Chess Soul's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 124 Two Generations of Honinbo

A week passed quickly, and when Hikari Shinto came to the chess academy again, he took the report card and happily swayed in front of He Gu and said, "He Gu, you see, I have already passed the No. I can participate in the cub competition."

When He Gu saw it, it was true that he was only one place behind himself.Then he flicked Shinto Hikaru's nose with his finger, and said, "Don't get too excited, you will be facing a professional chess player then."

"Yes, professional chess player." Iijima said: "The Young Lions Tournament adopts an elimination system. As long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated. In the Young Lions Tournament last year, by the end of the first game, half of the The students in the college were brushed off."

"So miserable?" Shindo Hikaru looked at Kazuya in disbelief, and said, "Isn't there anyone who made it to the final?"

"None of the college students made it to the finals." He Gu closed his eyes, spread his hands, and said, "There is still a gap between college students and professional chess players, and there is nothing to do about it."

Naise said: "So, some professional chess players regard the young lion competition as a party."

Ikaku looked at Shinto Hikaru without saying a word, he wanted to know the attitude of the person who is most qualified to fight against professional chess players here.However, he was disappointed, Shinto Hikari just listened to other people's speeches, and he didn't say a word, but when everyone dispersed, he said, "As long as you win to the end, you can play against Taya."

The third day of the countdown to the cub competition
Shinto Hikaru looked at the empty wallet helplessly, and said to himself: "I remember putting pocket money here, why is it missing?"

Zuo Wei also kept nodding there, and said, "I can prove that Xiaoguang really put pocket money in it."

The waiter who had been standing next to her for a long time also had an impatient expression on his face.

The owner of the store was about to speak when he heard an old and shrill voice say, "I'll pay the child's money."

Then, Shindo Hikaru saw an old man with white eyebrows and white hair, who looked like an ape.There is no hair on the top of the old man's head, and the long white hair starts from the ears. When he talks, he half-closes his eyes and hunches his back, looking very old.

Shinto Hikaru hurried over and thanked the old man, "Thank you. But, when I want to pay back the money, where should I go to you?"

The old man waved his hand and walked forward without any intention of stopping.

The people around him asked: "Mr. Kuwahara, why did you help that child?"

"This kid is unusual." Kuwamoto Inbo gave a strange laugh, and said again: "I think we will meet again, soon..."

Shinto Hikaru didn't hear this sentence, but came out of the restaurant and followed Kuwamoto Inbo to a nearby Go club.

After entering, she looked around and thought to herself: This place doesn't seem to be as big as the go club in Taya's house, but it looks pretty good.

Someone inside said, "Hey, why hasn't Mr. Yue come here recently?"

Another person with a mustache said: "That guy seems to have lost to a kid some time ago, and then he went back to the chess academy in Kansai."

"He lost to a child? How is this possible?"

"The strangest thing is that guy kept saying that he told Honinbo Shuce?"

The conversation between the two confused the people around, and someone in the crowd asked again: "Didn't you lose to a child? Why did you lose to Honinbo Shusaku again? Lost to two people?"

"No, he was drunk that day. When I asked him, he said that he lost to a kid with Honinbo Shusaku's chess skills."

The speaker was not very sure, then he touched his head and continued to add: "That's what he said, maybe he was drunk and talking nonsense."

The people around heard it, and they also had a very disbelieving expression, "Maybe Mr. Yue lost the game and made up his own nonsense."

"No matter what Mr. Yue said, he was also a professional four-level chess player before. How could there be a child who is better than him?"

As soon as Kuwamoto Inbo walked in, everyone who was still discussing stopped talking and looked at him in unison, hoping to hear something from him.

"Jie Jie Jie" Sang Yuan Yinfang laughed a few times, then lit a cigarette, and said: "He used to be a professional four-level chess player, but he has been wasting his chess skills for a long time. It's strange that a child beat him of."

Kuwamoto Inbo pointed to Shindo Hikari who was standing not far away watching chess, and said, "Maybe she can beat Mr. Yue."

For some reason, Kuwamoto Inbo felt that Hikari Shindo in front of him was a little different.He, who has never been a nosy person, actually took the initiative to help her pay for her meal. Now that she looked at other people playing chess so seriously in her eyes, he actually wanted to play a game with this child for a while.

Then, under the surprised eyes of everyone, Kuwamoto Inbo walked up to Shinto Hikaru and said very gently, "You like Go too, why don't we go and play a game."

When everyone heard this, their jaws almost dropped in surprise.Everyone who comes here knows that Mr. Kuwahara often comes here, but he has never seen him take the initiative to invite others to play chess.

What happened today? Could it be that Kuwamoto Inbo heard their conversation just now, and became interested in children, so he dragged a child to play chess?Everyone mourned for Hikaru Shinto for a while. It was a good thing to be invited to play chess by the strange old man Kuwahara Inbo, but it was not a good thing either.

Everyone knows that Mr. Kuwahara loves to tease people the most. It is estimated that this child will also be teased by Mr. Kuwahara.

Unknowingly, Shindo Hikari came here to inquire about Mr. Kuwahara's situation, and planned to exchange money at that time.But after coming here, I was immediately attracted by that game of chess. I stood by and watched the chess, but forgot about the meal money.

Hearing that someone invited him to play chess, he immediately said, "Okay, let's have a game."

Then Shinto Hikaru said to Zuowei on the side: "Sawei, today's game is up to you."

When Zuowei heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard Shinto Hikaru say: "It's just playing chess with someone I happened to meet. You should have no problem playing chess."

Kuwamoto Inbo looked at the child's expression, and his sixth sense told him that today's game should be fun.

"How many children do you need?"

After playing chess, no one asked Shindo Hikari this question for a long time.

"Let's go first."

The big talk made everyone around laugh. This kid will definitely regret his choice.

Sanghara Inbo laughed a few times, intending to play the same way as a professional chess player at the beginning of the new stage, but turned his eyes and said: "You hold the black and go first."
