Crossover Anime: Starting by defeating the Dragon King, then unexpectedly meeting a child.

She put her hands on her hips, her small face full of confidence.

Dongfang Chen chuckled lightly, "Hehe, I hope you'll still be this confident after you finish. Let's go in!"

After saying that, he led the two inside.

After paying the entrance fee, Yaksha Shinten asked, "What do we do now?"

Dongfang Chen casually pointed to an empty seat and said, "Let's go there and play a game with her first."

There was a middle-aged woman of unknown gender sitting alone in front of a chessboard. She wore glasses, had curly hair, and was dressed in a distinctive leopard-print outfit.

He also had what looked like a gold chain around his neck, which made him look like someone who wasn't a respectable person.

Yasha Shinten-i glanced at his opponent, hesitated for a moment, but eventually obediently walked over, exchanged a few words, and started the match.

Dongfang Chen and Miss Jing were sitting at the next table, a little distance away from them.

Miss Jing looked at the person opposite Yaksha God's Robe and asked softly, "Teacher, which one is the uncle or the aunt?"

Dongfang Chen: "I don't know, you can ask later."

Miss Jing said speechlessly, "Isn't it inappropriate to ask someone that kind of question?"

"Didn't you want to know?"

"No, I don't want to know anymore..."

At the very beginning of the game, Yasha Shin Ten'i was completely overwhelmed by his opponent, who was not playing according to the established rules and was even using some traps that were not strictly against the rules.

Yasha no Ten'i, who had always learned shogi by following game records, was completely bewildered. He could only grit his teeth and try his best to follow the game records, and the result was self-evident...

The first game ended in a crushing defeat.

Following the second, third, fourth, and fifth games, for a total of five games, despite substitutions, all ended in crushing defeats.

After leaving the shogi hall, the little girl stomped her feet indignantly in a quiet corridor.

"The current situation is that your shogi thinking is clear, and you have good playing style and basic skills. However, you rely too much on game records and lack your own understanding and strategy of shogi."

Shogi is a game of strategy; your opponent won't tell you their moves or tactics. To succeed in shogi, you need your own set of strategies.

Dongfang Chen patted her on the shoulder: "That's enough for today. You can continue to play chess here for the next two days!"

Two days later, we'll play another game. If you lose to this lousy chess player again, you'd better find someone better!

After saying that, Dongfang Chen left without looking back.

"You despicable, pathetic chess player! Don't look down on me! I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Yaksha God Tenge shouted at Dongfang Chen.

Hearing the voice behind him, Dongfang Chen smiled slightly, thinking that it was okay to put some pressure on her for the time being.

……

By the time I got home, it was already dark.

"I'm back~"

As soon as he opened the door, he saw four little girls with different personalities standing in the entryway; he had seen them all at the training center.

Hinatsuru Ai: "Welcome home, Master~"

Ayano Sadato: "Welcome back."

Mizukoshi Mio: "Teacher Touhou, excuse me~"

There was also a blonde little girl happily swaying her body from side to side, staring intently at him.

She is Charlotte Isoyal, also known as Charlotte, and is only 6 years old.

"Yes, Xiao Ai told me yesterday that you are welcome to come to my house. I'm sorry I haven't been able to entertain you at home."

Dongfang Chen responded with a gentle smile.

"Master~"

The smallest blonde girl came over and hugged his leg, saying slowly in a slightly unclear tone, "Master, I have a request."

He crouched down and pinched her cheek: "Hmm, Charlotte-chan, what do you say?"

"Charlotte wants to become Master's disciple."

Ayano Sadato: "Charlotte-chan..."

Mizukoshi Mio: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

"Really? Why does Charlotte want to be my disciple?" he asked patiently.

Charlotte: "Because, Master~ is handsome and skilled, Charlotte likes Master~"

Hinatsuru Ai: "But, Charlotte and Ayano, you two were taught by the same teacher, right?"

Ayano Sadato: "Yes, but our teachers basically let the children learn on their own..."

Both Ayano Sadato and Machi Gogoi were formal disciples of Daisei Kagetsu, a 7-dan shogi player, while Charlotte had only joined the shogi class run by Daisei Kagetsu.

Joining someone's shogi class means you're practically their disciple.

"Is that so?"

Hinatsuru Ai suddenly felt a sense of crisis, nervously looking at Dongfang Chen, waiting for his response...

P.S. Please give me flowers, monthly tickets, and review votes...

Chapter 50 Learned to be jealous at such a young age

"I'm sorry, Charlotte, I can't take you as my disciple right now."

As soon as Dongfang Chen finished speaking, the expectant expression on his face immediately vanished, and tears welled up in his large eyes, as if he was about to cry at any moment.

"Why, why can't Xia Luo become a disciple? Tell me quickly!"

Dongfang Chen reached out and patted her head. "I only said temporarily. Xia Luo, listen to me first. Let's make a deal. As long as Xia Luo fulfills the promise, I'll take her as my disciple, okay?"

Although this girl is indeed very cute, he now has Yasha-gami Ten'i in addition to Hinatsuru Ai!

Hinatsuru Ai hasn't been a student for long, and Yasha Shinten hasn't even become an apprentice yet. Just teaching the two of them alone will take him a lot of time.

If we take her in again, there'll be another one watching over us, and we might end up with four apprentices all at once, not to mention the empty silver coins that keep popping up every now and then...

In addition, school starts in a few days, so even he would probably be in a lot of trouble.

He won't have time to laze around then, and his comfortable and carefree life will be gone forever. He definitely can't let that happen.

Therefore, he cannot accept Charlotte yet. He must first raise Hina Tsuru and Yasha Shinten, so that they do not need to rely on him too much, before he can accept disciples.

Moreover, at the age of 6, Charlotte has not shown any particular talent, and being French, it is hard to say whether she will continue down the path of shogi in the future.

If another round of opposition from the family occurs, I'll be the one with the headache.

Charlotte asked, "W-what agreement?"

Dongfang Chen: "Within three years, Xia Luo-chan must understand why she plays shogi. If Xia Luo understands why she plays shogi within the time limit, I will accept Xia Luo-chan as my disciple."

"Ugh, why do we have to play shogi?"

Charlotte was lost in thought and seemed unable to answer for the time being.

Initially, Charlotte herself became interested in shogi after watching the characters playing shogi in "Naruto". With the help of her parents, she joined the shogi class of Kazuo Oku.

It could be said to be a decision made on a whim by a child.

However, if she really likes shogi, she would easily get the answer.

Just like Hinatsuru Ai, ever since she became fascinated with shogi, she has devoted herself to it wholeheartedly, determined to become a powerful shogi player like Higashikata Chen.

For Yasha-shin Ten'i, shogi (Japanese chess) is all the memories of her childhood, as well as a way to express her longing for her parents.

Whether it's Sora Ginja, Kuzuryu Yaichi, or even all the players in the shogi world, everyone has their own passion for shogi.

Whether it's out of passion, to make money, or to gain fame...

Everyone has their own reasons, which may be simple or complex, but they must have them. This is the foundation for a chess player to continue playing shogi!

"Charlotte has plenty of time to think it over, there's no need to rush."

He patted the little girl's head, then looked at the others: "Have you all had dinner?"

"Ate."

Several people answered in unison.

"That's good. Aren't you guys having a research meeting? You go ahead and do your work. I'll get something to eat first, and then I'll keep you company."

Hina Tsuru Ai: "Master, I specially made your dinner. You can eat it after heating it up a little."

"Really? Thank you, Xiao Ai."

……

After dinner and washing up, Dongfang Chen also came to hold a so-called research meeting with the little girls.

It's basically just studying some chess records together, looking for solutions to deadlock situations, and then playing a few games against each other.

While playing chess, Charlotte sat directly in his lap, almost triggering Hinatsuru Ai's dark side, something Hinatsuru Ai never received.

"Clap!"
