[Soul of Chess] What if

Today is a fine day.

This is the home of Hikari's grandfather Shinto Heihachi.

It's just past noon now, and the warm sunlight shines on the wooden floor of the corridor through the wide eaves. The golden halo makes people feel warm physically and mentally just by looking at it.

Perhaps because of the spring sleepiness, even the birds on the branches seemed a little listless.Except for a few indistinct chirps from time to time, most of the time they droop their eyelids and their little heads move little by little, as if they will fall asleep in the next moment.

The surroundings of the courtyard were quiet, only the crisp sound of the chess pieces colliding with the chessboard could be heard.

It turned out that Ah Guang and Grandpa were playing chess.

I saw Ah Guang and Grandpa sitting on both sides of the chessboard placed in the corridor.

However, the expressions of the two people didn't look so serious, and they would exchange a few words occasionally.It is more appropriate to say that they are chatting rather than playing chess.

Actually, today is not the weekend.However, Aguang did not go to school.

Hmm...how about that?

because--

Golden Week is here! ≥﹏≤

Golden Week, as the name suggests, refers to a seven-day holiday in a row.

From the end of April, most people, whether they are students who have just started a new school year or employees of companies or units, have the opportunity to take a week to ten days off.Because there are many festivals during this period: Showa Day on April 29, Constitution Memorial Day on May [-], National Rest Day on May [-], and Children’s Day on May [-]. Even became a week of GoldenWeek.

In addition, some large factories will add a few days of vacation, so it becomes a ten-day long vacation.

Therefore, this period is called Golden Week.

The weather during this period is very warm and sunny, especially suitable for short trips.Of course, many people will also take this opportunity to travel overseas.

Obviously, Ah Guang was not on the trip.

In the past two days, Ah Guang will come here to play chess with his grandfather.

The reason may be that Ah Guang discovered that he could defeat his grandfather by relying on his own strength! (⊙o⊙)

Ah Guang played the game himself, and played the game first. In this case, he won in the end!

After the game ended, Ah Guang stared at the board tightly, so surprised that he couldn't even speak.

This result has long been accustomed to grandpa.After all, he does lose games sometimes.

But this result is not so simple for Ah Guang.

You must know that the person who won the grandpa first was not me!

In order to confirm that this was not accidental, Ah Guang always came to grandpa's house these two days.

Even though grandpa said at the end of that game of chess: "Well... I always feel that... you are not as good at this game of chess as before..."

But it still couldn't affect Ah Guang's good mood.

Beside Aguang and Grandpa, there is an extremely handsome man dressed in Heian period clothes.

This person is Zoe.

It's just that no one can see Zuo Wei except Ah Guang.

At this moment, Zuo Wei was standing aside with a smile on his face, looking at Ah Guang who was talking and laughing with his grandfather.

Seeing the genuine smile on Ah Guang's face, Zuo Wei also relaxed a little.

I don't know when it started, Zuo Wei faintly noticed that Ah Guang's state seemed to be a little bit bad.

It's just that that depressed mood always disappears in a flash, and when he wants to take a closer look, he can only see A Guang's very sunny and carefree face.

The speed of Ah Guang's emotional change made Zuo Wei couldn't help but suspect that his previous feelings were just his own illusions.

However, since the unpleasant conversation with Taya at the burger restaurant that day, Hikari's mood has become much more obvious.

Aang fell silent.

Ah Guang rarely spoke unless necessary.

During recess, he doesn't move around very much either.He either lay down on the table to rest, or just stood in the corridor, looking out the window silently.

Not only with Taya, but Aguang and Mitani also had a little unhappiness that day.

Although Zuowei was angry about Mitani's behavior, anyway, Mitani was once a friend of Hikaru.What's more, he admired San Gu's chess ability before, so Zuo Wei felt more sad about it.

After that incident, Ah Guang and San Gu never went home together, let alone went to the chess club to play chess together.Even if they met in the corridor, the two would walk straight past as if they hadn't seen each other.

In fact, Ah Guang once tried to save his relationship with San Gu.However, Sangu didn't pay any attention at all.After a few times, Ah Guang's heart gradually dimmed, so he didn't take the initiative to join him anymore.

After repairing the chess club owned by the boss, Ah Guang never went there again after that day.

In addition to continuing the habit of going from the Go classroom to the Internet cafe on weekends as usual, after school every afternoon, Ah Guang would go to the school library to stay for a while.

In the library, Ah Guang didn't do anything.He was just in a daze.

After all, Aguang told Mitsuko's mother before that he joined the Go club. Although he no longer goes to the Go club now, if he goes home too early, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

What's more, Ah Guang didn't seem to want to go home so early.

Ah Guang has something on his mind.Zuo Wei knew this very well.

However, he couldn't think of a specific reason.

He tried to ask several times, but Ah Guang always avoided talking about it.

"Zuowei, don't ask any more questions."

Every time, Ah Guang replied with such a gloomy expression.

Later, he even refused to have any communication with Zuo Wei.

So, although Zuo Wei was very worried, he was helpless.

He had no choice but to observe Ah Guang cautiously, and then tried to figure out from the clues what it was that troubled Ah Guang so much.

Such a dull atmosphere continued until a few days ago.

The sun was about to set when Ah Guang came out of the library that day.

He walked slowly towards home.While passing a park near his home, he stopped suddenly.

After a short pause, Ah Guang walked into the park and sat down on the swing.

At this time, there were already no children playing in the park, so it seemed extraordinarily quiet here.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled down, covering the park with a thin layer of orange-red gauze, which looked hazy and unreal.

Ah Guang stared blankly at the sky.

After such a long silence, he suddenly said: "Hey, Zuowei. Toranojiro... what kind of person is he?"

Hearing Aguang's voice, Zuowei looked at Aguang suspiciously.

However, Ah Guang didn't look back.

He was still looking into the distance persistently, looking very confused.

"Are you asking Tiger Ciro?" Zuowei asked with some puzzlement.

After all, maybe because he didn't care, or maybe because of his pride, Aguang never asked about Hu Cirong.

This is the first time that Hikaru has asked Torah Ciro on his own initiative.Therefore, Zuowei was a little unsure of what Aguang's intention was when he asked this question.

"Yeah." Ah Guang replied simply, but his tone was very solemn.

"Torajiro..." Zuowei thought for a while, then sighed, "Very smart...a very good person..."

Seeing Ah Guang's expression of "I knew it" in an instant, Zuo Wei couldn't help but chuckled, and then he continued to add: "I said this not because he lent me his body. To deny it, there is a certain reason for this. However, not only me, but everyone around Torari thinks so.”

Hearing this, Ah Guang finally looked away.He turned sideways and looked at Zuo Wei intently.

Seeing Hikari's seeming interest, Zuowei slowly talked about his past relationship with Torari.

Zuo Wei's voice was very soft and soothing, mixed with traces of sadness.

With Zuowei's eloquent narration, Honinbo Shuce, the strongest Go player in the history of Go, has also become much more vivid.

According to Zuowei, even though Torano gave him all the chances to play chess, Torano's chess strength is also very strong.

Genan Yinshuo was the head of the Inoue family, one of the four major Go families in the Edo period.

Although Ah Guang is not very clear about the specific significance of the four major families of Go, since this person is the head of this family, his chess skills should be very strong.

When Tora Ciro was 14 years old, in order to compete for the throne of "Kisuo", this person played three games with Tora Ciro's teacher Hidewa.

In the first two games between the two of them, this person named Huanan lost to Torajiro's teacher. If this person loses again in the third game, he will lose his chance to become a celebrity chess player.

Therefore, this person asked himself to take the white stones in the third game, and became aggressive after the opening of the chess game.

Down to mid-range, he laid an extremely ingenious trap.Once Xiuhe is fooled, the big dragon on the upper right will be eaten by Baizi.

At that time, Torano was sitting on the sidelines as Hidekazu's disciple and notation for the teacher.

There were many masters present at the time, but Torajiro was the only one among them who discovered that Genan had set a trap in the chess game.

Seeing that the teacher is about to fall into the trick, Toranojiro deliberately pretended to drop the teacup by mistake, attracting Xiuhe's attention, and then signaled with his eyes, so that Xiuhe noticed the mystery on the chessboard, and finally reversed the situation and defeated Genan.

Tiger Ciro is not only superb in chess, but also has a gentle temperament. He has always treated people with gentleness and elegance, and has never had a dispute with anyone.

He was very filial. He not only reported the results of the game, his living conditions, and what happened in Edo to his family, but also sent money home in the letter.

His calligraphy is very beautiful, and he can also identify porcelain.

……

The reason why he passed away was also because of the era of the plague. He still went to the epidemic area to visit and take care of the sick disciples, but he died of the disease...

After listening to Zuo Wei's narration, Ah Guang didn't say anything.

Twilight had already fallen by this time.

He stood up silently, and then walked towards home.

The author has something to say:

Ah Guang: Bastard! Why haven't you let me show my face these days?

Author: (weakly pointing fingers) Because...Karvin...

I didn't expect to abuse Aguang and the others at the same time that I was also abused 〒▽〒

No matter how you write it, it doesn't feel right.Deleted and changed again, tossing for several days.

I feel sorry for everyone if I post the messy content, but I just disappeared for a few days...(╥﹏╥)
