[Go Soul Natsume's Book of Friends] Guang Xia

Chess Soul Special Chapter [-]

"You actually left your ugly name on "Friends Book"!"

After crossing the street, I got a call from Natsume.As soon as I said "Hello", Teacher Cat yelled at me.

Well, even cats can talk on the phone these days.

"It's not enough to kidnap Natsume, do you also want to destroy "Book of Friends"?!"

Hey, not only do I want to kidnap Natsume, I also want to kidnap you, Mr. Kitty.

"Mr. Cat, May [-]th is Boys' Day, would you like to eat snapper suki hot pot?"

"What? Hot pot? Of course I—I told you I don't want to see you anymore, you nasty yellow-haired boy!"

……

There was a scrambling voice on the other end of the phone ("Mr. Cat, don't embarrass me anymore!").Two seconds later, Natsume's apologetic voice sounded: "Shindo-kun, the teacher is really rude."

"It's okay." Haha, when did Mr. Cat "give" me a "courtesy", "Natsume, when are you on vacation?"

"How can it be so fast? It's only the end of April, and there are quizzes every week..." Natsume said, and couldn't help but sigh, "You chess players are just good."

"Yeah, it's a relief not to have to go to high school."

The automatic door opened in front of me, and I entered the chess club at Taya's house.When Miss Shihe saw that it was me, she had a look of extreme joy on her face.

"Xiao Liang, Shinto-kun is here!"

Miss Shihe's tone was as if she had won a big prize.All the old men in the clubhouse turned their heads, including Taya Ryo who was sitting alone in the corner.Natsume on the other side of the phone obviously heard it too, and let out a short laugh.

"If it wasn't for Zuo, I would have gotten zero points in social studies." I held my backpack onto the counter, and was still chatting with Natsume, "I almost couldn't graduate from junior high school..."

"I also have a headache in social studies." Natsume said cooperatively, but he could hear him snickering.

"You can ask Zuo Wei, Zuo Wei is very useful in this respect—"

"Okay, okay, go and play chess with Taya-kun." Natsume interrupted me with a smile, "There's no need to be nervous, Shinto-kun, you're serious."

"Who is nervous?!"

Natsume said "Let's talk again" and hung up the phone.I bite the bullet and walk to Taya's position, facing all the surprised eyes of the old men.

Mr. Hirose said kindly, "Shinto-kun, I haven't seen you for almost half a year."

Mr. Bei Dao immediately blew his beard and stared: "It's better if this kid doesn't come! Finally, the little teacher's ears are clean!"

Mr. Hirose glared at him, "Hey, Mr. Bei Dao, do you really think this is good..."

Ta Ya sat there calmly, not knowing what kind of expression was on his face.I stiffened my back and pulled the chair away.Hey, don't look at me like that, you weren't the one who politely invited me back?

Taya said, "Did you go to the chess academy today? How was the professional chess player exam?"

In the past five years, the overall examination system of the Chess Academy has changed a lot, and the schedule of the professional chess player examination has been moved forward to April and May when the spring and summer are handed over.And this session is the one that has attracted the most attention over the years, because there are assistants among the candidates.

"Sawei won the middle game, Yuriko lost." I said.

Yuriko's opponent today is Mayu Kawasoe.I was very surprised when I saw Kawasoe, and Sato was also absent-minded for a moment.

"Didn't you not want to be a professional chess player at that time?" I couldn't help asking.Kawasaki didn't answer.Yulizi turned her face away.Why are these two girls so weird?

"I thought you would come with Fujiwara-san today," Taya said.

"No, Yuriko has been very depressed recently, Zuo Wei said to go and relax with her."

"so."

Taya seemed to have some doubts about the relationship between Saoi and Yuriko, but didn't ask more.He picked up the chess pieces and changed the subject: ""Chess Book" No. 20 page three, one hundred and two second, eighth four, Sai pointed out that this is the turning point of the ultimate defeat, let's discuss it."

I was stunned: "What did you say?"

"You don't even remember the chess you played three years ago, do you?"

"Who would care to remember every game they played three years ago?!"

"I thought you cared about Sai."

"Wait, what does this have to do with Zuo Wei?!"

"Shindo Hikari, this is a defeat that Sai specifically pointed out!"

"..." Zuo Wei killed me every night. In his eyes, my failures are everywhere... I guess...

Oh, how could I have such an unambitious idea...

"Okay, you can replay." I compromised, seeing Taya raised her eyebrows, I quickly added, "Please, I really don't remember." The tone was so sincere that I almost folded my hands together.

<<

It didn't take long for Taya to resume, and I recognized it.This is the first time I hit the Honinbo round-robin game record when I was 15 years old.

"Jinto Chess Book" No. 20 three pages: Jinteng Chuduan vs Morishita Jiuduan.defeat.

The scene of that day is vivid.Hegu and I stood at the entrance of the chess room, the elevator opened, and Morishita-sensei walked in, I turned to him, slightly pressed my jaw, my whole body was tense, and I was not in the state of relaxed battle in previous seminars at all.

"The folding fan you are holding is not for being handsome, but for proving something."—Mr. Morishita's deep voice is still in my ears.At that time, I didn't say a word, I just held my folding fan tightly.

"At that time, I met Morishita-sensei for the first time on the field." I said to Taya, "There is still immaturity in mentality."

"The first time I saw this game, I thought it was at the later stage that you made a wrong move and you lost everything." Taya said, "However, Sai pointed out that the chess game began to go downhill as early as [-]. "

"In that move, I regarded myself as my assistant." I said realistically, "I didn't have the strength to control this move at that time."

"However, according to your strength at the time, you wouldn't be so defeated. Why did you go down like that?"

I almost jumped on the case.Ta Ya's harsh words are fine. Does it make sense to discuss the chess records from three years ago?

"I don't know. Otherwise, you tell me?" I said stiffly.

I know Taya Ryo very well.There is a kind of strength in his character, he is used to thinking on his own, and he doesn't need others to give him answers.In the afternoon three years ago, he noticed the traces of Sai, and I was still immersed in the emotions of sadness and joy. He came to the conclusion by himself: the chess you play is all you have.

"You want to win too much, but you know that the other party is your teacher, and you can't win by yourself. You are confused in such a contradiction, and you don't even know how to play, so you have to think from the perspective of sai—that's you The only option when cornered."

Ta Ya's voice was soft, but a strange and distant chill felt in my heart for no reason, and my hand dropped under the chess table, holding the folding fan tightly.

Taya continued unhurriedly: "Have you ever thought that deep down in your heart you don't trust your own chess, Hikari Shinto?"
