A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

"How could I forget Ai? She's a cosplayer too, and a more successful and popular one than me. She'll definitely be invited to the photoshoot! What a blunder... I almost got caught last time when everyone came to my house for hot pot." Rimi panicked, clutching her head as she racked her brains for a solution: "What should I do now? Try to cover my face? No, I'd better sneak away!"

Just then, Ai greeted Gina and Kanon, then looked at Rimi and asked, "Who are your friends cosplaying as?"

"Ahhh!" Rimi panicked completely. She had planned to slip away, but suddenly she put on a hood and covered her face: "I'm just a wrestler passing by! Don't mind me!"

"Does she have to go to such lengths..." Kanon sighed again. Rimi-sensei is so easy to bully. When she wore the wig, the antenna on her head punctured the wig.

As expected, this wouldn't fool them, and in the end, Rimi took off the wig.

"Ah, what is this..." Ai leaned closer to take a look, and Rimi's heart nearly jumped out of her chest in shock: "AWSL..."

"I knew it!" Ai clapped her hands, then grasped Rimi's hand: "You must be Yuri Ariko-san~ I've wanted to do a photoshoot with you for so long~"

"Eeeeeee—I am so honored!" Rimi's hair stood on end: "God, thank you for giving the human world a wig and for making Ai a face-blind person."

Although Ai didn't seem to recognize Rimi's true form, the risk of being closely observed by acquaintances was still too high. Rimi frequently glanced at her two companions, especially Kanon, who was considered "normal and reliable": "Kanon, say something!"

"Ah...ah! By the way, Ai, has your figure improved? Your waist has become even slimmer lately." In her haste, Kanon didn't have much of a way to help, so she could only follow her "straight man's" first point of focus...cough cough.

But this trick actually worked. The same words would be harassment if said by a man, but a compliment if said by a girl. Ai was successfully distracted by Kanon: "Hehe, you caught me! I've been following Coach Machio's instructions lately, practicing the side-lying hip lift pose diligently~ I even have abs now! Feel them~"

"No, no need." As Ai grabbed her hand and guided it to her waist, Hanon's face flushed red. Oh my god, this is too exciting!

"Oh, what's the big deal? We all work out at the gym together, sweat together, and shower together. We're so close." Ai didn't force Kanon to touch her abs. She... uh, instead, stared at Kanon's waist: "Speaking of which, Kanon, your waist is the best-looking one! Not to mention abs, your abdominal muscles are very defined, and your skin is so good. It's really tempting."

As she spoke, Ai reached out and pinched Hana's waist.

"Huh? Kanon, why are you having a nosebleed?"

After a flurry of activity as everyone tried to treat Kanon's nosebleed, they successfully saved Rimi, allowing the rather unassuming but beautiful cosplayer to breathe a sigh of relief: "Safe~ Thank you Kanon, you really are the most reliable person!"

The subsequent photoshoot went smoothly. The magazine had specific composition and positioning requirements, as well as individual shoots for each cosplayer. Rimi and Ai barely bumped into each other. Meanwhile, Kanon and Gina strolled and took photos by the pool. They were both stunning beauties, so photographers naturally came over to take pictures. The afternoon flew by.

"Phew, I'm so tired, but I've had a very rewarding day!" After the event, Ai Yi waved goodbye to everyone.

Hanon, Gina, and Rimi also sincerely praised Ai: "Ai is indeed very busy. You're ranked high in the top 50 cosplayers of the year. Hard work really pays off, and your future is bright!"

"Oh, not at all, let's cosplay together again next time~ I'm off now, Kanon, Gina, Rimi-sensei, see you at the gym in a couple of days."

"Okay...wait, what did you call me?"

"Satomi-sensei~ Satomi-sensei, what's wrong?"

Having discovered that her secret had been kept hidden since their first meeting, Rimi drifted away in the sunset with a gentle breeze.

Author's Note: This is just a regular daily chapter. We should be able to move on to the Musashi-do content tonight.

Section 787, Chapter 778: The Unexpected... Hikaru no Go?

That day, after Ai revealed her identity, a bewildered Rimi said a lot of harsh words, begging Ai not to reveal her secret identity. Some of the words were inappropriate for children, making Kanon and Gina blush and their hearts race. Ai, who had originally intended to tease Rimi, was even more shocked: "W-does it have to be so lewd? Rimi-sensei, how afraid are you of your identity being exposed!"

But Ai naturally agreed to Rimi's request, Safe~

This is just a small interlude in Kanon's leisurely daily life. Life goes on, and she's happy every day. The fitness girls at Mr. Shirogane's gym are Kanon's source of joy. They are all beauties, and it's super pleasing to the eye when they work out. They also have lovely voices. Kanon is so cute!

However, Hanon has experienced a lot in the past two years, making friends all over the world. If she wanted, she could fill all her spare time with activities, and she didn't necessarily have to go to the gym.

For example, on this particular day, Kanon didn't rush home after school but instead went to the American football club at Deimon High School. It was the transition between spring and summer, and the Christmas Bowl was still a long way off. Moreover, Deimon's core players, Hiruma, Musashi, and Kurita, had all retired to prepare for graduation, and "Eyeshield Mask 21" Sena Kobayakawa had gone to the United States for training. Only a handful of old friends remained on the team, including the "Haha Trio," Daikichi Kosumi, and Taro Raimon.

I heard there's a really strong new forward who shone in the Junior American Football World Cup as a middle schooler, and is the new core of Desmond's team after the older generation retired... Well, that's a long way off for Kanon now. Even though she's arguably the greatest player in Desmond's history, making her wear the "Eyeshield Mask 23" uniform and compete against high schoolers would be pure bullying! Okay, actually, she did bully others a lot during her time on the team...

The storage room was still messy after school, piled with all sorts of random things. Seeing that no one was around, Hanon, with a feeling of nostalgia for the place where she fought, silently started tidying up the things there.

"Sigh, come to think of it, I've never had a farewell ceremony, so theoretically I'm still a member of the team." Kanon grabbed various jerseys, caps, and American footballs, putting them back in their places neatly. "Anezaki-senpai is graduating soon, so she'll probably step down as team manager. The new manager will most likely be that little girl Suzune. She's a bit of a tomboy, so it's not surprising that she's made such a mess... Heh, everyone has their own style. Anyway, Kurita-senpai isn't here anymore, so nobody's going to hide in a vaulting box..."

Before the words were finished, a voice came from inside the vaulting box: "Miss Kanon... Miss Kanon..."

"Huh? There really is someone?" Hanon was taken aback. How come hiding in the vaulting box is also a tradition of the Deimon? She hurriedly went over to check, but when she lifted the vaulting box, there was nothing there.

"What's going on?" The bizarre scene made Hanon's heart pound, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke.

The world is not as simple as it initially seemed. After encountering ghosts, superpowers, and cavemen, Kanon has learned to maintain a sense of awe towards the world.

"I'm here, Ms. Kanon."

"Huh? Where?"

"Above, above."

Hanon turned her head and looked up. She saw that a large face was "stuck" to the bottom of the flip-up box, looking ferocious and eerie in the dim light.

"Whoaaaaah—BOOM!"

A few seconds later, Hanon pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead: "...It's Toyota! Don't suddenly appear, okay? I'll beat you up if you do!"

The ghost of Mr. Silver's gym, Tadakatsu Toyota, made a few "uh-uh" sounds, frantically shoving his hands at his face until he finally managed to recreate his sunken features: "Miss Kanon, you've already hit me..."

"Who told you to suddenly run out and scare people? This isn't a horror novel." After catching her breath and calming herself down, Hana asked again, "Why aren't you staying at the gym? What are you doing all this way to Deimon?"

"Oh, yes, yes, I came here specifically to see Miss Hanon. I hope you will show your kindness and help me fulfill my last wish." Toyota Tadakatsu clasped his hands together and pleaded with Hanon.

"Your last wish..." Hanon scratched her head, "It wasn't something like killing your enemies, finding your lover, or taking care of your descendants, was it?"

Tadakatsu Toyota shook his head vigorously: "How could I dare to entrust such a ridiculous matter to you! Besides, my enemies are all dead, and I'm not very popular with girls. I found my family's descendants a long time ago, and they're running a big business and doing very well. I also have a black boxing organization called 'Purgatory,' surrounded by a group of powerful fighters, so my safety is not a problem... What I hope is that Miss Kanon will help me participate in a shogi tournament."

"Shogi... a competition? This is even worse than those!" Hanon was speechless. As expected of Mr. Shirogane's permanent ghost at the gym, he even had the attribute of needing her to make sarcastic remarks: "What the hell is it that you're making a shogi competition sound like you're begging me to kill someone? Can't you usually pretend to be a normal person at the gym? You can go by yourself this time!"

"This really won't work..." Toyota Tadakatsu looked troubled and explained that as a purified ghost, he was quite free and could go anywhere. He could also occasionally appear as a normal person. However, he was still a spirit of the dead. The shogi tournament was held next to a shrine, which had a strong suppressive effect on Toyota Tadakatsu. When he got there, he could no longer solidify into a physical form.

"That's how it is. Shogi is my lifelong hobby. Seeing a high-level competition being held makes me really itchy to play. Unfortunately, I've encountered such a special situation. I would like to ask Miss Hanon to let me possess your body for a moment. After the competition, I will return the body to you."

"This..." Hanon didn't like the feeling of being "exorcised," especially the complete surrender of control of her body to a man's ghost. She was quite resistant to it psychologically.

Tadakatsu Toyota was a good person, and seeing Hanon's hesitation, he didn't press the matter further: "So it really won't work... Waaah, I was being presumptuous, waaah..."

"Hey, wait a minute." Seeing Toyota heading towards the door with a black line on his face, bent over and looking miserable, Hana couldn't help but call out to him, "Um, I'll help you."

"That's great!" Toyota Tadakatsu was overjoyed, his mood instantly brightening. He floated over and circled around Kanon: "The shogi tournament is in three days. I heard it has gathered amateur masters from all over Japan. I'm going to start practicing now, and I'm sure I won't lose to them!"

"Don't be so happy yet." Hana waved her hand. "I didn't say I wanted you to possess someone."

"That is……"

Have you heard of the manga "Hikaru no Go"?

Author's note: I'm not feeling well tonight. There will be a third update later, and the fourth update will depend on how things go. It looks like I might not be able to see Musashi today.

Chapter 779, Section 788: The King of Flower Sound

The Go Institute in Shuko Town is quite large, and in this new world, it is a well-known holy place for Go in Tokyo. In particular, it is the Go-doing mecca that is popular in Japan, and it has gathered masters from all over the world... well, saying all over the world is actually mostly Japanese people. There aren't many people who play this game outside of Japan.

For example, Kanon doesn't understand the rules of shogi at all. She had watched a few games between Takakaze Kirito and Ito's old butler, but she didn't have the patience to watch until the end. If it weren't for Toyota Tadakatsu, this "cheat ghost," she wouldn't have the confidence to step into the shogi academy.

Of course, with Tadakatsu Toyoda around, Kanon is quite imposing.

Is this the highest mountain in the world? Hanon was originally a top martial arts expert. After long-term training, she naturally developed the demeanor of a master. When she was confident, she would put on a calm and composed appearance and walk into the arena naturally. No one doubted that she was the light of the right path and the future of Japanese shogi.

With such astonishing power, Kanon's opponent was even intimidated before the fight even began: "Hmm, this girl looks incredibly strong. I probably can't beat her." Sure enough, after only a few exchanges, Kanon, or rather, the one who had been coached by her, Toyota Tadakatsu, was about to die.

"Oh ho ho ho, this feels great~" Toyota Tadakatsu transformed into a ghost that only Kanon could see, and excitedly spun around in the air.

"Hikaru no Go" was one of the few anime that Kanon knew in her previous life. After telling Toyota Tadakatsu about it, he imitated her and dressed up as Sai, completely entering cosplay mode, looking like he wouldn't give up until he achieved that "divine move." However, since he regarded shogi competitions as his life goal, Toyota Tadakatsu's shogi skills were indeed superb. Before coming to participate in the competition, Kanon and he had already practiced with him at Mr. Shirogane's gym.

Soryuin Akemi was a prodigy from a young age, excelling in both intellect and sports, including shogi, earning her the nickname "Sakura Masuda Kozo (a famous Japanese shogi player)". However, she was instantly defeated in a match against Kanon/Tadakatsu.

Teacher Rimi Tachibana is exceptionally talented. In her thirties, she recently learned the rules of a shogi app and made rapid progress, crushing the AI ​​in various ways. She is a true prodigy. And then... she was checkmated in four moves.

"Ms. Tachibana is indeed very talented~ She has reached this level as a beginner. Maybe she is a chosen one." Tadakatsu Toyota commented afterwards: "Unfortunately, I am still stronger. Hehehe, her challenging me is like a middleweight champion challenging a heavyweight champion. There is a fundamental difference."

"Even if you say that, I still won't understand." Kanon's reaction was indifferent. Although she hadn't been possessed by Toyota Tadakatsu, she didn't understand the rules and couldn't appreciate the beauty of shogi at all. For the past few days, she had been patiently acting as an emotionless game machine: "I've passed the preliminary rounds, hurry up and get things done, I want to go home..."

"No problem~ Hehehe." Toyota Tadakatsu had been winning all along, and relying on his superior chess skills, he had become completely arrogant: "The remaining eight quarterfinalists, I will definitely help Miss Ye defeat them all!"

As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there is a world of competition. The final eight all sound quite impressive. As Hanon entered the inner room for the final battle, she heard the host introducing the two opponents: "Now, please welcome the 'Queen of Hanon,' the young girl Ye Hanon!"

"How did he become a king? What a casual nickname..." Hanon complained as she walked into her seat.

"Miss Ye's opponent is Mr. Yamashita Kazuo, the 'Master of Stealing the Sky'!"

Huh? Which Yamashita no Kazuo?

Yes, it's that Yamashita Kazuo...

"Miss Ye..."

"Uncle Yamashita..."

"Long time no see." ×2

After exchanging greetings, neither of them spoke, yet both seemed to want to say something, creating an awkward atmosphere.

"Um, Mr. Yamashita, have you been managing the company well lately?" Following Toyota Tadakatsu's instructions, Kanon made her first move and started an awkward conversation with Yamashita Kazuo.

Yamashita Kazuo hurriedly replied, "It's alright, it's alright, thanks to Miss Ye, everything is fine."

"It's been a long time since I've been back to the Kwondo Association. I heard there have been a lot of changes recently?"

"Ah, yes, Chairman Nogi has made many adjustments since taking power. Now my Yamashita Trading Company has become a fighter intermediary agency, and the overall protection of fighters has been strengthened."

"...Mr. Yamashita." Hanon's expression suddenly turned serious, startling Yamashita Kazuo's heart, "Yes! What is it?"

"It's your turn to make a move."

“…Oh…Eh?” Yamashita Kazuo made two more moves, but then felt the situation was bleak and was quickly checkmated by Kanon.
