[Soul of Chess] What if

Zuo Wei looked up at the plaque above his head.

Judging from Ah Guang's previous actions, he thought that coming here was the destination of his trip.But why did Ah Guang come here?

Although it was a bit strange, seeing that Ah Guang had already walked in, Zuo Wei also followed without thinking about it.

Before entering the main entrance, he took a step cautiously.Fortunately, although he is now in the state of a soul, he doesn't feel blocked at all, just like the last time he was in Indo Island.This made him really relieved.

Phew... Originally I thought I would be blocked by these sanctuary barriers... It seems that I was worrying too much ~ ≥﹏≤ Zuo Wei couldn't help but rejoice in his heart.When he raised his head again, he saw that Ah Guang had almost reached the main hall, so he hurriedly adjusted his clothes, and after entering the temple more solemnly, he trotted to Ah Guang's side.

Perhaps because it was still very early, there were almost no people in the temple at this time, and the quaint main hall had an indescribable sense of sacredness under the shroud of morning light.

After a brief visit, Ah Guang turned around and walked straight to the right. He finally slowed down when he came to a cemetery.

In the process of Aguang's march, Zuo Wei has been slowly following Aguang's side with small steps.Looking at the surrounding environment which is unfamiliar but still retains a sense of familiarity, Zuo Wei's doubts in his heart are even greater.

If I remember correctly, he and Toranojiro should have been here before.Because this is the burial place of Honinbo's successive family governors and traces.

But, why did Ah Guang come here on purpose?

Just when Zuo Wei was puzzled, he noticed that Aguang had stopped, and he quickly retracted his steps.When he raised his head, he found a tombstone in front of him, with the words "Tomb of Honinbo Shusaku" engraved on it.

"Torajiro..." Looking at the handwriting on the stele that looked quite old after countless times of wind and sun, Zuowei couldn't help whispering the name he had called countless times.

Zuo Wei couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in at this moment.

You know, he has passed away for thousands of years.Now he is still lingering in the world, and he still sees Toranojiro in such a form, which makes him sigh for the good fortune.

He was staring at the tombstone in a daze, when a figure suddenly broke into his sight - it was Ah Guang.

I saw Ah Guang bent down and gently placed the bouquet of flowers in front of the tomb, then closed his eyes and put his hands together to pay respects earnestly.

Seeing Hikari's actions, Zuowei's doubts along the way were all solved: So Hikari was going to visit Toranojiro.

But why did Ah Guang deliberately choose today?

Seeing that Ah Guang had finished worshiping, he asked out the doubts in his heart.

Hearing his own question, Ah Guang hesitated for a moment, then replied a little embarrassedly: "Well... isn't there a brief introduction of the chess players in front of the chess record? I didn't pay attention to it before, and I just saw it by chance a while ago. Today is Xiu Ce's birthday, so..."

"Today is Toranojiro's birthday?" Zuowei was also surprised.

Seeing his own reaction, Ah Guang squinted and complained: "Hey, why do you look so surprised, don't you know at all?"

When Zuo Wei heard this, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Because he was already six or seven years old when I met Toranojiro, so how could I know his birthday::>_<::"

"Then won't you know it naturally when you celebrate your birthday?" Ah Guang said with disbelief.

Birthday?

Zuowei blinked, presumably it was referring to the celebrations between Mitani and Hikari before, right?He tried his best to recall it, but it seemed that he had never had such an event when he was with Toranojiro, so he said with teary eyes, "But, I didn't have the habit of celebrating birthdays in the past ︿●"

"do not have it?"

"Yeah." Zuo Wei nodded vigorously.

"Wow, when I hear this, I always feel that people in ancient times are so pitiful. It's so interesting to celebrate birthdays!"

Ah Guang frowned with regret.After a pause, he turned around and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Zuo Wei, it's my fault. I didn't understand the way of life of the people in the past, so I presumed that their living habits are the same as those of modern people. It's gone."

Zuo Wei originally just wanted to tease Ah Guang, but now seeing that Ah Guang apologized so solemnly, he quickly turned off the tearful mode: "Ah Guang, you don't need to apologize, it's normal for you not to know about it , after all, Ah Guang did not live in ancient times. ∩__∩”

"So that's how it is...Today is Toranojiro's birthday, and this is the first time I know..." Zuowei murmured softly while looking at the stele.

"But it really scared me."

Hearing Zuo Wei's emotion, Ah Guang asked sideways, "Why do you say that?"

Zuowei thought for a while, and then seriously replied: "Well... because Hikari seldom asks about Toranojiro, and I thought Hikari was not interested in his affairs, so I never thought that Hikari would take the initiative to visit Toranojiro , and it was deliberately chosen on my birthday.”

Not interested... Ah Guang silently repeated in his heart.

No, it would be more appropriate to say "repulsion" rather than disinterest.

Because that person knew Zuo Wei first, he stayed with Zuo Wei for a longer time, knew Zuo Wei better than himself, treated Zuo Wei much better than himself, and didn't let Zuo Wei suffer so much like himself the grievance...

Thinking of what my father said a few days ago, apart from anger, it is more deeply exhausted and helpless.

"Xiaoguang, if possible, I don't want to think too darkly about people."

That day, after seeing off Mr. Ogata, my father deliberately kept Hikaru, then looked into Hikaru's eyes and said very seriously: "However, through the conversation just now, if my guess is correct, Mr. Ogata They should have prepared for the worst from the beginning, and your friend has already been determined to be pushed to the front line if the worst happens."

"In other words, your friend has been set as a 'scapegoat' from the beginning."
