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

No.40 eight times

Hikaru VS Kurata's first game, although the start was not too fast, but in the middle of the game, it was like flying, like smashing beeping lanterns, which made people dazzled.

"Kurata and Shinto are both good players in rapid chess. This is a contest of instant chess sense." Morishita said.The situation is clear.Light clearly had the upper hand.

In the competition for the right to challenge the title, Morishita fought against Hikari, but lost to Hikari's sudden detachment.Morishita still remembers the previous official competitions, and Hikari was in awe of his majestic momentum.But now, this proud student turned a blind eye to it.At the beginning of the game, Hikaru respectfully bowed to him and guessed the pieces, but Morishita felt that those amber eyes passed through the pieces and looked at another distant place.

Morishita thought that Hikaru was absent-minded, and relaxed his vigilance for a while, but unexpectedly, he lost.

Hikari lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Morishita, for your guidance", just like every seminar ends.That immature little boy is not what he used to be.When Morishita conceded defeat, he couldn't tell whether it was shock or sigh to himself.The disciples under the door grew up one by one, but he had gray hair.

"Teacher?" He Gu noticed the difference in Morishita's expression, and asked carefully, "What's wrong with you?"

Morishita pointed at the chess game on the TV with a fan: "You watch Kato's chess, and then look back at his winning streak in the Tianyuan round-robin tournament. What can you feel from it?"

"Shinto... is more focused than before. Once he sits in front of the chessboard, nothing can disturb him." He Gu hesitated for a while, and then couldn't help but said, "But I think it's more than that."

Morishita nodded thoughtfully: "Really?"

"Teacher, you haven't seen how he looks like an outsider, but we know." He Gu said, "He doesn't play video games with us anymore. When eating his favorite ramen, his eyes are straight."

"What? Are you still playing video games?" Morishita's narrowed eyes opened dangerously.

"No, no! Just hit once in a while!" He Gu was covered in cold sweat.Yijiao and Ah Fu on the one side both smiled and endured very hard.

"Jin Teng won the title of Tianyuan playing video games. If you play video games, you won't even make it to the second round of the round-robin competition!" Morishita's veins were already faintly bursting.

"Ah, Cangtian is in trouble, I'll go back first." He Gu said hurriedly, and fled in embarrassment.

"Why, are you going to be cut?" Honda said with a smirk.

"To be honest, Shinto is too fierce this time, not the Shinto we usually know." He Gu said helplessly.

"When did we really understand Shinto?" Ochi's words made everyone stunned.

"Don't you think Shinto is hiding something from us?" Ikaku whispered to Kazuya.

"Yeah, he's never been good at hiding his emotions." He Gu shrugged, "But he won't say it, and there's nothing we can do about it."

After being friends with Guang for so long, Hegu can at least recognize what can be asked and what can't.

"Sit down." Yijiao pulled out the chair, "Nothing is more important than a chess game."

The only person in the observation room who couldn't read the board was Yuriko Ogata.

Despite Liang's whispered explanation, she was still struggling.The two in the middle played fast chess, and Liang had to stop explaining.You Lizi's records couldn't keep up with their progress, so she had to stop writing.

NATSUNE cared so much about Shinto Hikari, Yuriko originally wanted to record Hikari's game records and show him.Now it seems that it is far beyond the scope of her ability.

Both Hikari and Ogata said that NATSUNE is sai, which seems to be a remarkable figure. Who exactly is Sai, she doesn't know.She only knows the person on the other end of the network cable, the only friend she can confide in.

When there are too many things on your mind, only strangers are safe.

It seems that nothing can stand in the way of Guang's good luck in winning chess.Light is better than half an eye.At the end of the game, there was a commotion in the game room.Ogata snuffed out the cigarette angrily, and pushed ten thousand oceans to Kuwahara. Ryo, Ashihara, and other chess players were all resuming the game.No one will take care of her, a beginner who can't even memorize the set formulas.

Among the chess players who are discussing in full swing, Yuli feels inferior and lonely.

She threw the unfinished chess paper into the trash can, walked out of the chess academy, and walked out of this unfamiliar world.

<<

Yulizi doesn't want to go home.Going home will only make her face Ogata Seiji's face again, and think of her mother's self-pitying face when she was dying.She walked aimlessly on the street, took out her mobile phone, there were so many numbers, but she didn't know who to call.

Finally, I remembered NATSUNE.Only he can patiently listen to his thoughts that he can never say in reality.

She walked into an Internet cafe and logged into YURIKO—Hikari, Ogata, and Ryo-kun all searched for NATSUNE on the Internet, but they didn't seem to find it. He won't come again, right?

To her surprise, the screen in the upper right corner flashed.

NATSUNE: Yes.

He was answering the previous questions from Hikari and Ogata.After a full week, Yu Lizi didn't see her in time.You Lizi typed a lot of words, hesitated for a while, and then deleted them all.

YURIKO: Shindo won the first round O(∩_∩)O You must be very happy for him!

Surprisingly, NATSUNE, who was offline for several days, answered quickly——

NATSUNE: A round of title competition usually lasts for seven or eight hours. Did you know the result so quickly?

YURIKO: They play very fast.I want to record the chess records for you, but they play chess too fast (⊙_⊙)

NATSUNE: I'm so happy.I really want to see the game of light soon.

You Lizi was taken aback.Although she didn't take notes fast enough, she still remembered something in her mind.When she was young, she also liked to replay Ogata's chess game the most. Although she couldn't understand a single piece, she could always miraculously put it in the right position.

So, You Lizi carefully placed a piece on the online chessboard: Black Star.Hanging in vain.Hei Xiaomu.Bai Xiaofei...

NATSUNE quickly understood her intention.Yulizi couldn't see him, and couldn't guess his mood at the moment, but she felt safer than ever.When I'm with NATSUNE, whether it's talking or playing chess, just like Natsume-kun in the past, I feel very quiet, there is no sound in the world.

Half an hour later, the replay of the chess game was completed.

NATSUNE: You are amazing.do you know?It was exactly the same as the light back then.

Reminiscing of that daylight gaffe from pears. NATSUNE, that is, sai, his relationship with light seems to be very close.However, Sai suddenly disappeared and there was no news of him, so that Hikari thought he was dead.

What serious thing happened that made him refuse to see the light so far?They were all wonderful, wonderful people in her mind.Yulizi has conceived countless twists and turns and moving stories, but none of them can be explained.This is the nature of a young girl, who doesn't care about Sai's old reputation, but is extremely concerned about this emotional bond.

NATSUNE: It was a very exciting game. In move No.80, if you are not so impatient, you will win faster by responding to the move while ensuring the shape of the chess.

You Lizi couldn't understand it, but she still wrote it down carefully, planning to show it to Guang.

YURIKO: I will record your suggestion for Shindo.

NATSUNE: Hehe, you like light very much?

YURIKO: Yes.He patiently taught me how to play chess, and he spoke in a fun and simple way.I am very grateful to him.

I appreciate you too, sai.Only you care about me sincerely and listen to me.

YURIKO: Much better than my brother.

NATSUNE: Brother?

YURIKO: I sat in the same observation room as my brother today.It makes me sick.

Actually that is not true.You Lizi is just sad because of her low chess skills and can't understand Guang's chess game.Ogata tried his best to teach her many times before, and this is the first time she felt sad for not learning Go well.

But the other party seemed to care.He responded faster than ever.

NATSUNE: Why is this happening?

YURIKO: My father married my brother's mother and abandoned my mother. My mother didn't want me, but gave birth to me.After I met my elder brother, he forced me to learn Go, which made me very unhappy.My mom died last year and all he wanted was to force me to attend a Go seminar.

The other party was silent for a while.

NATSUNE: Actually, I used to impose my own ideas on others just like your brother.As long as he lets me play chess, I am very happy; if he does not let me play, I am angry.

Surprised by pears.This is NATSUNE, no, sai, who took the initiative to mention things other than Go to her.She was the one who was talking before, and he listened quietly through the network cable.

Was it true that sai was once the same as Ogata?Ogata and her were like this back then.When she learns chess obediently and attends his seminars, he feels at ease; when she throws away the chess pieces and says angrily, "I don't want to play chess", Ogata has a gloomy expression.

NATSUNE: I am more like a wayward child.It wasn't until I heard the voice of the gods urging me to leave that I realized that my obsession with playing chess made me ignore so much happiness when I was with them.

Looking at this text, Yu Lizi was stunned for a full second.She was just wondering if these were related to light, but there seemed to be some non-existent voices in her ears.

"Xiao Li, don't be sad, your mother also needs money for medical treatment... Actually, the teacher said that you are more talented than me, so I will definitely find a way..."

"Who wants you to think of a way?! Hypocritical guy!"

"You went to the teacher's seminar. I'm in a good mood, so I'll sing a song for you."

"With you like this, what good tune can you hum-hey, you really sang!"

"I hate your cat, it ate my favorite tropical fish!"

"As long as you are willing to play chess, you will be paid as many tropical fish as you want."

"What's the use of that! No matter how many tropical fish there are, they are no longer the original ones!"

"Go only has two colors, black and white, boring!"

"Then what color do you like?"

"I'm a girl, of course I like red!"

……

But now Yulizi doesn't have a single red thing in her room or on her body.There was only one red sports car left in sight, and it was that car that picked her up and left her mother's simple earthen grave.Unlike Dad's lively funeral, Mom didn't even have a decent coffin.Yuriko hated the selfish Ogata Seiji.

When she arrived in Tokyo, she picked up the nearest tropical fish box and threw it at Ogata Seiji.With a crackling sound, the fish box burst and the debris flew.Ogata Seiji's glasses were shattered, and there was blood on his face.Colorful tropical fish fell all over the room, and the bodies of water and fish fell on stacks of chess books. The man with an indifferent expression slapped her on the spot, and her heart felt like thousands of needles were pricking her... …

At this time, the phone rang.It is Natori Monday's song: "Paper Pinwheel".

On the screen was actually the name Yulizi hated.

Yuriko wanted to reach out to press the reject button, but for some reason, her fingertip was about to touch it, so she retracted it.

In the quiet Internet cafe, everyone is wearing headphones.Only Natori's slightly sad singing has flowed from the past to today.

I don't know where the wind blows from

Keep the pinwheel spinning

How much I want to use a paper pinwheel

Bring back your lonely childhood

It's time to part ways again

I finally made peace with fate

But have you ever let go?

……

At this moment, the shocking stone shattered the frozen river.Yuriko suddenly understood many things: for example, why she likes Natori Monday so much.

YURIKO: Let me tell you a story, okay?

Yuriko regretted it as soon as she sent it out, the current sai should be more concerned about Hikari's chess game, right?What is she doing?

But Sai replied without hesitation.

NATSUNE: Good.
