I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

Kuzuryuu Yaichi watched Sora Ginko walk away and gave a wry smile. He had no idea why his senior sister was angry with him again.

Sora Ginko and Kiyotaki Keika left, and the reporters didn't chase after them. After all, the protagonist of the day wasn't Sora Ginko, but Kuzuryu Yaichi.

Besides, even if the interviews revealed the truth, would such news be interesting?

What readers want to see is news they've imagined, not real news!

Kiyotaki Keika took Sora Gin to a nearby teahouse, ordered two cups of tea and some snacks.

Sora Ginko watched her silently, seemingly unwilling to hear anything.

“You really misunderstood Yaichi that day. Miss Gongouhan only came to comfort Yaichi. She thought Yaichi was upset because he lost to you in the game of chess.” Kiyotaki Keika said to Sora Ginko, “She only gave him a symbolic hug before leaving. There was no special reason.”

"Oh," Kong Yinzi replied casually.

"So, don't mind. You know Bayi, he became the Dragon King at a young age, and many people like him. Plus, they've known each other since they were little..."

"What does that have to do with me?" Kong Yinzi tilted her head.

"Bayi likes you, there's no denying that," Kiyotaki Keika said.

"He likes me?" Sora asked doubtfully. "How could he like me? He's clearly just keeping me as a backup option, isn't he?"

"How could you have such a thought? You and Yaichi grew up together, don't you know what kind of person he is?" Kiyotaki Keika quickly said.

"Hmph." Sora Ginko turned her head away: "I only look at the facts."

"Well, this kind of thing has happened before, you're not angry about this, are you?" Kiyotaki Keika probed, "No matter what kind of trouble you two had before, you would always go back to him..."

"So, he can play with me when he feels like it, and be with other women when he doesn't?" Sora Ginko turned around and looked quietly at Kiyotaki Keika: "Sorry, I'm tired, I'm not interested in playing this kind of game with him anymore."

Although Luo Feng has become much worse, he is still far superior to Kuzuryu Yaichi.

"No, no, he definitely didn't think that way..."

“Sister Guixiang, I’m the one who always goes to him, haven’t I? Has he ever once come to me on his own initiative?” Kong Yinzi’s tone became more assertive: “I know that shogi is the most important thing to him, but what I’m saying is, whether it’s VS or anything else, I’m always the one who goes to him, right? Has he ever cared about me?”

"How many of my matches has he watched? How many of his matches have I missed? In his eyes, my shogi is completely insignificant, isn't it?"

“But, but he’s been talking about you more lately…” Kiyotaki Keika thought for a moment. In many ways, Kuzuryu Yaichi was indeed going too far, being too much of a straight man.

“Because I’ve become stronger.” Sora Ginko finally smiled as she said this: “He’s not concerned about me, but about my shogi, my novel tactics.”

Kiyotaki Keika was speechless. What Sora Ginko said seemed to make sense. If she hadn't become stronger, Kuzuryu Yaichi would probably still be the same as before.

“But you can’t deny his feelings for you. It’s true that he loves shogi the most, but you’re just like shogi!” Kiyotaki Keika quickly said.

"Really?" Sora shook her head. "I confessed to him when we went to Hawaii; I also confessed to him when he was at his lowest point. But in his eyes, I was worthless. Do you think he likes me? I'm sorry, I'd rather not have that kind of liking."

“Phew, Yaichi has had very little contact with anything outside of shogi since he was a child, and his dedication to shogi is second to none, which is why he has achieved what he has today.” Kiyotaki Keika said, “But he doesn’t know much about anything outside of shogi. Why don’t you tell him what you want to say properly?”

"You two have never had a serious talk, have you? You've never properly shared your feelings, have you? Why don't you try to communicate?"

“My life revolves around shogi. I can’t do anything else well, and I don’t plan to.” Sora took a sip of tea. “Are you done? If you’re done, I’m going to play shogi. I’ve found that shogi software can indeed fill some gaps in my strategies. I wonder if that kid has time. I really want to play a couple of games with him.”

“How about this, Gin,” Kiyotaki Keika said, “give Hachiichi one more chance? The last chance! Tell me everything that happened between you two, and I’ll handle this.”

She had watched these two children grow up, and she really didn't want to see Kuzuryu Yaichi and Sora Ginko continue to get along like this.

"Opportunity? Does it make sense?" Kong Yinzi shook her head.

“Of course it makes sense!” Kiyotaki Keika pressed down on Sora Ginko’s shoulder: “I’ll vouch for you. Yaichi really likes you. He’ll definitely confess to you when the opportunity is right! How about we make a bet? If he doesn’t have the same feelings for you, I’ll never talk about getting you two back together again, okay?”

Sora Ginko was also annoyed by Yaichi Kuzuryu's shadow. Since that was the case, she decided to let Katsura give up completely.

Let her know that in Kuzuryu Yaichi's heart, there is no empty silver, only his shogi.

Chapter 071 The Show Begins (Bonus Chapter with Blades)

Sora Ginko spoke as if she were talking about someone else, slowly recounting just how outrageous Kuzuryu had been to her.

Especially during the Dragon King battle, if I hadn't known he was under so much pressure, Kong Yinzi would have collapsed.

She was even prepared to confess her feelings, to kiss Yaichi Kuzuryu, and even lay on his bed in his room.

But how did Bayi repay her?

He thought she was useless, that her shogi was of no help to him at all.

Even though it's true, isn't it still hurtful to say it like that?

"Abaichi really went too far." Kiyotaki Keika gritted her teeth, almost ready to chop down Kuzuryu Abaichi with her sword.

Venting these emotions on Xiao Ai and Yin Zi—how is that any different from being a scumbag?

He's under a lot of pressure. Does that mean he can hurt everyone at will?

Kiyotaki Keika's initial actions were meant to encourage Kuzuryuu Yaichi, but now that everyone's emotions have returned to normal, she certainly won't speak from Kuzuryuu Yaichi's perspective anymore.

"If you understand, then let me go back." Kong Yinzi said, "I have something to do later."

"Half an hour, just half an hour will do," Kiyotaki Keika quickly replied. "It won't take you too long."

"Half an hour is fine." Kong Yinzi checked the time; half an hour was still enough.

She's gotten used to checking in at Luo Feng's place every evening at 7 PM. She'd asked for leave before, but she didn't want to ask for it again today.

But we still have to give Sister Guixiang face.

Soon, the two arrived at Kiyotaki Kosuke's house.

"Gin, stay here for a while." Kiyotaki Keika couldn't let Sora Gin and Kuzuryuu Yaichi meet at this time, otherwise there would definitely be big problems.

If Yinzi gets angry then, he'll definitely make things difficult for Bayi.

"Hmm." Sora nods. This is a room in her master's house, next to Kiyotaki Keika's room.

She sat there, and Kiyotaki Keika poured her a cup of tea before leaving alone.

Kong Yinzi didn't have to wait long before she heard a sound coming from next door.

"Bayi, what exactly is going on between you and Miss Gongyufan?"

The first sound that came through was that of Kiyotaki Katsura.

While she was in the tea room, she emailed Kuzuryu Hachiichi, asking him to come over. After the ceremony, he would give an interview and then chat with his friends, send his second disciple home, and send his inner disciple home. Following Kiyotaki Keika's instructions, he came over alone.

"Just ordinary friends."

Kuzuryu Yaichi remained calm. He and Gozen Machi had no other relationship; they were just ordinary friends who met through shogi.

He couldn't even sense the affection that Sora Ginja had for him, let alone the hidden affection that Mitsuru Gohan had for him.

"Do you know that Ginko is very unhappy about your relationship with her, which might even go beyond friendship? She's been angry with you the whole time." Kiyotaki Keika didn't beat around the bush and laid her cards on the table.

"Huh? Why? Senior Sister and Miss Gonggohan... have a bad relationship?" Kuzuryuu Yaichi was a little confused. He thought that the female Go players all had a good relationship.

"They have a really good relationship, so good that they're practically ready to fight!" Kiyotaki Keika said with a look of utter disappointment.

"Uh... I don't know." Kuzuryuu Yaichi scratched his head sheepishly.

"Ginja happened to see you two hugging that day."

"Well, she just hugged me without thinking. We really have nothing to do with each other. Senior sister is angry about this? Why?"

"Why? Don't you know that Ginko likes you!"

When Kong Yinzi heard this, the hand holding the teacup paused for a moment.

Sorry, that was in the past, I don't like it now.

"My senior sister likes me? How could that be? She's always disliked me, otherwise she wouldn't..."

"Have you ever seen her do that with other men?" Kiyotaki Keika glared at Kuzuryu Yaichi. "There's a limit to how oblivious you can be! If Gin doesn't like you, why does she always help you? Why is she still willing to stay by your side even after you hurt her so much during the Dragon King battle?"

"Because, because I'm the junior brother..."

"You two grew up together, so it's normal for her to like you, right? Why didn't you notice it before? Why was she so unhappy when you took on disciples? Why did she react so strongly when you got close to other girls?"

"I thought..."

"What did you think?!" Kiyotaki Keika said seriously, "Are you keeping money as a backup plan?"

"How could that be!" Kuzuryuu Yaichi shook his head hurriedly: "How could I treat my senior sister like that?"

He wouldn't dare do something like that even if you gave him the guts!

He was beaten up by Kong Yinzi since he was a child, how could he have such thoughts?

"Then tell me clearly now, what do you think of Ginko? Do you like her?" Kiyotaki Keika continued to press.

Kuzuryu Yaichi never imagined that the usually gentle and kind Katsura would be so aggressive at this moment.

If she had used that skill in shogi, she would have become a female shogi player long ago...

If Kiyotaki Keika knew that he was still thinking about shogi at this moment, she would probably turn around and leave in anger.

If it were the old Kong Yinzi in her position, she might have kicked her.

In fact, Kiyotaki Keika was really anxious. It seemed that Gin was serious this time, and she absolutely couldn't watch them develop into a melodramatic soap opera plot because of a strange misunderstanding.

The appearance of that man also gave Kiyotaki Keika a great sense of crisis.

"I...I...I'm not worthy of liking my senior sister..."

"I didn't ask you those questions. I only asked you whether you like money."

"I...I like my senior sister, I've liked her for a long time..."

Under pressure from Kiyotaki Keika, Kuzuryu Yaichi stopped running away and revealed his true feelings.

Everyone knew about this, but they all found it quite amusing to watch them do it, so no one brought it up and just quietly watched them operate.

When you finally walk down the aisle, you're sure to have many interesting memories.

It's fair to say that only the two parties involved, Yaichi Kuzuryu and Ginko Sora, were unaware of their mutual attraction.

Sora Ginko gripped her teacup tightly. "You like me? You've liked me for a long time?"

Sorry, I really didn't notice!

Hmph, even if I like it, it's too late. My heart is only set on shogi, and besides, I...

At that moment, her feelings for Yaichi Kuzuryu, which she had sealed away, began to loosen a little under the influence of a certain person with a perverse sense of humor.

"You've liked her for a long time, why didn't you confess? Do you know how painful it is to make a girl wait?"
