You know, Sakanan Daiko was defeated by Toyonosaki 8-0. They were able to eliminate the other teams with 8-0, which shows the gap between the teams.
Without Kazuto Hayama, Toyonosaki couldn't gain much compared to the team that was eliminated 8-0 by Sakanan Daiko. At most, they had one more explosive point in Toyonosaki No. 11, but the opponent was still injured.
Such a team as Toyonosaki challenged the overlord of the Japanese high school league in recent years - Aomori Yamada. The fact that they were not beaten by a double-digit score could only be attributed to Aomori Yamada being too kind.
The gap between the two sides was evened out by Hayama Kazuto with his unique personal ability. If Hayama Kazuto had really been absent from the final, Toyonosaki might as well have had five players sent off and lost directly with a score of 0-3.
Kong Yinzi stretched out her little hand: "Let me see."
Yushan Heren blinked slightly and understood what Kong Yinzi meant. The other party wanted to see the news about the time of the national competition finals. He had no choice but to take out his mobile phone, call up the Twitter of the competition committee, and handed it to Kong Yinzi.
"Hmm, your hands are so cold." When Yushan Heren touched Kong Yinzi's hand, he couldn't help but blink slightly.
Kong Yinzi suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She snatched the phone away, then quickly withdrew her right hand and looked down at the phone.
Yushan Kazuto scratched his head and looked to the side somewhat unnaturally.
Looking at the organizing committee's Twitter, Kong Yinzi couldn't help but squint his eyes. The competition started at ten in the morning, which happened to coincide with the battle with the Dragon King.
Generally speaking, title challenge matches are often very long.
Although there are precedents where a game ends in a few minutes, most games will last from day to night, and it is very common to even continue into the next day.
Because of this, the title challenge matches are usually set earlier, and this time the start time is 10 am.
"I will try my best to mediate." Kong Yinzi put the phone aside and did not return it to Yushan Heren directly. Just now, Yushan Heren touched her hand, which made her feel like an electric shock. She didn't dare to be touched by Yushan Heren again.
"Then thank you, Yin Zi." Yushan Heren said.
Although it is not clear whether Kong Yinzi's mediation will be effective, Yushan Heren is already very grateful that the other party is willing to help him.
"But what if we lose the title battle?" Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan Kazuto coldly.
"Lose...what will happen if we lose?" Yushan Heren asked.
"You know the consequences yourself." Kong Yinzi glanced at Yushan and others, stood up, and wanted to return to Qingtaki's house.
Originally, Kong Yinzi rushed over with the intention of demanding an explanation, but the reality was not quite the same as she had imagined. There were indeed objective factors behind Yushan Heren's proposal to change the game time.
Yushan Kazuto is usually very efficient in playing chess. Even if the title challenge drags on, one afternoon and one evening are enough for Yushan Kazuto.
The best option at the moment is to start the title match in the afternoon, or change the date. If that is not possible, perhaps Yushan Kazuto will have to give up the first match of the title match.
With Yushan Kazuto's strength, even if he gives up the first game of the title match, it would not be difficult for him to win back in the next six games.
Moreover, it is very likely that six games are not necessary, four games will be enough for Yushan Kazuto.
But if this is the case, the victory of the first game will be given to Kuzuryuu Yaichi for nothing.
, Kong Yinzi still couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.
"Let me see you off." Yushan Heren said as he followed Kong Yinzi to the door.
Kong Yinzi looked back at Yushan Heren, but did not refuse. She just blinked slightly and walked out of the room.
……
"It seems like we haven't had an evening walk like this in a long time."
The two walked together for a few hundred meters, and Yushan Heren suddenly said.
The last time they took a walk at night was a few months ago, and Hinazuru Ai was there too.
Since the chess game time was changed to Saturday, the two have not had the experience of taking a walk together.
Kong Yin Zi looked ahead, didn't say anything, just responded lightly.
"It's still early, why don't we go to the river and take a look?" Yushan Heren suggested.
It's not even nine o'clock yet, so it's not too late, but for Kong Yinzi's age, it's actually curfew.
Kong Yinzi just nodded silently, turned around, and walked towards the river.
……
There were no street lights along the river bank, and it was pitch black. The two of them leaned on the bridge railing, silently listening to the sound of flowing water.
The river was rushing fast. Although I couldn't see clearly in the dark, I could imagine it just by listening to the sound.
Kong Yinzi turned her head and looked at Yushan Heren.
Chapter 1248 A Night Talk with Kong Yinzi
"You've been busy lately." Kong Yin Zi said slowly.
"Well... after the national competition is over, I shouldn't be so busy." Yushan Kazuto stretched and said.
Although we still have to prepare for the national competition next year after this year's competition, there is a one-year gap between them!
"You've been busy lately, too, right? I heard that you signed up for the Ruiwang Tournament." Yushan Kazuto said slowly.
"The game hasn't started yet." Kong Yinzi said lightly.
In fact, she is indeed very busy. In addition to various matters related to the chess academy, she also cannot neglect her studies.
Although Kong Yinzi no longer goes to school, her learning progress has never slowed down.
"Will you participate in the other title challenges?" After a moment of silence, Kong Yin Zi asked.
"It depends on the situation. I'm not too interested in it personally." Yushan Heren said, "Maybe? Will you pick another celebrity?"
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but look at Yushan Heren, as if the titles of Dragon King and celebrity were within his grasp.
"Last year, Hanyu Sanye won four championships." said Kong Yinzi.
Yushan Kazuto blinked. When Hanyu Yamada was at his peak, it would not be surprising even if he won seven championships.
However, according to the current situation in the shogi world, Kazuto Hayama has a chance to break the record of seven championships in a year.
After all, there is now a new title in the shogi world - Eio.
If Kazuto Hayama wins all eight titles within a year, he will break Hanyu Yamamoto's record and become the eight-time champion of the year.
"There are too many title battles, I don't have that much time." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and said.
If he really signs up for multiple title fights, I'm afraid Yushan Kazuto will have to drop out of school.
Hanyu Sanye's situation is different. After all, the title fight is based on a challenge system. After winning the title, he can retain the title as long as no one challenges him successfully.
In the year when he became the seven-time champion, Yoshiharu Hanyu did not win all the title battles. Many of them were just holdovers from previous years.
If Hayama Kazuto wants to collect eight championships within a year like collecting stamps, he must play chess almost every day.
"In the football field, has any professional club contacted you?" Kong Yinzi blinked slightly and asked.
Although she doesn't often go to watch football games, she knows that Yushan Kazuto's talent in football is no worse than his talent in shogi.
"As for Japan, no." said Yushan Kazuto.
Kong Yinzi blinked slightly and couldn't help feeling a little strange. Even a layman like her could see the talent of Yushan Kazuto in football. Why didn't those professional clubs invite Yushan Kazuto?
"It's mainly because in Europe, clubs like Real Madrid, Manchester United, Paris and others have extended olive branches, and Japanese clubs have retreated in the face of difficulties." Yushan Kazuto shrugged and spoke again.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but glare at Yushan Heren. She didn't expect that Yushan Heren would use the Versailles tactic of first criticizing and then praising.
"What conditions did they offer?" Kong Yinzi asked.
If Kazuto Yuyama really accepted the invitation from Europe and went to Europe to play football, then wouldn't it be... difficult for me to see Kazuto Yuyama again in the future?
"Paris, which offers the best treatment, has already offered a basic annual salary of 5 million plus a floating clause of 2 million, and a bonus of 200,000 for each goal scored." Yushan Kazuto said slowly.
Invitations from several big clubs were sent to his email, and Yushan Kazuto took a quick look at them.
Although he has no intention of entering professional football, Kazuto Yuyama is still somewhat proud to be recognized by these clubs.
"Only... three million?" Kong Yinzi blinked.
The champion of the Dragon King Tournament will receive a prize of more than 40 million. Although the prize money for other title challenges is less than that of the Dragon King Tournament, it is not as low as 3 million.
The top 30 players in the Japanese shogi world can basically earn more than 10 million yuan a year just from prize money and equipment fees, but the situation for those outside the top 30 is a bit mixed.
However, if we take into account work such as guidance, dispatch and refereeing, most professional chess players can maintain a relatively decent income.
"The unit is Euro." Yushan Heren said angrily.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help but glare at Yushan Heren. A basic salary of 5 million euros is almost 600 million.
The annual income record of Japanese chess players has not reached this number!
There are also floating bonuses and goal bonuses. If Yushan Kazuto scores more than 20 goals in a season, his annual income will exceed 10 million euros.
"Do you... do you want to go?" Kong Yinzi lowered her head, bit her lips, and asked in a low voice.
Whether in terms of influence or income, shogi and football are clearly not on the same level.
"Aren't I still here now?" Yushan Heren smiled.
If I really wanted to become a professional player, I would probably be in Europe now.
Kong Yinzi blinked slightly: "Let's go, I want to go back."
"I'll take you there." Yushan Heren nodded and followed behind Yushan Heren.
After chatting casually with Yushan Kazuto, Kong Yinzi found that her heart was a little confused.
Kazuto Hayama does not seem to intend to become a professional player, but he also has no intention of deepening his involvement in the shogi world. She is a little unsure what Kazuto Hayama wants to do in the future.
Sora Ginko studied shogi and worked hard, just to get a little closer to Yushan Kazuto.
But now, Yushan Kazuto was standing next to her, and she felt
A feeling of being in a cloud and fog.
She didn't know what Yushan Heren's plans for the future were. The other party seemed like a fog. Although she knew that there might be unknown risks in the fog, it still attracted Kong Yinzi and made her want to go deeper.
"Hey, the moon is out." When they arrived at the door of Qingtaki's house, Yushan Kazuto suddenly looked up at the sky. The moon, which had been shrouded in clouds, actually found a window and came out to show its face.
Kong Yinzi also raised her head. The moonlight was a little hazy, but it had a strange beauty.
"Aren't you going in yet?" Yushan Heren asked with his head tilted.
"Look at the moon again." Kong Yinzi said.
Yushan Kazuto smiled and said, "It's not too late to go home and watch from the window."
Kong Yinzi didn't say anything, but just silently leaned towards Yushan and others.
Yushan Kazuto shrugged, "Your little hands are almost turning into ice."
Kong Yinzi just looked at the moon and quietly put her hand into Yushan Heren's pocket.
"Huh?" Yushan Heren blinked. His pocket was indeed a lot warmer. There was nothing wrong with Kong Yinzi doing this.
"Yin Zi, Sister Guixiang is watching by the window!" Yushan Heren said in a low voice.
Sora Ginko turned her head and looked at Kiyotaki's house, but did not see Kiyotaki Keika, and she didn't even see her car. She couldn't help but glare at Yushan Kazuto.
Chapter 1249: Kong Yinzi's Request
"By the way, Ginko, aren't you tired?" Standing at the door of Qingtaki's house, Yushan Kazuto suddenly asked.
Kong Yinzi looked at Yushan Heren and didn't quite understand what Yushan Heren meant.
"Just like you are now... raising your hands, I feel this action should be quite tiring." Yushan Heren said.
Kong Yinzi couldn't help biting her lip and pulled her hand out of Yushan Heren's pocket. To be honest, it did feel a little sore.
There is a big difference in size between the two, and the design of Yushan Kazuto's clothes is relatively avant-garde, with the pockets located relatively high up.
Even Yushan Kazuto was not very comfortable putting his hands in his pockets and had to put both hands up with great effort, let alone Kong Yinzi.
When Kong Yinzi moved just now, he almost raised both of his hands. It was natural that he felt a little tired after holding them for so long.
He looked up at Yushan and others and said, "I'm going back first."
Yushan Kazuto smiled and nodded: "Go in quickly, I will go back after you go in."
Kong Yinzi blinked slightly, walked towards the door, opened it, looked back, and saw Yushan Heren smiling and waving at her.
Her eyes fixed on Yushan Heren for a few seconds, many thoughts flashed through her mind, and Kong Yinzi finally raised her hand, waved gently to Yushan Heren, and then walked into the house.
Looking at Kong Yinzi waving, Yushan Heren couldn't help but want to laugh.
I don’t know if it’s because Kong Ginko rarely does this action or because her hands are a little sore, but Yushan Heren always felt that Kong Ginko’s waving action was a little uncoordinated, which inexplicably tickled Yushan Heren’s funny bone.
