[Chess Soul] The God of Chess Comes

Chapter 23【Xiaoliang's expectation】

Ryo Toya is the son of a famous Japanese Go player.What makes him famous in the Go circle is not just because he is the son of a celebrity named Taya.Taya Ryo treats people with gentleness and courtesy, and is meticulous in his work. He has a special love for Go.The most important thing is Taya Ryo's young genius, who is only 12 years old and can already play chess with his father and three sons.

But on Ta Yaliang's side as an ordinary child, the embarrassment of no one playing chess made Xiaoliang almost feel a kind of almost terrifying loneliness.Xiao Liang is too strong, but there is no one who is as old as him even if he is older than him.

Maybe a genius is enviable, maybe a genius is something everyone aspires to be.But only those who match the strength and dedication are eligible to get all of this.And even after getting all this, it's just more torture to endure.

Xiao Liang always sits blankly in the chess hall and plays Go quietly by himself.Looking forward, looking forward to someone who can compete with him.Although the father and the others are very strong, there is still something missing for a child.Less things that make him feel lonely and boring.

"Xiao Liang is really strong. Isn't it boring to play alone?"

"Ah? No way?" Xiao Liang casually said while playing chess with Mr. Lu Yuan, who was already a professional chess player, before meeting Hikaru Fujiwara.Xiao Liang does not have excessive sorrow and joy, and will not play around like other 12-year-old children.Xiao Liang is conscientious, smart, gentle and polite, which is certainly endearing.

But what about Xiaoliang himself?He would still be sad about a lot of things, right?

Although for Xiaoliang, that kind of patience is nothing at all.

"Xiao Liang, why haven't you taken the professional chess player exam yet?"

"Hey? Why did you ask this all of a sudden?" Xiao Liang asked with some doubts when he was arranging the chessboard with Mr. Lu Yuan.Then he watched Mr. Lu Yuan, a professional chess player, sitting opposite him facing his own doubts.Xiao Liang quietly put away the chess pieces at hand.Then he looked at Mr. Lu Yuan who was opposite.

"Although it can be true. But I don't plan to take the vocational test so early. Because I want to be stronger before going." Xiao Liang said these words lightly, and then watched Mr. Lu Yuan pat his head helplessly.

"What is Xiaoliang talking about? Even our Mr. Lu Yuan passed the vocational exam. Xiaoliang, you will definitely have no problem taking the vocational exam now, right?"

"Hey Miss Shihe!" Mr. Lu Yuan is already an adult, and there are not a few people like Mr. Lu Yuan who are adults but have just been admitted to professional chess players.But it is rare for Xiao Liang to be able to play better than professional chess players at such a young age.Mr. Lu Yuan has a very good personality, and what he said to Xiao Liang has always been taken to heart by Xiao Liang.

Although compared with the odd number of Xiaoliang, Mr. Lu Yuan's chess seems to be ordinary.But even the worst professional chess players are definitely not to be underestimated.Mr. Lu Yuan said that he has several opponents with comparable strength to play chess together.Although sometimes suffering, but never lonely or bored.

Xiao Liang always thinks about Mr. Lu Yuan's words.He always waited silently, unwilling to give up.Sometimes children of the same age come to him to play chess.Before he started, he was expecting and would try his best to engrave the name of a suitable person in his heart so that he would feel warm when he touched Go.

Instead of sitting here playing games with too many adults older than myself like this.Or step by step towards the person who is his father, the Japanese Go Pyramid.Although it is also a challenge, although it is also Go.But some things have already been lost by Xiaoliang.That feeling of loss... can only be washed away with Go over and over again and resisted with concentration.

Until one day someone came to him to play chess.

"Are you Ta Yaliang?" The other party was about the same age as Xiao Liang, and he didn't know how he played chess, but the domineering look made Xiao Liang look forward to it.It's been a long time since I showed a smile that belongs to a child, although that smile is already extremely reserved and restrained.But I saw a child who was about the same age as me.Xiao Liang is looking forward to it.

"I am the champion of the children's Go competition. I heard that you are very strong. I want to see if you are that strong?" The child with high self-esteem sat in front of Xiao Liang, and Xiao Liang was very happy with his provocative attitude.He's looking forward to... looking forward to a partner to play with.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Hidero Jibuki." Sitting opposite Xiao Liang, those shining eyes didn't look like ordinary children who can play chess.

After Xiao Liang played ten moves, he could see the opponent's strength.Perhaps such strength is enough to win the children's Go game.But... for Xiaoliang. …too weak.

At the end of the game, Xiao Liang still smiled politely.But the initial anticipation in a trance has completely disappeared.

The children who come to the challenge can only feel endless humiliation and loss.Losing the initial pride, he looked at Xiao Liang who was opposite him.Gritting his teeth, he turned and left.He finally understood that what Xiaoliang was taller than him was not the gap between children.That's an extremely difficult path to follow.And Xiao Liang has already got rid of them, ordinary children, and stood in a very high position.

"Xiao Liang is finished so soon? How is it, that child?"

"Well, his chess skills are not bad." Xiao Liang said modestly.

"Then you can play with him next time, by the way, have you asked what the child's name is?" Miss Shihe reminded gently.

Then Xiao Liang, who was packing up the chess pieces and the chessboard by himself, blinked suddenly and couldn't remember the child's name at all.Seeing Miss Shihe's expectant look, Xiaoliang had to tell the truth.

"Ah, I forgot. What's the child's name?" Xiao Liang finished speaking in a daze. Miss Shihe sighed helplessly, waved her hands and went back to the counter. Miss Shihe said to herself, "I just said Well, the child who can defeat Xiao Liang has not yet been born." Although he is proud of Xiao Liang's strength.But in the same way, Xiao Liang has no suitable playmates.As a child especially a child who loves Go.Xiaoliang...too lonely.

Until that day, a kid in retro clothes appeared.

White men's kimono, black shawl with long hair, and well-behaved clogs.At that time, Shihe was still thinking that there are still children who look more well-behaved than Xiaoliang?Then when Miss Shihe was in a daze, the child spoke. Unexpectedly, the child with big eyes and long hair was a little boy.

"Sorry, I didn't know that the children in the chess club here have to pay."

"Is this your first time playing chess? Miss Shihe will give him free?" Xiao Liang stood up from his seat.It was destined to meet him and Zuo Wei.It is destined to drag Xiaoliang out of the whirlpool of boredom.

"My name is Hikaru Fujiwara. How about you?"

"Ah? Me? My name is Ta Yaliang." Xiao Liang looked at the child with a white gauze on his face.

"You are playing chess for the first time, and you said that your strength is not bad. Then I will let you two?" If Xiaoliang and ordinary children may make both of them humble.He even said that out of the self-esteem of taking care of the other party.

But Fujiwara on the opposite side said, "No need, let's go first." In a faint, decisive voice.It is not ostentatious, and there is no restlessness that is unique to children.Especially when Fujiwara stretched out his white and tender hands with his sleeves in his arms, and moved skillfully and lightly.Xiao Liang's heart just moved.

This time... the ten-step chess Xiaoliang has already seen the gap with the opponent.

After going down step by step, Xiao Liang even felt that the person sitting opposite him was not a child but a master who was no match for his father.A terrible oppression suddenly made Xiao Liang frown.Xiao Liang was so nervous that he mobilized his whole body to fight.Until he completely sees that the opponent is playing guiding chess with him.

Xiao Liang's heart almost stopped beating.The widened eyes, the pupils were unbelievably turbulent.

"I... lost." Xiao Liang didn't understand what was going on with him until the end?Is the opponent really playing chess for the first time?

"What did Xiaoliang lose?!" When the whole chess club surrounded him in surprise.Xiao Liang has been unable to catch up with Xiao Guang who has already left.He didn't even see Xiaoguang's appearance.

"How is it possible? Xiaoliang lost?" Even Miss Shihe was surprised to a certain extent.She never thought that any child could surpass the current Xiaoliang.But the facts were in front of him, and Xiao Liang lost.Two eyes.These two eyes are much like the sentence he said to Fujiwara at the beginning, I will let you two sons?

It's ironic and shocking.

Everyone was stunned by the masked child.Xiao Liang is a kid who plays chess with professional chess players!

From that day on, Xiao Liang changed.He is no longer on top, he no longer has time to be bored.He will not feel that he made a wrong decision for not leaving to apply for a professional chess player.Although the results are surprising.But Miss Shihe still smiled.Xiao Liang...has finally become so fighting spirit and like a wild beast awakened inside.

The lonely strong man still reached the top.This is really something that makes people sigh and feel gratified.

Xiaoliang... started to run on the road of Go like other children.

And the person who let him get rid of loneliness, with an extremely happy and gentle smile on his lips, was expecting Xiao Liang to come to his side.

The cherry blossoms bloomed at that time, and it was the second time since Xiaoliang fell in love with Go that they bloomed so colorfully and brilliantly.
