakawa Katsuhiko stood up and pressed down with both hands.

The sound around gradually subsided.

However, facing his eyes of expectation, he spread his hands helplessly and said:

"Sorry, the last time I contacted Chihara, it was last month. I can't answer any of your questions."

Suddenly, there was a sigh around me, but it was not too surprising. After all, I am a top-notch chess player, so how could I make a phone call with no worries?

Shirakawa Katsuhiko sat back in his seat.

At this time, everyone's eyes returned to the TV, and the host was introducing today's guest explanation:

"... Everyone, let us welcome 'Tianyuan' Teacher Lin Haifeng with warm applause!"

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie walked into the camera and sat in the guest seat.

The situation in the Dragon Star final is different:

Not only is there a dedicated tour guide, but a guest will also be invited to watch the game with the host in the studio and discuss the chess game.

"I actually invited Lin Haifeng?" someone murmured.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko is also a little strange:

As the opponent of Hiroshi Chihara in the last game, it would be logical that he would not invite him, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing.

It’s okay to say good things, but if you say bad things, it will not only cause criticism, but also easily lead to conflicts between chess players.

Mr. Watanabe said nothing:

"You guys are thinking too much. Didn't you invite Masao Kato last year? Inviting Lin Haifeng this year is also a common practice. What's so strange about it..."

Suddenly, he stopped talking, looked at the direction of the door, and nipped at Shirakawa Katsuhiko.

Shirakawa Katsuhiko looked back in confusion:

I saw a girl wearing the same school uniform as him standing at the door of the izakaya, locking him angrily.

Samen Masumi ran towards him with a "thump" thump".

Shirakawa Katsuhiko stood up with guilt, scratched her hair and said:

"Masasumi, you are here..."

Hearing the voice of the host on TV, Samen Masumi looked in the direction of the TV, then his eyes returned to his boyfriend, feeling a hint of helplessness, and his anger gradually dissipated, and he said:

"The teacher in the cram school has called to notify my aunt and should have arrived at the school now."

Shirakawa Katsuhiko looked at his girlfriend carefully and asked in a low voice:

"Masume, you didn't tell anyone about my location, did you?"

"……No."

"Then...you skipped class, too?"

Samen Masumi sighed, sat on the chair beside him, and said:

“From the result, that’s what it means.”

Suddenly, a few unscrupulous old men were whistling.
Chapter completed!
