Looking at Doma Yui's angry look, Yushan Kazuto found it very amusing and couldn't help but smile.
However, Doma Mai couldn't help but glance at Yushan Kazuto, took a book that interested her most from the bookcase, sat on the sofa and started reading.
This book is an autobiographical work by a cartoonist. Most of the content in the book is presented in the form of four-frame comics.
The moment she saw the book for the first time, Tsuchima regarded it as a treasure and immediately bought it with her own money.
This book is also the only book that Doma Yui bought at the book fair with her own money.
Therefore, compared to Touma Sanae who did not pay a penny, Touma Yui still has more confidence.
At least she paid for a book, and she thought it was better than Sanae Toumori who was so stingy.
But in fact, Yushan Kazuto didn't care about the money for buying books at all, and Touma Sanae also contributed a lot. After Yushan Kazuto and the other three left, Touma's family still had to make some purchases!
……
At the Tokyo International Book Fair, the staff had already completely recorded the books that Yushan Kazuto and the other three had purchased today and made a list.
Several people gathered around the list, discussing purchasing matters.
It is naturally impossible to purchase all of these books. After all, there are more than a hundred types. If we purchase several thousand copies of each type, the purchase quantity would be too much.
After some discussion, several people decided to focus on purchasing some less popular books.
There is a lot of room for maneuver in purchasing these books. If all else fails, they can be directly distributed to various schools under the Sakura Education Group to enrich their libraries.
After further discussion, they finally made a purchase list. There were twenty-three books on the list, with the smallest purchase being two thousand and the largest being twelve thousand, for a total of one hundred and fifty thousand books.
Although this purchase amount is nothing for some large booksellers, for some large publishing houses, 150,000 copies is just a drizzle.
However, most of the books purchased by several people were relatively niche.
For these niche books, this purchase is of great significance.
The Hebrew Old Testament that Yushan Kazuto and his three companions first purchased was on the list.
Moreover, the purchase amount was as high as 8,000 copies, a figure that the exhibitors could hardly believe before. It was considered a stroke of luck.
“What should we do with this original list?”
After confirming the purchase list, several people looked at the record list in the middle and felt a little embarrassed.
Strictly speaking, the actions of several people were considered to be a violation of the privacy of Yushan and others. Although it was not a very important matter, due to Touma Sanae's identity, it still had to be handled with caution.
"Let's clean it up." After thinking for a while, the leader spoke.
In fact, he also knew that he was able to record this list with the tacit consent of Yushan Kazuto and Toumori Sanae. Otherwise, someone would naturally come to warn him.
However, even with permission, he still did not dare to take it lightly.
After all, this permission did not even require verbal explanation; everything was a psychological understanding between both parties.
The original record list, although the information on it was not very important to Yushan and the other three.
But for them, they still need to handle it carefully and meticulously.
After putting the list into the shredder and watching it gradually turn into scraps of paper, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
"Next, we will divide the purchase of this list into four days and make sure it is completed before the end of the book fair." The leader felt relieved.
"Yes!" the others said in unison.
The few of them continued to discuss the distribution of purchased books before leaving the venue of the Tokyo International Book Fair.
However, Yushan and others did not know all this.
However, he was very clear that the actions of himself and his companions would definitely be recorded by the Tu Shou family.
The Touma family has taken relatively adequate protective measures for Touma Sanae. No matter what she wants to do, they will help her to complete the process diligently and responsibly.
Yushan Heren didn't care about this, as long as he didn't show it too obviously so that people could see it.
It turns out that the staff of Tushou family are well-trained.
When Yushan and others were buying books, they noticed a few people, like the three people of Tsuchiya, but they didn't react at all.
……
After dinner, Doma Mai sat in front of the computer with her hands folded.
Looking at the somewhat contradictory combination of Tsuchima Yui, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly: "Umaru-chan, do you want to read a book or play games?"
"Can't I read a book in my spare time after playing games?" Tsuchima couldn't help but pout.
She found this autobiographical four-frame comic book quite interesting, and she couldn't put it down even more than she loved reading "Weekly Shonen Jump".
"Suddenly I remembered
, it seems that today is the release date of Shonen Jump." Hearing this, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
Hearing "Weekly Shonen Jump", Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but look up and looked at Hayama Kazuto.
But after thinking about it, Doma Mai lowered her head. Even though she had "Weekly Shonen Jump" at hand, she would rather finish reading the book in her hand first.
"Let's buy it tomorrow. It's okay."
Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Tsuchima. If he didn't buy "Weekly Shonen Jump" on Mondays, and Tsuchima remembered it, she would act like a spoiled child and force him to go out and buy it.
As they chatted, the computer was already turned on. Tsuchima opened Discord casually, and unexpectedly saw Yukinoshita Yukino online.
Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but take off her headphones and looked at Hayama Kazuto: "Scumbag senior, Yukinoshita-senpai is actually online."
"I said, at least this summer, the other party will continue to play." Yushan Heren blinked and said.
Doma Mai then pursed her lips, put on her headphones again, tried to adjust her voice to be softer, and said, "Yukinoshita-senpai? Good evening."
"Yeah." Yukinoshita Yukino put down the book in her hand and responded lightly.
After returning to Chiba and having dinner, she began reading a book while waiting for Yushan and others to come online.
Chapter 2112: Ranking Battle
Friday, just after dinner.
"Scumbag senior, it's raining." Looking at the gloomy sky outside the window, Tsuchima Mai walked to the kitchen and spoke.
"Is it raining?" Yushan Heren turned around and blinked slightly.
"It's normal. The news reported before that a typhoon will land tonight." After thinking about it, Yushan Heren said.
It is normal to rain in summer.
If there is no rain in the summer of a certain year, that would be a big problem.
"It looks like it's going to rain heavily." Domama said with a blink.
It has become completely dark outside the window. It is summer now, and at this time of day it is still bright outside.
"It doesn't matter. I can't come home anyway." Yushan Heren looked at Tsuchima Yui and couldn't help but say.
"But...but isn't that scumbag senior going to the chess academy to participate in that celebrity tournament tomorrow?" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but say.
The rain outside the window doesn't look like it will stop for a while, but if it really starts raining, I'm afraid it won't stop in a short time.
"The Meijin Tournament." Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but blink slightly. It has been a long time since he last played shogi, and it might seem a little unfamiliar to him now.
No matter what skill you have, if you haven't used or practiced it for a long time, it will become rusty. There is no such thing as leaving a certain field for a long time and then making progress after returning.
When Doma Yui suddenly mentioned shogi, Yuyama Kazuto couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Well, I have to participate in the ranking battle tomorrow."
Since I have decided to participate in the Celebrity Tournament, I must participate in the Ranking Tournament.
Yushan Kazuto had never participated in a ranking battle before, mainly because he felt that the ranking battle was too troublesome.
All new professional shogi players can only join C-level Group 2. It takes at least five years to rise from C-level Group 2 to Group A, then get first place in Group A and qualify to challenge the celebrity.
It had only been a few months since Yushan Kazuto debuted when he obtained the title of Dragon King. Naturally, he was not interested in the ranking battle which was based on seniority.
However, after Kazuto Hayama obtained the title of Dragon King, many chess players studied Kazuto Hayama's chess records and discovered that shogi was about to undergo a transformation.
Ordinary chess players need game fees to support their families, so they usually try to stay in the ranking battle as much as possible.
However, top chess players have relatively high incomes and usually have a lot of commercial activities, so the match fees for the ranking matches are somewhat dispensable to them.
Therefore, after carefully studying the chess records of Kazuto Yuyama for a period of time and finding that it might be difficult for them to keep up with the times, four members of Group A of the Ranking Tournament announced their retirement.
Four places in Group A were suddenly vacated, and they were vacated before the start of the new year's ranking competition. Even if the Shogi Federation wanted to ask people from Group B1 to fill them, it would be difficult.
What's more, many players in other groups have announced their retirement, leaving many vacancies in each group of the ranking battle.
Therefore, the Shogi League finally made a difficult decision to add an additional winning streak promotion rule in addition to the ranking promotion.
As long as you win seven games in a row in the ranking battle, you will automatically advance. If you are lucky and win all the way, you can directly join Group A after at least twenty-eight games, which greatly saves promotion time.
Of course, there are also many people who think that this rule is not fair enough, because anyone with a discerning eye can see that, except for the talented chess player Kazuto Yushan, it is almost impossible for others to complete this winning streak challenge.
This rule of winning streak and getting promoted seemed to be set up for Yushan Kazuto.
However, such voices are still relatively small because this rule has been made as reasonable as possible.
The rest of the people dare not claim to have won 28 games in a row, but they can still challenge for seven consecutive wins.
What's more, the ranking battle for each group of shogi actually only has ten games. A player who can get seven consecutive wins actually has a great chance of advancing even under the original rules.
You can't have three consecutive losses after seven consecutive wins, that would be too unstable.
I have to say that this rule caused quite a stir when it came out.
Winning streak challenges like this are actually very popular among many passers-by.
Those who can pass the challenge are all geniuses among geniuses, and it will also be convenient for the Shogi Alliance to promote it.
If the response this year is good, the Shogi Federation may even formally incorporate this rule into the supplementary rules of the ranking battle.
"Didn't you never go there before?" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but blink slightly and said.
She remembered that Yushan Kazuto had never participated in this kind of ranking battle before.
"There's nothing we can do. We have to participate in the celebrity tournament." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
Doma Yui couldn't help but blink. Although she had learned a little about shogi before, until now, she still had only a vague understanding of the rules of shogi, and she was even less clear about things like these title challenges.
"Do we have to go to the chess academy every Saturday night again?" Tsuchima couldn't help but pout.
"We have to go on Saturday and Sunday." Yushan Heren couldn't help but blink and said.
If you still play one game a week like before, it will take too long to get promoted.
In order to save time, Yushan Heren can only play one more game every week, so that he can be promoted faster.
"Ah?" Tsuchima couldn't help but pout.
Originally opened
After school, I don’t have much time to play games. If Saturday and Sunday nights are occupied by shogi, I will have even less time.
"What? You don't have to go down." Yushanheren couldn't help but give Tujianmai a blank look and said.
Doma Mai puffed her cheeks slightly. Although she didn't have to force herself to occupy her time, she often went to the chess academy. Wasn't that also a disguised way of wasting time?
What's more important is that if Yushan and Ren do this, they will have less time to spend with themselves.
Tsuchiya couldn't help but purse her lips slightly and stared at Yushan Kazuto.
"Go to the door and see if anyone is ringing the doorbell?"
Hearing a slight doorbell ring, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Doma Mai.
People were still washing dishes in the kitchen, and the sound of running water was quite loud, so the sound that Yushan and others heard was not very real.
"Ah? It seems so!" Tsuchima Mai couldn't help but walk quickly to the door and glance outside through the peephole.
Outside the door, Sora Ginko, dressed in a sailor suit, was waiting.
"Silver?" After opening the door, Tujian Mai couldn't help but ask.
Glancing at Umaru Tsuchima, Sora Ginko couldn't help but blink slightly, but still greeted her, "Umaru-chan."
"Senior Kazuto, the money is coming!" Making way for them, Tsuchima Mai shouted towards the kitchen.
Yushan Heren then put down the cutlery in his hand and looked at Kong Yinzi: "Yinzi, why are you here?"
