[Soul of Chess] What if

"Shinto, someone is looking for you outside!"

After the school bell rang, Ah Guang was packing his schoolbag when he suddenly heard a classmate who was seated at the door shouting.

At this time, who will come to find me?

Ah Guang stopped what he was doing and walked out of the classroom full of doubts.

After seeing the person who came, Ah Guang felt even more puzzled.

Tsutsui-senpai, whom he had met several times before, was standing in the corridor outside the classroom.

Even though he was standing with his back to the classroom, Aguang could still feel the strong uneasiness emanating from him.

"Tsutsui-senpai?"

Hearing Hikaru's voice, Tsutsui-senpai hurriedly turned around in a little panic: "Ah... Shindo."

He hesitated for a long time, as if organizing his words.

"Tsutsui-senpai, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Aguang waited for a while, seeing that Tsutsui-senpai still didn't seem to speak, so he couldn't help but speak out.

Tsutsui took a deep breath, and seemed to have finally made up his mind to speak: "Um... Shindo, can I ask you to participate in the team competition?"

"Team competition?" Ah Guang repeated.

Ah Guang always felt that he had heard this word before...

Ah!

The one called Kaga was mentioned in the last school celebration!

……

"Tsutsui, didn't you want to set up a Go club? Didn't you try your best to find someone, and said that as long as you get three people to participate in the team competition, the school is willing to recognize it as an official club?"

"If you offer good conditions, I can reluctantly participate! My Go strength is a thousand times stronger than yours!"

……

"Ah, it's the Go tournament in middle school. The game adopts a team system, with teams of three, and as long as you win two out of three games, you will win." Tsutsui thought that Hikaru didn't understand the meaning of the team game, so he briefly explained it.

"It turned out to be like this. Then after the last school celebration, did you go to the competition?" Thinking of what Kaga said before, Aguang was a little curious.

Hearing Aguang's question, Tsutsui looked a little embarrassed: "No... because I couldn't make up three people, I couldn't participate in the competition."

"The competition will be held in less than a month. But until now, I haven't got enough three people... That's why I want to ask you." Tsutsui explained his reason for coming to Aguang.

Ah Guang didn't answer right away, but asked, "Then...how many people are there?"

"..." Tsutsui hesitated for a moment, "I am the only one now... If you agree, there is only one person left..."

"I'm in the third grade now. That is to say, I only have two chances to participate in the competition. If I haven't participated in a competition until graduation, I always feel a little bit unwilling... That's why I came here thinking, please try Try it." Tsutsui lowered his eyes.

His voice is very soft, but it always sounds a little heavy.

"Senior Tsutsui, have you...haven't you participated in a competition before?" Aguang asked hesitantly.

Tsutsui smiled wryly: "Well, yes. It's useless, I..."

"Tsutsui-san!"

Tsutsui looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Teacher Yuzi who was the consultant of the Go Club.So he hurriedly greeted Teacher Yuzi: "Ah, teacher Yuzi is good!"

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to get the funds for the club... Maybe it's because the club has just been established." Teacher Yuzi apologized.

Hearing such news, although he was a little disappointed, Tsutsui still pretended to be calm and said: "Okay, I see."

"I will also ask my friends to see if there are any idle chessboards, chess pieces and so on."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Tsutsui was very grateful to see Teacher Yuzi working so hard for the club building.

Thinking of the rudimentary Go club, Teacher Yuzi couldn't help sighing: "It would be great if we could recruit members. In that case, the club funds should be available soon. There are many members in the shogi club."

"Go is completely different from shogi..." Tsutsui felt a little helpless compared to the thriving shogi club.

"makes sense."

After a pause, Teacher Yuzi looked at Tsutsui with a gentle smile: "Work hard to build an excellent Go club. I think Tsutsui will definitely be able to do it."

"Thank you. I will work hard." Tsutsui replied with firm eyes.

As a result, I was the only one in the first and second grades...

Thinking of what Teacher Yuzi said when he was in the first grade, and thinking about the current Go Club, Tsutsui said that it is impossible not to lose.

I will graduate in less than a year, do I really have a chance to participate in the competition?

Zuowei, do you want to participate?In the middle school Go competition, the strength may not be particularly strong... Aguang asked Zuowei in his heart.

Eh?shall i go? ●﹏● Zuowei asked in surprise.

After all, since Aguang went to that chess club, Aguang has always been playing chess himself.Except on the Internet, I haven't played against other people for a while.

um, yes. :) Ah Guang responded gently.

I didn't expect that I could really play chess in reality! ~O(∩_∩)O~

After realizing this, a very happy smile appeared on Zuo Wei's face immediately.

Even though I can play chess online, I still prefer to play chess face to face with others~!

So he replied A Guang with a little excitement: I will participate~I will participate~!I don't know what's going on, but it sounds interesting~! (*^﹏^*)

"Okay then, I'll take part."

Just when Tsutsui was lost in memory, he suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard Hikaru say that.

Seeing Tsutsui's surprised expression, Hikaru couldn't help laughing.

Just participating in a middle school Go game is not something difficult to accomplish.

After all, Tsutsui-senpai took good care of himself in the past.

If this is his wish, there is nothing wrong with helping him.

"Then, there is only one person left now." Aguang thought for a while, and then suggested, "Why don't you go ask Senior Kaga?"

Although Aguang's impression of Kaga is not very good.

After all, he looks very bad, and his tone of voice is also quite bad, and he even arrogantly said that Taya is his own defeat...

However, it is undeniable that Kaga's Go strength is indeed very strong. ╯﹏╰

"Kaga he...he doesn't play Go anymore. He said he wants to concentrate on playing Shogi and won't come to the Go club again." Tsutsui's tone was a little lonely.

In fact, Tsutsui's first impression of Kaga was simply terrible.

That was when Tsutsui was a first-year student.

After school that day, he came to the Go club alone as usual.

Although the Go club is called a "club", it does not have an exclusive club classroom.

If Teacher Yuzi, who was acting as a consultant, hadn't lent her the science classroom she was responsible for keeping, the Go club might not even have a place for club activities.

Tsutsui held the game record in one hand, while arranging the game record on the very old chessboard with an incomplete number of pieces.

This chessboard is quite badly broken, after all, it was used by Teacher Yuzi's father before.

Fortunately, it does not affect the use.

But those chess pieces.Perhaps due to the age, many of the glass chess pieces were damaged.If you are not careful when cleaning, it is easy to cut your fingers.

His fingers had been cut several times while cleaning chess pieces.

It's just that, since the club's funds have not been distributed, there is no way to replace the chessboard and chess pieces with new ones.So that's all we can do for now.

Although the conditions of the Go club are very difficult, Tsutsui still looks forward to the future of the Go club.

Just when he was immersed in his imagination, the door of the science classroom was suddenly opened with a "shua".

The visitor had fluffy hair, a pair of slightly upturned narrow eyes, and a uniform with a stand-up collar that should have been buttoned neatly was being worn loosely on his body at this time, making him look lazy and relaxed. arrogant.

"What, so there is a Go club in this school." After seeing the chessboard in front of Tsutsui, the person sighed inexplicably.

Because the other party spoke too casually, Tsutsui always felt that there seemed to be some irony in his words, so he said in a blunt tone: "Now is the time for club activities, please go out if you have nothing to do with it!"

Regarding Tsutsui's slightly harsh attitude, the other party didn't really care much, but slightly raised the corners of his lips: "What club activities? Aren't you alone~ It's so lonely~~"

"It has nothing to do with you." Tsutsui only felt very ashamed when the other party said the truth all at once.

When the other party saw this, he put away his plan to continue making fun.He said calmly in a normal tone: "Understood. Excuse me."

His tone was vaguely apologetic, as if he was sorry for disturbing Tsutsui by his sudden intrusion.

After walking a few steps, he stopped suddenly: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Kaga, Kaga Tetsuo. It will be beneficial to remember my name."

After finishing his sentence in such a conceited but somewhat solemn manner, he left the science classroom.

Before leaving, he carefully closed the classroom door gently.

Although Tsutsui was the only one in the Go club when he was in the first and second grades.

But since Kaga broke into the science classroom that time, he would come to intervene from time to time.

Though Kaga can be annoying at times.However, it is also because of his existence that the Weiqi club is no longer so deserted.

During Kaga's frequent visits, Tsutsui learned a little bit about Kaga's past.For example, he actually went to the Go classroom where Ryo Taya went!

Tsutsui always feels that Kaga is not as indifferent to Go as he seems.But for some unknown reason, he resisted everything about Go.

However, since he played against Shindo at the school celebration, he seemed to really let go.

While feeling happy for Kaga, Tsutsui couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
