Sumire Tohsaka

Soya Touji met Tohsaka Sumire outside the shogi hall.

Today's game ended faster than expected, and the media unexpectedly didn't get too entangled, which made him get out of the game earlier than usual. Smacking his tongue, he patted his shoulder.

"I always feel that Soya is a little out of shape today." The president of Jinguji complained, but he didn't intend to get any answer at all.

Are you not in the state...?

"Because the sound of falling is too loud." Sogu Touji said calmly.

"It's too noisy, indeed, the opponent this time is... wait?!" President Jinguji turned pale in shock, "It's too noisy? Wait, when will you hear it??? No, no, Are you replying to me with that sentence just now???"

"..."

"Ah, I'm so touched... Hey, wait a minute! Don't turn around and leave in such a ruthless way!"

The president of Jinguji grabbed Touji Soya who was about to leave, stopped playing tricks, cleared his throat, and looked a little more solemn.

"So, how long will it take to hear this time? What did the doctor say?"

The person in front of him is a rising star in the world of shogi, no, maybe he will become the white moon that no one can compete with, Jinguji has this hunch.

Because he has that kind of talent, and the effort that matches the talent makes the onlookers feel creepy.

Perhaps it is too hard to become inaudible to the outside world.

I don't know since when, this person has been wandering between "hearing" and "inaudible" repeatedly. No matter how many examinations he has done, the doctor only said that it was "because of pressure".

And what worries President Jinguji the most is Soya Touji's attitude towards this.

——It’s okay to be quiet.

No way, you brat!You have your own life besides shogi!

As long as the chairman of the [-]th generation thinks of this, he can't help but beat his chest and feet, wishing to personally enlighten a young man who doesn't understand the heart of the elderly (physics).

And a young man who didn't understand the president's worries at all just tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and gave a flat answer.

"I don't know the reason why I can hear suddenly. However, because the hearing time this time is longer and more stable than before, the doctor said that maybe it will be cured this time."

"Really?" The president of Jingongsi was stunned, with a gratified smile on his face, "That's good."

At this point in the conversation, the two of them just stepped out of the gate of the guild hall. As they walked through the long aisle, they happened to bump into two girls.

"Good afternoon, Soya-senpai." The leading girl bowed gracefully to them.

"Good afternoon, Sumire."

Soya Touji also naturally returned a salute.

The eyes of the president of Jinguji became sharp for a moment.

There is a situation!

This is that Soya—again, this is that Soya!It’s Zongya who doesn’t care about everything except playing chess, and even eats simple and time-consuming recipes. Drinking lemon black tea doesn’t put sugar cubes, only glucose! ! !

As the president of the Shogi Association who watched him grow up, Jinguji can completely assert that Soya Touji is completely a female insulator! ! !Not to mention talking to girls normally, he may only have chess games and chess records in his mind when he is face to face with girls! ! !

Now!That Soya!I actually remembered the name of a school girl!He's still talking to her!And call her by her first name!

This is absolutely absolutely true! ! !

The president of Jinguji cheered up and pricked up his ears to eavesdrop on the conversation over there.I saw the girl whom Soya Touji called "Summer" turned her head slightly, and looked at Soya Touji with those clear and transparent cold green eyes.

"Since we met, do you want to have dinner together?" The girl's fingers were intertwined, unconsciously clenched, "I heard that there is a restaurant with good food, my sister and I want to eat, but the two girls go there It seems that people will talk about planting a shop...So, can you ask Soya-senpai to accompany us?"

Soya Touji thought about today's schedule: "No, today I..."

"He's free today!" With an elbow, the president of Jinguji beat back all the words Sogani Touji hadn't finished speaking, and stepped forward with a bright smile, "What kind of media conference will be next? It's us old men It has nothing to do with young people like Soya, you young people go enjoy your youth! Well Soya, you just didn’t eat, so go to dinner!”

In the corner with his back to the pair of girls, President Jinguji strangled Soya Touji's neck while showing him extremely fierce eyes. The left eye wrote "You wood" and the right eye wrote "Hurry up!" I'm fucked."

What a joke!It's rare to have such a decent girl who is well-educated at first sight and has a crush on Soya!And it looks so cute!This is your last chance, Touji Soya! ! !

The president of Jinguji has a strong premonition that if this marriage (?) fails, Soya Touji will never find a girlfriend in his life!

"What a girl, you give me a chance! Go!" He pulled Zonggu aside, wishing he could grab his ear and pour his advice into his head, "This is youth! Do you understand youth?" I don’t want to drink wine when I get old and recall my blank youth, so let me go now!”

"..."

Although he had no idea what the chairman was talking about, Touji Soya nodded obediently.

Then he was slapped on the back by the chairman and pushed in front of the girls.

"Okay, then, it's time for young people~" The fifty-generation old man smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and waved his hands, "I'll take my leave first, old man hahahaha——"

Before the words fell, the trace of the president of Jingongsi was already tens of meters away, leaving only a rolling dust on the ground.

Touji Soya withdrew his gaze and nodded slightly at Sumire Tohsaka.

"So, which store are we going to?" he asked quietly.

15 minutes later--

The two were already sitting in the seats of the restaurant.Tohsaka Sakura found a reason to leave halfway, leaving space for the two of them.Touji Soya ordered oolong tea and hamburger steak curry rice, while Sumire Tohsaka ordered Colapis and maple pancakes.Because Christmas is approaching, the store is busy preparing Christmas decorations inside and outside the store. Before the festival comes, the festive atmosphere can't wait to be conveyed to everyone.

Soya Touji glanced at the two female high school students sitting next to him, but, with his personality, he would not say anything at this time to make the girls feel uncomfortable.This has nothing to do with thoughtfulness or self-cultivation, it's just Soya Touji's personal character.

"Senior Soya is thinking, even if two girls come to this kind of shop together, there is nothing strange, right?"

Sumire Tohsaka smiled, gently fiddled with the straw in the cup, and drew circles on the originally calm water.Her jewel-like green eyes watched Touji Soya silently, bending her eyes when they met his gaze.

"Because there was someone next to the senior at that time, if I didn't say that, it would feel a little strange." She pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I just want to stay with the senior for a while, will you find it troublesome?"

Soya Touji thought about this question seriously.

Unexpectedly, the feeling that emerged in my heart was...

"No." He said softly, "I don't find it troublesome."

What makes people feel troublesome is the words hidden under the words, fear of making mistakes, not wanting to be laughed at, wanting to fool others... People often try their best to cover up their true thoughts for one reason or another.Compared with those ambiguous and pretentious words, the empty and programmed official responses... This kind of straightforward and frank self-expression, Soya Touji doesn't hate it.

Unlike the first impression, Tohsaka Sumire is unexpectedly a very frank person.he thinks.

It was also her request to call her "Susire".Saying "Because I have two older sisters, if you call me Tohsaka, I will be a little confused who you are calling" please ask him to call her name directly.Thinking about it now, it is also a cute and straightforward thought.

Although Soya Touji often appears dull, he is not a dull person.

At this time, if you still pretend that you don't understand anything, it is not incomprehensible, but irritating.

"Sumire, you..."

He thought about the wording for a while, and he was able to crack the brain of thousands of chess games, but at this moment he was a little hard to choose what kind of words to use that best summed up his mood at this moment.

And in the end, what came to his lips was actually that question that was so common that it made people feel extremely thin.

"……like me?"

"like."

Tohsaka Sumire answered very simply, as if this was a question that could be answered without thinking.That pair of pure cold emerald eyes looked at him, without the slightest bit of pretense or coyness in them.

"I fell in love with Soya-senpai at first sight."

She asked frankly and naturally.

"Does the senior have a girlfriend?" She leaned forward slightly, looking up into his eyes, "If not, what do you think of me?"

"..."

Just like being suddenly played a good move from the front by the opponent on the chessboard, Soya Touji didn't know what to do in the face of such a direct frontal attack.

Sumire Tohsaka observed his expression and tilted her head.

"Hate me?" she asked.

In the glass of oolong tea, the ice cubes melted and made a slight shattering sound.

"Not annoying," he said.

So Tohsaka Sumire smiled, the lines of her eyes were already soft, but she looked even more charming in this smile, like a relative's cat, looking over with sweet and affectionate eyes.

"Do you like it a little?" She chose ambiguous words maliciously.

The ice cubes shattered and collided with the ice cubes below, causing the tea, which was almost still, to swirl slightly.

"A little bit." He said softly.

If you didn't like it at all, you wouldn't be sitting here.

"Then...do you want to try dating?"

She looked at him cat-like eyes, throwing the final question.
