Chapter 5: The Card Reader of Goryuta

Su Qi found a witch to exorcise an evil spirit.

The face is even worse.

From feeling as if you see hope, to having your hopes dashed, there's nothing more devastating.

When I think about it, I have to go home at night.

The ghosts at home......

Su Qidu felt a headache.

I want to move, but I don't have the money.

Living in an Internet café is not a long-term solution, he is a student, and he has no money to live every day.

I'm going home.

……

After the last Chinese class, after school.

Outside the classroom.

Imamura, who was in the next class, was waiting for Su Qi at the door.

"Why are you running to the door of the class to block me."

"I heard that you were dumped yesterday, and I'm afraid that you will be hit too hard, and today you will skip the activities of the song card department."

The two are in the same community.

Competitive Song Club.

"Am I that vulnerable?"

"Aren't you a little self-conscious?"

“……”

Su Qi was speechless.

"What's important in the song card department today?"

"A senior who was admitted to Keio last year, who was originally from the song card department, came back to visit the coach."

"Does it have anything to do with us?"

"The coach specifically told me to bring you over."

……

The activity room of the Song Card Club.

A separate tea room at the back of the school building.

Antique style, open layout, far-reaching eaves, tatami mats on the floor, and a panoramic view of the deep courtyard outside the tea room.

This tea room is dedicated to the Song Club.

Eternal celebrity Mr. Miangu donated to establish.

Mr. Miangu also graduated from the University of Arts and Kyoto University in his early years, and became a celebrity in the song card competition, and later became a celebrity forever.

A well-known benchmark figure in the world of Karayu.

However, just when everyone thought that Mr. Miangu would continue to dominate, the news of his retirement suddenly came out.

After that, it is to donate to build this singing room, teach here, and teach students to sing cards.

Mr. Miangu loved song cards all his life, and even when he died, he passed away peacefully in this song card room.

……

Su Qi entered the song card room.

Club activities haven't started yet.

Several members of the department sat together chatting, holding poker-sized song cards in their hands.

"Su Qi, I heard that you were dumped yesterday?"

Omori is a person who speaks openly, has a bit of a rough nerve, and comes up with a mending knife.

His girlfriend couldn't stand it and patted him.

"Omori, don't say that, although Saya-chan refused, he said that Keijun is a good person......"

Su Qi rolled his eyes, made two mending knives, and said in his heart that the two of you are not far behind.

"Where's the coach?"

"Talk to the senior in the inner room."

"Keio's seniors, what about high-achieving students......"

Su Qi took out the song cards in the box and spread them out on the tatami mats, and the song cards were the waka songs of "One Hundred People".

Song cards.

Also known as: Goryudo.

This is a traditional card game in Japan.

It originated as a court game, and was later unified in the Meiji period as a competitive sport.

The song cards are designed into a complete set of cards based on the 100 waka songs in "One Hundred People".

100 sheets of the full waka reading notebook and 100 sheets of the collection of half of the waka.

The gameplay is simple.

Similar to the domestic poetry solitaire.

The card reader reads the first half of the song.

2 competitors snatch the bottom half of the card according to their top half.

……

As the members spoke, the door to the inner chamber opened.

Coaches and seniors come out.

The old members of the grade are seniors.

The coach mainly introduced several new team members:

"This is Kanda, a graduate of the previous class, and now an A-level player, who is preparing to participate in the celebrity battle in January next year."

Kanda greeted the juniors with a smile.

The coach saw Su Qizai and said to Kanda:

"This is what I told you earlier, the song card department has joined a very powerful newcomer this year, Su Qi."

"I just started playing early."

Su Qi was called over by the coach to say hello.

"He started playing song cards when he was in junior high school, don't look at it as just a B grade, the level is not necessarily worse than yours."

The coach said with a smile.

"What's the matter, they are all three-year experiencers, do you want to point out to the juniors."

"Coach, do you want to see me being instructed by juniors?"

Kanda punctured the coach's intentions.

"It's all the same, it's all the same."

The coach laughed, grabbed Su Qi next to him, and muttered in a low voice.

"You win him for me, this stinky boy left to play music cards with me when he graduated, and tortured me with blood, without mercy at all."

You're still holding a grudge......

Su Qi was speechless, you compare yourself with him.

However, the coach is indeed old, although he understands skills and has experience, but his reaction speed cannot keep up with the young people.

……

"Senior, please."

Su Qi doesn't care, club activities, it's the same with anyone.

He now mentions that he has a headache when he comes home.

Spend time with people in the club, play music cards to kill time, and distract yourself.

It's good, it's better than going home to those ghosts.

……

Su Qi and Senior Kanda sat facing each other, and 50 song cards were laid out in front of them in their own formations and enemy formations.

Both sides began to memorize the array configuration.

15 minutes later.

There was no tape recorder or tape, and the coach was very interested in going into battle and reading the cards to them.

"It is difficult for flowers to bloom, and the cold winter is shy and shameful, and now the spring is full of the ground, and the flowers are fragrant."

Warm-up prelude and read it twice in a row.

Su Qi and Senior Kanda's hands were on the tatami mats, and their nerves and body reactions were tense at any time.

"The world is pitiful ......"

Su Qi and Kanda moved almost at the same time.

[The world is pitiful, and the world is hateful.

There is so much sorrow in the world, and my heart is full of sorrow. 】

The two are both competitive singers with a very high level, and their reactions are comparable when they meet their opponents.

However, in the end, Su Qi was a little faster.

"Smack!"

Tatami mats make a crisp sound.

took the first step to shoot the song card of "How sad the world is, my heart is full of sorrow".

Take a point.

It's amazing......

Many members of the department who watched the battle couldn't help but marvel in their hearts.

……

In terms of gameplay, it is not difficult to get started.

But proficient and beginner are two levels again.

It's not just about memory, but also about listening, reaction speed, physical strength, hand speed, formation layout, various on-the-spot skills, and so on.

Skillfully memorizing 100 waka songs is just the basics of the basics.

I want to advance to mastery.

Formation skills, one-word to six-word decision, guessing the cards, setting up the formation bias to attack or defend, card grabbing strategy, speculating on the opponent's good cards......

There is also reaction speed, hand speed, anti-interference ability, card grabbing......

There's so much doorway out there.

A proficient song card boss can completely hang beginners up and play.

……

Although Su Qi is B-level, it is only because he has no time to participate in the selection competition to upgrade.

In fact, his level is far more than that, after all, he has played song cards for many years, no less than Kanda seniors.

The two of you come and go, not for a while.

Su Kai 18-23 Kanda.

This score is the number of cards left in your own array.

At first, it was 25-25, a total of 50 sheets.

The team that zeros in first wins.

The difference between the scores of the two sides is not big, but it can also be seen that there is a gap.

Kanda can see that his junior brother is really powerful, no wonder the coach has been showing off to him.

"Go to ......"

[After going to the good period, Acacia has become more worried.

Zeng said that he missed the bitterness and believed that there was no reason. 】

Su Qi made a move, but Kanda hadn't moved yet, as if he hadn't reacted.

However......

"Wet sleeves can be remembered......"

The sound of a second card reading sounded......

Su Qi's heart was shocked!

Listening to the lyrics in his ears, like a terrifying bone scraper, repeatedly cutting his tense nerves, making people tremble with fear.

It was as if the murmur of ghosts and gods sounded in his ears again.

"Can he hear me?"

"He can't hear it."

"Can he hear me?"

"He can't hear it."

Su Qisheng stopped his action of playing cards.

[You can remember to wet your sleeves and swear with one heart.

The surging waves, how can you cross the pine mountain. 】

"Smack!"

Kanda flapped the card and scored a point.

But he looked at Su Qi suspiciously.

The other party seems to have made a mistake?

Before he read the cards just now, Su Qi moved.

Su Qi's forehead sweated slightly.

There's a ghost in this house.

There's a ghost reading cards!
