[Soul of Chess] What if

After exiting her father's room, Taya only felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Although he understands that his father should have his own considerations in doing so.However, slightly negative emotions such as unwillingness, anxiety, and annoyance inevitably arose in his heart.

I thought that everything would be much clearer today, but I didn't expect the development of things to be like this...

In the end, he still didn't know what kind of connection Shinto and Sai had, and he didn't know what his father wanted to confirm with Shinto.

Could it be that my father found something from Kiin that can prove that Sai is related to Shinto?

What will it be?

Or is it just because of other things that my father found Jin Teng?

While thinking seriously, Taya slowly walked along the corridor.

"Huh... Ah Liang?"

At this moment, he heard Mingzi's mother's voice.

It was only then that Taya realized that he had come to the kitchen when he didn't pay attention.

Akiko is carefully preparing snacks and black tea.

Although the child's expression was so solemn that he didn't look like he was a guest at all, but this was the first time a child who was about the same age as A Liang came to the house.In any case, she still hopes that this place can make a good impression on the other party.

Speaking of which, Ah Liang has been playing chess with people who are much older than him since he was a child. Although he briefly studied in the Go classroom for a period of time, he did not go there again for some reason, so when he was a child, Ah Liang Liang has almost no experience with his peers.Coupled with his personality, Ah Liang’s life can only be said to be Go, and his daily activities are simply fixed between school and home.Compared with people of the same age, such a life is so monotonous that there is no interest at all.

Although she doesn't seem to care much about it, Mingzi is very clear that Ah Liang still hopes to have like-minded friends who are similar in age.

Although the relationship between Ah Liang and Xingyang's disciples was not bad, they were more like family members than friends.

However, in terms of making friends, as a bystander, even though she was worried, she was a little powerless.In addition to taking care of A Liang more and more attentively in life, she didn't know what she could do for A Liang.

When Ah Liang was in the third grade, Xing Yang used his savings for a long time to open a Go club on a commercial street in Nakano.

The distance between the go club and the elementary school where Ah Liang studied is not far, and it only takes a short walk to get there.In addition, there is a station under the building where the chess club is located, so it is very convenient to take the tram or the subway.So even if Ah Liang went alone, they wouldn't have too many worries.

It is because of this go hall that Ah Liang has a new place to go after school, and also has the opportunity to get in touch with more people.

Most of the customers in the store are very kind and treat A Liang very kindly. Miss Shihe who is in charge of reception is also an enthusiastic child.With so many people taking care of her, Akiko doesn't have to worry that A Liang will experience something bad when she didn't notice like before.

However, even so, Ah Liang was still alone all the time.

Thinking of A Liang's somewhat quiet character, Ming Zi couldn't help feeling a little worried.

You know, there is no trace of warmth in the Go world, and after he formally steps into that world, he is bound to go through all kinds of extremely cruel tests.And Ah Liang is a child who refuses to reveal his heart easily to anyone. If he encounters any major setbacks in the future, he must face it alone. more heavy.

All the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys can only be tasted silently by one person. This kind of life is really too lonely.

Thinking about it this way, Mingzi couldn't help but regret bringing Ah Liang into the world of Go.

If he hadn't been exposed to Go, then Ah Liang should have had a normal and joyful childhood.In this process, he should also meet many companions like other people. In that case, even if there is a severe storm, there will be someone to accompany him to greet him, instead of everything like now. Only one person can bear it.

Just when Mingzi thought that Ah Liang would stay alone like this, he didn't expect things to turn for the better.

On a weekend in mid-January this year, A Liang said that he would go out for a while and might come home later.

Thinking of Ah Liang's past arrangements, Ming Zi said clearly: "Is it going to the chess club? It's okay, as long as you come back at dinner time."

"Ah."

A Liang simply responded.After a brief pause, he added: "...After I go to the chess club, I may go to Ye Lai Middle School."

"Hase Middle School?" Akiko repeated with some doubts.

"Yes."

Akiko knew about Haze Junior High School.It was an ordinary public school in every respect, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

Why did Ah Liang go there all of a sudden?

She thought this way, and then asked the doubts in her heart: "Why do you want to go there?"

"I heard that there will be a school celebration there today, so I want to take a look." Facing his eyes full of surprise and curiosity, A Liang thought for a while before answering.

"School celebration?"

Hearing A Liang's answer, Ming Zi vaguely had a guess, so she couldn't help but smile: "Are you with your friends?"

"...Mmm." Ah Liang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the corners of Ming Zi's mouth kept rising.

"I see. So, have fun!"

Before Ah Liang went out, she said with a smile.

After Ah Liang came back that day, the slightly depressed atmosphere that had been hanging over him some time ago had disappeared, and he seemed to have more fighting spirit.

I think Ah Liang should have a lot of fun at the school celebration of Haze Middle School.Seeing Ah Liang's expression, Ming Zi secretly guessed.

Since then, Ah Liang's original calm and indifferent personality has changed slightly. Not only does he look more angry, but he is also willing to speak out his thoughts.

Not only that, whether it is a desperate request to participate in the junior high school Go competition, or a sudden decision to take the professional chess player exam, these are also related to the child named Hikari Shinto.

Unexpectedly, this person can have such a great influence on Ah Liang, I really don't know what kind of child he will be.

Thinking of this, Akiko became more and more curious about this Hikari Shindo who had never met before.

Then, she finally saw it today.

It is a boy who looks very sunny.

Akiko tried to imagine the scene of the two getting along, and soon she found to her frustration that she couldn't imagine it at all.After all, the personality gap between the two is a bit big.

Although I don't know why A Liang brought his friend to meet Xing Yang, maybe there is something related to Go?

However, no matter what, the important thing is that Ah Liang also has his own friends now.

Although the relationship between the two is not as good as I imagined.

Seeing A Liang appearing here alone, Ming Zi couldn't help but wonder: "A Liang, why are you alone? Where is that child?"

"He's still in Dad's room." A Liang replied softly, barely maintaining a calm expression.

Seeing this, Akiko couldn't help sighing.

"A Liang, is there something on your mind? Can you tell mom?" She looked at A Liang and asked softly.

Under Ming Zi's persistent gaze, A Liang finally showed a troubled expression on his face: "Jin Teng has been deliberately hiding something. I really want to know the answer, but no matter how I ask him, he always avoids it." talk……"

"how to say……"

Akiko deliberated over his words, then bent down slightly.She put her hand on A Liang's shoulder lightly, and then she said solemnly: "Everyone has their own bottom line, and they have secrets that they don't want others to know. As a friend, we should respect each other's Willingness, rather than determined to get to the bottom of it."

Seeing that A Liang looked a little ashamed after hearing what she said, her expression softened a lot: "Of course, if you really care about it, you can choose to tell the other party how you feel properly. As for whether you can get what you want?" The answer you want depends on the wishes of the other party.”

"It can be seen that you care about this friend very much. It's just that you can't just do everything according to your own ideas, but also pay attention to listening to the other person's voice. Only in this way can your relationship be maintained well."

After listening to what he said, A Liang looked thoughtful.After a long time, the blankness in his eyes gradually turned into firmness: "I understand. Thank you, Mom."

Knowing that Ah Liang had made his own decision, the smile on Ming Zi's face became more gentle.

what to do? >_

what to do? ? ::>_<::

What should I do? ! ! Q_Q

Ah Guang's heart is constantly refreshing the screen at this time.

Ah Guang regretted it now.

Very sorry.

Why do you think he was so stupid back then?It was so simple to follow Taya into the car.If he ran away after spotting Taya at that time, with Taya's usual style, he probably wouldn't chase him in the street regardless of his image...

(Author: Are you sure?

Ah Guang: Nah... Nah!I said "should" not "sure"! )

Unexpectedly, the celebrity still clearly remembers the chess game a long time ago, and is keenly aware of the similarities between the two.Now he also knows Zuo Wei's name.

Thankfully, celebrities don't think of themselves as sai.This made Ah Guang a little relieved.

How to do?

Do you want to admit it?

Admit that Zuowei is Sai?

Perhaps seeing Ah Guang's hesitation, the celebrity added sincerely: "Don't worry, I came to you today just to confirm with you. I won't talk about this matter."

"I know that the reason why your teacher chose to hide his identity should be due to his own difficulties. If not, he should have made his mark in the chess world long ago, instead of being as unknown as he is now. Since he chose to appear in the name of Sai On the Internet, it shows that he actually wants to play chess with more people. Regarding this, I can help, after all, I also have a certain right to speak in the chess academy. And I can also help you better hide it for your teacher identity."

The celebrity paused for a moment before continuing: "It is undeniable that I also have selfish intentions in doing this. Because, I want to play more chess with him."

"As long as he is still active in the Go world, one day I will have the chance to play against him again. If he disappears due to his identity being exposed, maybe I will never be able to play against him again..."

When he said this, his voice always sounded a little lonely for some reason.

Is it an illusion?Ah Guang couldn't help being a little confused.
