……
"Today, I am free, but what do you want me to do?"
"You're not going to ask me to be your model again, are you?"
Half an hour later, Hayama Kazuto and Eriri arrived at the station.
"Why do you always wear the same clothes every time you go out?" Looking at Eriri wrapped tightly, Yushan Kazuto suddenly remembered Chekhov's short story - The Man in the Case.
"What's it to you?" Ying Lili stomped her feet.
"Hey, is this your attitude when asking someone for help?" Yushan Heren blinked and said.
Ying Lili pouted and raised her nose: "Let's go, let's go."
……
"What are you doing in a place like this?"
After taking the elevator, I arrived at a basement. There were many small compartments in the basement, with all kinds of strange signs hanging on them.
Passing by a cubicle, you can see many strange and bizarre py props in the dim light of the passage, and in the room in front, a 23-year-old programmer with gray hair and a little baldness is typing frantically on the keyboard.
This is the basement of Tokyo, a place that carries dreams but is also full of snakes and rats.
"There is a gaming club on Arket that is interested in my drawings and wants me to join their team."
In this environment, Eriri was a little scared and nervously grabbed Yushan Kazuto's arm.
"I'm interested in your paintings." Yushan Kazuto frowned. He got angry when he heard this.
"Let's make those 18+ games." asked Yushan Kazuto.
"No...no, it's just an otome game!" said Eriri.
"It's a game for otome people." Yushan Kazuto blinked, feeling a little regretful for accompanying Eriri to such a place.
"It might be more appropriate if Aunt Sayuri came with you."
"Mom will definitely give her opinions on their work."
What Eriri said is true. When it comes to otaku stuff, Sayuri Sawamura has always been striving for perfection.
"Where is it? We've walked so far but still haven't arrived?" Yushan Heren suddenly stopped, after all, there was only a wall in front of him.
"It's called B2-0026."
"This is floor b3, idiot."
……
When I walked to the door of B2-0026, a somewhat slovenly boy in slippers came out: "Teacher Kashiwagi Eri, you are here."
But when he saw Yushan and others, his face suddenly turned unhappy: "Who is this?"
"My boyfriend." Eriri said.
Although Eriri is a little stupid, she still knows how to protect herself.
Before, Eriri had only communicated with the other party on the Internet. Now that she has seen the person in person, Eriri is beginning to think about backing out.
"Oh, oh, it's your boyfriend, Ms. Kashiwagi Eri. Come in and sit for a while."
As I walked into the room, a damp, rotten smell filled the air. It seemed as if the room was filled with the odors of both the boys' and girls' dormitories.
Yushan Kazuto frowned, and Eriri's expression
The situation was not very good. It was okay if the conditions were poor, but Ying Lili still couldn't accept a place filled with such a strange smell.
When they walked to the center of the room, Yushan and Renren discovered that there was someone else in the room besides the sloppy boy.
A boy with long tangled hair was sleeping in a thin sleeping bag, right next to the computer desk.
"That's our planner. Our programmer didn't come today." The sloppy man introduced.
Hayama Kazuto and Eriri nodded with some difficulty.
……
"I sent you part of the project plan, Mr. Kashiwagi Eri. What do you think of this project plan?"
The scruffy man asked.
Eriri thought about it and began to speak. Although her speech was not fast, she spoke in depth, which at least showed that she had read the project plan carefully.
"I wonder what teacher Eri Kashiwagi thinks about art?" The sloppy man said cryptically as he listened.
"Art? Art is a social ideology that uses images to reflect reality but is more typical than reality."
Eriri thought back to the definition of art in her art textbook.
"No, that's not what I'm talking about." The sloppy man shook his head.
"Art requires a spirit of sacrifice. My companions and I are ready for it. I wonder if you, Mr. Kashiwagi Eri, are ready for this kind of sacrifice."
……
After walking out of the basement, Ying Lili still felt a little nauseous.
"They actually used their personal images to make male characters in an otome game, and asked me to play the female lead. I'm so pissed!"
Eriri almost smashed the other person's computer, but was stopped by the sloppy man Toru, who punched him instead.
Yushan Kazuto chuckled, and Eriri looked at him: "You, you're still laughing!"
"Now you know how I feel when you draw me into your book."
Chapter 224: Do you like yandere pretty girls?
"It's so abominable! How can there be such disgusting people in the world?" Sitting in the restaurant, Ying Lili was still depressed.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. At least you saw through the other person's true face in time." Yushan Heren said.
"It would be even more troublesome if you wait until you are pulled into the water before trying to jump out."
"Hmph, how could I possibly let them drag me into this?" Ying Lili said angrily.
"If you didn't have this idea, how could you have read the project plan so thoroughly?" Yushan Heren said.
Ying Lili lowered her head and said nothing.
"Although it's not nice for me to point fingers at your hobbies, but... at least you should choose a more formal team to join."
Eriri shook her head. “Most game teams don’t lack artists.”
Whether it is a galgame or an otome game, one of the biggest selling points is the exquisite painting style. Therefore, the painter is of utmost importance to the game team. The only thing that can be compared with it is the plot.
"If I hadn't come, you might have already joined this club, did you know that?" Yushan Heren said.
"I, I'm not a fool. How could I possibly join them with such an excessive request?"
"If I hadn't come, the other party would definitely not have made these implicit requests so clear."
"They will trick you into joining first, and then slowly make excessive demands."
"You are not satisfied if you give up halfway through your work, so you have to accept things that are getting more and more excessive step by step."
"Don't, don't say anymore." When Yushan Kazuto said this, Eriri was already a little scared. A layer of tiny beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and her back felt cold.
"Don't think too much. Be careful about what you do in the future. At least it was a wise choice for you to ask me to accompany you today."
"Stop bragging, you stinky Kazuto." Eriri kicked Yushan Kazuto with her little foot.
"Hey, can't I just tell you the truth?"
"No Road Race!"
……
August 15th, Japan Shogi Association.
"Yin Zi, your dark circles have become heavier again." Yu Shan He Ren said.
"No, you're seeing things." Kong Yinzi shook his head and said.
"The set form of Tulongwei cannot be learned in a day or two, so you don't have to be so anxious." Yushan Heren said.
"I've said it all, no!" Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan and others and emphasized his tone.
"We have to win today's game, otherwise, this third-stage league will be in danger." Seeing Ginko's stubbornness, Yushan Heren had to change the subject.
Sora Ginko's opponent is the Edogawa Ryusei - Yugo Ota, who is currently ranked second in the third-tier league and has won eight out of ten games.
Kong Yinzi is currently ranked third with seven wins in ten games.
"I know." Kong Yinzi's eyes were determined. She was determined to win this game.
……
"You win, and your opponent concedes defeat."
This game was probably the fastest game that Yushan Kazuto had ever experienced. After he dealt with the opponent's chariots and corner moves within ten moves, the opponent actually gave up directly.
Yushan Kazuto sat in the backstage, playing chess with Hinazuru Ai on his cell phone while waiting a little anxiously.
An hour later, Hui-chan's voice came through the headphones, and Hayama Kazuto laughed.
"Congratulations, Yinzi, for returning to second place." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
"The other party is very strong." Kong Yinzi acknowledged the other party's strength.
"However, he can't handle the Dragon Slaying Encirclement."
Kong Yinzi did not fully understand Tulongwei, but he only used a few set moves during the game and disrupted the opponent's layout.
"Dudu."
A Line notification sound came from Yushan Kazuto's phone.
Hinazuru Ai sent a few pictures, which turned out to be the chess records that Sora Ginko had just played.
"Brother Kazuto, these seem to be the Dragon Slaying Techniques, right?"
There seemed to be murderous intent hidden in Hinazuru Ai's words.
"When Xiao Ai wants to learn, she always says it's inappropriate."
“Why did you teach it to others?”
"Kazuto-sama, can you explain this to Ai-chan?"
"Who sent you a message? It keeps ringing." Looking at Yushan Heren's dilemma expression, Kong Yinzi suddenly said with some dissatisfaction.
"Xiao Ai... that is, Hinazuru Ai, she also wants to learn the Dragon Slaying Technique."
"What does a little brat know?" Kong Yinzi said indignantly.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and said, "If she insists, then teach her."
There is one thing that Yushan Kazuto did not say: In fact, Hinazuru Ai is more suitable for learning Tulongwei than Sora Ginko.
……
"Tianyi, do you understand both games?" Moonlight Saint City asked
"I couldn't understand the game between Yushan and others at all. It felt a bit like a performance chess game. The opponent followed his rhythm completely, as if he was his puppet."
The game between Yushan and Kazuto lasted only a dozen moves, but in the eyes of those who understand chess, there are thousands of possibilities. However, all the routes point to Yushan and Kazuto's victory. I am afraid that only the arrival of Doctor Who can find a way to win.
"What about the one about the silver?"
"I'm not sure, but I felt that I saw the method used by Yushan and others to break the cave bear siege."
"Although it is still relatively immature, it is no longer like the previous one that only has form but no spirit.
I feel it." Yaksha Shen Tianyi spoke slowly.
"Yes, that's the method." Moonlight Saint City said.
"Has Princess Shirayuki of Naniwa gone to find Kazuto Hayama to become his disciple?"
"No, they are good friends, and Yushan Heren gave her special guidance." Moonlight Shengshi said.
"How about it, Tianyi, this master Yushan Heren should be able to meet your needs, right?"
"At least wait until he gets the title, or is promoted to A-level chess player."
