The work of the Go master

Emmm... I hope these two don't have that kind of world-destroying power.

Hearing the sounds of the two fighting, Harushima Shika couldn't help but kick the wall. "Kuma Sakura, Takami! Can't you two just shut up for a bit?!"

The other side quickly fell silent, seemingly having been mediated. The Queen of Women's Flow still has quite the charisma.

But what country in the world can mediate between these two guys?

Inoue Hoshia pondered this for a moment, considering the medieval Go characteristics of Harushima Shika, perhaps... cough cough, cough cough.

After settling in, Harushima Deer listlessly lay on the windowsill, enjoying the comfortable warm breeze unique to high-rise buildings.

Thanks to its geographical conditions, the clouds in Japan are always very low, and from this distance, there is a visual effect of touching the sky.

She unconsciously recalled a sentence her father had once told her—

"When you transform into a dragon one day, you'll be able to see the universe!" The man, brimming with youthful exuberance, said, stroking her head and pointing to the sky, his voice brimming with boundless ambition to conquer the heavens.

Now that she thinks about it, Ke Zhiguang seems to be someone who was also shrouded in chuunibyou (a Japanese term for adolescent delusions of grandeur).

Are all men like this?

She noticed the binoculars beside her again, looked away from them several times, and was drawn back to them each time.

Oh well, I don't care about losing this little bit of reputation.

She simply picked up her binoculars and started moving them around in the distance and on the street. The scenery that she usually took for granted took on a different feel with the help of the binoculars.

So what is he doing now?

She trembled for a moment.

Because she saw Ke Zhiguang waving at her from downstairs.

puff--

Harushima Deer coughed up a mouthful of blood.

—How can they still appear out of nowhere like this!

Wait a minute! Am I being caught red-handed spying on the outside world with binoculars?

Chapter 41 Sweet Home

"Why are you here?" Harujima Shika asked as she hurried downstairs.

"I was going to call you, but then I realized I didn't have your phone number," Ke Zhiguang said.

"Let me make this clear first, I was just looking at the scenery through the binoculars, I really didn't have any ulterior motives!" Harujima Kashima crossed her arms in front of her chest, making an "X" gesture, like she was shooting lasers.

"Huh? Did you have binoculars with you just now?" Ke Zhiguang was taken aback, not quite remembering what had just happened.

--puff!

Shimishima Deer coughed up blood again.

It felt like she was tricked by the same routine three times in less than ten minutes, and each time she was the one doing the trick.

"N-nothing, what brings you here?" she asked, slightly reserved.

"I'd like to invite you to a small party."

What are you celebrating this time?

"For the housewarming party, I have successfully moved into room 336 of Peach Blossom Studio."

"You actually moved in? It must be very expensive there."

"It's really expensive, but I used a discounted price, so I can still manage to stay for a few months if I scrape together the money," Ke Zhiguang said.

I'll officially start working in a few months, so I shouldn't be short of money now, right?

Harushima Shika thought for a moment and then asked, "Besides me, who else is there?"

To avoid being tricked into attending a banquet by Ke Zhiguang like last time, let's confirm this first.

"Of course, there are many more people who will ensure you succeed in your act again!" Ke Zhiguang gave a hearty thumbs-up, looking like he was giving him a handicap.

To be honest, when Harushima Kashi was identified in front of so many people last time and welcomed like a celebrity, wasn't that just putting on an act?

She seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

Let's just consider this a favor to her.

"Hey! What do you mean? It sounds like I'm deliberately showing off!" Harushima Kaoru put her hands on her hips and criticized him righteously.

Ke Zhiguang was shocked, as if his worldview had been shaken: "What? It's not true?"

puff--

Seeing Ke Zhiguang's unwavering attitude, Qingdao Lu felt a lump in her throat and couldn't speak for a long time.

Harushima Shika changed the subject: "By the way, there's a question. You spent seven days training in Saito's office. Who were you trying to defeat? It couldn't have been Saito himself, could it?"

"It really is him."

"So...did you succeed?" Harujima asked with a worried tone.

“It actually worked, but just like yours that time, I used 10-second rapid chess,” Ke Zhiguang said.

Harushima Shika didn't show much surprise at Koji Mitsuko defeating Saito using such special rules. What really made her furrow her brow was... that she herself seemed to have indeed fallen to such unreasonable and chaotic punches.

—This guy only knows how to play blitz chess!

The saying "One trick is all you need to succeed" perfectly describes this situation.

She also mentally assessed the gap in strength between herself and Ke Zhiguang, and felt that she was at least in the lead at this stage.

Today, Shika Harushima no longer marvels at how much progress this person has made in such a short time, but instead seriously regards him as a peer who is catching up with him.

"So I'll take that as an acceptance of my invitation to the banquet?"

"Okay, I agree." This time, Harujima Deer was unusually cooperative and readily agreed.

—This banquet is being held at Peach Blossom Pavilion, so hopefully we won't run into a bunch of strange women like last time, right?

After exchanging phone numbers, Ke Zhiguang left first, a practice commonly known as "leaving first".

......

......

At noon, Ke Zhiguang arrived at Peach Blossom Studio, intending to inspect the so-called "cozy little house".

As he arrived at the door, Matsunaga Teiko, who was watering the flowers, smiled kindly at him, as always, as if the recent strange and bizarre events had never happened.

Ke Zhiguang returned a polite smile, deciding to pretend it didn't exist.

The daily practice exercises on the notice board have stopped being updated and probably won't be updated anymore.

Reaching the notice board, Ke Zhiguang picked up his pen and pointed to the blank space: "Miss Song Ning, may I write down the information for Banquet 336 here?"

So, does this count as misuse of a public vehicle?

"Of course you can, but given 336's infamous reputation, not many students will dare to attend your banquet."

"Okay, then I'll write it."

Ke Zhiguang wrote a long string on the whiteboard, the gist of which was that the curse of 336 had been lifted, a banquet would be held, and drinks, snacks, game consoles, and the like would be provided.

Then sign your name.

That's about it. We'll see how many come, or none at all.

Upon arriving at room 336, the unsettling feeling that had sent chills down my spine had vanished, replaced by a warm, homey atmosphere, just like in the movie "Sweet Home."

Oops, sorry, I added an extra quotation mark. It should be Sweet Home.

As you push open the door, a warm and inviting atmosphere greets you.

Automatic cleaning

A series of bright, positive buffs emerged from every corner of the room, describing it as a feng shui paradise.

This "never losing hair" thing...does that mean this room is destined to be inextricably linked to the topic of hair?

What really caught Ke Zhiguang's attention was this automatic cleaning function, which gave people a mysterious, futuristic feeling.

After experiencing all sorts of mystical phenomena, he also gained a general understanding of this function.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be quantum mechanics again.

For example, after a night of rest, when he wakes up the next day, he will find that the whole room is as clean as if it had been automatically refreshed, and maybe even the clothes have been washed and hung out to dry on the balcony.

That's so awesome! It's like getting a maid for free.

Although the scene of waking up to find everything there is eerie, like having a ghost living in your house, it doesn't matter. The chessboard automatically refreshes its items every morning, which is already mysterious enough, so this little automatic cleaning won't make a difference.

......

......

The next day, afternoon.

Ke Zhiguang waited at the coffee table in the room, waiting for someone to enter.

The first person to enter was Yasuhiro Yamaoka. Although a day had passed since his defeat, his face was still grim, as if he had been completely crushed.

"Looks like you're not very popular. It's already this late, and I'm the only one here."

Yamaoka sat down, feeling the atmosphere of this supposedly cursed room. Even with the preconceived notion that "something's wrong with this room," he still felt there was nothing wrong with it; on the contrary, he felt a strange sense of warmth.

"Don't rush, waiting for someone before the banquet is also a kind of fun. I've also invited a group of friends from the legitimate world, they should be coming." Ke Zhiguang naturally started chatting with the other party. That's how friendships between men are: either have a drink or a fight.
