[Soul of Chess] Shugui

Taya went up to the second floor according to the sign, and saw two separate lounges, a smoking room, and a small shop sandwiched in between. Except for these three almost side-by-side rooms, there was a small open space in front, where you could see Foredeck and sea.

Taya looked back and forth in the canteen several times, but still couldn't find the medicine she wanted.I had no choice but to interrupt the salesperson who was watching the TV series with relish, and asked if there was any seasickness medicine sold here.

"There's a little room up front where medicine is sold. There's only snacks and snacks here."

"Thank you."

Taya thanked politely and walked straight across the lounge to the front.Sure enough, I noticed at the front that there was a small pharmacy between the smoking room and the lounge, selling non-prescription drugs and commonly used drugs.

Taya was carrying the medicine and was about to go downstairs, but vaguely heard a familiar voice.

"... Or, it exists to chase after the opponent for a lifetime, to find an opponent who can perform the 'divine skill' with me!..." It was Zidi.

Taya walked over following the sound, and saw two people downstairs through the railing.

I saw Zidi and Jinteng standing side by side, Jinteng lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but Zidi leaned on the railing and looked at the sea, and said firmly and solemnly:

"We... work hard to leave traces of our existence in this world. Besides, Go... needs two equal opponents... to walk together on the road of 'a skill of the gods'!"

Shinto looked at Zidi in confusion, and then shouted excitedly.

The two confronted each other, their fierce words were heavy, and the sea seemed to be silent in this urgency.

Taya only looked at it for a while, and then his whole body became flustered, a tense string in his mind was almost broken, he turned around and ran downstairs.

But what he didn't expect was that in this world, there is a situation called being caught off guard.

Just like when I was 12 years old, after finishing the chess game with Hideki Jibe, I made up my mind to enter the world of professional chess players, but met Hikari Shindo who played chess for the first time on the day his father praised him;

Just like when I was 13 years old, I joined the Go club despite all kinds of obstacles and became the last player just to follow up with Teng and make another game, but I felt that I was fooled and was very disappointed with Shinto;

It's like when I was 14 years old, I took the initiative to go to school to find the bastard who had problems and lost the chain, but only got Shinto's full negation of himself and the decision to give up Go;

It's like so many years have passed unknowingly, and I also unknowingly fall in love with this confused and willful, strong and fragile guy;

Just like now, when I see Jindo and Zidi embracing each other in the sun, the bright sunlight shines on the strands of golden forehead hair hanging on Zidi's shoulders, and more strands of hair and the face that makes my heart move are hidden in the In Zidi's arms.

Taya stood stiffly behind Shinto, clenched his fists but dared not take a step forward.

He saw Shinto say something to Zidi with his face flushed, and then Zidi lowered his head and kissed Shinto's forehead tenderly; he saw Shinto turn around shyly, and then showed a face of astonishment when he saw himself.

In this world, there is another emotion called unexpected.

Zi Di looked at the two people in front of her and sighed softly: she just wanted to comfort her, but she didn't expect it to become an NTR scene.Alas, alas, I really don't care what happens to me, I, a little commoner whom no one loves, should hide as far away as possible.Young people's affairs are left to young people to solve.

"Let's go, we're going back." Zidi walked towards the bus, her tone as casual as usual, "The boat will dock after a while."

From getting on the bus again to entering the Shusaku Memorial Hall of Ishikiri Shrine, the three people who were traveling together were silent.Shinto led the way alone, and Taya and Zidi followed behind.

Turning into the Xiu Ce Memorial Hall along the familiar route, Shindo saw the old lady sweeping the fallen leaves in front of the hall at a glance.

"Hey, Shinto chess player, you're here." Grandma heard footsteps, and when she looked up, she saw Shinto and his party, "Ah, are you still bringing friends? I'll go and pour tea for you."

The hospitable grandma put the broom next to the tree trunk and walked into the cubicle next to the showroom.

Shinto stood in front of the showroom: "This is the Shuce Memorial Hall."

After speaking, he walked in on his own.Zi Di followed closely behind, and kept asking questions beside Jin Teng.Taya looked at the backs of the two, and felt that Go and Shishi, which usually attracted him, had become boring at the moment. He looked around, picked a path at random and walked over.

"Ah, is this the chessboard Honinbo Shusaku used?" Zi Di excitedly turned around in the showroom. The gentle and wise Zi Di seemed to be just an illusion.

"Well, this is the chessboard that Toranojiro and his mother used to play chess." Shinto said, looking at the chessboard Zidi was pointing at.

"Come, come, let's have a cup of tea. It's been hard work getting here." The old lady came out of the small cubicle with tea, "Little girl, if you want to know about these exhibits, you have found the right person. This enter The rattan chess player knows better than me."

The old lady put the tray on the table with a smile: "Ah Jinto chess player, I come here every year to pay homage to Honinbo Shusaku. Sincerely~"

"Yeah, I will come here often, grandma." Zidi said with a smile, and took a sip from her teacup, "Wow, grandma, your tea here is so sweet."

"Haha, I specially entrusted someone to bring this..." Grandma looked at the well-behaved and sweet-mouthed Zidi, and couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

The two sat at the table, and it was you who chatted with each other sentence by sentence.

Shinto looked at the two people who were having a good time talking, and stood beside them like a pillar.

"Ah Guang, Xiao Liang seems to be missing, you go and get him back. As for me, I'll just sit here and chat with grandma. Go, go~~~" Zi Di waved to Jin Teng, saying "go slowly Don't send 'look.

"That's right, where did the other young man go?" Grandma finally came to her senses and asked with concern.

"It's okay, let Ah Guang go find it." Zi Di still smiled, "Grandma, let's continue talking about us."

"well."

Seeing that the two of them were immersed in their own topic again, Shinto had no choice but to go outside.

Taya walked slowly along the path, and the tall trees along the way scattered their fallen leaves.The path gradually extends upwards, and after a while it becomes a long series of bluestone steps.

Taya looked up and found himself in a cemetery.Looking around, it turned out that he had already reached the back of the shrine.

The entire shrine is built on the mountain, and it is also a common plan to have this large cemetery in the open space behind the mountain.It's just that this cemetery is particularly dilapidated and vicissitudes, with traces of time engraved everywhere, giving people a sneaky and empty feeling.

Unknown plants twine around old tombstones.The branches that should have been vibrant became shriveled and yellowed due to the influence of the seasons.But they are still powerfully entwined on the tombstone, interpreting the unswerving until death with the gesture of life.The sun shines on the body through the dead branches and leaves, dispelling the bitter depression brought by the autumn wind.

Taya slowly walked over each tombstone, carefully reading the people recorded on it.Many of the people who have been buried here are famous figures in history, but now they are lying here alone, and no one cares about them.

Could it be that after many years, I will grow old alone like this, sleeping alone in a certain place, with no one around me?

In such an environment, Taya inevitably felt a little bit of self-pity.

He thought, if Shinto was really with Zidi, watching them go in and out together every day, and spend their whole lives together, but he could only stand in the corner, watching jealously and lonely, his heart slowly burning on the fire. Roasting on the ground, suffering, struggling, but nothing can be done.It's pathetic, pathetic, and ridiculous.

Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Taya decided to put this unspeakable emotion in a box, seal it up, and continue to be that proud 'go son'.

Go, go, in my life, only go is really mine!

"Taya?" A familiar voice came from behind, "So you are here."

Looking at the familiar figure in front of him, Shindo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Although Zidi chased him out to look for Taya, he was very upset, but after wandering around for a long time, before seeing Taya's figure, Shinto panicked.He searched back and forth several times, completely ignoring the fact that he had Taya's contact number.

Walking up the familiar trail, Shinto was still thinking wildly in the panic of not being able to find Taya: If Taya is still not found on this road, then let everything go.After all, Zuo Wei is still here looking at me, what I am thinking, he must know, and will definitely bless me.If you find Taya...

Shinto hadn't thought of what to do, but when he raised his eyes, he happened to see a familiar figure from behind, Taya standing alone among the tombstones, exuding an 'aura of mystery' all over his body.

Before he had time to think about it, Shindo's mood changed from nervous to worried.

"What, are you going back?" Taya was startled by Shinto's voice, and asked calmly.

"It's nothing." Shindo carefully restrained his emotions, "I just came to see Xiu Ce's tomb."

"Xiu Ce's tomb is also here?"

"Well, it's just ahead." Shinto pointed in one direction, "I'll take you there."

The two shuttled side by side among the tombstones.

It is clearly a desolate and lonely autumn scene, but at this moment it has become the brightest and most vivid picture in all four seasons.

because of you.

Standing in front of Xiu Ce's tombstone, Shindo felt moved inexplicably.It is not the apology and longing that came every time I came, but sincere thanks.The knot in my heart has been slowly opened, and I have found the most important person when I made a wish.

Zuo Wei, do you also think that I shouldn't just give up?

Taya heard Shinto muttering to himself, turned his head and was about to say something, when he saw Shinto staring at the Xiu Ce monument with a smile on his face.This kind of smile does not have the sunshine and vitality that we usually see, but it makes people feel very warm and comfortable.

Shinto has a face that is perfect for a smile.

Ta Ya was a little bit secretly happy, but also a little bit sour.

This is who I like.Unfortunately, he does not belong to me now.

"Hey, Taya, do you know? If someone hadn't run away from home, I wouldn't know that Xiu Ce's tomb is here. But it was also here that I realized that he didn't run away from home, but really Yes, he's gone..." Shinto met Taya's eyes, "However, even if he's gone, I will replace him and complete his unfinished business!"

"He is, Sai?" Taya looked at Shinto's focused and persistent eyes, and suddenly felt that his giving up was ridiculous.

How could such a beautiful person, whom he likes so much, give up easily because of his gender difference.

"Ah, you, how did you guess that?" Shinto was taken aback.

Taya's eyes lit up, and his thinking started to run quickly: "It's really him? He is Sai, so what does he have to do with Honinbo Shusaku? Could it be that what he wants to accomplish is related to Honinbo Hidesaku? So, that's why you are so interested in Honinbo The title is so persistent?"

He couldn't wait to get to know the person in front of him, whether it was his sunshine or fragility, his smile or his tears, he wanted to know it all.This time, no matter what obstacles he encounters, he will not back down!

"No, no, no, no, I don't know!" Facing the question that Taya was about to find out the truth, all Shindo could do was turn around quickly, "Let's go, it will be too late if we don't go back. Zidi is still waiting for us at the Memorial Hall .”

"Shinto, please make it clear. Is it what I think?!" Taya chased after Shinto.

"I don't know, you fool don't ask!"

"Fool? You are the fool! Didn't you say that you would tell me?"

"But not now, hey, don't ask any more. I'll talk when it's time!" Shoutou was frightened by the aggressive Taya, plugged his ears with his hands and ran away.

"Stop, Shinto!"

……

"Okay, okay. I see. Someday, I'll tell you!" Shinto promised one last time.

Taya put his hands across his chest, believing Shinto's promise.

The train moved towards the terminal smoothly, and night fell.

"Hey, Taya, let's play chess."

"What to play, and there is no chessboard."

"You can play blindfolded chess. Or are you afraid of losing to me in blindfolded chess?"

"Hmph, the aggressive method doesn't work for me." Taya gave Shinto a look of 'self-consciousness', "The small eye in the lower right corner."

"Tch, it's not downloaded yet." Shinto muttered, and then reported, "The upper right corner has a small eye."
