The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

In the crowd, I saw that person.

The white shirt is matched with a purple vest, and the coat is hung on the wrist properly.Stand still so straight.It is still the familiar appearance.

The person I have been thinking about for a long time.

At that moment, it seemed that he was not at the entrance of the subway station, not in front of my eyes, but already in my heart.

As long as there is him, no matter how many people are in the middle, I can know where he is at the first time.

The red heat began to spread on the face, and it intensified.But the instigator who made me so flustered looked over leisurely at this moment, and then smiled slightly when he caught the moment of himself.

Guang paused, and then quickly walked towards the heart.

"Welcome back (お帰り)." The family-like intimate dialogue finally gave Guang a sense of reality in the past few days, and he has indeed returned.And the longing that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time also overwhelmed him at this moment like an overwhelming mountain.

Finally, I was able to take a good look at the person in front of me. I haven't seen him for a few days, and my chin seems to be a little sharper.Although energetic, his complexion looked haggard.You can clearly feel the siren sound in your head constantly beeping, and the temperature on your face is also rising rapidly in direct proportion.

Hikaru stared at Taya foolishly for a long time before choking out a sentence: "I'm back (ただいま)."

Liang asked him with some uncertainty: "Can you accompany me somewhere?"

Light didn't speak, just nodded vigorously.

In the grove, only two roads away from the station, it feels like another world.

The further you go in, the quieter it becomes.The crowd disappeared, the hustle and bustle disappeared.

The two walked slowly along the artificial lake, and neither of them said a word at first.

In late autumn, the maple leaves beside the road are gradually turning red, which is fascinating.

Looking at the maple trees beside the road, Liang said calmly, "This is a place I like very much. Every time I come here, I can't help but think, if only I could show you sometime. "

Guang has been following Liang with his head down, and when he heard this, he raised his head slightly: "Taya, you..."

Liang turned his head to look at him, smiled as if seeing through, and said, "You want to ask, when did I fall in love with you?"

Can you please stop being so direct! !The mane on Guang's back stood up one by one, but there was childlike doubt and innocence in the eyes looking at Liang.

Liang finally stopped, and reached out his hand to touch Guang's cheek naturally: "Actually, at first, I didn't want to pay attention to you. Later, when I searched for you and lost to you again and again, what I thought was what I won you. Later, the game with you in the three-handed game made me very disappointed in you. I told myself that from now on, I will go at my own pace, don't look back, don't pay attention, but when I want to When I want to take back my gaze on you, I find that I can’t take it back again. As long as it encounters something related to your entry into the vine, all principles and positions seem to disappear. It’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”

As Liang said, he laughed first: "But even if I found out what I really think about you, um... just like you, I didn't want to tell you at first. As for now, since you already know everything, I I don't have any regrets." After a pause, he gently squeezed his bare hands, "I've finished what I want to say. If possible, I also want to... listen to your thoughts."

Hearing Taya's confession, Hikari was stunned for a long time.

It was his seemingly calm tone, every word, but it resounded in his heart like echoes, and pressed on his spine like a huge stone, making him almost bend over.

The man in front of him who is not good at words, he is too straightforward, and he doesn't leave even a little leeway for himself.

You say, you like me.But do you really know Hikari Shinto?Will you still like Shindo Hikari when you finally understand how despicable he is?

Hikaru looked deeply at Taya, asking silently in his heart.But just because this person is a big fool, I have to tell him everything exactly.

Maybe he can't accept it for a while, but he has to do it.

In Guang's eyes, Liang read distress, restlessness and determination.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the light had already grabbed his wrist, and quickly led him away from the grove.

Where the taxi stopped, the word "Jin Teng" was impressively written on the mahogany sign at the door.

After getting out of the car, Hikaru pulled Taya, rang the doorbell, and shouted into the door: "Grandpa!!!"

Heihachi came out and opened the door as if urged by his own grandson, just about to complain when he saw Toya Ryo behind Hikari, his eyes lit up: "This is not..."

When the four eyes met, Liang nodded slightly, and just about to make a sound, he was led directly into the room by the light.

"Grandpa, let me go to the warehouse!" After finishing speaking, he dragged Taya all the way to the backyard in a hurry.

"The ladder is a bit steep, so be careful."

Arriving at the warehouse, after Guang whispered a reminder, he took the lead in climbing up to the attic.

It was Liang's first time climbing a ladder, and the movements were a bit strenuous.When he climbed up to the attic, he saw Shinto was facing away from him, looking down at a chess block that looked a bit old.

"This chessboard looks old, doesn't it?" Hearing the noise behind him, Hikaru didn't turn around, but kept mumbling, "But I, met Sai on this chessboard. It's on this, chessboard."

"..." I have imagined the scene countless times, and I thought it would be the day when Hikari entered the Honinbo round-robin competition, or the day when he won the Honinbo title.

But when this moment came so unexpectedly, Liang felt his mind was blank and his breathing was a little disordered.

"I still remember the scene of that day. In the dim attic, suddenly there was a voice, gentle and grateful. As countless fluorescent green lights overflowed from the depths of the chessboard, the next second, I saw He, Sato Fujiwara, also known as Sai. Wearing a white hunting suit, a black high hat, long purple hair hanging softly on his shoulders, and there are dots of fluorescent green light floating around his body like fireflies. He seems to wake up from a thousand-year slumber god, opened his eyes and gazed at me."

Guang, who was narrating the past, seemed to be immersed in his own memories, and the expression on his face and voice were softer than ever before.

"Later, how should I put it, I was possessed by that guy Sai." Thinking of the time when Sai had just possessed him, he fainted and vomited again, Guang couldn't help laughing softly, "According to that guy, Before me, he was possessed by Honinbo Hidetsuke. The invincibility of the black is the legend he created. Unfortunately, Toranojiro died young... After awakening in my body again, that guy kept on I was clamoring to play chess, but I had no choice but to find a Go club. Then, there... I met you."

Hikaru turned around to look for Taya's gaze, but he didn't see much surprise in his eyes.

He stretched out his hand, and Liang passed it knowingly. As soon as he exerted force on his hand, he pulled Liang to his side as if he was kneeling on one knee.

"You are right. From the first day I met you, I have Sai in my body. In the first two times in the clubhouse, and the first half of the three generals match, it was him who played against you; the new first stage match , it was he who played chess against Mr. Taya; the later online chess player Sai, of course, was also him. At the beginning, I didn’t think about playing chess by myself, until I saw how persistent you were after a game in the North District Go Tournament that winter Chasing after Sai, the first time I want to take that step..."

Years of past events, in the mouth of the light, restore its original appearance bit by bit.Ryo recalled what Kuwamoto Inbo once said to himself, perhaps in the dark, it was he who changed Shinto's life, not Shinto who influenced him...

Finally talking about the whole story of his absence from the Big Hands Match, Hikaru caressed the corner of the chessboard where there used to be bloodstains, and his voice was full of nostalgia: "There was a big bloodstain here, and it was because I could see it that I was able to meet Sai. Later, the bloodstain faded away." He disappeared, disappeared, and Sai disappeared with him. Before that guy disappeared, he yelled desperately like that, but I didn't take it seriously at all..."

Hikari's voice gradually faded, and he quickly wiped his eyes with his palm like a stubborn child, to prevent Taya from seeing his sadness: "Didn't you always want to know about Sai before? Now, I will tell you everything You. Are you sure you like me?"

——Would you still like me who lied to you and even took away your chance to play against Sai?

When the dusty past finally ceased to be a secret, Guang looked into Taya's eyes like a penitent waiting for the final judgment, but his heart was filled with tranquility.

But Taya reacted as if he already knew everything.

He raised his hand to touch Guang's cheek with pity, and the eyes that looked at him were still so soft.

"Taya, could it be that you..." A flash of surprise flashed in Guang's eyes, but then a knowing smile rose from the corner of his lips little by little.

Liang nodded understandingly: "Since you said that you will tell me 'someday', then I just have to wait." And now, I finally waited.

Still maintaining the posture of kneeling on one knee, this time, it was Ryo who handed his hand to the light: "My answer to your question just now has never changed, and it is even more determined than before. What about you, Shinto Hikari ?”

The slightly provocative tone made Sisi faint in the entire attic unobtrusively.

Guang locked Liang's eyes tightly, as if to verify the authenticity of the words in his eyes.But in the end, I gave up.

His right hand was covered with Liang's palm, his face was resigned to his fate, but a fox-like cunning flashed in his eyes.

The moment Liang clenched Guang's right hand, an even stronger reaction force pulled Liang Kankan closer to Guang!

"As you wish." Guang smiled mischievously, but when he looked at his lover, his eyes were shining like falling into the sea of ​​stars.

Liang's hand loosened at this moment.

He gently caressed his smooth face, and solemnly advised: "Shinto, it's too late for you to regret it now. But once you miss this time, I will never let you go again. So, first ask yourself, what do you want?" Is my mood out of attachment, getting used to my existence, or..."

In light's cognition, Ryo Taya is always confident, decisive, and always knows what he wants.

For the first time, he heard hesitation and uneasiness in his words.And this lack of self-confidence comes from himself.

While his thoughts were spinning and turning, he heard his heart beating violently, as if something would come out of his chest in the next second.

Perhaps this is possessiveness.I want this pair of emerald-like cool and bright pupils to look at only for myself; I want this person who has always been calm and reserved in front of me to be happy and angry only because of myself.

Guang interrupted Liang's words like revenge, pulled his skirt and directly pressed his lips.

If so, it can reduce the anxiety in your heart;

If so, I can truly convey my feelings to you...

The bright pupils are constantly enlarged in the field of light, but the softness on the lips is real, and the breath on the cheeks is also real...

Guang's lips quietly covered Liang's lips like this, as if he wanted to savor the taste of his lover, he didn't make any further movements.

Just when he was about to evacuate, Liang grabbed his right hand and pulled him into his arms.With his head buried in Liang's shoulder socket, the strength coming from his waist could clearly feel his arms tightening a little bit.

"As I said, once you say it, you will have no chance to escape... I will not give you another chance."

The hoarse and magnetic voice grazed the pinna and entered Guang's brain, with a slightly itchy tingling sensation.The words that sounded like an ultimatum sounded like the best words of love.

Looking at the lover in his arms who was staring at him like twinkling eyes, Liang called out Guang's name like a raving in his mouth.Slightly raised his chin, after lightly pecking and probing, Liang leaned down, held the back of Guang's head and kissed him deeply.His kiss was like a swimming fish, cruising gently on Guang's lips, biting his lips lightly, moistening his lover's chapped lips a little bit.

Guang responded awkwardly in his arms, and when he was moved, his hands couldn't help wrapping around his waist, so that they could fit closer together.

Liang's kiss was deep and long, and the tip of his tongue lightly licked the teeth of his lover, but when he was about to pry open the gap between his lover's teeth, he gently let go of the light, only holding his head, and placed it on his forehead. Fall down a kiss that tastes lightly.

The two who had tasted the taste of love for the first time had a thin layer of crimson on their faces at this moment.The glossy lip color is even more vivid because of the moisture just now.

Looking at each other, Guang's wrist was around Liang's neck, Liang put his head on his forehead, and the tip of his nose rubbed against Guang's.At that moment, the once vacant place in my heart was filled little by little like flowers blooming, exuding a seductive fragrance.The two stars in the chess world perceive each other's existence so closely, they can't help but want to smile.

In the air, there seemed to be a crisp silver bell, telling the thoughts that Guang had never said——

I'm in love with the best guy in the world.

That excellent, handsome, and gentle person belongs to Hikari Shinto.

Toya Ryo is from Shinto Hikari.

Fortunately, they didn't miss it.

Fortunately, they finally faced each other frankly.
