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

Soon, a sign that read "Zishui Go Club" came into his view.

Zishui Go Club?

Why does this name look so familiar?

Su Ran searched her memory for a while, but in a short time, she couldn't recall where she had seen the name before.

"Forget it, making money is more important."

After pondering for a while, he still couldn't remember, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being and push open the door to enter the chess club.

"Hello, welcome."

As soon as he entered, the young and beautiful proprietress gave Su Ran a sweet smile and greeted him warmly.

"Hello."

Su Ran returned the proprietress's smile.

"So cute!"

The proprietress looked at little Su Ran and smiled, "You'll definitely have lots of girls who like you when you grow up, right? How about we play chess?"

Su Ran nodded.

"Then, please register your name and chess skill here first."

As he spoke, he handed over a form.

"Chess power?"

Su Ran frowned slightly: "I'm not very clear on this. I've only played with someone once."

He paused, seemingly afraid that the landlady would misunderstand that he didn't know anything, and quickly added, "But I'm very capable, you know."

"Unsure of one's own skill level, yet feeling incredibly strong?"

Upon hearing this, the proprietress's bright smile froze, and she said with surprise and doubt:

"Huh? That's strange... How come what you're saying is exactly the same as what that little kid said earlier?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran became very curious and immediately asked in bewilderment:

"What, has anyone else said the same thing as me?"

"Of course, just ten minutes ago, a child about your age said something similar."

"Hmm, let me check what the child's name is... Ah, found it, this is it!"

As she spoke, the proprietress pointed to a name on the registration form and handed it to Su Ran.

Follow what the other person points out.

soon.

A name that was all too familiar suddenly appeared before his eyes—

Hikaru Shindo!

I go!

He's actually the protagonist of the Hikaru no Go world!

What is he doing here?

Su Ran was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, she suddenly realized that the sign for "Zishui Go Club" was the place where Hikaru Shindo met Akira Touya when they first played Go!

No wonder it looked so familiar!

"So... my current timeline is exactly at the stage when Hikaru Shindo first met Sai and began to show his talent in the way of Go."

"The young and fearless Hikaru Shindo, Akira Touya whose Go skills are not yet fully developed, and Yukihiro Touya who is striving towards the peak..."

"With so many experts as my sparring partners, my Go skills will surely improve significantly in a short period of time. This is truly great news!"

Taking a deep breath, Su Ran suppressed her excitement and asked the proprietress:

"Um, may I go and watch Hikaru Shindo's game?"

Watching Hikaru Shindo up close—or rather, the duel between Sai and Akira Touya—would definitely be of great benefit to his improvement in Go skills.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress smiled gently:

"You're really lucky. The kid who played against Hikaru Shindo today was a really strong player!"

The proprietress acted mysteriously, but Su Ran already knew that the so-called expert was none other than Akira Toya, the only son of Toya Kouyo.

three years ago.

Su Ran still vividly remembers the scene where her father was defeated by Touya Kouyo in the ten-game match.

Logically speaking...

This father and son had a deep-seated grudge against their family.

But actually.

In the past three years, my father has never shown any hatred towards Touya Kouhiro in his words or actions.

in contrast.

Sometimes, when my father was drunk, he would often praise the other person.

That is precisely the point.

This convinced Su Ran that her father's surrender back then was definitely not due to any dirty tricks by Touya Kouyo.

And in his heart, he naturally wouldn't regard Touya and his son as enemies.

most.

In other words, there is a strong desire to defeat them.

This desire stemmed not only from a desire to vindicate his father, but also from a longing to learn from and compete with masters.

Just as Su Ran was lost in thought, the proprietress's words pulled him back to reality:

"Oh, by the way, if you want to go in and watch the match, you'll need to pay 500 Yingzhou coins first."

Do I have to pay just to look?

Su Ran cursed the "shady merchant" in her heart, but still obediently counted out the money and handed it to the other party.

no way.

He might come here to gamble on chess again in the future, just to pay his respects.

After he paid, the proprietress's attitude became even more enthusiastic, and she smiled gently at him:

"It's over there, don't go the wrong way."

Following the direction pointed out by the proprietress, Su Ran quickly found the private room where Hikaru Shindo and Akira Toya were playing chess.

but.

Before he even entered the door.

A series of boos, mixed with dissatisfaction, came from inside the private room.

……

Chapter Six: System, are you kidding me?

"Tch, I told you long ago that this kid doesn't understand Go at all, now you believe me, right?"

"Yes, this opening move of placing pieces on small targets is a pattern from hundreds of years ago. I really don't know what this child was thinking, putting the crucial first move in such a slow-paced position. It's a complete waste of talent."

"In my opinion, this kid was just bragging. With a move that made such a mistake right from the start, he doesn't deserve the title of 'very good' at all!"

Hearing these comments, Su Ran couldn't help but smile.

How could these Go enthusiasts, who aren't even professional players, possibly understand Sai's deeper meaning?

It won't be long before Sai's Go skills will open the eyes of these people.

You should know that he was the greatest Go player of the Heian period.

Even in today's era of Go's great popularity, he is comparable to any Go master.

I am afraid.

In the current Go world, only two people can defeat Zuo Wei by a narrow margin.

Firstly, there is his own father.

Secondly, there is myself activating the golden skill to perform simulation calculations.

Besides, even top fighters like Touya Kouyo and Kuwabara Honinbo are slightly inferior to Sai.

"Sai's first duel with Akira Touya is such a spectacular match, I absolutely can't miss it!"

The thought of the two masters clashing filled Su Ran with excitement, and she quickly pushed open the door and went inside.

"clatter!"

Just as he entered the room, Akira Touya placed his first chess piece.

Su Ran stared intently and saw that Touya Akira's move had landed on the star position in the sixteenth row and sixteenth column.

Compared to Hikaru Shindo's previous three-row, seventeen-column small eye technique, it created a huge gap.

Both sides seemed to be keeping a distance and not invading each other.

[Ding! A skilled player is currently engaged in a game. The Go simulator is starting up...]

[Latest task updated: Select the white player, simulate this game, and win the match in three simulated scenarios!]

Should we select White for simulation?

Does that mean I need to play as Akira Touya and defeat Sai?
