[Comprehensive] Save the male god

Coming out of Ogata's house, Sara's slightly hoarse voice rang in his ears.

"When I married Lily, Ogata-kun had a serious stomach problem. Lily once wanted to help him recuperate, but he hated those traditional Chinese medicines, and he devoted himself to playing Go. His life was very irregular, so it didn't work. Lily When he was seriously ill, he was always worried about his body..."

Thinking of the gentle woman who loved Ogata Seiji deeply, Aoi's eyes softened, "I will pay more attention to his body in the future..."

"Thank you, my lord."

Aoi smiled slightly, and turned into a nearby flower shop.

After buying the flowers, Aoi took a taxi to the fasting place where the ashes of Fumina and his wife were placed.Before she woke up in the hospital, Ogata Seiji had already dealt with the affairs of Fumina and his wife, and she might not have mentioned it because she was afraid of making her sad.

She had wanted to visit the altar for a long time, but it was not until yesterday when she was looking for books in the study that she accidentally saw the address of the altar.

Putting fresh white chrysanthemums in front of the spiritual tablet, Kui devoutly placed a stick of incense for the couple.In the original world, Fumina Ogata and Maki Inoue did get into a car accident on the way home after they got married in the United States, and all 4 people in the car died—although Fumina protected her stepdaughter, the child still failed to escape. robbery.

"I will work hard to live, go to the best university in Japan you want to study, grow into an excellent woman, and spend every day happily." This is the promise to Maki Inoue.

"I will take good care of Ogata Seiji and let him find true happiness!" This is a promise to Ogata Fumina and Ogata Yuri, "Thank you for saving this child at that time."

After staying for a while, Aoi bowed deeply three times to the spiritual seats on both sides and left.

After leaving the camp, Aoi took Sara to Tokyo's most prosperous Shibuya and Shinjuku for a tour.The bustling city makes Shaluo very curious, everything is new, seeing her happy, Aoi's mood also becomes very good.

Just passing by Chinatown, Aoi decided to settle her lunch here. After dinner, she stopped by to see if there were any Go supply stores. She planned to buy a new chess set.

In the past few days, she and Sha Luo have been playing chess with the expensive torreya chessboard set by Ogata Seiji in the study, and the chess pieces are made of Hetian jade. Sha Luo likes this set very much, because once, whether it was Fujiwara Chess players and chess pieces commonly used by Honinbo Shusaku are all made of the same material.

But she is always a little cautious when she makes her own moves. Most importantly, she wants to prepare a chessboard in her room for the convenience of her and Shaluo. Chess, one day he was fascinated by it when he saw her talking to herself and thought she was sick.

As soon as he entered Chinatown, Kui was talking to Sha Luo in a low voice, and two hurried people behind him brushed past Aoi, and one of them bumped into Aoi, causing Aoi to stagger two steps to the side before she stabilized her figure.

"Ah, what a man without grace, he doesn't know how to apologize when he bumps into someone!" Sha Luo's angry voice rang in his ears.

"Maybe there's something urgent!" Aoi didn't care, she comforted Sharo and went into a shop to fill her already empty stomach.

After eating, I asked the clerk about the location of the nearby Go supplies store, and the clerk was very enthusiastic and told her that there happened to be an old store with a good reputation nearby.

Following the direction given by the clerk, Aoi walked to the junction of the end of China Street and the Flower and Bird Market.From a distance, Aoi saw the shop the clerk mentioned just now, and the four Chinese characters "Kangyuan Chess Square" on the signboard floated like floating clouds, as shocking as a dragon.

Sure enough, it is an old store with a profound heritage. Aoi walked to the door of the store and was about to enter the store, but when she turned around, she was caught by the figure at the entrance of the flower and bird market not far away.

"Oh, it's the man who bumped into your lord just now! I want to see what he's up to!" Before Aoi could stop him, Sha Luo suddenly gathered a figure and floated over curiously with a bulging face. When the man was doing something, Sha Luo exclaimed and floated over, "That man is playing chess! What is he trying to do?"

Aoi looked at Sha Luo helplessly, wanting her to put back on the earrings, but seeing her so radiant, she couldn't say anything.

Forget it, it's rare to come out, let her have fun, I guess I can only see things through my own eyes in the morning, which has already suffocated her.

After a pause, Kui explained to her in a low voice, "Maybe it's the colorful flags? It's just a bet, probably money!" Sure enough, the man moved his position, revealing the wooden board beside him with words written on it.

"The chess game continues, the challenge fee is 5000 yen per game, and if the challenger wins, he will win 5 yen."

Most of the elderly in the flower and bird market are leisure and entertaining, and most of them love chess. It didn't take long for a few elderly people with birdcages to gather around and watch the chess game set up.Someone sat down soon, but it was a middle-aged man in his 40s passing by with a briefcase. He touched 5000 yen and handed it to the man to start the challenge.

More old people surrounded them, and following the moves of the two chess players, word came out from the mouths of those old people that one "flyed well" and the other "destroyed well".Although the man playing chess repeatedly reminded those old people to keep quiet, some people still couldn't help admiring the subtlety.

In the end, the challenger won 2 moves, and the chess-playing man complained and reluctantly took out 5 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the challenging middle-aged man, beckoning him to play another game, but unfortunately the middle-aged man seemed There is something else, I declined and left.The chess-playing man had no choice but to set up a new game again. This time, as soon as he set it up, an old man next to him who had watched the previous game sat down.

Seeing this, Aoi frowned, and whispered, "Then the old man will most likely lose."

"Eh? Why?" Sha Luo next to him looked strange, "You don't know that old man, don't you? You don't know his chess skills, so how do you know that he will definitely lose?"

There is another person who has the same doubts as Sharo.

"Little girl, can you tell me why you think old man Honda will lose?"

A hoarse and vicissitudes of life sounded behind Aoi, Aoi turned her head in surprise, and met a pair of wrinkled but smiling eyes.

The old man standing at the entrance of the chess studio was wearing an ordinary dark blue kimono and a pair of wooden clogs. His eyebrows and hair were white, his head was shining brightly, his face was covered with traces of time, but he was full of energy, squinting his eyes with his hands behind his back. smile at her.

Seeing the inexplicably familiar smile of the old man, Aoi thought for a while, and soon matched the old man with the written photo she had seen in the study, which included the chess records of a certain contemporary chess player.Thinking about the name of the chess shop behind the two of them, it is even more confirmed.

"Huh? This old man looks very familiar..." Sha Luo walked around the old man twice, and asked Aoi suspiciously, "My lord, have we seen this old man before?" And she always I feel a sense of closeness, why?

"Oh! I remembered! This old man is Kuwahara Inbo!" Sharo exclaimed. Although Kuwahara Jin couldn't see it, she still saluted him very respectfully.

"Sharo knows Kuwamoto Inbo?" Aoi asked from the bottom of her heart.

"Well. Because there was a time when Ogata-kun was playing chess at home, he kept talking about how difficult and annoying Kuwamoto Inbo was." Recalling that time, she was very happy to see Ogata Seiji's aggrieved face through Lily.Speaking of which, Kuwahara's surname is Toranojiro's nature!

"However, although Ogata-kun seemed to hate Kuwamoto Inbo very much, when Kuwamoto Inbo passed away, Ogata-kun was very sad and locked himself in the room for several days, and did not come out until Kuwamoto Inbo was buried. .”

Hearing this, Aoi's twisted willow eyebrows became softer.

So Ogata Seiji, from a certain aspect, also respects this contemporary Japanese chess master, even though he may have been defeated by the old man's foresight and psychological offensive countless times on the chessboard.

I didn't expect to meet him here, and Aoi was about to answer, when there was a bustling sound in the distance, the man playing chess laughed "haha", and said to the old man who failed the challenge, "It's just one and a half eyes, it's my luck ah!"

Most of the onlookers seemed to know the old man, and they also laughed aloud, but the old man was not angry, and directly took out another 5000 yen, and boldly said to the man playing chess, "Again! Just that game, I don't believe it anymore !"

"Okay!" The man took the money, and simply restored the chess board to the original position—very fast, obviously it has been played countless times.

Aoi frowned. This kind of scene, which became a tool for a certain type of people to earn a living after more than 10 years, did not expect to have a prototype now.

"Old man Honda is really stubborn. I think he will have to think about chess again tonight when he goes back tonight!" Sang Yuan Ren sighed, looking down at the girl, the old god was waiting for the answer.

Aoi smiled and explained, "I don't know that grandpa's chess ability, but if you are not a high-level professional chess player, I am afraid you can't beat the stall owner, and probably even a high-level chess player is likely to fail To the stall owner."

"How do you say that? I don't think the man who challenged him at the beginning is not like a professional chess player!" Kuwahara Jin's white eyebrows were raised because of his doubtful frown.

"If you are playing colorful chess, no matter how much you like Go, no one will want to go to the next game that is sure to lose!" Seeing Kuwahara Jin frowning, Aoi continued to explain, "I just saw those two When people walk together, they know each other.”

It means that the first round was a collusion between the two.Kuwahara Jin opened his eyes slightly for a moment. Although he had an intuition that something was wrong with the chess game over there, he didn't expect there to be such twists and turns.

"However, the ancients said, 'The Way of Go, the Way of War, the Way of Buddhism, and the Way of Immortals (players have different styles and temperaments)'. How would that person know where the old man Honda will put his chess pieces next?"

"That's why that person will let people continue playing after the chess is played, instead of the usual game." Aoi reached out and touched the brim of her hat, looking at the chess game that had ended during their conversation, "Probably the chess board that was laid out at the beginning It is evenly matched, but in fact the path of the challenger has been blocked, no matter how you go, it is just a turtle in the urn."

"Hehe... Interesting! It's really interesting!" Kuang Yuanren laughed heartily with his hands behind his back, "After hearing what the little girl said, I really want to see what this must-lose game is like!"

After laughing, Hitoshi Kuwahara looked at Aoi gently with wise eyes and invited, "Little girl, do you want to go and see with me?"

Sha Luo next to him listened to the conversation between Aoi and Kuwahara Jin, and couldn't wait a long time ago. When he saw Kuwahara Jin's invitation, he looked at Xiang Kui expectantly.

Kui frowned, and readily accepted the invitation, "Okay, grandpa."

The author has something to say: There are very few serious front male protagonists...

I feel like I can’t finish writing 20 chapters in this volume (?_?)

After Sha Luo's massacre in the Shura field and her own study, Aoi's current chess strength is probably above the level of professional second-dan.

The teacher appeared, and I remembered the appearance of Grandpa Kuwahara swearing at Ogata in the cartoon, hahaha, there are many people waiting to clean up Uncle Ogata in this volume, I call you an old cow to eat tender grass!Tell you old cows to eat tender grass! ~(￣▽￣～)~
