Chapter 31 · A vase placed between the gaps in the tatami mats
At half past eight in the evening, I arrived at the place where I was playing chess.
This is a high-grade chess hall located in the central area of Chiyoda Ward, and many white-collar workers who have left work around will choose to play a game here.
When registering at the front desk, Ke Zhiguang was unexpectedly identified, and his poster was still hanging on the wall, which was enough to prove his recent popularity.
This time, the fee was simply waived, and Mori Kogoro was often treated so favorably.
Entering the box of the chess hall, the elegance of the Japanese style is spontaneously born.
To be honest, Ke Zhiguang didn't expect Xingcai to agree so readily.
After all, this is the other party's precious after-work time, which should be used to catch up on dramas and symbolically stretch their limbs along with the calisthenics on TV.
"Today I suddenly want to do something that I wouldn't normally do." - That's why she accepted the game.
Starlight sat down in front of the chessboard, and the waiter walked through the door with a fruit plate and dessert, and after saying goodnight, she withdrew.
They also left a small vase with a red rose in its place, which was placed impartially between the tatami mats.
Before leaving, the waiter explained: "There is bedding in the closet, and I may be able to help the two of you at a critical moment." ”
Not......
I always feel that her tone of voice is like that of an old aunt in a hot spring shop.
Xingcai replied calmly, "Thank you, we can't use this." ”
"Well, I'm sorry." The waiter left respectfully.
So, does this small bottle with a single flower have any meaning?
"Okay, let's have something to eat first, if the emotions are not brewed before the game, the chess will not look good, right?" Xingcai picked up a piece of matcha Daifuku and sent it to his mouth.
Anyway, it's like a puff, and it has the delicate and delicate beauty of Japanese desserts, and in addition to paying attention to the taste, it also explains the exquisite shape like a work of art.
Maybe it's quite expensive.
Ke Zhiguang also sat down and asked while eating, "How have you been doing lately?" ”
"I work normally, occasionally participate in the winter vacation party of my classmates, and show my face in the chess yard once."
"Is it tiring to work?"
"Not really, I'm just watching as an intern right now, and all the things add up to the fatigue of ordinary peers."
"Ordinary peers don't have multiple identities like you, and they move around from place to place....... Except, of course, me. Ke Zhiguang cautiously added at the end of the sentence.
"Well, my fatigue level is the level of an ordinary professional chess player, so when you say that, don't you feel very practical?"
After being so little, Ke Zhiguang was a little surprised.
Compared to ordinary students, she will indeed seem very busy, but the participants have been replaced by ordinary professional chess players, such as Yamaoka's diligent and down-to-earth new chess players, and Xingcai is indeed at a normal level.
"Tokyo is very prosperous, and if it is not strong enough, it will be swallowed by it." Xingcai sighed and said, and glanced out the window by the way, the beautiful street scene like bubbles.
Her eyes darkened.
The confusion and confusion peculiar to young people.
Although in this era, young people are all positive, but in the dark night when no one is around, the balcony after the carnival and indulgence will inevitably reveal an unreal sense of materialism.
"It's good to think of yourself as an idol for active female high school students, and you just need to overcome difficulties with vitality and love." Ke Zhiguang said.
"An active female high school student idol? In terms of creating vocabulary, you really have your own set of ideas. The corners of Xingcai's mouth twitched.
"Rest assured, after another twenty or thirty years in the industry, there will be idols for active female high school students everywhere, switching back and forth between school and the workplace where they work, and ...... with you It's about the same as ours, but it's certainly not as good as you. ”
"Okay, let's wait and see that day.
Xingcai smiled softly, her back straightened, and the little fork she had been eating was lowered.
The state of battle is entering with a trace.
"It's okay, the emotions are almost brewing, and the game can start at any time." Starlight opened her eyes, and an armed glow flowed from her iris.
"Very good, this is the state." Ko Zhiguang was also sitting down.
Although sitting upright will limit his state, in the face of ordinary female chess players, it is enough to have a hand.
"By the way, with the current chess gap between you and me, if you don't let me have two sons, it's a bit unreasonable, right?" Xingcai dragged her jaw and said, a touch of black belly came out.
"This ...... Is it okay to just let it go first? Ke Zhiguang tried to bargain.
No matter what, Xingcai is also a professional chess player who has entered the stage, and at this level, there is already a huge gap between the two sons.
"I'm sure I'm determined to defeat you to play chess, of course, I need a little condition bonus, and it doesn't work to make me lie on the ground and be slaughtered." Xingcai will end with a subdued voice, and the black smile is covered in the palm of her hand.
This..... There was always a feeling that everything was in her hands.
Maybe she decided from the beginning that she wanted to be let have two sons, otherwise she would just throw the spade.
"Then come, let the two sons...... Can you do rapid chess? Ke Zhiguang asked smartly.
Xingcai's eyes were a mime: "Senior? ”
"Okay, it's normal, come on!"
Ke Zhiguang was in his heart, and he freely changed the black chess.
Anyway, it's just a casual game after work, and the emphasis is on life and death, and if you don't accept it, you will do it.
And maybe there is indeed a huge power gap between Xingcai and him.
"Then thank you seniors." Constellation let out a slight playful laugh and placed the two black pieces in the position of the diagonal star.
Let's play!
The first piece falls, the dark curtain of the game moment descends from the left and right, and the crisp beep comes from the ears.
【Queen Bee】
It's been almost half a year since I last saw this symbolic spirit.
Speaking of which, although he and the other party faced each other in the campus team battle, due to the grouping problem, he did not really meet her on the field.
The only time the game was played was when Ke Zhiguang rushed directly into the hotel of their school team, forcibly applied for the game, and took out one of her cats.
Then Ke Zhiguang never saw this cat again, probably because he had been played with by himself to the point of evil, alas, sin, sin......
Although the name of [Queen Bee] has the word king in it, its visual expression is not outstanding, and she is a little lord at most.
Now, after half a year, confronting it again, the body of [Queen Bee] has also undergone some changes.
More gorgeous lines, sharper and sharper needles, as if ushered in a round of evolution.
According to Ke Zhiguang's recent observations, as the chess player's chess ability improves, the symbolic spirit corresponding to them will indeed change.
In the simplest example, several of the chains used to bind the dragon on the pillar behind the Harishima deer have been broken.
The pieces fell one by one, and although it was not a negotiated game, both sides sped up their moves, and by the time no one wanted to return home, it was already the clock.
Click.
Click.
Click.
The pieces start to multiply on the board, get closer, and then twist together!
In one key area, Inoue lowered his head, pondered tightly for a moment, unconsciously clenched his teeth, and showed a look that would only be revealed when playing chess.
She brazenly pulled out a chess piece and took the initiative to attack, viciously slamming into the edge of the Kozhiguang, splashing a sound like breaking glass.
This..... It's not a good move.
After giving a bad comment in his heart, Ke Zhiguang was about to fight back, but suddenly frowned as if he had been stung.
Thorny emotions spread from the opposite side of the chessboard.
The skill of [Chess Synaesthesia] has been triggered.
