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

Soul of Chess Special Chapter Seventeen

After the match between Taya VS Ogata, I got seriously ill and recuperated at home this week.Friends such as Kazuya, Ikaku, and Yuriko all came to visit me, and I also asked Zuowei to replay the game.Before I knew it, Natsume's house had become a place often visited by chess players.

On the weekend, there was another visit.I froze when I opened the door.

Unexpectedly, it was Kurata.

Last winter, I took the title of Tianyuan from him.The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the way Kurata looked at me was no longer concerned about the younger generation, but fierce towards a strong opponent.

It was Zuo Wei who solved the problem for me. "Sorry, Mr. Kurata, Hikari hasn't completely recovered from his cold..."

But Kurata laughed loudly, and put his hand on my shoulder (I grinned from the pain), "Haha, it's okay!" He straightened his face and said reverently, "Mr. Fujiwara, I have long admired you."

Kurata walked into Natsume's house, and looked at some elegant utensils placed in the room with amazement.Qingchang's flower vases, white sandalwood incense burner, Xiuce calligraphy and painting, bat fan, old copy of "Pillow Grass", etc., are scattered, some were bought by Zuowei and I, and some were gifted by others.

Zuo Wei and Kurata talked eloquently: "Xiu Ce's letter is a calligraphy work when he was a teacher of Zhuxue Taoist... These two vases of Keicho's vases were given by the adoptive father of the original owner of this house..."

Kurata suddenly realized. "It turns out that Shinto's vision for cultural relics was influenced by you, Mr. Fujiwara!"

Both Zuo Wei and I had a hard time holding back our laughter.

Zuo Wei and Kurata play chess.I'm watching from the sidelines.The cold is better, and I finally think quickly.

Soon after, Kurata conceded in mid-game.The three of us resumed the game and each expressed our views.

"Happy!" As the evening approached, Kurata laughed loudly, "It's really a high-level teacher-student evaluation!"

I am still not comfortable with using "teacher and student" to describe me and Zuo Wei, and I feel awkward, but Zuo Wei smiled and said: "The meaning of light to me is not just for students."

"That's true." Kurata looked at me, "Shinto, you are really far from the little guy I met back then—no, you were already very good at that time. You almost won the game of color chess It’s me, and now it’s—”

The smile in his eyes disappeared for a moment, and he sighed deeply:

"Mr. Fujiwara, do you know what kind of sharp sword you have cultivated!"

Zuo Wei caressed my shoulder, with a faint sternness in his kindness:

"Although a sharp sword has a sharp edge, it still needs to be honed."

I felt a chill in my heart as if being splashed by snow, I lowered my head.

I will take Mr. Kurata to the subway station.The sky was full of stars, and Kurata turned around—he was about to raise his head to look at me—with a deep expression wrapped in the darkness of night.

"Shinto, to be honest, ever since I met you for the first time, I felt scary, and at that time, I seemed to be able to hear your footsteps catching up.

"My premonition is indeed correct. In just four years, you and Ryo Taya have already surpassed me in all aspects."

I unconsciously put my hand in my trouser pocket.That is my folding fan.

—— "The folding fan you are holding is not for being handsome, but for proving something."

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Kurata." I heard my own voice deep, "I have been with the Supreme One day and night, and I have also heard the footsteps of the latecomers. I really dare not relax."

In the deep night, Zuo Wei and I sat in front of the chessboard.From childhood to adulthood, how many nights, the moonlight shines on the chessboard between us.I was caught off guard when I was separated, and I searched for it with thousands of tricks, and I quietly reunited at the end of the mountain. My half of my life is almost dependent on this.

However, everything was quiet, but I could clearly hear some long-dormant things in my body that were about to move.

That is the desire to conquer.

There is still a window period before the new league, Zuo Wei and I bought a silver sports car, and bid farewell to commuting from then on.

"It's so comfortable!" I sat in the driver's seat coolly and started the engine, "It's great to grow up!"

"It's a light car!" Zuo Wei put on his seat belt, looked around, with a contented look like a cat.

The car drove smoothly on the street.The sunlight leaked from the shadow of the tree and projected into the space of the carriage one by one.Zuo Wei's face next to him was bathed in golden flowing sunlight.

It is hard to imagine that Zuo Wei and I could meet again and have such a beautiful moment.

Music suddenly streamed from the radio, it was "Xia Xikong" by Kosuke Naka.It turned out that Zuowei was playing with the buttons in the car.I hurriedly called Zuo Wei to stop.

"Ah, I know this song, it's your mobile phone ringtone!" Zuo Wei said happily, "But, Hikari, I didn't know you liked this type of song..."

"Strictly speaking, I fell in love with Natsume when I met him." Half-jokingly, "...Sawei, don't you think his songs are very Natsume-like?"

Zuo Wei thought about it, and then smiled: "It seems to be." Then he said, "Guang, when I heard that you and Takashi were good friends, I thought it was incredible."

"Haha, it's just as unbelievable as me being a chess player."

A warm male voice flowed in the space, calming the heat of the chess game: "The sky in the west is getting darker, and a ray of sunlight pierces through the clouds. After the shower in the evening, I can quietly feel the breath of summer, and the rays of light behind the clouds rush to The earth, listen to the thoughts in your heart..."

I know, I never had the world of Natsume's Book of Friends.

enough.I looked at Zuo Wei on the side and thought.I can't ask the gods for more.

"Recently, the Chess Academy has caused a lot of trouble because of the new junior league..."

"Several nine-dan seniors have submitted applications, asking to be the first to exchange with Mr. Fujiwara!"

"What's going on?"

"Look, Shinto-kun is here—"

As soon as I stepped into the clubhouse of Taya's house, I heard a lot of discussion at the front desk.These days, no matter where I go, people ask me about the new league.

"Don't ask me." As soon as they spoke, I waved my hands presciently, "I don't know who Zuo Wei is going to fight with."

The three major events that have happened in the Chess Academy recently, apart from the comeback of celebrities and the new first-tier league, are Taya's seven-game throne finals starting next month.

Ta Yaliang is sitting in the corner at the moment and playing music.I put the iced tea given by Miss Shihe beside the chessboard, but he didn't even look up.

When Taya was deep in thought, she was as oblivious to the outside world as I was.

I took a closer look and found that it was the round of Taya VS Ogata.The chess hand stopped by his hand was exactly Bai Jiushi, Chong.

"The next move is to pull out after holding, you handled it very well." I couldn't help but make a sound.

But Taya picked up a sunspot and landed it on the "pull" - the trick that Lizi said.

However, just when the chess pieces hit the board and the sound of gold and stone sounded, I clearly heard a crisp sound from my heart.The sound was extremely soft, but shocking, like the moment when a moth flies into a flame and burns to death.

"Although it's not as brilliant as the 'Trust' first, it's still a clever move by God, which can be used to prolong the battle. If you continue to use it, there may be another world."

The ice cubes in the glass made a "crack" sound, and I whispered, "Zuo Wei also said the same."

A gleam of starlight flashed in Taya's pupils.

"Shinto, this is the trick you pointed out."

Yes, this is actually the game of Zuowei VS Ogata, and I pointed out a better move afterwards.I said it when I was discussing with Youli.

"Things are so strange, I didn't think of this trick myself." I shook my head with a wry smile.

Zuo Wei said it was because I was sick at the time.But I know for myself that the truth is not like that.

There is an answer, faint and faint, in my heart, like the bean-like lamp in the long dark night.

Or maybe, from the very beginning, Taya clearly told me the answer, but I was unwilling to accept it.

I thought Taya would continue to say something, but he didn't. He just took a sip of green tea and frowned slightly.Only then did I realize that Taya's eyes were bloodshot, as if she hadn't rested for a few days.

I suddenly remembered what the lady said before the start.In fact, let alone Zuo Wei and I, just the comeback of celebrities will bring a lot of pressure to Ryo Taya.

"Taya," the words came out without much thought, and I inquired, "Would you like to stay with us during the Throne Finals?"
