[Soul of Chess] Shugui

"I still have you?" Shinto said hoarsely, with a distorted expression that was half a smile, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, "You will always be by my side? Then, tell me, Suzumiya Kiko is Who is it? Didn't you tell her that too, almighty love words~"

"Who is Suzumiya Kiko?" Taya frowned suspiciously, not knowing how the topic turned to an unknown person.

"Oh~ you actually asked me? Really?" Before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by Taya, who came to his senses.

"It has nothing to do with her." Taya suddenly had the urge to laugh.

"Yeah, this has nothing to do with her, so what do I have to do with you?" Jin Teng's face was full of ridicule, just like the sarcasm that appeared in the bottom of his heart at the beginning, "Since it's okay , why should I tell you about Sai?"

"That's it!" Taya quickly tapped her lips with her finger, and there was still a small wound on it.

This is just... the proof left behind.

"You—" Shindo blushed instantly.

He didn't understand why he felt like he was being molested now that he had already made a decision and planned to make it clear at one time and stop getting entangled.

"Shinto, you are not alone." Taya stood up slowly and walked towards the hospital bed step by step.

His steps were very light, and he basically didn't make a sound, but Shinto felt that such a Taya, with a certain fierce momentum, stepped into his heart bit by bit.

"I'm always by your side, no matter what time it is." Taya's eyes seemed to be shining, "Maybe from the first time I saw you, when we introduced ourselves to each other, I have already made an appointment for the seat next to you. No matter what you left me, or what I took from myself.

"At the beginning, I was chasing you—maybe that's not the real you, I didn't understand at the time—I didn't understand until a long time later, when I played a game of chess with you in the chess academy two years apart. That's my fault, I gave up too early and realized it was too late. But at that time, when I was about to give up on you, even when I had already given up on you, you started chasing me again, didn't you? "

Taya sat on the edge of the bed and took Shinto's hand.Seeing that he didn't refuse or reject, she opened his palm and put it with her right hand.

"Look, your hands, mine, have these little calluses. At first I was chasing you, then you were chasing me, and now we are chasing each other.

"You know what it means. This is not what Sai can bring to you. Only you, your own efforts, let us stop looking at each other's backs and stand together."

Shinto's eyes moved along the hands of the two to Taya's face, it was a kind of tenderness he had never seen before.

"Although I don't know who and what kind of person Sai is, I have always been grateful to him. Without him, we would not have met.

"I thanked him before, because of him, I found an opponent who can play chess with me for a lifetime, a lifetime opponent.

"Thank him now, because of him, we can meet, you will be mine, of course, I am also yours.

"But, Hikar, I really don't want to see you being too obsessed with Honinbo. I understand your feelings, and I really don't care if you are willing to tell me about Sai, about Honinbo's secrets. I just care You, I am afraid that you will be thinking wildly by yourself, get stuck in it and cannot extricate yourself, or even hurt yourself.

"From now on, I have always been by your side, and you have always been by my side.

"Hikar, how can you have so little confidence in yourself, in me."

Taya sat in front of Shinto, squeezed his hand, and talked a lot slowly.

Shinto looked at the man sitting in front of him stupidly.He never knew that Taya could say so many words in one breath.

Shinto's overly shocked eyes pleased Taya, he smiled helplessly, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Shinto's shoulders: "I won't say, I thought you could understand my feelings, after all..."

Taya paused, two blushes faintly floated on his face: "After all, we are together now. Do you think I am the kind of person who would accept same-sex confession for no reason? Only, your...confession... , I will..."

Shinto began to feel dizzy, and he suddenly felt that what happened today might just be his own imagination.But when I heard a certain sensitive word, I still couldn't help but explode: "What is my confession, it's obviously you!"

"Yes, you didn't confess, it's because we have the same heart." Taya didn't refute, and continued, "It's just that I didn't expect that you would run away, whether it was against Honinbo or me. I thought you would figure it out, no Come to think of it, I overestimated your IQ."

"Hundan, what do you mean by that!" Shinto immediately counterattacked, but was hugged by Taya into his arms.

"Hikar, don't worry me any more, okay?"

"Um……"

The two hugged each other quietly, enjoying the tranquility of this moment.

The dull and oppressive atmosphere in the ward before disappeared without a trace.

Taya closed her eyes, resting her head on Shinto's shoulder.

He tried his best to ignore the loss that suddenly appeared in his heart.

After all, the aftermath of the battle for the title of Honinbo has passed, and the footsteps of December are quietly moving towards people, and a new round of challenges is slowly kicking off.

The hospitalization incident finally became an opportunity for Shinto and Taya to reconcile.

Of course, it was unavoidable that it also became the laughing stock of He Gu and other bad friends-the dignified seven-foot man ran away from home because of losing chess, and got himself into the hospital in just one night.

Tsk tsk, I really can't help myself if I don't make fun of it.

"Xiao Guang, are you sure you don't need to rest for a few more days?" He Gu asked meanly while suppressing a smile.

"Hmph!" Shinto rarely did not blow his hair, but just snorted.

Kazuya looked at Shinto in surprise, and simply stretched out his hand to try the temperature of his forehead.

"Hey! I don't care as much as you do." Jinto avoided He Gu's salty pig's hand, "By the way, do you know what kind of cups are there in the winter of China, Japan and South Korea?"

Shindo thought about it for a long time, but he still couldn't remember what the cup was called.

"Ah, I know, it's the Winter Rising Sun Cup, I heard it's hosted by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce." He Gu was successfully diverted by the issue of Jindo.

"Oh, the host is China. Will we go to China for the competition?" Shinto suddenly became excited, "I haven't been to China yet! I've heard of Zi...it's from China."

"Huh? What did you say?" He Gu didn't hear Shinto's last words clearly.

Ochi just happened to pass by: "If you say go to China, go to China, heh, the contestant trials haven't started yet, Shinto."

Ochi pushed his eyes expressionlessly, just short of writing 'Your face is really big' on his face.

Shinto completely ignored Kazutani's question and grinned: "I have already received the notification of the seeded players~~~"

"What!" He Gu rushed up, and a kidnapper stuck into Teng's neck, "Why are you, A Guang, being appointed by default?"

Shindo was not afraid of being attacked: "Hehehe, I don't know, anyway, I can play chess with chess players from different countries~~~"

Yijiao stood aside and said calmly: "This time the Rising Sun Cup Three Kingdoms League selects players based on rank and chess strength. Nihon Kiin mainly uses rank as the selection condition, and chess players below the fourth rank can sign up."

Since the 14th year of Pingcheng, that is, after the first "Big Dipper Cup" was held in 2002, due to the attention of Go circles in various countries, the competition system and the form of team competition of the "Big Dipper Cup" have also been affirmed, especially with private companies as the organizers league mode.

For the "Beidou Cup", although the first event was prepared for the company to celebrate its listing, it still attracted many sponsors and investors for the opening of subsequent sessions.At the same time, the form of the international league also plays a certain role in the overseas publicity and overseas trade of domestic enterprises.

Therefore, more and more multinational companies are paying attention to the platform of Go. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce also took a fancy to the influence of low-level chess players among young people and the transnational advantages of international leagues, and decided to test the waters this year.

So, why is the selection of players limited to low-level chess players?

The most fundamental reason, of course, is age.After all, low-level chess players are becoming more and more young, while high-level chess players are often of a certain age. Even if it is a Go team competition, it is still more attractive to people who do not understand Go.

Of course, for passers-by who have a little knowledge of Go, low-level chess players can still understand the game.

In addition, the appearance fees of high-level chess players are also a big hindrance.

After hearing Yijiao's explanation, He Gu said reluctantly, "I'm also a four-dan..."

"If you have the time to complain, it's better to play a few more games of chess." Ochi complained coldly.

These words are mixed with hot and sour, and Gu Mian is not happy with them.

In fact, Ochi is already in the fourth stage, and what He Gu said just overturned the whole boat with one blow.

But what Ochi said was not without reason.

In the past two years, just looking at the performance of young chess players, apart from Taya who has emerged in major tournaments, broke through the siege as a low-level chess player, and completely lived up to the aura of "the noble son of Go", only Shinto In the past year, he has advanced bravely, and some time ago, because of the Honinbo battle, it caused countless topics.However, Taya is already a six-dan chess player, and Shinto is only a four-dan chess player.

Looking at the friends of the college students who followed the same period of Fuji, although some of them have good grades, but there is such a big friend who doesn't know how to attract others.

Although there are different opinions from the outside world, the chess academy always depends on individual performance.

But just looking at it this way, among the chess players of [-]th dan and below, only Jin Tengguang is in the limelight and the situation is very good.

This default name naturally fell on him.

But at the same time, the few chess players who did not get the internal decision and needed to pass the selection, from now on, became competitors with each other.

Take the Beidou Cup, which has been held for two times, as an example.

In the first Hokuto Cup, Ochi, Watani, and others were unable to participate because a young member of the Kansai Chess Institute was killed.

This year, the "Hokuto Cup" was held for the second time. Ochi and Watani fought hard. In the end, the two had a final battle, but the result was unexpected, and the two actually drew.In desperation, the hospital decided based on the record of the two men fighting together during that time, Kosuke Ochi would play.This result has made He Gu angry for a long time, and he is determined to win a game in the "Beidou Cup" next year.

Ke Hegu forgot that the entry limit for the "Beidou Cup" is under the age of 18, and he will be 19 next year, so even if he wants to participate, he will have no chance.Hegu is so angry, he has never participated in the three-person team competition of the Three Kingdoms confrontation!

The past two years of painful selection experience were mixed together, not to mention Ochi and Gu Yinyang's weirdness, even Shinto was gearing up before he knew that he was selected by default, for fear that if he was not careful, the latecomers would seize the opportunity.Even though the "Rising Sun Cup" is just a new three-nation team competition, the competitors are still familiar.

Because of this, Shindo has high expectations for the "Rising Sun Cup" team competition.But he didn't expect that he would make an appointment without selection.Shinto, the bulging hot air balloon, didn't know whether to calm down or continue to cheer up, which made him feel like he was floating in the sky these two days, his heart was stuffy and he lacked oxygen, so he wanted to find someone to scratch it hard.

Yijiao stood aside, watching Kazuya and Ochi enter the selection state in advance, with a wry smile.

He had just been promoted to the third dan some time ago, so logically speaking, he could also sign up for this "Rising Sun Cup".

However, since Yijiao was three to five years older than them, he had no chance to participate in the first "Beidou Cup" and never participated in the selection competition.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone did not react at all, and there was another person present, who was qualified to participate in this team selection competition.

The author has something to say: Yes, a new chapter! [proud face]

It hurts to write...

Organized the timeline:

The beginning of the article is in July and August, late summer and early autumn; then Honinbo is in September and October, because Honinbo is before the professional shogi player exam in October, this refers to the timeline of the Ogata and Kuwamoto Inbo Title Challenge; so now It's November and December.

I will start work tomorrow, and I have no manuscript [I feel my body is hollowed out.jpg]

that's all.

Good night, good night, good night.

2017. 10, 09

Feeling stuck, when I wrote later, I found that the previous setting was wrong.

In April 02, the first Beidou Cup, Shindo was 4 years old, the first stage.

In July and August of 02, Jinto was promoted to the third dan.

In April 03, the second Beidou Cup, Shindo was 4 years old, third dan.

In July 03, Jinto was promoted to the fourth paragraph, which is the time when the article started.

Therefore, the Beidou Cup is only held two times, and it was previously written as three times.

that's all.
