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

Out of politeness, he asked first, "Excuse me, may we sit here?"

"No..."

Hayasaka Ai frowned slightly upon hearing this, and was about to ask the two to leave when Shinomiya Kaguya raised her hand to stop her.

"Guests are always welcome and should be treated with courtesy. Please make yourselves at home..."

Kaguya Shinomiya uttered in a cool, clear voice.

"Thank you!"

He looked at Manchi, the servant, and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask if I can find a shogi set."

He then called over a waiter, told him his request, and the waiter said it was no problem and would be delivered soon.

Within five minutes, the other party brought over the shogi pieces, and even brought over a small table and two small stools.

The service was excellent!

"We can't just sit here like this. Even though it's a bit noisy, let's play a couple more games!"

He placed the chessboard on the coffee table between the two sofas and said.

"Yeah, that just so happens that I haven't touched shogi for a few days either."

Manji, who was serving the imperial meal, nodded.

"I remember your specialty is the Bear Encirclement, right? I'll have you set up your formation first, and then I'll use different tactics to fight you. Watch carefully, because you might encounter this again in the future."

"Well, thank you!"

Manji, who was serving the imperial meal, nodded happily.

She had no objection to Dongfang Chen's tone; in fact, she was quite pleased.

He wanted to help her perfect her most proficient technique, the Bear Encirclement Strategy, which was a rare opportunity for her!

And so, the two sat facing each other and began their game of chess.

As for Kaguya Shinomiya and Ai Hayasaka watching from the side, they didn't care.

It's just being watched. But in serious competitions, there's not only a crowd of onlookers, but the whole event is also broadcast live.

Adapting to the environment is also a basic test for chess players.

The two of them continued drinking tea as if no one else was around, which made Kaguya Shinomiya, who was calmly drinking tea on the side, feel a little uneasy.

As the eldest daughter of Shinomiya Kan'an, the president of the Shinomiya Group, Shinomiya Kaguya has achieved outstanding results in art, music, martial arts, and other fields, making her a true prodigy.

Shogi (Japanese chess) is naturally one of her talents.

Although his skill level isn't high, he has received formal training from professional Go players, so he still has some ability.

Of course, only a tiny bit!

While she was drinking tea, her eyes would occasionally glance at the chessboard, not because she was particularly interested, but because she was getting a little bored sitting there.

'Damn it, what's wrong with these two? How can they play chess so fast? I can't keep up with their pace!'

'Wait, why would you deliberately give the horse to this woman to eat?'

'He even let the speeding car pass, is this man crazy?'

'Huh? This woman was clearly in the lead just now, how did it suddenly turn around?'

'So, she just conceded defeat like that? She could have continued playing, you stupid woman, thinking she was so clever!'

……

After the game was over, Dongfang Chen explained to Gong Yufan Wanzhi, "Although your den bear defense is indeed quite sturdy, it is only the outer shell that is sturdy. Only if someone plays two full sets can they disrupt your strategy and defeat you in one fell swoop."

"The 'Cave Bear Encirclement' and 'Elephant Hanging' games are similar in that they are about who reveals their weakness later. The side that reveals their weakness first is likely to fall into a disadvantage. Let's move on to the next game..."

"it is good!"

Manji, the servant of the Imperial Kitchen, listened attentively and nodded in understanding.

Chapter 88 This woman has taken a liking to me? (Please subscribe, thank you very much)

“Pah, pah, pah~”

The sound of chess pieces falling on the board was incessant as Dongfang Chen and Gongyufan Wanzhi were both engrossed in their game.

Beside Dongfang Chen, the girl in the gorgeous dress, who had initially been stealing glances, now sat much closer to the two of them.

Although they were in a corner of the banquet hall, their game of chess inevitably attracted several onlookers.

"I'm getting old, I'm getting old. These young people are really amazing!"

“I know this young man, he’s Dongfang Chen, the newly crowned Dragon King last year. And this young lady over here is a female Go player from Kyoto, the holder of the ‘Yamashiro Sakura’ title.”

"Playing chess at such a grand banquet is truly a first for me!"

"But isn't it a privilege for us chess fans to be able to watch such a high-level match here?"

"Enough! Shut up and watch carefully! The Dragon King is about to unleash his fury!"

……

Kaguya Shinomiya listened to the discussion of the onlookers without changing her expression, and thus learned some basic information about the two people in front of her.

Will the Dragon King retain his title?

"But it's nothing special. If I hadn't learned so many skills, and only focused on shogi, I would definitely be better than this woman in front of me."

'In comparison, this man, who looks about my age, managed to win the Dragon King title; I suppose he does possess some talent.'

'If I could recruit them as my subordinates, perhaps they could be of some use?'

'As for how to subdue it?'

'Heh, under a behemoth like the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, mere commoners have no choice but to submit!'

After having this idea, Kaguya Shinomiya waved to Ai Hayasaka, who was standing next to her.

Hayasaka Ai leaned over slightly, and then she heard, "Get me that man's information."

Hayasaka Ai glanced at Dongfang Chen. Although she didn't know what Shinomiya Kaguya was thinking, she still did as she was told.

Then she stepped aside, took out her phone, made a call, and then returned to Kaguya Shinomiya's side as if nothing had happened.

Ten minutes later, another bodyguard handed Hayasaka Ai a paper document, which she then glanced through briefly before giving it to Shinomiya Kaguya.

Kaguya Shinomiya also browsed through the information above. It contained all of Dongfang Chen's past from childhood to adulthood, including his life experiences, the people close to him, his personal preferences, and so on...

This is just the information found in a few minutes. If a real investigation were conducted, it would probably reveal even the type of underwear he wears every day.

Kaguya Shinomiya was fairly satisfied with the general information about Dongfang Chen, but when she saw the page about the opposite sex with whom Dongfang Chen had a close relationship, her eyes immediately turned cold.

'As expected, men are all the same.'

"But flaws make them easier to control. Once they're under my command, everything will be much easier!"

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.

While playing chess, Dongfang Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something.

He glanced around discreetly and happened to catch a glimpse of Kaguya Shinomiya wearing a mask. Their eyes met, but neither of them showed anything unusual.

He raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself, 'This woman has taken a liking to me? Hopefully, I won't make a fool of myself.'

Dongfang Chen didn't want to get into any trouble.

"I've finally found you, Kaguya..."

A slightly flippant voice came from behind the crowd. It wasn't loud, but it made Kaguya Shinomiya frown.

The onlookers turned to look at the newcomers, and one by one they stepped aside and bowed to greet them.

"Young Master Yunying, it is an honor to have you here. We have no intention of blocking your way, please forgive us!"

"Yes, yes, I just remembered I have something to do, so I'll take my leave now."

The newcomer was a young man with a thin face and a pointed chin, who looked like a sinister and cunning person.

He had his hair slicked back and was wearing a black suit, with a tall, burly man wearing glasses following behind him.

As the man fell, Dongfang Chen and Gongyu Hanzhi stopped playing chess. He silently stood up and pulled Gongyu Hanzhi aside.

Kaguya Shinomiya slowly stood up and looked at the newcomer with a blank expression: "Thank you for coming in person, Third Brother. What brings you here?"

"As a member of the Shinomiya family, you can't keep hiding in this remote corner. Your older brother needs you to come over."

Si Gong Yunying said calmly.

"I see."

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't say anything more to him and simply walked away.

She hadn't walked more than a few meters when she heard Shinomiya Un'yō's voice again. Although it wasn't addressed to her, it still made her stop in her tracks.

"You must be the Dragon King of the East, right? I'm the kind of person who likes to speak my mind. Would you be interested in doing something for me, Lord Dongfang?"

Dongfang Chen looked at the smiling Shigong Yunying in front of him with a bit of helplessness. "Am I really that sought-after?"

Those around him watched Dongfang Chen's reaction in silence, their eyes filled with a mix of emotions, including regret, envy, and anticipation.

"Excuse my bluntness, but you didn't even give your name, yet you immediately want me to do things for you. This puts me in a very difficult position!"
