Chapter 444 Preparations for the Celebrity Battle
Since I had already discussed it with Fujisawa and Takemiya, I was very familiar with Li Changmin when communicating with him.
However, it took two hours to count the time it took to translate.
And Hiroshi Chihara finally learned the reason why Li Changmin came to Tokyo:
"Tomorrow, our country's Minister of Culture will visit tomorrow, and I am one of them, just taking advantage of today to come here early."
Judging from the other party's appearance, it is obvious that he is somewhat resistant to such activities.
"By the way," Li Changmin raised his head from the chessboard, looked at Qianyuan, and asked, "I remember the day after tomorrow it was your match with Senior Kobayashi, right?"
Chihara Hiroshi said "yes".
The day after tomorrow, it will be the first game of the seven-game chess in the final of the celebrity battle. As the challenger, he will challenge the current "celebrity" Kobayashi Mitsuichi.
"At that time, I will definitely ask the Japan Chess Academy to allow me to watch the game on site!" It was rare that Li Changmin's face showed a little excitement.
Chihara Hiroshi said with a smile:
"That's not easy, you have to be prepared."
Two-day competition, 8 hours a day, and 16 hours a day.
For him, he has never experienced such a long game.
...
"So, Master, are you still a first experience?"
Room 1203 of Meguro Green Inkstone, Rino Morino said while visiting the apartment.
Chihara Hiroshi almost turned dark, and regardless of the maid behind her, he knocked her head:
"Whatever you say, say it carefully if you want to say 'first time'!"
Rino Morino rubbed the position where the knocked was aggrieved, and he was muttering something in his mouth.
Chihara Hiroshi didn't care about her, but asked:
"So, your mother didn't agree to you move here?"
Hearing this sentence, Renino Morino's mouth was almost tilted to the sky:
"Hmph, I've told me a lot, but I'm not allowed to live here directly..."
Hiroshi Chihara secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, I feel like you seem to be very happy. Is it my illusion?" Morino Rino suddenly asked.
"No." Chihara Hiroshi said bluntly.
"Oh, no!" Rino Morino covered his chest and fell exaggeratedly on the sofa he had just bought, looking heartbroken.
Hiroshi Chihara had long been used to this, so he seemed indifferent.
"Master, you are too cruel." Rino Morino patted his skirt and immediately stood up as if nothing had happened.
"You have such talent, not acting is a loss for Japan's film and television industry." Hiroshi Chihara sighed.
But this guy said with serene satisfaction:
"I just want to rely on my own talents to establish myself in this society, not my own beauty!"
Qianhara Hiroshi looked at her childish face and said seriously:
"The second half of the sentence, in another five years, you will say it again. As for you now-"
He deliberately paused here, laughing and sarcastic:
“I’m not worthy yet!”
In an instant, Morino Rino rushed towards him as if a cat was furious.
However, Hiroshi Chihara just stretched out his hand and blocked her from the contact range.
After wasting a minute, Rino Morino finally realized that his attack was in vain and had to withdraw his "claw".
But she didn't plan to give up revenge and said to Chihara:
"Master, you don't know yet. Room 1201 next door is for rent!"
"Ha, I know." Chihara Hiroshi knew what she was thinking and continued, "But I've already inquired about it. Not only 1201, but all the rooms in this apartment building have already lived."
Morino Rino said with his waist, raised his head,
"You may not know yet, this afternoon, to be precise, just two hours ago, your neighbor, including the original owner, had agreed to sublease the house to me!"
Hiroshi Chihara couldn't help but twitch his cheeks twice, but looking at the other party's swearing, it obviously didn't look like he was lying.
He turned his eyes to the two maids standing behind him.
One of them spoke:
"Yes, Mr. Chihara, if it's fast, we'll be able to move here in two days."
Hiroshi Chihara couldn't help rolling his eyes.
Rino Morino suddenly felt that he had won:
"Master, I want to get rid of me unless Japan's land sinks!"
Hiroshi Chihara sneered:
"Then I suggest you go and watch the movie, everything is possible..."
The quarrel between the master and the apprentice is considered daily. The two maids watched this scene with a smile on their faces.
...
The next morning, Chihara Hiroshi indeed saw the news of the South Korean Minister of Culture visiting Japan on TV. There was an out of place young chess player standing in the crowd.
At this time, the phone rings.
He picked up the microphone, agreed, then turned off the TV, cleaned it up, and walked downstairs.
A car has been parked at the entrance of the building, and the style is very familiar. It is a government car customized by the Japan Chess Academy.
The window at the co-pilot slipped down, revealing Secretary Baimao's face:
"Teacher Chihara, I've contacted you in advance, so go now."
"Please trouble you." Chihara Hiroshi thanked.
This was agreed upon by both parties yesterday, and it was a coincidence that when the Japanese Chess Academy was receiving the Korean delegation, the other party accidentally learned that he had not been kimono.
As for the celebrity finals, according to the tradition of a century, you must wear a kimono to compete.
So, as his full-time secretary, Secretary Bai Zhi took the initiative to accompany him to buy clothes.
After getting on the bus, Shiraori, the co-pilot, took the initiative to say:
"That tailor shop is very famous in Tokyo. It was originally the most customized clothing, but you will have a competition tomorrow. It is definitely too late to customize it, so you can only buy one set first to respond to the emergency."
The car started.
What surprised Chihara was that the journey was not far, and it took only about twenty minutes to stop in a street in Shinjuku.
Hiroshi Chihara looked at the street in front of him and couldn't believe it was a scene in Shinjuku. The streets were small and tidy, and the wooden buildings everywhere showed the quaintness here.
Secretary Bai Zhi beside him said softly:
"The tailor shop is inside, let's go in."
As he said that, he took the lead and led the way ahead.
Hiroshi Chihara followed behind, and five minutes later, he came to a shop.
Standing at the door, you can see kimonos for display, both men and women, and the styles are different.
The owner is an old woman who obviously knew Shiraori for a long time. After saying hello, he looked at Chihara and said:
"Is this the guest this time?"
Secretary Bai Zhi moved away and said:
"Yes, Teacher Chihara is about to participate in the highest-ranking competition in the chess world, so please be sure to choose a suitable set of kimonos!"
The old woman nodded:
Chapter completed!
