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

No.60 four times

After Guang went to the Youxuan Room, the number of chess players rushing to the observation room still did not decrease.Zuo Wei and Kuwahara sat quietly facing each other, with a chess board and chess sets in the middle, with solemn expressions.

In such a decisive game, it is reasonable for Sai, as Guang's teacher, to come to the scene to watch the game.Everyone here is a high-level chess player, and they put the chess game first at all times, and suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and sat down to watch the game.

"You are sai." Looking at the young man opposite, Kuwahara said slowly, "Hitsu Shinto, is it really you who cultivated it?"

"Mr. Kuwahara." Zuowei nodded gracefully, "I have only played chess with Hikari for two years. Hikari is very good."

The Internet Chess God was very popular back then, and it is also well known that Taya Yukihiro retired for him.It's not that Kuwahara has never read his chess records.The old man looked carefully at the powerful and mysterious legendary man back then, but the Dansi man lowered his eyebrows and held his sleeves, his words and deeds were calm and generous.I didn't expect Sai to be so young, and what I didn't expect was that Sai, who possessed such unique skills, didn't have the slightest arrogance. No matter whether he was treating grandmasters or novice Ogata Yuriko, he was kind and courteous.

"There must be a special reason for your delay in showing up." Kuwahara raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling, "You must not only show up to watch the situation now, but also have some kind of deep meaning!"

"My appearance... I have to be grateful for the encounter." Recalling the white-clothed boy who suddenly appeared in the dark, Natsume was such a child who was completely different from the light, but he was wholeheartedly thinking about the light and himself, and the monsters he met in Yayuan, Zuo Wei smiled softly, "Without them, I wouldn't be able to sit here."

And Guang's growth has really exceeded his expectations, "This round of Guang's is really not to be missed."

"Heh, who would have thought that the kid back then would be able to force Tianyuan to the last game!" Kuwahara laughed loudly, "He is your disciple, do you think he can win Tianyuan?"

"I have always had confidence in light." She smiled, but remained firm.

Hikari, I've been watching you.

Suddenly remembered something, Zuowei turned his face, and finally found Ogata Yuriko in the corner.She sat timidly and silently in a corner, holding some notation paper in her hand.

Yuriko was originally playing with Nase, but Nase was sitting between Ah Fu and Honda at this time, and Yuriko was very self-aware and didn't call her.Originally, in such a chess game, she couldn't keep up with other people's thinking, so she could only write down the score and think slowly.There are more grandmasters today than ever before, she didn't dare to take their place, so she could only huddle in a corner by herself.

Only Zuo Wei could see the deep grievance, unwillingness, and stubbornness under his eyes.Only Zuo Wei knew all her unspeakable thoughts.

"From pears."

With a concerned voice, Yuli turned her head in surprise.

Zuo Wei looked at her: "Sit next to me, okay?"

Such a gentle inquiry surprised Yulizi and was particularly moved.She stepped forward involuntarily, ignoring everyone's strange gazes, moved a chair and sat beside Zuo Wei.

"Yuriko, do you know who Sai is?" Ogata frowned.

"Mr. Ogata, sai is just a soul that is obsessed with playing chess..." Zuowei smiled lightly, "Your sister, the potential in Go is no less than that of Hikari-on this point, Mr. Ogata, believe me You know better than me."

Zuowei actually compared Yuriko with Hikari!Now, not only Ogata, but even Ryo looked sideways at him.

But Yulizi herself couldn't believe it.But maybe, deep down in her heart, she also knew it faintly.Names such as Monday, Shinto Hikaru, and even Fujiwara Sakai... In fact, they are all just excuses.

"Of course I know." Ogata pushed his glasses, a light flashed, "I've always been proud of Yuriko!"

You Lizi was startled!The unfolded notation paper was halfway spread like this, and she was stunned.

"You say, is he really Sai?" Among the young chess players, Ochi asked in a low voice.At this moment alone, it was enough to attract attention, and such a piece of news was said again, and the shock to everyone was huge.And Ryo has always been arrogant, and his respectful attitude towards Fujiwara Sakai is really surprising.

"Shinto said yes, so that's it." Komiya said.

"I can't believe that Mr. Fujiwara looks so young!" Honda said in disbelief.

He Gu looked swollen, apparently still sullen with light.

"Strength has nothing to do with rank or age. There is only Shinto who made it to Tianyuan's last game." Yijiao sighed softly, "I really hope to be able to play next game with Mr. Fujiwara."

"Sai shows up at this time, will he be a professional chess player?"

"I still can't believe this is sai..."

"Everything will be clear in the next round—"

……

Everyone was chattering, only to hear Kuwahara laugh and ask directly: "Fujiwara-kun, will you appear in the professional chess world in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, the observation room fell silent.

Zuo Wei's heart rose and fell like the tide, and there was heat in his eyes.Even if you don't look down, you can still feel the eyes of all the chess players cast on you, so hot and longing - and they, most of them, were either accompanied by the light, or overcome Many obstacles, step by step to the present.

Thousands of years have passed, the fierce battles on the chessboard will not stop, and the strength of the chess players will not be extinguished!

And he Fujiwara Sakumi, a wayward soul who has been wandering for thousands of years, is fortunate enough to join this historical torrent!

Thank the gods... thank the gods!

And people only saw this young man in palace attire speechless for a moment, his blue-purple eyes filled with mist.There is a soft and deep light flowing, as if there is another world in the fog, full of huge unspeakable enthusiasm and desolation.

"My father will return to China within a week." Ta Yaliang said suddenly.The boy's voice was even more resonant in the silence, "Father said, if Sai really shows up as Shinto said, he must visit the house and ask for a match."

"Xingyang—?!" Zuo Weiyi stood up, shocked.

"Even Taya-sensei—?!"

"No way……"

"It seems that he is really Sai!"

……

And the bell rang at this moment, the last round of Tianyuan, the beginning.

<<

"Nine o'clock sharp, Shinto-kun's match begins." On the platform, Natsume murmured involuntarily while looking at the train timetable.There was a train passing by, and Natsume remembered that he called Hikari that day, and Hikari told him nonchalantly that he had lost twelve and a half.At that time, Natsume was going crazy with self-blame.

"Yellow-haired boy, he will win." Teacher Cat said lazily, basking in the sun on the bench, "We must kill him well and rub him with five bowls of ramen."

"...Please don't just think about eating when others are competing, Mr. Cat."

"I said you—" Mr. Cat didn't finish his sentence, but suddenly saw something, and jumped up from the bench on the platform, "Isn't this Natori Monday!"

Sure enough, in the French windows not far from the station, there is a Go venue.Natori was sitting not far from the window, wearing sunglasses, and the lizard monster crawled across his neck.

Maybe because he noticed Natsume's gaze, Natori also turned his head.The two looked at each other across the road.Natori didn't look surprised at all, just smiled at Natsume, waved his hand, and motioned him to come over.Tong's figure also appeared beside Natori.She bowed her masked face to Natsume and bowed.

Natsume then hugged the cat teacher and walked into the Go club where Natori was.The hall was full of people.At that moment, he saw Chuan Tian, ​​a girl with moon-white long hair standing on the podium, beside her was a huge nineteen-way chessboard that was bigger than her body.

"This is Shindo's commentary on the Tianyuan War." Namon explained to Natsume in a low voice, "I was looking for Kawatoe, so I found out that she was invited to comment here today. I also came to listen."

"Mr. Natori, why are you looking for Kawatoe?" Natsume asked sensitively.

"Because of sai." Natori said exactly what Natsume guessed, "Speaking of which, you brought sai back, right?"

"Hmm..." Natsume hesitated for a moment, unable to figure out Natori's intentions, so he asked, "Should I not do this?"

"No... I just feel ridiculous. After so many years, that guy still can't let go." Natori smiled lightly, like mockery, but also like pity, "Natsume, I want to thank you."

"Huh?" Xia Mu was taken aback.

"The disappearance of sai was actually half due to my hesitation." Natori looked solemn, "If I had sealed sai back then and left Tokyo in time, I wouldn't have given the field a chance to take away the blood. I'm sorry for Shin Fuji is ashamed, of course, and Xiao Liang who has been chasing Sai for so long..." He sighed, "Between me and Xiao Liang... well, I have been watching him."

"..." Natsume didn't know what to say for a while.Zuowei's disappearance involves too many complicated causes and effects, which cannot be explained clearly in a few words. He only said, "I hope Shinto-kun and Zuowei can play chess without any distractions." We're in the process of eliminating demons and the like."

"I will do my best to protect Sai." Natori said, "I think Kawasoe will do the same."

Natsume nodded lightly: "I believe in you, Mr. Natori."

"Look, it's about to start." Natori pointed to the chessboard on the podium, and saw Chuan Tian picked up a few magnet chess pieces and placed them on the corners of the chessboard.

"Shinto-senpai started the game, as always, with Shuce's small corner. The Kurata chess player responded with Xing and Xiaofei respectively... Well, the chess game has reached this point, and this is actually launching an attack on the upper left corner of the chessboard, Shinto-senpai He must have counterattacked with a "tip". Look, he made a move—oh? He gave up the "tip" and defended with a "pull" instead? This is different from Shindo's usual strong moves... Kurata used 'Pinch' response, good move! Without knowing the opponent's intentions, this move guaranteed the advantage in the upper left corner... Entering the vine and playing 'Long'—looks like a further retreat?"

"What's going on with Shindo today?" Natori frowned, "If he continues like this, the entire upper left corner will be lost."

"There will be better uses in the future." Natsume said.

"Oh, what do you say?" Natori turned his face sideways with great interest, "Natsume, you also know Go?"

"No, I don't know Go." Natsume waved his hand shyly, then smiled again, "But Shinto-kun must think so."

"People who don't understand Go, but say they must think so?" Natori repeated, also smiled, and patted the boy's head, "You are so interesting, Natsume."
