[Soul of Chess] What if

After listening to He Gu's words, Ah Guang was stunned for a long time.It was hard for him to find his voice: "So, what happened just now was just acting?"

What responded to him was He Gu's unusually bright smile.

Perhaps because he couldn't bear to look directly at Aguang's sad little eyes, Yijiao averted his eyes slightly.

After all, I am also one of the instigators...

"Hey, Yijiao."

After the game this morning, when he was arranging the chess pieces, Kazuya on the opposite side whispered to himself with a little eagerness.

"What's the matter?" Yijiao stopped what he was doing, and looked at the other party puzzled.

He Gu pointed in the direction of Jin Teng, and whispered: "He is here today!"

Yijiao looked at Shinto who was not far away, he was indeed here today.However, looking at He Gushen's mysterious appearance, is there any problem here?Yijiao is a little confused.

"Yeah." He responded briefly, then wondered, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you think it's strange? He asked for sick leave before! But how can he look sick now?" Yijiao's reaction was too flat, so Hegu was a little emotional when he said this.Even so, he took care to keep his voice down.

Ikaku turned his head and observed Shinto while replying: "Indeed...it looks normal..."

"Maybe your body has recovered?"

To be honest, Yijiao didn't quite understand the reason why Hegu was so concerned about this, so he casually mentioned a situation that he thought was more likely.

He Gu obviously couldn't accept his statement: "How is it possible! It's only been a week. If it's a disease that's too serious to come back, it doesn't make sense to heal so soon."

"Hmm... or a less serious illness? Like a fever or something." Yijiao thought about it seriously, and then expressed his guess.

He Gu couldn't help curling his lips: "Just asking for leave because of that little illness? That's too..."

He Gu was interrupted by Yijiao before he finished speaking: "He Gu, not everyone can continue to participate in training when they are not feeling well. We can't use our own standards to ask others, that is too harsh gone."

"Oh..." Yi Jiao's words were not unreasonable, so he stopped talking with Gu.

He Gu is really a child...

Seeing He Gu's face with everything written on his face, Yi Jiao sighed helplessly in his heart.

He lowered his head, intending to continue to put away the disk, but heard He Gu say: "But, there is also a problem with the leave he asked for last time!"

Now he couldn't help being surprised: "Huh? How do you say that?"

Seeing that Yijiao was finally a little interested in this, He Gu quickly talked about his discovery: "He asked Mr. Shinoda for a leave of absence, saying that the school had an important exam so he couldn't come, but ah, it was November at that time. There may be some exams arranged."

"Indeed..." Yijiao nodded in agreement, thinking of a possibility, he added, "However, could it be a quiz or something?"

He Gu didn't think so: "If it's that kind of small test, it doesn't make sense to get the news in advance."

"Yes, the teacher usually comes in with the papers in his arms, which catches people off guard." Yi Jiao said with concern.

"Right?"

"So I think he must be doing other things when he asks for leave." Hegu's eyes sparkled when he said this.

Realizing that Hegu should have guessed something, Yijiao asked impatiently, "For example?"

"For example——" He Gu paused on purpose, and only after Yi Jiao's attention was fully shifted did he express his guess, "Watching Sai's game."

"Eh--?!"

Yi Jiao almost exclaimed, but luckily he covered his mouth in time.This answer was too unbelievable, so he asked, "Why do you say that?"

"My teacher holds a certain position in the chess academy, so he already knew the news that the board of directors decided to let Sai play in advance. The game was scheduled for last Saturday, which is the day when Shinto asked for leave."

"It turns out that you already knew that Sai was going to play against Wang Lei of the Chinese team that day. You knew that we should go to see that match." Yi Jiao looked regretful.

Yi Jiao originally knew nothing about computers, let alone playing Go with a computer.However, because there is such a friend who admires Sai very much by his side, Yijiao has also heard about this strongest chess player on the Internet under Hegu's continuous popular science.

One day after the training day, after the training, He Gu arranged a game of chess between Sai and Teacher Taya for himself.He Gu said that it was the game record of the fourth game.

After watching that game, Yijiao finally understood the reason why Hegu admired sai so much, and he also began to get familiar with Internet Go with Hegu's help.

Because of this, after hearing that there was a sai game that day, he couldn't help feeling annoyed that he couldn't watch the game.

"Impossible..." He Gu explained dumbfoundedly, "Although the competition venue is arranged on the seventh floor, and the review room on the side can also watch the competition, but those two places are not allowed to enter by non-related personnel. .”

"That's it..." Yijiao sighed regretfully.

Thinking of Hetani's previous speculation, Yijiao asked: "Then even if Shindo asked for leave to watch the game, he should not be able to enter, right?"

"You can watch it online!" He Gu quickly answered his question.

"Online?" Yijiao repeated in a daze.

"That's right!" He Gu nodded affirmatively, "All matches of sai in official matches will be broadcast live on the Internet, and there will be representatives to supervise the game process. OK."

In this way, Shindo can indeed watch the game in real time, but...

"Could it be just a coincidence?" He was still skeptical about He Gu's guess.

"No. If it's only this time, then it can be explained by coincidence, but the last time Shinto asked for leave happened to be on the day when Sai had a competition~ Are these two times just a coincidence?" He Gu asked back.

Although the bottom of my heart is already somewhat biased towards Kazuya's statement, Yijiao still finds it a little unbelievable: "But...it should be impossible to take time off to watch Sai's game or something? I don't usually show too much enthusiasm for Sai Jinto? I haven't heard him talk about sai or Internet Go."

"Why don't we ask him himself and see what he says?" He Gu suggested.

"Although this is okay... But even if it is true, he probably won't admit it, right?" Yijiao said hesitantly.

"Then why don't we cheat him a bit? Pretend to pretend that we have obtained definite evidence, and see how he will react?"

Seeing Hegu's excited look, Yijiao sighed deeply, and looked at him disapprovingly: "Hegu, you're lying like this, right?"

"Uh..." Hegu scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "This is just a joke! It shouldn't be considered a lie, right? Besides, doesn't Yijiao really want to know?"

"That's right..."

Seeing that Yijiao was hesitant, Hegu hit the iron while it was hot: "Anyway, it's just a question, isn't it normal for friends to care and greet each other! Even if he really asked for leave to watch the game, we won't tell others, and we don't care about him." It won't make a difference."

"Okay..." Yijiao finally agreed, and before He Gu cheered, he immediately added, "But, only this time."

"I know~" He Gu waved his hand casually.

So, during the lunch break, the previous scene appeared.

As for the two people, why don't they think that Ah Guang asked for leave to escape training?

Well... that can only be said to be because of the feeling... ==

Although this answer was somewhat irresponsible, they actually felt that Shinto would not be the kind of person who asked for leave to avoid training.

Although Shinto is not obsessed with Go, his attitude is quite serious. Whether it is usual practice or discussing chess records with everyone, he is doing it very hard, so they don’t think that Shinto’s leave is for be lazy.

In their view, there should be some unavoidable reason why Shinto did not come to the training.

So subconsciously they denied the possibility of Shindo being lazy.

Ah Guang doesn't know what the two discussed before, but he regrets it now~

Because, this time, he really didn't ask himself...

If he insists that something is wrong with him, even if the other party doesn't believe it, there is no way to verify it, right?

Just when he was so regretful that he was beating his chest and feet in his heart, he heard He Gu sigh: "But you are too crazy! In order to watch the live broadcast of Sai's game, you actually asked for leave from the chess academy twice!"

"Huh?" Ah Guang was stunned for a moment, and he blinked his eyes puzzled.

what?

Take time off to watch Sai's live broadcast?

I?

"Oh, you don't need to hide it anymore, we already know!" He Gu said in a tone that sees through everything.

"I didn't expect you to admire Sai so much. I didn't see it before!" He Gu said and patted Hikaru on the shoulder, "Actually, I understand you very well. The one who skipped the game~! But thinking of my teacher's reaction, I finally gave up..."

"You're talking about the time of the professional chess player exam?" Yijiao interjected from the side.

"Yeah, it was that time." He Gu nodded affirmatively, "Fortunately, I caught up with it in the end, and I saw everything! Otherwise, I will regret it to death::>_<::"

After hearing He Gu's answer, Yijiao was puzzled and said, "But it's not too early after the exam that day, so there shouldn't be a way to see everything, right?"

"Huh? Don't you know? In that competition, Mr. Zama chose to let Sai hold the black first!" He Gu explained indignantly.

"What?!" Yijiao was surprised.

"This is the first time this happened, and Sai probably didn't know what to do, so the start of the game was delayed a bit. But in the end, he still KO'd Zama-sensei cleanly O(∩_∩)O~ "

The author has something to say:

He Gu thought that Hikari asked for leave to watch the game... :P

Everyone is so good, I guessed it all at once

There are actually 400 people who have collected it!Thinking of so many people listening to my story, I suddenly feel so happy!
