"No wonder you were still so lively after being injured. It turned out to be a fake injury?"
"If I hadn't prepared in advance, the minimum I would have gotten would have been a broken ankle."
Sobu Ginbei's kick was not light. If he hadn't seen that Kazuto Yuyama's socks were stained with a red card, he would not have retracted the kick.
"Forget it, I'm not here to argue with you about right or wrong." Shizuka Hiratsuka finished her cigarette, squatted on the ground to extinguish the remaining fire, and threw the cigarette holder into her pocket.
"In order to stop the revenge of Sobu Ginbe, I made a promise to him. I will teach you a lesson!"
"I remember that you couldn't beat me after you were nine years old, right?"
Although her shortcomings were exposed by Yushan Kazuto, Hiratsuka Shizuka wisely chose to ignore it.
"After Golden Week, a new teacher will come to Fengzhizaki and she will take over your class.
I specifically asked her to take good care of you, and I hope you can make progress in your studies and live a happy life." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled with a look of success.
"Hiratsuka Shizuka, Mr. Hasumi is a good teacher. There's no need to let others suffer unnecessary misfortune regarding my affairs." Yushan Kazuto's eyes were cold.
"Don't worry, your current class teacher will not be transferred or fired, he will just be promoted." Shizuka Hiratsuka has known Kazuto Yuyama for many years, so she naturally knows Kazuto Yuyama's bottom line.
"Then let the horse come over."
……
Kiyotaki's house.
In the living room, Sora Ginko, Kiyotaki Kosuke, and Kiyotaki Keika were sitting around a coffee table.
The coffee table was filled with seven or eight tablet computers, each with a screen filled with classic chess records.
"Found it! It's this! The key move that led to Kawama Ouchi's comeback in the seventh game of the 2004 Dragon King Tournament!" Kiyotaki Kosuke suddenly shouted.
"So, those seemingly weird chess moves actually come from classic chess records?" Qingtaki Keika asked from the side.
"Well, that's 100% correct. He must have studied a lot of chess records during this period, but it's amazing that he can arrange and combine the chess records like this."
"But Master, why did he become much weaker after studying the chess manuals?" Kong Yinzi asked puzzledly.
"How to explain it?" Qingtaki Kosuke was a little embarrassed.
"Let me put it this way. At first, he was a knight-errant hero with natural supernatural powers. Although he didn't know martial arts, he could fight his way through with just his young fists."
"But now, he has become a fledgling disciple of a famous family, with peerless martial arts skills, but he doesn't know how to use them."
"Only when he has fully combined his strength and skills, can he transform from a cocoon into a butterfly and soar into the sky! At that time, he will be a peerless master who can lift heavy objects with ease!"
"How can I... combine strength and skills?" Kong Yin Zi bit her lip and asked.
"There's only one word: practice!"
Chapter 42: Xiaoxue
A red Aston Martin stopped in front of the apartment, and Yushan Kazuto got out from the passenger seat holding a quilt.
Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out of the cab, holding her waist: "Smelly boy, can't you be gentler? I have to go back to Chiba tomorrow!"
"If you hadn't sneak-attacked me after the sparring match, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
Yushan Kazuto chuckled. Hiratsuka Shizuka wanted to attack from behind, but he took advantage of the situation and leaned against Hiratsuka Shizuka. Then he gave her a light push and Hiratsuka Shizuka fell straight to the ground.
"Damn it, can't you be a little gentler?"
"There's a good German orthopedic surgeon in Roppongi. Do you want his phone number? At your age, you should be concerned about osteoporosis."
"Heheheheheheheh……"
Listening to Shizuka Hiratsuka's tragic laughter like a screaming chicken, Kazuto Yuyama felt a chill on his spine. He turned his head and walked into the apartment.
……
In the room, Yukino Yukinoshita only turned on a bedside lamp, and the light was a little dim. Next to the bedside lamp was Yuyama Kazuto's computer chair, and on the chair was a book upside down, which was Kasumi Shiko's "Love Metronome".
The kitten is sleeping soundly in the cat bed, and doesn't seem to be afraid of strangers. Its body is curled up like a small fur ball, and if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of "gurgling".
Yushan Kazuto put the quilt in his hand on the bed: "You can cover yourself with this quilt tonight."
"No, I'll just read a book tonight. I still have to take care of it." Yukinoshita walked to the kitten with a faint smile on her face.
"It's up to you." Yushan Heren shrugged, found some clothes and went into the bathroom.
The bathroom in the apartment where she lives alone has little soundproofing. Listening to the sound of water splashing in the bathroom, Yukinoshita Yukino blushed for some reason.
It was late at night. Yukinoshita Yukino was covered with a small floral quilt. She was flipping through "Love Metronome" while looking after the kitten, and occasionally stealing glances at Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Heren’s sleeping posture is not very good. He has the habit of rolling up the quilt, and his whole body curled up looks like a big insect.
[As expected, Yushan Kazuto is a bug! 】
Yushan Kazuto moved slightly and changed to a more comfortable position. Yukinoshita Yukino quickly moved her eyes away and looked to the side.
The two red hairbands on the table caught her attention. She tiptoed up from the chair, picked up the two hairbands, and walked into the bathroom.
At 5:30 in the morning, Yushan Kazuto woke up on time.
Yukinoshita Yukino had fallen asleep leaning on the chair, and the book in her hand had slipped onto her legs.
Yushan Kazuto got up from the bed, made the bed, and wanted to go straight into the bathroom, but after thinking about it, he walked to the side of Yukinoshita Yukino and covered her with the quilt.
[Hmm? There are two more hairbands on your head. Are you still dressing up in the middle of the night? ]
Leaving quietly, Yushan and others walked to the side of the kitten. There was a sticky note on the cat bed, which recorded the time when the kitten was fed. The last time it was fed was at 3:50 in the morning.
Yushan Heren brewed a tube of goat milk powder and gently stuffed it into the kitten's mouth. Although the kitten was still groggy and hadn't woken up yet, it started to eat it with a slurp.
By the time he finished all his work, it was already 5:50 in the morning. Yushan and Ren walked out the door and started their daily morning exercise.
……
At seven o'clock, Yushan and others returned to the apartment with breakfast.
In the apartment, Yukinoshita Yukino was standing in the kitchen with a confused expression.
"Yushan Kazuto, why is there only drinks in your refrigerator and no other food?"
Seeing Yushan Kazuto coming back, Yukinoshita Yukino asked.
"Because I'm too lazy to cook." Yushan Heren said righteously.
Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at Hayama Kazuto and took a bag of breakfast from him.
After breakfast, they fed the kitten a tube of goat milk before going out.
……
3pm.
"Yukinoshita, I think the pet center in Odaiba is pretty good. There's no need to look for another one." For the first time, Yushan Kazuto felt that shopping with a girl was a painful experience.
"Let's wait and see. It's only three o'clock in the afternoon." Yukinoshita Yukino showed no signs of fatigue at all and said energetically.
"But we are already in Edogawa District. If we continue to search, we will have to go to Chiba."
"Oh, well, okay then, the one in Odaiba?" Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly blushed.
"Well, let's go."
……
"My two guests, are you planning to foster this kitten for a month to complete basic registration, cleaning, feeding, vaccinations, and training it in life skills?" asked the clerk at the pet center very politely.
"Yes, that's the work." Yushan Kazuto nodded, "Maybe I'll continue to send it for a while."
"Okay, I'll make a note for you. Please sign this contract. If the kitten has a name, please provide it as well."
Yushan Kazuto took the initiative to step aside, and Yukinoshita Yukino walked up and asked, "Excuse me, do I have to name the kitten?"
"This is not necessary, but if the cat has a name, we will help train the cat to respond to the name."
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yuyama Kazuto. In fact, she had already given the kitten countless names in her mind, but she was still not satisfied.
"This is a little tabby cat with dark blue fur. Let's call it Xiaoxue." Yushan Heren felt a sudden surge of evil amusement.
Up.
"Xiaoxue? Xiaohua is better than Xiaoxue."
Yushan Kazuto looked at Yukinoshita Yukino in surprise. She didn't even realize that he was taking advantage of her. Maybe it was because she didn't sleep well last night.
"Xiaoxue, if you are satisfied with this name, just call it." Yushan Heren scratched the kitten.
"Meow~" the kitten called out comfortably.
"Let's call her Xiaoxue. Please register her." Yushan Heren smiled and handed the kitten to the staff.
The kitten felt that there was a new person next to it and started to cry out anxiously. Fortunately, the staff was very skilled in petting cats and calmed the kitten down in a few strokes, otherwise Yukinoshita Yukino would have felt very sorry for it.
The two walked out of the pet center.
"How are you going back to Chiba? Will someone pick you up? Or will you take the train yourself?"
"The driver will come to pick me up." Yukinoshita Yukino said softly.
"Then you call the driver and we'll find a cafe nearby to sit for a while."
"Yes." Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.
……
In the coffee shop, Yukinoshita Yukino was obviously a little sleepy. She didn't sleep much last night and had a busy day today. As soon as she sat down, she felt drowsy.
"Well, Yushan Kazuto, if you have time, please pay more attention to Xiaoxue." Yukinoshita Yukino said in a daze. Even though she was half asleep, she was still thinking about the kitten in her heart. It just felt like these words had a bit of a double entendre.
"I come here from Chiba once a week."
Chapter 43 I Will Help You
May 3rd, sunny.
Every year during the Golden Week, the Japan Shogi Association holds some special events to attract the attention of chess fans. This year is no exception. The joint challenge tournament jointly organized by many celebrities and chess fans is very eye-catching.
The chess academy was bustling with people coming and going, with more than ten matches going on at the same time. The most watched one was between [Naniwa no Shirayuki] Sora Ginko and [Strike Archangel] Tsukiya Misaka Ryo.
Both of them are the holders of the women's title. When Sora Ginko was still in the Kansai Chess Institute, the duel between the two was called the battle of ice and fire! Tsukiya Misaka Ryo is good at fast chess, pressing step by step, and playing chess in a very fierce way, while Sora Ginko is good at defense and careful layout. Her specialty is to use static to control dynamic.
But today, Kong Yinzi was acting out of character. Seeing that Ban Liao was moving his pieces quickly, Yue Ye also moved her pieces quickly! Fierce, fierce, and aggressive!
Yushan Kazuto sat not far from the chessboard, yawning as he watched the chess. The chess fans were excited and happy, but he just felt that there were many loopholes. The only thing worth praising was that Sora Ginko's thinking ability was really good. She probably studied the moves he made when playing fast chess with her seriously and memorized them.
Yue Ye Jian Ban Liao had fought with Kong Ginko dozens of times, but this was the first time he had seen Kong Ginko in this state. She was calm and sharp, like an icy long sword, three feet and three inches long, and the flash of the sword tip was chilling.
"Kong Yinzi, where did you go to practice? You've improved a lot in chess." Yue Ye saw Ban Liao baring his teeth, with a somewhat arrogant expression on his face.
Kong Yinzi did not answer, but caught a glimpse of Yushan Heren yawning out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head and glared at him, then continued to make her move.
【Why are you looking at me while playing chess? 】
Yushan Kazuto blinked and tried to cheer himself up.
Fortunately, the game didn't last too long. In this game, Sora Ginko changed her usual conservative tactics and took the initiative to attack, catching Tsukiya Misaka Ryo off guard. In just 84 moves, she won the game.
The two players played fast chess and finished the whole game in more than an hour. The much-anticipated focus match turned out to be the fastest game to end this morning.
"Go to the teahouse opposite the chess academy and wait for me." Before leaving, Kong Yinzi sent a message to Yushan Kazuto.
Yushan Kazuto stood up yawning. He didn't want to stay in the chess academy any longer. Everyone was talking about shogi with great interest, and if he yawned, he would be stared at by everyone.
After brewing a cup of tea and quietly sipping it for more than ten minutes, Kong Yinzi finally came in. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, obviously she had run.
"Just now, I went to write on a fan." Kong Yinzi explained concisely.
The income of the chess academy is mainly divided into two parts: one is the income from game broadcasting, the second is tuition fees, and the third is the income from peripheral products. Fans written by professional chess players have always been one of the most popular products in the chess academy and are very valuable.
"It's okay, would you like some tea?" Yushan Heren picked up the teacup and shook it gently. The swaying tea exuded a refreshing fragrance.
Kong Yinzi put away the umbrella, shook her head, and sat next to Yushan Heren: "After drinking, accompany me to a place, there are things I want to tell you."
Kong Yinzi's voice was not loud, but it could be heard that she seemed very happy. Yushan Heren didn't want to spoil her fun, so he nodded.
……
"I didn't expect that there is such a paradise in Tokyo." Looking at the beautiful hills in front of him, Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but praise. In Chiyoda, where every inch of land is valuable, there is actually such a pristine place.
The mountain road is neither steep nor rugged, and the lush trees block out the sunlight. Even if one has limited physical strength, one can easily reach the top.
