Zongman: Start by taking down the Dragon King and meet Zi

Qingtaki Kosuke looked at Hinazuru Ai and nodded with a smile: "This is Xiao Ai. The General Alliance contacted me a few days ago and said that the daughter of Hinazuru Inn ran away from home. I didn't expect that she ran to Tokyo to worship you, Xiaochen, as her master."

Dongfang Chen: "As for this, I called her mother yesterday and told her about the situation. Ai's mother was a little against Ai learning shogi."

Kiyotaki Kosuke nodded: "Well, for this, you need to fight for it yourself. However, if Ai really wants to learn shogi, she still needs the support of her mother."

"I will go and convince her mother about this."

Dongfang Chen raised his hand and touched Hinazuru Ai's head.

Kiyotaki Kosuke: "Well, you are not a child anymore, and you have the ability to be independent. Even as a master, I can't interfere too much in many things. All I can do is give you some advice and help you out."

"Thank you, Master." Dongfang Chen nodded.

Qingtaki Kosuke looked at Hinazuru Ai and said kindly, "Xiao Ai, you have really decided to learn shogi from Xiaochen, right?"

Hinazuru Ai nodded firmly: "Yes, I have already decided that I must become Master's disciple. I also want to become a chess player as powerful as Master!"

"Hahaha, okay, I, Qingtaki Kosuke, the 9th Dan, acknowledge you as my disciple." Qingtaki Kosuke said with a smile.

Kong Yinzi was a little dissatisfied: "Master, how can you be so careless?"

This little girl started to go against her as soon as they met yesterday, and they even had a fight this morning. Kong Yinzi didn't want a niece like that.

Kiyotaki Kosuke shook his head: "I'm not being careless. I can tell whether Ai is sincere or not. Just like Ginko when she was a child, she came to me as her teacher because she had enough passion for shogi, and she has come to this point today, right?"

Kong Yinzi's lips moved, but she didn't say anything else.

Indeed, if she did not have enough passion for shogi, no matter how talented she was, she might not have embarked on the path of becoming a female shogi player, or even a professional shogi player.

However, one code equals one code.

Even though Hinazuru Ai was recognized by Kiyotaki Kosuke, it did not change Sora Ginko's bad feelings towards Hinazuru Ai.

Chapter 28: First meeting with Hinazuru Ai's mother (asking for flowers, evaluation votes, and monthly votes)

dinner time.

Kiyotaki Keika made large portions of okonomiyaki and red bean rice, distributed one portion to everyone, and then sat down next to Kiyotaki Kosuke.

She looked at Hinazuru Ai and smiled, "Hello, little Ai, I'm Qingtaki Keika, your master's daughter!"

Hinazuru Ai bowed slightly and responded with a smile: "Nice to meet you, I'm Hinazuru Ai."

Qingtaki Keika: "I also want to become a female chess player. I'm still learning. Let's work hard together!"

Hinazuru Ai: "Okay. One day I will surpass that woman!"

As she spoke, Hinazuru Ai looked at Sora Ginko provocatively. Sora Ginko was busy squeezing the sauce and ignored Hinazuru Ai.

The corners of Qingtaki Keika's mouth twitched. Do you want to surpass Kong Ginko?

To be honest, Qingtaki Keika didn't dare to think about it. She had some awareness of her own strength. She was not on the same level as Kong Ginko.

But the little girl in front of him started by saying that she wanted to surpass Kong Yin Zi. Isn’t this goal a bit too far-fetched?

Of course, she couldn't say anything, so she smiled awkwardly and said, "Well, there's no need to rush about this, Xiao Ai can just take your time. But in this way, Yin Zi and I will also become aunts!"

Hinazuru Ai asked doubtfully, "Auntie?"

Dongfang Chen: "The relationship between fellow disciples is like that between relatives. For example, the relationship between a master and his disciples is like that between a father and his daughter. Disciples are brothers, sisters and senior sisters. For Ai, Senior Sister Yinzi and Sister Guixiang are like Ai's aunts."

(ps: Japanese kids call their parents' brothers and sisters uncle or aunt)

As if she had unlocked a new vocabulary, Hinazuru Ai turned around and called out to Sora Ginko, "Auntie~"

Kong Yinzi lost his defense immediately, smashed the sauce bottle on the table, and came over to stare at her: "Who are you saying is the aunt?!"

Hinazuru Ai was not afraid of her: "What's wrong, auntie~"

Sora Ginko, who is only 14 years old, is a little overwhelmed by the 9-year-old Hinazuru calling her aunt.

"Ahem, we're eating now, stop making noise."

Dongfang Chen pushed their heads back.

……

At night, of course, they stayed at Qingtaki's house.

However, at around nine o'clock in the evening, Hinazuru Ai's mother called and said that she had arrived in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, and asked for the exact address of the Higashikata family...

Dongfang Chen: "I'm sorry, Madam Hinazuru, I brought love to Osaka today to see my master. I rush back with love every morning."

"Okay, I'm going to see Ai tomorrow, that's all."

Hinazuru Akina responded indifferently and then hung up the phone.

Dongfang Chen rubbed his face with a headache, feeling a little tricky!

Although I knew from the beginning that Hinazuru Akina was very opposed to Hinazuru's love of learning shogi, but judging from the current situation, it might take some effort.

……

The next morning, Dongfang Chen took Hinazuru Ai on the Shinkansen back to Tokyo.

As for Sora Ginko, she did not come along because she had a competition to play in the next two days at the Shogi Association in Osaka.

It was just time for dinner when they returned to Tokyo, so Hinazuru Akina decided to meet them in a restaurant.

However, as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, Dongfang Chen narrowed his eyes. It was another evil spirit!

Moreover, it was not the ordinary evil spirit seen on the streets. Looking inside the restaurant, one could see a tall and ugly evil spirit standing in a corner.

It had its feet on the ground, its head pressed against the ceiling, its mouth, which was bigger than a manhole cover, wide open and full of fangs, and it exhaled streams of black gas that looked like biochemical poison...

After looking at that thing, Dongfang Chen didn't want to go over there anymore.

However, Hinazuru Ai seemed to have discovered something. She tugged at the corner of Dongfang Chen's clothes and said weakly, "Mom, where is she..."

Dongfang Chen looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a woman in a black bathrobe slowly standing up and waving in their direction.

There were so many good locations to choose, but they chose to be next to the evil spirit. At this time, they had been targeted by that guy.

However, now that I'm here, I still have to go over there.

He walked towards Hinazuru Akina's position without changing his expression. Seeing Hinazuru Akina up close, Dongfang Chen felt that this woman seemed to exude the aura of a superior all the time.

It gives people an invisible sense of oppression.

It can be said that she is worthy of being the proprietress of Hinazuru Hot Spring Hotel.

Her makeup was very meticulous and rigorous, with only light makeup on her face. She had the same blue eyes and silly hair on her head as Hinazuru Ai.

Although she is in her early thirties, her skin is well maintained and looks like she is in her twenties.

However, her complexion did not look good. She looked pale and haggard, and had dark circles under her eyes...

At this time, the huge evil spirit next to him seemed to be agitated as well, and roared at Dongfang Chen: "Stay away from them~Stay away from them~Stay away from them..."

Dongfang Chen remained calm and treated it as air, but the evil spirit's shout made him a little concerned.

If the evil spirit does not confirm that Dongfang Chen can see it, it will not be able to attack Dongfang Chen directly.

Strange world rules...

Hinazuru Akina stood straight, looking at the two people approaching, and said to Dongfang Chen expressionlessly: "Teacher Dongfang, right? I am Hinazuru Akina, my beloved mother."

"It's me, I'm Dongfang Chen. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hinazuru." He responded calmly.

Hinazuru Ai also poked her head out from behind Dongfang Chen and called out weakly, "Mom~"

Hinazuru Akina: "Teacher Touhou, please take a seat first, and Ai too."

"Come to think of it, didn't Ai's father come?"

Dongfang Chen asked casually, but Hinazuru Akinai's expression suddenly turned ugly...

Chapter 29: Both technical and physical strength are great? (Please give me flowers, evaluation votes, and monthly votes)

In Dongfang Chen's memory, Hinazuru Ai's father was a son-in-law who married into the Hinazuru family and had almost no say in front of Hinazuru Ahinai.

But looking at the expression on Hinazuru Akina's face, I knew something was definitely wrong.

At this time, Hinazuru Ai leaned close to Dongfang Chen's ear and whispered, "I heard from the adults in my family that my father died when I was three years old..."

After saying that, Hinazuru Ai sat back down feeling somewhat lost.

Maybe she has no memory before the age of three, but she lost her father at the age of three and lost the opportunity to experience fatherly love. This must not be easy for a child, right?

He reached out and rubbed the little Lolita's head, and said with a smile: "Master will accompany you to grow up in the future."

"Uh-huh!"

She nodded happily.

Dongfang Chen looked at Hinazuru Akina. Her face looked very bad, as if she was remembering something bad from the past.

The evil spirits at the side were still screaming: "Stay away from them~Stay away from them..."

He even yelled into Dongfang Chen's ear a few times, which made him very unhappy, but there were so many people in the restaurant that he couldn't do anything.

This evil spirit gave him a very strange feeling. It seemed that it didn't want people to get close to Hinazuru and her daughter?

He couldn't confirm it and didn't understand why.

He frowned slightly. It seemed that because of the changes brought about by this mixed world, the original plot lines that he knew in his previous life had some deviations.

However, as long as it does not affect yourself and the people around you, there will not be much of a problem.

We can only observe a second of silence for Hinazuru's beloved father.

Dongfang Chen said solemnly to Hinazuru Yashina: "I'm sorry, Madam Hinazuru."

Hearing Dongfang Chen's voice, Hinazuru Akinai also exhaled lightly and said slowly: "No, Teacher Dongfang didn't mean it, and you didn't do anything wrong. It was me who lost my composure..."

She adjusted her mood and turned serious: "Well, let's get back to the topic. First of all, thank you very much for taking care of my daughter, teacher. Thank you very much!"

Dongfang Chen: "No, it's not a big deal. Don't be so serious."

Hinazuru Akina continued, "The next thing is about my daughter's apprenticeship. I've thought about it a lot and also looked up the status of female chess players. It's very unstable."

Dongfang Chen nodded in agreement: "For ordinary female chess players, this is indeed the case. But Ai is different. She has a talent that most people don't have. She can go very far in shogi, for example, become a female professional chess player."

Hinazuru Akinai narrowed her eyes: "What makes you so sure?"

Dongfang Chen: "Because she is my apprentice, the current Dragon King's disciple. Under my guidance, the potential of love can be stimulated to the greatest extent."

Hinazuru Akina: "Really? Although it may be presumptuous, I still want to ask, do you have any experience in teaching apprentices so far?"

Faced with this question, Dongfang Chen was somewhat helpless: “Although I have indeed never accepted a disciple, Ai is also my first disciple.

However, as a disciple of Qingtaki Kosuke who has already graduated as a 9th dan, it is only a matter of time before I can be promoted to the 9th dan. I think I should have no problem teaching a disciple.”

"A disciple of Kiyotaki Kosuke 9th Dan? Even so, that doesn't mean the teacher has the ability to teach, right?"

Hinazuru Akina frowned slightly, it was obvious that the name of Kiyotaki Kosuke had some effect.

Although she didn't know how to play shogi, their hotel often provided a venue for the shogi association to hold competitions. Through what she saw and heard, she knew the importance of a ninth-dan player.

And Dongfang Chen has actually become a disciple of Qingtaki Kosuke, the 9th dan, which proves that Dongfang Chen has surpassed his master and surpassed the 9th dan!

The basic requirement for becoming a master in the shogi world is that the apprentice is better than the master.

This made Hinazuru Akinai start to re-evaluate Dongfang Chen, the 16-year-old Dragon King...

"Snapped!"

Hinazuru Ai slammed her hands on the table.

"I'm sure you can do it! Although the master has only taught me love for one day, he's a very good teacher. Although it's very intense, it's also very gentle. His skills and physical strength are very impressive. Last night, the master was able to easily fight two people at once until the early morning."

Seeing Hinazuru Ai twisting her body, Dongfang Chen's mouth twitched and he reminded her, "This girl is talking about shogi."

Hinazuru Akina was also stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and said, "Anyway, it's better to inherit the family business than to take on such an unstable job."

Hinazuru Ai immediately hugged Dongfang Chen's arm and shouted, "No, I absolutely don't want to go back. Stupid~"

"Love, what are you saying to your mother?"

"My mother won't let me learn shogi, so I'll say it!"

Dongfang Chen patted Hinazuru Ai's head to calm her down, then said to Hinazuru Akinai, "If Madam Hinazuru is worried about my teaching ability, there is actually a professional organization in the shogi world that trains shogi players. It's called the Training Club."

"A training session?"

Dongfang Chen explained: “Yes, it is an institution established specifically for scholars who want to become chess masters and professional chess players. It is a formal institution affiliated with the Shogi Association’s Rewards Committee.

Tomorrow, I can arrange a membership test for Ai and play three games. Her opponents may be members of the training association, chess players from the reward association, or even professional chess players. "
