Chapter 47 · Seventeen couples

The deep night fell, and the moonlight peeked out of the sky.

The entire courtyard is shrouded in a cool silver light.

"Whew, it's finally over." The moment the camera turned off, Harushima deer softened and lay on the table.

"How's it going, the commentary is more tiring than expected, isn't it?" Reiko asked with a smile.

"The main thing is that it's boring, especially when I look at these people on the chessboard and chop each other, I always feel that .....I am not as good as me," Harushima said with a puffed cheek.

This is also the feeling of human nature, from a professional point of view, it is called a fan of the authorities, and from a more professional point of view, it is called a barrage of 10,000 points per person.

Of course, this is a secondary reason for boredom, and the main reason is ..... How come this man doesn't have a place to spray at all!

Originally, Harushima Deer learned that he was going to explain Ke Zhiguang's game today, and he happily prepared a small note of spraying lines overnight, planning to spray when Ke Zhiguang made an obvious mistake.

As a result, she really couldn't see any obvious mistakes on Ke Zhiguang for a while, but it was the suspicion that Bamboo Dao Forging and Xuan Yuzhi were feeding each other rice and spooning.

"Then I'm looking forward to seeing Princess Harushima sitting on one side of the chessboard and Ko on the other side of the board the next time I explain the finals..... Ahem, see you tomorrow. ”

"Well, we'll see you tomorrow." Harushima said that he always felt that the other party's "cough cough" seemed to be covering up something.

On the other side, Ke Zhiguang also walked out of the game room.

At the end of the day, there were ten games of chess from morning to night, and the moment I got up from the chessboard, I felt a sense of exhaustion coming out of a hundred-fold gravity room.

The final score was 5 points for Ke Zhiguang, 3 points for Bamboo Knife Forging, and 2 points for Xuan Yu Zhishang.

When the first place is three points ahead of the second place, the final round robin will be decided, and at today's efficiency, it is expected that he will be able to sit in the banquet hall with the trophy in his hand before dinner tomorrow.

Ke Zhiguang glanced at today's moonlight and confirmed that it was another quiet night with calm waves.

Before eating, I went back to my room to inspect the chessboard, but I didn't get anything, and it seems that the bamboo knife forging is also classified as a full stop, and you need to use Fan Qi to burst things.

It seems that the moment the battle of famous generals ends, it will be a bumper harvest.

Walking through the corridors of the mansion, greeting the members of the working group, we arrived at the designated dining room.

According to the rules, players who participate in the final round robin will be able to specify lunch and dinner meals, as well as desserts after the meal.

At noon, when the game is closed, the staff will serve the set meal designated by the players, and continue to hammer in the afternoon after eating.

At noon, Xuanyu Zhishang designated soba noodles, saying that this was his lucky meal, according to his interview, when he won the championship for the first time in his life, he ate soba noodles at noon, but it became his tradition to eat buckwheat in every big battle.

As a result, when he faced off in the afternoon, Ke Zhiguang didn't find any buff bonuses on the black warrior.

Bamboo knife forging chose not to eat, saying that hunger can keep people's brains clear, which is really admirable, and the media praised it.

But later, when Ke Zhiguang happened to pass by a corner, he found that Bamboo Dao Forging was secretly chewing chocolate to replenish his strength, and after being discovered by Ke Zhiguang, he was so shocked that he quickly stuffed the whole chocolate into his mouth along with the packaging bag, and forcibly pretended that he really didn't eat anything.

Hawkers, human nature, understandable.

Ke Zhiguang decisively and openly chose the most expensive steak set, and a set of high-sweetness fruit plate cakes also came for afternoon tea, but the other two didn't order it.

Not..... Why do you always feel that you are suspected of rubbing other people's rice in vain?

After coming to the dining room and receiving today's set meal, Ke Zhiguang found a nearby table and sat down.

It didn't take long for Harushima Deer to pass by with a half-sleepy mouth open and a plate lightly.

"Good evening, Harushima." Ke Zhiguang said.

"Don't talk about it, it's been so boring all day today." Harushima Deer naturally sat across from him, and the plate was served.

On top of the delicate and small amount of rice, there is a small flag full of cartoon style.

In addition to the rice, her entire set meal is also colorful and small, and on a small plate, there are two small biscuits in the shape of an elk.

This..... No matter how you look at it, it's a children's course, right?

Harushima Deer also seemed to notice that something was wrong, and quickly pulled out the flag and threw it into the trash can on the side.

"Ahem..... The cooking aunt here is really, she actually pranks on my rice and inserts a thing, first of all, okay, this is not a children's meal, I won't order the kind of food that only children eat. Harushima Deer spoke solemnly.

Well, since she deliberately emphasized it, it was the children's package, and she took the initiative to order it.

However, there is one thing to say, most of the children's packages are really delicious, and there is no need to worry about the large amount of waste, which is very suitable for girls.

The two chatted about the game while eating slowly, and after the intense rapid-chess battle, there was a sudden slowdown in the break.

"That, congratulations, you've basically announced that you've already won the title of Famous General." Harushima said suddenly, and then put a piece of cauliflower into his mouth, chewed it vigorously, and pretended not to care.

Unexpectedly, she will take the initiative to celebrate.

In order to prevent a large piece of milk from popping up on the chessboard during tomorrow's game, Ke Zhiguang responded seriously: "I can't be so sure, the two of them are still very strong, if they adjust their state tonight, we will still run together tomorrow." ”

In terms of the actual feeling of today's game intensity, Brother Forging Zi's strength is indeed good, the only pity is Xuanyu Zhishang, his strength seems to be sealed, and today's performance can be described as a low point in life.

But it is also understandable that people are confused after eating two knives in the morning, and at the end of the day.

From Ke Zhiguang's point of view, the black warrior really has two knives stuck in his back, indicating that it is a blade of heart

The effect is a decrease in competitive form, which lasts for a week.

Of course, being stabbed in the morning caused his mentality to explode, and his state was opened, which strictly meant that he didn't recover himself, and it can't be said that he used his underworld skills to rectify him.

After listening to Ke Zhiguang's words, Harushima Deer was suddenly startled, and his chopsticks shook: "What? You..... Are you humbling yourself? ”

"Well, it's just a flag to prevent milk."

"Cut, sure enough, I know, how can you be so humble and polite." Harushima deer snorted, then chewed on the elk biscuit, a crunchy sound coming from between her teeth.

Not..... Considering that her name is actually just a deer character, biting such an elk cookie always feels weird.

I thought that such a casual and relaxed post-war time would last a little longer.

The moonlight outside the window suddenly flickered and became much dimmer.

The sound of the car's engine came from the alley outside the courtyard and finally stopped at the door.

Looking out the window, I found that most of the team members were already waiting at the gate of the courtyard, as if to welcome the arrival of distinguished guests.

The doors opened, and out of the car were a couple of people, who were the honored guests.

"Who's over there?" Ke Zhiguang asked Xiang Qingdao Lu, it was very dark, and he couldn't see the other party very clearly.

But I can feel the breath of disharmony from these two people from afar.

Harushima raised her head and looked that way.

"That's ...... Mr. and Mrs. Inoue. Harushima's face became complicated.

"Mr. and Mrs. Inoue? Is it Starlight's parents? ”

"Well, Inoue Shomen 9th Duan, Inoue Marihui 8th Duan, the two of them are known as the 17th Duan couple, they are the chief referee and host of this famous battle, I didn't expect to come so late." Harushima Deer said.

Seventeen couples, Ke Zhiguang has been in the industry for so long, of course he knows about the existence of this couple, but this is the first time he has seen him.

After Mr. and Mrs. Inoue got out of the car, surrounded by the crowd, they slowly walked into the house and came to the range of the lights.

Inoue Shomen wears a gray-green suit, and his face looks serious, but not old-fashioned.

As a wife, Mari Megumi wears a kimono with a crane printed on it, combs her hair in a classical style, and shows a fair back of her neck and forehead, with the same calm eyes as her husband.

It seems that she is also a martial arts wife, and her eight-stage title is most likely based on her own strength, not just her husband's name.

The momentum of the two is superimposed, which is indeed extraordinary, and they deserve the title of the strongest couple in the chess world.

And the points on the two of them are even more astonishing.

It turned out to be 0.

In the past, the minimum score was 1, but I didn't expect these two to directly break through this lower limit.

It seems that it is possible to have negative numbers in the future.

Soon, the two of them walked into the house, and their figures disappeared into the place where Ke Zhiguang couldn't see.

The moonlight began to calm and the reflection on the pond became clear.

"Inoue's relationship with her parents shouldn't be very good?" Ke Zhiguang suddenly asked.

That's how Inoue felt to him.

"It's really not very good, otherwise, she wouldn't think about coming to Tokyo alone, if she is at home, but she lives the life of an eldest lady who is served, and she is also a star in the school." Harushima Shika's eyebrows lowered, "I always feel that she is weird and stubborn, as if she is fighting against something......"

Ke Zhiguang was a little surprised, it turned out that Harushima Deer also felt this.

An eldest lady gave up the comfortable life of being taken care of, and came to Qingdao Deer to be a roommate and a junior self-reliant, and sometimes she had to take care of Qingdao Deer, maybe she was also responsible for a series of shoveling activities for the border herd, which sounded simply inspirational.

And she lived in Harushima Deer's house, not the relationship between her parents, but the relationship between her sister.

"Like, a rebellious girl..... Ke Zhiguang remembered the emotions he felt through Luozi when he played against her that day.

Reminiscing and reminiscing

Ke Zhiguang snorted and laughed.

Because when I recall that day, I will think of the image of the underworld girl made up in my brain, showing most of her shoulders, like the kind of casino proprietor, which makes people want to laugh until their stomachs hurt.

"I—I'm rebellious too! Didn't you see it yesterday, but I've been waiting for an opportunity to overthrow my mother's tyranny! Harushima suddenly retorted excitedly.

This..... It seems that rebellion is not a good word, right?

Why did she react like Xingcai was praised, but she wasn't praised, so she was very unhappy.

"Okay, good, you're rebellious, you're rebellious."

However, judging from the tragic picture of her being slapped on the thigh by Mrs. Harushima yesterday, there are two ways for her to overthrow her mother's tyranny.

The first is a more realistic approach, where the Martians descend and help her overthrow the tyranny of Lady Harushima.

The other is the sci-fi approach, where she pushes Mrs. Harushima through her own power.

After dinner, a hiccup was played, and Ke Zhiguang suddenly thought of the card that had burst out of Xingcai's body earlier

"They're watching her."

Sure enough, this is what they refer to the Inoue couple.

The meaning is the degree of control they exert over Constellation, and Constellation's coming to Tokyo alone is a rebellious response to that control.

Of course, she was able to come to Tokyo with the consent of her parents, but if you think about it, it is just an ordinary family conflict, which is common when children are about 16 years old.

Can something that can be deliberately emphasized by quantum mechanics really be ordinary?

The answer is as unpredictable as the night in the courtyard.

After dinner, Ko Zhiguang returned to the room, tomorrow is still an early morning game, and there is no dog maid..... Phew, without the care of the cozy cottage, you can't just play too late.

But as he passed through the courtyard corridor, he suddenly noticed that in addition to the car that the Inoue couple had just driven by, there was also a fancy pink convertible sports car parked at the door.

This...... Don't think about it, this is Nishichiaki's car, and in the chess world, there shouldn't be anyone else who will drive such a flamboyant thing except him.

The moonlight began to fade again, and the evening breeze began to cool down.

It seems that tonight, some force has quietly changed the pattern in secret.

......

......

In the middle of the night, the entire mansion fell into a deep sleep, and even the lights in the room where the bamboo knife was forged were turned off.

The only thing that didn't turn off the lights was the living room where Xuan Yu Zhishang was, and it seemed that he wasn't going to sleep tonight.

Nishichiaki walked out of the mansion, and before leaving the mansion, he glanced back at the bright living room, and vaguely saw a figure sitting in front of the chessboard, anxiously placing chess pieces.

"It's really hard work, but the direction is wrong, no matter how hard you work, it won't work." Nishichiaki sighed helplessly, and then walked out of the gate of the courtyard.

He sat in his car, shook the top up, and called out to Koshikawa Ryuji.

"Hey, is it my dear Akira?" In addition to the sound of Koshikawa Ryuji, there is also the sound of wine glasses shaking ice cubes.

"I have successfully done the matter of the clock, I directly dropped it from the original clock, and did it quietly by myself without the consent of Xuanyu Zhishang." Nishichiaki said.

Maybe this is what Koshikawa Ryuji meant, and there are some things that "help" do not require the consent of the person being helped.

"In order to make it easier for him to recognize at a glance that it was the clock I gave him that day, I specially left a mark on it so that he could understand at a glance that we were helping him." Nishichimo rubbed the ring on his ring finger.

Although it was just a normal red ring, it was easy to scrape the powder out by scraping it hard.

When he met with Xuan Yuzhi that day, he kept dangling the ring and left a deep impression on the other party.

By the time of tomorrow's match, Genyu will be surprised to find that there is a faint red mark on the same product that looks exactly like the clock used in today's game.

Then he will understand that he has been helped.

Xi Qianzhang said suspiciously and hesitantly: "I have a question, that clock, is it really useful?" ”
