Hikaru no Go: I taught you Go, and you made the Kisei cry?

"Do you know... why Shindo has become like this?"

“I once saw the shadow of the Go God in you all. I can’t understand why Shindo…”

Su Ran remained silent for a long time without answering.

“Su Ran-kun, as Shindo’s rival, you… you’ve sensed it too, haven’t you? Shindo…”

Akira Touya lost control of his emotions: "I used to think that only he could fight you, so why, why did he become like this?"

After a long while, Su Ran still did not turn around, but finally answered Akira Touya's question.

“Shindo, he…”

Cherry blossoms fall, scattering and fluttering.

"Shindo will meet us again sooner or later."

Su Ran turned her back to Akira Touya and did not answer Akira Touya's question directly.

After saying that, he and Kawawa and his group left Haiwang Middle School.

Cherry blossoms droop and fall, drifting down in this somewhat melancholic autumn.

……

Failure is a constant throughout life; that's just life!

Brothers, when you see this chapter, I want to say sorry to you all.

At this moment, in front of the computer, a middle-aged man was crying his heart out.

In the story of Hikaru no Go, we have shared so many memories together.

Sai, gentle as water; Kouhiro Touya, a figure to be admired from afar; Akira Touya, always striving towards his goal; Hikaru Shindo, constantly searching for direction; and...

Su Ran, whom we love.

However, I regret to inform you that this book may truly not have any sequels.

Yes, I let everyone down, and finally... I was defeated by life.

Let me briefly introduce myself to everyone.

I am an ordinary online writer, over thirty-four years old, and I have been struggling and wasting seven or eight years in the online writing industry.

To be honest, when I first started writing this Hikaru no Go, I was writing it with the mindset of fighting a desperate battle.

On other websites, well... the monthly income is quite considerable, averaging around 40,000 yuan per month.

In November of this year, I learned that 7cat.com was holding an essay contest, with a prize of 250,000 yuan for the first place winner.

To be honest, this prize money is very tempting.

And I, too, could not resist the temptation and became greedy.

Why is it that even though my monthly income is already quite high compared to the average person, I still have such a strong desire for money?

To be honest, every family has its own problems.

My son was diagnosed with autism at the moment of his birth, an incurable disease often referred to as "brain cancer".

Over the years, to pay for my child's medical treatment, to be honest, I, a man nearing forty, often have to borrow money every month to make ends meet.

As men, we have no reason not to pay back the money we borrow from our friends, right?

So, faced with a prize of up to 250,000 yuan, I... was tempted by greed.

However, this one thought was the beginning of my nightmare.

I naively thought that with my own abilities, even if I couldn't win the top prize, I could at least try for second or third place.

You know, that's a prize of 100,000 yuan!

Unfortunately, this place, 7 Cats... isn't a place where strength speaks volumes.

Just today, I discovered that several books, whose data in various aspects are not as good as mine, occupy a very good position on the bestseller list.

The editor was contacted, but no response has been received yet...

It is very likely that there will be no satisfactory answer.

I'm sorry, I'm just an ordinary, average person.

I need to earn money to treat my child's illness.

If I write books on 7cat, I only earn three to four thousand yuan a month.

But, the cost of my son's medical treatment is exorbitant! (Group > 9:8,0s2:0:5/6, by ?呆ュ呆.) It's for my own use, and it costs nearly 58 yuan every month.

我还有个可爱健康的女儿，她年后就要上幼儿园了，学费发*书！群>9：8,0s2:0ュ58:5/6，由?呆ュ呆。发，自、生活费发*书！群>9：8,0s2:0ュ58:5/6，由?呆ュ呆。发，自，又是一笔不小的开支。

I'm so sorry everyone, I really can't hold on any longer.

In the world of Hikaru no Go, our protagonist is perhaps omnipotent.

But in the real world, I am just an ordinary father who wants to provide for his child...

Hikaru no Go...

When I first wrote Hikaru Shindo's line, "I! Also! Want! To! Play! Go!", the bitterness behind those words brought tears to my eyes.

As I watched Akira Touya draw his sword against Su Ran time and time again, I longed to be like him, a brave warrior who dared to draw his blade against the gods!

pity.

Life is not a novel.

Failure is the main theme that runs through life.

Tonight, the night is dark and cold.

Just like the website I'm on, just like the society we live in, just like... that long and painful life.

I'm sorry, Sai.

Sorry, Touya.

Sorry, Hikaru Shindo.

I'm sorry, Su Ran.

I thought I could give you a good ending, just as I gave you a brilliant beginning.

But I'm sorry.

On this thorny path of life, I retreated...

Well then, that's settled.

Perhaps, every story eventually comes to an end.

Naruto, I regret to say that I was unable to keep my promise and allow Yi Xing to appear and meet everyone.

Dust, I regret that I couldn't let you see this book standing in the center of ten thousand people.

Wuchang, Junyilan, A Little Kitten, Wuyou, Qixue Weishang, Qu Peng, Yishizhiji, Wanji, Xuansheng, Luanxin... and all the other readers who have supported this book.

I'm sorry, I've let everyone down...

Let me share my favorite quote with you all: It's the confession of the loser, and also the struggle of the indomitable:

"After the match, I felt my mind went blank, but think about it, failure is a constant in life, that's life. Donghe told us that this was his last moment, and he would rather it be a happy moment, so we agreed to let Donghe hold a press conference that wasn't too sad."

Perhaps this is also the final moment of this book. I would prefer it to be a happy one, so please forgive my hesitation and give this book a less sad ending.

Whether there will be further updates is still undecided; I need to discuss it with the editor after he comes to work tomorrow.

However, don't get your hopes up too high. Even if there are more updates, there probably won't be many. And those updates will likely just be the final chapters I want to give to each character in the book, a perfect ending. They probably won't be very exciting.

But how can life be wonderful all the time?

As long as we keep the most wonderful part in our hearts, that's enough.

Just like when we first met.

Just like...

The phrase the Hokage often says:

Nice to meet you. My name is Yixing. As for my surname... I don't have one.

Goodbye, everyone!

If anyone wants to contact me, I'll post the group number in the book review section later, so we can communicate face-to-face in the future.

Thank you all for your continued support. With you all, we are more than satisfied!

Goodbye!

Chapter 114: The God of Blitz Chess! Chess Thinking Far Surpasses Professional Players!

After finishing her campaign at Haiwang Middle School, Su Ran returned to Mr. Chishang's Go room.

Harada Ikegami is getting old, and now his greatest pleasure every day is to pet his cat at home and explain some interesting anecdotes from the history of Go to Su Ran.

The old man and the young boy seemed to be in a teacher-student and friend-like relationship.

"Teacher, I'm back."

Su Ran entered the living room and saw Harada Ikegami watching TV. She quickly greeted him respectfully.

"Xiao Ran is back! How did it go? Did you do well in today's chess tournament?"

Su Ran nodded, put down her schoolbag, and replied, "My results this time were pretty good, I got second place... But Haiwang, thanks to Akira Touya joining the team, won the championship again."

I see...

Harada Ikegami nodded and affectionately stroked the cat in his arms: "I heard from Ogata that Akira is also planning to take the professional exam this year."

Teacher Chi Shang thought he could glean something from Su Ran's face, but Su Ran remained calm, as if he had expected it.

Harada Ikegami looked somewhat disappointed, picked up his teacup, and took a sip of tea: "You kid... don't you feel a bit pressured?"

"When Ogata called, I was really shocked by the news. Just imagining that the Go world has two geniuses like you joining this year makes it sound so exciting!"
