Chapter Seventy-Four · The dragon and the Suzaku
Above the Pacific Ocean, the Ryugu broke open against the waves!
The chandelier in the dome swayed restlessly, babbling, and the ice in the wine glass rose and fell.
The hall, which was originally used for the ball, has now become a game room, with four boards in the four corners of the room, which do not interfere with each other, and even if one of the rounds is decided, the referee will not announce it loudly, so as not to disturb the other teammates.
It just so happens that the floor tiles are also black and white, just lining the color of Go, and they are eligible to join the Jiugongge family.
In the battle of the deputy general, Harushima Deer 9th Dan vs. Mugu Shengnaoka 9th Dan.
In the backbone battle, the bamboo knife forged seven sections against the nine sections of the sea cangweimen.
In the second striker battle, Inoue Hoshisai's second dan vs. Kitaniwa Kunosuke ninth dan battle.
In the vanguard battle, Inoue Xing's eighth dan vs. Xia Fuying's ninth dan battle.
Eight chess players, four chessboards, tightly biting the eyes of their opponents, quiet as time as an ice cellar, only the scale of the clock is moving.
"Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, it's time to compete for tickets to the finals." Naosaka said generously.
"Yes, as we all know, vacation time passes so quickly, and it's not as long as work time." Sitting on the other side of the commentary seat is Junki Oki Hachidan.
"In this way, it turns out that this Dragon Throne Battle is really a vacation battle." Naosaka laughed helplessly.
"There's no way, the deputy will have 6 points in one position, which is just equivalent to the vanguard + secondary striker + backbone, and it can only be held by a female streamer, I just doubt that there is any insider trading in this." Junki Oki said with a smile.
To use the joke of the latest issue of "Between Black and White" is-
[After the announcement of this year's Dragon Seat Tournament, the chess players were spraying the rules of the tournament while queuing up at the door of the door of the powerful female chess players, kneeling and begging for an alliance.
A chess player was annoyed and said angrily: "Damn Ke Zhiguang, I kidnapped so many powerful female chess players, I'm going to kill him!" ”
Then the man turned and walked away.
After a while, he came back, and someone next to him asked him, "Have you already killed you?" ”
He said, "What are you doing?" The queue there is longer than here. ”】
The level of a treasure of everyday civilization.
Although in this joke, it is obviously better to replace Ke Zhiguang with Night God Guojing, but no editor dares to write like this, and he doesn't dare to print it when he writes it, and he doesn't dare to sign it if he prints it, so he uses Ke Zhiguang instead.
Under this system, many powerful generals have not been able to go up to play a game, and they were forced to end the trip to the dragon seat because of the collapse of the previous few people, and they can only choose to travel in situ.
Jungui Oki formed a middle-aged group this time, and the average person dragged his family on the boat, and he planned to go on vacation with public funds early, and many people did the same.
"Maybe this rule was designed in Imperial Chess to allow these two teams to compete with each other for a ticket to the finals." Oki Jungui also seemed to understand, and laughed at himself.
The camera's lens hovers above the dome like a vulture, overlooking the battlefield.
The contents of each board are shown at a glance and then transmitted to local Japanese television, and the appearance of each player is also close-up.
The first to show the tricky meaning was the bamboo knife forging, which he gnawed tightly on the nail of his thumb and shook his head over and over again to deny the calculated change chart.
On the opposite side of him is his teacher, with a bamboo knife forging from the beginning to the fixed section.
The trail sea Kuraemon also witnessed the change in the apprentice's tricky expression and sighed.
"How many times have I told you, forging, you have to control your expression during the game, otherwise it will be easy for the opponent to perceive your thoughts!" He shouted in his heart
With the moment of falling, the whipping entered the consciousness of the bamboo knife forging.
The pupils of the bamboo knife forged fluctuated for a moment between expansion and contraction, and sweat overflowed from his forehead.
Compared to the previous rounds, the difficulty of this game has risen in a reverse cliff.
"It doesn't look like the seventh section of the bamboo knife is not very good, such a small space, it's not very good." Naosaka said.
"The teacher still understands the apprentice, and knows that the apprentice likes to mess up the situation from the beginning, so he simply starts directly with the strongest layout, and uses the appearance to deal with the chaotic battle."
"This group of old things can still maintain such an old and spicy state, and I don't know what supplements they have eaten."
Throughout the game hall, the balance began to slowly crumble downward.
On the other chess table, Xing Marry still maintained a sitting posture, and his hazy spiritual eyes were fixed on the chessboard.
But the gears had begun to loosen, and the odds of victory were flowing like an hourglass to Xia Fuying's side.
There is always a smile on the corner of the star's mouth, as if she usually plays chess at the shrine.
Xia Fuying admired him while stroking his beard, and he was also a nine-dan chess player who often visited Inoue Shrine and had many game records with Hoshi, knowing that this was the most normal appearance of the other party.
- In this case, the old man can't take it lightly.
Thinking so, Xia Fuying slowed down his moves, and each piece stayed between his fingers for a long time before landing.
In the room high up, the Ryuza team is also watching the live broadcast of the game.
"It looks like Ke Zhiguang's team is not very good, the bamboo knife forging will be able to cast this game soon, Sister Inoue looks like she can still hold down this game, but it always gives people a feeling of losing half a goal in the end, how about Sister Inoue's game?" Nishichiaki spoke from experience.
Shizuru Fuchigami replied: "It's just as worrying, her hard power is the weakest link in this team, there are five rounds of the game so far, and she has won two rounds, although this is a great record for a female player, but it is still too difficult to challenge the heyday of Jiudan...... But none of this is a big deal. ”
Xi Qianzhang continued: "The big question still depends on the princess and the empress, right?" ”
"That's right, even if the other three rounds are hanging, as long as you can keep this game." Shizuru Engami moved his gaze to the final game.
In the center of the game hall, an iron-clad black curtain shrouded down, and the aura of the two kept all noise out.
It seems to be the only place on the stage that shines brightly, carrying countless eyes.
On one side is the ancestral dragon totem jacket, and on the other side is the solemn Zhenzhi Suzaku.
The flurry of dragons and Suzaku is the theme of this game.
The breathing gradually becomes heavier, the heartbeat increases, and the weight of the chess pieces rises.
Harishima Ka leans forward more and more, her gaze twisted into a thin rope, and her fingers keep rubbing under the chessboard, a small movement that is perfectly captured by the camera.
"There it is! Harushima princess style hand rubbing! ”
"Actually, I've always wanted to say that this action looks like a ninjutsu seal......"
In Harushima Deer's perception, time seems to have gone back to the battle for the princess title a year ago.
There is such an opponent, even if he has defeated it, he will not want to face it a second time, and the old woman in front of him is one of them.
Because once you fail, you will suffer a big blow, and it is easy to degenerate into the weak self you were at the beginning.
But at the same time, this kind of opponent has to be faced again, because if you don't cross her again, you can't prove that you really have the ability to pass this hurdle.
She once briefly mentioned to Ke Zhiguang that her title of princess was questioned, on the grounds that the momentum of her nosebleed in the original game was too scary, and it affected the other party like an off-board move.
Of course, this reason is easy to refute, the empress, as a legendary figure who has experienced the tragic chess battle of the Showa era, cannot be frightened by the nosebleed of a mere little girl.
The second reason is...... At that time, when Mugu played the game, he did not take off the wedding ring.
It's like I already want to retire and be a family hostess, looking for a way to lose.
In other words, her desire to win at that time was very weak, and she was suspected of releasing water.
Although this question is very small, like an insignificant little stalk, Harushima Deer still cares a little.
And at this moment, the empress's wedding ring was put aside, indicating that she was doing her best at the moment.
- As long as she can win now, all doubts will disappear.
Harushima deer's neck choked slightly, and beads of sweat rolled down.
Immediately from the chess box, the momentum is quite rich, causing a shock to the chessboard, and then a slap on the clock, every overly forceful action makes the referee a little embarrassed.
"This ...... I always feel that if I follow this script, Princess Harushima may be ...... again."
"Quick, what about the electric fan, the electric fan is the body of Princess Qingdao!"
Mu Gu raised his head slightly, glanced at the other party, and his voice did not waver.
The moment the empress fell, a feather of a burning vermilion bird fell.
The balance that holds the balance begins to slide downwards in its entirety, into the whirlpool of the deep sea.
In a room outside the game hall, Kojiko and Saito are sitting on the same sofa, watching the game progress on the screen.
There is also a camera next to it to take a video, and the theme is "Master and Apprentice Daily Life".
It feels like an unscrupulous project made by some CP association.
"Hey, boy, have you ever drunk?" Just as he was looking at chess, Saito suddenly said this.
"There was an opportunity to drink vodka quietly, but I gave it to a friend." Ke Zhiguang picked up the fruit platter on the table with a toothpick, as if he was chatting with the elders about a ball game.
"Tell me, these three little girls, who are your friends." Saito said in one word.
"Ahem, this ...... Ah Forging is my friend. ”
"You would share good things with your male friends, do you think I'll believe that?" Saito said, twitching his cheeks.
"Actually, vodka is not a good thing, so I left it to him."
"Does that mean if there's good wine, let these little girls pour it down?" Saito also picked up a toothpick and pointed at Kojimitsu, as if to express "it's outrageous".
The camera crew on the side smiled awkwardly and said, "Can you two talk about the competition, and ..... Ke Zhiguang Hachidan is now 18 years old, and it seems that he is not yet the standard age for drinking......"
"This is the high seas." Saito said.
"The game is just around the corner." Ke Zhiguang said in the same natural tone.
"This ..... The two of them chatted slowly. "The camera crew doesn't have much to say.
In the end, the wine was brought up, but it was not a very low fruit wine, made with strawberry juice.
Saito didn't dislike this overly sound fruit wine, and poured a glass for himself and Kojimitsu, and the two of them drank it in front of the camera.
Quite a magical strawberry flavor that goes well with ice cubes.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've drunk with you." Saito said suddenly, swirling the goblet as if he were sipping Japanese sake.
"After all, it's the first time on the high seas..... Any questions? ”
"It's nothing, I thought that drinking some wine with you would give me a bit of a life touch, but it turned out that there was nothing." Saito shook his head.
The conversation between the two did not touch the chess game on the chessboard, and they maintained a strange tacit understanding.
The people in the camera crew are also very depressed, it stands to reason that it should be easy for two people with such personalities to get together, but the conversation between the two of them is so painless.
But...... Both of them were fully armed today, and despite the hot and humid weather, they both wore their professional suits, which had previously been flowered shirts and slippers.
And they all brought the folding fans with them.
"I, I have a question, the two of you are dressed so solemnly today, do you confirm that you have the opportunity to play today?" The employee asked.
Both Kojimitsu and Saito were stunned for a moment by the question, and then ignored them.
Smiled defiantly at each other.
"I don't know, but I think I have to dress so formally today, otherwise it might be a pity." Saito said.
"That's about it." Ke Zhiguang could only nod.
Saito said: "It would be great if my teammates swept their opponents straight through to advance, and my ultimate goal was just to win the championship, not to play a game with this kid." ”
"I'm the same, but it would be perfect if I could meet Saito-sensei on the way to the top."
"Exactly."
Faced with such a tacit answer, the staff could only smile bitterly: "That.... The other three rounds have almost been decided, so what are the thoughts of the two of them .......about the deputy general battle?"
"Of course Saint Naika will win."
"The game in Sunny Island, waking up is a victory."
Two scorching off-court determinations collided together!
On the battlefield, the balance pillars began to crumble one by one!
After taking a deep breath, Bamboo Dao Forging pressed the clock and bowed deeply to the teacher: "You are worthy of being a teacher, even now I can't reach you." ”
"Forging, you did a good job, leave it to me next, and we will stop the conspiracy of Koshikawa Ryuji." The gate nodded.
"What conspiracy?"
"This ...... No, it's just right to leave it to us. He immediately changed his tune.
A few minutes later, another round was over.
Xing Marry said politely: "It was you who won, Xia Fu Jiudan." ”
"The inner strength is as deep as ever, Your Excellency the Shrine Maiden."
There is also a third game.
"Let's do this today, the second daughter of the Inoue family." Kitaniwa Kunosuke kindly persuaded him to surrender.
After being stunned, Xingcai also chose to get up and bow: "Let you see you smile." ”
"I have heard of your efforts, and I hope you can achieve something on this path in the future."
The three chess tables all coincidentally exchanged gifts for a while, and the daily Yu-Gi-Oh had a sense of sight.
One by one, the stone pillars that held the scales crumbled and broke, and the waves seemed to be more raging, crashing against the reef and the beach, and the sky was as gloomy as the end of the world.
"Saito arithmetic team, 6 points..... "The referee reads out, "There is still one last game left, the deputy general battle." ”
The last solitary pillar carries the scales.
