[Soul of Chess] What if

Ah Guang has no time to care about whether the other party is aware of his gaffe.

What Mr. Ogata said just now was like a boulder thrown into the lake, which suddenly broke the calmness that Aguang had barely maintained.He only felt a "buzz", and the next moment, his whole mind became a mess.

Did dad really tell Mr. Ogata everything?

Should not be!

Ah Guang didn't want to believe it anyway.Because in his opinion, if someone specifically asks Dad about this matter, with Dad's sharp mind, he will definitely realize that there may be some problems in it, and then he will have reservations when answering, instead of being so blank Confidentially defensively.It is precisely because of this that Ah Guang thought of asking his father for help. (Although there is also an element that the voices of Dad and Zuo Wei are very close...)

That's the way things were supposed to develop.

But now...

Ah Guang unconsciously raised his eyelids, and after meeting the other party's clear sight unexpectedly, he hastily lowered his head in a little embarrassment.

Mr. Ogata looked very confident... Aguang sighed silently in his heart.

Not only did he come directly to the school to find him, but he also acted so confidently that it seemed that Mr. Ogata might have met his father, or he might have let his father listen to the recording.

Although I don't know what Mr. Ogata and Dad said, but Mr. Ogata is already doubting himself now.

What should I do now?Ah Guang was a little undecided for a while.

If Dad really told the whole story, then his denial would only increase his suspicion; if Dad had reservations when answering, then he still had room to turn around.

The problem is, it is impossible for him to know the content of the conversation between the two of them now...

What the hell should I do now?Ah Guang couldn't help biting his lower lip.

Just when Ah Guang was in great distress, he suddenly felt someone put his hand gently on his shoulder.He turned his head slightly, and then just looked into a pair of gentle and steady eyes.

"Zuowei... What should we do now? Mr. Ogata, he seems to know that I recorded that recording." Aguang looked at Zuowei as if asking for help.

As if seeing the uneasiness in Ah Guang's heart, Zuo Wei comforted him softly: "Ah Guang, calm down, don't fall into the other party's trap."

The short words unexpectedly have the power to calm people's hearts, and Ah Guang's flustered emotions gradually calmed down.Thinking of what Zuo Wei said just now, he asked suspiciously: "Zuo Wei, what do you mean by 'don't fall into the trap of the other party' you just said? Could it be that Mr. Ogata lied to us? In fact, Dad didn't After listening to that recording, even Dad and Mr. Ogata have never met, is that what you mean?"

Zuo Wei shook his head slightly: "No, I think they may have met, and Mr. Ogata may have indeed let Dad listen to that recording."

"Then...?" Ah Guang was even more confused.

"However, I don't think the facts are as bad as Aguang imagined." Zuowei explained slowly, "Mr. Ogata just said that Dad has admitted that he made the recording, but he didn't Said that Dad admitted that you asked him to record that recording. That is to say, Dad probably didn’t tell Mr. Ogata what happened.”

"...Really?" Although Zuowei's explanation sounded reasonable, Aguang still seemed a little hesitant.

"Ah Guang, think about it, if Mr. Ogata really knew that you asked your father to record that recording, why didn't he just ask about it after bringing you here, instead of going to such lengths to talk to him about it?" How about you play chess?"

Seeing Aguang's thoughtful look, Zuowei continued: "This shows that Mr. Ogata should not have received any definite information about Aguang's role in the whole incident. What he is doing now Everything should be just to test you."

"!"

After Jing Zuowei said this, Ah Guang realized something was wrong.

That's right, if Dad really told Mr. Ogata that he asked him to record that recording, then Mr. Ogata should directly ask himself about Sai.Really, how could such an obvious thing be ignored by myself?

Thinking of it this way, he looked at Zuo Wei with a face of gratitude: "Zuo Wei, fortunately, you are here..."

"But Hikari, we can't take it lightly now. The reason why Hikari almost lost his position is because Mr. Ogata cleverly used his conversation skills to mislead Hikari." At this point, Zuo Wei looked at the opposite side of the chessboard with a serious expression That figure, "Mr. Ogata first deepened Hikari's inner anxiety step by step, and then said 'Your father has admitted that he recorded this recording' when Hikari's nerves reached a critical point." if."

"Although there is no mention of Aguang in this sentence, because this sentence was said to Aguang, and Aguang was already in a state of high tension at this time, it was misunderstood that this sentence The words imply that the other party already knows everything, and this is exactly what the other party expects. Because in this way, he can know the truth he wants to know without any effort."

Ah Guang swallowed his saliva with difficulty: "...so that's how it is."

"But it doesn't matter," Zuowei smiled slightly, "Because Mr. Ogata is facing Hikaru and me. As long as we work together, we will be able to get through the difficulties smoothly. Absolutely! *^____^*"

As if encouraged by Zuo Wei, Ah Guang nodded vigorously: "Yeah!"

"Don't be nervous. Because my purpose is not to find out Sai's true identity, so you don't have to be so defensive about me."

Just as Ah Guang stabilized his mind, he heard Ogata say this.Thinking that he almost fell into the opponent's trap just now, even though his expression was not obvious, Ah Guang hastily and calmly pulled up the cordon in his heart.

As if not aware of Hikaru's vigilance, Ogata continued to say nonchalantly: "Although Sai's true identity is indeed very curious. However, since I can often play against Sai in normal times, we can also play against Sai in official competitions." To be able to meet, even knowing it is just icing on the cake, so Sai's true identity is not particularly attractive to me."

Can you play chess with sai regularly?Ah Guang was slightly taken aback.

I remember that Zelda seems to be the only person who often sends chess game requests on the Internet.Unexpectedly, Mr. Ogata is actually one of the users of zelda... ●﹏●

But even knowing this now is not of much use::>_<::

After a short pause, Ogata looked directly at Aguang and said slowly: "I just hope that Sai will stop donating the winnings to the Chess Academy."

This answer is too unexpected.

Do not donate the prize money to the Chess Academy?

Why did Mr. Ogata make such a suggestion?

Obviously doing this is only more conducive to the development of the public welfare undertakings of the Chess Academy, and it shouldn't hinder anyone's interests, right?

Ah Guang couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.Unexpectedly, after hearing his own question, Mr. Ogata smiled happily: "It is beneficial to the development of public welfare undertakings? Hehe, this is just the rhetoric of the Chess Academy to the outside world. I didn't expect you to believe it. This is really too much." It's interesting~ well, but it's not incomprehensible, after all, you're just a child."

When someone said this, Ah Guang retorted with a look of disbelief: "What, you said it as if you knew everything."

"That's right, I do know the true purpose of the sai bonus." Ogata said with a look of course.

"The real purpose of the sai bonus?" Aguang repeated in doubt, "Since you said that you are very clear, then tell me, what is the real purpose of the sai bonus?"

Of course Ogata saw the clear disbelief on Aguang's face.He slightly bent the corner of his mouth, and deliberately answered meaningfully: "That is——to fill the huge debt of the Chess Academy~"

"?!" Ah Guang opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

The reason why Aguang was so surprised was not just because of what Mr. Ogata said, but because he had heard such content before.

Yes, San Gu mentioned something similar during the lunch break.

He didn't really believe it at first, but now that even Mr. Ogata has said so, could it be said that Qiyuan really used Zuowei's bonus to fill the debt? !

"The Chess Institute has been suffering from a financial deficit for a long time, you should have heard of it?"

There was a hint of a smile in Mr. Ogata's tone, as if he was making fun of Hikaru's childish rebuttal before, and also seemed to be laughing at him for blindly believing the official rhetoric.

Despite his unwillingness, Hikaru nodded stiffly to Mr. Ogata's question.

"So, do you know how much the Chess Academy has owed over the years?" Without waiting for A Guang to answer, he announced the answer directly, "It's 15 billion."

"Ten... 15 billion?!" Ah Guang was completely stunned.

"That's right. And the Chess Academy is still in a state of loss. I believe that the debt of the Chess Academy will become even more alarming in the near future. If it continues to lose money like this, it may not be long before the existence of the Chess Academy will completely collapse."

While saying this, a faint smile of unknown meaning appeared on Mr. Ogata's face.Then, he changed the subject: "However, the appearance of sai has slowed down the process of the chess academy's collapse. It is precisely because of the support of sai bonuses that it can continue to survive. And this is exactly what I don't want to see. "

"what?!"

"That's why I tried my best to find Sai, just to tell him: Please don't donate the prize money to the chess academy." Having said that, Mr. Ogata turned his attention to Hikaru.

Ah Guang opened his mouth halfway, and didn't speak for a while.It seemed like a long, long time before he finally found his voice.

"What if... what if Sai doesn't agree?" He heard himself ask in a hoarse voice.

"Disagree?" Mr. Ogata raised his eyebrows with great interest, "Then, in order to achieve my goal, I have no choice but to resort to some extraordinary means."
