Regarding the interview request, Chihara Hiroshi refused without venting his expectations.

If he had received the other party’s monthly salary of 150,000 yen, he might have a sense of responsibility for having to do something, but the storm caused by the other party last time could have been exhausted by all his sense of responsibility.

“I’m really sorry.”

The silly mouth said quickly:

"Where, I took the liberty, please don't mind."

The two said "Goodbye" to each other and then hung up the phone.

"Yaguchi, what are you going to do about Shinichi Kuri?" asked Takeguchi Ryohei on the side. He learned about this from the reporter who had just left.

Yamato's mouth thought for a while and replied:

"Let's watch it for now, and we are a bimonthly magazine. Let's treat it as the material for the next issue. The truth should have come out at that time."

However, for some newspapers and weekly magazines, there is no need to figure out much. Topics are their priority. As for the truth, what is it that effort is spent.

As a result, the next day, when Chihara Hiroshi finished the second round of the Fujitsu Cup trials, Takayuki Sakai found him.

"Chanhara, come with me!"

The other party's expression was very serious. Qianhara Hiroshi followed up in confusion and asked as he walked:

"What happened?"

"The Chess Academy organized a small press conference, mainly focusing on yesterday's incident, and you need an explanation."

Then, Takayuki Sakai cursed:

"Those bastards!"

Qianhara Hiroshi's thoughts changed slightly and he figured out the context of the matter. After all, he had experienced many such incidents before.

He asked with great interest:

"How did they say me?"

Seeing that his emotions were still stable, Sakai Takayuki's anger calmed down a little and said:

"It's just those, and there are people who dig out the past of you and Hakura in Osaka, and most of them criticize or implicitly mock you."

As he said that, his tone was slightly sarcastic:

"At the morning board meeting, that old guy Kamaya also said that you are famous and just take advantage of this opportunity to promote Go. It's ridiculous!"

Due to various reasons, Chihara Hiroshi's reputation has not only resounded in the chess world, but also ordinary people have seen this name more or less, which can be said to have truly become "out of the circle".

The Go promotion activities of the Chess Academy have been underway since the birth of the Japan Chess Academy. With the tightening of the finances of the Chess Academy over the years, the demand for this aspect has become more urgent.

"That's really ridiculous." After saying this, Hiroshi Chihara didn't say anything else.

The press conference was held in a conference room, and only a few reporters from authoritative newspapers or TV stations were invited, all of whom were partners of the chess institute, and the meaning they wanted to express was self-evident.

Sure enough, before the camera started working, the reporters first informed them of the question, and only after confirming that it was possible to start the camera, the cameraman turned on the machine.

Hiroshi Chihara felt that this kind of thing was very boring. It was obviously just a small matter on the court, but it was infinitely magnified. At the same time, he finally understood why Hideyuki Fujisawa, Zhao Zhixun and others hated the media so much.

After the end, under the arrangement of the staff of the chess institute, the reporters began to leave the venue.

Takayuki Sakai, who had been waiting aside, handed a glass of water and said:

"Then I'll leave it to the chess academy. You don't have to worry about this anymore."

Hiroshi Chihara took a sip, moistened his throat, then nodded and said:

"I see."

Afterwards, at the invitation of Takayuki Sakai, the two had lunch together.

Before parting, he said with a smile:

"The re-election of directors of the Chess Academy will begin next week. Qianyuan Jun, please be sure to vote for me at that time!"

"Well, I will."

...

The tail of September slipped away quietly, and October was coming in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Secretary Bai Zhi sent him the schedule for this month.

Since October is the throne battle, the month when the Tianyuan battle begins, coupled with the existing celebrity battle qualifiers and Fujitsu Cup trials, the schedule of October is not much easier than September.

Hiroshi Chihara looked at the dense schedule and his eyebrows were a little swollen.

Suddenly, he noticed a few strange things, pointed to several locations on the table, and asked:

"Why are there two games a day?"

Secretary Bai Zhi had a helpless expression and said:

"Your schedule is too dense and you can't queue up. And these are the competitions that started in the afternoon, so it should be too late..."

Chihara Hiroshi said:

"The game time in the morning and afternoon should have coincided with part of it, right?"

Secretary Bai Zhi nodded and said:

"According to your previous game time, it should be too late, as long as there is no accident..."

What a big flag... Chihara Hiroshi sighed. He couldn't blame the other party. After all, it was his first time participating in the competition, and the schedule was based on his victory. Not to mention that he was divided into the afternoon and did not collide with each other, it was considered that he was lucky.

"Miss Shiratsu, thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do, but there is another question, I need to let you know in advance."

"you say."

Secretary Bai Zhi's lips were slightly pursed, and then he said:

"Teacher Chihara, you're going to participate in the NEC Cup next month, right?"

"Yes." A bad premonition came to Chihara Hiroshi's heart.

The other party continued:

"According to last year's experience, these competition days will inevitably collide. If this happens, please prepare early."

The so-called "preparation" is naturally to give up one of the events.

For a moment, Qianyuan Haozhi did not speak out, and he responded more than ten seconds later:

"I'll talk about what's going on next month."

Secretary Bai Zhi was a little confused:

Is this the "happy worries"? Other chess players participate in the competition one by one, and determine their schedule based on the results of the competition, but the opponent determines their schedule for one month or even two months based on the premise of complete victory.

The key is that I believe he can do it!

...

After Shiraori left, Chihara Hiroshi looked at the schedule on the table and fell into deep thought:

There are two games a day, and there are three games this month, namely the 9th, the 15th and the 19th.

However, the two games of No. 9 and No. 15 are both preliminaries, and the opponents you encounter are not too strong. Just activate the skills and he can handle them in a short time.

The real trouble is the two games on the 19th. The morning is the last game of the celebrity preliminaries. When it comes to the final stage, the opponents you meet will definitely be good, and most chess players have the habit of taking the long test, which is very likely to consume a lot of time.

And the afternoon game was the preliminaries of the Throne Station...

If it really doesn't work, can you give up the battle of the throne?
