[Soul of Chess] What if

Of course, Ah Guang, who has a big prize, can just think about it.

After all, he hasn't won a big prize for so many years, so it's impossible for his luck to suddenly improve this year, right? ㄟ(▔,▔)ㄏ

The facts are as expected by Ah Guang.

Although he didn't even get the participation prize, Ah Guang was still in a good mood.

Because—this year he received a lot of New Year's certificates~`(*∩_∩*)′

Aguang not only received greeting cards from Tsutsui senior, Mitani, and Xiaoming, but also friends who played well in elementary school also sent New Year greetings. In addition, he also received a New Year's letter from Hetani. o((*^▽^*))o

Ever since we went to the fast food restaurant to eat hamburgers together that day, maybe it was because they felt like each other, Aguang and the two of them had more contact with each other. After Aguang entered a group, they contacted more frequently. It became one piece.When Ah Guang's grades were not satisfactory, Hegu asked himself many times with concern.

Since Hegu and Yijiao are always inseparable, the relationship between Aguang and Yijiao has become closer.

It feels good to have friends~*^____^*

Looking at the carefully written blessings on the New Year's greeting certificates, even though there were only a few words, Ah Guang was so happy that his eyes rolled up.

After the excitement calmed down a little, the whole family continued the previous topic.

"Dream about a white owl?"

After listening to Hikari's narration, Mitsuko's mother repeated in surprise.

"I don't know why, but I always feel that this dream... seems a bit bad..." She looked at her husband with some unease, "Where's Dad? Do you know what this dream means?"

"This..."

Zhengfu thought hard for a while, and then replied apologetically: "To be honest, I really don't know very well..."

"Anyway, after going to Sensoji Temple, I'm going to visit my father, maybe they will know something." After thinking for a while, he added.

Although a little helpless, it seems that this is a good proposal so far, and Mitsuko nodded in agreement: "Well... let's do it this way."

So, after putting on their festive costumes, they headed towards Sensoji Temple.

New Year's Day is the first day of the new year, and it is also a day to pray for luck, happiness and make plans for the new year.

On this day, many families visit the shrine or nearby temples for the first time to pray for a safe year.And the first visit in this new year is also called "Chuyi", also known as "Chucan" or "Chushe".

Since the bell rings on New Year’s Eve, millions of people will flock to shrines or temples to pray for blessings. Therefore, the transportation department operates all night on New Year’s Eve, and all shrines also open their doors to welcome worshipers.

Most people living in Tokyo choose to go to Meiji Jingu Shrine or Sensoji Temple to pray, so along the way, Aguang and the others met many neighbors, including Akira Fujisaki's family.

After saying "Congratulations on the New Year" to each other, several families went together.

The adults chatted with each other about trivial matters, and the children talked about topics of interest to each other, or played around.

Along the way, Xiao Ming wanted to say something to Ah Guang, but seeing that Ah Guang didn't seem interested, she gave up even though it was a pity.

Ah Guang looked at the delicate surroundings boredly while walking.

To be honest, Aguang doesn’t like to go to Sensoji Temple during the Chinese New Year, because there are too many people who go to worship, and every time he goes, he has the illusion that he will be squashed. ≡≡

It's a pity that worship is an essential item for the New Year.

I really hope that there will be fewer people queuing up this time... Although this is impossible... (︶︿︶) Thinking of this, Ah Guang couldn't help but sigh.

Hmm... Having said that... Ah Guang looked around.

Although the New Year’s atmosphere on the street is not very strong, but because Kadatsu and Shimenawa are decorated in front of every house, and some people paste paper-cuts of animals that symbolize longevity, such as cranes and turtles, outside their houses. Come on, it's still a bit old-fashioned.Why didn't I discover it before?

For this new discovery, Ah Guang sighed in his heart with a little surprise.

The closer we got to Sensoji Temple, the more people there were.

Compared with his peers who cheered and ran over to the food stall when they saw it, and refused to move no matter how the adults called, Ah Guang, who had been standing quietly beside his parents, seemed a bit abrupt.

Recalling Aguang's past performance, Mitsuko couldn't help feeling a little strange, so she looked at Aguang suspiciously: "Xiaoguang, don't you want to buy some?"

"No, I don't really want to eat now." A Guang replied seriously.

"Is it really not necessary?" Mitsuko didn't seem to believe it.

"Really!" In order to increase the credibility, Ah Guang nodded emphatically, "Mom, let's hurry up and line up at Guanyin Hall, I want to go to grandpa's house earlier! :-D"

As he spoke, he tugged on Ramitsuko's sleeve.

Seeing that Aguang was so persistent, Mitsuko and Masao stopped staying here.

After all, there are as many people coming here today to pray for blessings as in previous years. If you don’t line up earlier, it is estimated that you will not be able to complete the worship ceremony by noon.

Seeing that Mitsuko's mother believed his words, Ah Guang secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Before leaving, Ah Guang couldn't help but sneak a glance at the stall selling Ningyoyaki not far away, and then unconsciously pursed his lower lip.

Although he quickly looked away, Mitsuko still noticed his small movements.

"Xiao Guang." After thinking for a while, she called Ah Guang softly.

After hearing his mother's voice, Aguang immediately looked at Mitsuko, waiting for her next words.

"Can I ask you something?" Mitsuko said apologetically.

Although his heart was full of doubts, Ah Guang replied affirmatively: "No problem!"

Hearing Hikaru's answer, Mitsuko's expression relaxed a bit.Then, she took out a few banknotes from her handbag and handed them to Ah Guang.

Looking at the several 1000 yuan banknotes in front of him, Ah Guang became even more confused.He didn't take the money, but looked at Mitsuko with puzzled eyes: "This is...?"

Perhaps feeling Hikari's confusion, Mitsuko explained with some embarrassment: "Well... I don't know why, I suddenly miss the taste of Ningyoyaki... But the people around there are basically children... So, Can I ask Xiaoguang to buy some for my mother?"

For a moment, Ah Guang thought that his mother had seen his previous actions.

However, looking at Mitsuko's mother's really distressed look, and her eyes full of anticipation, Ah Guang felt that he should be thinking too much.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally took the notes.

"Are you buying Ningyoyaki for all?"

Before turning around, Hikaru asked Mitsuko uncertainly.

After all, it would be too much to buy Ningyoyaki with all the money...Of course, if you really like to eat it, it's a different matter.

However, does mother really like to eat such things?

For this question, Ah Guang had no answer in his heart.Because he had never seen Mitsuko's mother buy such snacks to eat.

Hearing Aguang's question, Mitsuko frowned and thought hard for a while, then she tapped her palm lightly: "Then, let's have some more candies and meatballs!"

"Then I'll leave it to Hikari! ^_^" Before Hikari left, Mitsuko said with a smile.

There are so many people who come to the food stalls to buy things... (; [-]_[-])

Ah Guang waited in line for a long time to buy everything. After finally buying, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Strangely, after he finally squeezed out of the crowd, he didn't see his parents.

Just when he was at a loss, Xiao Ming walked over.

"Xiao Guang, you bought so many at once?" Seeing that Ah Guang's hands were full of snacks, she couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing that Ah Guang's expression turned embarrassing for a moment, Xiao Ming quickly covered his mouth in annoyance.Thinking of her own reason for coming, she quickly said: "By the way, my aunt asked me to tell you that after you finish eating these things, you can go to Guanyin Hall to find them."

"Huh—?!" Ah Guang was stunned.

Soon he realized that Mitsuko's mother must have seen his little movements.

Since the snacks he bought had to be eaten near the food stalls, after all, it would be rude to eat while walking, so it was impossible for Ah Guang to take these things to the Guanyin Hall to meet his parents.

In other words, these things were actually bought by Mitsuko's mother early in the morning for herself.

"Really..." He lowered his head and murmured softly, not letting Xiao Ming see his slightly moist eye sockets.

After finally calming down, Ah Guang raised the snack in his hand to Xiao Ming: "Would you like some?"

After all, it is impossible for him to deal with so much food with his fighting power alone.

Although he doesn't know whether Xiao Ming likes to eat these things, or how much Xiao Ming can help him, it will be better if there is one more person.He thought so, so he sent an invitation to Xiao Ming.

Hearing Ah Guang's question, Xiao Ming froze for a moment.After finally regaining her senses, she asked joyfully, "Is it really possible?"

"Yeah!" Ah Guang nodded affirmatively, and at the same time moved the food in his hand towards Xiao Ming, "You can take whatever you like."

"Thank you, Xiaoguang! O(∩_∩)O" Xiao Ming said happily, and then took one or two symbolically, held them in his hand and tasted them in small bites, as if they were some extremely precious delicacies.

"You don't need to be so polite!" Ah Guang thought that Xiao Ming was embarrassed to take it, so he stuffed some more into Xiao Ming's hand.
