[Soul of Chess] What if

After the conversation with his father ended that day, Ah Guang returned to his room with the box in his arms.He and Zuo Wei were relatively silent for a long time, and in the end he couldn't bear to break the silence first.

"... Zuo Wei, what do you think about this matter?" Aguang eagerly wanted to know Zuo Wei's current thoughts, so as to guess Zuo Wei's current inner state based on this.

"Hmm..." Zuo Wei blinked his eyes and thought for a while, "Actually, I don't feel much. If I have to say it, I should have some regrets."

"It's just a pity?" Ah Guang looked disbelieving.

Seeing this, Zuo Wei couldn't help but sighed lightly, and then said in a serious tone: "Well, yes."

"As Mr. Ogata said, the current achievements of Sai are all achieved with the strong support of the Kiin, and now they propose to take back the achievements condensed on it, so as a beneficiary, I should return it. After all, they gave it all in the first place."

"But!"

"Ah Guang, I understand how you feel, but this is indeed the truth." Seeing Aguang's eager look, Zuo Wei comforted him, "Although we didn't ask for it at the beginning, we didn't express it clearly. Refusal, isn't it? You can't take it for granted just because you didn't ask for it on your own initiative. "

Ah Guang pursed his mouth, and seemed to disagree with this statement, but he did not argue again.

Zuo Wei smiled and continued: "It is because of the coordination of the chess academy that I can play against so many professional chess players, and I also have the opportunity to communicate with top chess players from all over the world in official competitions."

"From this point of view, the status I currently have in the Go world in the name of sai is indeed based on the many sacrifices made by the Qi Academy. Therefore, when they expressed that they would take back the fruits of their care Then, what reason do we have to refuse?"

"Because of this, I was not too surprised when I learned of their intentions. The reason why I feel a little regretful is that I may never have the chance to use the name 'sai' in the future. I feel a little sad, that’s all.”

When Zuo Wei said these words, Aguang has been listening quietly from the side.

After listening to his own explanation, Ah Guang lowered his eyes, as if he was understanding the meaning of the words.After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Even if it's really like Dad said, it doesn't matter if you completely lose your place in the Go world?"

Hikari, are you feeling sorry for me?

What a gentle and kind child... Zuo Wei's eyes couldn't help softening a lot: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that I have more important things to do now, so I don't care so much about it gone."

"More important things?" Ah Guang repeated in doubt, and then asked, "What is it?"

"It is to train Ah Guang to be a qualified opponent. Didn't I say it before? And Ah Guang has already promised me." Zuo Wei replied with a smile in his eyes.

Because that's the only thing I can do for you.

"That's it..." Ah Guang murmured in a low voice.

Zuo Wei put his hand on Ah Guang's shoulder lightly, he looked at the other party intently, and said in a gentle tone: "So Ah Guang, they can use that name as they want, don't worry about it. It’s too much of a concern.”

Don't get involved anymore, those people are not something you as a child can handle.If you continue, you are bound to get hurt.

"Ah Guang now only needs to study Go seriously, work hard to improve his Go strength, and strive to grow into a very powerful opponent earlier, that's all."

You have already carried too many burdens for me that children of this age should not bear.Enough is enough, stop burdening yourself.

"Can you understand what I mean?" He looked at Ah Guang and asked.

Hearing Zuowei's question, Hikaru did not answer immediately, but turned his face slightly to the right, avoiding Zuowei's sight.

fraud.

Ah Guang said in his heart.

Zuo Wei didn't believe a word of what Zuo Wei said just now, and after listening to the high-sounding remarks, he was even more sure that Zuo Wei just didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

In fact, Ah Guang knew very well in his heart that as a child, he could do nothing with his own strength alone.

Although his father said he would help him, the reason why he was willing to help him was because he was his father's child.

Dad doesn't seem to like Zuo Wei very much, and Aguang had this feeling in the previous conversation.Especially after learning that he was involved in a lot of troubles because of Zuo Wei's existence as a child, even though he didn't show it, Ah Guang knew that his father should be angry.

Ah Guang knew in his heart that the reason why his father did this was because he cared too much about himself, and he was reluctant to let himself suffer even the slightest bit of harm.

With such caring and loving family members, Ah Guang has nothing to complain about.However, such an attitude has a different meaning to Zuo Wei.

Ah Guang finally figured it out. The reason why Zuo Wei suddenly proposed to train himself to be his opponent at that time must be influenced by his father's conversation.Otherwise, why didn't he mention it sooner or later, but why did he say that after his father finished talking with himself?

It's the same now, they have been bullied like this, but they choose to give in because they don't want to cause trouble for themselves.In order not to make myself suspicious, I deliberately made up such a lot of lies, and said them so well that I almost believed them to be true.

After realizing this, Ah Guang only felt a little complicated.

You know, Go has been an obsession for Zuo Wei for thousands of years.

Until now, Aguang still clearly remembers that after Zuo Wei woke up from the chessboard, when he was able to play chess again, he was so happy that he couldn't help crying.

However, it is Zuo Wei who likes Go so much, and Zuo Wei who is so eager to play against others, but now he chooses to bear the consequences of completely losing his place in the Go world for himself.

Thinking about it this way, Ah Guang wanted to cry inexplicably.

It turns out that I am already more important than Go in Zuo Wei's mind... But Zuo Wei, how can you think that I can continue to remain indifferent after witnessing you being bullied like this with my own eyes?

We are obviously closer partners than anyone else!So, no matter how weak my strength is, I will stand firmly in front of you and protect you.Why can't you trust me a little more?

Although Zuo Wei seemed to be planning to bear all this silently, Ah Guang couldn't do it anyway.

Whether it's the moths who shamelessly encroach on the chess academy, or the leadership of the chess academy headed by Mr. Ogata who threatens Zuowei, Aguang has no good feelings at all.If there was any gratitude towards the Chess Academy before, it is all gone now because of their despicable deeds.

Although the hope is slim, he does not have no chance of winning, at least he still holds the last trump card in his hand, that is - to stand up and say that he is Sai.

But since it was his last trump card, Ah Guang would not use it lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.And if he really got to that point, he must try his best to make this card play the greatest effect, so that those people can get the lessons they deserve.

Of course, Ah Guang would not attack rashly when his strength was still weak, after all he still understood the principle of hitting a stone with a pebble.Before that, he would build up his strength little by little, as his father said, and then deal the deadliest blow when the opponent was completely defenseless!

However, Zuo Wei cannot let Zuo Wei know about such an idea, because he will definitely oppose it.That being the case, then...

Ah Guang took a deep breath, looked directly at Zuo Wei and replied softly, "Well, I understand."

"Huh... you just understand." Zuo Wei smiled gratifiedly.

Looking at Zuowei's seemingly relieved look, Aguang reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth and showed a shallow smile.

The author has something to say:

It's over... It's over, the story seems to be going in a strange direction (cover face)

Zuowei, I'm sorry for you, Aguang is no longer that soft and cute kid (;へ:)
